Chapter 12: Steelblades

Wilson finally enter the tent where the young Victor is being treated by the mage there were also Roland there keeping a close watch on him.

He was making sure that the mage isn't doing anything to threaten Victor life.

"How is he? Roland." Wilson asks.

"Victor seems to be doing fine so far." Roland answer not taking his eyes off the mage treating him.

"Ha, fine you say, I say he is lucky to be even still alive."

The mage spoke without permission or even care for his words.

"What did you say!?." Roland was about to go off on him, but Wilson stop him.

"Do not be careless with your words here, you should know your place at where you stand."

Wilson informed the mage, but it seems the man does not care much for it yet he is no fool to push piss off Wilson.

"I only saying or I am not allowed to speak at all."

"No you can speak, but I be careful of your words." Wilson warned him as the man filled up two cups handing one to Roland and the other to the mage.

The mage stop healing Victor with one good hand and grab the cup

"Are you sure? That alright boss."

"It fine Roland to shear a drink with someone who is no longer a threat."

Wilson nodded his head giving the ok for him to drink and the man does with no holds back drinking every last drop from the cup.

"Seem like you really needed a drink." Wilson laugh after seeing how fast that man drink from the cup.

"Well if you were me with one good arm still working at the moment, you would too need one hell of a drink too."

The mage said after he then focus his attention back on Victor with a somewhat of a look of concern on the man's face that what Wilson notices.

"Roland why don't you go hangout with Hellfang outside sure the man can use someone to talk to."

"But boss."

"Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on him so he doesn't do anything funny you hear me."

Roland wasn't sure about leaving as he wanted to stay and keep watch over Victor, but seeing as the boss will take over the job make feel a little at ease

"Alright boss me and Hellfang will be outside if you need us." Roland said before he left.

"Alright what your name?." Wilson asks.

"What the point in telling you my name I am most likely going to die like the rest of the hostage."

That was the mage responses to Wilson knowing full well of the situation he in with his life on the line between living or death. He believes he and the others are more likely to die than to live.

"I am not going to ask again." Wilson said with a hit of anger in his tone.

"Fine the name Gaston if you really care to know." Gaston said after he gave out a big sigh while rubbing his head.

"Well Gaston my name is Wilson and I like to know why you had such a concern face when looking at Victor."

Gaston and Wilson had a staring contest right then for a moment when things become quite.

Gaston then gave up and began to speak.

"During my time healing the one name Victor, I noticed the high level of mana flowing within his body. He gifted being born this way, could belong to a stronger family line of mages or he one of them."

"One of them? What you do you mean?."

"I mean them, the Organization known as Steelblades an order of monster hunter."

Wilson remember a time him and Victor had a time they talk about each other, the young man did mention about his father being a monster hunter nothing more than that as he never got to meet him once Victor was born.

Not only that there the Organization, he know so little about them and hope to actually learn something about them from Gaston.

Gaston see Wilson looking at him waiting for the man to go on talking more.

"Anyway, I can cross out the first two off the list and pick number the third one. Victor here an offspring of a Steelblades and I am telling you now that you should kill him while you still have the chance."

Wilson was shocked to hear Gaston say those words it enraged him to the point he grabbed the man by the neck holding a nice tight grip around it.

"What did I say about you picking your words carefully."

"Go ... ahead….. Kill me… I rather be by your hands then the hands of that monster laying there."

Wilson throw Gaston to the hard ground.

"Victor is no monster, I know him for 4 years and show no sign of a monster in that boy eyes."

Gaston began laugh like a man laughing at an idiot standing in front of him.

"You are a fool to think that he is no monster, why do you think Steelblades hunt down monsters.

"What short of fucking dumb question are you asking Gaston."

Gaston gave a disappointed look at Wilson then spoke.

"It is because they are monsters themselves that is why you can see it like fire against fire, monster against monster."

Wilson didn't know how to respond to that as he doesn't much about the Organization, He can only ask questions instead.

"Why? Do you call Steelblades monster, I want to know Gaston."

Gaston was about to answer Wilson question until someone interrupted their conversation.

They both move their attention to see who it is, but only Wilson knows who the person is.

"Lydia." Wilson see her enter with a face of great concern that quickly turn into one of the biggest shocks shown on her face.

------------------------

[Lydia first POV a few minutes earlier]

It seems Wilson and the man have calm victory on the battlefield since we have been informed by one of Wilson men who have been sent by him.

We set out at once to meet them at the new camp location, I really hope to see that everyone is fine.

"Lydia do you think they are ok."

The person to ask me that was Cecilia, Roland twin sister, she was with us girls, but does not do the same work we do.

"I am very sure they're ok, the boys have been training for this for a long time plus there Hellfang and Wilson."

"Your right, I guess I am worrying for nothing then." Cecilia said releasing a sigh of relief.

"Still it not bad to worry even I as well worry a little in it way it mean we really care about them."

I said putting a hand on Cecilia to comfort her.

"Yeah your right, I really care about the two of them and know they will be fine once we see them."

The two of us kept on talking all throughout the ride back until we have finally reach the camp.

Each one of us got out of the cart, I line up the girls to make sure they are ready.

"Alright girls, you know what you be doing tonight, so give it your all to earn your money and don't forget to enjoy yourself as well."

"Yes!." all the girls said in union and start making their way to the camp where Wilson and Elbert men cheer when they saw the girls enter.

The party has just got more lively as the man began to drink more, eat more and now having sex now that the girls are here.

I see Some doing it privately in tents others doing it out of the open with no care to the world as they let themselves be taken over by lust.

"Look like things are starting off at a good start there going to a lot of money be made tonight. Let go Cecilia got to go see how those boys are doing."

I turn my attention to Cecilia to see that girl face all red from watching the sexual scene happening before her eyes.

"Interested in sex Cecilia."

"W-what!? Are you talking about Lydia, I am not interested in such a digesting thing."

"Digesting you say, I bet you say that differently if it was between you and Victor having sex."

I said that and it made the girl blush even more, I can tell that she was thinking about it right now.

"Lydia!." she yelled witch made me laugh while walking up to one of Wilson men who was drinking.

Asking that men were Wilson and the others can be, he point it out where they are at. I notices at the sametime there was an uneasiness show on his face when I ask.

I do not pay much mind to it and started walking with Cecilia to where they be. Upon arriving I see Hellfang and Roland talking outside in front of a tent, both of them notices me and Cecilia, but their expressions show a sigh of worry.

I saw that Victor or Wilson was not with them that is when I start to worry for the worst.

"Hellfang, Roland tell me did something happen."

The two were quiet when I ask a question only Hellfang was to speak.

"Lydia listen…. It Victor." once he said that boy name, I knew something had gone wrong.

Pushing the both of them out of my way and entering the tent the only experience on my face was shocked to see Victor all bandage up laying on that bed.

Wilson was there, but there was also another man inside who I don't know only I don't give a fuck about that person as the one I want to focus on the most was Wilson.

The shock experion I had on my face quickly turn to anger and the next thing I didn't expect I would ever do was hit the man so hard on the face.

I didn't think I ever do a thing like that to him in my life, but I don't give a damn about it.

"Lydia…. I… I am so sorry."

"Shut up! I don't want to hear it just…. Get out and take whoever the hell that is out of here."

Wilson doesn't say anything and left with the men, I walk slowly up to the bedside to take a closer look at him.

I can't believe this happen to him, he badly hurt and has lost one of his eyes. Tears began to come down my face as this is so hard to see Victor like this.

I just don't know what to do to help him, the only thing I could do was grab a hold of his hand tightly while I fell down to my knees still crying uncontrollably.
