    <span style="font-weight:400">"What do you mean you guys were taken out?!" Viscount Filems shouted when he saw his knights return home. They were injured!


    <span style="font-weight:400">And it didn''t look light. It looked more one-sided.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He couldn''t believe his men were taken out like that!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Master, you can''t deal with this kid." One of the knights stated.


    <span style="font-weight:400">From how those knights beat them so easily, the kid wasn''t someone to be messed with. He had a backing!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Shut it!" Viscount Filems yelled. There was no way he would let this brat get away! Not after everything that happened.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Get out of my sight right now!" The knights walked out of the office.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Viscount Filems turned to his butler, "We need to send people to deal with the brat!" Since he couldn''t destroy the bakery, it was time to target the kid himself!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Go find people from the slums!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Are you sure this is wise?" The people from the slums were all poor people. They couldn''tpare to the knights.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"There''s so many people there. They would do anything for coins," Viscount Filemsughed as he stated.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood," The butler nodded.


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith returned to the bakery. But this time, there were two guards there. William decided that there should be added protection.


    <span style="font-weight:400">And the two guards weren''t imposing like Logan and Michael. But they were enough. They had calmed any customer who tried to mess with the bakery.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith didn''t need to worry about Ralph and the others. He looked at Fira and Aria,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s go to Orin and get that tool," Keith had a bunch of bread in his hand. This was payment for the tool Orin was making.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith had asked Orin to create something that would make organized coins better.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Kid, this is simple," Orin scoffed at the idea. It was too simple. For payment, he wanted only bread from the shop. As Keith headed toward his workshop,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s the person,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Do we really have to attack him? He''s a child," One voice questioned their actions.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We have to! Don''t you have to bring your daughter to the hospital? We have to do it!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith continued to walk, but he started to shift around, leading to somewhere else,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I know you guys are following me. Come out," Keith stated with a huff. Aria and he sensed them long ago. That was why he took another turn to be away from the public.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You knew?!" The people quickly came out of the scene. There were a total of five people.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You guys aren''t the best hiders," It was easy. They didn''t hide their breathing as they followed after him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m sorry, but we''re going to have to hurt you!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?" Keith blinked a few times when he heard that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Attack!" One screamed, and the rest charged at Keith! But did they forget about who was with him?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Kwak!" Aria roared out and shot icicles towards the ground. It halted all of their movements!


    <span style="font-weight:400">An Apex monster was here. And the bloodlusting off from the owl was incredible. That caused all of them to freeze.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith sighed, "I won''t attack you guys. But I have to tie you up," He looked up at the sky,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Michael! Come down and help me out!" Keith roared.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How do you know I''m here?! Did the bird tell you?!" Michael shouted as he jumped down from the roof.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"A hunch," Keith answered. He took some rope and tied these people up without a thought. And like that, they were brought over to Orin''s shop,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Orin, do you have the thing I asked for?" Keith shouted.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah, Kid! And-what the?! Hugo! Why are you tied up?!" Orin blinked as he stared at one of the people there,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You know him?" Keith questioned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Orin nodded, "Yes, I know him. We used to be rivals,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Huh? Keith blinked a few times. Michael was the same as he added, "Well, your rival tried to attack the kid,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Orin stared at Hugo, "What are you doing?! Why are you attacking the kid?! Have you fallen so low?!" He couldn''t believe it!


    <span style="font-weight:400">He was his rival?! How could he fall so low?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I had to! My daughter is sick!" Hugo roared.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?" Orin blinked, "What happened?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Hugo exined, "Do you understand how the slums are?! We need to do everything we can to live! That means taking all the jobs possible! My daughter is sick! I have to do it!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Orin and Michael said nothing.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The slums?" Keith tilted his head. This was the first time he heard about it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Orin stated, "Kid, it''s something you''re too young to know,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" Keith turned to Michael, who was silent. He turned to Hugo, "Tell me what the slum is,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Hugo stated, "It''s a ce where there are people who are poor and have nothing to stay at,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We don''t have work, so that''s the only ce we can go,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s better than nothing,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Does Father know about this?" Keith questioned Michael.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Kid, your father has been trying his best to fix it all this time," Michael stated.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"He''s right. Sir William tried his best to fix the slums. But there was too much for him,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...I see," Keith thought about it before deciding, "Alright! Let''s go to the slums,"
