<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you so much for saving us, Sir." The coachman walked up to Keith and thanked him. He knew if Keith didn''t help, the carriage would have been in trouble.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s fine. How is everyone in the carriage?" Keith questioned.
<span style="font-weight:400">The coachman stated, "They''re fine. Luckily, if it wasn''t for you and Sir Gabriel, we wouldn''t have gotten out of this alive,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I did what I should," Gabriel answered calmly. He was the one who faced more than 10 bandits alone.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I will help with tending the wounded," The coachman stated as he walked to the guards.
<span style="font-weight:400">Handsome.
<span style="font-weight:400">Now that Keith looked at Gabriel more closely, he looked really handsome. He had an androgynous look. His hair was light brown, and his skin was smooth and white.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you for assisting me," Gabriel smiled at Keith.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith waved his hand, "It was my pleasure,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"My name is Gabriel. What about you?" Gabriel greeted as he raised his hand. Keith shook his hand,
<span style="font-weight:400">"My name is Keith."
<span style="font-weight:400">Strong. That was the feeling Keith got as he held his hand.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ho!" "Po!" Keith chuckled, "This here is Aria and Mir,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Cute," Gabriel smiled as he stared at the two.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sir Keith, where are you heading off to now?" After a few minutes, the coachman returned to Keith.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m heading towards the royal capital," When Keith said that, the coachman bowed his head,
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m sorry to ask you of this, but could you protect us?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" Keith tilted his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You see. Some of the guards are injured." With so many bandits attacking them, it wasn''t a surprise some guards were injured in battle.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Weck the manpower needed to protect the carriage. And we have to drag the bandits to the capital as well." They needed to bring the bandits to the royal capital to cash in the reward.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sir Gabriel, I need your help as well. I will pay you both. Please help us,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m okay with that," "Sure, I don''t mind." The two nodded their heads. The coachman brightened,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you so much! The two of you can watch the east side. Sir Gabriel, I will let you borrow one of our horses."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood," Gabriel nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith asked the coachman, "Um, could you guys wait a bit before we set off."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" The coachman tilted his head when he heard that.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith exined, "With such arge group of bandits, their base should be around here." That was what Keith realized. Such arge group of bandits.
<span style="font-weight:400">There was no way they would be moving their loot from ce to ce.
<span style="font-weight:400">They would definitely have a base set up around here. This was something Michael taught him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course," The coachman nodded. One of the guards questioned the bandit''s leader,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Where is your base?"
<span style="font-weight:400">The leader scoffed, "Do you think I will tell you where our location is?" Did he think he was a fool?
<span style="font-weight:400">"There''s no need to question him," Keith raised his hand. There was no way he was going to reveal it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Aria, you''re back," Keith smiled as he saw Aria flying back down.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Did you find their base?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ho!" Aira made a sound, saying yes.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Good. Gabriel, do you want toe with me?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure," Gabriel nodded his head. He didn''t mind going with him. But the coachman interjected,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Will the two of you be fine going there alone?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"It will be fine. From what I can see, the bandits should have brought their whole force to take out your carriage." There should only be stragglers there.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright," The coachman nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith and Gabriel set off, following Aria''s lead.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That cave should be the one," Keith and Gabriel were led to a cave.
<span style="font-weight:400">"We should be careful," Keith nodded to Gabriel''s words. Like that, the two of them entered the cave.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s too dark to see," Keith frowned. There were no lights in this cave.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Po!" Mir made a sound.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You can smell them?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Po!" Mir nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright, I will let you take point." Keith nodded as he followed Mir''s lead. A Samui''s smelling abilities were strong! The little snowball sniffed around. He looked at Keith.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith quickly raised his hand, stopping Gabriel from moving. There were people near here.
<span style="font-weight:400">Mir. Keith gave Mir a sign. The little snowball knew what to do as he quickly jumped out.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What the?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Who let a rodent in?"
<span style="font-weight:400">The two bandits were staring at Mir before walking up to him, wanting to kick him away,
<span style="font-weight:400">"No one touches Mir!" Keith knocked one of them out while the other one was done in by Gabriel.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Good job," "You too," Keith looked down at Mir, "Mir, are there more around?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Bo,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Those were the only two." Keith nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Po!" Like that, Mir continued to sniff around, and the group followed him. And they were brought deeper into the cave. Keith and Gabriel saw it all.
