Aviger shouted, "You bunch of degenerates! This is our
vige. Who are you to tell us to move just because you’ve
taken a fancy to it?"
Another viger chimed in, "We’ve been living here since
we were born, and we’re not moving. What you’re doing is
illegal."
Viger C shouted, "That’s right. We are living peaceful
lives, yet youe here and cause trouble. Where would
we go?"
Freddy was enraged by the vigers’ mor. He snapped
and yelled, "I couldn’t care less about you. If you don’t
move out, I’ll just have to clear the vige by force. This
ce is so remote. No one would bat an eyelid even if I
beat you all to death."
----
Hemanded, "Get them!"
The men with iron bars rushed at the vigers, who
defended themselves with hoes used for farming. Chaos
ensued. The troublemakers were skilled fighters, and soon
several vigersy injured on the ground.
“Well, old man, are you going to give in? Or do you want to
see all your vigers beaten to death?” Freddy sneered.
Enraged, Orion chided, "You hooligans! Do you not fear the
law? You beat us up just because we disagree with moving
out. I won’t let you get away with this. Even if you beat us
to death, we’ll never let you have your way."
Orion’s words provoked Freddy’s fury. He swung his iron
bar at Orion’s head. Freddy said sinisterly, "You old geezer,
I think you’ve lived long enough." Orion’s head would
surely split open if this blownded.
Several vigers shouted anxiously, "Chief, look out!"
They wanted to go over and help, but they were in bad
shape and were covered in injuries.
----
Just as the iron bar was about to hit Orion’s head, a silver
needle shot out and pierced Freddy’s wrist. He instantly
lost his grip on the iron bar and dropped it. He clutched his
hand and wailed.
He screamed in agony, "My hand!"
He then howled and cursed, "Who did that? Who’s
sneaking up on me? Show yourself. How dare you ambush
me! I’ll tear you limb from limb!"

By the time Danielle and the Darling
family arrive@at the vige entrance,
some vgers had been beaten to
the grouffd. When Danielle saw we
Fred out to hit Orion’s head with
the irsn bar, she quickly shot-put a
silver needle and saved Orién from
the attack.
----
"I did it," said Danielle as she stepped forward to face
Freddy.
Freddy was sweating from the pain.
He cursed, "Balmn you! You’re—" He
looked Wend saw Danielle. The rest
of his i BS gilts stuck in his throat. He
wondered why he had never seen
suckta Seautiful girl before even
thatigh he’d been to this remote
Vge so many times.

Freddy said, "Beauty, I was just joking around with the
chief. You’re quite strong for such a pretty girl. I like that."
Danielle rolled her eyes in disgust.
"Chief, are you alright?" Danielle asked.
“We’re fine. Thank you for saving me." Orion looked at
Danielle gratefully.
“Pretty little thing, I’m injured. My wrist still hurts. Come and
blow on it for me. If you please me, maybe I’ll let these
poor folks go." Freddy leered at Danielle, practically
drooling.
Xavier chided, "Have you looked yourself in the mirror?
You’re disgusting! You’ve yellow teeth, bad breath, anda
face like a rotten orange. One look at you and I’ll have
nightmares. And yet you want to be my brother-inw?
Dream on!"
Xavier was furious. He was appalled by how this good-for-
nothing was so brazen to flirt with Danielle.
Freddy’s face turned red with anger. He gritted his teeth
and threatened, "You stay out of this, kid, or my iron bar
might justnd on you next."
----
Xavier retorted, "Look at you, acting
all tough. Anyane can talk big. I
could do it aliaay Bullying these
vigers isn’t an impressive feat. eo
They have made it clear that they
don’t wea t to move. Why are yer
beingso tyrannical? BeatingQeople
upyust because they won’tmove?
Lt me tell you. I recorded?
everything. Let’s see if you can still
keep up the tough act after this."
