Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 278: Suspicious People From the Darkness

Avion clasped his hand in appreciation, "Thank you, you're like a doctor! I'll pay you back later!" he took what Raff offered.

'A doctor?' Raff mused but ignored it, "Sure, but feed it to her first to let her drink some water."

Avion nodded and came back to Marin who was still having her monologue.

"Avion Teller, you're name will be passed down in his- What's that? You think I permitted you to put anything you want in my mouth just because you fed me once?"

"Say ah."

"Ah-m"

"Good girl, you're like a certain spoiled princess I know." Avion then took the cup of water in front of him and offered, "Here"

"Don't compare me to lowly princesses." Marin clicked her tongue before drinking the water.

"After that, all she needs is rest. That pill will make her sleepy so that her body will focus on recovery." Raff suggested.

Marin frowned, "Why would I listen to a musclehea-... zzz..." her eyes closed and fell forward for Avion to catch her.

"She hasn't slept in days so after getting this pill, she finally relaxed." Avion explained.

"Oh..." Raff then warned, "Brother, you should be careful next time. What if I have bad intentions and gave you a bad pill?"

"No, I kind of trust you. A person with bad intention wouldn't oversee to protect innocent women."

"So you do understand what I warned earlier?"

Avion laughed back, "So how much for that pill?"

"Take it for free, that's my compensation for wrongly suspecting you. You're just trying to help the girl."

"Thank you very much! My name's Avion Teller." Avion whispered his name.

"Pfft!" Jemer blew the beer he was drinking upon hearing that, 'So that's why his voice is familiar! I couldn't see his face since Raff is such a big man! Why is he out here without any chains!?'

Everyone looked at Jemer for a second before everything went back to normal.

'Avion Teller?' Raff felt that the name was familiar. However, he couldn't just relate this hooded person to the prisoner, the one entitled the 'Mortal Saint' who should be locked under the Colosseum right now, who became famous on the same day of his first appearance.

After waving goodbye, Avion took the sleeping Marin away.

"A good man... I met another good man..." Raff whispered with a satisfied face. That was when he caught Jemer acting suspiciously.

"What's the problem, Brother Jemer?"

"I...!" Jemer kept gazing out to the door where Avion exited. He was hesitating.

'Should I go for him or not? Should I report him then> Since if we fought, I am sure to lose! However! Avion Teller is someone who can mysteriously disappear and appear anywhere, I should keep my eyes on him!'

Only after a dozen seconds did he decided so he stood up, however, he was stopped when Raff grabbed his arm.

"Is something wrong?" Raff looked at him with suspicion.

'Jemer... he's just new here so I don't trust him yet. For him to panic when Brother Avion introduced himself, there should be something going on here.' with a keen mind, the seemingly muscle-head analyzed.

'Isn't he a little too intrusive!?' Jemer thought as he tried to come up with a reason, 'That's it! I can use that!'

"Raff, didn't you just gave that beautiful woman a pill that will make her sleepy?"

"Yeah... it's the side effect of it." Raff frowned while anticipating Jemer's next words.

"And then that man just brought her away!" 

"..." Raff's eyes widened, "Avion wouldn't do that... but you're right... I just met him, he could be just acting. There's still something weird about him. You're right! We should go after them!"

"Huh? You too!?" Jemer asked but just went with it.

Both then ran out of the bar while people cheered and supported.

"Looks like Raff is on another chase!"

"You can do it, Raff!"

"Good luck!"

Raff passed by his friends, Jennifer and Rose, "Sorry, girls, I have something to do!"

"Again!?" Rose was shocked but didn't stop him.

"There he goes again." Jennifer smiled.

"Yeah, he always gives effort for people he doesn't even know." Rose lightly laughed, "He certainly is an ally of justice."

"Due to his intrusiveness that he literally saved us so that's his good point too." Jennifer added.

"Yeah"

Meanwhile, outside the bar, Jemer and Raff ran with, trying to catch up to Avion!

Dun* Dun* Dun* The allies of justice have come to save the day~ Raff together with his new partner, Jemer~ Nothing can stop them so everyone make way~ They will make any villain into a prisoner~ Dun* Dun* Dun*  

Ahead of them, Avion shook his head, "What's that sound in my head?"

He turned around saw Jemer and Raff parkouring their way towards him.

'Why didn't they just ran straight ahead?' Avion looked at the empty wide road that they were not using.

"Avion, stop right there!" Jemer reached out his hand.

"I... I already did." Avion replied.

Raff added, "You will not escape!"

"I am not trying to."

After the anime opening, the two finally arrived in front of Avion.

Jemer and Raff looked at each other.

'What just happened?' they both thought.

"Jemer, why are you here?" Avion finally recognized him before looking at Raff, "And, did you change your mind? Sorry, but I can't reach for my pocket right now."

"No, I just want to ask where you will bring the woman?" Raff just got straight to the point. He looked around and squinted his eyes.

'This is a dark alley, where is he planning to bring her? Maybe Jemer's suspicion is right.'

"I will bring her back to her room now." Avion said.

Meanwhile, Jemer couldn't butt in since he didn't know how to say it.

"Then, if you don't mind. I would like to escort you. It's currently in the middle of the night so it's very dangerous, especially here." just as he said that, people came out of the shadows, immediately surrounding them.

Seeing these people, Jemer's eyes widened as he saw familiar faces.

"Why are you people here!?"

A short fat man holding a sledgehammer, who held the title 'Hammerpig', just snorted in reply.

"We are here to get our Goddess back."

An old man spoke as he came out of the darkness.

Meanwhile, it was Avion's time to be shocked, "Old man!?"

He knew this old man very well. This old man was his very first opponent in the Colosseum.

Avion didn't remember the old man's face but he certainly remembered his long hair on his head, his chin, and on between his legs.

"Avion Teller, didn't I tell you that I will get back at you someday? Hahaha, didn't think our fate would cross this early. Now hand our Goddess back to us!"
