118 C117 Sevil's Rescue

The yelling caused Azo to feel his temper catching him again, his eyes glaring at the man as other people stood up asking for proof as well. Each and everyone causing him to growl out almost wanting to choke those individuals.

"Fine, you come here!"

He said pointing to the man who had gotten onto the stage. His hand was moving to the ring as he moved it to the side, activating its ability as a door appearing out of thin air as the people around gasped as Azo pulled open the door.

"Go in."

He stated as he watched the gentleman stare in wonder, rooted to the ground in fear as he had not seen magic before. Looking between both him and the door as he started to shake his head.

"For fuck sake..."

With but a moment's notice, Azo moved forward, grabbing on the gentleman's white cotton shirt as he tugged him into the doorframe. Taking a moment to push him inside as he entered behind him.

"Please don't kill me!"

The man screamed as the door shut behind them. Bull and the Twins shaking their heads as the people near the stage looked even more worried about the rough treatment the man had received to get him inside the door. Now with it closed no one knew what was going on inside.

Inside the man stared at Azo with pure fear as he shook in his boots, eyes looking around at the room which appeared to be more prominent on the inside since the outside was only a door.

"Time to learn. Come here."

The man started to back away as the scaled red man started approaching him. A look in his eyes that showed him he was dangerous as the screams from the poor man couldn't get recognised by the people outside.

Several awkward minutes outside passed by before something changed. Eventually, the door getting opened as Azo came out first dragging a man behind him. The screams were echoing out as the man stuffed his face with fruit, vegetables with a cup in one hand and a plate in another.

"That was amazing. You had so much food!"

Each word was hitting the people close as he continued to talk while stuffing his face. The man was making sure to shove another apple into his mouth with a crunch as he continued.

"So much choice it's amazing, and it's all fresh. Row upon row of food do you have any more?"

The question was a pure and innocent request as the man had little food for him and his own family, but now his plate was filled to the brim.

"We have enough food till the first checkpoint. We will head south-east to the first area with a stash of food provided by the same god that is inside the city."

Those words caused many whispering from the people. Some still scarred by the events that they saw. It was not long until another person stood up with a look of panic.

"You mean the monster that has slaughtered so many people! Cutting them down like wheat, you expect us to go with you to help when we may be next to get killed?"

His words carried as others started to turn and look worried again, everyone gossiping as the mortal mind was too focused on silly issues. Azo felt his anger rising as he wanted to tell people to shut up.

It was not till another man came up to the stage, the robes and appearance giving people a moment of surprise to see a priest of the church here. Many of the people living in the slums though recognising the man known as Sevil.

"People I have spoken to the man you all fear and worry about, as I can vouch for his good will."

His hands came up as his smile tried to calm people down. Many of those inside the walls knew the man personally with his goodwill and charity. The only issue was that outside had never spoken to him due to the limits of entry and exit due to the so-called taxes.

"Why should we trust him. He has killed so many people with blood on his hands so why should we trust this whole thing?"

The few people who were saved by the person only arriving at the back due to getting out last in the city. Those here not in the know about Nathan saving so many people as well.

"It's simple really. The man has saved all the children in my home."

His hand moving as Sevil pointed to the groups of children with the guardians at his side. His eyes were noticing a few workers and his wife while he thought to where Annie had gone as she was not with the group.

"These children were poisoned by the meat we purchased. Many of you may have also become sick when eating it similarly. All of my children perished due to the troublesome nature of the unhealthy food. Nathan visited me during this time and spoke with me. During this time he saved them all without me asking. His anger real as he went out to solve our issue."

Holding his hands together, Sevil prayed that the man did not make any of the people suffer and hoped that each of them had a fair trial in the afterlife.

"He is a kind man with a gentle soul. He is a God I am willing to follow. Saleh may be a Demigod, but her reach here is gone. This man came to me and offered me a place close to him. How could I say no to such a kind God who will punish those who have evil inside!"

Sevil placed his hands together as he looked over everyone with eyes filled with determination as he began to shed tears of joy for meeting such a wonderful man.

"I will follow the God who provides us with food and water, who will shelter us and who will save us when we are in danger. Will you all stay here with the church at your back or take a risk with me and jump to a brighter future."

His words echoed as the crowd remained silent. A few moments were passing by before the gentle clapping of a single pair of hands from the children next to him. Turning into more as the entire group clapped with rapture before the people who had seen Nathan began to clap as well. The infection was growing as the crowd started to cheer as the celebration began.

"Nathan! Nathan! Nathan!"
