"Jule, it's us." The white haired girl spoke as a very big smile appeared on her face.

"You don't remember us, jule ?" The brown haired girl spoke.

"Yeah, that's not helping me remember you at all. I will need some more information on you, if you want me to remember you." Anon spoke.

"Jule, it's me Ven and she is my older sister Fen. You don't remember us ? We live like 2 houses away from you.

You used to play with us when no one else wanted to and you also saved us from that dog when we were 13. Now do you remember ?" Ven said as she looked at Jule with a puppy face.

"Ohhhhh... You are Ven and Den the 8th and 9th daughter of your house. No one wanted to play with you when you were Little because you wore torn hags instead of clothes and i was the only kid in the neighbourhood who played with you.

Both of you once promised to marry me too, right ?" Anon replied with a smile.

"Y-Yeah, Your memories suddenly took a sharp turn huh ?" Den spoke as both of their faces turned red.

"Oi, Oi, Jule. You realise that you just ruined our plan to hunt that hell hound, right ?" The grey haired guy spoke as he came out of the bushes.

"Hmm...? Did you say something ?" Anon asked as he continued to eat his fruit.

"I said-" as he was about to repeat himself saul stopped him from going any further.

"Shut up." Saul spoke as he touched his chest slightly.

"But Saul, he just-"

"I know what he did... Don't tell me. I hope you also saw what he did to that Hell Hound, right ?" Saul asked.

"Y-Yeah..."

"So, keep your mouth shut or do you want to see it go apart just like he did to that hell hound. This is not the same guy we used to bully, he is changed. He is stronger, He is merciless." Saul spoke in a very low tone.

"How did you figure that out ?" The grey haired guy spoke as he whispered into Saul's ears.

"He teared the hell hound's jaw apart just like a toy and he took pleasure in that. That's not what a sane elf would do." Saul replied.

"Yeah." Garry replied.

"What were you saying again, Sir ?" Anon asked as he looked at Garry.

"Ahaha... Nothing, i was just saying that you did a good job killing that motherfucking hound." Garry replied as he instantly changed the way of his talking and his expressions.

"Jule... How many did you killed ?" Saul asked as he sat down near the bonfire.

"Hmm... Let me see." Anon said as he started counting.

Saul started sweating as he looked at Anon counting.

'How many did he kill that it's taking him so long to count ?' Saul wondered as he wiped the sweat off of his forehead.

"Ah... Okay, after adding this one. I have killed 56 so far." Anon replied with a smile.

Suddenly silence covered the whole space and only wood crackling sound came from the bonfire.

"Y-You are not kidding, right ?" Saul asked with a surprised expression.

"Nope. You want proof ?" Anon asked.

"No keep it, but i want something else." Saul spoke with a serious expression.

"What ?" Anon asked.

"I want you to team up with us. If you joined us, no one will be able to defeat us. You will get the first place, me second and garry will go third.

What do you say ?" Saul proposed.

"What ? Brother this is-"

"Shhhh, i never told you to talk, so keep it silent." Saul spoke.

"Y-Yes, brother." Garry replied as he went silent.

"No." Anon replied as he stood up.

"What ?" Saul asked in confusion.

"I don't want to be with you, you guys are too scared. You used these girls as your bait. That's like the most non-men thing you could've done." Anon replied as he looked at Saul directly into his eyes.

Saul didn't speak anything he just looked down in silence.

"You can't speak like that to my brother-" Garry spoke but he was interrupted immediately by Saul.

*Slap*

"Did i tell you to fucking talk ? Why are you talking, you fucking son of a bitch... You were nothing the last time you were in this competition and now you are daring to talk without my permission ?" Saul spoke as he started beating Garry up but his words were directed towards Anon.

"Well, i will be leaving then. You guys should men up and hunt the hell hounds by yourself." Anon spoke as he tapped the thrid guy on his shoulder and started moving towards the forest.

"J-Jule... Wait." Fen spoke and halted Anon's step.

"Hmmm...? Is there something you want to say, Luv ?" Anon asked turning around as a smile formed on his face.

"Can we come with you ?" She asked as both of them looked at Anon with puppy faces.

"Why ? Wouldn't you prefer spending the night near the bonfire with these guys ? I mean, you don't want to leave them and the bonfire for a guy who is going to wander in the dark forest by himself with no food, right ?" Anon asked with a smile.

"No... I feel safe with you. Please let us come with you." Ven spoke as she closed her distance to Anon and hugged him tightly.

"What about you ?" Anon asked Fen with a smile.

"I-I will come because..... Ven is going." She replied after thinking a bit.

"Yeah but you don't have to. You see i can take care of her easily. I can only take you with me if you speak the truth." Anon replied as he teased Fen.n0veLusB.c0m

"I-I also feel safe with you." Fen spoke in a very low voice.

"Huh...? Didn't get that ? Something you saying ?" Anon asked.

"I also feel safe with you, Stupid. Just take me with you." She shouted but suddenly realised that she was shouting it out loud and she immediately covered her mouth with her hands.

"Okay, let's go." Anon replied with a smile.

'Hahaha... Manipulation technique worked. This is the 4th biggest manipulation technique of all time and the name of the technique is 'Play The Hero.' Anon thought as a smile appeared on his face and he disappeared into the thick forest with the two girls.
