To save the second male lead of a mafia novel!

Chapter 78- From villain to hero

I glanced at George who was stunned and shaking from fear.

He obviously doesn't have the money to pay them back and his mother is gone.

I quickly put Aria's body under the bed and grabbed George by the hand.

"Listen carefully. Hide there in the corner. I will take care of them."

He ran and hid without question.

I took a deep breath and went to open the door.

"Excuse me , who are you?" I said.

The men seemed confused. One was tall and chubby with brown eyes and blond hair and the other was short , had green eyes and ginger hair with a characteristic mole on his cheek below his eye.

"Did you take me to the wrong house you dumbass?!"said the short man and hit the other on the head with his hand.

They have guns...In their pockets...Ha...

"Sorry boss! I really thought this was the one! All the old houses here are the same!"

I smiled.

"Who are you searching for? I can help you."

The strict man answered in a rush.

"No need peasant! We are leaving!"

He grabbed the other man by the shoulder and they left.

I closed the door behind me and sunk on the floor in a relief.

"Gosh...They must be from the mafia..."

Is this the period when George gets involved with the mafia?

George got out of his hiding spot and hugged my legs tightly.

"Huh?"

"Thank you Diana! Thank you. These men always treated mom badly...I wish I could fight them but I am so weak" he said.

I sighed and rested my hand on his head.

"It is okay. I will get you out of here but first let's bury your mom's body .Okay?"

George's eyes light up and I helped him bury his mother a bit far from the village.

I have never seen someone sad and happy at the same time  like this.

I also can't believe that I am burying someone...

After we were done we prayed together for her happiness in heaven.

"Thanks for everything Diana" said George.

"Your welcome" I said with a small smile.

We should get out for here before these men come back!

I spoke up in a serious tone.

" We need to leave George. These two will find out that I lied to them sooner or later . We are in danger."

I am terrified...

I sighed.

But this is for the world's sake.

George nodded.

"I understand Diana. I don't have anything to bring with me- We can go right now."

I held his hand and we made our way out of the village.

Where off to now?

We can't go somewhere near the village, they will find us in no time...And if they do, I will consder myself dead...

At that moment a portal opened right in front of us.

Oh?

Huh?!

Is the god of books trying to help us?

I turned to George with a smile.

"Here let's go!" I said and held his hand , while we were entering the portal.

At the end of it we found ourselves in another city.

"George we need to-"

I turned to look at him but he was gone.

I was just holding his hand, what is going on?

"This is the next part of the story." I heard a voice say inside my head.

This voice.

"You teleported me ?"

"Yes. You can't possibly spend all your life doing this. I will help you too.It is my duty"he said.

"I see. Thank you" I said.

" It is nothing but be careful. Around this time the writer will enter his body."said the voice.

"Okay. I will be careful."

The village from before is more like a town now. In the future it will become the biggest city.

I should look around.

I started walking around and noticed that everyone is in a rush.

What is going on?

One woman screamed.

"Please help me! The mafia! The mafia is here!"

The mafia!?

A man tried to grab that woman as she was running but she was protected by another man.

This appearnace!

It is George in his teens!

He kicked the attacker in the stomach , making him collapse on the floor.

I rushed to aid the lady , helping her stand up.

"Are you alright miss?" I asked with concern.

She nodded and tears of relief were running down her cheeks.

She turned to the young man that saved her with a smile.

"Truly thank you for always protecting us George"she said and ran to safety.

George got closer to take a better look at me and he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Diana? Is that you?"

"Yeah?" I replied confused.

His eyes sparkled for a second and he hugged me.

I froze but returned the hug.

 I am glad he isn't becoming a villain at this point.

I let go and smiled.

"I see that you are becoming a small hero for this city , huh?"

"Yeah...I wish to help people. The moment you disappeared through that portal I thought that all this was part of my imagination but you inspired me to help people. The kind president of this town took me in ."

Oh? The president? He must be young now too .

" No, it wasn't like that , but I am happy that you are finding your way out of this."
