Bang!

The old man is thrown inside the room where the Nebun Mother are.
Verick came in with his two knights.
Nebun Mother and the two man wearing a mask are still in their calm position, seemingly not shock or scared by the sudden intrusion.
The old man who was beaten badly, crawl towards the Nebun Mother.
"Ne...Nebun Mother...save me please..." He pleads.
"Enough with the charade, give me the girl. Or I'll have your head right here, right now!" Verick furiously stated.
"Oh...you're one of my clients. Come, have a sit." The Nebun Mother still calm, smile and invite him to sit.
Verick throws his daggers towards the Nebun Mother as it landed on the wall.
"Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. You better give me what I want. Or my dagger will landed exactly to your head next." He threatened.
The Nebun Mother put up both of her hand in the air, surrendering.
"Fine...but right now. I'm in a tight position. For my other clients think otherwise." The Nebun Mother said as she deliberately turn to look at both of the men wearing a mask.
This time Verick and his knights turn to look at them.
Sir Nathan and Sir Bolt getting into their position. Seem ready to attack.
The two man in the mask still remains calm.
Verick walk towards the man who was sitting down. He pointed his sword towards the man.
"Who are you? Who sent you?!" He questions.
The two man still remains quiet. Verick feels very insulted. He then furiously swings his sword towards the man.

Clank!

In speed of light, the other masked man block Verick attack with his sword. Verick almost lost his footing.
Sir Nathan and Sir Bolt was taken aback for they didn't see it coming. They usually can sense when their opponents tries to make a move. But this masked man make them failed to sense any of his movements. This make them grew alert as they take some extra caution. Both of them finally pull out their sword. For their opponents were likely to be high skilled.
Verick regain his footing.
"How dare you!" Verick attempted to attack again. This time with Sir Bolt and Sir Nathan helping him.
The golden black masked man easily subdued the three of them.
The black masked man just sat quietly, with the Nebun Mother watches in excitement while the old man is frightened to dead, crawl behind the couch.
The three of them couldn't even get through him. The golden masked man is really indeed high skilled in sword fight.
'What in the world? The three of us gang up on him and still...we can't even get a scratch of him? If I can't get that wretched girl, father will be furious. I need to changed plan.' Verick thoughts.
"You may be good at sword. But having making an enemy with me, wouldn't do you any good. I will give you more than the one who hired you. Name your price." Verick put away his sword as he tries to negotiate with them. Seeing him doing so, Sir Bolt and Sir Nathan both stand down.
The golden masked man also stand his ground. He seems to protect the black masked man.
"Nothing in the world that can change the deal that we make. Not even you young master of the Wickson household can change our mind." The black masked man said.
The three of them were shocked as the black masked man knows Verick identity. Hearing his true identity, the Nebun Mother realise something. She then smiled mischievously.
"Gentlemen, let's calm down for awhile. We all are doing business here. As we already taken the job of finding the young lady. We shall bring the young lady to you. What you want to do with her, will not be our problem." The Nebun Mother steps in to stop their confrontation. She turn to look at the old man.
"You! Tell them to bring the little princess here." She order. The old man hurriedly left the place, as he genuinely terrified with the people inside that room.

Meanwhile, Irene and Arlo successfully help all the slave to escape from the prison. One of the young boys even told them about the carriage the Nebun Mother used as transportation to sold all of the slave for her business. They use all the carriage to help them escape. Just as Irene was about to help Callus get in the carriage, he then held her hand.
"Where's Ben? I didn't see him get in the carriage with the others."
"Ben? I didn't see him. Are you sure he didn't get in with the others?" She questions back.
"Yes, I'm sure. I counted all of them as they get into the carriage." He said.
"Alright don't worry, I will check inside. I will make sure he gets into the next carriage. When you get to this town, you go to this tavern. There, you will meet with Old Judy. She will help all of you. Now, you have to leave this pla..." Irene was just giving him instructions, when suddenly Callus pulls her into a hug. She was surprised while Arlo who is helping the others to get inside another carriage was also shock.
"Thank you, Irene." Callus said with gratefulness. Irene hearing this smile, as she hug him back.
"Just stay safe." She told him.
As he then release her from his embrace, he gets in the carriage.
"Goodbye, Irene." He bids her farewell.
Seeing the carriage leave, Irene turn to get inside but Arlo stop her.
"Where are you going?"
"I have to find Ben, he hasn't get into the carriage." She said.
"I come with you." Arlo said as they get inside together.
As they search inside, they didn't find Ben.
"He isn't here." Irene started to get worried.
"You search over there, I'll search over here."
Both of them separate to search for him.
While searching she smells some smoke. She saw a big smoke from the prison cell.
"Don't tell me..." Irene seem to realise something hurriedly go there.
