As much as Thirteen wanted to save the other children, he knew that it was impossible to outrun the Houdini Mustangs after they started running for their lives.
Also, Brutus, and Bruno, weren’t exactly runners, so it was impossible for them to catch up as well.
Brutus walked towards the Barbarian, who still had two arrows sticking on its back to check if he was still alive.
After confirming that the enemy was dead, he walked towards the back of the wagon and peered inside.
The teenage boys and girls screamed in fright because they thought that the Troll was going to eat, or kill them.
The only people who didn’t shout were Cristopher, Harry, and the timid-looking girl, whom Thirteen had met earlier.
After making sure that its Master was alright, Brutus made a gesture for everyone to come out.
“Let’s go,” Cristopher said. “Don’t worry, he is a friend. He won’t harm us.”
As if to prove that what he was saying was the truth, he was the first one to leave the wagon.
Harry followed behind him with the timid-looking-girl next.
Seeing this, the other teenagers reluctantly left the wagon as well one by one.
When everyone had properly disembarked, they heard a familiar voice calling out to them from a distance.
“Is everyone alright?”
All the teenagers then looked in the direction of the seven-year-old boy who was walking towards them, while holding a dagger in each hand.
The clouds that were blocking the moon earlier, parted, allowing them to see the person that had come to their rescue.
Thirteen walked confidently, releasing a faint blood lust from his body, making the other teenagers shudder subconsciously.
Although the boy was younger than them, they could faintly feel that he was someone that they shouldn’t oppose no matter what.
“Young Master, thank you!” Cristopher went forward and thanked Thirteen, who used one of the daggers to cut the ropes that bound his arms.
“Free the others,” Thirteen said as he handed Cristopher one of the daggers in his hand.
“Yes, Young Master!” Cristopher bowed before walking towards Harry to untie him first.
Since his Master knew who he was, the chubby boy decided to free him first.
While this was happening, the teenage boy who had tried to cause trouble for Thirteen looked in his direction in fear.
As if sensing his gaze, the seven-year-old glanced at his direction and gave him an evil smile, making the teenager almost pee his pants due to how frightened he was.
Harry and the timid-looking girl, whom Cristopher had freed, shifted their attention to Thirteen.
‘Unbelievable,’ Harry thought.
‘What a scary child,’ the timid-looking girl mused.
Both of them believed that at that moment, they were currently staring at the deadliest seven-year-old in Solterra.
Although they were older, they didn’t believe that they could accomplish the same thing that he had, especially against the six Barbarians, who were stronger than them.
“This place is not safe,” Thirteen said to the teenagers before taking out a short sword from his spatial storage. “Who among you considers yourselves to be very lucky?”
The teenagers frowned because they didn’t understand why the boy was asking them this question.
“I believe myself to be fairly lucky,” the timid-looking girl replied.
Thirteen looked at the familiar girl and flipped the short sword in his hand, and handed the handle of the sword to the girl in front of him.
“Your name?” Thirteen asked.
“You can call me Rianna,” Rianna replied.
Thirteen nodded. “Kill those two Mustangs, Rianna. Hopefully, you will get something from them because of your luck.”
The teenage girl nodded and went to do the deed without questioning Thirteen’s orders.
Harry had been told by his parents that aside from Mikhail, the younger boy, Zion, also seemed promising, so he should do his best to form a good relationship with him.
Of course, Harry thought that his parents were only being nice when they told him that. He didn’t see anything special about Mikhail’s brother, and only said yes to his parents’ words out of respect.
But now, after seeing this boy stand before him, he could tell that his parents were right.
Just as he was about to ask Thirteen what he planned to do next, Rianna returned and gave her report.
“I got an Avatar from one of the Houdini Mustangs, but…,” Rianna frowned.
“But what?” Thirteen asked back.
He was pleasantly surprised that the girl had managed to get an Avatar, which was considered a boon to Wanderers who were starting out. It seemed that she was indeed quite lucky, making her an ideal last hitter in Thirteen’s book.
Cristopher’s luck wasn’t bad, especially since he had the hidden class, Brute Tamer.
But, his item drop rate was very bad.
If there was a status screen that would show Cristopher’s hidden stats, it would be something like this.

Rianna frowned before raising her hand.
Instead of a Houdini Mustang, a different kind of Horse appeared, making Thirteen rub his chin as he consulted his database to find out what kind of Horse it is.
“This is a Black Morgan,” Thirteen said after a few seconds, making Rianna’s eyes widen in shock. “It’s a Mutated Horse breed that is extremely rare. Tell me, does it have the Evolver Skill?”
“It does,” Rianna replied. “How did you know that this is a Black Morgan?”
“I am from the Leventis Family,” Thirteen replied.
Thirteen didn’t plan to explain how he knew about the name of the Mutated Horse, so he simply said that he was from the Leventis Family.
Using the name of one of the Ten Prestigious Families, he wanted others to think that he was able to do the things he could do, and know the things he knew, because he was born from a Prestigious Family.
“It’s a Rank 2 Monster, right?” Thirteen replied. “While it doesn’t specialize in battle, it is one of the most sought-after Horses by Cavaliers because it is one of the best Horses in mounted combat. Also, its ability to evolve makes it the cream of the crop. You really are lucky.”
Thirteen then glanced at the wagon and nodded his head.
“Well then, Rianna, I’d like to use your Horse to drag the wagon,” Thirteen stated. “Like I said earlier, this place isn’t safe and there is a chance that the Barbarians might return later. For now, let us head back to a safe place.
“Bruno, lead them back to the cave. Harry and Brutus stay with me. We need to cover our tracks so no one will be able to follow our trail.”
Bruno led everyone back to the cave, while Cristopher sat on his shoulders.
Rianna urged her Black Morgan to follow behind the Ogre, while pulling the wooden wagon behind it.
While the first group was moving away, Thirteen and Harry started to erase the tracks that were left behind by the wagon
Brutus was there simply to guard the two of them just in case a Monster appeared. A few hours later, the first group arrived at the cave.
What Thirteen didn’t know was that, during this time, the boy who didn’t like him was once again causing a ruckus, and was even instigating the others to join his side.
Cristopher watched this coldly from the side with his arms crossed over his chest.
What the others didn’t know was that he was laughing at them in his heart.
The reason why he wasn’t doing anything to stop the boy from instigating a mutiny was because he wanted to know which of the teenagers were going to side with the annoying bastard, who still didn’t understand that he was messing around with the wrong person.
