Chapter 190: Revenge
"Raven? What’s wrong?" Inquired Celia, as she noticed the tense look on his face, before following his gaze right as a fireball came shooting out of the alley towards Raven.
Raven put his guard up, before pausing as he noticed that the fireball was weak and slow, a bemused look appearing on his face as he easily batted it away with the back of his hand as it closed in on him.
"What just...," He muttered, before his eyes widened in surprise as a small figure came sprinting out of the alley, charging straight towards him.
It was a young boy, appearing to be around twelve or thirteen. He had a look of immense hatred in his eyes, and he was clutching a kitchen knife in his hands as he shot towards Raven.
"I’ll kill you!" He yelled furiously as he closed in on Raven, driving the knife forward.
Raven swiftly sidestepped across to evade the thrust of the blade, before grabbing the boy’s wrist with his right hand, and then striking the back of his neck with the side of his palm, knocking him out.
The knife fell out of the boy’s grasp and hit the ground with a clatter, Raven catching him as he began to fall over.
"What...just happened?" Frowned Raven in bewilderment.
"Why’d this kid just try to kill you? Do you recognize him?" Celia asked him.
"No, can’t say I do. His scent isn’t ringing any bells either," Raven shook his head.
"Maybe he’s the kid of one of the corrupt Nobles we killed?" Suggested Celia uncertainly.
