Chapter 44: Please help us!

Immediately after Matthew and his father, Nero Ankston, spoke, they left the office room, and headed to prepare to leave.

After about ten, or so minutes, with the company of Gleeward, the Chief of Guards, the father-son pair, as well as the mother, left in a blue carriage, with the sigil of the black wolf on it's side.

It didn't take them much time to reach the Cavias family mansion. During those ten, or so minutes, they needed to prepare, Nero had discussed with his wife what he was going to do. At first, Marcela was just like him, she refused the idea.

But, after the children were mentioned, the abuse they suffered, the Grey Dogs gang's involvement in the situation, Marcela couldn't say anything anymore. She silently agreed, and said to use her connection with Rania to employ the help of the Cavias family.

The carriage arrived at the gate of the Cavias family mansion entrance, the two guards stationed there were a little confused, they hadn't received any heads up about a visit from the Ankston family like usual, still, they couldn't refuse them, and so, the gates were opened.

One of the two guards went to inform someone, who then informed the leader of the family, John Cavias, about the sudden visit of the Ankston family. This was the first time, Nero Ankston, the leader of the family, was coming here, something that made this situation more confusing.

"Hmm? What is he doing here? It seems Matthew has come with his parents, and with them, the Chief of their Guards has come as well!", said the Fierce Lion to his son, Asvin, who was in the room with him.

Asvin was just as confused as his father was, he had no idea why the Ankstons would come without informing them first. And, why the whole family, aside from the young three-year-old girl, would come as well.

"Did something happen?", asked Rania, who looked a little worried. After all, Marcela, was her best friend, and Matthew, was pretty much another son of hers. She had gotten so used to him over these past two years, that she considered him part of the family.

"We'll have to wait and see!", said the Fierce Lion, as he sat back in his seat. After about three minutes, there was a knock on the door, and with it, came a servant's voice. The servant asked, "Lord, the Ankston family wishes to see you, would you let them in?". The Fierce Lion replied with, "Of course, open the door for them!".

With that, four people from the Ankston family made their way inside the room. The first one to speak, was, Nero. He said, "Thanks for letting us in, sir Cavias!". The Fierce Lion gave him a friendly smile, and, responded, "It's fine, call me John! Can I call you Nero as well?".

Nero smiled back at the middle-aged man, and said, "Of course you can!". With the greetings out of the way, and after Rania proposed to them, "Please, take a seat!", the four sat up. Before John could speak, it was his wife, Rania, who spoke first, as she asked in worry, "Mars, did something happen?".

Marcela looked at Matthew, and said, "Well, I really don't know how to say this, but...", before she could continue, Matthew stood up, and said, "Lord John Cavias! Can I ask something of you?".

John smiled. He had known the little boy for two years now, and he was getting a little jealous every time he saw how much progression the nine-year-old had gone through. Still, he, too, had started to think of the young boy as part of his family for some time now.

His smile still there, he said, "Why the lord all of a sudden? You've been calling me uncle for a while now, I would prefer it stay like that! And yes, you may ask!". Matthew gave a small sigh of relief, before he started speaking, his tone serious this time.

"The orphanage I go to every week, it has now become a slave market! Or... Well, a very abusive place for the children living there! I have been trying my best to help the children, by threatening the workers to let them go!".

"But, just recently, I am not sure if you've heard of this or not, uncle, but, a new gang, called the Grey Dogs, has started working with the orphanage! I haven't seen what happened during this week, but I already know, as you do too, uncle!".

"I need your help, to clean the orphanage of all those people, and have new ones, people we can trust, watch over the children there. I know that what I am asking of you is a lot, because, it would mean, you getting in trouble with this gang, but, I believe you're a good man, uncle!".

"I have been seeing you for two years now, and from everything I heard about you, you were never scared to face anyone, in fact, it was quite the opposite, everyone knows about the famous surrendering incident 10 years ago, during the Monster War!".

"The title, the Fierce Lion, your title, was gifted to you, because you were never afraid to head into battle. Even when you were at a disadvantage, you still showed bravery! I believe you will take the best choice, so please, help me, and help the children at the orphanage!".

No one had spoken during all this time, the entire room had gone quiet, as they waited for the nine-year-old to finish what he had to say. John Cavias, the leader of the Cavias family, and the man known as the Fierce Lion, was deep in thought at the moment.

Rania looked at her husband, there were tears in her eyes, she was the type that cared for everyone, and anyone, and so, hearing about how children were being abused, she couldn't take it. Yet, she didn't speak, and just waited for her husband to make a decision.

Asvin, on the other hand, took hold of his red sword, and looked at Matthew head on, as he said, "I will help you! It's just me, but, since this is just a small branch of the gang, with your help, and the guards of the Ankston family, we should be able to do it!".

Asvin, too, had known the children for some time now. He trained Max often, and had fun with the small group of children, he couldn't take this, and just wait. He found a chance after so long.

He stared at his father, as he waited for his decision.

The Fierce Lion, and after about three minutes of thinking, smiled, and replied, "You're quite bold for a young boy, aren't you, Matthew? You come to me, basically telling me to kill some people for you, isn't that right?".

Matthew wanted to say something, but he had no chance to do so, since the Fierce Lion continued, "Okay! I will do it! I am the Fierce Lion after all, I am supposed to be a hero of the kingdom, and a hero can't let children be abused, can he now?".

'Yeah, but you did, for many years now, it took me coming to you, for you to finally act. I guess there is someone behind what's happening in the orphanage, and uncle didn't want to get in trouble with this person, but, now that he is being confronted with it, he can't do it anymore!'.

'I am not saying he's a bad person, because that person behind what's happening, might be a very strong one, I am saying, that I gave him the final push he needed to act on this matter, I want to believe that uncle wanted to act on this for a while, but couldn't, and only now, after I said all of this, he's done it finally!', thought Matthew.

Asvin smiled and looked at his father, as he heard him continue, "We will act today, at night it will be! Go and visit your friends now, little Matthew, take a look, and inform us of everything you found! Also, tell your friends, the ones you know won't talk, to prepare themselves, because they might be taken as hostages!".

"Is that understood? Don't act weird when you're visiting, try to act normal, try and deify the Grey Dogs a bit, just like you were doing while threatening the workers!". Matthew nodded, a huge smile made it's way into his face.

He couldn't believe it, his friends were going to be saved, and by the Fierce Lion himself. This day felt unreal. He was going to see his friends liberated from Albert, and all of the others.

Before he could thank the man, another voice cut in, it said,  "I will go with you!".

It was Asvin that said so. He wanted to be there, in case some accident happened while on the visit. He was confident that he was able to deal with the leader of this branch, since it was very unlikely there would be someone very strong there.

Especially after Nero explained all the information he had on the subject. The Fierce Lion nodded, and said to take Gleeward as well. It wasn't that he didn't trust Matthew, or Asvin, just that he knew the person who could actually bring back the most from this visit, was the man nicknamed the Beast.

Just like Nero, John told everything he knew about the new gang as well. After a bit of preparation, Matthew, Asvin, as well as Gleeward, all left for the orphanage. The little Magician, who was quite strong, went with two other stronger body Guards, to avoid any kind of accident happening.

Rosin and the Manos sisters didn't get a chance to speak with Matthew, and this made them a little sad. They didn't understand what was happening right now. No one told them a thing, they only knew that something serious was taking place, because of everyone's expression.

As for Nero and John, they were surprised to find that, they had many things in common. First off, they both hated the office job. Having to overlook the entire family under them, was turning to be a bit too much for them to handle. Because of this common ground, the two middle-aged men, hit it off quite well.
