Cavaliers, a group funded by the governnt itself and surrounded by mysteries.
So say that they were one of the finest intelligence agencies in the known world, but so say that they were just a bunch of lunatics and barbarians due to their unusually cruel and inhumane way of dispatching enemies and monsters.
Despite the rumors floating about, there was one thing that everyone agreed on about the Cavaliers and that was the fact that they were incredibly powerful and a force to be reckoned with due to their frequent dealings with the supernatural...
But mbers of the Cavaliers, although, unknown were generally feared by the common populace mainly because of their reputation for frequent executions of those deed as threats for the Kingdom and spies, as well as, traitors.
They also keep the peace of the kingdom by being one of its bastions against the monsters created after the first Cataclysm that brought, not only humans into the world of Las Felipinas, but also monsters.
If Calvin wanted to recover his missing eye and the functions of his arm...
He needed to beco a mber of the Cavaliers.
As far as Calvin could rember, there was a particularly dangerous but surefire thod of gaining the attention of the Cavaliers and potentially joining their ranks.
It was to encounter a supernatural phenonon and survive.
Before Calvin even arrived in Ashlion, he was already making so plans as to how he could stumble into a supernatural phenonon and survive.
This was the only way that Calvin knew in contacting the Cavaliers, for they were incredibly secretive with their dealings and often left no traces of their tracks.
They were harder to find than a needle in a haystack.
Calvin took out the ancient notebook of the Notebook of Secrets That Will Destroy Your Life and scribbled a few words into it.
Noticing that there was no reaction at all, Calvin let out a sigh. It has been eight months since Dandelion went into hibernation after he overdrew his power in order to escape from Mount Spirit Sword Asylum.
But even now, he was still in deep sleep.
It was unknown, even to Calvin as to when Dandelion would wake up.
Fortunately, Calvin could still use so of the powers within the Notebook.
Staring at the commotion up ahead...
Calvin had realized that at least a dozen gangsters had surrounded the woman.
"Fine... Since I need that dallion, then I'll make an exception and save an unknown damsel in distress!" Calvin squeezed his way towards the commotion, but just as he was about to escape the crowd and save the damsel in distress, a cute, yet defiant voice suddenly rang out.
"You..."
"Don't bully mommy!"
"Superman will co and beat you up if you keep on bullying mommy!"
The loan shark and his n stared in confusion at the young girl.
"Superman?"
The loan shark whispered. He felt that the na sounded domineering and intimidating.
"Th-That's right! Scared, yet?! Hmmph! Daddy always told that whenever there are people in need, and whenever there are people being bullied. Superman will co and save us!"
The young girl who looked to be no more than six-years-old crossed her arms in front of her chest and acted as tough as possible.
But...
When the loan sharks and his subordinate gangsters saw how the little girl's small fra kept on trembling as she stood her ground against them. They boisterously laughed and said, "Superman? Hahaha... What bullshit! What does that even an?"
"Even if he's Godman or Demon-man, I don't care! If a man like him really cos here to interfere, then he'll suffer the sa as you and that mother of yours!" The loan shark and the gangsters laughed together before they started to surround the mother and daughter duo.
"Hand over that dallion right now and I can consider letting both of you go! It's already good for us to offer fifty Joselian Pesos for that cheap-looking dallion, and you're actually looking for more? Do you want to die that much?"
The loan shark arrogantly said.
The woman wept and sobbed as she swept her gaze around her, seemingly looking for help.
However, when her eyes landed on the people around her.
They instantly avoided her gaze. It was obvious from their looks that even though they didn't want to see injustice like this happen, they weren't willing to do anything for they were afraid to be the next target of these gangsters.
As much as they wanted to intervene, they knew their place and knew that they were not strong enough to defeat these bastards.
The woman despaired.
It has been three months since they last paid their rent and this was the last month for their remaining grace period.
If they still didn't manage to pay their rent, then they would beco holess. Once they lost their hos and started wandering the streets.
It would be an understatent to say that they would die.
They would definitely die miserable deaths.
Being a woman and holess in the City of Ashlion was never a good combination due to the number of slave rchants crawling through the city, looking for suitable vagrants that they could capture and turn into their slaves.
More importantly, she couldn't let herself be captured by one of those brutal and unscrupulous rchants.
If they were captured, then the rchants would definitely discover her secret, and once that happened...
It would be ga over.
But what should she do...?
She had no money to pay her debt that had been racking up interest since three years ago.
And she also wasn't strong enough to fight against these ruffians.
Dear...
Why did you have to die...?
Why did Goddess Grace take you away from our lives...
She stretched her hand out and gave her daughter a tight embrace.
As the ruffians surrounded them, it was obvious that they would definitely die.
These gangsters had realized the value of the dallion, and they were more than willing to do anything just to take it away.
At least, before she died... She wanted to give her daughter one last embrace and express how much regret she feels for being such a failure of a mother.
But unexpectedly, amidst her sobbing and cries.
Her daughter stared at her in confusion and said, "Mommy... Why are you crying? Daddy told that Superman will save us if we're in trouble! Are you crying because... Daddy lied...?"
The woman stared wide-eyed at her daughter.
Biting her lips, she was about to answer that her father indeed lied.
But before she could even say anything.
A voice suddenly reverberated.
"Nope... Your daddy didn't lie..."
Calvin squeezed out of the crowd and casually walked towards the center of the commotion.
He stood between the ruffians and the mother and daughter duo as he said.
"The Superman is here..."
