The Lost Prince
CHAPTER 10 STOPPING HUMAN TRAFFICKING

Today is day three. The delivery of the ten poor girls to the port to be traded is just around the corner. Now the time has shown at 6. Means there are only 4 hours left ten girls will be sent soon. While Dhafin and Ariesha have not found a solution to overcome this.

Now the two children were sitting enjoying dinner at the store in their inn. While preoccupied with eating, Ariesha idly raised his head. He accidentally saw five male customers who had just entered the store. He kept staring at the five until they sat around the dining table in the right corner of the tavern.

Dhafin who saw Ariesha's rather strange behavior then looked at him in wonder. Then he looked where the beautiful little girl was looking. Keep asking.

"What's wrong with those people, Ariesha? Why do you keep looking at them?"

"Don't you see that guy in dark brown?" even Ariesha asked while continuing to look at the person in question.

Dhafin turned to look at the five new guests and looked at the 33-year-old man. He stared at her for a long time, then turned to look at Ariesha. Dhafin felt a little strange about this vision of his. The handsome man's face with Ariesha was quite similar. But he didn't want to guess first.

"Has that father ever met you?" tanya Dhafin guessed.

"Yes, he is" said Ariesha. Then back to eating his dishes.

"Do you remember his name?"

"He mentioned his name Felix Damian."

"We finish the dishes first, we meet them, then" Dhafin decided.

After Dhafin and Ariesha finished their meal, they immediately approached the table of the five customers who had just entered. While the five men who were busy eating while chatting, once they realized the presence of the two boys they simultaneously stopped.

Before one of them said, Dhafin immediately asked with great politeness and manners.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, I'm looking for a man named Mr. Felix Damian. Can anyone show me that master?"

The five men did not immediately answer or at least respond to Dhafin's question. They still looked at Dhafin and Ariesha in turn. Then they looked at each other in astonishment. What is this boy looking for General Felix, the Royal Secret Investigation Officer?

While Ariesha's alleged name was Felix Damian, he looked at Dhafin for only a few moments. His pair of sharp eyes were now staring at Ariesha for so long. While Ariesha only looked at the man for a moment, then his head bowed.

"I'm the one you're looking for, son," General Felix said after a long silence. "Sorry, who are you? What's the need to find me?"

"My name is Dhafin" Dhafin introduced who they are. "And this is my sister named Ariesha."

"It's my business to look for the master" he continued, "I can't talk about it in such a public place. Please come with me to my room above."

"Hey, Boy!" exclaimed one of General Felix's friends rather irritated. "You don't know that we're talking about an important issue here. You better get out of here, don't bother us!"

"Yes, already, I'm coming with you," General Felix broke up as if ignoring his friend's rebuke.

"General Felix!" said the man who had rebuked. "You're ignoring our important talk to serve these two snot boys?"

"I do have more important business with them" General Felix said. "I'll stay a while."

"Come, son."

★☆★☆

"Are you ready to come with me, son?" general Felix asked Ariesha directly when they were in Dhafin's room. He sat in a chair near the bed.

Ariesha did not answer. He instead styled Dhafin who was sitting next to him on the edge of his bed with a confused face. So Dhafin immediately refuted General Felix's words by saying politely.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Felix, it's not for that matter that I invite you to speak in private like this."

"Oh, what's the problem, Dhafin?" general Felix asked a little disappointed. "I guess you convinced Ariesha to come with me to Kotaraja. He still doubted me that I was indeed a palace official."

"For that matter we will talk about it later, Mr. Felix," Dhafin said giving hope that General Felix would not be disappointed. "We solve this important problem first, because it's time to stay a little."

"Try to tell me what the problem is, Dhafin!"

"This concerns the matter of human trafficking as the master was talking about earlier with the fellow masters." Dhafin had heard General Felix talk with his four colleagues earlier.

"You know where their base is, son?" asked General Felix astonished and curious.

"Not only know, Mr. Felix, but I also know who is the master of human trafficking in this city."

"Tell me what you know!"

"I'm sorry, before I wanted to make sure that you really are a palace official" Dhafin said, not necessarily giving information that he knew for granted that made General Felix more curious.

General Felix immediately pulled something out from under his clothes. It was a plate card of red metal. On the plate card it appears three lines of writing listed in it. Then the card was given to Dhafin who sat near the range of his hand.

Dhafin immediately read the inscription on the plate card after receiving it from General Felix. Ariesha who just kept quiet also read. On the card is the identity of General Felix who is named General Felix Damian, the Secret Investigative Officer of the Amerta Royal Palace.

"That's my identity badge" General Felix said. "Such a badge was given only to palace officials."

Then Dhafin recounted the incident that he experienced three nights ago after handing back the identity badge of General Felix, where on the incident he accidentally found the 'goods' storage headquarters' they will be sent to the ship for sale. Including Dhafin informed the involvement of the City Officials and the Head of City Security.

"We have been investigating this case for a long time" General Felix said after Dhafin finished speaking at length without being interrupted. "But it has not managed to find the headquarters of those dirty merchants. Because they are always moving. Didn't expect you to find their headquarters."

"I've indeed suspected the involvement of the City Officials in this dirty trade," he continued, "but have not found strong evidence to arrest him."

"Then we should move quickly before the evidence is sent to the ship" Dhafin proposed.

"Still, sir," said Dhafin steady.

"Alright, come!"

General Felix immediately stood up to leave the room. Dhafin also stands followed by Ariesha. Then Dhafin turned to face Ariesha who was also facing him and looked at him with miris.

"Sister, I'm afraid," said Ariesha, saddened with worry.

Dhafin held Ariesha's shoulder, then gently kissed the girl's forehead affectionately. General Felix who had reached the door saw it smiled.

"You take it easy here," said Dhafin gently, "don't be afraid."

"I'm afraid sister why-napa," Ariesha then hugged Dhafin tightly. His heart was so worried for Dhafin's safety. You see, what is faced now is no longer the delinquents of the market, but the criminals who are cruel.

"Trust me, brother is okay. Don't you worry."

After Dhafin convinces Ariesha that he will be fine, Ariesha can calm down. And Dhafin left him quietly anyway.

A horse is driven by its rider quite fast, splitting the darkness of the night, breaking through the cold weather. Approximately one mile more the rider reached the headquarters of the merchants 'forbidden goods.

While running, the horse suddenly neighed strangely like pain. The run was immediately chaotic making a male rider surprised. Soon the horse collapsed. The driver bounces into the air quickly. Then it landed on the ground a bit dimly.

"Fuck up!" meaning after paying attention to his horse that had been lying dead due to being stuck by a dagger in his left neck. "Who dares to play games with me?"

"Me!"

A shocking voice came from behind the man, making him choked instead of playing. He quickly turned his head around to look at the person who came with that surprise. He had not seen well the face of the person who surprised him, immediately appeared again two shadowy figures from the darkness of the night with a fast flashing. Then the two shadow figures knew already standing on his right left a little backwards. Now the position of the man is surrounded by three majors.

"Who are you?" he pulled out the sword. "Don't try to act with the City Security Chief!"

"Catch her!"

The man who turned out to be Captain Darius was not hanged. The first person to appear immediately ordered a no-nonsense arrest. Not yet lost the voice of the commanding voice, the two men standing to the right of Captain Darius immediately attacked him quickly. Following the person who ordered it.

It looks like the arrest of Captain Darius wants as soon as possible. The three people who were members of the Secret Investigation Force instantly advanced at once.

Please be aware that all members of the Secret Investigation Force are one of the elite troop groups owned by the Amerta Kingdom. All of its members were chosen warriors whose prowess was beyond doubt.

Fighting one person is already very difficult. Especially three people who are advancing. Although Captain Darius also possessed great prowess, he remained powerless against them. So that not until a drink of tea Captain Darius already sprawled unconscious.

Meanwhile, at the merchant headquarters....

Six grown men seem busy packing their 'stuff. The ten children were put into ten fairly large crates that were ready on top of two fairly large freight cars. Each of those freight trains had four wheels. And the horse that pulled him two tails. As for the number of crates of the children's container, the carriage front four crates, while the back six crates. Each of the ten chests had holes on both sides.

"Where is Captain Darius?" said the man brewok pitched squashy when it was a long time finished packing 'stuff'. "Now he wants to be sent, he hasn't come!"

"Maybe check her mistress' underwear first, Boss," chirped one of her men with a grin.

The man called the boss did not respond to the prank of his men. He continued to walk beside the passenger train. His men seemed ready to leave. But Captain Darius did not come. Yes, it will definitely never come because it has been rounded up by the Secret Investigation Force.

"What you're waiting for will never come."

Suddenly a voice of people said. His voice was not loud but cold-pitched, making the six villains instantly shocked instead of playing. They immediately turned to the right side of the house where the sound came from. Almost simultaneously out of there General Felix and Dhafin.

No one was in command, five of the crew members were on standby one. Their weapons are direct swords. Wait for the boss's orders.

"Who are you?" the boss snapped when General Felix Damian was close enough to the boss.

"No need to snap," said someone again in a relaxed tone. He appeared to the left of the house and directly approached the six criminals. "Later your strength decreases when you fight later."

"Fuck up! Attack!!!"

The six human traffickers, without further ado, directly attacked the three newly arrived people. The man who appeared to the left of the house immediately greeted the three thugs attack after pulling out his sword. While General Felix, after having Dhafin retreat, he immediately welcomed the attack of the boss and his two men.

But not too long ago, three members of the Secret Investigation Force had appeared. And without much talk they immediately jump into the fight without difficulty choosing opponents.

While Dhafin, after noticing for some time the course of the fight, he immediately boarded the front freight train. Continue to open the cover of the top of the four crates that are there. Then came four teenage girls. Their mouths and hands were tied by cloth. Their tears seemed to break.

Dhafin quickly opened the cloth that covered the mouth of one of the nearby little girls, then opened the cloth that bound his hands. After telling him to untie his three other friends, Dhafin jumped on the other carriage. And do the same thing as that freight train.

After the ten little girls were freed from suffering, Dhafin put them back into the house that had not been locked. Then Dhafin persuaded them to calm down and not to cry anymore. They are now safe, there are already palace criminals helping them. Dhafin continued to persuade them to calm down even though he was still a bit scared.

Meanwhile in the front yard of the house the fight is still going on. But it seems like it won't be over much longer. Although the six criminals had above average prowess, but what they were facing was the Secret Investigation Force. Moreover, the general intervened.

Looks like the six criminals have started to be pushed hard. Just waiting for them to fall down one by one. And sure enough, not long after the six criminals were immediately helpless.
