Chapter 140: Enel, Humiliated
"No need to keep looking."
Jiang Qize smiled faintly.
"Oh."
The captain's word was law; whatever he said went.
Robin followed behind him.
Once outside, his gaze drifted toward the most run-down house at the far end of Birka Village.
There, a painfully thin child was squatting on the ground, eating something unidentifiable. He had no wings, his hair curled up like a landlady's perm, and his earlobes hung long.
"So it really is Enel. Looks like he hasn't eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit yet."
Jiang Qize murmured with a small smile.
Enel was easy to recognize: look at the earlobes, and see if he had wings. In this tiny village of Birka, only Enel had no wings. Because of that, the villagers rejected him, and the other children bullied him, leaving him with a childhood full of scars.
"As long as I find the place Enel often goes, I should be able to find the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."
"Robin, go back first."
He turned to her as he spoke.
"Oh, okay." Robin nodded.
Her wings spread behind her, and she shot into the sky.
Jiang Qize glanced at Enel, then lightly tapped the ground with his toe and sprang dozens of meters upward.
Whirr!
The enormous form of the Wind God Pterosaur swept past, catching him midair.
"Head up and circle around the area."
He spoke softly to the Wind God.
"Yaa~" the Quetzalcoatlus responded, rising steadily.
From its back, Jiang Qize watched Enel on the ground.
Time passed, and the sun quickly set.
The people of Birka saw the "giant bird" circling overhead and had no idea why it was there. Their fear faded into calm in the span of half a day.
After dinner, they would still come out occasionally to take a look at the "giant bird" in the sky.
"Freak, eat cloud-soil…"
"Pah, wingless freak."
"Hahaha, let's pour water on him."
In front of the house at the far end of Birka, a group of children surrounded Enel, laughing and spitting at him.
A tall, sturdy boy made a suggestion as he started undoing his pants.
"Yeah, yeah…"
"Me too."
One by one, they all pulled down their pants toward Enel.
Hissss…
Streams of yellowish-white liquid splashed down over him.
Enel curled up on the ground, arms wrapped over his head, offering no resistance at all.
High above, Jiang Qize watched with his brows drawn tight.
Even someone as mild-tempered as him couldn't help but feel anger rising. These children were far too cruel.
At the look of things, this wasn't the first or second time Enel had been humiliated like this. And none of the adults in Birka bothered to intervene.
No wonder Enel destroyed Birka after eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. If he were in Enel's place, he would have too.
Although he felt sympathy for him, he wouldn't step in—not until he found the fruit.
"Haya… what are you doing? Get back here!"
A woman shouted from below at the group of children.
"Oh…"
The big kid answered, then told the others, "I'm going home, bye!"
He pulled up his pants and skipped off.
The other children, seeing that the fun was over, lost interest.
"Let's go. We'll play again tomorrow."
"Yeah."
They all left. One of them even gave Enel an extra kick before running off with a giggle.
Only after everyone was gone did Enel slowly lower his hands from around his head, revealing eyes filled with overwhelming hatred—nothing like what a child should have.
He stood up, ignored the filth on his body, and headed toward the forest nearby.
