Victor's words made James relax slightly, but he still looked at Victor with some uneasiness.

Victor stepped forward, slowly stretched out his hands and grabbed James's shoulders, and said in a deep voice.

"Jimmy, we're brothers! Do you understand? ”

Speaking of this, Victor's hands grabbed James' shoulders and couldn't help but increase his strength.

"Good brothers will protect each other!"

After seeing six bone spurs like beast claws growing on James' hands just now, Victor guessed if there was some kind of connection between the two, otherwise how could it be so coincidental that both of them had things like beast claws.

However, this was just his instinctive guess, and when he heard Thomas say that John Howlett was not James's biological father, and called him James's son, Victor was completely confused.

James turned out to be the result of an affair between his father Thomas and Elizabeth, the mistress of the manor, that is, James is his half-brother!

This shocked Victor and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy.

He originally treated James as his own brother, but now that he knew that James was really his own brother, Victor was even more overjoyed, and after seeing James fleeing with the stimulus of his mother Elizabeth's hateful gaze and sharp words, he did not hesitate to chase after him.

Compared with the fierce and tyrannical father Thomas, James's status in Victor's mind is undoubtedly much higher, in his heart, James will always be the frail and sick little brother who needs his care, and now James can rest assured that he is alone alone.

So, leaving his father Thomas in a pool of blood, Victor quickly chased after James ran out of the door.

However, after the changes just now, James's physical fitness seems to have improved a lot.

James, who was originally frail and sickly and lacked exercise, couldn't outrun the sturdy Victor at all, and under normal circumstances, he should be able to catch up with James soon.

But this time, James's strength, speed, physical strength, and endurance were not much different from him, and it took him a lot of effort to catch up with him in the woods.

Grabbing James' thin shoulders with both hands, Victor watched him dodge in a panic, revealing a deep uneasy look in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"You should be strong now! So that no one can bully us! ”

Feeling Victor's love, James, who was originally surrounded by the cold, finally felt a trace of warmth again, and his young heart became fragile again.

Looking up at Victor and remembering all the past, James couldn't help but say to him in a crying voice.

"I want to go home!"

After all, James was just a child, and he had desperately avoided it before, but how could he not yearn to return to that familiar and warm home in his heart.

"We can't go back!"

There was a sense of determination in Victor's voice.

"No matter what, we have to huddle together!"

As he spoke, his eyes began to become fierce.

"All who stand in our way must die!"

After saying this, Victor looked at James with encouraging eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"Did you do it? Younger brother! ”

Looking at Victor's determined and encouraging eyes, James nodded slightly.

At this moment, a noise suddenly came from behind.

"I'm going in the direction of the river!"

"Go up the mountain, hurry!"

The two hurriedly looked back, only to see that more than a hundred meters away behind them, several fires were moving towards them.

"They're coming!"

Victor knew that these people were here to arrest them, and once caught, not to mention the fact that James killed Thomas, the fact that his hands grew bone claws alone was enough to kill him!

After all, in this era, these special humans will be burned to death as "monsters", not to mention a "monster" who killed his own biological father with his own hands!

So they must escape!

"Can you still run?"

Victor asked eagerly, looking back at James.

James was also flustered by the pursuers behind, and when he heard this, he couldn't care about the pain in the soles of his feet, and nodded quickly.

Victor then pulled him and ran quickly into the woods.

Although there was a thick layer of fallen leaves in the woods, there were still a lot of branches and stones scattered on the ground, and it was okay to wear shoes, but James was barefoot, and the soles of his feet had already been cut through many cuts, and he became bloody during the run, and every step was painful.

However, after all the previous changes, James has become a lot stronger, and he endured the sharp pain in his feet and ran forward with Victor without slowing down his speed at all.

"Keep running and don't look back!"

As he ran, Victor whispered a reminder to James.

"Hmm!"

James hummed softly, gritted his teeth and ran with all his might under Victor's tug.

The two of them ran forward as best they could, but they were never able to shake off the pursuers behind them, and although the marks left by the two were not particularly obvious, they were still easy to distinguish in the eyes of experienced hunters, and it was only a matter of time before they were caught.

Both Victor and James couldn't help but feel anxious.

Seeing the pursuers behind them approaching step by step, getting closer and closer, just as the two of them were gradually despairing, a rumbling horse's hooves, which were blocked by trees and became not particularly clear, suddenly came from the front.

Hearing the sound of the horse galloping, the two couldn't help but sink in their hearts.

They even sent people on horseback to intercept them, and it seems that this time they are doomed!

Just when the two of them didn't know whether to advance or retreat, and where to run, Victor's brow suddenly furrowed.

It turned out that as they ran forward, the sound ahead became clearer, and Victor listened carefully, only to find that the sound of horses' hooves was mixed with the sound of rolling wheels.

Victor's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he no longer hesitated, and directly pulled James forward.

The two of them ran a short distance before they emerged from the woods.

Standing at the edge of the woods, looking forward by the dim moonlight, they saw that there was a road next to the woods, and at the source of the sound of horses' hooves, a four-wheeled carriage with two dim windlights hanging at the front of the carriage was galloping towards them from a short distance.

Looking at the carriage getting closer and closer, a hint of joy flashed in Victor's eyes, and he didn't care about hiding, so he hurriedly rushed out of the woods and ran to the middle of the road, spreading his arms to stop the carriage.

It's just that the speed of the carriage is very fast, and it is already not far away, and by the time he ran to the middle of the road to stop the car, the carriage was already very, very close to him.

"Be careful!"
