88 88 - Why dont you try it? (1/2)

To differentiate between soldiers and peasants, Aatrox refined control over the intention to kill. In the beginning, he only knew how to feel the intention to kill, after this battle he learned to feel who was exhaling this intention. Thus, those who intended to kill high were considered soldiers, and those who did not were considered peasants.

Some peasants with a lot of intent to kill died, just as some guards survived, but Aatrox didn't care. These people became grateful to him and gave him the nickname Lord of War after seeing how he alone waged a war against an entire kingdom and won.

...

Now, when Aatrox saw the number of guards that the Price family had placed on patrol, he instinctively tried to feel the intention to kill them. And as he expected, most of those people weren't really guards.

As a test, he pulled a guard with the intention of killing the average man and immobilized him. When the guard opened his eyes, instead of looking at Aatrox with hostility, he looked at Aatrox with hope.

Before Aatrox could ask what was going on, the 35-year-old man apparently said. ”Are you the invader who's turning the Price family into frightened dogs?”

”Yeah, why aren't you hostile to me?” Aatrox asked trying to find out more about what the Price family was doing.

Hearing Aatrox's question, the man was furious and answered. ”These bastards, first they hired me as a gardener, then they added more and more bills to my salary, in the third month I, instead of receiving a salary, owed them, the snowball was only increasing more and more, until they started using me as a slave.” The man said as he looked with angry eyes at the Price family.

”Are there many of you?” Aatrox asked.

”They hire new people every month, I've lost count of how many people have been here.” The man answered a little bit down.

”How do they hide so many people?” Aatrox asked trying to prove the hypothesis he had when he invaded.

”To have control over us, they threaten us. Those who do not obey are killed and have their organs removed to be sold on the black market.” The man answered.

When Aatrox heard his confirmation, his anger grew even greater. Just knowing about organ trafficking has already made him want to end this family to be rewarmed.

Feeling that the man wasn't trying to resist and all his hostility was directed at the Price family genuinely, Aatrox left him and went on a hunt for the real guards, now that he already knew the story.
