Chapter 90 - The N Word (1/2)

Will and Nzou went on like people who had known each other for years. This baffled everyone. It was clear from their words that they had just met, but they shared a camaraderie that was so unusual.

Karim, being the man that he was, could no longer hold in it. He held his fist out, just like Will had done, and said, ”Ma nigga wassup!”

The moment he said these words, everyone except Letty froze. They all looked at Karim as if he was an alien. Even the cool and calm Ibrahim face-palmed at his fellow teammate's actions. If Nzou was caucasian, his skin would have turned red from embarrassment. He quivered in anger and was about to act but Will moved before he did.

Will drew his sword and went straight for Karim's neck. Karim was also above level 100, which was a massive watershed, so he was no weakling. He saw Will's movements clearly and got ready to dodge. The only person there with a level lower than Will's was Letty, hence she was the only person who saw Will as a blur.

Everyone from Karim's side had the same thought.

'Karim can easily dodge that.'

And rightly so. Karim's specialty was not speed but it certainly wasn't his weakness. Karim saw Will's movements clearly as if the latter was moving in slow motion. To look cool, Karim intended to dodge the attack last minute, but when he tried to dodge the attack, something strange happened.

'Why isn't Karim dodging?'

This was the question on everyone's mind. Alexa and Ibrahim, however, saw it differently. Karim was indeed moving, but he was far slower than Will!

Karim panicked in his heart. It felt as if his entire body was under water, and the water pressure was bearing down on him with immense strength. Just nodding under these circumstances would be an achievement on its own.

Will's sword was only a few centimeters from decapitating Karim's neck when Nzou's voice rang out. ”Bro!”

Will's sword stopped on Karim's neck, a little blood was already dripping down the rusty edge of the old sword.

Everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief when this happened. ”Nigga pump the brakes, he's a retard, ima deal with him later, so chill.”

Will's strict expression relaxed a little, ”I'm pumping bro, I'm pumping.” Will sheathed his sword with a deadpan expression and eventually looked away.

Will stared at Letty and said, ”Listen, never. Ever say the 'N' word in front of me, is that clear.” Will's face was unusually serious as he said this, making the mood even tenser. Letty nodded her head with an intensity similar to a chicken pecking corn.

Nzou grabbed Karim by the collar and dragged him off saying, ”Excuse me, I have to have a chat with this fool.”

No one felt pity for Karim as he screamed like a little girl while being dragged off into the horizon. Letty was still a little confused, but she somewhat understood that Karim had said something that he should not have said. Alexa awkwardly coughed, trying to diffuse the tension.
