Chapter 406 - 356 : Cooperation (2/2)
********
Back in the dark world, which is actually the courtyard of the manor belonging to Leiu, the Nameless Knight. The Joker was still training the changed Saly.
Just like last time, she was blindfolded, however, her hearing was cut off and her sense of smell disoriented. Just when she got the hang of fighting, he would give her another handicap, angering her and causing her to greatly suffer.
His blows were agony itself. Whether it's a broken jaw, bent legs or shattered ribs, she was subjugated to all kinds of pain until she became numb.
In fact, three days ago, she started disregarding her body and relentlessly attacking only to be berated by the Joker and hit so hard it almost killed her. The kick she suffered was so powerful that it caused her to remain on the ground for six hours.
He gazed at her pitiful state and said
”Ha? So you don't care about your body anymore just because you got a little hurt? Fuck! Are you dumb or what? When you attack and can't dodge an attack, you must make sure the damage you receive is decreased, even by a little bit. Foolishly ignoring the condition of your body is suicidal.”
As she panted heavily while coughing a bit of blood, the little girl glared at him and retorted
”Y-you don't let me rest for some time so I can heal the injuries… How can I-”
Before she could finish, she was kicked yet again, causing her to cry in painFind authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”Did I tell you to answer? You listen and obey, nothing else! Bloody crybaby… arghh I can't believe I'm stuck with someone like you… my reputation will disappear if people see your state!”
He continued rambling non-stop so Saly used this time to recover a bit.
All of this happened three days ago and now, she can't see, hear or even smell, which made it pretty hard for her to even locate him, much less hit him.
…
A few days later, the Nameless Knight returned only to see a bloodied Saly laying on the ground, no one knew whether she's dead or alive.
The Joker, who had been standing a distance away, noticed the appearance of Leiu so he walked over.
”How's the training going?”
The Joker raised four fingers and answered
”40% done.”
The knight frowned, clearly surprised, he glanced at the unconscious girl and asked again
”Already 40%? This fast?”
The Joker chuckled while fixing his messy costume then added:
”She's a tenacious, I'll give her that. Jack of Spades Growth, 4♦ Strength, Jack of Diamonds Combat ability, not bad, for now.”
”Is that while including her awakened powers?”
”Of course~~”
Leiu pondered for some time before nodding his head. As he was about to enter the manor, the Joker stopped him and asked
”How's things in your end?”
”Death shan't be a problem. It's also about time I return Makaze.”
The Joker angrily stomped his foot and protested
”I don't get why didn't let me deal with that grumpy old man.”
”Because it's not your job but hers. Everything must be done properly so 'it' doesn't happen again.”
The Joker clicked his tongue but didn't object. He turned around and walked toward Saly. No matter how unhappy he was with Leiu's decision, he will never go against his words.
The two were brothers went through thick and thin together. He was the second and he must and will follow Leiu's words.
