Chapter 98: A stinging Bitch slap! (1/2)

While the crowd booed Linda and cursed her for being a shameless bitch, Elliot turned his face towards her, looking down at her in silence for a brief moment before revealing a sly, crafty, sadistic, foxy, and evil smile on his face.

Linda looked at the expression on his face, then suddenly a realization hit her. From the very start, he wasn't aiming to harm her physically! No! He never wanted to kill her! He was just playing with her mind, and she had foolishly succumbed to his words and ended up playing out the act he wrote for her. Yes, from the very start, she was merely acting out the script he prepared to destroy her life!

For him, killing her was letting her off too easy! He wanted to destroy her mentally! He wanted to stomp all over her pride and crush her arrogance so badly that she won't consider bothering others for the rest of her life. He wanted her to suffer so much that she would consider committing suicide as an alternative to escape the life that he has already destroyed!

”Boohoo! Stop bullying me.” The crowd was dissing her pretty badly already, and Elliot's evil smile just added salt to her injuries, causing pretty tears to burst out of her hazy eyes.

Seeing her cry her heart out, Elliot felt pretty satisfied. Is this how it feels like to bully a bully who is weaker than oneself? Is this why Alexander and the people back in school kept on picking on him? Because stepping on the pride and confidence of others feels satisfying? Just because he used to be weaker than them, they treated him like a pushover. Just because he used to not have the strength to defend himself, even the teachers who were supposed to protect someone like him turned a blind eye to him and let him suffer abuse every day. Just because he used to be weaker than them, they never treated him like a human and crushed his confidence mercilessly by stepping on his body, showing him that no matter how hard he trains, he would never be able to overcome them.

But what about now? He was stronger than everyone who has ever mistreated him, and he was also richer, and it only took him one to two months to reach such heights.

Oh, how fast the world change.

Elliot moved calmly and came close to Linda. She was crouching on the ground while he was standing proudly before her, and around them, dozens of participants looked at them in silence.

Linda raised his head to look at the source of her misery with eyes that were overflowing with viciousness and tears. Of course, no matter how much Elliot disliked her, he couldn't decline that she looked like a fine piece of art with tears running down her eyes, an art he had meticulously created by using his brain cells.

”The entire crowd is against you, and I bet that the news about this event will circulate throughout the academy and then this city. No one will socialize with you, and those who do will come with your smile on their faces to hide the dagger behind their backs.” Elliot said in a low but calm voice so that only Linda would hear him clearly, and he said those words to instill a false sense of insecurity in her mind, one that will make her feel paranoid whenever someone comes close to her. I know you're going to drop out and transfer to another academy, but I will make sure to spread words of how you commanded Hurley to sacrifice his life for you through the Internet. After all, humans of both Earth and Xavier deserve to know how great the eldest princess of the third strongest magician family truly is.”

How could Linda not understand the sarcasm in her words?! Someone who actively mind-controlled a person to save her life, once words spread, she will be known to the world as a vicious woman! Not as someone great!

His words poured lava onto her wounds that were already covered with fresh specks of salt, nothing less.
