Chapter 21: Payback (1/2)
Fenon eyed Kadyn and curled his lips at a weird angle. Kadyn noticed his disdainful gaze and frowned. At this moment a few memories of the previous owner appeared inside his head. This man used to bully him often. Last time when Kadyn went to the Tonton river for fishing, it was after this man's abuse and died by drowning.
Kadyn spotted three familiar faces standing behind Fenon. Their countenances gleaming with an arrogant smile. It didn't take long for him to understand the situation. So it seemed behind his beating was none other than Fenon.
”Why are you here?” Kadyn demanded. He had no idea how powerful Fenon was. Even his sidekick—fatty—was a five star elementary mage. He couldn't be worse than him.
Hearing his question, Fenon chuckled. ”I came here to give an offer to your sister. Why don't you persuade her?”
When he said he glared at Kadyn as if trying to intimidate him—if it was old Kadyn he would have been terrified by him, as he had bullied and traumatised him for a long time. Alas, the old Kadyn was gone.
”Oh, what offer?” Kadyn asked with interest.
Fenon frowned when he saw Kadyn's fearless face. He seemed to be unaffected and unintimidated. Furthermore, he dared to ask a question. Still the smile never left his face and replied with a gentle and calm voice. ”I want to take her as my concubine.”
Kadyn was surprised, hearing that. He had read about the concubine, first wife and second wife thing. He never thought this world that was already well developed would have such a tradition.
”In return I will help you find your parents.” Fenon hurriedly added, seeing Kadyn's contemplating look.
Elora turned pale when she heard him. Though she faced many hardships in the magic academy, she never complained about it to her family. Neither she told her parents nor her brother.
Kadyn looked at his sister from the corner of his eyes and found her gritting her teeth and her lips shivering. Afterwards he veered his gaze towards Fenon and replied. ”Sorry, we don't need your help to find our parents. As for taking my sister as your concubine—are you even worthy of caring her shoes?”
”How dare you talk to mister Fenon like this!?” the biggest fatty thundered and extended his arm to grab Kadyn's neck.
”Brother!” Elora shouted. Fenon snorted disdainfully but did not stop his man. Jenna looked at the entire scene with interest and said nothing. However, just when everyone thought Kadyn was in trouble, the change occurred.
Kadyn squatted down and avoided the fatty. The abdominous guy couldn't control his weight and stumbled even further. Kadyn found the advantage and arrived behind his adversary and kicked his calf.
Fatty's knees bent down and he fell on his face. However his nightmare didn't end there. Kadyn placed his knee on his neck and locked his elbow—fatty whimpered in pain and slammed his other hand on the ground again and again, in hope to overcome Kadyn. But every struggle turned out to be futile.
”Leave him!” when Fenon saw his intention to make Kadyn suffer turned into nothing but a big joke, he couldn't hold himself and shouted.
”Stop right there.” Kadyn's icy voice rumbled. ”Or don't blame me if I break his neck by mistake.”
”You dare!?”
”Wanna try?”
Looking into Kadyn's eyes, Fenon for the first time felt as if he was glancing at a completely distinct person. He could not associate this domineering man and previously timid Kadyn. There was no common thing in two except their face.
When Kadyn saw Fenon had stopped. He snorted and turned his attention to the fatty under his knee. Without any deliberation, Kadyn slammed into the back of the man's neck.
”Slap!”
