Chapter 50: Whats going on here?!! (1/2)

”Hey, hey, old man.” Kadyn jumped on the stage from behind Elora and stared at the arrogant old fogey. ”Are you trying to scare a little girl, huh?” he said. ”Would you mind talking to her brother?”

Everyone gaped at him, including the old man and his two companions—the old man was silent for a sec, then asked. ”You are Kadyn?”

”So what, I am?” Kadyn said, a little annoyed by his arrogant posing. You seem to be suffering from malnourishment. What are you posing for, hmm? He thought.

”That's good,” he said. ”You need to come with me.”

”What if I don't want to go with you?” Kadyn curled his lips and folded his hands on his chest and looked below at the old man as if the emperor was looking down on his subordinate. An annoyed look appeared on the old man's face. No one dared to scorn at him. He was the mighty member of the Magic Association and high-ranking member at that. His anger flared, but he clenched his fist and took a deep breath. He had come here for a purpose.

I will let you experience despair and torment later. He thought.

”Yo-you thief!” before that fragile looking old man could reply, a shout came from among the audience. A man sprang from his seat and pointed at Kadyn. ”You thief, return my possession!”

Kadyn peered at the man, and his lips curled into a weird angle. Who'd have thought you'll send yourself to me this easily? He thought and said. ”What are you shouting for?”

The man didn't stay in his seat and rushed towards the stage amidst the crowd. ”You still dare to ask the reason, you bastard!?” his shout reverberated in the entire hall that made Kadyn frown. How shameless and disgusting and ungrateful can someone be? This was a living example.

Kadyn had saved his life, but he tried to kill him in return. Though he failed in the end, Kadyn took his spoils—that he had taken after killing his own companion—and escaped with the help of shop teleportation. But this guy...too shameless.

The man turned towards the old man and clasped his hands and bowed, with a sobbing face. ”My Lord, this kid had deceived me. I have helped and saved his life. But in return he killed my companion when we were sleeping and injured me heavily and robbed my hundred magic stones before escaping. I was injured so I could not chase after him. Who could have thought that this shameless kid was the owner of this place? He must have built it with the help of my money!”

The audience gasped. 100 magic stones! That was a huge sum, even for a wealthy noble. Much less to the commoner. What kind of dogshit luck one would need to get that many stones in some random cave? However in the end he lost his valuables, filling him with resentment. Audience gloated at his misery.

”Is that true?” the old man gave a hard look to that man.

”Ye-yes, My Lord. I wouldn't dare to lie in front of you.” He stammered and lowered his head.

”You bastard! I saved your life, and it was you who killed your companion, and that bag was stuffed with trash herbs!” Kadyn roared when he heard the accusation. However, immediately realising that he made a terrible blunder. He shouldn't have spoken at all. He was just too young and rash and inexperienced. He didn't think before speaking.
