Chapter 424: The Notorious Butcher Appears! (1/2)
”You seem to have a very big problem on your hands right now, young man.” The cloaked lady known as Gwen Landor said towards the prime orchestrator of this drama.
”This is because of your appearance, Lady Gwen. Not mine.” Jake retorted with a smart one.
Alas, it did not work on the lady who was up there in the air with no use of any wings whatsoever. Gwen Landor shrugged before she uttered her reply.
”I have nothing to lose in this world and even if the Lord of Astro banish me from his lands, I highly doubt that he would be capable of barring my entrance for long.”
There was an obvious smile on Gwen Landor's words.
”While you, however, have much at stake in staying here. I hear that the Final Assessment is coming soon. I wonder how your parents will react once they know of this little affair of yours.”
Gwen Landor continued to add salt to the wounds.
'Bitch!' Jake Hansen could only curse the cloaked lady in his thoughts. In the end, he decided to act fast before things got out of hand quickly.
”I need your help, Uncle Ivan.” Jake whispered in a low voice and his body turned rigid in the next moments.
He was fully expecting something to happen to him and he was not disappointed at all in his calculated guess.
”PAK!” An unseen slap arrived mercilessly on the face of Jake Hansen. Flesh and blood watered the earth and one eyeball rolled at the crowded streets.
It was obvious that there was much traffic caused by this event already. It was only odd to see no panic in the hearts of the people.
The audience just stood there as if they were gripped by some unknown power at the moment.
They could think and scream inside their minds all they wanted but they could never move a finger, much less run away from this circle of power.
It was clear that something very mysterious and powerful was at play here.
”Did i not tell you not to disturb me and my experiments, boy?”
”Or do you want to volunteer and become one of my test subjects?”
”I would love to take my time with you. Dissect you like a frog and study your flesh and blood until there's nothing left for me to use.”
An extremely unkempt man said after he taught Jake Hansen a hard lesson about proper etiquette.
This man had long dirty black hair and a butcher's apron which appeared to be wet with blood and other gory materials.
Below the man's feet were jagged lines and symbols that occupied at least 1 mile in all directions.
From the skyline, it was amazing to see a vast forbidden art that took the shape of a perfect circle with this man called Ivan at the center of this impressive formation.
”It was not totally my fault, uncle. If not for...” Jake Hansen tried to shift the blame towards the woman in brown cloak overhead but same as the last, he was met by another heavy hand.
”PAK!” The only remaining eyeball shattered into liquid paste that left our poor Jake Hansen blind in the spot.
Ivan did not even move at all but it was shocking to see a perfect replica of himself, standing over the fallen figure of Jake Hansen.
The replica vanished in the next breath but the damage had already been done towards the real victim in this very eventful Friday afternoon.
”...” It was also at this time when Jake Hansen decided to say no more. There was nothing he could say or do that could assuage the great vehemence that his uncle Ivan personified in full.
Jaken Hansen stood up and his wounds were visibly healing at a slow pace. It would take him a few hours before he could fully regenerate the missing eyeballs on its sockets.
”Well... well... At least I can see some good results in my coming.”
”It's a pleasure to be in your presence, Lady Gwen.”
