43 Flames of Hatred (2/2)

”Hah...Turn around. It would only last for a while. Maybe a month or so.”

Xin Fan slowly turned his back to Huo Ming. As he did so, he could feel every inch of his fibre trying to deny the action. However as much as he tried to avoid it, he still did. Xin Fan could feel the radiating heat from the branding iron coming closer and closer.

*Szzz*

”Ghh”

”Hmm did you say something?”

'Ah!!!'

'Hold it in Xin Fan. No matter what don't scream! Stay Strong!'

Xin Kong's urgent calls rang throughout his head as he attempted to fight off the pain. He could feel the searing pain crawling from his back to swallow him whole.In his mind he repeatedly chanted the mantra's to cut of his senses. Although a portion of the pain was cut off by the empty mind state, He could still feel the pain as strong as if it wasn't even there. Xin Fan grit his teeth as strongly as he could to avoid making sounds. The pain never subsided and kept going on for minutes.

”See? It ain't that bad. It's only the eye after all. After a couple of missions, you would get the full clown? Now go back to the cell.”

Huo Ming left the room with Xin Fan following closely behind. Xin Fan stared at the back of Huo Ming in hate as he internally vowed to take revenge.

'One day...I swear I will force him to a pain beyond measure.'

”Aye Jun Boy Hic...here's your spear.”

Jun Fan stroked his old spear in his hands as he reminisced the old times. For some reason, at that very moment, he could feel the marks on his back tingling slightly. Some may say this is pure coincidence or some may say its a sixth sense.

”Hmm? Why did I feel that? Today...Black Circus would lose a branch again.”

The sun was rising and he slowly made his way to lot 41. He brandished his spear before strapping it comfortably on his back. He started to release years of pent up killing intent as he walked.

”My sister would be sold here right?”

Chilong slapped the boy back in annoyance.

”As we said. Xin Fan comes first, anyone else would come later.”

”Look at all these strange people around here. Are these the so called noble that uncle Xu was talking about?”

”Shh...we need to hid somewhere safe.”

Chilong ran around the lot searching for a hiding spot with a clear view of the auction. Xiao Feng managed to follow albeit, at a slow pace.

'Brother Chitian...is it a good idea to bring him here?'

'I just had a feeling...he may be useful.'
