41 Watch Me Help Them (1/2)

Arnin slowly walked towards the group. His eyes twinkled with an evil light. Elidia was dumbfounded by Arnin's actions.

'What did he mean he will show everyone?' She looked at Arnin with some confusion. Torne and Kurse noticed Arnin staring at them after he said those words. They began to feel frightened and felt a chill run down their spine.

”Get on your knees. Why are you standing without my permission?” Arnin stared at the two with a smile. His voice sounded demonic, causing the group to shiver uncontrollably. Even Surk felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Elidia looked at Arnin with some hatred. ”Didn't you hear what I said? I don't want them to be your servant or slave anymore. Set them free.” Elidia was still feeling somewhat annoyed that she trembled for no reason. 'What heck was that?'

Arnin turned his head and looked at Elidia with a casual glance. He then turned his head towards the reserved Lilise. ”Lilise, tell your sister to be quiet.” Arnin spoke with some annoyance. Lilise trembled slightly when she heard him. She looked at Arnin and couldn't help but feel some somewhat nervous. The feeling he was giving off was very similar to the one he gave off when he broke through at her house, sinister and cold.

”Who do you think you are, Arnin? Just because my grandpa likes you doesn't mean that I have to like you too. You are younger than me, so show me some respect.” Elidia was extremely annoyed. She disliked Arnin because of the things he did, and now she wanted to get some revenge, however she was being treated like a speck of dust.

”Lilise, tell her to quiet down.” Arnin said once more. This time, there was some force in his words that caused Lilise to tremble with fear. Her eyes began to tear up slightly because of the aura that Arnin was releasing. It was too frightening.

”You little…! Stop talking like you are an adult. Lilise, don't listen to him.” Elidia's eyes were burning with flames. She was pissed off because of the way Arnin spoke to her.

Arnin noticed that Lilise wasn't going to do anything so he just ignored the two girls. He then stared at Torne and Kurse, who were still standing in front of him.

”Did you two not hear me? Get on your knees, I haven't given you the permission to stand.” The two looked at Arnin with some fear. They couldn't do anything to him because of the marks on their body. They could only look at Elidia with some helplessness.

”Arnin, stop commanding them! Release the contract…” Before she could finish, Torne and Kurse fell to the ground. They were shaking and their eyes were showing large amounts of fear.

”Since you won't listen to your master, I think another lesson should be given to you guys.” Arnin walked forward towards the seizuring Kurse first. He squatted down and stared deeply into his eyes.

”So unfortunate. I treated you quite well today. You even got a Mark Master Assistant token because of me. Is this how you are going to repay me?” Arnin shook his head before getting up and walking towards Torne, whose condition was even worse than Kurse's.

”And you, I gave you a beating just today, yet you still don't understand your place. I was going to give you the cultivation manual as a reward for hard work, but it seems you like beatings, you masochist.” Arnin smiled while he spoke. Elidia saw the two people on the ground and couldn't help but feel enraged and worried.

”Arnin, what the heck did you do? Why are you hurting them?” Elidia walked towards Arnin and glared into his cold eyes. Lilise was also somewhat upset because of Arnin's actions.

”Why are you hurting them? They just want their freedom.” Lilise spoke in a mouse like voice. She didn't look at Arnin and only stared at the ground.

Arnin looked at the two girls and began to feel somewhat irritated. ”The two of you are really getting on my nerves. I gave you a house to cultivate in, so why the hell are you guys here?” Arnin glared at the both of them. He had showed some kindness because of Lilise's relationship with Nekaia, however he didn't care anymore.

”We are here because you are not a good person. You will set them free, or else I will tell my grandpa.” Elidia trembled under Arnin's glare, however this made her even more mad.

Surk stood behind and watched this with some pleasure. He wished to have something to eat so he could more thoroughly enjoy the scene in front of him. A crowd slowly began to gather to see what was happening.

Arnin pushed Elidia aside and walked towards Kurse once more. He lifted him up from his throat, however he couldn't make him dangle in the air because of his size. ”You say I am not a good person? Well, let me show you how good I am.” Arnin smirked before dragging Kurse towards the front desk.

”What are you doing? Let him go!” Elidia was enraged and was beginning to feel even more worried. 'This is not going well. Why isn't he listening to me.' She quickly turned around and looked at Lilise. She thought that Lilise could possibly change his mind.

”Lilise, tell him to stop, or things might go bad for these two.” Elidia spoke with seriousness. Lilise didn't know what to say. She already tried to stop him with a mouse like voice, however she was ignored.

”I will try.” Lilise nodded and thought that Arnin might not have heard her. She walked towards Arnin and stood in front of him.

”What?” Arnin looked at Lilise with a smile. Lilise took it as he would listen to her, so she gained some confidence.

”Can you let them go? They are good people and I know you are good too, so can you set them free?” She looked at him with some hope. Arnin didn't change his expression, however he dropped Kurse to the ground. Right when he hit the ground, Kurse stopped shaking. He looked at Lilise with some gratefulness, however he still held a lot of fear towards Arnin.

”Kurse, take Lilise back to her house, then come right back.” Arnin glared at Kurse. He hesitated for a moment before wobbling towards Lilise.

”Here, you go home first. He won't be my servant anymore when he comes back, however I need you to go home first. Your sister can stay here to make sure everything is alright.” Arnin smiled wickedly towards Lilise, who took the smile as something warm. She nodded her head and walked away with Kurse.

Elidia looked at Arnin with some anger. ”Hurry up and free this senior then. You already promised that to Lilise, or should I call her again?” Elidia spoke with some arrogance and made sure to mention Lilise. She thought that Lilise might be Arnin's weakness, however that thought couldn't be anything but wrong.

Arnin waited until Lilise was out of sight. Although he didn't care much about Lilise, she was still friends with his sister, so he would try to make things easier for her, albeit only a little.

”Surk, would you mind grabbing me a chair?” Arnin turned around and asked Surk with a smile. The latter shivered at the smile before asking with some confusion.

”Why do you need a chair?” He wasn't sure why Arnin would need something like a chair.

”You will know once you get me one.” Arnin smiled even more sinisterly. Surk thought for a moment before grabbing a chair from behind the circular front desk. Arnin took the chair and placed it opposite to the crowd.

”Elidia, sit here. You can sit down and watch as I help Torne.” Arnin smiled towards Elidia. The latter felt that Arnin was finally showing her due respect, and so she sat down on the chair with an air of arrogance
