41 Watch Me Help Them (2/2)

”Let's begin.” Elidia said, and waved her hand. Arnin didn't move and just smiled.

”Let's wait for Kurse first. I will help them together.” Arnin said as he walked towards Torne and sat down on ground. The crowd was confused, however they felt something was going to happen so they decided to stick around. Their senses were much higher than Elidia, so they knew Arnin that was up to something. Surk smirked when he heard what Arnin said. He also felt Arnin was going to do something, however he wasn't going to interfere. It wasn't his business.

Ten minutes passed and Arnin saw Kurse running back with unstable breathing. It seemed like he rushed back, causing him to become extremely tired.

”He is here now, so set them free now.” Elidia looked at Arnin with a look of superiority. She felt that she now had the upper hand in this. She was extremely happy.

Arnin suddenly vanished from his position and grabbed onto Elidia's hands. ”W-what are you doing?! Let go!” Elidia struggled, however Arnin didn't let her escape. He began to insert his threads into her body and started to numb her legs and arms. Now she couldn't move or do anything.

Surk saw all of this happen and felt a little displeased. ”Arnin, although this is none of my business, what are you doing?” He didn't care what would happen to Torne and Kurse, however he still felt uneasy with Arnin hurting little Elidia in the library and in front of him.

”Just watch and see. If you dare to interfere, I will kill you!” Arnin smiled towards Surk, however his eyes were cold and deadly.

Surk shut his mouth right away and didn't say anything more. Although he was stronger than Arnin, he felt that if he fought him, things would not turn out well. The crowd saw that Surk wasn't doing anything, so they also stayed behind and watched. If someone strong like Surk didn't have the courage to go up and stop him, then why would they?

”Arnin! Let me go!” Elidia could only yell at Arnin since her body was basically paralyzed. The latter smirked before walking towards Torne.

”I said that I would help them, not free them.” Arnin lifted Torne up from the throat and dragged him towards the desk. ”Watch carefully, little girl. Remember, you caused this.” Arnin smiled before suddenly slamming Torne's face onto the lower portion of the desk.

”ARG! AHH!” Torne screamed out in agony as his face began to bruise and bleed. Elidida watched the horrifying scene with fear. Her eyes began to tear up a little.

”Arnin, stop it! He didn't do anything.” She spoke chokingly, however Arnin only smiled towards her.

”These two didn't get onto their knees when I said so. As slave and servant, they didn't obey their master, so a punishment must be carried out.” Arnin then slammed Torne's face once more on the desk. Torne fell onto the ground, unconscious. Arnin smiled before walking towards Kurse.

”Master, please, I won't do it again.” Kurse got onto his knees and began to move back with a frightened face. Surk stood by and did nothing to prevent this. Although he felt guilty, he couldn't do anything about this.

”Arnin, it's not their fault. Let them go.” Elidia panicked when she saw Torne laying on the ground unconscious. She was feeling extremely guilty since she was the one who guaranteed their freedom. ”I will tell Lilise if you continue to do this.” Elidia was depending on her sister as her last hope. It seemed that Arnin cared about Lilise, which was why he sent her away.

”Don't get me wrong, but I don't care if you tell Lilise, or anybody for that matter. I only sent her away because it could affect her cultivation, and she is my sister's friend. Other than that, I could care less about how she feels.” Arnin spoke coldly. Elidia began to regret her decision to confront Arnin. Even if she closed her eyes, she could hear the screams. This was going to become something that would ruin her future.

”If you are worried about your cultivation, then don't be. I was told to help you, so I will. I will make sure your cultivation doesn't stagnate, but you are going to have to watch all of this. Haha!” Arnin slightly laughed before kicking Kurse's face. He then lifted him by his neck and slammed his face against the desk wall.

”ARH! PLEASE! ARG!” The screams caused everyone to shiver and look at Arnin with fear. There was also some hatred in their eyes. They couldn't understand why Arnin was treating them like this.

Surk couldn't help it anymore and walked towards Arnin. ”Arnin, that is enough! Let them go!” He released his aura of a Essence Manifest - Sky realm cultivator.

”Enough? Well, that's for me to decide.” Arnin smiled and released his own aura. Although it was of Orb Birth - Sky, the sinister feeling was domineering and suppressing.

”If you set them free, I will give you ten academy points. Is that a deal?” Surk didn't want to fight Arnin, however he didn't feel right watching all of this happen. He initially didn't want to interfere, but he never expected things would get this bad. He thought that at most, an argument would happen, but not such extreme violence.

”Academy points? What's their use?” Arnin looked at Surk as his left hand held onto the back collar of Kurse's robe. The latter's face was completely swollen, while blood leaked out of his mouth. However, the rest of his body was fine. Arnin made sure that he could still move around so that he could get things done for him.

”Academy points are the currency used in the academy. You can use them to get access to higher floors in the academy, buy weapons, and much more.” Arnin pondered as he dropped Kurse onto the ground. His knuckles were covered in blood so when he brought them up to his face, it looked very weird.

”What can I do with ten points? Is that a lot?” If he was going to spare his people, then he wanted something good for it. If ten points were too little, he was going to ask for more.

”With ten points, you are able to buy at least five cultivation stones, you can access the third floor for two days, or you could even get yourself a low-level weapon.” Surk explained the different things he could get, attempting to entice Arnin.

”I will spare them, however you need to give me a total of twenty points. Any less, and I will continue to beat them until they only have one breath left.” Arnin asked for ten more points. If he could get so many things with just ten, then he want to double that. If he asked for triple, he felt that the other party might just fight it out with him.

Surk hesitated before painfully agreeing. ”Give me your ID card and I will transfer the twenty points.” Arnin tossed him his card and walked towards the sphere where the information would be shown. A few moments later, he saw a section that said [Academy Points: 0] turn into [Academy Points: 20]. Arnin felt happy and took back his card.

”Good doing business with you.” Arnin smiled before kicking Torne and Kurse in their stomachs and walking out the library. Before he left, he freed Elidia and dragged her with him.

Surk gritted his teeth when he saw Arnin kick the two before he left. 'Shameless, even after we had a deal.' However, he calmed himself down and had the crowd take Torne and Kurse to the medical department.

The mysterious figure sat on the clouds and laughed while holding his (Author note: Only using his for now, gender still unknown) stomach.

”Hahaha! Great, this is great! The great Demon Lord is truly a despicable bastard, even hurting such little kids. Haha!” The mysterious figure continued to laugh with a hard to distinguish voice.
