28 Entering the snake’s den (1/2)

Leon's eyes easily traveled through the darkness and locked onto the culprit who accidentally exposed himself.

”T-This... great lord, I was just passing by... didn't see anything...” Thorpe tried to explain himself with cold sweat.

Leon's glare was very chilling and piercing, making his heart go cold. When Leon realized who it was, he smiled.

'I planned to look for your gang and yet you came to me.' He thought.

”You came at the right time. How about a little spar?” Leon said with a smile.

Although the other party was smiling, Thorpe felt colder.

”Great lord, please spare me. Your power is too mighty. I fear my frail body would just snap at the slightest pressure exerted by you.” Thorpe didn't dare to spar with Leon. Looking at the web-like cracks in the trees, it would be like asking for death.

”You have no right to refuse.” Leon did not take no for an answer. Lina was now considered his friend, so he didn't like Thorpe after what he tried to do. He felt he had let him off too easy last time.

But he would not kill him yet. Thorpe still had some uses and Leon wasn't a cold-blooded killer yet. He had only ever killed spirit beasts in his past life. No human lives had been taken, only saved. His father and him have saved many with their medical skill, including other Divine Kings. Yet they plotted against them, father and son. Hmph! To bite the hand that fed them. Leon would rest until they meet their just ends.

”Is there no other way?”

”None.”

Having said that, Leon dashed forward and rain down a volley of blows on Thorpe. Although, Leon had suppressed most of his strength, Thorpe was still unable to fight back and ended up suffering a beating.

”Ahh... mercy...”

Leon didn't have much experience in fighting humans and wanted to gain some experience by fighting Thorpe, but the thug was too weak and had no will to fight.

Why would he bother fighting when the result would be the same? It was better to surrender early to minimize his suffering.

He couldn't get what he wanted but he still felt pretty good beating someone up. It was like the anger suppressed deep within himself finally had an outlet. It wasn't good to keep his feelings bottled up inside forever. His resolve to avenge his father would not be affected either so it was good to beat up some thugs.

It also aligns with his objective of taking over the underworld. They would not submit easily. It was best to beat them into submission first.

”If you take me to your gang's headquarters, I can find someone else to spar with and you would not need to suffer further.” Leon suggested. He thought the thug would give in easily, but he had more backbone than he thought.

”No way.” Thorpe refused without hesitation.

”Are you not afraid I will kill you refuse?”

”You can kill me if you want. If I expose our secret headquarters, then brother Snake will definitely kill me anyway. If I must die either way, why would I help outsiders and sell out my own brothers?” Thorpe was resolute.

Being part of the underworld and doing shady crimes, they were prepared to be killed in their line of business at any given moment.

”Death is easy but living is hard. I can make you wish for death but not have it. Do you believe me?” Leon was prepared to torture Thorpe into submission.

He did not trust people like Thorpe who likes to indulge in benefits at the expense of others. Claiming protection money, free dining, violence and attempted ****. He had already seen quite a few actions that would earn his displeasure from the Black Snake Gang. Who knew what else they do behind the scenes?
