98 Going Back on Words (2/2)
Edgar crashed on a tree some distance away from the road.
”Damn!” Edgar's eyes turned wide as he saw Kaden's blade-like scales striking towards his legs. He gritted his teeth and opened his mouth.
BOOOM
Green sonic-like waves came out from his throat and bounced towards Kaden. Kaden was unfazed as he dodged them by jumping up high in the sky.
”Rich brats truly lack experience,” Kaden smirked as he controlled his body in the air and somersaulted over the tree.
Edgar turned his body to move away from the tree but it was already too late.
SLICE~
Kaden's blade-scaled covered hand sliced apart Edgar's right knee.As the leg was torn apart, blood flew out like a fountain.
”Ahhhhh!” Edgar screamed.
He covered his right leg with his hands to stop the blood loss while trying to fight over the pain which was numbing all his senses.
”I was supposed to sever your both legs,” Kaden slowly moved forward and said, ”Give me another chance.”
”Noo!” Edgar stood up on his remaining leg and backed away. His body wasn't accustomed to a single leg so his movement was shaky.
CRASH!
Just after taking a few steps, he fell on the ground after losing balance.
”Urghh!” Edgar didn't let the new pain stop him. He tried to stand up again but then he heard a mocking laughter from behind.
”Your body is not balanced which is why you fell,” Kader slowly said with a laughter, ”so allow me to help you.”
”Nooo!” Edgar's heart palpitated violently. His pupils dilated to the size of a needle as he felt a blade slicing apart his other leg.
”AAHHHHHHHH!” Along with terrible shrieks, his mouth also released blood and foam. The blood loss and the heart-wrenching pain made him lose consciousness in a few moments.
”Join your friends,” Kaden dragged Edgar back on the road. The rest of Edgar's friends were in similar condition but for better or worse, they were conscious.
”Cough!” Loren threw up. Just seeing their crippled state made butterflies run inside her stomach.
She couldn't imagine the pain and suffering they were undergoing after having their legs severed.
”Are you all right?” Jessica supported Loren as she was throwing up at the side of the road.
Jessica was also nervous but in a better state than Loren. She has seen her fair share of blood and gore when she worked for Irina.
”I'm alright,” Loren said.
”Here,” Zed's voice entered her ears. Surprised, she turned back and saw Zed with a water bottle.
”Thanks,” Loren absent mindedly grasped the bottle and took a mouthful of water to rinse her mouth.
She couldn't understand how he can be so relaxed and smile as if everything was a game.
Is he truly the same guy Felicity always complained about for not having thrill!?
”We have done our part of the deal,” Kaden's voice came from behind, ”Now it is time you fulfill your part.”
”Well done,” Zed turned around and said, ”But I don't feel like paying you.”
”What?!”
Kaden, Jessica, Loren, and others were startled.
”You are going back on your commitment?” Kaden was incensed.
