29 Diabolical Darius (2/2)
Darius stood up and started backing away. ”What? Pfft, I don't know what you are talking about, old man. I'm pretty sure I screamed in agony. I'm a real big baby when it comes to pain.”
The old man stood up while vigorously pointing at Darius. ”Being able to do ten thousand strikes a day is evidence of being able to handle the most mundane of tasks. When I first saw you at the Smitersmith guild, I knew you were special.
Darius vigorously shook his head. ”I actually get very bored very easily. In fact, sometimes I get so bored that I feel like dying would be much better. Wait, how do you know all this? Have you been stalking me, old man?”
The old man closely followed Darius with each word. ”I've heard of how shameless you are, kneeling in front of someone in public without hesitation. Such shamelessness is incredible!”
Darius kept backing away with each word. ”What? I am very shy. For every affront I receive, I will learn that man's name and gain vengeance for my honor… or was it my peace of mind? Either way, it doesn't matter. The point is that I was super affected by kneeling to the point where I thought I would vomit blood. Oh, the shame! Oh, the agony! I was just planning my revenge!”
Darius tried to feign a distressed face and had there been true actors here, they would have surely clapped their hands. Unfortunately, his only spectator was not fooled.
”Bah! You can't fool this old man, not again. I know what you can do, young man, and I will bring the best out of you. This will be a night you will never forget.”
”Ah, please don't do this!” Darius pleaded with his back trapped against the wall.
The old man laughed; he wasn't quite sure what Darius was so scared of, but he decided to clarify things later. Seeing Darius like this right now was too amusing. ”I will do as I see fit. It must happen!”
”No, it doesn't have to!”
”It must!”
”Do not do this! It's not fit for your station!”
”I will do it.”
”It can't happen!”
”It will happen!”
”Please don't **** me!”
”Haha, I will ra-...” The old man paused. After noticing the oddly small distance between the two, his creepy demeanor, and that Darius was trembling with his back against the wall, the old man's forehead broke into a cold sweat!
