Chapter 208: Hurt (1/2)
Betrayal. Alex had heard about that before. Seen them in many movies and television series. He even made sure to remember not to get tricked when his master had taught him different things.
Yet he never understood what it felt like to be betrayed. Well… now he had.
Multitudes of emotions were running across Alex. Shock, surprise, pain, anger, and disbelief. He couldn't believe that the person he saved today had not only tried to steal his food, but also tried to kill him.
”A criminal, huh?” Alex said. ”I should have known about this. You guys aren't good people. Some, maybe… but definitely not all of you. Haha”
Alex laughed at himself. ” I was too gullible to have helped you in such an environment. Not only did I helped you, but I also did more than I needed to do, and for that I got back-stabbed. Well, that is a good learning lesson. Thank you for that,” Alex said as he stood up which still holding the cloth to his chest.
”Now, if you would be so kind as to return my food back to me, I might consider letting you go with simple bruises for what you did to me,” Alex said.
”Wha-What? Do you think you can take this from me? Keep dreaming,” Zheng Min said as he turned around and ran as fast as he could.
Alex simply shook his head and dashed forward. With his incredible strength, he crossed a great distance in an instance. In less than 3 instances, he reached Zheng Min and tried to grab him.
Zheng Min blocked with his left hand, and Alex accidentally grabbed the black bag of food. Alex decided to pull the bag out of Zheng Min's hands, but he had a surprisingly good grip.
Unfortunately, the bag wasn't as strong as either of their grips. Right through the middle of the bag, a tear opened up that slowly traveled all over the bag, and before either of them could do anything, the contents of the bag got thrown all over the grasslands.
Alex was scared to see the food get thrown all over the place. This was his only food for the next 2 days and he had now wasted it.
”No, the food,” Zheng Min cried out in shock. He was more horrified at the sight of the foot getting thrown away than Alex was. After all, Zheng Min had to stay here until his punishment was complete, while Alex could leave anytime he wanted.
Alex got angry at the situation. ”You not only betrayed me and tried to kill me, and now you ruin my only supply of food too,” he said angrily through his gnashing teeth. He immediately jumped forward and dropped Zheng Min to the ground.
”You are here for punishment for some crime you committed, right? Let me punish you then,” he said as he stepped on Zheng Min's arm.
”ARRRHHHHH,' loud, painful sound came from Zheng Min's mouth as Alex pressed down on his arm. ”Stop, please stop. NO. I'm sorry, I won't do it again, stop,” he started crying, but Alex didn't lift his leg. Instead, he pressed more.
