Chapter 169 This is not a negotiation

"Why are you helping a Valier, I thought that your family and their's are at odds with each other?" Ren wasn't pressured one bit by the people surrounding him as he asked his question.

"Why should I tell an outsider like you?" Kite answered with a glare.

"An outsider," Ren then flashed the medallion given to him by Lance. When Kite saw the medallion his look hardened a bit.

"Oh, so you're that commoner friend my nephew is playing with. You might think that makes you part of this, but it does not."

"Alright then, so what are you going to do? I want him dead and you and this lot can't do anything about it?" Ren was thinking in what way should he knock out these men. Even though they are opposing him they are still part of his disciple's men. Also, they aren't strong enough for him to have a fun fight.

"Apprehend them!" Hearing Kite's command the men that surrounded Ren and Silika cautiously tightened the encirclement.

"Apprehend?! I want him dead, and I want the girl!" Simon shouted at the top of his lungs. This time an even bigger crowd gathered as they watch everything play out.

Kite glared at Simon which made him shut up.

"Silika can you take care of them?"

"Sure, but don't you want to fight them?"

"They're too weak for me to enjoy and I'm getting a bit pissed off. So just knock them out and don't kill them."

The men surrounding Ren and Silika were angered by the conversation the two had right in front of them. The two weren't even registering them as a threat, they were treating them as a joke. The group was about to attack when they suddenly felt a heavy pressure come down on them.

Silika targeted the men using the pressure of her mana. The men couldn't handle the pressure and most of them fainted, while some of the stronger ones were puking on the ground.

Kite was surprised to see what happened, and Simon was about ready to run away in fear, yet his feet were not able to move. Ren was approaching them when someone else appeared with another group of people.

When Ren saw the group coming near he was getting even more irritated. Simon also saw the group and shouted in joy.

"Father!" The moment Ren heard what Simon said he got really angry. Ren unleashed a portion of his mana and used the aura alone to place pressure on everyone related to the incident. Kite, Simon and the newly arrived group all knelt because of the heavy pressure that assaulted them.

The people at the side were confused as to what they were seeing. The group of people with the Restetis and the Valiers suddenly knelt on the ground, while Ren and Silika remained standing.

...

The Earl and current Patriarch of the Valier family, Cedric Valier rushed towards the city after learning that his son was in trouble. He brought the most elite of his men to subdue whoever dared mess with them. Yet the moment Cedric heard his son's voice he felt an immense pressure fall upon him.

He tried to gather his mana to strengthen his body so that he could stand up, but that didn't do a thing. He then looked at the men he brought, even the Saint rank swordsman, and the advanced level mage were unable to move. As he was trying to process what was happening he saw an average-looking young man approach him.

"Hey, how many more of you are coming? You're the father of this piece of sh*t right? Then is his grandfather going to come next? Then after that is his great-grandfather going to come next?! How many more of you people are going to come?! I was in such a good mood, and I just felt like rescuing the woman over there. I was even expecting a good fight from those three bodyguards, but your son had to be the most idiotic pile of trash to have ever lived!"

Cedric couldn't understand most of what Ren was saying, but he knew one thing, Ren was the person who was messing with his son. It was also obvious that it was Ren who was pressuring everyone to kneel on the ground.

'What kind of monster have you provoked?' Cedric looked at his son who was on the ground crying and even peeing. Seeing how pathetic his son was made Cedric feel extremely disappointed. If that wasn't his only son he would've abandoned him long ago.

"So are more of you going to come?" Ren asked full of irritation.

Cedric felt the pressure on him lighten, enough for him to answer "Why are you asking?"

"Because every time I'm about to rip off your son's genitalia someone comes to disrupt me. If more of you are coming, I want to know so that I can wait until all of you are here, before doing anything. Once every one of you arrives, I'll proceed to gouge out your son's eyes, cut off his tongue, and then rip off his genitalia, once that's done I'll heal him, so that he could suffer until the end of his days. So are any more of you coming?"

When Cedric heard what Ren wanted to do, he thought that this person in front of him was insane.

"If you do that, you will forever become the enemy of the Valiers."

"Then I'll just kill your entire family," Ren answered so nonchalantly that Cedric was unsure if he heard right.

"Did you say, that you'll kill my entire family?"

"Are you deaf? Yes, that's what I said. Oh, do you think I can't do it?" Ren then unleashed the full extent of his current mana and showed it to Cedric for a second.

...

It was only a short while, but Cedric was amazed by what happened. He didn't have the ability to see mana, but for a brief moment when Ren unleashed the full extent of his mana, Cedric thought he saw his entire view being blocked by a powerful force. While he was amazed by what he saw, he didn't fully comprehend what it meant, until he saw the reaction of the advanced level mage he brought.

The advanced level mage who was kneeling on the ground the same as all of them was now looking pale while vomiting. His whole body was trembling as he started to cry. Cedric knew at that point that Ren wasn't kidding when he said that he could kill his whole family.

"Still think I can't kill your entire family?"

Cedric gnashed his teeth, "If you kill my family, the family of an Earl, you will become the enemy of the kingdom."

"So you don't know, I'm already an enemy of the kingdom of Reschbauch."

Cedric didn't understand what Ren meant when he said he was already an enemy of the kingdom, but he knew that threatening Ren wasn't going to work.

"What can I do for you to spare my family?" Cedric no longer had a choice. Clinging to his pride won't save his family from this monster.

"Wow, how quick you are to change your tune. I admire you for that... Alright, I won't kill your entire family since you didn't really do anything yet. But you must hand me your son willingly so that I can give him his punishment."

When Cedric heard what Ren said he frowned. Simon, on the other hand, started to cry even harder as he used every ounce of his courage to shout at his father.

"Father, save me!"

"There must be another way. I can give you anything else you want aside from that."

Ren scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. "I think there is a misunderstanding here. I'm not negotiating with you, I'm giving you a chance. Either you give me your son with your consent and I'll spare your family from annihilation, or you don't give me your son and I take him by force and kill your whole family."

Hearing the cruel words Ren spoke, Cedric gritted his teeth.

"You won't kill him right?"

"No, I already said what I'll do to him."

"Very well then, take my son." Cedric clenched his fist in frustration knowing that he couldn't do anything.

"Father! NOOO! Don't do this father! Save me please!" Simon shouted and shouted but Cedric didn't even bother to look at him.

When Ren was about to gouge out Simon's eye someone once again interrupted.

"What's going on here?"

"For f*cks sake!S" Ren shouted full of anger and irritation.
