135 Renege

"What the hell..." The staff was scared shitless that if not for his mental fortitude, he might already have pissed his crotch.

What an unbelievable strength! The staff roamed his vision and found that everything was in a mess because of that single punch. The walls were cracked, the floor created a colossal pit that seemed wanting to compete with a crater, with the lights broken.

A mess! A total mess! He muttered to himself.

"Oops. It seems I broke the punching bag." Jin Rou said as he looked apologetic. "But you said it, right? I will not be held responsible for this."

"What have you done?" The staff whispered to the air as if his strength was sapped out. Soon, he recovered and glared daggers at Jin Rou, "You, do you know what you did?"

"I broke the punching bag? Yes?" Jin Rou looked puzzled.

"Not just that! Looked what you did to the entire building! Every wall have cracks! Things were in a mess here!" The staff lashed out, did not mind what Jin Rou said, "You will pay for all the damaged things here first!"

Although he was scared to the bones of what Jin Rou did, it did not stop him of charging for the damages created. It seemed that he already forgot what he just said a while ago. How could he hold himself responsible for this? Just the punching bag itself had no price value at all since it came from the Royal Castle directly!

This was a priceless item and could not be bought no matter how rich you are.

"You told me that you will not hold me responsible for this. Are you taking back your word now?" Jin Rou frowned. He also looked at the current surroundings and saw the mess he created, the people who were looking at him with terrified expressions and such. However, as the other party said it, Jin Rou found it displeasing when this staff immediately went back to his word when all the deed were done and the damages appeared.

In actuality, the staff just blindly agreed because he thought that Jin Rou could not create such scenarios. In fact, even the other sectmasters present who went to take the exam sneered in disdain when they heard Jin Rou saying it. Who would have thought that he could really break the unbreakable punching bag that lasted for almost two hundred years?

"Did I say that?" The staff feigned ignorance and said, "Don't spout nonsense! Everyone, did I say something like that?" He looked at the spectators. They immediately got what he was trying to say and said in unison, "No! That young man is a liar!"

"You are reneging what you said because you are a coward who could not handle this situation? How cowardice." Jin Rou revealed a killing intent and said, "Should I make you confess or you will confess?" Glaring sharp daggers to the staff. Jin Rou hates it when people renege on their words.

The staff felt being paled by the sharp daggers as he felt himself tremble from fear. He already witnessed the might of Jin Rou and knew he was not a match. However, he firmly believed that with the Royal Castle backing him up, this young man would not dare to act rashly in their own territory!

The staff steeled himself and said, "So what now? You are in the territory of the Royal Castle. Don't be rash and just pay up the damages and all is well!"

"So what if I am in your territory?" Jin Rou was not intimidated by the name of the Royal Castle a bit, "I am not paying anything since you said I will not be held responsible for it. And that's not up for negotiations."

"You!" The staff's veins bulged as he pointed his finger towards Jin Rou in anger, "You are belittling, the Royal Castle, just because you have the power to break that? Hah. You think you are only the one who could do that? There were people in the Royal Castle who can do that also so don't think you are quite invincible here!" He declared though he was also not sure himself whether there were people capable of doing so. But since the Royal Castle was the proclaimed overlord of this world, it is not impossible.

"Why don't you call those capable people out then?" Jin Rou was already in the foul mood. And this staff blabbered too much.

The staff wanted to say something, however, an old man appeared in front of him and said to Jin Rou, "Gum Yu, enough. You will just bring more shame here."

This was the old man a while ago. —Jin Rou thought. And looking by the expression of the staff named Gum Yu, he was his superior. Gum Yu glared to Jin Rou but did not say anything else. But he had a smirk on his face as if his victory was already in the bag.

"I am the leader of this Royal Castle Search-1, you can call me Old Za. It seems we have a bit of misunderstanding here?" Old Za said in an amicable tone.

"Yes, before I punch the bag, I told him that I should not be held responsible for whatever happened. But after the deed was done, he suddenly reneged." Jin Rou summarized the events.

"Ohh." Old Za revealed an amused expression and glared at Gum Yu, "Is that true, Gum Yu?"

"That's..." Gum Yu looked like he could not say it so Old Za interrupted him, "I already know the answer just by your expression." He then looked at Jin Rou with a smile and said, "This friend here, since you break the punching bag, it meant that you have the raw power that exceeds 1000T which is very fascinating, so you are now qualified to take the exam."

This made Jin Rou smile, but then Old Za continued, "However, looking at the current damages especially the now-gone punching bag which treasured by the Royal Castle, my branch will suffer a tremendous, no, unimaginable loss."

"What are you trying to say?" Jin Rou frowned in displeasure.

"Well, —" Old Za was about to say something when an enticing and familiar voice of a lady said with full of arrogance,

"You need to pay. You got a problem with it?"
