4 The Bandits

When Tian reached home his grandmother has already been waiting for him to have dinner.

"Where have you been Tian, the food is still hot, come lets have dinner."

Tian was thinking about the bandits that he heard when coming home. He didn't want there to be any disturbances near her grandmother, no matter how small it is.

"I must get rid of them tonight.", Tian has been planning in his heart on how to deal with the bandits. Although he had great strength, he might not be able to deal with them right now. He was thinking of other ways to deal with them.

"Oh right, i forgot to tell you that your school will Start from next week. You have only few days, lets go and buy you some new clothes tommorow."

Tian suddenly remembered that he was still a 15 year old kid and have to attend to school soon. His heart ached knowing that he won't get much rest after he starts attending the school.

Tain went to bed after his meal, but he didn't sleep. He was concocting some pills from the extra herbs that he brought yesterday. He bought a new electric cooker, after yesterday's explosion he thought it'd be best if he didn't enter the kitchen anytime soon or else he might cause his grandmother to panic. After exhausting himself for two hours, he finally completed the pills and took some rest.

It was 1 past midnight, Tian woke up and silently slipped out through the window. If someone were to see this they would be thoroughly shocked, a 15 year old kid was jumping from 1st floor as if he was stepping down the stairs.

Tian went along the path that the villagers were talking about and found some trails that no other person could notice. He followed the trails and reached a wornout wooden cabin. He silently approached the window and saw six people sleeping inside with some knives by their side.

He jumped in like a cat and quickly approached the a person who looked like the strongest among the six and immediately slipped a pill into throat.

The Bandit immediately coughed a few times and woke up. When see saw a little kid in front of him, he was startled. "Who the hell is this kid and how did he get here!?". The other bandits immediately woke up and realized someone has broken into their cabin.

"Kid who are you? How did you get in here? Answer me you brat."

One of the bandits immediately went forward and tried to grab the collar of Tian, but before he could do so he was flying back and hit the wall. He was shocked. How can a kid be so strong, he suddenly felt something slip through his throat.

"Brothers attack him, he seems a bit stronger than me. Don't underestimate him."

Immediately all the bandits pounced onto him. Tain quickly got out of their attacks and attacked them. Two of the bandits were sent flying while the others were able to successfully land a hit on him. Tain took a few steps back. A drop of blood dripped from the side of his lips.

The bandits saw him clear the blood with his hand. Tian gave a sinister smile, which sent a chill down the spine of the bandits. Before the bandits know what was happening all of them had already swallowed the pills from Tian.

"Kid, who the hell are you. You might be strong but you won't be able to escape with your life tonight. Tell us what you are here for and we might just break your arms and spare your life."

Although they were bandits, there never killed a person, at most they would have given a slight knife cut to others. There might not be any police station near by but killing someone and robbing someone are two things with entirely different consequences. They wouldn't dare to kill someone.

"Who i am is not important, all you need to know that all of you are my slaves from now."

When the bandits heard this they laughed out loud. Some random kid came to them and said they were his slaves, although he might be strong but he couldn't be compare to the combined strength of them six. They were really curious of who this kid was and where he came from.

"You really have the guts to say that. Brothers lets show him what hell tastes like."

Suddenly they felt like their bodies go numb. They weren't even able to move their fingers. It felt despair.

"Y-You! What did you do to us!? Quick make us normal or else we will really kill you!"

"What i fed you is a medicine that will make your body paralyzed forever, no matter where you go, no one will be able to treat you. You will live the rest of your lives like a dead log."

They were scared. They were really scared sh*tless. No matter what they have done, they always kept their principle when they robbed someone. They never imagined such situation would ever occur to them. They were ready to do anything to be able to become normal. They finally felt the despair that others felt when they robed them. They now understood that this was something that they deserved, but they don't want to live like this.

"Little brother please accept our apologies, we don't know how we offended you, but we are willing to do anything you say. Please help us, we will never rob another person in our entire life again, please give us a single chance and cure us."

"Its no use no matter what you say, either you become my slaves or else become dead logs for your entire lives. The choice is in your hands."

"Little bro- little boss, we are willing. We are willing to become your slaves, please spare us and give us the cure. We will losten to your every word."

Tian tossed a pill into each bandits mouth. This was the cure for the paralysis. Finally the bandits were able to feel their bodies once again just after 5 minutes.

"Remember your choice, because you will never regret this decision in the future. Also, this is only a temporary cure. If you don't want to be paralyzed for life, you need to take these pills every one month from now."

The bandits were thinking of going back on their words. They will take the cure and kick this kid out of their den. But when they heard the last sentence, they gave up their plans.

Although he wasn't afraid of these bandits strength, he didn't trust them. He needs some helpers to do his stuff and this was the best way to keep them tied.
