Chapter 40 - Are You Calling The Grand Elder A Liar

Seeing that Jason was ignoring them, Denise couldn't help but speak out in anger.

"I dare you to take just one step".

"Oh, and what are you going to do if I take that step" asked Jason with a smile on his face.

"I will, I will" said Denise who didn't know what to say as he began to look around the place in search of what to use against him until his eyes met a herb that was growing in one corner of the room as a smile appeared on his face.

"Do you know what the grand elder hated the most" asked Denise, who still had a smile on his face.

Jason who had a smile on his face suddenly frowned as he looked at Denise before saying.

"You better not be thinking of causing trouble here if you don't want to lose your fingers".

"Oh scary, I am shaking in my boot. But that is if you can handle the both of us" replied Denise boldly.

"Try me then and see what will happen to your fingers if you are bold enough" said Jason as he gazed at Andrew who had been silent.

"I would love to see you try then" replied Andrew who suddenly smirked before dashing at the location where the herb is and before he could close to it, he saw Jason already standing in front of him.

"Denise come let's beat the living hell out of him" said Andrew as he continued to go forward.

"I am right behind you boss" replied Denise with a chuckle as he went the other way trying to attack Jason from the back while Andrew attacked from the front since it will be difficult for Jason to hold his ground against the two of them.

Seeing what they are trying to do, Jason couldn't help but chuckled as he said before clenching his fist.

"If you still think that I am that weak boy you used to know, then you will be in on loads of pain".

"Enough talk, why don't we let our fist do the talking" yelled Andrew.

Andrew drew his fist backward and was just about to throw a punch only for him to feel his elbow being held in place as he turned around to see who it was only for him to see the grand elder standing behind him.

"Greetings grand elder" said Andrew as he knew on the ground weakly while his arm was still in the grand elder's grip.

Seeing that the grand elder had arrived at a time like this, Denise also went on his knees in fear.

"You two really have the guts to come in here and cause trouble in my place of work. Does my face mean nothing to you" said the ground elder with a frown on his face.

"Grand elder we were angered by that kid who couldn't treat us as a customer instead started saying bad things to us" replied Denise.

"Like you came here with good intentions in the first place" said Jason with a smile on his face.

Seeing the way they are acting towards each other shows that they were not on good terms but for them to think of attacking his herb that he has spent much time nurturing. 

"You two know how I hate fighting here but you still went ahead anyway and not to forget you tried to attack my precious herb which is considered a great sin" said the grand elder.

"It was just a joke, we never intended to attack the herb" replied Andrew as he began to beg the grand elder.

"I thought you guys had learned your lesson but to think that you still have the guts to call the grand elder a liar is truly audacious" said Jason as he took the opportunity to add fire to the matter.

The grand elder couldn't help but frown as he stared at Andrew angrily while adding strength to his hold on Andrew as he said.

"You dare call me a liar".

"No grand elder, how can I be so bold as to call you a liar" reply Andrew as he cried in pain.

"Oh really, then what does your word implies if it is not what I think it is" asked Jason.

"You, why are you trying to make things difficult for us here" said Denise angrily as he looked at Jason.

"Hey, I am just telling the truth here" replies Jason with a smile on his face.

"I hope you will be able to protect yourself outside" said Denise with killing intent in his eyes as he stared at Jason.

"And now you are threatening my employee in front of me. It seems like I have really gone soft on you all" said the grand elder as he burned in fury.

"I am sorry grand elder, the words just left my mouth out of anger" pleaded Denise.

"And these words also left my mouth out of anger also. There will be no pills going to you two for a year and if I were to find out that you got pills from your parents, then you only have yourself to blame for what will happen" replied the grand elder before throwing Andrew out of the room.

Seeing his friend being thrown out like that, Denise didn't wait for the elder to say the word before running out of the room and assist Andrew in getting up before they left.

"That should teach those two to behave later in the future" said Jason with a smile on his face before bowing his head slightly to the grand elder as he thanked him for his assistant.

"Would it have killed you if you didn't say anything to them" asked the grand elder with a sigh.

"I won't lie to you grand elder when I say I would have died a million times if I were to keep silent and let them do as they please" replied Jason with all seriousness.

"Then just pray you don't end up dead because of your big mouth then" said the grand elder with a sigh before he went to take his seat.
