Chapter 403 - 403: Beating The Master To Control The Dogs

"Do you guys truly think that you have captured me, and brought me here?"

Eric's words stunned almost everyone in the room for a moment or two, before he continued,

"You are such poor souls, not understand that you have been captured and brought here from me!"

If the first part was still a bit passable, the second part was most certainly a stunner for everyone inside the darkroom, as they couldn't believe what Tianlong Yun had just said.

They suddenly felt a cold chill running through their backs, but none of them paid much attention to it, as the first to escape it, was the short fatty,

"Hhahahaha~! You crazy idiot! It seems like I have hit you a bit too hard when I made you unconscious!"

"Oh, right! There was that too!"

As soon as these words sounded through the room, Tianlong Yun's handcuffs seemed to have been made from plastic, as he stretched them enough to get his hands free.

Without losing any precious second he quickly did the same thing with the handcuffs in his legs, and then jumped down.

'Slappppp…, Banggg…, Booommmm…"

With his handcuffs out of the way, he quickly used his right hand to give the short fatty a tight slap that sent him flying like a heavy rock towards one of the walls.

While the people inside the darkroom were worried and thinking about his prowess, Eric actually thought that this short fatty didn't make enough noise.

It seemed like his fat had acted like a shield of sorts for him to protect him from the heavy pain, and the loud sounds of crashing upon a wall.

At the same time he had to congratulate the worker and designer of the walls, as despite having fatty crash upon it, the wall didn't fall.

But he didn't have much time to think about it, as the next moment he felt danger from behind. The 4 guys that he hadn't considered earlier, had jumped towards him with clear killing intent.

The old man that was a Realm 2 being was still staying beside Cui Xie without showing any sign or intention of taking part in the fight. It seemed like he was just a bodyguard for Cui Xie.

He didn't seem to care whether Cui Xie's people and organization lived or died and got destroyed, as long as Cui Xie wasn't touched he wouldn't move.

Too bad that Eric needed to give the guy a good beating in order to show him who was the boss, so he had no other choice but to involve that old man in the fight as well.

In fact, that old man was the only person who was capable of being his opponent in a head-on fight.

With those thoughts in mind, he decided to just ignore the danger of those 4 fools, and immediately jump in the direction of their Boss Cui Xie.

Due to the difference in skills, and stats it was impossible for those four guys to actually serve as an obstacle for Eric or his plans of attack.

So, even before those guys had even reached the shadow he left behind, he was already on his way to deal with their Boss.

It was at that moment, that the old man beside Cui Xie seemed to have been angered a bit, as he snorted coldly and appeared in front of Cui Xie.

"Hmph~!"

Too bad that from the start Eric had never intended of playing or fighting fair and square, as he took advantage of the chain used earlier to hang his head down and change direction.

While he changed direction midway, he didn't forget to give a good present to the expecting enemy, as 2 grenades fell upon the old man and Cui Xie duo.

The poor old man was faced with a difficult position at that moment, he either fled away using his amazing speed or stayed there blocking the brunt of the explosion and helping Cui Xie.

A normal person would always choose their selves upon the lives of their Master, but this old man didn't seem to be someone normal.

He was extremely loyal, and praiseworthy, as he didn't move from his spot and just placed his best defense to protect himself and Cui Xie from harm.

On the other hand, Eric didn't lose any precious second as the moment he threw himself down from the chain once again, he lied down on the ground.

After using bombs and explosives for so much time he had already created an understanding of their power, and dangers.

'BBOOOOMMMM…, BOOOMMMMM…'

Right after Eric lied on the ground, the two grenades he threw towards his target had exploded in pieces, leaving behind a lot of smoke, fire, and hatred.

By now, Eric's status, identity, and background didn't matter anymore, as he turned into a shameless bastard that had tried to kill them.

The old man knew that the moment after the explosion was the most important moment of this fight, so he made sure to keep himself sharp for that slight chance of action.

In fact, his hindsight, and preparations were extremely good, it was just that he forgot he wasn't the only prey, and that there was someone else he was supposed to protect.

"One moment…, Two…, Three…"

Still, nothing happened. It felt like he had overestimated Eric's abilities and he couldn't be happier about that, but the next moment he heard something that immediately reversed the scale.

'Aagghh…, Aaarrggghhh, Kill you…, Arrgghhh…'

These were the moans of pain from no one else but his Young Master Cui Xie that he was supposed to be protecting now.

He couldn't believe that he was actually outwitted from a young sprout, as anger started building inside his heart. He wanted to use his own hands to actually rip Eric's heart apart.

Too bad that he was unable to do something like that as Cui Xie's body and life were in Eric's hands at this moment, so he could only cry in seek of justice,

"Shameless junior, why don't you release Young Master and fight this old man fair and square, if you win this city will belong to you!"

"Hhahahaha~! Fair and square! Old Fart do you even know the meaning of those words!?

Just what part would be fair and square a fight head-on among us? Just the disparity in our actual age is the same as comparing a valley to a mountain!

Furthermore, how come you were reminded of fair and square only now when I have your Young Master!? Why didn't you say something similar when I was the one captured?

So, when it's not convenient to you people should fight fair and square, but when it's convenient to you it doesn't matter?

Does such a world truly exist!?"

The old man's face turned ashen, as he would have never expected Eric to possess such a sharp tongue, so he couldn't help but ask in a bit of panic,

"So, what do you want?"

Without giving him an answer, Eric gave a few quick slaps to his VIP prisoner, and then continued,

"I just beat him now to show you what will happen to you if you make any wrong move! I hope you don't want to kill this Young Master of yours!"

"You damn demon, what do you want?"

"Nothing much really, just open your Conscience Sea for me to enter. I will tell you about my next demands after that!"

The old man's face turned ashen, he would have never expected Eric to come up with such a request.

Forgetting about the slave seals that would make a man or a woman the slave of their seal creator, a small mistake from Eric could easily turn him into an idiot.

There was no way he was accepting something like that, but at the same time, he couldn't leave his Young Master to suffer. In fact, if he did let him suffer, his Young Master might call him a traitor.

So he had to act and do it fast!

It seemed like he had no choice but to use his trump card, as took out a Talisman from one of his pockets, that started shining and then made a jump towards Eric and his Young Master.

If that worked then he would surely not only succeed in protecting his Young Master but also apprehending the little bastard that put him to shame.

It was just like hitting two birds with one stone.

The Talisman he had just activated was stuck to his legs, and he got faster with each extra foot he passed through. It seemed like a cheat-like ability, just like small distance teleportation.

For that reason, it didn't take him long to reach his target, as in the blink of an eye he was right in front of it, extending one hand towards his Young Master, while the other slapped Eric.

'Clannkkk…, Shatter…'

An extremely good move indeed, even Eric had to accept that it was a good move. Too bad that the results weren't as expected, as instead of Eric's cries of pain, the old man heard sounds of glass shattering.

Huh!?

What the hell!?

What the hell just happened!?

The old man couldn't believe his ears, and his senses reminded him that he had just punched a mirror and not the actual Eric.

That made the poor old man almost suffer an infarct, as he couldn't help but turn his head behind, looking at Eric still holding hostage of Young Master Cui Xie.

Looking that finally, the old man had figured it out, Eric couldn't help but show a grin as he said,

"Is this the fair and square that you predicated a few moments ago old man!? I must say I truly learned something new today…"
