Chapter 3 Hunted

The fat from his body slowly turned into spiritual energy . His invisible rips turned visible , his arms and legs looked like bones .

After exchanging the fat to spiritual power skinny boy guided the spiritual power to his head again . Thus creating more minds .

After creating his seventh mind skinny boy stopped . He slowly walked out of the alley , his body full of sweat .

He looked like a normal beggar , tattered clothes and a smelly body odor .

Slowly walking through the city skinny boy searched for food , maybe some leftover from dishes . Passing by an alley where two beggar fought for a burnt bread he walked in search for a leftovers with no competitor .

Skinny bod didn't walked on the main road , after all he looked like a beggar . It would "disgrace" the city if a beggar dared to walk on it .

At the City Entrance :

"Hahah , it is an honor to meet you ." laughed a fat middle aged man .

"I would like to .... " a female voice wanted to say something .

"I know , i know . You are in search of your protectors right ? We have quite good guards here if you .... " said the fat man with a big smile .

"It is true that i search life long guards , but i am not here to find one . What i do is to pick up some child beggars to give them a better life and talents for our sect ." replied the female voice with a forced smile .

"Don't overstep your border ." interrupted a male .

"Haha , how would i dare young lord ." answered the fat man with a courteous voice .

Another male just "Hmpf-ed" and walked into the city .

No guard stopped him , as the group of males and one female walked into the city .

Back to skinny boy :

He didn't found anything nutrious to eat . Every trash is infested by rats or protected by adult beggars .

Sighing skinny boy strolled through the city maze . Walking for a while he suddenly saw a teenage male looking at him . Ignoring him skinny boy casually walked past him .

Since who would care for a beggar ....

All of sudden the teenage male rushed towards him .

With a surprised face skinny boy dashed into another alley . Without any hesitation the youth followed him .

Taking out the knife skinny boy smeared something on it . Waiting on the edge of an intersection he waited .

His breath seemed to be nonexistent .

The youth rushed past , as skinny boy jumped out and stabbed the youth . Without any preparation the knife penetrated deep into the body . Blood gushed out as skinny boy jumped into another alley and escaped .

With a shocked face the youth looked at his wound .

Skinny boy dashed towards the city gate , cursing his faith into believing that nobody would care for a little dirty beggar he spurted the entire way .

On the way he witnessed how other youths collected young beggars .

Sneaking around skinny boy hoped that the youths wouldn't collect every single beggar . Else he would be doomed .

Nearing the city gate he sighed , the gate is blocked by guards .

Turning around in hope for a hiding place he could see how the wounded youth chased him the entire way .

"Now i got you ." laughed the youth while dashing towards him .

'Dammit , he is at least a mid warrior .' thought skinny boy while preparing his knife .

"You are pretty daring for a little boy aren't you ? How about that , i will give you food and shelter if you join my sect ." suggested the youth .

"Why should i trust a guy who hunts young beggars with other guys ?" asked skinny boy .

"How about that : I swear on **** if you join my sect you will get the same treatment as other disciple . But you have to work for it ." laughed the youth .

"What sect ?" asked skinny boy . He knew some factions in his previous life , naturally as enemy .

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

"My sect is called the Falling Leave sect ." replied youth with a smile .

"Is it part of the alliance ?" asked skinny boy .

"Oh , you know the alliance ?" asked the youth with a suprised look .

"..." skinny boy didn't answered .

With confident look the youth pulled out a medallion and a sharp sword .

Cutting himself to let some blood drop on it , a symbol of a leave appeared on it . On the leave appeared a white wing .

"Convinced ?" asked the youth . Pulling out a white stone he throw it towards skinny boy .

Dodging skinny boy waited for a while before picking up a pebble and throwing it on the stone .

*donk*

Nothing happened .

Picking up the stone skinny boy looked at the youth .

"I will accept ." said skinny boy while the stone in his hands turned into dust .

As if the youth succeeded he grinned .

The wound skinny boy inflicted on the youth was already healed a while ago . While the poison remained it is only a weak paralyzing poison , thus making it no thread to the youth .

Both of them walked side on side while the youth talked : "My name is called Daniu , but you can call me senior or big bro ."

Skinny boy just ignored him , since he accepted the contract he's sure that Daniu won't kill or hurt him . However it is a fact though that Daniu tried to trick skinny boy into his sect faction , but it didn't mattered for Skinny boy . After all there are so much advantages !

Maybe Daniu got a guilty consience that he tricked him , but the contract doesn't say anything about working . It only meant "work" for improvement of the faction .

Perhaps Daniu is new to such contracts , thusly getting him tricked .

Since Skinny boy just walked alongside Daniu just like a wooden block , Bubu stopped talking .

Arriving at the opposite city gate . They stopped . Skinny boy looked at the different youths holding many young beggars with a cord . The beggars didn't moved though , since each of them is holding a big loaf of white bread .

"Hahahah , Daniu , you only got one little beggar ? Can't your teacher bring more beggars into his house than one ?" laughed a handsome male .

Skinny boy could see how Daniu clenched his hands into fists .

Seeing that nobody reacted to his joke the handsome male stopped harassing him . Else it would seem like he would be bullying him .

Another youth walked next to Daniu , whispering : "Why do you only bring one child ? We can't fall behind the others houses . Didn't i reminded you that we are less collectors than every other house ?"

Skinny boy face didn't changed , but he could guess the reason why Daniu wanted to rope him in by a contract . His Sect house or faction where he belongs to declined . Thus meeting a child who is able to hurt a mid warrior he wanted to rope him in as fast as possible .

It wasn't a bad decision , but since many people guess that the "work" in the contract is physical and not only "trying" to work hard it will be decided the moment the contact will be written .

Daniu replied with a whispering voice : "Don't be so harsh .... the boy i brought back is able to attack me ! I couldn't even detected him as i chased him ."

"Oh ! Really ? If that happened then ok . Did you make a contract with him ?" the youth sounded happier .

"Yes , but he asked me if my sect is part of the alliance . Do you think he is a spy ?" Danius whispering sounded doubtful .

"No , it isn't a rarity for young slaves of the dark side to escape causing them to live a life as a beggar . Mostlikely it was because of this he was able to attack you . Do you remember how eldest brother talked about his experience with the dark side ? He described it as a society where the strong rules and the only chance for weak people to survive is to serve or to hide ." explained the youth . "Besides master wrote the part of betraying thus making is foolproof . I don't know why he chuckled as he read the contract though ."

"Okay , lets bribe some other children with food so they will come to our house ." laughed Daniu .

"Stop , don't even think of it . I already lost more than half of my children because they got bribed by food . Besides do you truly think the children will support our house ? They will betray us once they knew our situation . It would be better to gain fewer but more loyal people . Not only that , feed your caught chidren well or else if they got talent we have to hand them out if they want to chance houses ." sighed the youth .

"But didn't you say that i brough too few ... " asked Daniu .

"You only brought one , how high is the chance that he won't get taken by other houses ?" interrupted the youth . "Well , we got no time to spare . The other sect started the same time so we have to walk through citys as fast as possible . Last year we could collect the children with more time . But since blood five conquered the west we have to hurry . Maybe this region will be destroyed sooner or later . See you in the sect Daniu ."

"Yes , good luck !" answered Daniu .

Skinny boy looked how most of the youths rushed out of the city . They dumped their kids on one youth . The youth who talked to Daniu is no exception , he dumped his kids to Daniu .

The only remarkable thing to look at is the amount of children surrounding each youth . On each youth are at least 50 children . However in the group of Daniu less than 20 children grouped around him .

On the other hand the sole female convinced more than 80 children to follow her house member.

"Please group now , i will give each of you a loaf of bread . Don't fight for it . You will all get enough ." shouted Daniu while distributing bread . He added : "Follow me , we will walk to the sect !"

Slowly about 15 children walked behind Daniu . One of them is skinny boy .

Daniu walked as if he wanted to escape from something . At first Skinny boy felt cautious , but he soon relaxed as he discovered that only the other houses bribed Daniu childrens with pieces of meat or more bread .

Since the time where Daniu left the city half a year passed . Skinny boy ate more and more while becoming rounder and rounder . Now almost looking like a ball of fat . Each step he took caused his fat to jiggle .

The reason why he was able to eat so much is because the group of 15 dwindled to a single member . Skinny boy .

Thus Daniu gave him as much food as he wanted . The fact that skinny boy took every single bribe like meat of bread of caused Daniu to felt unwell . But he discovered that skinny boy ate the bribe without any idears to change house .

However the rest of children got bribed with sweets and meat . Thus making it impossible for them to resist .

As the last child except Skinny boy got bribed Daniu packed Skinny boy and carried him with full speed towards the sect .

Soon another half year passed . It would take shorter if Daniu would take more teleport arrays . But he decided to save the spirit stones .

Skinny boy asked Daniu for two spirit stones , which is meager compared to one teleport cost . Naturally Daniu gave Skinny boy two stones .

Skinny boy didn't created more mind this year . Since he got enough to eat why don't save up till he got enough fat for exchanging everything at once ?

One day Daniu dashed through the forest while talking to Skinny boy : "Tomorrow we will get to my Fallen Leave sect .
