Chapter 5
“Hah…Hah…yeah…you are really…late…”
Answer Yuwan with difficulty. Even though he looks now was really pitiful, a smile actually appear on Yuwan’s face.
After Goh spilled by Durio fruit, nauseous took over him. Even though he want to act though, he cannot help the dizzying sickness feeling on his and stomach. After a few breath trying to act though without pinching his nose at all, Goh finally vomit. Goh became really pale, his face look like dumpster, while his body shaking from head to toe vomiting without stop. It only took sometime until he couldn’t take it anymore and put his robe off which afterward use it to wipe his face.
After Goh finish, he start to glare the now smiling smugly Esrad beside Yuwan. At this time, the twin already stood up with difficulty while waiting Goh order.
“What? Do you think that you would be able to beat me?”
“Don’t be arrogant you bastard, it is none of your business. Stand aside or I would bring more people to beat you up.”
“It is my business, he is my friend so if you want to beat Yuwan, I would interfere.”
Said Esrad with seriousness shown on his face. Esrad golden eyes glaring to the not that far Goh, determined could be seen on his eyes as if trying to say that he would fight to the end.
“Attack Him!”
Order Goh to the Twin. Twin move together, showing perfect synchronization as if they are already planning how to attack beforehand. Twin attack from both side, but Esrad still maintains his position circulating His Qi. Attack contain with violent wind came from Esrad right, while sweep kick came from his left. Esrad didn’t attack nor dodge, he just casually circulating his qi toward his right palm and left foot and blocking their attack head on.
Bam! Bam!
Esrad body shaken but there is no visible injury, twin attack stop and they are stuck in that position. After a brief moment, Goh began to move. He dash forward until he already in front of Esrad preparing Winding Wave Fist toward Esrad chest.
Now Esrad began to move. Esrad circulate his Qi toward his feet performing forward kick toward Goh first on the chest.
Bam!
Shock filled Goh mind while pain run from his chest suffocating him throughout Goh body while he thrown back 4 meter backward. Seeing that, seemingly Twin A from Esrad left hastily retract his feet retreating backward. But seemingly twin B cant retract his punch because of Esrad powerfully clutching his hand. Suddenly, twin B body as if became really light, he felt like he is floating and the world spinning just like that which puzzled him until pain came from his back.
Bam!
He was thrown toward Twin A colliding him and then fall to the ground stacking up.
Maybe the twin didn’t know because they didn’t receive an attack from Esrad directly, but Goh did so he knows what level Esrad cultivation is.
“Guh…8…level 8 elementary rank!!”
Said Goh while he enduring his pain on the chest, his sound reaches the twin seemingly shocks them both too. Shock filled Goh and twin’s mind. Even he himself reaches level 6 with the help of cultivation resource. And yet, mere villagers reach level 8 which he is really sure that Esrad didn’t get cultivation resource help. Thinking about it deeply, Goh start to realize that he wouldn’t be able to beat Yuwan up for his humiliation with Esrad around.
“Do you still thought that you can beat me?” ask Esrad again.
It is the truth that Goh wouldn’t be able to win if he fights Esrad. But how can he just say ‘yes I can’t, I’m sorry~’ after what Yuwan did to him? He is quietly standing up, forgetting about his hand which still bleeding and his pain chest seemingly thinking about something.
After a moment passed, Goh start to talk again
“I am son of Yuodi Murash, younger brother from the current patriarch of Murash clan. Whoever you are, I promise you would became my servant, no, my right hand-man if you would step aside.”
Goh didn’t give up, he start to promise Esrad to make him his right hand-man if Esrad would step aside. After all, he is son of younger brother from the current patriarch. By being his right hand-man Esrad would benefit greatly, he is 100% sure out of 10 people, only one who would reject this kind of offer and that 1 person if not an idiot, it would be he/she had no brain.
At this time, Esrad serious face start to have little smile on his tanned face. Seeing this, Goh feel elated, and great idea came up on his head while smile start to creep on Goh murash full of mark face.
“It seems like you are a smart person. That right! I will give you a chance, if you kill Yuwan, I would give you 20 Spirit Ember as a reward. How was that?”
Spirit Ember is kind of money, including Spirit Stone and Spirit Marble. If you put it in order it is Spirit Marble>Spirit Ember>Spirit Stone multiplies by 100. For Yuwan, 5 Spirit Stone was enough for him to not worrying about starving for an entire day. Even Goh himself thought that he is very generous right now considering killing the beaten up Yuwan with level 8 elementary rank was very easy matter.
If not for Goh murash never dare to kill villager from Murago clan, he would kill Yuwan by himself. That is the reason he just cruelly beat Yuwan up every now and then when he feel like to. But it is different if the one who kill Yuwan is from the villager itself. The brat who dare to be so disrespect toward me should die miserably, thought Goh on his mind.
Brighter smiles appear on Esrad face. Seeing this, cold sweat start to slowly flow on Yuwan’s face, His face becoming paler while he took one step back after another silently which made Goh feel more elated.
“You are not lying right?”
“I’m not~”
In the surface, Goh smiling indifferently as if Esrad already considered as his serv— right-hand, but on the inside he is laughing maniacally.
‘Kuku… you are really unfortunate Yuwan. Even though I’m not the one who kill you, killed by your own friend can be counted as your punishment fur humiliating me. Afterwards I can kill that guy with purple hair by when we got back home. It would be easy matter considering he is on my home~’
Yuwan friends=Goh enemy. Goh remember clearly when Yuwan spit on his face, trample his face, and slap his face just now. Remembering it again cause fury start to rose on Goh, Goh feel like chopping Yuwan to pieces, but he shallow back his anger. Yuwan alone wasn’t enough to appease his anger, Yuwan’s friend would be very pleasing dessert after tasting chopping Yuwan’s corpse.
‘I cant brought that bastard corpse now, but I just need to came back and retrieve Yuwan’s corpse after I’m done with fruit village’
But the twin seems rather displeased, but they cannot going against Goh will. They just standing on Goh side, silently watching the current event, swallowing their displeasure without a word.
“I need my DP”
Goh asked by Esrad once again. Goh understand that maybe Esrad wouldn’t believe him, that is why he asked for DP. Nodding his head, Goh start to rummaging his pocket, searching for money he has at hand.
“I’m only bringing 1 Spirit Ember with me, I will give you the rest when we go back to the clan”
Esrad smile brightly seemingly pleased by that.
‘Wait, it is weird. Why did that bastard(Yuwan) didn’t run away? ‘ thought Goh.
But, maybe it is just Goh imagination. After all, after confirming his payment, Esrad suddenly rush toward Yuwan and the throwing punch toward Yuwan stomach.
Bam!
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
“Gah!!”
The power of the punch seems really strong, because Yuwan start to screaming clutching his stomach while crouching after being punched. Esrad then grab Yuwan robe, slowly walk toward Goh while dragging Yuwan. Trail of the parting grass left behind by Yuwan dragged body seemingly lifeless. Some of the grass even had a hint of blood over here and there flowing from Yuwan mouth and face.
“Give me the DP first”
Asked Esrad while walking calmly.
Of course Goh would gratefully give the money to Esrad. But he doesn’t move an inch, he waited for Esrad to get closer toward him. He doesn’t want to walk. After all, what kind of serv— right-hand who would made his master go look for him. Esrad is his servant, so he would stand proudly while waiting Esrad to get closer. About the money, he didn’t bother with it because he would get it back after killing Esrad.
When Esrad already standing 1 meter in front of Goh, while Goh start to give Esrad the money, Esrad suddenly attack Goh stomach with more speed than when he punch Yuwan. Even whistling of wind thorn by Esrad kick could be heard clearly. Goh didn’t except it at all, so he didn’t even had the time to dodge.
Bam!
“Gah!!”
Scream Goh, while he coughs a mouthful of air. Goh scream reverberates on the windy grassy plain, because of a pain Goh felling right now. At this time, the dragged and lifeless Yuwan suddenly full of vigor again, and throw an upper-cut punch on the clutching his stomach Goh.
Bam!
Another sound, much weaker than before reverberates once again. Goh flip backward one time and collapsed a few meter from his first position on the ground, not moving. The still watching from the side twin, stare in shock toward Goh collapsed body.
“Do you think I would sell my friend? Maybe because you are that kind of bastard, which is why you thought that, others would do the same?”
Said Esrad to the collapsed Goh. His face full of disgust, even ridicule shown on Esrad eyes.
“In you Dream”
Said Esrad again. This time, his face didn’t show disgust, and ridicule on, but very bright smile. Everyone could tell that Esrad eyes didn’t smiling at all.
Complete Anger!
Esrad took an important place toward the word “Firend”. That’s why he fell really angry when Goh thought that Esrad would sold Yuwan out, even kill Yuwan just for money. When Goh start to struggling to get up, he caught a glimpse of Esrad golden eyes. On Esrad golden eyes, burning anger could be seen very clearly, even cold killing intent clearly emanate on it. Seeing this, Goh whose want to get up, fall on his butt shaking from fear. That golden eyes as if telling him that killing Goh would be an easy matter, which terrified him to the core.
“Yo-yo-you!! Ho-ho-how dare to h-have ki-ki-killing intent toward me!! Do you know who I AM!?? “
Shout Goh with fear. His bloody snot and saliva fly all over the place while he shouting seemingly desperate. Even cold sweat and tremble could be seen on his body.
“I’m sorry for my rudeness. I don’t know who you are. I’m so sinful. Could you please enlighten me?”
Asked Esrad with very, very sad and regret tone but still smiling expression on his face. On the side, Yuwan could only show a wry smile while shaking his head toward his best friend behavior. He knew very well about his best friend, Esrad already on wrath mode right now. Yuwan already befriend Ersad since very young so he already made him angry on the past.
Being asked by Esrad, Goh feel like being given hope.
“I-I’m Goh Murash, the son of Youdi Murash!!! If you dare to ki-ki-kill me, my dad wouldn’t let you off easily!!!”
A tint of arrogance actually appear again on Goh tone of voice even though he is trembling.
‘With this, he would be afraid to kill me!!’ thought Goh feeling proud toward his status.
Goh clearly saying that HE is the son of of current Murash patriact younger brother. What kind of idiot dare to offend his murash clan? But that thought only showed for an instant, before crumble to pieces after hearing Esrad reply.
“So What?”
With bright smile on his face, Esrad purple hair softly fluttering from the wind, which actually seems become brighten Esradn expression. Rather than fell at ease seeing Esrad smile, Goh instead become more terrified. Intense Horror appear on the messed up Goh face. Acutally, Esrad himself never killed someone, so it is rather doubtful whether would he really going to kill Goh or not. But, Goh never knew Esrad before. So He only believes what Goh himself feel or see.
Hearing this and seeing Esrad eyes which containt killing intent, Goh arrogance and confident expression disappear without trace with a puff like a smoke replaced with intense fear.
‘I-I-I-I’m gonna die? I’m gonna die!?’
Ask Goh toward himself who didn’t believe it. Or more like, he just didn’t want to believe it. His shouting on his mind began more and more desperate, more intense every time Esrad took slowly one step after another toward him. Spark of idea suddenly appear on his head.He suddenly realizes that he still has the twin by his side.
“You Two!! Block him while I’m running away!!”
Order Goh toward the twin. The twin seem hesitate whether to obey or not until one of them couldn’t help but asking.
“We can’t hold him too long…”
“USE YOUR LIFE YOU IDIOT!! YOU ARE YOU STUPID ORWHAT!!?? WHEN I ASK YOU TO FIGTH, YOU FIGHT, WHEN I ASK YOU TO DIE, YOU DIE!! YOU ARE ONLY A MERE SERVANT OF MINE!!YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL TO DIE BECAUSE OF PROTECTING ME!!!”
Before the twin even finish his sentence, Goh cut him off while reprimanding him while pointing his finger with saliva fly all over the place seems very desperate.
Goh thought them as a tool, not a living person even from the first time the twin ordered to be Goh servant. So what if they die? It is their obligation to die from protecting himself. They are a mere servant, a tool, a dog, killer, even they are homo if Goh told so. That is why Goh didn’t feel weird at all when saying such a thing.
Hearing that, the Twin looks at each other gloomily. It just a mere instant before their expressions became indifferent as first time Yuwan meet them. It is very clear as sky after the storm that both decide to abandon Goh. They are only a servant? Yes. But they are not a slave. They really don’t have any obligation nor need to sacrifice themselves in order to protect Goh. Seeing that the twin behavior, he understood what their intentions. The now desperate Goh become insane with red eyes and horror expression as if he already go mad.
‘I AM FROM THE MURASH CLAN!! I AM THE SON OF YOUDI MURASH!! THERE IS NO WAY IMPORTANT FIGURE SUCH AS ME WOULD DIE JUST LIKE THAT!!’
Goh mind broke, and his head only contain liar statement after another to convince himself which he believes to the core.
But, as if heaven feeling the desperateness on Goh mind, someone shout suddenly rung loudly on the windy grassy plain making everyone presents ear buzzing as if the shout actually comes right in front of the ear itself.
“STOP!!!”
