Haoyu and Jace took less than twenty minutes to return to the Fox Manor, the banquet was still ongoing and everyone was having a good ti. Jace also chose to let loose and enjoy the mont so he did what any person trying to let loose would do, start drinking. Jace gulped down cup after cup of chinese wine, very sweet and alcoholic.
Jace surprisingly also enjoyed the music that was playing, a family mber was playing the guqin beautifully while also singing with her lodious voice that one enjoyed listening to. Haoyu just sat quietly on a corner and closed his eyes.
…
An hour and a half later, Jace was completely wasted and could barely even speak coherent words. Drunk with him was Jun Hie and a few other youngsters of similar age to Jun Hie.
Everyone was having a good ti when suddenly everyone's expression changed from being drunk and having fun to being sober and serious. Haoyu who had his eyes closed this entire ti opened them and then disappeared from his corner. Jace felt the change in atmospheres and used his Ability to get rid of the alcohol in his system and imnsely beca sober.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
A few minutes earlier, Faceless who'd just regained his strength not long ago reached this place after following Jace's directions but didn't expect that the place he ca to would be where his enemies lived.
‘Damn Fox Clan, dare to seal for thousands of years then you throw a banquet. Today, I shall eliminate all Fox Clansn, be it the young or the old, the weak or the strong, I shall eradicate you all.’ said Faceless inwardly as he released terrifying Killing Intent.
Seconds after he released his Killing Intent, Haoyu ca out of the manor with a calm but sharp gaze.
“What are you trying to do?” asked Haoyu.
“Kill the Fox Clan, boy, I suggest you stay out of this before you get hurt. A Nascent Soul Realm like you isn't a match for .” answered Faceless.
“I'm afraid I can't do that, master is inside the manor.”
“Since you want to interfere in my business, die!” shouted Faceless as he moved through the shadows and appeared behind Haoyu while holding two black daggers. He planned on stabbing Haoyu's head and deal with him quickly but unfortunately it wouldn't be so easy.
A small ice shield appeared behind Haoyu's head and blocked the sneak attack. Haoyu then turned around and blew cold breath at Faceless.
[Ice Technique: Cold Breath!]
Faceless disappeared through the shadows before the attack reached him and appeared on a tree branch. The trow then started to battle it out, creating shock waves that constantly shook the ground. Everyone from the Fox Clan ca out to see just what the cause of the commotion but all they saw were mirages of the two.
They moved too fast to be observed with the naked, only the Fox Clan ancestors could barely watch the battle, Jace activated his Advanced Lenses and his vision slowed down by many tis and the battle wasn't so fast anymore.
“Stop! Both of you stop right now! Stop fighting!” Jace commanded but the two didn't listen to him and continued to fight. Jace kept telling them to stop fighting but they just didn't listen to him.
‘Why won't they listen to ?’ thought Jace as he rembered the recent bullying event that almost took his life. He rembered begging for help, begging for his life to be spared but the bullies didn't listen to him. His thoughts went further back, replaying all the mories of him being bullied while begging for forgiveness.
Scarlet who was standing beside Jace noticed Jace's expression change after he beca silent. She could see the rage that filled Jace's eyes but hidden within this rage was great pain, she wondered what it was that brought Jace such pain.
Jace then looked coldly at the two, his body shaking in anger and his breathing uneven.
[Stop!] commanded Jace in a cold and authoritative voice. Haoyu and Faceless's body froze in place after Jace's command. The two couldn't even blink.
Jace who was bubbling with fury, wanted to teach these two a lesson they'd never forget.
‘I want them to feel unimaginable pain. Pain so great, they'd never disobey my orders ever again.’
said the System.
[EEEEKKKKK!!!]
[AAAAHHHHH!!!]
Faceless and Haoyu suddenly scread in agonizing pain, veins popped on Haoyu's forehead as his face turned red, he tried to clench his teeth but the pain was just too much to bear. The duo squird like worms on the ground while screaming. Faceless’ screams made everyone's souls shudder because that scream wasn't normal. It was absolutely scary and blood curdling.
Everyone didn't know what was happening to the two but because of Faceless' abnormal wailing, they absolutely didn't want to experienced it.
…
Jace then walked over to the squirming servants and stepped on their dirt covered faces.
[If you ever disobey my orders again. It won't end with just experiencing pain, I'll also be taking your lives. Rember, I'm the one who gave you lives and since I can give, naturally, I can also take back what I gave you. I'm the master and you're the servants, never forget your identities!] said Jace coldly as he cancelled the pain function.
Haoyu was completely drenched in sweat as he breathed heavily, he almost shat himself from the pain. Faceless on the other hand showed nothing out of place because of his clothes but his hands covered in gloves kept shaking uncontrollably.
“It's… not… fair… I… was only… trying to… help. I didn't… deserve… to… be… punished…” said Haoyu with a wronged look.
[Nothing is fair, even life isn't fair. So people are born blind while others are born with the ability to see. So are born without limbs, so can't walk, so can't hear and so can't speak. There are those born with talent while others are born talentless. Do you think I give a shit about fairness when the world isn't fair?! You said it yourself, in this world, the strong prey on the weak so why are you now complaining?] said Jace coldly.
It was then that Haoyu realised that the easy going and carefree Jace wasn't as easy going or as carefree as he seed. An evil person hid underneath the facade Jace showed.
“I want you to explain what ‘this’ fuss was all about. You'll find in the dining hall.” said Jace as he walked away. Everyone watched as Jace walked away with Scarlet hugging his arm.
“Wasn't Jace drinking with us and completely drunk a while ago, why is he now completely sober?” asked a family mber that was drinking with Jace.
“Don't ask about what you shouldn't, let's go back inside the manor.” said one of the ancestors.
…
Thirty minutes had passed and currently, everyone was seated at a huge hall that accommodated everyone in the Fox Clan. Faceless was the only person who remained standing.
“The reason for my Killing Intent is because the Fox Clan destroyed my body and trapped in that forest for thousands of years. I only wanted to get revenge for what they did to .” explained Faceless.
“Impossible! We don't even know who you are so how could we destroy your body and trap you?!” said one of the ancestors.
“The person who trapped is definitely from the Fox Clan, he even told his na, what was it again… oh yes, his na was… Fox Muyang!”
“IMPOSSIBLE!!!”
