Capítulo 5: THE REVENGE FEST IN THE CITY
THE REVENGE FEST IN THE CITY
"Agrilla let Yagma go and don't bother with him anymore", I told Agrilla.
"What? This is not like you. Did you get scolded by your father again. You never listen to him before", Agrilla asked me.
"Just release him", I insisted of Agrilla.
Agrilla reluctantly released Yagma who quickly ran off as quickly as he could.
"Don't bully anyone else from now on", I told Agrilla after Yagma was gone.
"Are you feeling well? You don't seem like yourself", Agrilla asked me.
"Told you, you are acting OOC again", Saye reminded me.
Agrilla was about to protest to me when suddenly, a brawny man and several guys as muscular as him rushed to block my way. These men weren't the usual bully although they had brawns. They earned their muscles working as laborers and porters for the merchants in the city.
"Are you the one who hurt my son, Damise", a man shouted at me.
"Did I do that?" I asked Saye.
"Yes, you asked your boys to put him in the hospital for a month after he refused to let you pinch his butt", she told me.
"Damnit", I told myself.
"Alright whatever I did to your son I'm sorry would you forgive me?" I asked the guy who was suddenly shocked by my apology.
"It's a trick he must be waiting for his guards to come", another guy told the aggrieved father who came to confront me.
"No guards would be coming I assure you", I told them.
"Now beat him up", another guy said but suddenly many of my guards arrived to surround those men.
Apparently, Oriese's father sent guards to follow him secretly and help him when he got into trouble, and he got into trouble quite often.
So, it wasn't surprising that they came just in time.
"See told you we shouldn't seek revenge against him. His family is too powerful for us normal people", another guy said.
"Stand down", I told my guards who stopped going over to attack these people.
"What are you going to do to us you monster?" Damise's father asked me as he cried.
"You came for revenge, and I'll grant it to you", I told Damise's father.
"What? Are you kidding?" Agrilla asked me.
"Not kidding, in fact everybody here who have grievances with me. Let's settle all these grievances today. I'll stand here and give you guys some free punches until you are satisfied but after this, you shall not seek revenge against me anymore. I'm turning over a new leaf", I told everyone.
"Are you sure?" they asked me surprised that I wasn't retaliating against them with my guards like what I usually did.
"On one condition. Gather all and everyone that wants revenge on me. Bring them all", I told them.
Soon the street was crowded with hundreds of those that I aggrieved before, and they lined up to take revenge on me. There were even those that I've never hurt before but came to vent their anger on me for my previous arrogance. But that didn't matter to me at all.
"He must be wearing magical armor it's a trick", someone said.
"Alright I'll take off my clothes and show you my abs", I told them as I stood there almost naked to take their punches.
"You are going to get into trouble if the church knows your body is so tough that you can let these people beat you up", Saye reminded me.
"Touch his butts", someone added to the rowdy bunch.
"You can hit me but no touching", I told them.
The rowdy bunch of aggrieved waited, while I found a clothes stall to change into almost nothing.
-----
Oriese walked out toward the crowd of angry mob to receive his punishment.
However, the mob was wary about hitting Oriese. They were afraid that he would retaliate against them if they dared to injure him.
"Arrgggghhhh"
Oriese screamed as Damise's father suddenly took the first punch on his belly while he sucked in his stomach, so that he won't hurt him too much. Oriese fell to the ground, hurt by the punch.
"Kick him", someone suggested and came to kick Oriese when he was down.
"Stop it all of you right now", Oriese' guards came to protect him but was stopped by Oriese.
"Let them have their revenge", Oriese spoke to the guards.
"Arrgggghhhh"
The guy punched Oriese again as vengeance for his son before he hit him again a third time.
"More, you can hit me more until you are satisfied", Oriese told him.
Damise's father threw more punches at Oriese repeatedly until he was exhausted and out of breath and could no longer hit him.
"Forget it, we are even now", Damise's father told Oriese as he left.
Damise's father was finally satisfied and left the revenge to the next aggrieved person.
"Arrgggghhhh"
Oriese screamed again at every punch that he took from his enemies and the streets were filled with his moans and screaming.
The news of what Oriese did reached even his father Orol who rushed to see him.
"What are you doing Oriese?" Orol asked his son.
"I'm settling my score with them", he replied to him.
"They are just poor people. I can compensate them you don't have to let them hurt you", Oriese's father told him.
"Let them. An eye for an eye. Money cannot compensate an injury, and this is the only way to settle my past misdeeds", Oriese told his father as those he aggrieved continued to vent their vengeance on me.
"No, I will not allow this?" Oriese shouted to the mob as his guards came to surround the crowd.
"Master, let the young master play this out. This is all staged, he will not be hurt. He is trying to change his behavior and reputation", Saye whispered to Orol's ears.
"He is doing something like that?" Orol asked Saye suspiciously, but he asked his guards to stand down while the mob continued to hit his son.
Many people came to take revenge on Oriese the bully, but as the day went fewer people came forward to take their revenge on him until there was none left.
"From this day on my grievances with those, I hurt in this city shall be cleansed. If any of you disagree come out now or never at all again. Spread this message throughout Staari city", Oriese told the people in the city.
"Oriese, we can go now let the healers tend to your injuries", Orol asked Oriese.
"No, I'll stay till the day is over", Oriese told his father.
Oriese's conviction in redeeming and cleansing of his past misdemeanors affected even Oriese's father who was surprised with the change in his son. But somehow, he was pleased that his son actually had the courage to own up to his own mistakes and not wait for his family to help him.
So, he reluctantly allowed his beloved son to be beaten by those he bullied.
Even though nobody else came forward to attack Oriese, he stayed till the day was over before he returned home just as he pledged.
-----
"Do you think that's enough to appease all those you have bullied and touched?" Saye asked me, unconvinced that it was enough.
"Well, everything should start somewhere. I don't need those I hurt to like me, I just hope to tame their fury", I told her before she walked over and punched me in the stomach.
"Hey what was that for?" I asked her.
"That's for having the face that made me his servant", she told me with an evil grin.
"Are you sure he didn't touch you somewhere that he shouldn't have?" I asked her when she kicked me again but this time on my behind.
"Yes, that was where he touched", I replied to her.
------
"Son, let the healers look at you", Orol asked me.
"That is not necessary", I replied to him.
"But you were beaten badly by the mob?" he asked me.
"Some of them are actors that I employed, there is no real harm to me. Those who really wanted to harm me were crowded out of action by those I employed", I replied to Orol.
"They seem to be very convincing when they attacked you", he said to me.
"They are pros, the best money can buy", I replied to him.
"Who taught you how to run a deception like that? You even gave me a scare", Orol said to his son.
"It will resolve my bad reputation in the city, it's all worth it", I replied to him.
"Yes, yes. You have grown up and are a genius. We are business people, there is no real need to anger the people in the city. You shouldn't go around messing with the poor people, there is no benefit to us", Orol told me.
"I will stay at home for some time though, unless people think that my revenge fest is fake", I told Orol.
"Yes, don't go out for a while. Meanwhile you can learn to do business with me", Orol said to me.
