Bab 52: Worse than Death(1)
Kadyn glanced at the middle-aged man with an amused and intrigued expression and said: "Mr Leader, I think you don't realise what kind of situation you are in right now, do you?"1
Association Leader Barret Duncan felt a chill, spotting a smirk on Kadyn's face. He wiped the sweat off his temples, trying to suppress the growing apprehension inside his heart. He felt furious and humiliated and fearful at the same time. Barret was completely helpless in front of this brat. He gritted his teeth and replied. "I know that we aren't in a position to negotiate, but I still hope that you will listen to me. Otherwise we won't feel safe."
Kadyn stared at him and said nothing, waiting for him to finish. "I want you to sign a Spirit Contract that you won't hurt us." In the end Barret Duncan said.
The murmurs filled the Auction Hall when people heard his words. Kadyn had some understanding about the so-called Spirit Contract due to assimilating the knowledge of the three Elementary Scrolls. As the name implies, it was a contract, but no one could break this contract or that person would receive a tremendous backlash and his/her soul might shatter due to this backlash.
Thinking about this, Kadyn curled his lips and said. "Sure, but I will be the one who writes the terms and conditions. You can reject it if you don't like it, but don't expect me to be lenient with you at that time. Deal?"
He knew that it wouldn't be easy to make them spit the information about his parents, as it was their last hope to survive. Therefore he decided to take a step back. He would have many chances to get even with them in the future.
Barret Duncan hesitated for a moment and glanced towards the elder before giving his nod. Kadyn smiled at his gesture and turned towards the audience before speaking apologetically. "I beg your pardon. Today, there won't be any auction." Kadyn turned towards Elora and went on. "Show the way to everyone."
Though the girl pouted hearing his words; he wanted to send her away again. However she still complied with his words and strolled towards the gate of the Hall. After that no one dared to make a noise and slowly started their departure. The Elders of the two families—Irabel and Palius—sighed dejectedly and stood up as well. Although they wanted to see the conclusion of this event. No one was daring enough to stay after Kadyn's words.
As the hunter, who almost killed Kadyn in the Panoramic Forest, saw this, he too wanted to escape. However Kadyn laughed coldly at his action and grabbed the man by his throat, who struggled and gurgled and fumbled in his hand like a chicken at the chopping board.
"Still want to run, huh?" Kadyn sneered. "I've never seen someone as shameless as you in my life. Now you need to pay the price for your shamelessness—one needs to take responsibility for his every action, right?"
"Hmm, hmmm….gurgellesd," the man struggled in his hand but to no avail. At this moment the fire started to gather on Kadyn's hand and took the form of an arrow. This was the first spell pattern he had learned. Arrow Rush. Spotting the arrow in Kadyn's hand, man's struggle intensified. He fumbled his legs this and that way with horrified eyes.
"Puchi!"
Without any deliberation, the arrow penetrated the man at the centre of his forehead and opened a hole in a skull—the struggle stopped as the lustre in his eyes faded and the life left from his body. Putang! Kadyn threw the man without any emotions on his face. It was a weird feeling. He had never killed before; and yet he felt nothing after killing the first man in his life ever. He looked at the corpse on the ground and took a deep breath. The calmness in his eyes almost terrified everyone to the brink of crying.
He gazed around and saw some of the people—who had still to exit the hall—staring at him with terror-stricken looks. As his eyes fell on them, that almost petrified and appalled several people as they rushed out of the Auction Hall with trembling legs.
Kadyn cared a little about those people and turned towards Barret Duncan. Then he gaped at Fenon and others, who turned pale in fear and stumbled back with their shivering legs. Though there was a smile on Kadyn's handsome face at this moment, to them, he was no less than a devil from their gruesomest nightmare.
"Wh-what do you want to do?!" Fenon stammered with an aghast face and weak voice. None of his previous arrogance could be heard from his voice at this moment. Now he realised that he had hit the iron plate filled with poisonous thorns.
Nonetheless, Kadyn didn't pay any heed to Fenon and turned towards Hicka and shook his head disappointedly. "Your Psychic element is truly powerful. You can control your emotions, that's truly admirable. Alas, but I'm really disappointed with your actions. I thought that I got a true brother."
"Humph!" Hicka snorted, not willing to reply.
Kadyn shook his head, and a screen appeared in front of him that only he could see.
[Employee Name: Hicka]
[Employee Rank: None]
[Magus Rank: 10-star elementary mage]
[Element: Psychic]
[Energy Points: 0]
[Loyalty: 0]
[Evaluation: Traitor, a professional killer and a rapist]
[Murder: 30]
[R*pe: 23]
[Activate the punishment: Y/N]
Kadyn looked at him and said. "A person like you does not deserve to live."
As Kadyn's furious words rumbled in the Hall, Hicka started to scream as he fell on the ground, rolling and wriggling like a worm that he was. "Ahhh! Ahhh!! Stop this!!"
However Kadyn smiled and watched the process emotionlessly. He also knew nothing about what would happen in the end. A punishment worse than death, huh?
Anyone who saw Hicka's condition felt a chill in his spine. No one understood what was going on as Kadyn had just spoken to him and he started to scream like a crazy maniac. That made everyone even more fearful and apprehensive towards this teenager boy whom they had never put in their eyes.
After five minutes later Hicka stopped struggling and laid on the ground. If not for the twitching of his body, people would have thought that he had died. He slowly turned his gaze towards Kadyn and said with hatred and terror-filled broken voice. "My Elemental Pool~ give-give me back my Elemental Pool!"
At first Kadyn was confused, but then a thought occurred inside his head and his eyes widened. Then he snorted coldly. Serves you right. But then he thought, that doesn't sound like a punishment worse than death, right?
As this thought appeared inside Kadyn's head, something started to happen to Hicka that made even his face pale in fear. This was too much to watch!
