Chapter 164: Mercy
” Oh, she did, haha I guess I’ll have to thank her for that. ” The leader said laughing lightly.
Then he looked at Jayden with a serious expression and spoke:
” Now, can you help me create a barrier around this place? ”
” What kind of barrier are you talking about? ” Jayden questioned.
” A barrier that could hide this place from the outside world and drive the surrounding beasts away. Is that possible? ” he asked, leaning forward.
If Jayden succeeds in making such a barrier then he would become the core of their village, but even if he didn’t manage to create such a barrier, he would still be useful with all his knowledge about arrays and talisman.
” Hmm… Hide this place and also drive the surrounding beasts away… ” Jayden pretends to be deep in thoughts, as he taps his finger on his chin.
” That is possible, but I’d need to create two barriers for that and it would need a lot of time and not to mention the large amount of beast cores. ” Jayden said.
Hearing his words, the leader was ecstatic he looked at Jayden in a new light, as if he was a peerless treasure. With a delighted expression, he spoke:
” You don’t have to worry about the beast cores and as for time, you can take as long as you need. ”
” So when can you start? ” he asked.
” I can start anytime, just have different batches of beasts’ cores prepared in advance since it’d be bad if I had to stop in the middle. ” Jayden said.
In reality, he can make such a barrier in less than ten minutes and didn’t need so much beast core for it, but asked just to use them for his own cultivation.
” Great, I’ll have the beast cores prepared, you can go and rest until then, and if you face any kind of difficulty in my Village you can report it directly to me. ”
The leader said, his heart was swelling with joy, if Jayden succeeds in making it, the security of their village would instantly be increased by more than ten times.
” And you all have to listen to him, treat him just like you treat me. ” the leader added.
Hearing his words, all the members present their had ugly expressions, they were hoping Jayden to fail and lose his value in their leader’s eyes. That would make it easier for them to kill him, after all.
All the bandits were feeling threatened, they clearly remembered the looks in the eyes of all the women, and knew that all of them were completely smitten with him.
Jayden casually walked out of the hall, but not before showing a smirk to the bandit who had escorted him.
‘ I’ll be done with my cultivation soon, then I’ll return back to the Kingdom. ‘ he thought: ‘ But before going back I should help Mulan a bit. ‘
He was planning on making Mulan the new Village head and either kill the current leader or just make him a slave for the village.
As Jayden walked, his eyes landed on a person who was carrying heavy buckets of water. He focussed and somehow felt that he looked familiar.
Walking towards him, Jayden called you:
” Aye slave, wait a minute. ”
Listening to him, the slave turned around and looked at Jayden, and as soon as his eyes landed on Jayden, his face distorted into a deep frown.
He glared at Jayden in anger and shouted:
” It’s you, Wang Jin, just wait you bastard I’m going to tear you to pieces. ”
” Ah… Peng? Is that really you? ” Jayden asked as he finally recognised him.
He looked nothing like his previous self, his clothes looked ragged, one of his arms was broken, his face was swollen and had cuts and bruises all over.
Seeing his miserable condition, Jayden almost felt bad, almost. Looking around, Jayden saw a bandit walking nearby, waving his hand he called him.
” Hey you, come here. Yes you, hurry up. ”
The bandit looked around and then pointed to himself, with a questioning look, after seeing that Jayden was calling him, the bandit walked towards him.
As he walked, he recognised Jayden as the man who have the knowledge of talisman and array formations.
‘ It’s only been a day since he came into this village, and he already have become so important for the leader, if I could get acquainted with him I’d be able to get many benefits. ‘ he thoughts.
” How can I help you? ” the bandit asked respectfully.
” This slave here, ” Jayden said pointing towards Peng: ” is showing disrespect towards me and this village, I want you to discipline him properly. Some beating will do and then throw him in a cage with some hungry beasts, just make sure that he doesn’t die. ”
Jayden said, a cruel smile on his face. Peng’s legs trembled, and hearing his words almost gave him a heart attack. Even the bandit looked at Jayden with shock, he didn’t expect Jayden to be so cruel with how he looked.
Mo Peng looked at Jayden with pitiful eyes and pleaded: ” Wang Jin- no big brother, we’re from the same sect, p-please spare me, I-I’ll become your personal slave. Nooooooooo ”
*THUD*
Jayden stood there with an indifferent expression, as the bandit began to drag Peng, the water bucket fell to the ground splashing water all around.
Jayden being the kind hearted person he was, couldn’t see him go through such treatment when he was begging like that. After a few seconds, he spoke:
” Yes, he is my fellow sect member so I can’t be too harsh on him… ”
Peng finally heaved a sigh of relief as he thanked his luck, while cursed Jayden in his mind, he made a promise to himself, to kill Jayden in the future no matter what.
” Th-thank you, brother Wang Ji- ”
” Just beat him up a little, then put him in a cage and place it in the middle of different beasts. Also, I heard he loves to shove things up his ass, so you can send him to pleasure those men who aren’t straight. ”
Jayden said, then showed a sincere smile towards Peng as if he had done a big favour for him.
” N-No, the f-first one, I’m fine with the previous punishment… Please just throw me in front of the beasts- aghhhhhhh~ ”
*BANG*
Peng stared at Jayden in horror and began to beg to revert his punishment to the previous one, until a strong fist hit his belly, almost knocking him out.
As Jayden walked away, he muttered: ” Sigh, I’m such a kind person, I show mercy even to my enemies. ”
The bandit that was taking Peng away stumbled and almost fell down listening to his words, this is mercy? Then what would be the punishment if he didn’t show mercy?
Just thinking of this, he shivered and decided to do his best to follow his orders, and began to drag Peng to a desolate area.
…
” You have become such a bad boy, Jayden, you were so innocent the first time I saw you. ” Anna said in a low voice.
She still remembered how he was when the first she saw him, he was smart but not this cruel and cunning.
