Chapter 255: Consequences of choices
A young man was waving his sword around furiously, his face was completely wrapped in bandages, and with each swing, he shot out various verbal curses.
*SLASH* *BANG* *BANG*
‘ Wang Jin, you bastard I’m going to kill you, how dare you humiliate me like that, Fuck, I’m going to torture you to death. ‘
Chang Ho cursed in his mind, he kept hitting the wooden practice model.
Chang Ho had never suffered such humiliation ever in his life, he could still remember the laughing faces of all the people from the crowd.
He was always praised for his Cultivation talent and battle instincts, so experiencing that was traumatic for him.
If Jayden had just defeated him normally, then he would just feel bad for it and would have a competitive spirit to defeat Jayden the next time, but Jayden had thoroughly humiliated Chang Ho in front of everyone by slapping his face and making that kind of bet.
Chang Ho has quite a strong background, his father works as the king’s consultant, and also for creating strategies for the battles.
‘ I will ask my father to destroy his energy core, then he would be nothing, humph he must be using some evil method to increase his strength so quickly.
Just you wait, Wang Jin I’ll return all this humiliation back to you hundred fold- ‘ he thought, giving himself excuses for Jayden being so powerful.
*BANG*
Just then, his thoughts were interrupted by the sudden sound of the door getting kicked open.
Turning around, he tried to look who had entered the room through his swollen eyes, as he spoke through the bandages:
” Wik bakard gares ku enker my roon iike gak? ” (Which bastard dares to enter my room like that?) Chang Ho shouted, but his voice was impossible to understand.
” Hey brother, how are you feeling? I was so worried about you, but you are already in such a good condition, enough to practice and curse like that. ”
Jayden spoke, walking into the room.
Narrowing his eyes and recognising his voice, Chang Ho finally understood who had entered the room.
‘ Ughh, why is he here? Yesterday’s events left such a deep trauma inside me that even this devil’s voice sent goosebumps all over my body. ‘
he thought, taking a few steps back.
” W- Wai arw yow here? ” (Why are you here?) He asked, placing his swords between them, as he stood there with shaky legs.
” Like I told you I just wanted to see if you are fine or not, but since you are completely alright, I guess you should fulfil your end of the bet. ”
Jayden said as he took a step forward and with a flick of his finger, Chang Ho’s sword was thrown away and got stuck in the wall.
*BANG*
” Ughhhh ” he felt sight numbness in his arms, as his palms suddenly became empty.
Then clenching his fists and suppressing the tremors Jayden’s simple move had sent through his entire body, Chang Ho spoke:
” L- Lek’s us forgek avout the b- bet. ”
Jayden frowned and spoke: ” You sound so annoying when you talk like that, let’s talk after you remove your bandages. ”
Then he pinches the bandage with his thumb and fore finger, and with a sudden movements, he pulls it away.
*TEARRR*
” Uwaaaaaaah, w- what are you doing? Aaaaah ”
Chang Ho cried out in pain, every part of his head was hurting like hell.
” Yes, that’s much better, now say what you were saying earlier. ” Jayden said with a satisfying smile.
Chang Ho gritted his teeth, he knew he is no match for Wang Jin and looking to the side he could clearly see the wooden sword whose more than half part was thrusted inside the wall, after suppressing his painful groans he spoke:
” L- Let’s just forget about it, y- you have already done so much to me, let’s both just think that it all never happened. ”
Jayden clicked his tongue and spoke: ” Huh, forget it? Are you an idiot, if you don’t do it right away I’m going to destroy your energy centre now. ” Jayden threatened him.
Chang Ho didn’t doubt his words, he knew that Jayden might really do it but still, he wanted to try everything he could:
” D- Do you think you will be safe inside the sect then? Not only will the sect punish you severely but you will also be hunted down by my father’s men.
You probably don’t know but my father has a close relationship with the king, so just forget about it before I change my mind, I’m showing you mercy since we are both from the same sect. ”
The more he spoke, the more confident he became, Chang Ho didn’t think Jayden without be stupid enough to challenge the king, but in reality, he just wanted to scare him off and planned to later have his revenge against Jayden.
” Hmmm, so you have the backing of the King? ” Jayden muttered.
” Y- Yeah that’s right, so get out of here before I get too angry. ” Chang Ho felt his trick was working, and if he succeeded in sending Jayden away, he would immediately ask his father for help.
” If I destroy your core right now or even if I kill you right now, will the king be able to help you? Maybe I should just kill you instead of wasting my time on you. ”
Jayden held a cruel expression on his face as he took a couple of steps towards Chang Ho.
” N- No wait, please let’s just talk it out, I- I… ” He fell back on his butt and began begging.
” Alright tell me what you have to say. ” Jayden questioned.
” L- Let’s just settle it with something else, right why don’t you ask for something else in place of that punishment, what do you want money, treasures, whatever it is, I’ll give it to you. ”
Chang spoke in desperation, there was no way he could walk around the sect in just his underwear, then he would never be able to show his face anywhere and even his father would lose face.
” Hmmm, something in place of the punishment? ” Jayden began thinking, as Chang Ho waited patiently.
” All right, then walk around the sect ten times on all four of your limbs like a dog, now that’s the most I can do, choose yourself. ”
Jayden said after a few seconds, his tone was firm.
” W- Walk around like a dog? You can’t be serious, please give me more options. ”
Chang Ho immediately refused it, doing this is just as bad as the first one, even if someone places a knife over his throat he can’t do such things.
” Hey, now you are making this really difficult for me. Fine, but this is your last chance. ” Jayden spoke, rubbing his forehead.
With hopeful eyes, Chang Ho waited for Jayden’s next words.
” Then, stand at the food pavilion and after that, you have to shout this a hundred times:
‘ I, Chang Ho, is a man with ten fathers. ‘, you can do that, right? Now that’s really the last. ” Jayden asks as he stood in front of Chang Ho with his arms crossed.
