As the gold coin tumbled in the air, all eyes remained on it.
Before the coin even came down, Eros used his walking stick as a bat against the coin.
*SWOOUSH--CHUNK!*
Once again, another unfortunate victim was sent ahead of time to the underworld.
Captain Bulk saw this in his boiling anger, he no longer cared that Eros was a noble, "FIRE!"
He ordered.
The arrows released.
*MIRAGE STEPS!!!*
Eros used his movement technique. Since the last time he used it, he had grown very far in strength.
The Eros back on the ship or even the Black Island was a far different Eros from the one that was here.
All the incoming Arrows seemed to slow down in mid air.
It was almost as if their speed had become a crawl before his eyes.
This was just how fast he was moving and his mind was calculating things.
Arrows!? what a joke. Even if it had been bullets, Eros would have still treated them as such.
The many benefits that using Primordial Energy allowed him were many times off the charts of common reasoning.
Eros moved. Effortlessly, he moved in between the arrows. Charging through their narrow gaps.
As he did, Gold coins appeared in his hands from the spatial ring.
One after another, he embedded them with his rich and original Primordial energy.
Sending out shots at every head that entered his sight.
By the time the arrows had reached the wall behind Eros's former position, the soldiers all had gold coins in their skulls.
Like a crowd sitting down after a standing ovation, the soldiers fell on after the other to the ground.
Only a few minutes, they had been at the pinnacle of enjoyment and bliss. Enjoying the gratification of having an easy win, and now, they were all dead.
All of them were dead except two people.
One of them was a regular soldier. Eros had kept him alive intentionally, and the second one was captain Bulk.
Captain bulk looked around himself in obvious shock. He could not believe what he was seeing. Rather, he did not want to believe it.
Sometimes, the shock of reality was too much for one to handle.
Surprisingly, he was not the only one that was shocked by this.
Lady frostbite had been observing what was happening from a corner wall.
She had watched as the old man that had borrowed money from her and then pretended to have died caused total chaos in the lives of the unfortunate soldiers that had abused his home.
Just like many, she had heard the rumours that Eros was not a cultivator, and truly, she was thinking of just sending word back home for her soldiers to come and lend a hand.
However, Eros had floored almost thirty soldiers on his own. And all he had used as a weapon was mere gold coins.
All their years of training with the blade, and in the end, they died by the 'Money!'
As she watched him make holes in the head of every soldier, she could not help but swallow slightly as her teeth bit down on her lower lip.
This had been an instinctive reaction of hers. She herself had not noticed this. She had also not noticed that she had tightened her legs.
"You know, raising good children is never easy," as Eros spoke, he slowly advanced towards Captain Bulk, "giving them a lot of love and care, and support. Not to talk Validation, Again and again, is a great investment. In fact, it is the greatest investment there is. There is no gold or silver or precious stone that could compete with all those years in a child's life."
Eros paused in front of the captain.
Size-wise, Eros was as tall man's chest. However, Captain bulk felt as if he was not the one looking down on Eros but the other way around.
This greatly vexed him.
However, Eros could care less about his feelings. He continued his speech. Even though he knew it would have no effect on this guy, he still talked either way. He just really wanted to vent his vex.
"Have you ever met a merchant before? those guys are the greatest at investments. They can take great risks and go to great lengths just to enjoy the fruits of it in their later years." Eros did not even have the Captain in his eyes as he spoke.
Instead of looking at the captain's face, he was looking at the ground.
This greatly vexed captain Bulk.
He was a very proud man. He had enjoyed his position for a long time, and he was very respected. However, Eros had not only killed his men but had also looked down on him.
"How dare you look down on ME!"
he reached for his sword and his soul energy went out in all directions.
Eros was strong but Captain Bulk could feel it.
yes! his own cultivation was higher than Eros's. He raised his big broad sword high in the air.
Instantly filling it with soul energy, and then he brought in down in a diagonal hack for Eros.
However, moments before the sword would reach the baron, Eros suddenly and slowly looked up.
His eyes and that of the Captain met in place.
The sword paused only two inches from Eros's body.
*Clank!*
The broad sword suddenly fell to the ground and so did Captain Bulk on his knees.
Tears slowly fell from his eyes, as he muttered lowly, "ple...se! please... for... forgive me!"
Eros placed a hand on the man's head, "where is my Granddaughter!?"
Captain Bulk stuttered a little, "she... she was taken by Baron Bolos. He plans to use her as a gift to the Viscount on his oncoming birthday party."
The moment Eros heard those words his anger was sharply displayed in the Soul energy that oozed out of his body.
Captain Bulk was the closest to Eros and noticed this. "Please, spare me. I... I was only doing the wish of my Baron!"
"Hmmm!" Eros nodded, "I know! it's not your fault." Eros patted him gently on the head, "do you remember that thing I told you about investments?"
Captain Bulk nodded like a pecking chicken.
"Good! unfortunately for you, I hate Looses!"
Eros lifted his hand and patted Captain Bulk one more time.
*SPLASH!*
Captain Bulk was instantly smashed into...
