Chapter 372 One Vs Five
?"If there is no other person with the same name, then it would be me," Yuan remarked angrily, his face twisting in displeasure as they peered at his women with a list.
"Good. We believe we have found the individual we were looking for." The man smiled broadly as he turned to face his colleagues, who chuckled at his expression.
'They are looking for me?' Yuan squinted his eyes at the figure dressed strangely in black; he remembered Miss Zara's description perfectly.
'Isn't this the person Miss Zara mentioned? He's dressed strangely and hides his face with black clothes.'
'It appears that he is not alone; he is accompanied by four other persons.' Yuan pondered, and then a weird smile came on his face.
He has some suspicions about why the Golden Skull is hunting for them; after all, they caused quite a stir by demonstrating his prowess in front of the entire Monbrook City.
And he was confident that rumors about him and his wives had traveled over the continent, piquing the interest of many influential individuals and organizations.
"Trevor, let's not waste our precious time, let's immediately get the secret out of him and have some fun with those beautiful ladies standing beside him."
One of the four people standing behind Trevor spoke out, discreetly licking his lips beneath the mask as his gaze landed on Yuan's wives' attractive figures.
"That's correct, Trevor. Stop dozing off like that and let's achieve what we wanted." Wade replied, nodding and keeping his gaze locked on the gathering of beauties.
Everyone has the same lecherous expression on their faces, and even if they are disguising it, Yuan and his wives can see it clearly.
Not only Yuan but also his wives are enraged by the group of criminals who obstructed their passage for unknown reasons and have lecherous feelings towards them.
Lily, in particular, wanted to peel their skin and rub salt on their skinless bodies to show them hell while they were still alive.
Trevor and his friend's expressions changed to furious wrath when they saw Yuan's wife's furious expression, but they kept their cool and approached Yuan with calm expressions.
"Yuan, just as the rumor says, you really have a face that every woman would die to be with…" Trevor smiled smugly as he spoke into Yuan's ears. "Not only that, you have gathered a group of incredibly beautiful women to be your wives…"
"Stop wasting time and get right to the point. I despise it when someone interrupts my enjoyable moments with my wives." Yuan spoke in a frigid tone, his face contorted in annoyance at the arrogance of the Golden Skull organization's dog.
"Well, are we becoming impatient? Well, I am also a man of few words." Trevor chuckled.
Placing his palm on Yuan's shoulder, he whispered, "I want the secret to your mysterious strength; give it to me and I'll kill you quickly and take good care of your women with my friends."
"What did you just say?!" A vein appeared on Yuan's forehead, and his blood was boiling with wrath.
"Huh? Didn't you hear what I said? Are you fucking deaf?"
Trevor grows enraged at Yuan for not paying heed to his comments; he was a key member of the continent's most dangerous criminal organization, and this youngster wasn't taking him seriously.
A few seconds later, Yuan looked at him while nodding his head, and mumbled, "I see now... So you're after the key of our strength and my women, huh?"
"Hahaha. Good. Now that you understand why we're here, tell us the secret or we'll torment you until you die, begging for death." Grant laughed and spoke.
Yuan clinched his fists hard after hearing their brash statements about simple mutts, and he wanted to crush their faces.
"I know you're incredibly powerful. But don't underestimate our abilities; we're five, and you're alone after all." Cody said this with a big grin on his face as if they had complete control.
"Oh, it seems you guys came prepared." Yuan's eerie, homicidal grin formed on his face, sending shivers down their spines.
'What the hell was that just now!? Is it simply his smile that makes me scared? This is ridiculous!' Trevor thought as his face became soaked with sweat.
Trevor, Wade, and Cody all felt a shiver down their spines and immediately became cautious as they drew out their magic wands.
"Be prepared. He appears enraged and ready to use magic before he has moved a single muscle in his body!"
Chase warned them instantly, pointing his magic wand at Yuan and preparing to cast his spell before Yuan could move an inch.
""Right!""
Grant, Cody, and Wade quickly nodded and aimed their magic wand toward Yuan, sweating profusely as the eerie silence of the surroundings contributed to the creepiness of the situation.
Trevor, unlike his friends, was not terrified at all; instead, he was smiling.
"That's correct. After all, I can't take such a big risk by confronting you; I'd be an idiot if I did. Wade grinned at Yuan, confident that he could defeat him and obtain the knowledge for himself.
"I see…" Yuan grinned, but his expression altered abruptly, revealing a very frigid smile. "But, are you sure that a mere mortal such as yourself would be able to defeat this One?"
"Bastard! Are you questioning my strength?" Trevor's face contorted in disgust as he yelled at Yuan. "I'm a core member of the infamous Golden Skull organization, do you think I'm the same as the lowly mages you've defeated in the past?"
"Hahah!" Trevor laughed and added, "I see now, so you are not planning to hand over the secret to us, makes sense given that it made you all become so strong at such a young age..."
"In that case, prepare yourself for a very painful death…" Trevor spoke grimly before casting a magic spell and shooting a gigantic ball of fire toward Yuan.
"Do you really believe such a slow onslaught will get me? How foolish!" Yuan grinned before vanishing and reappearing before Trevor.
'Oh shit!' Trevor watched in surprise as Yuan appeared in front of him.
Bang! Crack!
Yuan delivered a hard punch to Trevor's midsection, and a crackling sound of bone shattering could be heard. The strike sent Trevor flying at his four teammates.
Trevor hit the four of them before they could do anything, knocking them to the ground and causing everyone to cry in pain.
*Cough! * Trevor choked up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground in agony, unable to feel anything below his chest.
The pain was so great that he wanted to pass out, but he clenched his teeth in frustration and attempted to stay awake, afraid he would be killed if he fell unconscious.
'What the hell is with that monstrous power and speed?!! Is he even human?'
'Damn it. My attempt to learn the secret to get stronger has failed horribly.' Trevor sobbed inside, looking at his lower body.
He saw that his spine had been shattered and dislocated by the punch, and he could also feel internal bleeding.
"Grant, Cody, Chase, and Wade, what the hell are you doing, kill that bastard!" Trevor summoned all of his strength and yelled at his companions.
They glanced at Yuan with malicious expressions on their faces, and seeing their dear buddy lying on the ground made them tremendously enraged.
Their faces became red when they saw what had happened to their comrade.
Chase yelled at Yuan at the top of his lungs as the situation approached a boiling point. "Y-YOU BASTARD! How dare you lay your filthy hands on Trevor?!"
"I WILL KILL YOU, BASTARD!! You have to pay for doing this to Trevor!!"
"NOW, DIEEEE!! Wind Magic; Slash of Thousand Blades!" Chase pointed his wand at Yuan and used his magic, making the area slightly windy.
In a moment, thousands of blades with a green aura erupted in the air, each looking very sharp and threatening.
Yuan saw this and extended his hand, revealing the Empyreal Oblivion, which surprised the gathering of criminals who had heard rumors of this sword.
'Is that the rumored big sword?' They thought as they gulped uncomfortably, feeling the air suddenly thicken.
"It's useless for you to fight us with a sword!" Cody yelled at Yuan before using his own powers.
"That's correct. You should give up fighting and give us the secret!" Wade stated as he used his magic.
Suddenly, a giant lightning spear and hundreds of massive water balls appeared in the air, causing the surrounding air to quake and send shockwaves sweeping over the area.
"Bring it on, you bunch of arrogant fools…" Yuan spoke calmly while pointing his sword at the four criminals.
The crooks fire their magic attack at Yuan with a flick of their wand, and as their spells fly towards him, they smile widely.
"Die, bastard, so we can enjoy the beautiful women you have...We may not acquire the secret from you, but we can get some pleasure from your spouses." Chase muttered with an anticipatory expression on his face, and his comrades nodded.
"One Sword One Strike!"
Suddenly, Yuan's voice echoed over the street, and a giant sword arc raced through it, colliding with the criminals' magic spells and killing them in an instant.
Booommm!!
The air trembled in response to the tremendous explosion, and the powerful shockwave that followed destroyed some of the buildings.
"T- This is...This cannot be happening." The criminals looked at Yuan in surprise as their spells were quickly shattered.
*Step* *Step*.
When the four criminals heard Yuan's footsteps approaching them, their expressions grew very pale, and for the first time in their lives, they felt terror and fear of death.
Yuan sneered and said, "Be prepared to face the consequences of looking at my woman with your filthy eyes...I'm going to take you all on a tour of hell!"
Yuan gave them a wicked smile. "I hope you enjoy every second of it…"
