Chapter 2066 Boiling Rumors
Stone walked to the target.
He has not intention of letting his target escape and he also has not intention of dealing with the lackeys directly. At this moment, his goal is to inflict damage on the target and the target only.
*PAK*
He threw another slap on his face.
The target fell back on the floor as he looked at Stone in horror.
"Who are you? Do you know who my brother is? Do you know who my father is?" He finally managed to speak up a bit and hurriedly threatened.
However, Stone couldn't give two fucks.
"Why are you asking me who your brother and father are? Didn't your mother tell you? Or even she doesn't know who your father is?"
Stone didn't speak out an swear words, however the venomous intent in his words couldn't be more apparent. The target became furious.
"YOU…" *PAK*
His words were cut short by a crisp slap. However this time the lackeys saw a very small and thin red colored object fly off of the spot Stone slapped on.
It is a layer of skin and with a slap it flew off of the target's face. It went and hit the lackey who was standing not too far away.
The cut was smooth and even the outline of that rectangular layer was very precise and accurate to the point it looked like it was cut by a machine.
The target felt so shocked that he even forgot to scream. Air got trapped in his lungs and didn't even let him cry out loud. He watched as Stone's body morphed a bit. His muscles changed, they became denser and leaner and even his bones seemed to have changed their length.
Particularly the bones in his palms. When he opened his palm, from the sideways it looked like a real blade with the spiritual energy coming out of it.
"Save me, you bastards. What are you looking at?"
The target screamed at his lackeys who were too stunned to make a move. When they heard these words, they came back to their senses and started attacking.
The next few seconds felt like a dream to everyone that was watching the whole scene.
Stone looked like he was made of rubber, no matter where the attack came from, he dodged it easily and the worst part is he didn't even move more than a couple of free from where he originally stood and he didn't even stop attacking the target.
*PAK*
*PAK*
*PAK*
Each attack made by him took a layer of skin from the spot where the slap landed. "ARGHH,,,"
The target kept on screaming his lungs out. He couldn't bear the pain. This is the worst type of torture he could imagine. He wanted to go down on his knees, beg and plead his torturer to leave him alone.
Only problem is that Stone has not intention of even letting him raise his head up.
He kept on slapping and soon the cuts were deep enough for the blood to seep out a rapid rate. Everyone watched as the target crawled forward while leaving a thick trial of blood. His expensive clothes are ragged and torn apart.
He is bloody with dozens of injuries. Some are so deep they could see the bone. The target barely held to his life.
By now the lackeys actually lost all the energy and fell to their knees exhausted. They didn't understand how Stone managed to dodge all the attacks. He bent his spin in unnatural angles. One second his back was there and the next second it disappeared with a ridiculous twist.
When they tried to attack his arms or legs while he was throwing the attacks, he is bending his whole body in a weird angle to let the attack through. He is like a weirdly made gooey puppet that could land a hit no matter what.
For these lackeys, it felt like they were training their precision and failing excellently.
However, when they saw the state of the target, they didn't hesitate and ran. Both of them ran in different directions. One of them went and found the nearest city guards and the other went to find the brother of the lackey.
Stone saw them go and Sam even told him that something like will happen if he succeeded in his attack. He wasn't panicked in the least, in fact he waited for them to bring someone to stop this.
In fact he thought they would have gone sooner.
The lackey who went after the city guards succeeded in bringing the guards the first. They surrounded Stone and yelled.
"Stop. You are under arrest."
Stone didn't resist. He let himself be arrested and cooperated. By the time the City guards took Stone away for the juidicial proceedings, the brother of the target finally made an appearance. He couldn't find his brother there though.
The City guards took him away to give some treatment.
The target's brother went to check on his brother. Time passed and in a few hours, Stone is standing in for the trial. He only had one thing to say as Sam instructed.
"I demand a trial by combat."
That is all he has to say and the enforcer who was sitting to judge the trial and pass on the punishment didn't even bother with the case anymore. The only they asked is if the target will be ready to actually fight against Stone.
They had to wait for him to wake up before that could happen and Stone has stay in the prison cell until then. Apart from the restriction of the prison cell, he doesn't even have restrains on his body.
Sam who was observing the whole process from the dark smiled in satisfaction.
"I better get going too."
Sam knew things wouldn't go bad for now, so he decided to proceed with the plans from his side as well. As of now, his team is already on the move, they are taking the missions already.
Even the Noble League didn't start hoarding the missions yet, but Sam's team is already on the move. Sam entered the Gambler Academy mission hall. Unlike a lot of his friends, he has much more freedom in choosing these missions.
Because he can finish the missions in other categories as well.
His first focus is on the gathering missions. There are several resource gathering missions placed by seniors in auxiliary professional departments. They will give him few coins. They might not give out a lot, however, they are high in number.
So, he can accumulate quite a large number of coins from them without much effort. Since he actually has enough man power to finish this off easily.
The problem is, he cannot sign up for such a large number of missions at the same time and has to finish them one by one. When Sam looked at the list though, he couldn't help but smirk a little.
His luck is really good.
There are a bunch of missions that he could sign up and finish that very instant, because he has the goods stored with him.
So, the very first time Sam stepped in the mission hall, he finished ten resource gathering missions. Even the receptionist felt speechless.
Sam memorized all the items that he needs to gather and got out. He knew where he could get most of these things. A lot of things could even be bought with money without much effort. So, he started hoarding and finishing.
The very first day, he had an incredible record completely twenty-five missions.
After the resource gathering missions are done, Sam got an idea, so he contacted Nalan to execute it immediately. Meanwhile, he focused on other types of missions. Some are hunting missions, some missions are for assistance in auxiliary professions.
Some missions are about escort services, some are messenger missions.
Sam didn't discriminate. As long as he could finish it fast, he was interested in and started doing missions. Even though the accumulation of coins didn't impact his financial situation, a lot of missions were taken away by him from the others.
The moves are set in motion and the whole realm will shake within the next two weeks. If only the hubs in other areas are finished construction a bit faster, the impact would be double.
While Sam and his friends are dealing with the missions, Stone's trial was finished. He beat the crap out of the brother who took up the mantle as the champion for the target. Even though it was a close fight to a certain extent, he still won and with his enhanced healing, he was already looking normal by the time he came out of the arena.
By that night the whole Olympian region is boiling with a few rumors.
The hottest one is still about the special training program of the Hub. For some reason, the news has spread that the Hub has agreed to sign a special contract with the Noble League.
So, everyone is mad at the Hub for showing such discrimination.
