Chapter 237 237:One Word...Answer In One Word
Before passing out, due to immense beating and the pummeling he got, Roan coughed out the perpetrator's name which took Lucas by surprise.
For further confirmation, Lucas kept asking around near the infirmary to find the group of three.
It was none other than that fucker Floyd that made future Lucas' life hell.
This time instead of him, it was Roan who was bullied which drew Lucas' attention to the miraculous fate that always had a cause and effect.
A person who gained one thing that was not in his destiny was bound to lose another thing. It also made Lucas wonder whether he did the right thing by helping Roan as he didn't want Roan's future to get disarrayed and be filled with chaos.
However, all those were things to worry about in the future and he needed to focus now.
"Good way to fuck yourself. You had a few more days to live but you decided to shit yourself by provoking me. I didn't look for you to settle the score but you eagerly offered yourself to me."
"Good…Good. I will make sure to squeeze the interest out of his misery."
Lucas' heart started burning with a burst of anger that almost made him lose his sense of reason. Since he had personally witnessed their brutal assault and torture, he knew these guys were no less than a beasts in human clothing.
RING!
[Lucas, just how many times are you gonna take over the Horizon server as if you own it? I might be one of the best hackers but I am definitely not the best. If we keep doing this, someone will surely notice and we may get in trouble one day and I will definitely not save your ass if they reach out to me.]
Lucas stared at Scotch's grumbling message but he ignored it.
Inhaling deeply, he walked towards the roof of the 1st Year Academy Institution.
On reaching the door, he could hear the sound of laughter and mockery.
"Juniors of this year, don't last long."
CLICK!
With a subtle clicking sound, the door opened.
It was then that Lucas pulled out his sword to deliver a lightning-fast slash.
A red line went past Floyd's hands that was retracting back. Following the red line, the hand shot back spurted blood.
Things happened so fast, that it took the bewildered Floyd a moment to understand what was going on.
Snapping his head, he saw his right arm missing and he opened his lips to scream but a figure flashed before him and a strong pain coursed through his body jolting his mind.
BOOM!
Appearing right before him, Lucas punched Floyd's huge body that shot back slamming against the two sidekicks behind.
"Aaghhhhh!"
"Ughhhhhh!"
"Argh!''
"Bastard, how dare you do this? Don't you know the repercussions of doing this in the Academy's premise?" Floyd clutched his missing arm and roared angrily.
"You got some nice voice lads but we can't let others hear it, can we?" With a smile, Lucas pulled out a piece of paper engraved with magic runes and tore it off.
It was a magic silencer barrier developed by Roan that created a noise-blocking barrier.
A gleam encompassed the place and soon mana around the place enveloped creating a barrier to stop the sound from passing out.
Walking out, Lucas closed the door and stared at the three with a surge of emotions.
Floyd rolled around shrieking like a mad beast.
"Who the fuck are you?" One of them screamed and raised his fist to attack.
"Useless." Lucas tilted his body a bit to dodge and slapped.
SLAP!
A loud crackling sound echoed following which two pieces of teeth shot out from his jaws.
"I got you."
Another one came from behind Lucas and extended his huge arms to grapple him but as he closed his arms, he only held a handful of air.
"What....?"
BOOM!
A huge hammer slammed his head knocking him down.
BANG!
Knocking the two, with the huge hammer over his shoulder, Lucas walked towards Floyd with a menacing smile.
Floyd's whole body trembled as a huge shadow cast over his body frightening him.
"Who are you?"
"You ... .Don't you dare. Our screams might have alerted others and they might be on their way here."'Floyd spoke, sweating profusely.
"No one can hear your voices and as for that camera, it isn't working," Lucas answered with a venomous tone frightening Floyd.
"Why are you doing this?"
Lucas squatted down before Floyd and laughed aloud, staring at his terrified eyes.
"You hit my friend. Broke his arms again and again and then asked me who I was and why am I doing this."
"Are you kidding me?"
"Uhhh, that....Liste-"
Before he could speak, Lucas smashed the hammer over Floyd's face without any mercy.
"Bastards like you only talk after getting beaten to a pulp."
BOOM!
Soon, a hardcore sound of thrashing shook the whole place.
...
After half an hour, Floyd opened his eyes.
"Where am I?"
"What am I doing here?"
Several questions flashed over his mind but instead of answers, he got an influx of mind-numbing pain as if all the bones in his body had been crushed into pieces along with flesh being ripped apart.
His lips opened wide to scream but no sound came out from it.
After a few minutes, his vision returned to normal, all he saw was blood.
Everywhere he looked was bathed in blood.
On rotating his head, what greeted his vision almost made him piss.
His limbs had been twisted and deformed by an unknown angel.
Several spikes had been lodged onto his body and erupted from the ground.
His legs, knees, thighs, arms, and palms have been impaled. Except for the vital organs, his body had been pierced with spikes and then he found that several sets of his front teeth were missing.
And to add further fear, many sharp spike shreds were floating around his neck, digging lightly as if warning him that he would be killed at any moment from now.
And while he was at the end of the rope, the guy who was responsible for all this was playing Subway Surfer on his smartphone with an indifferent expression as if he was done just planting a scarecrow in the fields.
His two sidekicks lay on the ground with bleak eyes and toothless gums while the man used them as chairs and sat on their blood-drenched bodies but there wasn't a single drop of blood on him.
Unbeknownst to him, tears started to slide down his cheek as a question started ringing repeatedly in his mind.
'Who the fuck did I mess with?'
'And why the hell did I mess with a friend of such a psychopath? If I knew this, I wouldn't have dared to offend such a guy.'
"Oh, so you are already awake, huh?''
Lucas, putting down his smartphone, observed micro-to-macro changes in Floyd's expression.
"I will ask you a question and you have to answer me in one fucking word."
"So, say whose order was this?"
Floyd's eyes widened and he swallowed his saliva.
"Seeing your expression, it seems I was correct. There is someone behind you."
Remembering that cold guy, Floyd's voice stuttered...
"I...There is no on-...ooooooooooooo!!"
A loud groan echoed as a spike, just went past Floyd's waist tearing his skin.
"One word." Lucas interjected.
"Be...Believe me...there is no one."
Lucas' expression darkened and standing up, he walked closer towards Floyd.
Extending his hand, he touched the gut of Floyd.
'My telekinesis skill had gone up by a margin after the breakthrough. Let's do this.'
With a bone-chilling smile, Lucas sneered.
"It seems you had a hearing problem. I said…No, I ordered you to answer me in one fucking word."Lucas spoke loudly and twisted his palm.
Floyd's face distorted due to an intense agony as if his internals had been set ablaze.
PFT!
At the next moment, a jet of blood erupted from his lips followed by a heavy pain. His throat felt dry and it was burnt like hell. He wanted to scream but his voice was hoarse and no words came out.
Lucas pulled his hand immediately and wiped his sweat. If he had applied a little more strength, he might have completely burst this guy's internal organs.
"I will ask for the very last time. If you don't say this one word or dare to add another word or an additional, I swear in the name of God that the next thing that I will crush will end your entire fucking bloodline."
"So, say who ordered you to do this?!" Lucas shouted.
"Eon!" Floyd answered. He wanted to speak more and plead guilty but managed to force himself to shut up for fear of irking that guy.
He was hundr… no, a thousand percent sure that this guy might do what he said.
"Issac!" Lucas mumbled with confusion but it disappeared in the next second as he connected the dots quickly.
"Isaac, did he say this to you directly?" Lucas asked skeptically.
"No, he relayed this message through Eon and promised to delete videos of my ill-doings.'' Floyd relayed everything he knew.
"Eon, isn't that Isaac's dog?" Lucas's eyes blinked.
"He won't target Ro…No, he is exactly the type of guy who would do this."
After hearing Floyd's words, Lucas realized something. There were many like Floyd whom Lucas heard gossip about but they weren't able to act because they didn't have evidence or videos.
Lucas initially thought they were playing dirty somewhere where there was no third eye. Moreover, with all those things happening in the past few months neither he nor Julian has time to look for these things.
"It seems Issac is not only covering for them but he is also keeping those records as leverage to use these scum. Since no one is monitoring the camera 24/7, he is taking out important information."
"Hmm!'' Lucas nodded and waved his hand freeing Floyd from his hell.
Then he threw three high-grade portions, taking it wouldn't leave any mark for them to use against him.
"Take this right before my eyes and before giving it to your goons, fix their teeth in their sockets and then make them drink. Do this right now." Lucas ordered in a commanding tone and Floyd immediately sprang into action.
Lucas then fell into deep contemplation for a moment. He can use this but striking Issac with this alone was quite laughable as his influence was deeply rooted.
At that time his smartphone rang and when opening it, he found that it was from the Administration.
On accepting the call, a cold voice emerged from the other side.
[Student Lucas, you are immediately asked to appear in the Trial room of the Council within the next day at 9am. Failing to appear will result in you being suspended indefinitely and may even be expelled in the future.]
After relaying the message, the call was cut off abruptly, leaving Lucas staring at his smartphone screen blankly.
"What the hell? Was I really found out after taking so many measures?"
