BAAAM!
Hou Jiaming was put to unconsciousness by Hou Yan with a hand slash on the neck. Afterward, Hou Yan hid Hou Jiaming in a corner and waited for another one to come and check up on him.
----------------------
Hou Bin and Hou Yung Sang were enjoying their drinks and chatting with one another. Their chatting continued for a while when they realized that Hou Jiaming wasn't back yet. Since Hou Bin was the alpha of the group, he told Hou Yung Sang to check up on him.
Hou Yung Sang was grumbling about how lazy and bossy Hou Bin was.
He entered inside the bathroom and saw Hou Jiaming's body laying on the corner unconscious.
"Hou Bin come quick! Hou Jiaming passed out!"
Although it wasn't a serious matter to call his boss if Hou Jiaming just passed out, he still wanted to ruin Hou Bin's relaxing mood.
----------------------
Hou Yan was elated when he saw Hou Yung Sang walk into the bathroom and waited for the chance when he was most vulnerable. What made him even happier was that this fellow was calling his other brother over. Hou Yan truly wanted to shout thank you to Hou Yang Sang kiss his cheek multiple times.
Hou Yan struck at Hou Yang Sang's back while he wasn't aware and knocked him unconscious. He then moved Hou Yung Sang and put him on top of Hou Jiaming and went back to his corner.
Hou Bin came into the bathroom and saw both Hou Yung Sang and Hou Jiaming passed out. Although he was sort of wary that there might be someone behind those attacks, he mostly thought it was his lackeys were trying to prank him.
"Alright, you got me both of you. Come on get up. Where are the cameras?"
While Hou Bin was going on about being pranked by his brothers, he sensed the slight fluctuation of the air and immediately ducked down. If Hou Bin didn't have his guard up he would have most likely fallen for the strike.
Hou Yan was surprised by this and immediately jumped back. Then he pushed forward with a chute lateral but Hou Bin was able to block it due to sensing the fluctuation of the air.
Hou Yan didn't give up and immediately went for an uppercut, which would be able to go between Hou Bin's hand defense and his body. The upper jab aimed for Hou Bin's chin.
Because Hou Bin couldn't actually see the attacks and was only sensing the fluctuation of the air, he wasn't able to block the uppercut in time. Hou Bin was knocked unconscious.
With all of them unconscious right now, Hou Yan tied them up and was going to interrogate them. Since he wasn't allowed to kill them, he decided to tie them up and beat them up till they were half dead.
After all three were conscious again, they looked around to see what had happened.
"Why did you try to kill me back at the forest?"
The first thing they heard was a question from a voice they were a bit familiar with. Cold sweat was dripping from their back as they could swear to god they had killed this kid. How was he alive? Just from that voice, they knew it was him.
"Hmph, you think we would answer your question? You weakling, you better kowtow to me or else I will beat the sh*t out of you!"
Hou Bin, being the boss, was the first one to speak up and his voice carried an arrogant tone. He tried to stand up and rip the ropes apart but all of a sudden, he felt excruciating pain from his whole body.
"ARGHHHHHHHHHH! What the hell have you done to me!?!?"
"Nothing much, just beat the sh*t out of you guys so you won't be able to fight back."
Hou Bin was now actually somewhat scary. He was in a situation where he could do nothing against the opposite opponent while the opposite opponent could do anything to him, like pulling out his nails one by one.
Hou Yan wasn't a devil but he wasn't a saint either. He wanted to get his revenge back on them so he decided to 'punish' them a little.
"Hehe, you won't answer my question huh? You know what they say, your actions come with consequences. Now then, let me bestow upon you your consequence. Hehe, hehe, hehehehehehe"
Tears could be seen forming on all of the trio's eyes. They were scared witless. How are they going to get out of this situation?
Because Hou Jiiaming was the youngest and lacked the endurance needed for such kind of situations he surrendered.
"WAIT WAIT WAIT! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME! WE REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO KILL YOU! IT WAS ONE OF THE GRAND ELDERS WHO INSTRUCTED US TO DO CARRY OUT SUCH A SCHEME AND LEAVE YOUR DEAD BODY ON THE FOREST. HE SAID HE WILL GIVE US 10 GOLD IF WE SUCCEED!"
Hou Jiaming was crying so hard, a puddle was forming on his spot. He was scared witless when he saw Hou Yan's gaze. He has never seen such an evil gaze that could rip a mortal's soul into pieces.
The other two were furious right now. How could Hou Jiaming do such a thing? Did he forget the consequences if such news got out? What was he, a retard? ARGHHH! so frustration on how he can't keep his slippery tongue shut in his mouth.
Hou Yan was startled. He didn't think that one of his kinsmen would actually plot against him.
"Which grand elder? Name him or else..."
"IT'S HOU BEI BI!"
Hou Yan was actually stunned! To think his own father would plot against him. But on second thought, Hou Yan thought the reason would probably be due to his low innate talent, becoming a 'servant' disciple, and worst of all, being a useless sh*t who didn't have much will to do anything. Still, trying to assassinate your own son was really ruthless and despicable.
Hou Yan kicked each of them on the nuts and left. He could hear them groaning in pain but he didn't care as he let them off easily.
'YEEEEETYEEEEEEEET... Host has completed the quest!'
'Your rewarrrrrrrrrrd issssssssss....'
