Chapter 12 - The challenge

"Titan! I really look down on you!" Night's voice was cold as she provoked him even more. It seemed Night understood what Edward wanted to do.

'Holy shit… that is some cold tone Night. Its sending shivers down my spine. I never knew you could even speak like that.'

At this moment, Edward hardened his scalp and said:

"Titan, you are so brave and strong right? Are you better than me? Can you even beat me?" He started at Titan's eyes directly.

Titan's nostrils flared out,

"I just beat you to a pulp monkey. You have tiny arms. How are you even better than me!?"

'Hook, line and sink. You're a total sucker!'

Edward thought in his heart that as long as he passed today and let himself get a breathing room, he could definitely plan ahead and ensure his survival.

'There will be a day you'll be kneeling on the ground for mercy Titan!'

Edward carefully hid his emerging smirk as he continued:

"Can you even catch more preys than me? Look how weak and small I am. Look at my thin arms. You call yourself a leader, can you even beat me in hunting Titan?"

When he finished, he turned and winked at Night who had no idea what that meant. Although she couldn't understand what Edward was doing but she understood that he had something up his sleeve.

Edward knew that he had to distract Titan from Night. He diverted the topic away from Night and towards challenging his manliness cause the moment Titan focused on Night, something that was in his hands, he would have his way with her.

In this era, humanity was as simple as a clear water, and Edward's tricks blinded everyone.

"OF COURSE I CAN HUNT MORE THAN YOU PUNY MONKEY!"

Thoroughly enraged, Titan moved towards Edward trying to beat him again

"You want to beat me? Is that what a man does when his position is challenged? 5 days Titan…. 5 days. Lets see if you can even hunt more than me and are really worthy to be a leader."

In prehistoric times, a challenge to someone��s leadership was something serious.

"Sure…sure monkey. After 5 days I will find you and if I win I'll kill you slowly and skin you alive! I will enjoy your screams."

For Titan, this was something serious especially in front of his men. He didn't put the monkey like person in his eyes. Hunting? He was the best hunter in all the surrounding tribes.

Edward finally breathed a sigh of relief!

'I, a 21st-century engineer trained in the modern scientific knowledge of human beings, can make a savage like you who eats nothing but dirt, know what real meat is like!'

"Good! Five days is the limit!" Edward was so happy he could die, not literally because he had just escaped dead and didn't wanted to die after all the trouble.

Five days! He had to hunt for five days! This time was too abundant for him

Titan took his man away after the agreement was done. For him, he could get Night whenever he wanted but a challenge to his position was direr.

Night couldn't believe it, with a few words of his, he actually made the tyrannical Titan go back, she admired Edward even more now.

"Hey," all the pain came together at the moment, and Edward, who just wanted to stand up, fell to the ground.

"Light, what's wrong with you?" Night hurriedly asked.

"My stomach hurts so badly, my head is also dizzy, it feels painful enough to die..."

"Oh your eyes are swollen too, they look scary" Night sat on the leaves next to him, gently stroking his swollen left eye.

Seeing that the forest getting dim, Night seemed a little uneasy.

It was not a good thing to stay in the forest at dark where no one had any idea what might appear to instead hunt humans.

Edward breathed a sigh of relief. "Night, don't worry, you support me, let's go!"

But after a few trials, there was no success.

"Light, climb on my back!" Night bent down, and the leopard skin skirt showed her well rounded hips causing his heart to go beating like crazy.

'This… is maddening. Only a small piece of rabbit skin covers my waist and now I am being asked to hold and almost naked girl? My little brother will kill me from blue balling instead of the pain left behind Titan at this rate.'

"This way...." Edward looked around. "Night, see the tree in front of you? Can you get that for me?"

Night went under the tree, pulling the end of a branch, and slamming the tree and pulling it down.

Edward sat on the ground and directed Night. He made simple crutches without much effort. He gave one of the crutches to Night who curiously looked at them as some kind of a mystery.

He stood up while holding Night's shoulders placed the simple branch crutch under his armpit and took a few steps along.

"Night, lead the way ahead!" he said with a smile.

"It's really hard to beat you down!" Night laughed as she helped Edward move along.
