Fenon eyed Kadyn and curled his lips at a weird angle. Kadyn noticed his disdainful gaze and frowned. At this moment a few memories of the previous owner appeared inside his head. This man used to bully him often. Last time when Kadyn went to the Tonton river for fishing, it was after this man's abuse and died by drowning.
Kadyn spotted three familiar faces standing behind Fenon. Their countenances gleaming with an arrogant smile. It didn't take long for him to understand the situation. So it seemed behind his beating was none other than Fenon.
"Why are you here?" Kadyn demanded. He had no idea how powerful Fenon was. Even his sidekick—fatty—was a five star elementary mage. He couldn't be worse than him.
Hearing his question, Fenon chuckled. "I came here to give an offer to your sister. Why don't you persuade her?"
When he said he glared at Kadyn as if trying to intimidate him—if it was old Kadyn he would have been terrified by him, as he had bullied and traumatised him for a long time. Alas, the old Kadyn was gone.
"Oh, what offer?" Kadyn asked with interest.
Fenon frowned when he saw Kadyn's fearless face. He seemed to be unaffected and unintimidated. Furthermore, he dared to ask a question. Still the smile never left his face and replied with a gentle and calm voice. "I want to take her as my concubine."
Kadyn was surprised, hearing that. He had read about the concubine, first wife and second wife thing. He never thought this world that was already well developed would have such a tradition.
"In return I will help you find your parents." Fenon hurriedly added, seeing Kadyn's contemplating look.
Elora turned pale when she heard him. Though she faced many hardships in the magic academy, she never complained about it to her family. Neither she told her parents nor her brother.
Kadyn looked at his sister from the corner of his eyes and found her gritting her teeth and her lips shivering. Afterwards he veered his gaze towards Fenon and replied. "Sorry, we don't need your help to find our parents. As for taking my sister as your concubine—are you even worthy of caring her shoes?"
"How dare you talk to mister Fenon like this!?" the biggest fatty thundered and extended his arm to grab Kadyn's neck.
"Brother!" Elora shouted. Fenon snorted disdainfully but did not stop his man. Jenna looked at the entire scene with interest and said nothing. However, just when everyone thought Kadyn was in trouble, the change occurred.
Kadyn squatted down and avoided the fatty. The abdominous guy couldn't control his weight and stumbled even further. Kadyn found the advantage and arrived behind his adversary and kicked his calf.
Fatty's knees bent down and he fell on his face. However his nightmare didn't end there. Kadyn placed his knee on his neck and locked his elbow—fatty whimpered in pain and slammed his other hand on the ground again and again, in hope to overcome Kadyn. But every struggle turned out to be futile.
"Leave him!" when Fenon saw his intention to make Kadyn suffer turned into nothing but a big joke, he couldn't hold himself and shouted.
"Stop right there." Kadyn's icy voice rumbled. "Or don't blame me if I break his neck by mistake."
"You dare!?"
"Wanna try?"
Looking into Kadyn's eyes, Fenon for the first time felt as if he was glancing at a completely distinct person. He could not associate this domineering man and previously timid Kadyn. There was no common thing in two except their face.
When Kadyn saw Fenon had stopped. He snorted and turned his attention to the fatty under his knee. Without any deliberation, Kadyn slammed into the back of the man's neck.
"Slap!"
"Fuck! What a thick skin. How could someone use so much oil?"
Anyone who heard him almost had the urge to go insane. Fenon gritted his teeth in fury. Jenna froze at the same place like a wooden log in the mud while Elora peered at her brother with wide eyes as if she saw him for the first time.
What made others speechless was that he didn't stop there.
"Slap!"
"Slap!"
"Slap!"
From the thick skin of his neck to the round, puffy cheek of the man, the entire portion turned scarlet. At first the poor thing cursed and struggled and threatened, but after getting more and more hits, he lost his toughness and started to plead.
How could Kadyn let this vermin go this easily? He twisted the hand with force and a scream escaped out of the poor fatty. "Ahhhhh!!"
"What are you doing!?" Fenon tensed when he saw the scene unfolding in front of him.
Jenna trembled, looking at Kadyn, and Elora covered her face in shock. Since when her brother became such a daring man? The other two sidekicks who saw the scene tumbled back in horror. They knew the reason behind Kadyn's anger. They feared after dealing with the big fatty he would come after them.
Kadyn gave no response to Fenon's question. Instead, he continued to twist the hand. The sound of something cracking echoed, and everyone felt as if the entire place turned colder.
After breaking the shoulder of the man, Kadyn let him go. But fatty continued to lay there, whimpering, snorting and twitching. Kadyn frowned, seeing fatty's situation and said. "If you don't stand in a second, I will break your another shoulder."
"No, no, no, please!" fatty stood hurriedly with a tearful face and a dangling left hand at the side. His nose running continuously and his back drenched in a cold sweat.
"Trash!" Fenon blurted out a single word.
"Now you can get lost with your orchestra team."
Fenon's eyes turned cold. He did not look at Kadyn and turned towards Elora. "Think about my offer. Otherwise you will have only yourself to blame if something happens to your father and mother."
After that he turned around and left. Behind him, three round balls scurried. Two supporting the other. None of them dared to look back.
Kadyn peered at the back of Fenon and frowned. He thrashed Fenon's man because he wanted to see his reaction and make him fight back. So he could know how powerful he was, but the bastard never attacked.
This bastard is a good actor. He just wanted to plant a seed of doubt in Elora's heart. With her kind nature she would do anything to protect her parents. Moreover If he had attacked me just now, his previous words would have lost all the effect on her.
Kadyn eyed Elora and saw her staring at the fading Fenon and biting her lips. It was obvious Fenon didn't know the exact whereabouts of his parents. But his sister fell for his tricky words. He shook his head.
I need to develop her character or she would be deceived by anyone in the future.
Afterward he turned towards Jenna and said in a cold tone. "So, it was Fenon who asked you to befriend my sister?"
