Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: No other choice

[Meanwhile in the Tepug neighborhood]

There was a small commotion in front of the gates of a large estate. Due to the Tepug neighborhood being where most of the stronger people in the Clido are.

The residence they were situated in front of, the Lakevale estate was the residence of Isako, Momoi, and many other high siege disciples that formed the Crimson Promis division. Their division is very special, for, each disciple from it has turned out to become very powerful, and that is what the sect is seeking to do with the Special Division.

The estate was very big, and from the gates, and large fences, we could see a few maids cleaning, and many disciples walking around in the organized and beautiful front garden.

It seemed like they did not even realize the situation that was happening in front of the gates.

"Is he going to fight a mere disciple for a woman?"

Takuji had reached the 2nd stage of the Immortal Bones realm, and Ryoto had yet to reach the 1st stage of the Bronze spirit realm. For many witnesses, luring Ryoto into a Proelium would be very unnecessary.

From afar, a disciple in his 30s suited in black with a mask was watching. That disciple was the vigil watching over the Proelium and making sure no one would intervene and no one would kill.

Everyone knew that one powerful strike would be enough to kill Ryoto, but Takuji wanted to have fun with him

A crowd of fewer than 10 people was witnessing the scene in front of them. Thanks to his contacts with many of the

"This disciple is confused, what might I have done to offend high siege disciple Takuji Ryoto asked with one of his hands on the level of his ribs.

Ryoto's uniform was dirtied with dust, he had a bruise on the side of his eye and his lower lip had a cut.

"You are going to die..." Takuji said in a menacing tone walking slowly towards Ryoto.

Takuji's fantasm is named razra Mori, his hands turn into razor-sharp qi blades about 1 meter long. With these, he can cut through anything and can use slashes that take the shape of the blade and go yards away.

Another aspect Takuji is known for is his brutality in his fights. Once he crushes his adversary, he would always find a way to execute his adversary. Thanks to his connection with the vigils, he will always get away with it.

'Shit! What have I done to get such a guy on my ass!' Ryoto wondered with a horrified expression taking steps backward whenever Takuji was advancing.

Abruptly, in a blink of an eye, Takuji reduced the distance between him and Ryoto. The move was so sudden that Ryoto didn't have time to get in a defensive stance therefore, his abdomen was exposed, and Takuji struck him with a fist covered with a qi cloak.

Ryoto fell to his knees, and spit blood from his mouth to the floor.

'He most probably broke a few ribs!' Ryoto thought as it was getting harder for him to breathe correctly.

Takuji looked down at Ryu, and his expression was emotionless, his eyes were empty, and his mouth was closed without showing any sign of happiness or joy.

"I will torture you..." He later whispered to Ryoto who was having a hard time breathing.

Suddenly, a familiar voice to both disciples was heard behind the few disciples that were watching the scene.

"Make some space, what's going on around here!?" That voice was Momoi who was creating a path to the entrance of the estate.

Takuji frowned and turned his head to Momoi.

When she witnessed Ryu on the ground spitting blood, her face turned blue.

"What's going on?" She whispered before she realized the one standing in front of Ryoto was Takuji.

Her anger grew, and she started emitting a deadly aura, "What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

"There is my fiance!" Takuji exclaimed in a soft voice walking to Momoi with his arms spread wide to give her a hug.

His attitude just infuriated Momoi even more, and her aura increased even more cracking the ground below here and making the small rocks around her float.

"I thought I said I would never accept your family's demands..." She answered menacingly.

Takuji stopped walking to her, and his smile turned into the previous emotionless expression.

"Well that's too bad..." Takuji sighed as he scratched the back of his head.

He walked back to Ryoto who was lying on the ground taking deep breathes.

"I guess I'm just gonna have to release all my anger on him," Takuji exclaimed with an evil smile.

Momoi didn't waste a minute and was about to launch an attack before the vigil came in the way of the attack to stop her.

"This disciple is not allowed to interrupt an ongoing Proelium," He said in a serious and firm voice.

"You heard him my love, you can't intervene, you'll just have to watch him go down," Takuji replied.

He lifted Ryoto by his hair, and showed his face to Momoi which just instigated her fury even more.

"You can do something about it, but only under one condition, and I'm sure you know it..."

The condition was clear to everyone, Takuji wanted Momoi to accept his demand and marry him.

Silence filled the atmosphere for a few seconds.

"If not, then I guess this boy's fate is sealed," Takuji said and immediately, his arm, started glowing.

After the glow, red tiny pixels started to float around his hand, until a large amount of red pixels covered his arm, and gave it a shape of a sharp blade.

"Don't forget this," Takuji said leaning to Ryoto's ear, "your cousin killed you, not me,"

Ryoto could see the blade moving closer to his face before it stopped a few centemeters away from his eye.

"Stop!" Momoi said with small tear drops on the side of her eyes, "alright, I-I accept your demand..."
