Kai calmly walked down the dark alleyway, staggering a little, and hummed something to himself. He already knew that he was being followed by two Cultivators in the middle stage. Thinking about the situation, he was sure that there was only one option, and that was the henchmen of that idiot called Kido who had accosted them in the restaurant.
He had gone to the dark alley on purpose, he had two reasons for that. The first was some benefit he would get from Kido, and the second reason was for the surprise attack. If he could minimize the damage he received in the fight, he would definitely realize that opportunity.
Staggering he walked over to a dark corner, and staggeringly began to slowly pull down his pants, cursing:
- Come on! Come on, I'm going to wet myself! - While he was fumbling with his pants, two silhouettes stealthily crept up to him. One of them quietly put his hand on Kai's shoulder saying:
- Boy, don't take offense, you're about to get a little hurt.
- Huh? What?"- As if not understanding, the drunken Kai slowly turned his head.
But here!
Fshuh! There was a sound of air splitting and an incredible blow came to the chest of the man who had his hand on Kai's shoulder. There was the sound of bones breaking, at this moment the man's chest was pressed inwards and he flew away like a cannonball, crashing into the stone wall behind him. At this moment, Kai already seemed completely sober, and his murderous aura was suffocating.
The second Cultivator instantly jumped aside, already in mid-air, and began to pull out his sword from its sheath and glow with a faint green light, releasing his energy. But Kai didn't give him that chance, rushing after him and swiftly striking the sword's hilt, pushing it back into its sheath! His opponent didn't expect such a lightning fast and unexpected attack from the drunk guy. He wasn't even given the chance to pull out his sword!
At this moment, the Cultivator saw this madman's one hand holding the garda while the other hand flew straight at his face. He had already realized how terrifying a blow this was from his partner's example. Quickly releasing his sword, he immediately crossed his arm near his face to block the blow. Bang! Flying off, he felt as if his arm bones were broken, everything from his elbows to his palms were numb. Thinking he had some distance now, he rushed to draw his sword. But then he fell into despair!
As he flew back, Kai's hand calmly gripped into the guard, pulling his sword out of its sheath. As soon as the Cultivator realized this he started to raise his head at this crazy strong guy. But it was too late, the blade of his own blade had already sliced through his nose and then the rest of his head.
Standing calmly, Kai smiled slightly looking at the first guy who was now barely breathing near the wall. Suddenly Kai's pupils narrowed and a dagger appeared in his hand, he quickly turned towards the street that was passing in the distance. It seemed to him that someone was looking at him! Standing alert Kai watched his surroundings, but after a moment he calmed down and put the dagger away.
- Was it my imagination? - He thought.
At that moment in the distance.
- Ho-ho-ho-ho. Amazing guy, I didn't think I'd find someone like that around here. - In the distance, a tall figure in a cloak stood on a crowded street. It seemed that this silhouette could calmly see everything that had just happened at a distance of a few hundred meters from him. He continued walking down the street further....
Kai, after thinking a bit more and making sure that no one was approaching him, calmed down and walked towards the guy with the broken rib cage.
- So, can you tell me where my honorable friend, young Mr. Kido, lives?
- I won't tell you, you can kill me! - The man replied with a wheeze.
- All right, watch carefully. You now have two choices, from which your young master can either die or stay alive but with a slight scare. Since you are loyal to him, you should think carefully, his fate is now in your hands. - Laughing said Kai.
- Option one! - Raising a finger, Kai continued.
- You tell me the address and I go to his house to ask him politely for something. In exchange for me forgetting the situation that happened today. Hooray, he stays alive! - Laughing said Kai.
- Option two! - Raising two fingers now, he said:
- I will spend a little more time and go back to the restaurant. There I will say that young Master Kido lost his item, and if they can tell me where he lives, I will give it to him. In the meantime, I'll hand a few coins to the waiter. Young Master Kido is a prominent guy, I guess where he lives isn't much of a secret. In the end, I lose time and a few coins, and Kido loses his life. And what I need from him, I'll just take from his corpse. Sad, isn't it? Hehehe. - Kai laughed good-naturedly.
But laughing like that made the man's flesh shake.
"This guy is a demon!" - Cultivator thought. After hesitating for a bit, he gritted his teeth and said:
- Tianfei Hotel. The young master rents the entire fifth floor. - As if overpowering himself the man said, he felt as if he was betraying his master.
- Wow, the young gentleman knows how to live this life right! Thanks anyway, it was a pleasure working with you! - Said Kai and started to walk away.
- You're not going to kill me? - Asked the man.
- Why, you just interrupted my urination, does that act deserve death? Ha ha ha ha. - Kai laughed and disappeared.
He wasn't really some honorable man. He had just examined the man's body and realized that he was no longer alive, he just hadn't realized it yet. In a few minutes he would be dead, at best, and that was if he didn't move.
Now he was walking calmly down the night street, there were many streetlights, and it was almost as bright as daylight. It was amazing, this was the first time he was in a place like this, Kai was really enjoying the atmosphere. He moved leisurely towards the inn and looked around in admiration. He even bought himself some sweet roasted chestnuts with the coins he clipped from a cultivator with a broken chest.
"What was that feeling? Like someone was watching me from the shadows. Hmm, but I have very heightened senses, it's unlikely that someone could hide from me. Was I really imagining it?" - Thinking about this, Kai leisurely walked near the entrance of Tianfei Inn. Bypassing it from the side, in an instant, he vanished into thin air. A few minutes later, he was already climbing up the building.
A large stone bathtub, with warm water and petals floating in it, was releasing a light vapor and there was a mist everywhere. A guy with his hair tied back was lying in it, sighing contentedly, and several naked maids were courteously leaving the room. It was clear what had just happened here.
"Hmph, where the hell are they. That bastard should have been caught by now. Were there really Cultivators with the fat guy too? Bitch, I should definitely destroy this trash with my own hands. It was clear from his clothes that he was some kind of, backwater dog." - Gritting his teeth thought Kido.
- His strength was impressive enough... But he's definitely a commoner, he has no manners! Maybe I just drank too much and I imagined it? Damn, I should have killed him right there, how dare some pathetic commoner speak to me, the heir to the Sword of Reckoning Family! - Almost spitting blood from anger, Kido spoke to himself while boiling off in the bathtub.
At that moment, Kai entered Kido's floor, and calmly went to his bedroom. He moved incredibly quietly, not even the maids who were now preparing the food could hear him. Entering the rich looking room, Kai began to look at the surroundings. Everything was made of quality wood and silks, and in the center on a table was a smoker that emitted a pleasant aroma. Money really could buy one a beautiful life! Kai looked at the locker in the corner, walked over and unceremoniously started going through Kido's things.
Suddenly, his eyes shone!
"This is it! Hehe." - Kai laughed and took out a golden ticket from his locker and put it in his ring. He took out a piece of paper and a brush, starting to write.
"Young Master Kido, unfortunately I had to take the lives of your two friends, but I had to! They interrupted me while urinating, which was very embarrassing. After that, I couldn't keep them alive... And imagine, you ordered them to maim me... What am I going to do to you?
Anyway, when I came to your house, I first thought of cutting off your boyfriend so that you couldn't continue living your luxurious life. But then I remembered that I'm a very generous young man! So I'll forgive you for the first time, and in return, I'll just take your invitation to the banquet. When you play with the maids at night, remember that there was a possibility that, starting today, you would never have enjoyed a woman again. I realize that this thought will now sometimes cross your mind. But every time it crosses your mind, remember not to cross me again. Otherwise you won't even recognize the moment you became a eunuch.
Have a good evening!"
Writing this, Kai smiled and climbed out of the window, leaving the inn.
Threats of this nature had a much stronger effect on such spoiled rich guys than threats to their lives. Kai didn't want to kill him and sign his ass into trouble with Kido's family, so in his opinion it was a smart move.
When Kido returned to his room he was completely overcome with chills, he immediately grabbed his sword and started looking around. When he finally calmed down, he realized that he'd better not provoke this psycho anymore... His household was far more important to him than a few rumors about losing his reputation, and in another city at that.
An hour later, Kai returned to the Western Trade Union branch and headed to his room. It too was very spacious and cozy, though not as luxurious as Kido's.
He was grateful to the fat man Diso, they had really bonded over the past few days. Thinking about it, Kai sat on the bed in lotus pose, calmed his mind and began to cultivate. Finally, he was alone. The last few days in the carriage, he had only practiced the speed of forming the Shadow Seal Dance since no one could see them anyway.
Now it was time to get back to practicing the Invisible Kings Torture Technique!
