Chereads / These Familiars Are Strange / Chapter 8 - What are you doing?

Chapter 8 - What are you doing?

"What are you doing? Kill him!" Wang Teng ignored the words that I said as he directly called for his lackeys to attack me.

Unfortunately, those lackeys weren't able to move at all.

The moment that they heard my Echo Bat's sonar, they became frozen on the spot.

There were looks of shock that were on their faces, but there were also traces of struggle coming from their faces. It seemed that they were trying to break free of the force that was holding them in place like this.

It was just too bad that it wasn't working at all.

No matter how hard they tried to break free, they found that they weren't able to move a single muscle.

They weren't even able to move their mouths to make a sound.

As they realized this, there was a trace of fear that appeared in their eyes.

Just what kind of power was this that was able to freeze them completely like this?

During this time, Wang Teng didn't notice any of this and just continued shouting at the lackeys to do something.

The more that he shouted, the angrier he became when he saw that those lackeys didn't do a single thing.

Only no matter what he did, the lackeys didn't move at all. It was as if they didn't hear him at all with the way that they ignored him.

I had been slowly observing all of this because I noticed something.

It seemed that there was a certain range to the Echo Bat's sonar. Once they were a certain distance away, the Echo Bat's sonar didn't seem to work.

That was why Wang Teng was still able to wave his hand and shout at the top of his lungs like this.

However, I got tired of listening to him once I had a good judge of the effective distance.

"Keep going." I said to the Echo Bat as I started walking forward. The Echo Bat on my shoulder gave a nod with its mouth still open as I walked forward.

After a few steps, Wang Teng suddenly stopped shouting at his lackeys. The moment that he stopped, I also stopped moving.

Narrowing my eyes, I took a closer look at the distance between us.

It seemed that this was the max range of the Echo Bar's sonar. It also didn't seem like the effects weakened, it was all or nothing when it came to the power of the Echo Bat's sonar.

While I was observing this range, Wang Teng's expression changed quite a bit.

There was rage at first, but eventually there was confusion and even a trace of fear that appeared in his eyes.

He had no idea what was happening, but he just wasn't able to move a single inch no matter how he tried.

Finally, I broke the silence by asking, "Why are you doing this?"

Even though I already knew the answer, I still wanted to hear it from him.

Though after a moment of silence, I realized something and said, "Speak."

After the Echo Bat made another silent sound, Wang Teng found that his mouth was able to move again. Though the rest of his body wasn't able to move, he found that his mouth was at least able to move.

The moment that he found that he could speak…

"What do you think you're doing? Do you know who you're messing with?" Wang Teng roared in a voice filled with rage.

He had no intention of answering my question at all.

Though he wasn't a complete fool and could tell that I was the one that had caused this phenomenon.

It was just that he couldn't lose his arrogance at all.

I narrowed my eyes to look at him before slowing moving towards him.

Wang Teng also narrowed his eyes to look at me. He continued roaring at me at first, but seeing that I was getting closer and closer, his voice started to fade away.

It was almost as if he was running out of steam with the way that his voice slowly lost its power.

Finally, Wang Teng took a deep breath and asked, "What are you doing?"

"What do you think I'm doing?" I asked back at him, almost in a taunting voice.

"You!"

"Pa!"

That was all that Wang Teng was able to say before there was a pain that came from his face.

A look of shock appeared on Wang Teng's face, as if he couldn't believe what just happened.

As he slowly turned back to look at me, he also slowly said, "What did you just do?"

"Pa!"

That was the answer to his question.

I didn't say a single word as I directly slapped him across the other cheek.

There was no hesitation at all in my action as I slapped him with as much strength as I had.

I had to admit that it felt good to slap Wang Teng across his face, but now wasn't the time to be enjoying this.

"I don't think that you understand the situation that you're in. I'm the one asking the questions and the only thing that you can do now is answer my questions." I said in a cold voice.

A chill ran down Wang Teng's spine, but it seemed that these words actually had the opposite effect.

There was a look of anger that appeared on Wang Teng's face after he heard this.

It seemed that he was someone whose pride just wouldn't allow him to back down even in the situation that he was in. 

So instead of backing down, he said, "You dare say that to…"

It was just too bad for him that I wasn't playing around either.

"Pa!"

"You…"

"Pa!"

"Stop…"

"Pa!"

"I…"

"Pa!"

"Oh wait, you might have actually been trying to answer just now. What were you about to say?"

"I won't let you get away…"

"Pa!"

"It seemed that I was expecting too much from you."

"Pa!"

"I didn't even say anything!"

"Pa!"

"You did that time."

Just like this, it was a cycle of non answers and slaps.

It reached the point where my hands actually hurt from slapping him across the face.
