Chapter 148 - 148- Vendetta (Part 4)
The man was completely naked, from head to toe with nothing to cover him, not ev his private parts. He walked with confidce, seemingly not bothered at all that everyone could see him that way.
But, for better or worse, his body was muscular and well-shaped, giving him the appearance of an expericed bodybuilder. He was tall, almost as tall as Talon with a strikingly average face that had a scare running across it.
His aura was noticeably stronger than most people Talon met since the start of the integration.
Wh he reached the sce, his eyes naturally fell on the dead corpses. However, unlike his followers, he didn't have any noticeably huge shock. Instead, his expression just turned a lot more stoic.
"I assume you received my message, didn't you?" He th asked in a calm tone as his eyes shifted to Talon.
The latter returned the same look before he slowly pulled the piece of paper out of his pocket and tossed it to Cha Kwang.
"Where are they?" Talon asked.
"Who? Oh, you mean those two? Well, I must say, they're quite the tough nut to crack. Ev after asking them for a few days, they really didn't tell us where you are." Cha Kwang replied with a cold, malicious grin.
The momt Talon heard those words, his aura grew ev colder. He didn't need any more hints to understand what this man did.
"Oh man, look at you, that got you really pissed, didn't it? But, don't worry, I ain't no devil, am I? They're still alive and well. I did not torture them as I would usually do to get what I want."
"And why do I need to believe that?"
"Because, I'm not a monster, frid. To be in this business, you gotta know who you antagonize and who you befrid." He said with a smile.
'This guy… What is he ev talking about?' Talon squinted his eyes confusedly.
"Hahaha, of course. I mean, wh I first got the information that the warehouse was empty, I took my m and wt there thinking it was going to be tough to pass through all those monsters lurking there. But, wh we wt there and saw all the dead corpses riddling the area, I immediately knew that I was dealing with someone of my kind… A man that knew how to survive in a brutal world."
Talon: "..."
"We captured that place and took your two little frids back with us. I must say, they resisted quite well. They ev took down multiple of my m on their own. I had to get in to make them surrder. Seeing how strong they were, I must sa-"
*Swish*
Before the man could ev finish his stce, one of the Aetherial Blades attacked him from the side. The man's body immediately reacted as he quickly jumped back, barely dodging the attack.
"Blah, blah, blah. Did anyone tell you that you speak too much? My ears are ringing, fucker. Your mouth is bigger than that little thing dangling betwe your legs." Talon said with a cold tone as he pointed at the lower part of Cha Kwang's body.
Silce took over the tire supermarket. The guards stared at Talon with wide eyes as if they just heard the most absurd thing in their tire lives.
'Oh shit… He actually said that…'
'He insulted the boss' little brother… He is insane… But he also seems like a monster… This is gonna turn into a fight!'
Meanwhile, Cha Kwang himself stood there siltly. His face turned a degree uglier. But, he didn't immediately snap and instead clched his fists tightly.
"Who do you think you are? Does killing 30 of those bastards make you feel like you're a god?"
As he said those words, he suddly turned a and looked at one of the m standing behind him. Th, he grabbed him by the neck as he lifted him up in the air, choking him.
"BLURGH!! WHA… BO…SS!!"
*CRACK*
Before the man could ev resist, Cha Kwang snapped his neck with one hand as if it were a twig. The man stopped moving completely as he died on the spot.
*DROP*
"See? Just like that, dead… They're so easy to kill! Like stomping on a cockroach or slapping a bug! Don't think that's how you measure true strgth."
Talon's eyes moved to the dead man on the g. 'He really killed one of his m. They have no worth to him.'
Ev though it was a terrifying sight to see, it didn't affect Talon at all. Instead, he simply realized that the man he was dealing with wasn't just a scum… He was a psychopath through and through.
"Now, we don't need to go through a useless battle, do we? It will only exhaust us for no reason. Why don't we just merge our powers together, Talon? With your help, I know we can take over this tire country on our own. What do you think?"
"Take over the country?"
"Yes, you're strong, I'm also strong. Together, no one can stop us. Fuck it, not only this country, let's aim to conquer this tire world." Oping his arms, he declared in an ecstatic voice.
Talon could see it all over his face, an dless excitemt. As if what he was saying didn't sound like an absurd dream.
"We're equal, Talon. We can get everything we want, money, fame, wom. Especially wom, all those beauties out there, they would die to d up under someone like us." Licking his tongue, he looked down.
'The boss is really trying to convince him… No one stupid ough would refuse an offer like this.' The guards thought to themselves as they watched the interaction siltly.
In their eyes, they believed Cha Kwang was really giving Talon something he couldn't turn down. Fame, money, wom, that was all they wanted and more. Naturally, he should be the same.
Silce took over the place again as Cha Kwang and his m waited for Talon to speak. However, the latter simply stood there, not showing any noticeable reaction.
"... You're delusional, ar't you?" Rubbing his temples as if he were suffering from a headache, Talon spoke. "Equal? Me and you? Is your brain as small as that thing down there? Sigh, I wonder why did I ev list to you blabber for a few precious minutes of my time.
List here, I am far better than you, not ev morally or anything like that, I am way better than you in everything. Whatever you can do, I can do better. Why would I need an insane, pathetically weak idiot by my side? Know your place, trash."
Immediately, the tire place turned a degree colder as Cha Kwang's aura leaked out for the first time. The composure that he came in with slowly vanished and was replaced with outrage.
"You bastard… Disrespecting me twice, I can not tolerate that."
"Yeah, sure."
*Swish*
Suddly, Talon vanished as he closed the distance betwe him and Cha Kwang.
*BANG*
Th, he launched a strong punch toward Cha Kwang's stomach. Before the man could ev react, he was already st flying back as he smashed against the wall.
"..."
The guards took a second to react as they pulled their weapons out. The fear they felt at that momt seeing what their emy did made them stand still in their places.
"Hold on, you idiots will get killed if you get in this. Just step back." Cha Kwang said as he stood up on his feet.
'Hmm…' Looking at him, Talon squinted his eyes. 'My punch didn't break his ribs?'
Ev though he could see the trace of his fist on the man's chest, there wasn't any noticeable damage he could see. But, since he didn't use that much in his punch, he assumed that Cha Kwang was using some kind of skill.
'A defsive skill.'
"Get me my weapon." The man said as he took a fighting stance. "That punch was the strongest one I have ever received, I must say."
'If I didn't use my Strgthed Armor skill at the last momt… That punch might've ded me. Hahaha, this guy is the real deal.' He thought to himself.
"Fighting a naked idiot… Sigh, humans are some interesting beings." Acrypha murmured with a deadpan expression. "Just d him quickly, Talon. I don't want to see this vile thing of a creature anymore." She said.
Nodding his head faintly, Talon channeled his Aetheris. At the same time, the guard came back with Cha Kwang's weapon, a giant hammer at least twice his size. Just carrying it there seemed like a struggle to the guard and yet, Cha Kwang was able to lift it up with one single hand as if it was nothing.
"You will regret this, bastard. I will show you what true power is all about." Th, Cha Kwang lifted the hammer in the air before he channeled his ergy and smashed it down.
*BOOOOOOOOOM*
Immediately, the earth shook from sheer impact as a series of cracks appeared across the floor, moving toward Talon at an alarming speed.
'Interesting…'
