Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

Chapter 332  A Second Blue Core Beast attacks

"And as for you!" Ralph turned to Chiron grabbing him by his yellow vest, and lifting him up to his face.

"It's about time I show you who is boss in these parts!"

He raised a fist to punch Chiron.

"Oh, really!? In which part will that be? On land?" An aged familiar voice they all knew was heard.

Ralph immediately turned about. It was surprisingly old Magu.

"Everyone in this village knows that this land belongs to me. It was bought by late eldest son for me to cultivate. Yes, by Igbi's father. And since Igbi is my only heir, it naturally means that this land belongs to him.

How dare you claim rights on my property?"

Old Magu walked forward with strides that were surprisingly fast for an old woman her age.

He raised her head looking Ralph right in the eyes, "You better let my grandson go this instant!"

"Or what old woman. You will report me to my father?"

Old Magu cracked a side smile. Her voice suddenly went low, "You know, there is a reason I am called a witch, I can see that you are tempted to find out why." Her eyes gave a sharp glow, making her look extra crazy.

Ralph instantly let go of Chiron.

He turned to Claudia, "What are you still doing laying around. Get your shit together and let's go."

Without another word, he turned left.

Claudia slowly got to her feet, she nodded at old Magu before following obediently behind Ralph.

Old Magu saw this and sighed. She turned to Chiron, "Thank you Igbi."

Chiron nodded, "It's no problem, mama. It's all good."

Old Magu nodded. However she couldn't help but look at Claudia as she walked away and back at Chiron.

"You know, that Claudia is a really good girl. She would make a very good wife for you yeah!" She chuckled lightly, "She seems to dot on you, and I can tell from the way you look at her that you like her too."

Chiron chuckled shyly, "Stop it mama. It's not like that."

He had an embarrassed look on his face. It made old Magu most certain about her guess.

She chuckled again, "You should start getting ready to get married. This old lady is dying you know."

Chiron nodded, "I know what you mean mama, but... But... She is already betrothed to Ralph. I can't do that..."

Chiron gather the fire wood once more, placing it on his head, he turned and headed for the house.

Old Magu sighed as she shook her head.

However, Chiron smiled as his left.

What old Magu did not know was that Chiron was very interested in Claudia but not in a manner that the old woman would believe.

Over the next couple of days, they were several times that Claudia would pass by and old Magu would catch Chiron staring at her, seemingly lost in thought.

Sometimes, he would even forget to do his work and stare at her absent mindlessly.

This naturally certified the old woman's thoughts about Chiron's feelings.

However, old woman was not well vast in human interactions. If not she would have known, that sometimes, one does not see what is, but rather what was allowed to be seen.

Besides, Chiron was an old man in the body of a young boy.

He understood that every human being was an actor. This was true whether the person wanted to be or not.

The same behavior or attitude one would show before their parents would be entirely different from the one they would show friends.

In other words, people only showed the parts of themselves they believed a particular person or group of people perceive them to be.

Chiron was fundamentally aware of this. Everybody was an actor.

However, it took significant skill to always be in play.

 Chiron had skills and abilities that old Magu was most unaware of.

It was never difficult for him to sense whenever she was around or staring at him for him to play his part.

After a few more days, Chiron decided to kick up his plans up a notch.

After all, rumours about recruitment into the joint army to stand against the Vandorian army was flying in the air.

Chiron knew for certain what he had to do.

The time was most ripe for his next plan.

It was on a relatively peaceful day.

Regardless of the fact that the mountains still roared from time to time with the loud cries of core beasts, nothing relatively chaotic happened.

However, on this particular day. A beast left it's abode.

Surprisingly, it was a blue core mountain Lion.

This beast was not the same one Chiron had killed.

Rather, it was male.

It was twice the size of the other blue core mountain Lion, and it's arrival was one of chaos and destruction.

The moment it stormed the village, it did not even bother with the people.

Instead, it followed it's nose, leading all the way to the village chief's house.

Instantly, the men took up their weapons and attacks were exchanged with the beast.

The fight was a fierce one.

However, this core beast was angry.

One of the villagers immediately noticed it was male.

It was not hard to understand that this was the mate of the other blue core mountain Lion.

Back then, the blue core mountain Lion had attacked to find it's missing egg.

However, it never left the mountains.

These core beasts were known to have very good sense of smell.

Besides that, they were actually a peaceful bunch.

Only hunting what was required for their food.

In fact, even though they ate flesh, human beings were not a part of their usual diet.

The reason was because human beings did not usually carry the amount of aura energy the blue cored mountain lion needed.

Most humans in this parts were either low ranked or had no cultivation at all.

These specie of beasts were actually very picky eaters.

Unless food was heavily scarce, they would not sink their teeth in a human...
