BXBX NOVEL Chapter 48 Deal
The eyes of the crowd widened, their mouth opened and time even seems to slow down at that moment when Liam swinged his sword with the golden flame wrapped around it.
"Geezer, really feels great losing, huh?" Liam responded with his natural voice catching Hester off guard.
\'That voice, he\'s actually a kid.\' Hester mind went off at that moment, as he watched the inferno draw nearer and almost took the face of a tiger as it goes closed to him.
Whoosh
There was no cheering nor booing from the crowd, so the whole battle arena was deadly silent.
Even the other fighters and the beauties that started the event was left with surprise.
The time Liam spoke all the crowds heard his voice and guessed his age and the realization left them really astounded.
The crowd was so silent that the sound of the sword flying through the air and the inferno swallowing the small particle in the air could be heard.
Boom
The sound of the sword colliding and exploding on the stomach area of Hester could be heard.
The strength behind the attack was so powerful that it sent Hester flying straight out of the platform.
"What! he won."
"He really won, a very young and rare genius!"
"Wow!"
"Such a great fighter!"
The crowd went chaotic while Hester was on the ground outside the platform, his eyes filled with anger.
Although the flame did not engulf him completely, his clothes which was expensive and finely colored was filled with dark smoky particles and his finely handsome face was filled with the same black particles as well.
Part of his hair was burnt as well, his young Master image was terminated the moment he lost.
But it would be even worst if he doesn\'t adhere to his promise.
Liam walked down the platform with pride and went closer to Hester who was struggling to get up from the ground.
"Hey, hope you aren\'t forgetting your promise." Liam reminded him with a smile hidden under the mask he was wearing.
Nevertheless, as the crowd was noisy they could not hear what he said and thus Hester was a bit lucky.
Hester guards rushed forward with Hester jacket and placed it over his shoulder before speaking to Liam in harsh condemning tone.
"You brat, get away from our Young master. just because you won using such underhanded method does not mean that you are great or something"
Liam heard this and felt like laughing out loud.
"That\'s true, young master Hester Is a kind man, he let me win just because he wanted to give me one thousand coins, isn\'t that super cool? Young master Hester Tai Yang, I hope I\'m speaking what\'s in your mind?" Liam said in a playful tone"
"You..." Hester gritted his teeth and stood upright with the supports of his guards.
"Do Dan, get him the promised amount of coin."
"Oh, young master Hester, you really want to give such a huge amount out.." ".. Oh, sorry, I\'ll go get it immediately."
Do Dan rushed out and some back later with a small pouch of coins and passed them to Liam who retrieved it and counted the amount inside with his divine sense.
"Oh, it\'s not complete."
"What?" Do Dan replied with a frown, it seems the young one in front of them was bent on tarnishing their image in front of so many people.
"What do you mean, not complete! I counted everything inside that bag and it was correct."
Liam listened and responded, "Then, I must really say that you don\'t know how to count."
Just then, the beauty from the beginning came to them and requested to count the amount inside.
"There are nine hundred and ninety gold coins inside." She said with a beautiful smile on her Face.
After hearing that, Hester face crumbled and he turned to Do Dan, glaring intensely at him as though he wanted to swallow the later.
The later knelt on the ground, and began trembling.
"I\'m very sorry young master, I did not mean to embarrass you like that, here is the other gold coin" Do Dan brought out the last gold coins and passed it to Liam.
"It was really a nice fight and thank you for the gold coins" Liam said and began walking away from the platform, while the eyes of the crowd lingered on him with admiration and respect.
"Damnit." Meanwhile, Hester gritted his Teeth and walked out of the dueling centre with fallen prestige and his tail between his legs.
The duelling contest was brought to an end when a beauty came to the stage and played a song from her flute.
Meanwhile, Liam was in a vip room waiting for his final rewards.
At that moment, the beauty from earlier and an elderly with white facial hair walked in.
"It was really nice having you in our center, such a peerless genius in our center will definitely draw more customers" the centre owner, Douglas said with a smile.
The beauty behind him brought a chair for him to sit.
"You were so wonderful out there and you really helped us this time."
"Thanks for the praises!" Liam said with a relaxed expression.
"Hehehe, even if I sing praises for twenty four hours, it still won\'t be enough to describe a god level genius like you, may I know what your name is."
"Savage!"
"Heh" "Heh"
Both Douglas and the beauty were surprised by his name which was so rare and didn\'t sound alright.
After some discussion, Douglas brought a tempting proposal.
The deal was that Liam should come to their centre anytime a duelling contest was about to take place, every fight he wins his reward will be doubled and his final reward will be doubled as well.
It was a good proposal though, he just has to kick some asses and get double rewards, it was really amazing.
"We usually fix the contest on a weekly basis, but we\'ll be changing it from now on to how young master Savage will love it."
"That\'s great" Liam began, than continued "Then I suggest that it should be every Wednesdays, and I\'m available for three months"
"Wednesday will be great, Wednesday is great. you answer... you really agree to the deal?"
"Yeah, what\'s there not to agree with?"
Douglas was very Happy, he even added an extra 40% extra to his reward for being the first in the point ranking.
He was given fourteen thousand gold coins.
He was supposed to be given a grade 2 weapon and a technique book, but there was really no need for it right now and he instead converted it to gold coins because that was pretty important right now.
Excluding mechanism sword, there are other swords with him, two grade 2 short swords and two grade 2 long swords.
He even had techniques of higher ranks thus there was really no need for those right now.
Grade 2 weapon sells for a thousand gold coins and above while the technique was sold for another one thousand.
Altogether, his final reward amounted to sixteen Thousand.
Adding his other coins to it, everything he has now amounted to forty thousand which was very very good.
Liam bade the two farewell and left, outside he felt some eyes on his body.
"This aura is familiar, it\'s that of a human lord and I\'ve only met one just a few moments ago, Hester Tai Yang, well, trying to get my address? dream on bastard, inventory."
Liam took out the last invisibility talisman, used it and became invisible.
At a room in a building nearby was Hester Tai Yang, trying to follow Liam with his eyes and see for himself who he really was that he was able to defeat him and even used rare divine flames.
When he thought that he has already succeeded, Liam disappeared and his eyes could no longer find him anymore.
"Damnit." He cursed.
..
Meanwhile, Liam has made it to the inn.
He arrived faster than he have expected thus the two were still sleeping, he decided to use this leisure time to cultivate and he brought out a primeval crystal and began to absorb the energy in it to replenish his demon core because he have used a lot of energy to fight.
As he was meditating, he couldn\'t help but recall the pictures in his inventory, the one of Xavier, Emerald and the young girl who happens to be his little sister because of the slight resemblance she has with him that was very obvious in his eyes.
\'When I get a hold of those two bastards, I\'ll make sure I torture them so badly that they will wish for death.\'
During his growth, only Emerald and Xavier took care of him disregarding the said curse that he posseses. thus, even if he have severed family ties with the Gregor family he still have those two in his heart.
Recalling the days when Xavier and Emerald protected him by going against Gregor and even endangering their lives sometimes.
