Crack!
An object seemingly fell from the darkened skies without warning . This startled the group of bandits rummaging through the caravans .
Whatever fell could not be seen due to the impact of its descent, which created a huge dust cloud . When the dust faded they saw a youth with a mix of black and brown dreads .
On his face was a cheeky smile .
" What tha f.u.c.k?!
It's raining kids . I've seen it all!"
One of the bandits exclaimed in sheer fright at what he just saw . Who wouldn't be in his position? A person doesn't just fall out of the sky at any given time .
What made it even freakier was now a slight downpour had started .
Crk! Crk!
Taf then stretched and twisted his body .
" Oh s.h.i.+t! Now that feels a bit better . I should remember next time to jump from a lower alt.i.tude . Someone might get the impression I am suicidal . "
He muttered while the group looked at him in sheer horror . Below him was a crater spanning at least 154 meters in width .
What did he actually say? He fell from the sky, what freak of nature did they now have in their presence .
While look at all the bandits before him Taf had a wicked grin on his face while saying,
" Doesn't this bring back memories of the good old day?"
There the bandits stood in total disbelief before one of the few seemingly had enough . He then threw an emerald in Taf's direction before uttering,
"I don't know where the h.e.l.l you came from kid, but get lost! Take that and go . You're getting in our way . "
He attempted to shoo Taf away while gesticulating with his hands . Which was understandable as they awaited some guests who as yet have yet to arrive .
Advertis.e.m.e.ntTaf then casually replied, "I'm truly sorry I'm such a disappointment but I will be the party providing the entertainment for today's proceedings, unfortunately . Let me introduce myself . "
Taf then put his right hand to his mouth as he coughed,
"Eh em!
You're now in the presence of the one and only Mouse . I, however, tend to play better when a Sir precedes it . I am after all a gentleman . "
Taf shameless spouted with a serious expression .
His audience was quiet for a few seconds stunned by his words before they all simultaneously burst into a chorus of laughter .
" I knew it!
This kid is a nut case . Must have fallen on his head a few seconds ago .
Tell me, kid, how many fingers am I holding up?"
One of the bandits held four fingers in the air which only fueled the laughter once more .
Crk!
"Ahhh!" The man screamed in agony as his four fingers were broken oddly backward within a flash by the youth with dreads . Taf then replied,
" Did you mean now? Pardon me, but i don't see any fingers . Guess I am truly as you say 'Nuts' "Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
The man continued to scream as Taf didn't stop by breaking his fingers but his whole hand made a cracking sound as all his bone were crushed in Taf's grip .
He screamed while begging for mercy for the youth who so callously referred to himself as Sir Mouse .
Yet, it was similar to hastily putting his head under a guillotine and asking not to be beheaded .
Soon smoke started escaping from Taf's grip with the smell of flesh being burnt lingering in the air .
His comrades were so stunned that they didn't know what to do . None saw when the youth who called himself Sir Mouse had even made a move .
" What a pity, huh? Now not even a hand remains . "
Taf uttered as he released his grip and what the bandits saw would let anyone lose their appet.i.te . It was chard repulsively disfigured stump take the place of where the man's hand use to be .
All momentarily took a step back as they observed Taf who with a flicker, disappeared . They all became nervous, frightened out of their minds as they wondered where could he be?
Crk!
All followed the breaking sound they heard . When the source of the noise was found they saw Taf's foot stamped down on the ankle of one of their comrades .
He was in such pain that not even a sound escapes from his mouth, only tears from his eyes .
" Trying to sneak off, are we? You should know no one leaves the Mouse without the proper reparations . "
As Taf spoke he had a playful look on his face . This expression only made the group of men deemed as bandits s.h.i.+ver .
By his movements and the strength exerted they now knew this was an individual who could slaughter them all with ease .
What is the point of having a numeric advantage when you can't see your target?
This was no kid, he probably was some old b.a.s.t.a.r.d who still cherished his teenage looks . They seemingly came to the same conclusion as Kallen from the walls .
Wasn't this the only plausible a.s.sumption?
Even if they were told the truth, not even in a million years would they have believed it . Soon one of the bandits remembered his last word spoken, which was 'reparations' .
" Sir Mouse, before you mentioned reparations . Does this mean we can escape with our lives after offering something of significance?"
He questioned ensuring he addressed the fiend as he requested . Taf had a smirk on his face while he replied,
" Aren't you a smart fellow . You see, I'm quite principled .
We all make mistakes, right? So I'll offer you all this opportunity to well, how can I put this?
Hmmm, breath like all other living creatures do . "
Hearing Taf words they all wondered how can a man with such strength be so shameless as to extort individuals such as themselves .
Did this man have no sense of professional ethics? There is an unwritten code among thieves . You don't rob a man while he is on the job .
How could the robbed continue in his profession when his reputation was so harshly tarnished? Wouldn't he then have to do the 'unthinkable' which was the make an honest living?
" Well, I see no one wants to depart from their belongings, huh?" Taf uttered as two small golden hammers were summoned to his hand . This jolted a reaction from the bandits who unwilling pulled their s.p.a.ce pouches .
" Now I should perhaps disclose not all payments absolve one from say, a broken or dislocated limb . You all have done some unscrupulous acts in the past .
As a member of the prestigious Dark Abylis Sect, how could i possibly turn a blind eye, hmm? Isn't that simply tainting our reputation?"
Taf then righteously spoke .
They all cursed in their minds as it could be seen this man did not care about any of their previous misdeeds .
He simply wanted to bleed them dry and then boldly use the name of The Dark Abylis Sect to further his plot .
Plop!
the first pouch was thrown in his direction by a man though tall was seemingly meager . Taf took a moment to scan through before uttering,
" Is this really all you have?"
His question apparently offended the man as a vein began protruding on his forehead . Half of his live-savings were in that pouch, yet this man found it unsatisfactory .
If he had the strength he swore he would beat him to a pulp .
" Tell me, which of your hands do you wield your weapon with?"
Taf then asked a question off-topic which the man in question found peculiar . Yet he replied,
" I handle my sword with my right arm . "
Hearing his reply Taf nodded his head before a cold gaze was given to the man .
Flicker . . . , Taf once more disappeared .
Crack!
Taf moved similar to the wind appearing before the man who was frozen in place as he looked at his right arm that was pulverized by one of Taf's hammers .
It happened so fast that the pain was not yet felt through the rest of his body as he screamed in anguish .
" Guess you'll need to start practicing with your left . "
He then spoke dismissively allowing the man to leave with his wounded arm .
Taf then looked to the group as he once more addressed them while they all subconsciously took another step back .
" now think long and hard and ask yourselves this question .
How much are my limbs truly worth?"
With haste, they all summoned anything they previously hid . Some had earlier summoned one pouch but now there were two and even three .
After all the s.p.a.ce pouches were quite limited in the cubic feet available . This meant that a person might have multiple on them at any given time .
They knew this fiend would not let them leave unharmed unless satisfied . However, this was better than death wasn't it?
One after the other they all left . Some were more fortunate than others and sustain little to no harm . While there were those who weren't so fortuitous and could barely crawl .
Seeing the last of the bandits leaving Taf had a smile on his face tallying what he had scored . Sure he could have ma.s.sacred them with ease however this conflicted with his modus .
He had no qualms in pulverizing his victims . It would have been different if they had any form of killing intent towards him . That's always a death sentence in his book .
Looking in a direction devoid of any seeming movement . Taf hen a.s.serted himself saying,
"Did you enjoy the show Chubby? How about you and your three underlings make your way out for little chat, huh .
I don't have all day . "
To be continued . . .
