Death... and me

*Ahhhhh!*

Falin shrieked in pain as he fell to the ground. Obviously, Roan's actions shocked everyone present. No one ever thought that a human would attack a Zasfin, especially one with such a high status like Falin.

Soon after, Falin looked at his fallen arm. Obviously, rage and despair filled his mind. Not long after, he looked at his subordinates by the side and immediately ordered.

"Kill this little shit! I don't care anymore! I want all of them dead!"

Roan snorted and immediately released his Spiritual Sense Bending Skill, showing his and Calina's cultivation to everyone present.

"Peak Core Formation Realm!"

"Both of them!"

"How can such young humans have this kind of cultivation?!"

Even Falin's subordinates, who were just about to act, stopped in their tracks. Their cultivation was smaller than Falin to start with, so they would basically throwing themselves at death's door if they haphazardly attacked.

Seeing how no one moved, Roan coldly laughed as he pointed his sword towards Falin's neck. Falin, of course, didn't dare to move. He was struck by fear now that he saw how much stronger both of these humans were than him.

"Now then. What should I do with you? You put me in an incredibly shitty mood, which is not a good thing for you."

Falin then felt a mix of humiliation and killing intent. However, his fear of dying was still the greatest. At the very least, no one around them was Roan's match. He would need to wait for reinforcement from the City Lord's state before anything else.

"Wa-Wait! You're not really that guy's property, right? You're most likely here on his father's orders. Let me talk to him. I'm sure we can reach an agreement."

Roan then looked at Frandin.

"Young Master, please come here."

Frandin, who could barely move, gritted his teeth and approached Roan. Seeing that, Roan then said.

"This piece of shit is right. She and I are your father's property, not yours. However, we are under your command at the moment, so it's up to you to decide this guy's destiny."

Frandin felt like crying. What property? If anything, I'm your property, okay? Why are you throwing all the blame over me? ... or so Frandin wanted to say.

In the end, Frandin had to keep up the ruse whether he wanted it or not.

"How dare you talk to me like that? I'll tell my father to thoroughly punish you when we're back. However, leave that aside for now."

Frandin then looked at Falin, who had the sword near his throat.

"How do you want to compensate me for this damage? You better have a very good excuse."

Falin let out cold sweat while looking at Roan. Even the pain of his fallen arm was sent to the back of his mind. At the moment, survival was his first priority.

"I-I'll pay for you to let me go. I have a lot of Spirit Stones with me."

Frandin then asked Roan if that was enough. Roan pondered about it for a bit and confirmed. They wouldn't be able to stay in this place for long before reinforcements arrived, so it was better to end things quickly.

"Alright, give me all your Spirit Stones."

Falin immediately looked at his subordinates, who understood his non-verbal message before passing Frandin the Spirit Stones they were carrying for Falin.

Frandin couldn't help but let out a long breath.

'Seems like he's a big shot. There are at least a thousand Rank Two Spirit Stones here.'

While he verified that, Roan touched his shoulder and used Rean's Instant Recovery Skill to heal his bones and other internal injuries.

'Roan, is that enough?'

Roan nodded.

'Yes. Let's leave this place.'

Frandin then looked at Falin before snorting.

"Aren't you a rich old geezer? Very well. I'll take your Spirit Stones and arm as an apology for now. However, the next time I see you, you better run far away. Otherwise, even your brother won't be able to save your life. Scram!"

Falin immediately got up and ran away with his people. He didn't even dare look back. Of course, as soon as he got far enough, rage overcame his mind as he ordered his subordinates.

"Immediately have the City Lord State Guards come out. I want them dead, DEAD! No, kill the two men and leave the blonde to me."

Immediately, one of the guys rushed ahead to ask for reinforcements. The city center had many guards of the City Lord's State. However, none of them would be able to do anything to Roan and Calina with their cultivation. They needed to bring out the Core and Soul Fusion Realm experts that stayed close to the City Lord's Mansion.

Back on Roan's side, he immediately ordered with a Spiritual Sense Message.

'Let's leave this place quickly. None of the guys around will try and block us, but it won't take long before someone strong enough appears to block our way.'

Frandin nodded and followed Roan. However, Calina was completely absent-minded at the moment. It was as if she couldn't hear anything they said, nor did she pay attention to all the negotiation. Well, she couldn't be blamed for that. After all, her mind had only one scene playing back and forth.

Who said you could touch my Calina...

You could touch my Calina...

Touch my Calina...

MY CALINA!!!

Calina's face was so red that the cold environment made it possible to see some steam coming out.

Roan then touched her shoulder, which immediately made her come back to herself.

'What the hell are you waiting for? Let's go!'

Before she could react, Roan grabbed her hand and pulled her away. Obviously, that action made her head spin once again. She had never walked holding hands with Roan before. As for whatever was happening around her, she didn't have the mind to process it anymore.

No one tried to block Roan's group, afraid that they would be cut into pieces by him. Roan then pulled Frandin and Calina into a corner. After that, he activated Rean's Spiritual Bending Skill and used the Light Element to change their appearances once again. Just like that, Roan's group disappeared into thin air by the time the City Lord's state elders arrived.
