FULL NOVELXO Chapter 25 We Are Just Playing Around.
"Tsk, getting me all worked up for no reason."
Vaan snorted. contemporary romance
Then while rubbing the back of his neck, he glanced at Asher and,
"You have a week to arrange the money, don't blame me for what happens if you fail to get me what I want.
Ah, right, make sure no one in your family knows about this."
Saying those words, Vaan started walking.
He was done here.
Or so he thought…
"You… Lady Astra does not know you are here… does she?" Suddenly, Asher, who was sitting on the sofa with his head low questioned.
"Hm?" Vaan tilted his head in confusion.
"This story of Lady Astra looking at your injuries and thinking the attacks were aimed at your life,
all of it is fake, isn't it?
You are just using her name to threaten me, aren't you?
That is why you do not want me to inform my family because once that happens, my family head would go and directly confront Lady Astra, and once Lady Astra finds out about what you have been doing using her name, you would be punished, isn't that right?"
Asher spoke as he raised his head and carefully looked for any changes in Vaan's face.
If his theory is correct, then Vaan's expression would change and he would start panicking. Vaan might have gained that confidence from somewhere, however, the moment he would reveal his plan, Asher was sure that he would revert back to his usual timid self.
However, Vaan's next move caught Asher off guard.
"I guess you aren't a complete fool."
"Huh…?"
Asher tilted his head in confusion.
Vaan's smile then widened up and,
"I was just using my mother's name to threaten you.
You didn't really think you get away after hitting me, did you?"
Hearing those words, something inside Asher broke.
He nearly had a heart attack imagining the destruction of his family, his loved ones, and himself, but to think all of this was just a joke for this bastard! To make it worse, rather than backing away or feeling guilty about this, this bastard was actually smiling at him!
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!"
Asher shouted in rage as he rushed towards Vaan.
Vaan, however, simply stepped aside and punched Asher's nose. Just from this punch, Asher felt his vision blurring.
Vaan laughed.
He was too experienced to have trouble going against someone like Asher, who had barely fought anyone using his fists before.
He punched his nose again, another wave of dizziness taking over Asher, then, Vaan kicked his abdomen, sending him flying back to the sofa again.
A second later, Asher finally came back to his senses, realizing that he was pushed away by Vaan, his anger soared even higher.
"You are dead!"
He cursed.
Then, the Mana around him moved.
He may look like this but Asher was a 2nd Circle Mage, he was a far stronger mage than Vaan, who had barely mastered his first Circle and didn't even know how to properly release his magic yet.
Two Magic Circles started forming around Asher, but then,
*Crash*
*Bam*
Asher felt a heavy impact on his head.
Vaan had smashed a nearby light lamp on his head.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm "Aaaggghhh!!"
Asher's vision blurred again, he screamed in pain as he grabbed his head, the magic circles that had half-formed broke apart.
Vaan then leisurely placed his feet on Asher's left thigh and,
"You are barely standing 3 meters away from me and Do you really think I'd wait for you to cast your spell for 5 long seconds and just prepare my own spell to defend myself?
As I thought, instead of the brain, you have shit inside your head, don't you?"
Vaan questioned.
Asher, on the other hand, didn't reply, he felt something wet on his head when he glanced at his trembling hand and realized what that red sticky liquid was, he just screamed in horror.
"Aaaaggghhhh!!"
"Pussy."
Vaan snorted, then,
*Bam*
He smashed his knee onto Asher's face. Asher fell back, with how he acted, Vaan knew that he was on the verge of passing out.
"Well, that was satisfying."
Vaan spoke as he rubbed the back of his neck and stretched his body.
But suddenly,
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"
Three guards rushed into the room and the one, who was their leader, shouted when he saw Asher's condition. Gabel who saw everything unfold widened his eyes in fear.
Things were definitely getting out of hand now!
These guards, they weren't weak at all.
Subduing Asher wasn't a big deal, however, there is no way they could go against these guards.
Vaan, however, just smiled,
"Why are you acting like that? We are just playing around."
"You call that playing around!? Young Master Asher is bleeding!" the head guard shouted.
"So?"
Vaan, however, just tilted his head in confusion.
"So what if he is bleeding? Wasn't I bleeding as well when he and his 4 other friends sparred with me?"
"T-That was a spar! It is normal for you to bleed in a spar! This is not a spar! You came here to meet him and then attacked him! That's an assault!" The head guard shouted.
"An Assault huh?" Vaan muttered.
Then, a big smile appeared on his face and,
"Now what are you going to do?"
The eerie smile on his face made planted a seed of nervousness in everyone's mind, even Gabel's.
His Young Master…
He looked like a demon!
"W-We will apprehend you and report this to your family!"
The head guard shouted.
"Oh? So you are gonna apprehend a member of the Vesta Family huh, I must say, Zilayan Family is quite bold."
"Y-You... Are you threatening us!?"
The head guard questioned with an intimidating look on his face.
"Oh no, of course not.
Go ahead, apprehend me, no worries.
A member of the Vesta Family being apprehended by a mere Zilayan family, I am sure it wouldn't cause any trouble at all."
