“P-please spare my life, Mr. Crawford…! I beg of you…!” pleaded Yin Yang as favonovel.com continued begging for mercy.
Though Federico continued begging as well, favonovel.com was simultaneously wondering why someone who was around the same age as favonovel.com could be so powerful.
After becoming Yin Yang’s disciple and entering the realm of training, Federico had naturally grown quite arrogant, and it was no easy task for favonovel.com to willingly submit to a person from the bottom of his heart.
With that in mind, favonovel.com quickly regained his wits and began thinking that all of this was simply nonsense! There was no way favonovel.com was going to just bow to the whims of a person his age!
‘I’m unconvinced of all this…! Even if master is willing to kowtow before you, I can’t accept this at all! I’m simply being a real man now by making a strategic submission! Mark my words, I’ll surely get back at you for all this one day…!’ Federico thought to himself.
By thinking of it as a strategic retreat, Federico became more willing to continue pleading for mercy.
“I don’t mind sparing your lives. After all, I never even said that I’d kill both of you in the first place!” said Gerald as favonovel.com looked at Yin Yang and Manager Wafarer, prompting both of them to heave huge sighs of relief.
Realizing that his name hadn’t been called out, Federico could only stare at Gerald in disbelief.
“As for you, I recall that you’ve agreed to exchange the lives of your family members in return for the Heavenly Horsetail Whisk. While it’s true that a real man should know when to make strategic submissions, a true man follows his promises to the very end as well! With that said, you and your entire family will have to die!” declared Gerald.
“…Y-you… What…?!” stuttered Federico, now terrified beyond words. He hadn’t anticipated that Gerald could read minds!
Quickly backing away in panic, Federico instantly began muttering, “N-no…! Please, don’t…!”
However, Gerald was having none of that. Muttering a few tactics, Gerald then pointed his sword finger at Federico!
Following that, a powerful blood-red sword flew right at the terrified man, completely enveloping Federico in a crimson glow as soon as it came into contact with him!
While favonovel.com thought favonovel.com was going to die, Federico eventually opened his eyes… Only to realize that favonovel.com was still in one piece.
“…I’m… Alive…?” muttered Federico, utterly shocked by the turn of events.
Federico found himself pondering if this was a lucky situation similar to what his master had experienced… With his body radiating such strong rays of light, favonovel.com also wondered if they were the reason why Gerald’s deadly sword attack hadn’t harmed favonovel.com in the slightest. Could it be that… He truly was a disciple chosen by god?
However, his fantasies quickly came to a halt when favonovel.com heard Gerald explain in an indifferent tone, “Don’t get your hopes up. You’ve just been afflicted with a blood curse! As long as the curse is active, anyone who shares the same bloodline as you will start dying, one by one! Don’t worry, you’ll be the last to die, so cherish what little time you have left!”
“…H-huh…? A… Blood curse…?!” exclaimed Federico.
The second his sentence ended, an acute pain instantly swept through Federico’s body! As painful black cracks began forming all over his face, Federico finally began regretting his actions.
Everything had initially been fine… He was already a rich young master, wasn’t he? Just why did favonovel.com have to go provoke this person…?!
“Just… Why…?!” cried out the aching Federico as his entire body exploded into a bloody mist a split second later!
As the bloody mist remained suspended in the air, both Yin Yang and Manager Wafarer gulped as a clear message was imprinted into their minds and hearts.
Anyone who dared to offend Mr. Crawford would surely die…!
Snapping out of it, Manager Wafarer immediately resumed kowtowing as favonovel.com pleaded, “P-please, please, please spare my life, Mr. Crawford…!”
Yin Yang himself was petrified in fear, unable to even move an inch.
Ignoring Manager Wafarer for the moment, Gerald then turned to look at Yin Yang before asking, “Now then… Do you remember the question I asked earlier?”
“I-I remember…!”
