Chapter 177


    "vin, please show mercy!" the onlookers cried out in rm, hastily moving to intervene.


    vin suddenly erupted with explosive force, leaving behind a shadowy afterimage as he charged


    headlong toward Marak.


    Marak''splexion changed drastically as he attempted to dodge, but vin closed in on him in an


    instant,nding a fierce punch in Marak''s belly.


    Woah!! Marak''s body arched as he was powerfullyunched away. His body tumbled through the air


    like a leaf caught in a gale before crashing into a stone wall ten meters away, creating a web of


    dense cracks.


    That punch was delivered with ruthless ferocity. Maraky on the ground, curled up tightly. His body


    was tense, his mouth wide open, and he was drooling. His mind went nk except for the piercing


    agony.


    "Lord vin, you must stop!" the guards forcefully positioned themselves in front of vin, sternly


    berating him.


    Who would take responsibility if a life was lost?


    "vin, enough is enough. What has Lord Marak ever done to you?" Vinos and the others rushed


    forward, anxious to shield vin, while the rest scrambled to help Marak up.


    "Nothing." vin was still keen on delivering a couple more punches to Marak, but the guards had


    already surrounded him.


    "Nothing? Then why did you attack him?"


    "Because I wanted to!" vin nced at Marak.


    "You..."


    "vin, screw you..." Marak forced out the bitter words through clenched teeth, having never been


    so humiliated; he couldn''t even stand straight.


    "Mutual feelings, I’m sure. If I don''t finish you off, you''ll do the same to me eventually. We both know


    it... let''s take our time ying this game." vin sneered, then finally left the room.

    Enosto, in charge of the guard duty today, hurried over and saw vin walking out. "What


    happened here?"


    "I caught a spy for Lord Viperbane, seems he was gathering intelligence."


    "Who??"


    "Don''t know." vin shrugged.


    He didn’t know? Inside, Vinos and the others twitched at the corners of their mouths. Was vin


    just shrugging off responsibility with a single phrase?


    A guard came out, sweating profusely, and whispered, "Captain! It''s Marak, Lord Viperbane''s young


    son. vin beat him up."


    "Marak? What''s he doing here? Who let him in?" Enosto''s heart skipped a beat; if the Eight Orders


    took this the wrong way, it would be hard to exin to the Lord of the City.


    "Not sure, we''ve only just found out."


    "Why did vin hit him?"


    "Seems like... there''s some bad blood..." The guards offered a wry smile and shook their heads;


    they werepletely baffled. vin had started the fight without any apparent reason; the only


    exnation was that there had been a previous conflict.


    "Enosto! What are your guards here for? Watching our guests get beaten? Make yourselves useful!


    Your words are like farts!" Vinos and the others didn''t dare yell at vin, so they vented all their


    anger on Enosto.


    Enosto wasn''t one to be trifled with. "Lord Vinos, you seem to have developed quite the taste for


    foul scents, eh?"


    "You..." Vinos fumed with rage.


    "Ha ha!" The noble bystanders outsideughed wildly, whistling carelessly, enjoying themotion.


    "Lord Marak, how did you get in here?" Enosto asked with a grim face. He was responsible for


    today''s guard duty and would certainly be deeply involved in what had just happened. If the Eight


    Orders sought ountability, he would not escape me.


    “Obviously, I walked in!” Marak, his pallid face showing pain, could hardly stand. “Curse that vin,


    I will have my revenge!”


    Vinos and the others were displeased. "What do you mean by that? Is there a sign at the Springs of


    Serenity forbidding Lord Marak from entering?"


    "Escort Lord Marakback to the manor!" Enostomanded, not daring to get involved further,


    leaving it to the manor to handle.


    "At once!" The guards swarmed in.


    "What are you doing!" Vinos and the others tried to intervene but were roughly pushed aside as two


    burly guards took hold of Marak, forcefully managing him.


    "Let me go!" Marak raged as well.


    "Lord Marak, please honor us with your presence at the manor." Enosto deliberately raised his


    voice, indicating it wasn''t an arrest, but an invitation. He didn''t want to give anyone a handle to


    cause more trouble for the city manor.
