15 C15 - MOTHERFUCKER!

"What. Did. You. Just. Say?"

Maren slowly turned around towards the youth, flames of anger crackling in his eyes. Unfortunately for the arrogant man, he didn't notice the danger he was in and kept on taunting Maren.

"Frog in a well, not knowing how high the heavens are! Do you really believe you could offend my Koda clan? Laughable!"

Mockery and disdain filled the man's face while he continued throwing insults at Maren. The poor idiot didn't even notice that he just dug his own grave!

Maren's eyes twitched. He quickly scanned the crowd.

'13 Practitioner-Realm bodyguards huh. The Koda really deserve their title of overlord.'

Unfortunately for the young master though, Practitioner-Realm small fries wouldn't even enter Maren's eyes. An unnoticeable vibration went through the air, targeting the bodyguards. Nobody realized that a second later, all 13 experts turned into empty hulls, their brains turned into mush, slowly leaking out their noses.

"Niita, break his legs."

Outwardly, Maren appeared to be calm, and his voice sounded out softly when he gave the order.

"HAHAHAHA! Are you joking?"

Tears from the laughter were stuck in the young master's eyes. Who did this masked kiddo think he was? A clown?

But a second later, his expression turned stiff. This masked woman actually started approaching him! Did she actually want to fulfill this ridiculous joke of an order? Did she think the name 'Koda' was there only for show? Hillarious!

"Guards, kill them."

He had enough of the show. Those two offended him, a nephew of this city's sole lord, and now they had to pay the price for their actions now. That's what he thought at least, but none of his bodyguards showed up!

'What's going on???'

The oblivious young man was quite confused. How could he have guessed that all the elite guards his uncle sent to protect him were already killed off long ago!

"Don't come any closer woman!"

He began feeling scared. Although he was a young master of the Koda family, as a branch inheritor he wouldn't get many resources, meaning Niita's Cultivation was higher than his. He wouldn't worry if his guards had shown up, but none made their appearance. That meant he was basically a lamb ready for slaughter right now!

Niita ignored his threats and closed in slowly. Fear made the young master unable to move, and he nearly pissed himself in terror!

Maren didn't even bother looking at the process, rather spending his time scrolling through the system's shop.

*CRACK*

A disgusting noise sounded out, followed by a moment of silence. Then a bloodcurdling scream echoed throughout the street.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH"

The young man's face was contorted into a grimace of pain. He was laying on the ground, his two legs twisted unnaturally.

Only now did Maren pay attention again. Just when he was about to open his mouth again, a furious voice sounded out.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY SON YOU BASTARDS!"

Immediately afterward, a domineering aura of the Peak-Practitioner realm pressured the people in the vicinity.

"It's lady Koda!"

"Those two brats are done for, this is the city lord's sister!"

Niita was forced on her knees by the aura, but Maren just revealed an interesting look on his face, not affected much.

'Is this woman stupid?'

A mocking smile flashed through his face.

"YOU ARE DEAD! HOW DARE YOU HURT MY PRECIOUS SON!"

Suddenly a light flashed, and from it appeared a cold looking woman. She immediately thrust out her hands, directing an attack towards Maren and Niita.

The pressure brought by an attack of the Peak-Practitioner realm sent shivers through all of the spectators, and Niita's consciousness nearly crumbled into pieces. Practitioner-realm Cultivators had transcended mortal standards after all and touched upon the secrets of the soul. that were essential on the path to immortality.

"Mother, those bastards dare to break my legs!"

The young master had a gloating expression on his face after the woman appeared. His mother was second only to the core elders of the family and the city lord! Those two brats would learn what it meant to offend the wrong person!

When the woman saw the severe injuries her son received, her face contorted. Although the broken legs could easily be treated with the resources of the clan, nobody ever dared to defy the Kodas in this city. It was a major slap in the face!

In face of the powerful attack, Maren just stood there smilingly. After it got close he casually waved his hand, dispersing the energy. An instant later, the woman spat out blood and fell from the sky. The rebound from attacking a Divinity-realm existence nearly killed her. If it wasn't for Maren restricting his Cultivation to the Ascension-realm at the moment, there wouldn't even be dust of her left behind!

"Who are you?!"

Flames of fury were burning in the woman's heart, yet she didn't dare to attack again. She fully knew that she'd die should she try that.

Yet, Maren just ignored her, instead, he was sending a message to the auction house's manager, calling him over.

While waiting for the man to get over, he used his aura to force everybody in the street to kneel down. Feeling the overwhelming pressure, the woman's pupils constricted.

'What realm did this brat reach?! The pressure he can exert is even stronger than my brother's!'

A moment later, the manager arrived and, after seeing the city lord's sister as well as her son kneeling on the ground, showed a troubled expression. But he still gave a bow to Maren, ignoring those two completely.

'What retards! This grandmaster is at the Ascension-realm! How stupid are they to offend him!'

He couldn't help but lament over the mother and son pair's stupidity.

"Sir grandmaster, what do you wish from this one?"

He humbled himself before Maren, his sentence scaring the shit out of all people currently at the plaza. This young brat was the legendary grandmaster that was making this auction possible? No wonder!

Ignoring the trembles and sweat that appeared on the two kneeling fools' foreheads, Maren calmly turned towards the manager.

"Ban the Koda family from this auction."

Silence. Absolute silence. Not a single spectator dared to even breath.

"Yes."

The manager acknowledged the order and turned to leave, preparing to make the necessary arrangements.

Maren then finally paid attention to the two people that stupidly annoyed him before, a raging fire in his eyes threatening to consume the world.

"You two..."

He paused for a second.

"... are dead."

He made the statement like it was an everyday statement, but fear started to grip the hearts of every person present. This kid was dangerous!

"Niita, go inside. I wouldn't want to let you see what happens next."

She nodded and entered the auction. Maren then thoughtfully stared at the mother and son pair.

"Now, what do I do with you, huh?"

As if providing him with an answer to his question, a light flashed in his eyes.

"Ah, I know."

He turned towards the arrogant mother with a devious smile, sending shivers down her back.

"Now you see, I think trash like you shouldn't be allowed to reproduce."

Waving his hand, a wave of invisible Qi ripped the young master's pants to shreds. Maren then playfully pointed at him and said;

"Castrate him."

"BASTAR-"

The woman was about to curse, but a hit from Maren sent her smashing into the ground, blood leaking from her mouth. He then pulled her up by the hair, playfully looking her right in the eyes.

"Now, now. I didn't allow you to speak, did I?"

His voice sounded disgustingly sweet at the moment. He then forced open the woman's mouth with one hand, gripping her tongue. Realizing what he was about to do, her eyes constricted in fear.

"I think your misbehavior has to be punished, right?"

Maren was no different than a demon in the woman's mind.

*SPLASH*

With a soft ripping sounded, he pulled out the woman's tongue, making her blood spray out of her mouth.

"But I get it, I get it. Making you castrate your own son sounds boring."

His tone seemed to sound understanding, but a bad sense of foreboding started to bloom in everybody's hearts.

-2 points deducted

The system's message rang out after Maren bought a little item from the shop. With a slight flash, he took out a tiny bottle from his inventory and walked over towards the obnoxious young master.

He shoved down the liquid inside the bottle down the man's throat brutally and just a second later, the brat's eyes turned red from lust.

What Maren bought was a highly potent, Ascension-tier aphrodisiac. Giving it to a mere Mortal-realm brat would give the latter enough... vigor... to even fuck an elephant to death, not to mention a mere half-dead, Practitoner-realm bitch.

Just seconds later, the red-eyed youth started crawling towards the closest woman he could find. Dragging his broken and disabled legs behind him, he slowly closed in on his mother, who was watching in fear, unable to do anything as Maren's aura locked up her limps. She had to watch in agony as her own son slowly climbed onto her, with unconcealed lust burning in his eyes.

With a quick though, Maren shattered all of the woman's acupoints, making her permanently disabled, and turned to enter the auction, as he didn't want to waste his time looking at their performance.

Just when he was about to leave, he heard a commotion coming from inside the venue.

"How dare you, do you know who I am? Are you not scared of my Koda family you bastards?"

'Hahaha, nicely done manager, perfect timing in sending out this retarded families head!'

A demon's smile was shown beneath the mask.
