7 Chapter 7 : Slaves

Author's note: I have edited all the previous chapters. I am not sure if it's better or worse. So go give it a reread if you have time and give your opinion. But there is no major change in the story, I just gave more details about surroundings and the fight that happened last chapter. So you can still continue without giving a reread.

"Anything?"

"Yes yes we will do anything. Please spare us. Don't kill us." Two brothers cried out loud.

"You want to be my slave? But the cost will be very high for being my slave and I think it would be better to die than being my slave." Zarek said with an innocent look almost as though he was concerned about them.

"We will be your slave. Please don't kill us." two brothers begged with a crying face. Their face was really messed up, tears mixed with blood, bruised, sollowen, Bleeding nose and lips.

"Punch." Zerik punched the face of the short haired boy upward who was on his knees and hands looking down, sending him flying upward.

"W..h...y?" The short haired boy said while falling on his back. After saying this word he fell flat on the ground.

"I am not going to kill you both, be glad with that." Zarek replied with a straight face looking down on them. In the first place he wasn't going to kill them, just teach them some lessons. But now that the opportunity to use them came, why not grab it?

"Punch" Zerik also punched the long haired boy in the face who was seated in the same position.

"Punch" Zerik moved on top of them who was laying on the ground and punched one of their faces.

"Cough cough."

"Punch" Zerik again punched the other person.

"Cough" More blood came out of their mouth and nose.

"Punch"

"Cough"

"Punch"

"Cough cough"

"Punch….." It continued for some minute before both of them were on the verge of collapsing.

Zarek picked up one of them grabbing his hair and pulled his face before Zarek's face.

"Ahhh" he screamed in a low voice.

"If anything about today's incident came out of your mouth it will be the last day you will ever see light in your life." Zarek said with a smile and then Zerik punched them in the face knocking them unconscious.

Next day in the medical firm of the regal artificer sect. Those 2 boys were laying in the bed just getting their consciousness back. In front of them the doctor and a sect guardian were discussing something.

"These kids were brutally attacked by some crazy man. He assaulted them with only brute force till they lost consciousness. These kids must have experienced a traumatic event so we should leave them and not interrogate them now. But I have examined them and done everything needed. So they will be fine in a few weeks if I support them with my aura." the doctor said to the sect guardian and left the room with the sect guardian.

"But who did this? When I went to look out for the sect last night I found this letter in front of me which said to go to a specific location if I don't want the disciples of our sect to die. I rushed there and found those 2 unconscious." the sect guardian said after leaving the room.

"At least thanks to that letter you were able to bring them to me on time. If you were a little late they might have died because of excessive blood loss. And seeing their wounds I think the attacker was an outsider and he must be the one who sent you the letter. But I am not sure why?" The doctor replied.

"How can you be sure?" the sect guardian asked.

"I'm not sure either. There was a trace of a technique used on one of them in his chest. And it's definitely not a technique of our sect."

"Then we must deploy an investigation team to investigate it thoroughly. We can't let some crazy outsider roam in our sect."

While they were discussing the matter a third person came with a red wooden lunchbox.

"Greetings doctor shen and sect guardian." Zarek bowed and continued, "I heard my friends were injured somehow. I am here to see them and I brought some food for them."

"Okay go inside. But don't take too much time, they need time to rest."

"It won't take long." Zarek said and went inside.

After entering the room Zarek saw the brothers laying on separate beds with almost their whole body wrapped in bandages.

The instant the brother saw Zarek they started trembling.

Zarek smiled and opened his mouth, "How are you doing my friends?" Zarek got close to their bed and continued, "Oops sorry that's too high for you, my SLAVES." Zarek focused on the 'slaves' word. And the brother's body trembled even more.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Zarek Felkas, your master from now on. And you are….hmm...Even though I found your name when gathering your information I forgot it as I thought it was insignificant. Well I guess I will continue with short haired and long haired brother for now." Zarek said as the brothers weren't in a situation to even talk because of their bandage.

"Oh, your master brought food for you." Zarek went in the middle of their beds and put the wooden lunchbox on the table between their beds. While both brothers were staring at every move of Zarek, sweating and trembling continuously.

Zarek brought his face besides the long haired boy's face who was the older brother and whispered in his ear, "Swallow this food with everything that happened yesterday. Understood?"

The long haired brother nodded several times.

"Good." Zarek patted his shoulder and started walking to the door in silence.

'I beat them up even after they said they would be my slave because if I had spared them then even if they followed everything I said they would just have grudges against me in their heart. And they would just backstab me if the chances come. But now that I have traumatized them to the point they tremble just by seeing me they would think 10 times before backstabbing me.'

Zarek stopped just before the door and said with a smile, "I will be leaving the sect for some time. If you guys get discharged before my return, tell me everything that happens in the sect when I return."

After saying that he left the room.

'After seeing Zerik able to use battle arts that I know. I am becoming more and more curious about Zerik. It's becoming exhilarating. I have to experience real fights and test Zerik more and more.' Zarek's smile grew larger.
