Chapter 10 Show of Power

"Don't blame me for being straightforward". Lucas didn't waste anymore time and turned to face the annoying man who had blocked his way. By now, the young man was fuming with rage for being ignored.

"You fucking bandit, not only do your kind rob and murder people, you dare try to pass yourself off as a normal civilian. Today, I, Chai kun, will put you in your place permanently".

As soon as he finished speaking those words, the gazes people shot at Lucas was filled with contempt and disgust. The words that Chai Kun said had definitely plucked their heart strings. However, Lucas gave out a lazy yawn.

"If you want to put me in my place, you have to have the ability".

" Hump, presumptuous" At that moment, Chai Kun gave out a cold snort. "I will show you kid what the power of a fifth level Dawn tier grade can do to a wretch like you". At that moment he dashed forward with full force and let his energy explode out of his body.

His greedy eyes now contained hints of rage as his robe bellowed slightly even though there was no wind acting on it. He curled his hand into a fist and drew back while he put one foot forward. Then he punched forward with all his might.

A cold sneer appeared on his face. This was the martial skill his uncle had gotten for him from his workplace connections. It was an unranked martial skill made low grade, this kind of move was incredibly fancy with not much attacking might behind it backing it up.

"Unranked grade/ Cleaving Fist".

At this point, Lucas finally made his move. His eyes were full of disdain to the weak martial tactic that his opponent had used to try and defeat him like he was some kind of kindergartner. Due to the fact that he was scared of that man back in the forest, he had deliberately held back his aura with a secret technique that belonged to the Fallen angel. He had suppressed it to the fourth level of the dawn tier grade so as to make him feel he wasn't a threat. Now this clown actually dared to find trouble with him, how could he not be enraged.

Lucas that had already prepared himself agilely twisted his body to escape the incoming fist. His body slid to the side making Chai Kun's attack hit nothing but air. However, that was just a normal evasive maneuver. "This Chai Kun wants to harm me with his insignificant skill, hump, he clearly doesn't know how high the heavens are".

Core energy flowed from his body and gathered at his foot at the bottom of his legs. He jumped up into the air and spun around sending out a kick towards the totally unguarded Chai Kun who barely had enough time to turn around. In his past life, this would have been called an axe kick, however he changed it because he didn't like the name.The leg strike that had yellow faint traces of energy coiling around it like a landed on Chai Kun's ribs.

"Crash Kick"

"Ahhhhhh". At that moment, the arrogant Chai Kun was knocked unconscious as he was sent flying with one strike directly flying further from the city.

"Little Kun! Seeing Chai Kun shoot out like an arrow, the guard didn't dally and rushed forward in an attempt to grab his flying nephew before he suffered more injuries from crashing. Lucas coldly scoffed.

Chai kun landed on Chai lees arms and unconsciously spouted out blood. His whole body trembled slightly.

At that point, Lucas who was looking at the scene appeared to be in deep thought as he slowly mumbled. " My skills are still rusty here, i should have aimed a little higher up the ribs and closer to the spine, If i did, the point in which I hit him should have at least paralyzed the shoulder completely".

Although his voice was low, people around him still heard the mumbling and their heads all had one thought. "How vicious".

"You! How dare you harm my only nephew and even plan to cripple his arm, it seems like you don't fear death". The guard named Chai Lee looked at Lucas with an enraged expression while a threatening aura rose from his body.

Lucas was completely dumbfounded but he soon smirked coldly, "Your shameless nephew coveted my things and tried to harm me but according to you, I can only stand and wait to be beaten up and can't defend myself. Weren't you the one that said that you won't interfere as long as it is outside the city, or are you going to be so shameless as to try and attack me now?"

"You...!" Chai Lee was currently seething with anger, however he didn't dare make a move. This kid had just pulled out all his cards and it had caught him in a pit.

The travellers who had come to Blackburn city started discussing I'm hushed voices. It was apparent that they were talking about the shamelessness of Chai Kun and Chai Lee.

This made Chai lees expression turn extremely gloomy, however, it was because of this that he didn't make a move. If he attacked this youth, then the word would spread concerning the guards of the city bullying travellers for their money. Not only would it affect their image as Blackburn guards, it could also affect the city's business as well if people decided to abstain from Blackburn. At that time, the rich families would not let this matter go without someone's head rolling as a compensation starter.

Under the killing intent filled gaze, Lucas strode into the city proudly and disappeared from their sight, he had never even taken that Chai kun seriously from the beginning. In the mirror world, he was at the fourth level of the Dawn tier grade two months ago. Now according to the dimensional laws of the mirror world he had spent another two months, even a fool with no talent would not remain at the same level, much less someone like him.

The city was actually very lively and active, there were lots of stalls selling unranked weapons and clothes as well as food and fruits. The shouts of traders, hawkers and the sounds of pounding iron as well as the footsteps of marching patrolling guards added to the scenery.

This was his first time in the city since he got to this world. However, it wasn't long before he realized that he was being followed. He had been walking for several minutes, but two figures had been constantly tailing him for a while. However, would there be able to follow him undetected? The answer was absolutely not!

Lucas didn't do much, he just blended into the crowd and swayed around a bit before shaking off those two people tailing him. He had blended into the crowd and now he had disappeared from their sights.

"Did he notice us?" A short stubby youth looked at his companion next to him as the asked. "The streets were filled with people, we must have just escaped us by chance, otherwise, it is impossible for him to notice us". The average looking youth that looked a little over twenty with average height said with full certainty.

"However, it will be difficult to explain this to our superiors and chai Kun's uncle".

..........

Lucas successfully threw off his pursuers like child's play, he then wandered around a bit and found an inn to rest in. He spent a hundred bronze coins to pay for his room and went in. He sat on his bed crossed legged and meditated. At this moment he was deep in thought.

"I wonder what happened to old man Zander? I wonder if he managed to escape?" Back at that time, he had been running from a spiked hyena and split up. Then he ran into a cave and accidentally triggered his mirror world.

"I need to elevate my strength to a whole new level. Only then will I be able to return to the Graymoore family". Lucas was I no rush to return back, if he did, he would most likely be assassinated to make sure he died for real this time. The graymoore family was known for a lot of things, one of them was because of their family seal.

Any direct family member, as long as they had graymoore blood flowing through their veins would have their souls bound by a family seal.

It was because of this that Ivan and his men didn't directly kill Lucas that day when they had ambushed them, as they were bound by the Family seal and were unable to kill each other. Still, that didn't stop them from selling both of them as slaves after they crippled their cultivation. Zander was the only one among the lot that wasn't directly from the graymoore family, his past was rather complicated to an extent that even Lucas didn't have a clue about it.

"Tonight is not the night to cultivate, I need to blend into the city well, presently the chance that the slave silo is after me is relatively high, now there is the guards at the city gate to be wary of as well. What I need now is to find an influential force as my backer, that way not only will I be able to gain resources to improve my strength, it will also act as a deterrent force to those forces making trouble for me.

Lucas said to himself solemnly, strength right now was all that mattered to him.

After a while, Lucas walked out of the inn and headed into the busy market, his goal was to get information and buy some equipment as well as new clothes. After all, he couldn't possibly dress like a bandit throughout his stay here. However he soon encountered a problem.

Nobody in the market was willing to sell anything to him. Everyone purposely tried not to maintain eye contact and avoided him like a plague. It didn't take a genius to figure out what the reason was. Because of the darn clothing he was trying to get rid of.

Truth be told, whether he liked it or not, he was dressed like a bandit and no one in this city were friendly to bandits. Sometimes while walking, he would feel the hateful stares surrounding him.

It was clear that these people must have had some bad experiences. However, Lucas didn't care about that right now, he walked around for a while but still didn't find any shop that was willing to sell any new clothing to him.

"Hey you, you looking for a place to go shopping?" Lucas turned around to see a man standing at the back of an alley. His cowboy hat and oddly dressed clothes gave him off as someone inconspicuous.

"So what if I am?" Lucas replied the man filled with interest. "Follow me".

The man didn't say another word and proceeded to walk into the alleyway. Lucas raised and eyebrow and followed the slightly strange man. Anyone seeing this would think that Lucas had just fallen for a trap. However, who was he?

He was the former ARK 1 of earth, he could clearly feel that this man harboured no ill intentions towards him and his intuition was hardly wrong. Lucas followed the man down the alley while they made a few twist and turns. The man however was slightly stunned by Lucas's casual way to just follow a stranger down an alleyway. Of course that didn't mean he was trying to hurt him or something similar.

.....

Soon, they can to a small store that looked wretched and unkept. From the way Lucas looked at it, this was most likely a pawn store back on earth where you could by stuff for lower prices

The man walked into the building, Lucas casually walked in as well like someone who wasn't the slightest bit of danger. However, his senses were in full alert for even the slightest oddity. "My name is Gary Cornell, am the owner of this store, I suppose you need some clothing and perhaps equipment".

The man that looked to be in his thirties swept Lucas up and down with a single glance. Lucas didn't mind as he quietly drew out a silver coin to show that he meant business. This caused Gary's eyes to light up as he adjusted himself and walked to a store rack. From there he took out some clothes that weren't too casual but weren't too outstanding and placed them on top of the counter.

It was a pair of normal clothes that wasn't too eye-catching. It would be perfect for blending into the surroundings and much better than his stolen bandit clothes. "I like this one, however, this is just for casual clothing. I need one in case I ever need to go hunting or take jobs that involves me killing". Lucas said indifferently like killing was no big deal.

Gary, the store owner was slightly taken aback. This kid talks about killing like it's as easy as drinking water. However he walked into the back of his store.

Few minutes later he came back with a black box that was a little covered in dirt. It was obvious it had been I'm that place for a few years at most. This caused Lucas to frown as he was worried that this guy would bring out cheap old battle clothes that would tear the moment they came into battle. However, when he opened the suitcase, Lucas gasped in delight as he looked at the clothing's that were laid in the box.
