The Play of Destiny - 2

Aldeinne sobbed as he tried to pick his father up. "Daddy, are you okay? Please, stand up."

Greg stood up with great difficulty and spoke to his son. "I am okay, just stay behind me."

He put his son behind him and faced everyone.

Niloy felt something wrong about seeing them.

"Everyone beat him and make him blurt out where they are!" Jacob ordered everyone.

Six Qi Refinement cultivators came forward and started beating up Greg heavily. Meanwhile, Aldeinne was held back by someone.

He was screaming at everyone. "Please let go of daddy. He didn't do anything."

Jacob came before him and asked. "Your daddy committed a heinous crime. He let two criminals stay with him."

Right then, Aldeinne knew why they were doing this. He looked at Jacob and said."They were not criminals; they were the nicest people. You guys are the criminals."

Slap

Jacob gave a strong slap at Aldeinne's right cheek, making a red handprint. Aldeinne flung to the side and squirmed in pain.

Niloy frowned upon seeing that. "Oi, st- "

However, he was stopped by the father of the ones that got killed. "Are you going to side with criminals?"

"This," Niloy couldn't help but grit his teeth. He squeezed his hands as he thought of the punishment for doing that.

The victim's father signaled others with his eyes to be ready to stop Niloy.

Greg couldn't keep his cool after witnessing his son being slapped and crying.

He got out of the circle forcefully and came before Jacob.

Bam

He punched Jacob's face in surprise. But he was just an ordinary man, his punch didn't do anything.

Still, it managed to rile up Jacob more.

"You bastard." Jacob drew his sword out and slashed Greg's chest.

"Ack!" Greg gave a low scream and then slumped to the ground. The light in his eyes slowly started to fade away as he gave one last look at his son, who was looking at him with wide eyes.

He started to think of if bringing Gale and Jasmine to his home was a mistake. He wanted to just have some friends for his son. 'I don't know what I did, but I am sorry, son.'

The light in Greg's eye was gone.

Niloy was stumped by this scene. He didn't expect because of someone would lose his father.

He wasn't able to recover as Aldeinne sprinted forward at Jacob with his sword.

"I will kill you!" Aldeinne said this while sobbing and running with all his strength.

Niloy saw Jacob's sword moving and knew what was about to happen. But four people held him back, including the victim's father.

He knew he would be late if he tried to free himself. So he shouted in the hope that someone would stop.

"STOP IT!!"

However, it seems his voice was inaudible as Jacob inserted his sword into Aldeinne's chest.

"Glrarg" Aldeinne stopped with his eyes wide open, and blood spilled out from his mouth.

"Cut the roots before they grow back." Jacob said it coldheartedly. "I don't want some dog to bite me back."

Niloy's fuse blew, and he forced the surrounding people away. He yelled at Jacob. "What have you done!?"

He was about to rush forward when suddenly a guy threw a pill into his open mouth. He gulped it accidentally and felt his eyes become drowsy. He slumped to his knees and then lay on the ground.

His eyes closed as he whispered. "You will pay for this."

Aldeinne's body lay on the ground, lifeless, with no one even caring about a small child's death. All seem to be in their own world.

"Now, what do we do?" One of the masked.

Jacob said after some thought."Let's go search for them in the vicinity. They should not have not gone far by now."

Puchi

Suddenly, they heard someone getting paled by something. They looked outside to see a boy and a girl. The boy had his spear inserted into a guy's chest, and the girl was quietly standing beside him.

The boy and the girl were none other than Gale and Jasmine.

Gale looked at everyone with a rage-filled pair of eyes. "You guys don't have to look for us. We have come for you."

After saying that, he didn't wait for anyone's response. He dashed forward, killing everyone in his sight.

Jasmine also joined the fray. She leaped towards the close to a hundred men and like a beast on its prey.

"Kill them!" Jacob shouted at everyone to go swarm them.

...

Two minutes prior to this.

Gale and Jasmine were running through the forest. When suddenly Gale stopped in his tracks.

Jasmine said with concern."Is everything okay?"

Gale grabbed his chest and spoke with a shaky voice. "Jasmine, why do I feel like something bad is about to happen? I feel like I will lose someone."

Jasmine also became confused, but then all of a sudden, she also started to have this feeling. "I do not know, Gale. I am also feeling that."

"Who we will lose? We don't kn- "Jasmine just said that, and they looked at each other.

They both ran back, towards Greg's house. They knew they might lose their lives if they went back. But they knew if they didn't go now, they might regret it and live with guilt in the future.

As they were running, they were just saying one thing in their minds non-stop.

'Please be alright.'

When they came close, they heard a shout. "STOP IT!!"

Their eyes widened, and they went full throttle.

However, they were still late.

They were presented with the sight of Greg and Aldeinne's dead bodies.

The rage inside Gale bubbled out, which led to the current scenario.

...

Slicing a guy's head off, Gale looked at Jacob."I will destroy every single thing you love."
