Chapter 136 136. 7-Days, 6-Nights Vacation
"Sorry buddy but I can't let you kill this plague in front of him, I suggest doing it out of my sight, You low-IQ man."
Natasha stood over the fallen body of Jake spike in a very casual tone as if right now she was not the one who stopped Jake from turning into what is known as a warhead of the country.
She rather than being excited was dissatisfied, making Alex curious which made her dissatisfied.
"Tec~, If this low-iq man tried to kill this plague of man out of my sight, This might save my life but no, This brain-dead man did it in front of me."
Well, Alex gets the reason for her dissatisfaction in her mumbling, She was hoping that if Jake killed Alex then Alia did not have a reason to do anything to her.
But that only works if she is not aware of Alex being killed. If it was happening in front of her eyes and she did nothing, Then she too had to rest 6 feet under with Alex and this stupid man.
After all, She technically was not a diver or Alia but a bodyguard but a problem is that Alia did not have her protection making her do a part-time job as a driver.
But the situation arose, and She had to protect someone's body to justify her need, If not? Why should Alia pay her salary as a bodyguard for doing a driver's job, Which is 10 times more? Alia can just appoint a driver and save a lot of money.
So this is also the reason she helped Alex. She can't lose her job now. They're going to the sale of jewellery soon. She needs that extra money to buy that limited edition stuff.
Alex ignored Natasha. He does not bother to argue with a knowingly dumb woman like her, He should just ask Alia to take care of her, After all Alia used to deal with Natasha for years, So it will be more efficient as Alia has quite much experience in that field.
He put those thoughts aside and focused on the main thing. He looked at Jake who right now was laying on the ground without even the strength to stand up looking at not Natasha who was pretty close to destroying all his hope but at Alex with infinite hate in his eyes.
If he can, He once again wanted to try and burn his core, Even if he destroy it he did not care, All he want now was to rip that head off from the dirty body of Alex, For that even if he had to sacrifice the hope of ever becoming S-Rank, He was ready to do it.
But the problem is that there is no spiritual power left in his body, Not only that when he got interrupted from all spiritual power he concentrated to burn before exploding breaking all
meridian and sweeping through it.
So right now in his body was not even the strength to move a finger, Not to mention trying to kill Alex, Who was surprisingly well-trained, So he though unwilling had to give up on the plan of killing him here.
His best option is to wait till his help arrives here and they wipe this man from the face of the earth but he was not that patient man, he decided to ask his assassins to do the job.
'He's mocking me, he's definitely mocking me.'
Jake gritted his teeth as he heard the words of Alex. He was sure he was doing it to humiliate him. There is no proof of it but he just knows, Which is bigger than any proof.
But no matter how much he wanted to show this ugly bastard what happens when someone messes with a Dragon Lord but unfortunately he can't do anything.
Right now he was like a fish on the chopping board. If someone wants they can attack him though he was not without means, He still has that thing his master had given him for emergencies.
'Should I use it?'
pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ While Alex was still going on and on about what Jake did was wrong and all, Jake reached out to his chest and held the pendant he was wearing tightly in his hand.
He was hesitating, Even though there is -100 hatred for Alex, Which pretty much wipes out all sanity of a person for revenge, But the consequences of using this thing are resisting him from using it.
He knew once he used it, He can't go back at all. He would be an internationally wanted criminal and be like a rat in an alley, Hiding from the world.
And that's not the scary part, His Dragon gate will also be destroyed and he will be on the hit list of The Nobles, So he even after that immense hatred controlling himself from using this thing.
'Fuck!! Does he want to use THAT?!!'
Alex already awakened his inner Karen, So he was going on and on, Others other than Natasha did not mind though as face value is justice but when he was waiting to give Jake a package of 7-days and 6-night with 2 times food in place worth millions, He saw Jake holding that pendant.
Alex's eyes became wide open as he saw it. He really did not think that Jake would use something that destructive here in the city, This is why he dared to comfort him.
After all, that pendent is from the forbidden tomb, Which Jake's master finds by coincidence and gives to Jake After he was betrayed by his comrade for his protection as there are few S-Rank Jake provoked.
And now that Jake did not have S-Rank power, So no rule prevents other S-Ranks from attacking him, So for protection she gives that to him.
Alex knew once that thing set off, Even S-Rank had to retreat from it, As its destructiveness is so much that it can even kill S-Rank.
This is an artefact from the previous era for a reason, So Alex was a little careful, Though he will survive as the broken passive of his god-level acting putting him pretty much in invincible mode but he had to worry about others.
Only Xiao Bai, His sister Amara and Helen are able to be safe in this whole city and 10 kilometres are around it. Everything from small houses to buildings, grass to big trees, Everything else other than their living or not will be turned into carbon laying on the ground.
This is the power of that little thing and that too when ignited by a currently powerless guy like Jake, If it is t used by S-Rank, The power of it also increases a lot.
So he did not wait for a second and decided to do what he had always thought of doing but never got the opportunity for it.
He quickly with telepathy asked Xiao Bai to seal off the space and came to Jake, Just when hate won over the rationality of Jake and was ready to use this artefact ready to cause the most destructive disaster in the century.
Seeing that he did not have time, As Jake was about to chant a mantra to activate that pendant, Alex moved and...Started to sing.
"There used to be a man."
As he started singing the whole world felt frozen over, Even Jake who was burning with hatred stopped looking at Alex with a confused gaze, The flame of revenge also got frozen by it.
A vivid picture appeared in everyone's eyes though depending on what was best suitable for them they imagined the face of a man in their memory.
A man in singing was doing nothing but the everyday odd job, over and over again, He woke up, So tiresome odd job until the sun in the blue sky vanished and the twinkling sky adorned by the lustrous moon before going back to sleep, Then repeat all over again.
This is all his song at first but soon things started to change, Man became old and not able to do his job properly, He was now often getting hurt, At first, it was a slight miss of a hammer on his finger or things falling on his toes.
This all was a nuisance not that big of a deal but because there was no time for those injuries to heal and new ones just came every day, It started to increase, Soon his whole body was filled with injuries.
No place on his body did not have unhealed bruises including no-no area somehow but that man kept working, He did not have the option if he did not work he was still going to die from hunger.
So this goes on for a few more years. Though only a few years had passed, This man now looks 10 years older. His injuries were not filled with pus, and gave a very bad foul smell.
He was rotting alive but he still kept working, Working and working, getting injured again and again. The pain now became a friend of his so even pain did not bother him.
Until one day, He woke up one last time, Lifted his tools last time, Felt pain also last time and so did he get injured for the last time. After that day he slept eternally and peacefully.
There was no pain, no work and no inconvenience of his old body, He was free and happy - The end.
