Manager Heracles
Chapter 7 : Manager Heracles
The Chubby man glanced at leinad eyes, he shuddered as he felt he was staring at a wild animal restraining its aura. ' I'm pretty sure they were poison and this bastard must know it had something to with me yet he remains calm facing me, if he somehow pulls off a miracle and join the 'Agoge training, he definitely would walk a perilous path as a hoplite and won't be mediocre at all, I can't allow it or I will be the first person he comes for.'
"Aren't you going to let me in Coward son?" The chubby man asked coldly
Leinad smiled but didn't open: "no need just say what you have to say, I'll let my mother know"
His mother was currently recovering in her and leinad wasn't about to wake her up, even if she was awake he still wouldn't let her be disturbed by this guy.
The chubby man's eyes grew intent and he said "That has nothing to do with a little boy like you, I insist on speaking to her face to face so go in call her out, or better still I go in and see her instead" saying that he sent a palm towards the door to try to force it wide open or so he tried.
Leinad hand held the door firmly and it didn't budge at all: "she's currently unable to see you if there's anything you need let me know otherwise leave now." With that said he came outside fully and shut the door behind him.
The Chubby man's face grew red in embarrassment that he couldn't wrestle his way in from a mere child but he felt he was too careless and didn't put a lot of pressure.
He glared at leinad and barked: "Get out of the way this instant little boy before I hurt you."
Leinad's all-seeing eyes were active and he noticed the aura the chubby man was emitting was now red, meaning his killing intent has been aroused.
The
Second:orange which signified neutral favorability for leinad
Third: Red signified hatred level for leinad
The deeper the color the more the favored or hated leinad was.
Leinad wasn't worried about how the chubby man felt he wasn't a pushover like before, even though his cultivation wasn't as high as the chubby man he could surely escape unscathed from any attack from the chubby man beside it won't take long for him to surpass the chubby man.
"Manager Heracles what are you doing, I'm afraid it's not right to barge into the home of another."
At this moment a solemn voice came from the side, when leinad turned to look it was his sixty-year-old plus neighbor who spoke up, leinad predecessor had a good impression of him because he was one of the few people that took care of him and his mother when his dad passed on.
The chubby Hercules glared at the old man "this has nothing to do with you old fart, these group of scoundrels are indebted to me and I'm here to collect so mind your business old man."
The old man sighed hearing this but he didn't say another word.
Hercules then turned his attention back at leinad "I've had it with you stinky brat since you are begging for a beating so much I'll grant you your wish " saying that he sent a kick toward leinad.
"Manager Heracles please have Mercy " as Hercules smashed his leg towards leinad the old man stepped forward and pleaded for him to stop but Hercules turned a blind ear to him, now that he had taken action he wouldn't stop.
He used so much of his strength that if leinad got hit, he most likely will end up crippled or worse dead, he planned to eradicate this potential problem known as Leonard.
Bam!
Following the loud collision, a violent gust of wind blew throughout the corridor and dust covered the two of them.
Moments later the air buzzed and the clouds of dust settled, leinad and Heracles could be seen once more but their conditions were the reverse of what everyone expected.
Heracles was now several feet away from the front of leinad's house, blood trickled down from his lips as he held his loins painfully.
He felt a wave of pain and embarrassment as he lay there.
In the distance, a group of poorly dressed commoners gathered and began to murmur Due to the loud commotion
"Isn't that Heracles, the manager of sweat fragrance brothel, how come he's lying on the floor like an ownerless dog" a brown head man whispered to his friend.
"I'm sure it's here to bully Leonard and his mother "
"Yes that's right, he sure gets a kick at doing that kind of thing."
"Seems someone strong had enough of his bullying and chose to interfere"
"That means someone is watching over that lad Leonard, we should be careful with me henceforth"
"Come to think of it, that's very likely"
Leonard was considered trash that couldn't cultivate so No one dare think he had a hand to do with Heracles battered condition.
Upon hearing the conversations behind him, Hercules felt the world should just swallow him up to cover him from this embarrassment, just now he bragged about teaching Leonard a lesson but ended up this way instead.
He gathered himself with great difficulty and glared hatefully at leinad " little bastard don't let me get my hands on you, and tell your mother, that harlot to come back to work immediately or else she must pay twenty taels of silver to sever her contract with us or else..."
Leinad jumped in "or else what?"
"You!" Hercules was annoyed, he was about to say they would personally trash their house but after his collision earlier with leinad earlier he didn't dare say.
"Hmmph just tell your mother what I told you" Hercules snorted before quickly scampering away, he walked so fast he could say he was half running.
He couldn't stay here anymore, that little boy was just too terrifying, the way Leonard countered him just now blew his confidence, with that skill and strengths Leonard would surely join the 'Agoge' training, and at that time could he dare make trouble for them again?
He wouldn't dare if he had more balls.
Leinad shook his head, this guy's skin so thick for him to still have the mind to send threats after receiving a beating.
After Heracles left, the crowd dispersed leaving only leinad and the old man in the corridor.
"Thank you for your help sir" leinad gave a slight bow to the old man.
Only the old man stood up for leinad in front of everyone, he naturally deserved leinad's respect
The old man quickly waved his hand and smiled a self-depreciating smile: "Seems like a young friend didn't need help after at all"
Leinad returned the smile as he bid his farewell and went back inside.
The old man peculiar gaze lingered on leinad's door as muttered some words that only he could hear "such fierce reaction and counter, this lad isn't as simple as he appears to be"
Although the clash between leinad and Heracles was quick the old man saw it all.
He witnessed leinad sidestep evading Heracles' kick and then sent a palm to his loins!.
The precision of leinads movement and attack truly left him in awe.
