Slap! Slap! Slap!
"Oh? Am I supposed to be scared?" Vi suddenly asked innocently, showing the face of being confused.
But looking at Vi right now, all the people surrounding him had their expressions darkened. Veins bulged out on their heads and they found it hard to suppress their agitation.
This brat must really be trying to cause trouble on purpose!
"Don't be too arrogant! Just because you defeated us all before, it doesn't mean that we don't have any means to defeat you." Pedro, the muscular man, suddenly responded as he roared. He was the first one among his group who lost his composure as he pointed his finger at Vi furiously.
"Is that so? That's too bad." Vi, however, only responded with these calm words. And then another yawn followed suit.
"There's no point talking with him! Let's go and attack him all at once!" Pablo, the one who used a bow as a weapon, roared. And it appeared that their thoughts were in unison as his comrades had immediately got into their position.
In their minds, even if they couldn't beat this brat, they should at least do their best to buy some time until their comrades arrived. They thought that if they failed to hold this brat, he might try to run away and escape.
What would happen to them if that happened?! Everything would be for naught and there would be no one to blame anymore for killing those many slimes. If so, then the anger of the young miss could only be vented to them as they would suffer their rightful punishment.
"Sigh, you all are getting a bit too excited." Just as all the five people who had just arrived were about to make a move, they suddenly heard a voice so calm that their intention was put to a halt. But shortly after that, they suddenly found themselves incapable of moving.
What was going on now? All the five of them had their eyes widened in shock. Even when they used their full strength, they failed to move their limbs and bodies. They felt that something like a vine had entangled them that prevented them from moving.
"You... What did you do to us?! If you are a man, hurry and release us!" Pedro couldn't bare being immobile as he roared and glared at Vi furiously.
"Tsk! Tsk! So loud. Slave number 1, slap him hard for me. Make sure, he won't be so loud again." Vi clicked his tongue twice as he shook his head and said. After which, he commanded Juan around him and pointed his finger at Pedro.
Juan, on the other hand, didn't try to delay as he obeyed the order right away. As if a fierce beast that had found its prey, he rushed towards Pedro to execute the command.
"You... What are you going to d... SLAP!" Pedro was just about to finish his words when Juan had already arrived before him. There wasn't a single second of delay when this guy he thought of as a friend slapped him hard right on his face. Blood came out of his mouth, his right cheek immediately got swollen. It was so painful that after that slap, Pedro immediately retracted his gaze and looked at Juan to complain as he roared, "How dare yo..."
But then again...
Slap!
Another loud slap resounded in the area. This time Pedro was hit on the other side of his cheek as it also became swollen. Looking at him right now, he'd become so much similar to a pig.
Just what the hell was going on here? What was with this guy and he was trying to attack him? Did he do anything wrong to his friend for him to act that way?! Pedro was just about to complain yet again, but then...
Slap!
Slap!
Slap!
...
Pedro didn't have the chance to speak about his feelings as he immediately got slapped hard whenever he tried to open his mouth. Looking at him now, he was beaten black and blue. Even his parents wouldn't be able to recognize him anymore.
The other four men who watched the sudden and gruesome occurrence all swallowed a mouthful of saliva. They didn't dare to question anything, afraid that they would be the next person who would suffer the same consequences as Pedro.
But, of course, it didn't stop them from thinking about what in the world was going on. Why was their friend, Juan, attacking Pedro? From the looks of it, this guy seemed to obey the command of that brat before them. Why would he do that? Did he betray them already? Wasn't he afraid that the guild would punish him in-game and in the real world?
"Juan, if you don't give any explanation, you'll suffer sooner or later." Santiago was the first to gather his courage as he asked. His gaze was focused on Juan, who had beaten Pedro to a pulp.
"Ugh, so noisy. Slave number 2, avenge yourself and silence this guy." Santiago was still waiting for Juan's response when, suddenly, he heard a voice that caused a chill down his spine. He shifted his gaze at Pedro and sure enough, although this guy had his face all swollen, he could now move and was going in his direction. He didn't know why, but he felt an ominous feeling that something dreadful was ready to happen at any moment.
"Hey! Hey! What are you trying to d... SLAP!" Santiago tried to stop Pedro but, unfortunately, he too received a resounding slap.
Just like Pedro, he felt his right cheek become thick as it was obvious that it had gotten swollen right away.
Slap!
Slap!
Slap!
...
However, Santiago didn't have the chance to complain when Pedro slapped him mercilessly multiple times. It appeared like he really was there for revenge. He didn't stop hitting him until his face became all swollen to the point that his parents wouldn't be able to recognize him anymore.
What the hell?! Santiago could only cry in his heart. Why did this guy still attack him even though he didn't let out a voice at all when he was first slapped? He didn't intend to complain, you know! Because he knew clearly what would happen next if he did so.
But then, he still got slapped so many times that he didn't have the strength to stand up anymore. All he wanted right now was to log out of the game so as not to feel the pain he currently felt.
