《Life of a Villain》Chapter 36: Punishment
Advertisement
“Who?”
Andy’s voice echoed throughout the silent hall as he stared at the so-called young master, whose horror-filled eyes were staring at the sliced-up body of his bodyguard lying in a pool of blood while his legs shook uncontrollably.
While a few drops of blood slid down the Young Master’s face, the blood of his dead bodyguard stained his yellow robe.
His body shook as Andy’s voice reached his ears, and he slowly turned around to see a pair of blue eyes staring back at him from behind the black mask. His heartbeat sped up as he realized that he was a helpless prey being stalked at by a ruthless predator.
He gulped his non-existent saliva and opened his mouth slightly to speak to the person in front of him. But before he could reply, a stuttering voice filled the hall once more.
“Wh... What did you do? D.. Do you know who the young master is? His single word c.. could destroy your entire family.”
Andy was stunned for a moment and his gaze shifted to another man in a white robe, whose body shook uncontrollably and a shaky sword was pointed at him.
Andy’s mouth curled into a grin as he looked back at the Young Master, who was rooted to the ground.
“Should I know you?” Andy chuckled while his head titled slightly as he looked straight into the young master’s eyes and he spotted a single drop of sweat slid down the brows of the man in front of him.
As soon as he heard the voice again, the young master’s body shook as he yelled while shaking his head, “NO..you don’t need to know who I am. I... I’m going to leave now.” And he dragged the last remaining bodyguard out of the shop. As he walked, his mind replayed the events that had led to today’s disaster.

He was on his way to the inn after arriving in this city to take part in the realm’s opening when he came across this shop and was smitten by a chained beauty who was entering the shop with many other women but he couldn’t afford to buy her since he was in a hurry, but he sent his bodyguard to book her. He was certain that no one would dare to touch this woman as a member of the Lin Family and an inner disciple of the Eternal Palace. After finishing his cultivation this morning, he hurried to this shop to pick up that woman but was surprised to see another man dragging her outside.
He unconsciously turned to look at the woman, who was scowling at him. A cold glint flashed through his eyes, but he unexpectedly collided with someone.
“AH”
A slow groan escaped his lips as he stumbled, his brow furrowed, but he started shaking when he saw the man in front of him.
Suddenly, a soft voice reached his ears.
“Why shouldn’t you tell me who you are?”
His widened eyes were stared at the man in a black robe who was slowly approaching him. He staggered backward as he stuttered.
“Do not come near me. You don’t know who I am. I am a member of the L... Lin family and an internal disciple of the Eternal Palace. If you touch me, you won’t be able to live any longer. You are free to keep that g.. irl.”
When Andy heard those words, his lips curled into a smirk as he strolled towards the panic-stricken Young Master while his gaze was fixed on two men in front of him.
But then he vanished and reappeared in front of the Young Master, grabbing his neck and lifting him off the ground. The Young Master’s face flushed red as his legs swayed in the air and both of his hands struggled to break free from the grasp.

Andy’s eyes were drawn to the Young Master, who was dangling by the neck and then his gaze shifted to the man in white, who was trembling violently and staring at his Young Master with his bulging eyes.
“You’re his bodyguard, right? What are you doing now? Aren’t you going to save your Young Master?” Andy chuckled and said,
But the bodyguard kept staring at his Young Master as if he didn’t hear what Andy was saying.
Andy was astounded for a moment before shaking his head and returning his gaze to the hanging Young Master, who was struggling hard to free himself.
“Didn’t you say I couldn’t live if I touched you? But, as you can see, nothing bad happened to me. Didn’t you say you’re from the Lin Family and an Internal Disciple of the Eternal Palace? But I have no idea who the fuck Lin Family is, and since you are a disciple of Eternal Palace. Isn’t this my responsibility as the Prime disciple to teach some manners to his Junior Brother?” he smiled as he spoke to the Young Master.
But then, Andy’s smile and the sword in his other hand vanished, and he peered into the Young Master’s eyes as words escaped his lips, “I spared you when you stared at my woman, thinking you wouldn’t actually recognize me. Nonetheless, you dared to stop me. Do you think I would have spared you if you had looked at my woman again with hostility? Don’t you think you’re deserving of some sort of punishment? Always remember not to provoke someone unless you know who you’re provoking. But, sadly, you wouldn’t be able to do so any longer. I will not kill you. You would be a role model for anyone who thought of provoking me.”
As he finished speaking, he drew the Young Master down slightly, and his other hand’s finger touched between the brows of the man struggling in his hand. A white light flashed across his fingertip and entered the head. Suddenly, the Young Master’s struggle came to a halt, his eyes became cloudy, and drool leaked from his mouth.
Andy furrowed his brow as he tossed the Young Master to the remaining Body Guard, then turned around to walk towards Susan, who was looking at him calmly.
The bodyguard crashed to the ground as his Young Master’s body collided with him, and as his panic-stricken eyes stared at the Young Master, who was lying on the ground like a fool, suddenly a mellow voice reached his ears.
“Take this fool back. And if your Lin Family wants to be annihilated overnight. Tell them to come to me.”
The bodyguard’s body shook as he turned to face the back of the Man, who was leaving the shop with the woman.
And as soon as Andy left the shop, murmurs broke the silence as everyone stared at two men lying on the ground.
Meanwhile, Andy stepped out of the carriage in front of his courtyard after a while, his gaze pulled to three men and a young, beautiful woman standing at a distance.
He was taken aback for a moment before a smirk formed on his face, and he muttered,
“I think I found a maid,”

Into the Feywild
I've never considered myself to be much of a fighter. In fact, I had no notion what it was all about. I couldn't envision a war amongst people, especially my own. In this odd realm, a timid half-elf has little chance of success. Especially with minimal experience. I've only fought as a means of survival, self-defense, if you will. I had known only humans, so the concept of elven culture and family was foreign to me. And yet, here I am, in the midst of a tremendous battle between two Feys and a God. I never planned for things to turn out this way, or for me to get caught in the great shambles of war—a conflict between good and evil. My two companions are practically strangers to me, knowing nothing but my name. This journey was not something I had planned or wished for, but it was what the Gods gave me.◈ ◈ ◈Meli, a young half-elf traveling the Material Plane, is unexpectedly captured while on her travels, only to become a member of an odd group of individuals. Crane, an older wizard castaway from his college for practicing unnatural magic, and Kurky, a youthful and lively gnome who is as fascinating as they come. Meli's curiosity gets the better of her as she chooses to accompany them on their not so concrete journey into the Feywild. Little did they know of the constant war raging within this woodsy plane. Maybe Meli will discover everything she's been looking for, embracing love and pleasure along the way. Or perhaps she'll become a part of something bigger. © Copyright to EmmeMeadows 2021
