Chapter 1411 Stop Bullshitting! **A.N: Reload the last chapter, it's been fixed!** Boom! Bam! "Why are you brats so persistent? Did I kill anyone you're acquainted with?" The man asked after forcing both Reynolds and Alice back but was stopped from escaping by Klaus and Aries. "You're a bad guy, we've made it our business to kill bad guys." Klaus replied. "Which one of you hasn't done anything bad?" The man asked. "Me." Klaus raised his arm. "You've never forcefully taken a treasure from those weaker than you?" The man asked. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚 "The treasure was mine, I was only taking what was mine." Klaus replied matter-of-factly, he smiled innocently and asked, "Is taking what's yours a bad thing now?" The man was stunned when he heard this, even Aries couldn't help but take another look at Klaus, Klaus was shameless to the core. Putting it in that manner meant that he obviously took things from those weaker than he is, but it was only because it was his to begin with. "What… what stupid logic is that?!" The man yelled. Speaking with Klaus was something he shouldn't have been doing. Klaus doesn't seem to have a care in the world about anything, and he's slowly finding out. "What? They were mine. I gave them and they refused to give it back. I have every right to beat them up for holding onto something that isn't theirs." Klaus said calmly. "You're sick in the head." The man gave up on communicating with Klaus and attacked. Klaus laughed proudly and blocked the attack. He wasn't scared of the man, and if the man thought he would back off, then he was joking. Klaus' ice wall cracked after being hit, and fell apart, but he had enough time to dodge the attack thanks to his ice wall slowing it down. "You can't even hit me. Your daughter must be disappointed in you." Klaus mocked after dodging the attack. The man gritted his teeth and tried to escape. The second he faced a particular direction, Alice, Reynolds, and Klaus jumped forward and attacked aggressively. 'I knew it! They don't want me to head in that direction.' The man's heart turned cold, he looked behind him and felt his body shake involuntarily. 'Someone dangerous is coming. They're aware of this. Looks like they were the ones who called the person.' The man felt his heart skip a beat and then without worrying about whether he would sustain any injuries, he charged straight into the trio, taking them head-on. He had already cut off his pain receptors, there was no point in being afraid of the pain he would go through. The expression of the trio changed and they attacked with increased strength. 'What's holding him?!' Klaus looked behind the man. They've been flying towards that direction for some time now and should've already shortened the distance. Although it seems far, for Peak Venerables such as themselves, it's something they could cover within a few minutes. The man saw their eyes and knew he was right. He didn't hold back and attacked with full force. The trio tried their best but were sent flying by the man's attack. Klaus was able to pierce the man's right arm with his needle, but to his shock, the man cut off his own arm to stop the freezing. Reynolds and Alice's attacks were also taken by the man, but he was able to force his way through the trio. Aries was behind, and seeing the man, she unleashed a powerful attack she had been preparing while the trio tried to stop him. Boom! The man blocked the attack and forced her back. Making sure they wouldn't be able to get close to him. The man was powerful, and after throwing caution to the wind, he was even more dangerous. Reynolds and Alice were injured, bleeding from the side of their mouth. Klaus wasn't any better, but they could still fight. Aries had it worse as one of her arms was broken. Unlike the trio who had to cushion the impact of the man's attack together, she was blown away by a full force attack from the man. The man was desperate and didn't try to block much of her attack which meant he had enough time to attack without her being able to block against it. The man left the place, rushing away from the area. "Fuck it! Go after him!" Klaus and the others chased after the man. Aries stood up and followed behind them. With her injury, she knew her strength would decline during the battle, but she didn't want to stand back. This man had killed some of her fellow Faction members, a few of them were people she was acquainted with. Knowing that they died because of this man's selfish interest, she wanted to ensure that he was taken down. Klaus and the others soon caught up with him once again. But this time, the man was able to hastily deal with them. The group's strength was slowly reducing, but so was the man's strength. He wasn't at his peak strength, even though he was still on the verge of breaking through, there was no way he could use his full strength. Part of his right foot was frozen, his right arm was cut off. He had to focus some energy into healing those places, so even when he wants to use his full strength, there's no way he can do it. The group were chasing him as if their lives depended on it which irritated him. He was a figure about to break through to the Sovereign Plane, yet he was being chased by a bunch of Venerables. And these Venerables were kids. Also, there was one who couldn't keep his mouth shut! If the man had the chance, he would kill Klaus. He has already made his decision, as long as he survives this, he will kill Klaus. He might let the others go, but Klaus was a no-no. He will chase him to the end of the world if possible. Klaus said things that shouldn't be said and he wanted to make sure he paid for his foul mouth. Everyone could see the hatred the man has towards Klaus in his eyes. Whenever he looks at Klaus, it is evident that he wants him dead. Klaus could also feel this as well, but he didn't care what the man felt like. All he wanted to do was to stop the man from escaping. They had to kill him. The man was trying to escape, while the group chased after him. The fight went on in this manner. When the group catches up with him, the man would strike. Even though they were being injured, they were still making sure the man was getting slower. "Fuck! Why are you people so adamant?!" The man couldn't believe his eyes. The group was already seriously injured, yet they were still coming back. They didn't even worry about their injuries as they came back. Such valor wasn't something he expected. 'Are they afraid of death?' The man asked himself. The reason he's running so fervently was because he didn't want to die, especially now that he's about to break through. Klaus and the others seem to have thrown their lives away with how they were chasing after him. Boom! Bam! Bang! The fight dragged on and it was starting to show its toll on the body of the group, as well as the man. This time, they paused and exchanged glances. They were all exhausted, and Klaus and his group were bloodied. The man was in no better shape. Parts of his body were frozen and some were missing. The man wasn't able to cause as much as the group caused him due to their numbers advantage. "We'll make sure you regret your decision to mess with us." Klaus said with a raggedy voice. "What do you mean? I was on my own and you people barged into my business!" The man couldn't keep up with Klaus' reasoning. "I don't care, you messed with the wrong set of people. Even if you're strong, we'll pester you." Klaus waved him off and added, "I know you're about to break through, even with all we've done as long as you're given the chance you'll break through. I will never allow that!" "We'll have to see who has more zeal to survive this brutal game." Klaus added. "What do you mean?! You're obviously trying to stall so someone strong will come and end me!" The man was having a mental breakdown. "That doesn't change anything. If we outlive you then you've failed once again as a father." Klaus said, "Also, you can submit your research as a means of making up for the evil you've done so far." "What do you mean?" The man asked. "We might bring back your daughter. I'm friends with some Gnomes, they'll be able to work with it more than you." Klaus said. "You know some Gnomes?" The man asked. "Of course!" Klaus exclaimed. "Stop bullshitting you piece of shit!"
