Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

Those words were like an alarm in Chiron's head. Chief Dona had just told him to sell the sword.

Although Chiron had to say that he expected a request concerning the sword. He definitely did not expect Chief Dona to request him to sell it.

Although those words came out politely, there were just too many things wrong with them. One of them included the fact that up until the moment Chief Dona requested to buy the sword, he had been referring to Chiron as Tamashi.

Secondly, although it sounded like a request, it was actually an order.

The only reason Chief Dona had framed his words in such a manner was that they were in the midst of people, and also because of his reputation. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

This was something even the children subconsciously knew. However, who in their right mind had the guts to question the fancy of the chief?

Lastly, even if Chief Dona wanted the sword. The right thing would be to ask Aleen and not Chiron, since Aleen was an Elder. But he did not. This showed that Dona did not put Chiron's father in his eyes.

The place had gotten silent again. Chief Dona still had his eyes on Chiron. The look in his eyes spoke volumes of the confidence he had that Chiron was going to nod in agreement.

After all, such a thing had never happened.

In fact, it is expected that Chiron even refuses the money from the Chief and out rightly give up the sword as a gift.

At least, this was how it played out in people's heads.

Chiron remained silent. Chief Dona frowned a bit and then he smiled, "How about this. I'll buy your sword for thirty blue beast cores."

"Wow!" the crowd gasped. this was an astonishing amount of money. With that kind of money, even as Tamashi, Chiron could still live an excellent life. He could get all he wanted: Food, Wine, women, and basically anything that was attracted to the smell of money and comfort.

,m In fact, that money could potentially make a cultivator develop the temptation to retire early.

But more than anything, it showed the value that the chief had for the sword. Or rather, it showed how valuable the sword was.

The students in the class all turned to Chiron. From the pleading looks on their faces, it was obvious that they wanted him to take the offer.

It was just too good to resist.

Before this, Nora had the most expensive sword, and that one was made with a combined wealth of several elders of the clan. So it was easy to imagine why everybody expected Chiron to take the deal.

However, this request as far as Chiron was concerned was an insult to him. Yes! it was a very big insult.

This was like telling a mother that had gone through the pain of carrying her child for a full nine months and then giving birth to the child that she should forget about all that pain and love and sell the child for thirty pieces of biscuit.

This was how it sounded in Chiron's ears. This man wanted him to sell his sword for biscuits.

How could the life of a child be compared to biscuits!?

Even if Chief Dona had said that he wanted to buy the sword for a hundred blue beast cores, it would not even make Chiron's eyelids twitch in anticipation.

Chief Dona saw that his offer did not move Chiron and so he increased his offer. "How about fifty blue core stones."

Once again, the crowd gasped. This included the Elder Joules and even the other Elders. This was an astonishing amount of money. In fact, Elder Joules even doubted if Chief Dona had such an amount of money.

But then again, even she could not tell the full capabilities of the Chief. After all, the wealth of the entire clan was at his disposal.

However, to the surprise of all, Chiron still remained silent.

If anyone was observing well, they could have noticed that Chiron had a hand folded in a tight fist behind his back. It was so tight that his veins bulged and his fingers pierced into his flesh.

He was really holding down on his anger.

Chiron suddenly had a humble look on his face as he bowed apologetically, "Uncle Dona, You'll have to forgive your nephew. Your offer is indeed very generous, but you see, even if I gave you the sword, It would be of no use in your hands. The sword is tied to my blood. However, I really don't mind you testing this out."

Chiron had been very picky with his words. Even going as far as to call the Chief with the Title of Uncle and to call himself Nephew.

Chiron was playing on the emotions of the people watching. After all, it was easy for many people to forget that Chief Dona was his father's brother. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

This way, Chief Dona would not be inclined to push on his demands because it was not morally right.

This reminded Chiron of a saying from his former life, "Human beings are moral creatures. They want to be considered by the public that they were always right." This was a stigma that even corrupt politicians had.

"Hmmm!" Chief Dona nodded, but he was not still convinced. He walked to the boulder and charged up a bit of his spirit energy. As he did, everybody, including Chiron suddenly felt as if the air had become too heavy to breathe.

Their lungs felt tighter and the air seemed to freeze all around them. Chiron felt as if he had suddenly been immersed in water. It was just a little, but Chief Dona was still a copper-level cultivator. His spirit energy was rich.

He passed his energy into the sword and stroked the boulder.

It was not a heavy hit, but then again, Chief Dona could have hit this boulder without spirit energy and it would still break.

He only wanted to test Chiron's words.

*Bam!!!*

A loud sound was heard.

However, the results left the crowd...
