Chapter 14: Shane Sykes
An old man with a hunched back stepped out of the shadows after Hawke had gone far and quickly stuffed Shane into a black bag.
"Isn't it just a new pet dog, what's the big deal? The old man babbled to himself.
"It's a pity, this good young man, what a brave young man, I was stunned when I saw that strong man!"
He kept talking, and his hands were not idle, he quickly tied the rope on the bag, resisted it to his shoulder, and walked forward.
"Oh, good boy, it's not light!"
He patted the sack.
......
On the other side, Hawke threw the whip into the yard and walked into the front yard of Goering's house, where he did not dare to enter.
In front of a window, he put on a flattering smile and knocked lightly.
"Crunch!"
It wasn't long before the window was pushed open by a pair of jeweled arms.
"It doesn't seem to have worked out?"
Aisha asked coldly.
Her hair was coiled high, her slender neck was covered with jeweled necklaces, her high nose bridge contrasted with deep eye sockets, and her cold blue eyes always gave people a rebellious and depressed beauty.
Hawke was very greedy when he saw the jewel on her neck, but he didn't dare to look at it more, and he quickly lowered his head when he saw Aisha pushing open the window.
Aisha is the eldest daughter of the Goering family, who has only returned from studying in Thunder Light City in the last month, and has had an excellent talent for magic since she was a child, and is now an excellent archmage.
Hawke knew that Aisha was glamorous and gentle on the surface, and after coming into contact with her, she asked Hawke to do the things she did, only to know that she was an extremely cruel and sick woman, I don't know what she had experienced, she was still a kind little girl before she went to Thunder Light City.
Hawke felt that if he looked any more, his eyes would be gone.
"Yes...... Lady Elsa. ”
Hawke buried his head deeply and whispered.
His attitude towards Aisha was the same as Shane's attitude when he spoke to him, extremely humble.
"He really doesn't seem to be afraid of this toxin, the child I found is already doing very well, I saw the needle stuck in his ankle, even if he left without pulling out the poisonous needle, he was like no one. ”
Hawke hurriedly explained.
"It shouldn't be, I know how toxic it is, even an elite swordsman won't react at all. ”
Aisha frowned, as if talking to herself.
It seemed that the swordsman had noticed it when the boy approached him, but he still let the little boy get closer, and after the boy had succeeded, the swordsman did not react at all, yes, he did not react at all, neither dizzy nor weak, I could see it clearly, and he gave the little boy a purple pendant. “
Hawke said.
"Where's the pendant?"
"It's strange here, I kept staring at the boy, he just hung the pendant around his neck, he just touched it along the way, he really didn't take the pendant off, but when I searched the boy's body, the boy didn't have a pendant, which is really strange, I think he may have cursed the boy, the pendant is just a token. ”
After listening to this, Aisha touched her chin and thought about something, but did not speak, and Hawke did not dare to continue when he saw that Aisha did not speak.
After a long time, Aisha finally asked.
"Where's the boy?"
"Already disposed of"
"Guaranteed no problems?"
Aisha asked, frowning.
"No problems guaranteed. ”
Hawke thought back to what had just happened, he was pretty sure that Shane was dead, and his breath was gone, and even if Phil could ignore the toxin, he didn't believe that the slum boy he stared at every day could ignore it, and he replied in the affirmative.
Aisha nodded and said.
"Okay, then that's it, you give me the rest of the poisonous needles, this swordsman is not easy to mess with, don't provoke him again, I will go and meet him." ”
Hawke let out a sigh of relief, and respectfully placed the remaining poison needle on the windowsill and saluted Elsa.
"Crunch!"
The window closed on its own, and Elsa's face disappeared behind the window.
Hawke breathed a sigh of relief, he always had an invisible pressure in the face of Elsa, Elsa was like a poisonous snake, full of poison, maybe it would come up and bite you at any time, Hawke knew it deeply. In less than ten days after Aisha returned, he had already helped Aisha dispose of six people, including men, women, and old people, as well as the little boy who had just been killed, and they were all asked by Aisha to be poisoned, and of course Hawke was willing to do so, at least without looking at the bloody corpses.
However, there are many benefits to doing things for Elsha, now that he is making rapid progress, Aisha will give him some "quick crystals", in just ten days, he has advanced from a warlock apprentice to a warlock, a full two realms, and also learned some magic, he has completely become Elsha's lackey.
Hawke was not in a good mood, he knew that if he couldn't do something, there would be no reward at all, and there would be some extremely cruel punishments for Elsa to lose, this was the first time Aisha asked him to tell him a warning.
Fortunately, this was the first time he hadn't done it, so he could only blame that swordsman for being too weird.
If it were his own, he would never dare to provoke him, he felt that the swordsman had set his sights on the Goering family. Hawke had an inexplicable premonition that the swordsman was a newly recruited reinforcement from the Jimenez family, and his origin was unknown and very mysterious, and he didn't even know his name.
Sooner or later, the first assassination attempt failed, and maybe it would startle the snake, Hawke thought.
After a while, he smiled and patted his head, he was just a little minion, why did he think so much.
He staggered into the backyard of Goering's house and picked up the whip he had just dropped. This is his world, he is the supervisor of the backyard, and here he is in charge of some handyman child laborers, all of them slum children, very well managed, and he can whip them to satisfy their perverted desires when they have nothing to do.
There was a nasty imp in front of me, and if I remember correctly, it was the brother of the imp who had just died.
"Looks like you're getting whipped, little ghost. ”
Hawke smiled "gently", and the folds on his face were all piled together, as terrifying as a ghost who came in search of his life in the middle of the night.
Buck stared at Hawke, who had already raised his whip in front of him, clenched his small fists, and slowly knelt on the ground.
"Master Hawke, where's my brother?"
Buck approached and asked pleadingly, he had seen Hawke come back from a distance, but there was no sign of his brother, and the ominous premonition in his heart was getting stronger, and now his eyes were full of tears, and there was no other way but to ask this damn Hawke.
"Smack!"
The whip slammed into Buck's face with a cracking sound, making a dull sound.
Buck screamed and rolled around on the ground with his face covered, the whip directly whipped his face open, the pain hit Buck's soul, the half of his face hurt like fire, and blood oozed from his fingers.
Listening to Buck's screams, Hawke's dull mood was swept away, this little ghost actually dared to question me!
"Don't you work!
Hawke whipped whip after whip, and roared through gritted teeth. The next whip was not as severe as the first whip, and it was always bad to kill, and Hawke relented a little, but it was not something that a child could bear.
Buck's clothes had been shredded, and his body was covered in bleeding whip marks.
He was whipped and rolled around on the ground, screaming loudly and begging Hawke for mercy.
Hawke gasped, the whipping was over, and if he continued to beat the child, he would be killed by himself, sparing his life.
Hawk was in a much better mood after the fight, put the whip away, he lifted the belt of his trousers, looked down at the half-dead and blood-stained Buck, and said with a smile.
"Next time, pay attention, do your best, ah. ”
With that, he ignored Buck and whistled to his little brick room.
Buck on the ground felt that his brother was dead, and such a brutal Hawke, he didn't believe that his brother would come back in its entirety.
Buck lay on the ground, gasping for breath, half of his face unconscious, tears mixed with blood. The pain in Buck's heart was worse than the pain in his body, and no matter how painful the whiplash on his body was, he couldn't stop the grief of losing his brother, he wouldn't show his love, even though he was still young, he loved his brother so much. Mother doesn't love them, he doesn't know who his father is, he and his brother are just a burden to his mother, an accident, only his brother depends on him, and now that his brother is gone, Buck feels that he can't hold on anymore.
He didn't want to live in this world anymore, but a strong hatred supported him to get up from the ground and limp into the small brick house where he worked, a warm current in his belly that seemed to heal his wounds.
Buck looked at Potter, who only had one ear and was still pretending to be deaf and dumb, and the less the flames of revenge in his heart, the higher the higher, he wanted revenge!
Take revenge on the entire House of Goering, no matter how long.
......
The old man carried the bag into a sparse grove, the ground was full of weeds and potholes, and there were many raised mounds of earth as far as the eye could see.
"Oh!
He put the bag on the ground next to him, and a shovel appeared in his hand, and his mouth kept talking.
"I really don't know why I have to dig a pit and bury it, how good it would be to burn it directly, it's really exhausting for an old man of my age. ”
The old man was so focused on digging his own pit that he didn't notice that the bag next to him was always emitting a glowing glow.
He dug the pit very quickly, and in a short time, a pit half a meter deep, large enough to fit a sack in, appeared.
The old man looked at the pit and nodded with satisfaction.
"It's going to be done!"
He put the shovel away, and turned his head to see that the bag containing Shane's body was already purple.
The old man shuddered and took a step back, he didn't know what was happening, only that something seemed to be wrong now.
"Burn you!"
The old man shouted.
He raised his hand and threw a fireball at the bag.
The bag was smashed by the fireball spell and easily ignited, revealing Shane, who had opened his eyes inside.
Shane seemed to be awakened by this fireball technique, and in a flash of his form, he emerged from the burning bag and stood opposite the old man. His pupils turned bright red, and the purple pendant on his chest glowed faintly.
Shane seemed to have a flash of fire in his eyes, and with a slight flash, the old man didn't make a sound, his body was directly dismembered, and pieces of corpses fell to the ground.
"Activation Ritual Completed"
Shane muttered to himself.
"What's your name?"
"Shane Sykes. ”
