The bandit leader was visibly livid at the deaths of his men as his eyebrows are tight and his body trembles from his muscles crontracting under his skin while a vicious bloody aura radiates from him causing goosebumps to form on nicks arms.

"Boy you and your friend are quite ruthless , my crew only wanted your money yet you've killed most of us forcing me to have to act." The bandit leader says while glaring at nick.

Nick looks at the bandit leader oddly.

"So you thought that jumping out of the trees with weapons drawn at two people walking along this road was going to yield any result beside blatant hostility?" Nick said sarcastically.

The bandit leaders expression changes from anger to confusion back to anger before finally settling on understanding.

"How ironic that the actual truth of this situation was actually a misunderstanding caused by our faulty actions." The bandit leader sighs before he waves his hand at the men fighting jakob who stop immediately.the leader looks back towards nick "since this whole issue was caused by us we won't continue fighting over ours mistake however, we need something to make up for the deaths of our men I won't be greedy because that's not why we became bandits just give us something for their families." He says while sighing.

Nick nods his head and throws 200 gold for each of the dead men to the leader who nods before signaling the bandits to leave. And after collecting the corpses vanish just as fast as they arrived. Jakob takes a healing pill from his ring before swallowing it like candy. The scratchs on his body are the first thing that close up and disappear before the flesh of the wound on his shoulder wiggles and begins fusing back together until the wound is gone .

"Change your shirt since its basically destroyed." Nick said to Jakob who nodded.

After jakob changed his shirt the duo continue on their way towards the city and after about 3 hours were stopped once again by bandits who were easier to tell were far more professional then the group earlier. The group considered of nothing but men much like the last group however the difference was that they were blocking the road rather than waiting in ambush .

Nick scanned the group before figuring out who the leader is, a monster of a man who was easily right feet tall and looked to practically be made from muscle with short hair and thick scars across his face giving him a savage vibe. Before anyone says a word nick throws two hundred gold at him before continueing ti walk past the group with Jakob in tow.

"Boss he obviously has more money on him why did you let him go?" One of the bandits asked the huge man. The man looks at the receding backs of nick and Jakob before he answers "that man didn't give us this money out of fear but impatience if we would have pushed the issue he may have slaughtered us without a second thought."

Nick and Jakob didn't run into any more bandits for the rest of the day that night however they were surrounded by a small group of bandits that was different from every other group so far , it was comprised entirely of 4 female cultivators of the origin core realm.

One of the women steps forward obviously upset at how they are being treated so casually. "Why is going to happen is you are going to hand over your space rings and strip for our entertainment then we will turn you to a tree and leave you for the next people who pass by." The voice sounded like a young girl maybe 14 ,but the words caused nick to release murderous intent with his already overpowering bloodline aura boosting it till it practically filled the air stifling it and pressuring everyone in a full 1 kilometer around him before all of it focused onto the 4 around him.
