《From Chief to the Emperor (Rewrite)》Chapter 6: Are you even a man?
Advertisement
The situation was extremely critical.
Two of the men that came along Titan rushed forward and got ahold of Night’s arms each.
Night glared at them as she screamed and struggled but to no avail.
The next step would be that Titan would rape Night on the spot. In prehistoric times, rape was the most basic strategy to ensure reproduction. Edward remembered such a sentence he once read in a book.
While unable to do anything, Edward felt extremely anxious. Before he came to this era, his wife was taken by that fat Billy. Now that he has come to the prehistoric era, the girl he likes was going to be taken away. It was hard not to consider that he was somehow cursed.
‘What dog shit luck I have!? Is it my fated to be always cucked?’
In a hurry, he yelled and shouted.
“Titan, you stupid fuck! What kind of a man you are to force yourself upon a weak, defenseless woman? Are you big and strong? More like you got a tiny wiener!”
“WHAT?”
Titan was focused on Night since she was captured. He was so happy that he didn’t pay much attention to Edward’s shouting. Although he also couldn’t really understand a lot of the words, Edward was speaking, but from his tone, he realized it wasn’t something good.
Titan ground his teeth in a seething rage. He was utterly consumed in rage and anger, being the alpha male he was insulted. In blind fury, Titan rushed towards Edward.
Night next to him was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Light, hurry to kneel on the ground, beg for forgiveness!"
But it was too late.
Titan's hammer-like big fist slammed into the face of Edward!
Suddenly, Edward felt his eyes staring at stars in daylight. His head was hit continuously; even his brain was shaking. He could taste iron in his mouth while his stomach was smashed with a big stick causing even more severe pain and the feeling that his whole intestines would tear. He could feel his stomach twisting inside, accompanied by a strong sense of nausea. He could feel the rabbit he had eaten about to be vomited out.
With a bang, he was thrown a few feet off the ground.
Then, Titan waved his hand, and three of his men rubbed their hands in anticipation as the encircled Edward.
Edward felt dizzy, but he could predict the seriousness and the eventual consequences of what this all meant. If he didn’t survive this, he might just lose his life today.
At this moment, Night stopped screaming, and she shouted:
"Titan! Are you really the alpha male? Are you really a leader or just a little rodent who uses numbers to fight against one weak man?”
Stunned, Titan commanded his men to stop. He pointed towards Edward. He was kneeling on the ground by this point, trying to prop his body with his arms.

“Just look at this little monkey! Pathetic and weak, Surrender, and I will spare your life today! I don’t have time for you. I need to have my fun with Night.”
Edward suddenly vomited, vomiting out the food he had previously eaten. It wasn’t sure if he vomited because of the beating he took or because the idea of rape repulsed him to that extent.
His consciousness returned, he turned sober. He could hear the vanity from each word Titan spoke, but that gave him a glimmer of hope.
Initially, he had already lost his life. He had already died when he fell down that cliff fighting Billy. He would die again in this jungle if he ventured alone. He needed Night.
He had nothing to lose, so he decided to be brave and bold.
Suffering from the immense pain and struggling even to speak:
"Tit...Tan, I have heard about you. People say you are a hunting expert…..not even afraid of a saber-toothed tiger, right?”
"Ha ha ha ha!" Titan laughed proudly.
No one had ever complimented him before like this, how can he a savage in prehistoric times, compare with a modern person in complimenting?
"However, I don’t think you can hunt animals. You can only bully the weak. You are no hunting expert; these are all lies!”
Without waiting for Titan to reply, Edward continued:
“What leader can you even call yourself? You are no alpha male! You are just a weakling who fights the weak. A true alpha male like a saber-toothed tiger has his pride, has his strength, and as that power. You can only steal women and rape them, but a true leader must know how to hunt. Can you even hunt more meat than me? I can be a better leader than you. Can you even prove yourself to your men that you are the alpha? And you call yourself a man!”
The subtext of this was that what you are doing is nothing but the same as when wild beast fuck each other, and he was no man but a dumb beast. It wasn’t just that, but Edward knew that for men like him, it was best to challenge him as a man and as an alpha. He couldn’t use logic and reasoning with him, so he could only challenge his position as a leader. He knew men like him would have their pride. The worth of a prehistoric man was defined by his strength and his ability to hunt.
Edward couldn’t invoke his morality or challenge him to a match, but he knew Titan would have to protect his position as a leader. Even the Titan’s men looked towards him, unsure of how he would react.
The air solidified as the muscles on the face of Titan shifted, from horror to anger. The big stick in his hand was shaking, and his eyes were about to explode!

"Titan! I really look down on you!" Night’s voice was cold as she provoked him even more. It seemed Night understood what Edward wanted to do.
‘Holy shit… that is some cold tone Night. Its sending shivers down my spine. I never knew you could even speak like that.’
At this moment, Edward hardened his scalp and said:
"Titan, you are so brave and strong, right? Are you better than me? Can you even beat me?” He started at Titan’s eyes directly.
Titan’s nostrils flared out,
“I just beat you to a pulp monkey. You have tiny arms. How are you even better than me!?”
‘Hook, line, and sink. You’re a total sucker!’
Edward thought in his heart that as long as he passed today and let himself get a breathing room, he could definitely plan ahead and ensure his survival.
‘There will be a day you’ll be kneeling on the ground for mercy, Titan!’
Edward carefully hid his emerging smirk as he continued:
“Can you even catch more prey than me? Look how weak and small I am. Look at my thin arms. You call yourself a leader, can you even beat me in hunting Titan?”
When he finished, he turned and winked at Night, who had no idea what that meant. Although she couldn’t understand what Edward was doing, she realized that he had something up his sleeve.
Edward knew that he had to distract Titan from Night. He diverted the topic away from Night, and towards challenging his manliness cause the moment Titan focused on Night, something that was in his hands, he would have his way with her.
In this era, humanity was as simple as clear water, and Edward’s tricks blinded everyone.
“OF COURSE I CAN HUNT MORE THAN YOU PUNY MONKEY!”
Thoroughly enraged, Titan moved towards Edward, trying to beat him again.
“You want to beat me? Is that what a man does when his position is challenged? Five days Titan…. 5 days. Let's see if you can even hunt more than me and are really worthy of being a leader.”
In prehistoric times, a challenge to someone’s leadership was something serious.
“Sure…sure monkey. After five days, I will find you, and if I win, I’ll kill you slowly and skin you alive! I will enjoy your screams.”
For Titan, this was something serious, especially in front of his men. He didn’t put the monkey-like person in his eyes. Hunting? He was the best hunter in all the surrounding tribes.
Edward finally breathed a sigh of relief!
‘I, a 21st-century engineer trained in the modern scientific knowledge of human beings, can make a savage like you who eats nothing but dirt, know what real meat is like!’
"Good! Five days is the limit!" Edward was so happy he could die, not literally because he had just escaped death and didn’t want to die after all the trouble.
Five days! He had to hunt for five days! This time was too abundant for him.
Titan took his man away after the agreement was done. For him, he could get Night whenever he wanted, but a challenge to his position was direr.
Night couldn’t believe it, with a few words of his, he actually made the tyrannical Titan go back, she admired Edward even more now.
"Hey," all the pain came together at the moment, and Edward, who just wanted to stand up, fell to the ground.
"Light, what's wrong with you?" Night hurriedly asked.
"My stomach hurts so badly; my head is also dizzy, it feels painful enough to die..."
"Oh, your eyes are swollen too, they look scary" Night sat on the leaves next to him, gently stroking his swollen left eye.
Seeing that the forest was getting dim, Night seemed a little uneasy.
It was not a good thing to stay in the forest at dark where no one had any idea what might appear to instead hunt humans.
Edward breathed a sigh of relief. "Night, don't worry, you support me, let's go!"
But after a few trials, there was no success.
"Light, climb on my back!" Night bent down, and the leopard skin skirt showed her well-rounded hips, causing his heart to go beating like crazy.
‘This… is maddening. Only a small piece of rabbit skin covers my waist, and now I am being asked to hold and almost naked girl? My little brother will kill me from blue balling instead of the pain left behind Titan at this rate.’
"This way...." Edward looked around. "Night, see the tree in front of you? Can you get that for me?”
Night went under the tree, pulling the end of a branch, and slamming the tree and pulling it down.
Edward sat on the ground and directed Night. He made simple crutches without much effort. He gave one of the crutches to Night, who curiously looked at them as some kind of a mystery.
He stood up while holding Night’s shoulders, placed the simple branch crutch under his armpit, and took a few steps along.
"Night, lead the way ahead!" he said with a smile.
"It’s tough to beat you down!" Night laughed as she helped Edward move along.
