"Are you from the land of cultivators?" The look on the boy's face was full of excitement and anticipation.

Felix was standing right in front of the carriage with a wide smile on his face. He got really excited when he saw the carriage coming because it was the same carriage which comes every month.

'I just hope they take me along when they leave. Ohh, someone is coming....'

When the driver of the carriage saw the mocking smile of Felix, he got furious.

"This brat thinks he can prank us and get away with it! Just you wait....."

With large steps, the driver approached Felix and gave him a tight slap across his face. After slapping Felix, the drive held his chin and raised his tilted head and started to scold him.

"You dirty beggar, you sure got balls, eh? you even dared to prank us...If you wanted to die, why not jump from the canyon over there? Are you deaf? Say something you stupid rascal...Don't you have anything to say? Or you deaf and mute at the same time?...."

He kept scolding and slapping Felix while squeezing his chin. Felix who was once filled with excitement and happiness was now confused. The face which was bright a few moments ago was not replaced with a gloomy face. From the look of things, Felix

While the process of scolding and slapping was going on, Felix was totally confused and due to which he wasn't able to speak.

'Why are you beating me, uncle?'

'Did I do something wrong?'

'Can you stop beating me?'

.

.

'Can I kill you, Uncle? we will make sure you suffer'

These were few of the thoughts which were going on, inside Felix's mind. Regarding the last thought, it was originated from the depth of Felix's soul. It was random but someone was calling him from Inside. Only one word was echoing in Felix's head...

KILL...KILL...KILL...KILL...KILL...KILL...KILL...KILL...KILL...KILL...KILL...

Slowly, the urge to kill was raging inside Felix's head but suddenly, everything went numb. When everything turned back to normal inside Felix's head, he bit the driver's hand and ran away towards his house while crying.

"You dirty beggar, how dare you to bite me. Just you wa...."

The driver was about to start chasing Felix but someone called him. Three Individuals were standing beside the carriage. All three of them were alpha males with handsome feature.

The man in the middle was wearing a white Hanfu with black colored cuff and the remaining two were also wearing Hanfu but the color was grey and the color of the cuff was black-colored. Each one of them had a symbol on their garment front which said 'Imperial'

The man in the middle was the one who called the driver.

"Shen, How long are you planning to stay here and waste our limited time? And why were you shouting?" The way these words were spoken was nothing special and the speaker also had a calm expression but the air around him was radiating anger.

The moment he heard the call, he Immediately stopped his ongoing action and turn back to report.

" Reporting to Elder, There was this boy who suddenly came Infront of our carriage. He was trying to toy with us so I taught him a lesson." Shen replied quickly.

"Ohh, Can you describe his appearance?"

"Yes, I can do that. He has an oval shaped face with long black hair. The color of his eye was crimson red. From his appearance, he should be 10 or 11 years old as his height was around 120 cm."

"I see, Which direction did that boy run off to? "

"He wen...."

"Let me guess, towards that canyon. Am I right?" Shen was about to answer but he was Interrupted by the Elder.

"What you said is correct eld....ahh"

Before Shen completed his sentence, his neck was gripped by a strong force. Shen's neck was being held by the Elder's hand.

The Elder pulled Shen closer to his face and said,

"Do you who you have just offended by harming that boy?"

"I don't...understan..elder..please release..yo....grip" Shen squeezed few words from his vocal chord.

"Shen, You served me for 16 years but I never expected you to be so foolish. Karsen Oliver?"

"Report Elder, What is your order?"

"Report Elder, What is your order?"

Two Individuals who were standing behind the Elder came forward and kneel beside and request for their order.

"Take Shen back to the academy and send him to the torture room and order the torturer to torture him to death. Make sure to capture his dying soul and store it. Now leave" The Elder gave his order as he threw Shen towards Karen and Oliver.

"As you wish, Elder"

"As you wish, Elder"

Both replied in unison and restrained Shen.

"No elder please.....don't do this to me. I server you for my entire life.... how can you do this to me. At least tell me whom did I offend to deserve such cruel punishment" Shen wailed as he was being dragged by Karsen.

"I take this as your final wish. Do You know about the most feared existence in the entire kingdom?"

"Yes but....."

"That boy is Grandson of that existence...Now, take him away."

'I fucked up big time, didn't I...'

After that, Karsen and Oliver dragged Shen away and vanished into thin air.

'I just hope the teacher doesn't give me too harsh of a punishment...Today must be the worst day of my life.....' The elder murmured as he walked toward the canyon...
