/ Heavenly Dao Child 196 Passing out a judgemen
Ryuu gave a smile when he spoke, "Since the start of this mess, my family cares for me deeply as such they always kept an eye on me in order to protect me, even as we speak now there are guards hidden who are secretly keeping an eye on my well being."
Upon hearing that everyone tensed an unknown number of experts are keeping an eye on Ryuu whom they could not detect at all made them a bit scared.
Alhma: "Since they are protecting you then why did you have to defend yourself like that, they could have thwarted the ploy before it even begun."
Ryuu: "Debar me from learning from such an experience, no I do not think so they would do no such thing, and the only time they would make a move is when the situation is out of control and my life is in extreme danger or something horribly bad is going to happen to me."
Aliyah: "Can we meet with them."
Ryuu snorted as he spoke, "I myself have yet to meet them personally, they only listen to my uncle and no matter how much I through tantrum or anything they will never appear, the only reason I am even aware they are following me is because my older sister might have let it slip.", he mixed truth and lies as he spoke, he does not know much about their chain of command and with whom their loyalty lied as he knows that Shamiran is their Supreme Commander but there is a high chance that even his teachers may command them as well, and as for claiming about his 'uncle' well his teachers did claim his mother as their sister.
Agrippa frowned even harder as he spoke, "Since your family knew about this mess then her Highness must know about everything."
Ryuu nodded at that as he replied to him, "Of course she knows but there is no need for you to think about the matter too much because as far as I know about her she is not known for dilly-dallying, if she was displeased by someone she would have retaliated already."
Lucius spoke with a frown, "As much as I agree with you about your right to punish the transgressor but as he is still part of the expedition if you retaliate we are honor bound to intervene."
Ryuu send a smirk at Lucius, "Senior, if he leaves the expedition then…"
Lucius send a smile as he replied, "As long as he is outside of Shangri-la Pavilion and not the member of the expedition you are free to do however you wish too."
As they made their way towards room they were greeted by Frozen Flames and her group.
Frozen Sky: "Where have you all been to? We were so worried."
Aliyah: "Daoist brother Ryuu received an anonymous letter as such we all went to check with the help of staff of Shangri-la Pavilion to see if it was rigged as an attempt to assassinate him out it turned out to be a letter from his older sister, explaining to him that the situation was dealt with."
Frozen Flames looked curiously at Ryuu as she spoke, "Dealt with does that mean, the people trying to assassinate are dead."
Ryuu: "Yes Senior they are dead but the person who wanted me dead is still alive from what I learned jealousy was the motive behind the entire fiasco, big sister has allowed me to pass of the judgment on him."
Lu Wu looked visibly displeased with all the talk about death and what not but before she could speak she was interrupted by Froze Sky, "Who is this fellow you are talking about?"
Ryuu shrugged as he spoke, "No clue except that he will make a run for it today even leaving the expedition."
Frozen Flames could not help but as curiously, "How do you even know that? When you yourself have confessed to that you have no idea regarding the person's identity."
Ryuu sighed as he spoke, "My family gets a tad bit over protective when it comes to me, as such when my sisters learned about the assassination attempt on me they hunted the group otherwise known as the 'Crooked Tavern', slaughtered every member of theirs and then decorated the bedroom of the parents of the person who had issue a bounty on my head with their dead bodies."
The teachers' eyes widen at that for a fraction but the most distraught was Lu Wu who looked visibly sickened by it as appeared from her pale visage."
A commotion drew their attention as they saw a group of armed guard trying to enter forcibly as the guards prevented them entering.
"You Shall Not Pass!", came a shout from one of the guards stationed outside of Shangri-la Pavilion as the newcomers shouted out in equal amount of fervor, "We Shall Pass! And you will not prevent us from rescuing our 'Young Master."
"What is going on here?", a loud shout came from one of the staff members who flared her cultivation realm in order to scare the people creating commotion who had calmed down upon having the person's aura slamming on them with full force.
The woman gave an irritated look as she spoke, "Well speak I am waiting and I do not have the entire day so speak what do you want?"
A guard cupped his hand as he spoke reverently, "Honorable beautiful gracious saintly merciful Immortal Fairy, we simply wish to escort our young master from the danger he is to the protection of his home."
The woman spoke with a snarl, "Oh and who is this young master of yours is."
The man bowed as he replied, "My young master's name is Gaius Memmius Frontalis."
The woman sighed as she send someone to fetch Gaius, as Frozen Sky growled, "So that mongrel who was eyeing each of you with hatred from the previous day, what kind of parent raises such a despicable child?"
Frozen Flames snorted a she replied with disgust evident in her voice, "What do you expect sister a rat will raise a rat not a dragon."
Soon an irritated Gaius came into view he walked as if he owned the place itself and spoke in an arrogant tone as he looked at the guards with eyes filled with disdain, "What do you want slave speak I am extremely busy."
By then most of the staff of Shangri-la Pavilion had gathered here had already guessed him as the culprit behind hiring the assassins, and his way of speaking and his manners had left a lot to be desired in the eyes of the staff but now it reached all time low as treating someone who would be protecting him with their life if need to be in such a manner made his image to plummet further as they already marked him to be expelled from the expedition within the next few days.
The guard bowed deeply in front of Gaius as he explained everything in vivid description the entire situation causing him to become visibly pale before he kicked the guard hard on his head as he shouted out, "You FOOL! What are you waiting for take me back home immediately and if …."
Before he could speak a loud cough interrupted him he turned his head glaring and openly tried to rebuke the person for his insolence trying to prevent him from speaking only to come face to face with a frowning Agrippa, "Child if you leave now you will be expelled from the expedition as we will not allow you to participate in this expedition anymore."
Gaius nostrils flared as he shouted out in anger almost spitting on Agrippa face as he spoke, "Screw you and your stupid expedition I am more important than this silly expedition, Guards let us leave! And Protect me with your lives you good for nothing waste of space,"
As they left Agrippa turned towards Ryuu his face red with anger from being spoken to in such rude manner, he took a couple of breaths to calm his anger as he spoke loudly, "Gaius Memmius Frontalis is no longer allowed to participate as a member in the expedition as such I Agrippa Loreius Avienus, hereby revoke any and all privilege granted to him.", he gave a small nod at an already smiling Ryuu who simply gave a small but grateful nod towards him.
Ryuu took out the letter as it caught fire as he spoke loudly, "The one who tried to assassinate me may he suffer for an entire year from injuries severe enough to make him feed through straw during the entire time and live a life as a non cultivator during thrice the said period of time."
As the letter turned into ash there were a few loud shouts and a huge bang sounded from outside followed by another loud shout, "NO!!!! Not another of my stores."
Ryuu smirked as he spoke lowly, "Oops!"
A few people from Shangri-la raced outside to see the guards lying out cold unconscious as a couple of stores were damaged but what drew their attention was a giant crater inside which laid a mass of flesh and broken bones with copious amount of blood pooling around the person.
With that as Ryuu and his group made their way inside Lu Wu suddenly spoke, "How could you be so cruel you were not like this when I met you all those years ago.", as she spoke with tears appeared in her eyes.
Ryuu turned towards Lu Wu his face was devoid of emotions as he asked Lu Wu scaring her, "So what do you suggest I should have granted him mercy."
Lu Wu hesitatingly nodded as Ryuu suddenly burst into laughter as he replied to her, "Hahahahaha, you know you remind me of the time when I was young and naïve, people say that only the strong, courageous and just have the guts to forgive someone, if it so then I applaud them I salute them and I praise because at the end of the day I will never be as great as them because at the end of the day forgiving an enemy is akin to suicide. I learned it the hard way Lu Wu.", Ryuu sighed before he started speaking again, "Before I met you for the first time I made some friends simple village children who would never be able to glimpse at the world of cultivators because of their poor constitution but still they became my friends my first friends. One day a group of bandits came upon their village by mistake and tried to loot them but I thwarted their plans but when it was time to kill them I showed them mercy and chased them away, a mistake a huge mistake I learned later one when I to visit them again the entire village was killed they strung the bodies of the male on a tree as a warning while the woman irrespective of their age were taken as sex slaves, I tracked them down but it was too late they were just mindless statues by then existing to simply please thei 'master'", Ryuu spat the word master as if it was the most disgusting thing in the world.
By then Lu WU's teacher as well her martial aunt and her students looked at Ryuu with concern his eyes were filled with guilt, regret and a bit of madness in them.
"'Estele, Percy, Xavier Toni, Landon, Silvestre, Antonio, Channah, Salome, Narcisa', my friend were all dead and gone because of my foolishness because I showed someone mercy till today I whenever is sleep I see their faces screaming at me because I failed them, that day I slaughtered more than 500 people including the person who wanted to forcibly make you as his concubine the City Lord of your Home City."
By then Lu WU was openly crying and trembling, Ryuu simply let out a sigh as he rubbed his face trying to gain control of his emotions as he spoke, "A thousand apologizes my unsightly behavior, I wish to be left alone for some time."
