The Human Giant



"What a good joke. Also made me chuckle a little. Now tell me, how strong are the three of you, and who sent you." Yoze said with a stern face.

Looking at the three men standing before him, Yoze couldn't help but be disappointed at the simple assassination plan. To burst into Mr. Light's room and commit the assassination before leaving without a trace.

While it was simple, it would have been effective if Yoze wasn't here. The moment these three broke through the door, Yoze had heard it with his enhanced hearing and arrived inside the room within seconds.

If he didn't purposely reveal himself, they would have never known who had killed them. Now that he thought about it, he could have killed them without even stepping inside the room. All he needed was to send his spiritual energy and eliminate all the spiritual energy that didn't belong to Mr. Light.

"Ah, I was hoping this would be similar to a mysterious movie or game where I would need to look for clues on the attackers and their plans. Only then would I have been able to stop their plan and save the world?"

"Hmmm, on second thought, that would only be the case if his enemies had somewhat equal power to me. Never mind, as long as they die today, I don't think Mr. Light will care how they die."

"I might as well take advantage of this and try a few out a few things," Yoze muttered in his heart as he simply stared at the assassins without much pressure.

"Sir Yoze, I don't know what you are talking about. We are just normal servants. How could we try to kill the young master." Wilder said with a grim face.

Yoze turned his attention to Mr. Light's Head Butler, an old man approaching his 60s. If it wasn't for the fact that he was working for a wealthy family, he would have died a long time from natural causes. His hair had turned gray, with his hairline fading rapidly.

If not for his handsome face, which always seemed to signal that he was always serious, his deep wrinkles would have given others the impression that he had seen history itself. The male servants behind him weren't any better as they seemed to be Wilder's most loyal male servants who had followed him for years.

"If you aren't a martial artist, then the quality of these doors is quite poor. But from what I can tell you three traitors are at least third-rate martial artists ."

"Which is perfect training martial for Evi. Wait, stay here for a second while I go grab him." Yoze said, causing Wilder, Mr. Light, and his male servants to nearly choke.

"What the hell, aren't we supposed to fight to the death? Why are you suddenly leaving? If you are that weak and scared, why did you show up in the first place?"

Similar thoughts appeared in everyone's minds, but before reacting, they suddenly saw Yoze's body become a blur before disappearing.

"..."

One second later...

"Thud... Where am I? Head Butler, why are you here?"

Just as Yoze promised, exactly one second later, he reappeared with Evi in his hands. Witnessing the sheer speed that Yoze displayed, Wilder's grim face finally broke as he felt his heart gripped with fear.

He knew that someone in the Martial Artist realm could not reach this speed, and only Blood Masters could move so fast that the eye could no longer track it!

The male servants behind Wilder's face turned pale as they instantly knew they had made a mistake. They had only thought they needed to avoid one Blood Master, but who would have thought that a randomly hired scholar would have also been a Blood Master!?

"Evi, as you can see, these three planned to kill our employer. So beat them up to teach them a lesson." Yoze explained as he patted Evi's naked shoulders before pulling his hand away before it was sweaty.

"God damnit, I just wanted to get a break for once," Evi mumbled before his face suddenly turned pale.

He tried to cover his mouth with his hands, but before he could, it was already too late.

"Blah!"

Colorful vomit flew out of his mouth, causing it to splash all over Wilder and his male servants. They were so stunned by what they just witnessed that they didn't react until it was over.

"...I forgot to cover Evi in a protective layer before I rushed over here. Well, a lesson learned for another day: there were no victims anyway." Yoze said with a surprised tone.

"What about us? We are victims!" Wilder and his male servants screamed in anger and disgust.

...

"Who are you!?"

While Yoze and Evi were dealing with the traitors, a smiling young man blocked Suzanne in the halls. While the young man was handsome, she didn't dare to take him not seriously, as the look in his eyes made her feel like he viewed her as food.

She felt as if she was being stared at by a top predator, blocking her only path to save her life. Before the young man could explain himself, Suzanne drew out her hidden two long daggers with one in each hand.

Her ordinary presence immediately changed as the intense scent of blood filled the empty hallway, causing her to look like an assassin who had killed hundreds of people. Yet the young man in front of her didn't flinch as his smile remained as if he didn't take her seriously.

"I am the one who is going to eat you alive. But before then, I will ask you a few questions about some giant scholar named Yoze."

"If your answers are satisfied, I might allow you to keep a few of your bones to let your loved ones moan for your loss. That should be a fair enough deal. I am quite kind, don't you think." The young man chuckled, but his warm voice did nothing to soothe Suzanne's heart as she instantly released who her opponent was.

"Jilque of the Blood Sect and a student of Elder Chika. I didn't think he would send his best student to still get revenge for a petite thing from decades ago." Suzanne's eyes turned cold as she knew she wouldn't survive today.
