East Meet West

232- Confrontation

Author’s note:

Hello Readers, I know that I have been irregular for the past few weeks and the chapters published every week have decreased drastically, but there is a reason for that.

Actually, I was traveling away from my home and could not carry my laptop, so I was not able to write or publish anything.

But while I was traveling, I carried a book with me, so whenever I had time and whenever I got ideas, I started writing my ideas in that book.

And after I finished writing, I would type all that in a document through my phone.

But you must understand that typing a whole chapter using a phone, is a very tiring thing, so it took a lot of time and energy from me. Hence, the whole thing worked very slowly.

The good news is that I am back home.

This means- chapters will be released regularly.

Stay tuned.

================

Orochi said a few more words to Armelia and June, before letting them start with the plan.

Then he bid goodbye to Jadhar Wagh,

“Mr. Jadhar, thank you for accompanying us till here. So, I bid farewell and hope we can meet again in the future.”

Exchanging a few words with him, Orochi turned towards June and Armelia and gave them a small nod. And they too nodded slightly.

Taking a deep breath, Orochi walked towards the main exit of the auction building.

.

At the same time, at the top of the auction building, two people were looking down at the crowd gathered outside the building.

These two were none other than Mark Bons and Liza Dohm.

They have been observing the situation from the top and waiting for Orochi to come out. They wanted to see how Orochi was going to handle this situation.

“Uncle Mark, what do you think about this guy called Orochi? Do you think he really has a way to get out of this situation?”

Liza Dohm asked from the sidelines.

Mark Bons, who was stroking his beard answered with a calm expression,

“Normally, in a situation like this, any guy would either piss their pants and surrender all the things they bought or ask for help from our Golden Cloud Chamber of commerce. But this Orochi is truly interesting.”

His eyes narrowed slightly as he continued speaking,

“This guy’s cultivation is only in the Demi-Human stage, and from the aura, his body radiates, I feel that he has only reached the peak of Demi-Human stage. But what surprises me is that I can feel tremendous power radiating from him which is beyond the limit of any peak Demi-Human stage.”

“And if what I suspect is true, then he has the strength to fight against someone in Human stage with the cultivation of Demi-Human stage.”

Hearing this, Liza Dohm was shocked, and she asked,

“Uncle Mark, how is that possible? I have never heard of anyone being able to fight across a big realm.”

“Although, it looks like only a small difference between the Demi-Human stage and the Human stage, but one must know that there is a huge difference between a Demi-Human stage cultivator and a Human stage cultivator. Especially, that one belongs to the Mortal Realm and while the other belongs to the Transformation realm. A huge realm.”

Hearing this, Mark Bons chuckled softly and replied,

“Hehe... Liza just because you haven’t heard that doesn’t mean someone like that doesn’t exist.”

“I have read in some books that there are rare few enchanting geniuses... no enchanting monsters born in every era that are able to display magical abilities to stun the world.”

“And many of them have the ability to leapfrog and defeat opponents across and above their realms.”

“And these enchanting monsters, are the core disciples and object of training of places like the Empires and Top sects.”

“And I feel that this guy is from that place...”

When Liza Dohm heard this, her body shuddered as she asked in disbelief,

“How can you be sure that he is from the Empire or those Top sects? And even if he is, why is he in a small place like the town of Chans?”

Mark Bons did not reply to her, instead, he pointed and said,

“Look he is out.”

.

Orochi walked out at a very normal pace and looking at him walking so casually, one would doubt whether he is walking in the park and not into some encirclement.

He had a small smile on his face as he observed the people gathered outside the auction to catch him.

The whole area was caught in a moment of stillness after Orochi appeared.

Few people, who reacted quickly and sent their men to bring back reinforcements that were stationed at other exits, because Orochi has appeared in front of them, hence there is no need to cover other places, and also more men surrounding Orochi means, fewer chances of him escaping from here.

Suddenly, Orochi’s eyes stopped on Alex Xavier, who was also looking at him, with a smile on his face.

Beside him stood a dignified middle aged man, who looked quite similar to Alex Xavier and there was a word ‘Willow’ engraved on his dress. The middle aged man was looking at Orochi carefully with a hint of gloom and greed hidden in his eyes.

And another beautiful woman stood on the other side of Alex Xavier, who was similarly staring at Orochi but anger was clearly visible in her eyes.

Orochi instantly guessed the identities of the two.

His smile grew wider and he walked towards Alex Xavier’s group.

While he was walking, he took out a white mask and covered his face with it.

His actions confused everyone present, even Alex Xavier showed a confused expression on his face for a moment.

But Orochi did not bother to explain his actions.

When he was about 3 meters away from Alex Xavier’s group, he stopped walking.

There was a moment of silence in the field, which was suddenly broken by Orochi’s chuckle,

“Hehe... Alex Xavier, I really liked your gift. But I wonder who that woman was?”

Hearing this, Alex Xavier sneered and replied,

“Do you really not remember your friend's wife?”

Hearing this, Orochi acted surprised and asked,

“Oh, my friend? I wonder which friend of mine are you talking about?”

Seeing Orochi acting surprised, Alex Xavier sneered again and he knew that Orochi was trying to fool him into thinking that he captured and tortured the wrong person.

So, without any more words, Alex Xavier asked Steward Rake to bring that man.

The surrounding crowd that has been listening to their conversation, came to a sudden realization that there is already a previous conflict between the two parties. Realizing this, people who were eager to capture Orochi and take his belongings, stood on the sidelines and decided to wait and watch this show.

A few moments later, Steward Rake dragged with him a man who was tied to a chain.

Seeing that Steward Rake brought the person, Alex Xavier smugly looked at Orochi’s expression and waited to look at Orochi’s happy face turn into the face of despair.

Orochi also looked at the man that was being dragged by Steward Rake.

The man was covered with various bruises and his condition was very bad. He was bleeding from many places, and looking at his condition, it is very easy to conclude that the man was tortured to an extreme degree.

But the surprising thing is that the man did not show the expression of pain. Instead, his face was very calm.

And the eyes, which were supposed to be filled with despair and grief, were filled with anger and killing intent. And the same eyes were locked onto Alex Xavier.

Orochi sneered while looking at Steward Rake,

“Heh... old man.., looks like your bones are strong. Even after getting kicked by me, you still can show some strength, heh.”

Hearing Orochi’s words, Steward Rake got startled and remembered yesterday’s confrontation. And while he remembered the incident, his body shuddered in fear, but very quickly he remembered that today Alex Xavier’s father was also here. Thinking about this, all the fear vanished and his expression returned to normal. He did not reply to Orochi but tightened his grip on the man he was holding and looked playfully at Orochi.

Orochi sneered at Steward Rake’s face and then carefully observed the man that was being held by Steward Rake.

Finally, Orochi’s eyebrows got raised because he identified who the man was.

And he met that man quite recently.
