Chapter 2. First Battle!

The scent of blood from Jian Zhang’s small body made the wolves even more furious.

The skinny wolf jumped up and pressed directly against Jian Zhang’s body. Jian Zhang who had lost his strength, naturally couldn’t fight back. The boy protected his body with his two fragile arms which the wolf could probably break in one bite.

“Stop!” The male voice sounded in the air.

Jian Zhang’s vision blurred. He didn’t know who the man who came was.

The wolf’s ferocious voice turned into that of an obedient puppy. Then the footsteps sounded very thin, as if the man who spoke was just a hallucination.

Jian Zhang who is in critical condition, just waiting for seconds to die. His breath started fading, his consciousness was also slowly weakening.

“If you live, what do you want to do, kid?” The sound was so clear.

Jian Zhang adjusted his head. In a low trembling voice, he said, “I will kill everyone!”

***

Four years later....

Every spring comes, the Zhang kingdom always holds a ceremony to thank the gods. Many people from outside the kingdom and hunters who were just passing by filled the kingdom.

A young man entered the crowd in the city of Night Flowers. His clothes were shabby, his body was dirty with dust and mud.

People looked at him disdainfully.

The young man look dirty, but he had a sharp look behind his ugly face. The young man walked among the running children who shouted at him like a madman. But he doesn’t care. He kept looking around as if he knew the place very well.

Yes, he knew very well where he was. This is his hometown. Obviously, he still knows clearly. About the ceremony to be held by the kingdom. About what the citizens of the kingdom will do. Because he is Jian Zhang, the prince who disappeared four years ago. And now he’s back to keep his promise to his mother.

“Hey!”

A man shouted when Jian Zhang accidentally bumped into a young man who was probably not much different from his age.

“How dare you bump into young master with those stinky and dirty clothes of yours!”

There were two men who were far from Jian’s age, around 20 years and over. And it seems they are the Young Master’s servants.

“I don’t think you guys are blind.” Jian Zhang looked at the two men. “It was your young master who didn’t see the road, and he was the one who bumped into me.”

“Damn you! How dare you say that to young master Gu Chai!” The man pointed at Jian’s face with emotion.

“Gu Chai?” Jian Zhang repeated the name.

The name seems familiar. Jian Zhang thought for a moment, then looked back at the young master

Ah! Jian Zhang nodded his head. “His ugly face is very similar to his father’s.”

“Huh?”

The two men looked at each other in amazement and anger.

Has that man gone mad? How dare he call their master ugly? Gu Chai is the second son of Feng Chai, one of the most important ministers in the Zhang Kingdom.

“Looks like you’re already tired of living!”

The man attacked Jian with his right fist. Jian Zhang shifted his left foot, dodging in a faster motion.

Gu Chao smacked his fan in his right hand, chuckling in annoyance. “What are you doing?”

The man turned his head, but Jian Zhang quickly dealt a punch to the man’s face. Roughly.

BAMM!

The man was lying with a bloody nose. Instantly, his vision became blurry and dark.

Seeing his partner, that man could not be silent. He immediately attacked. But before his punch hit Jian Zhang, the young man moved fast and grabbed the man’s arm.

“Argh!”

In just seconds, the man was already screaming like a girl.

“Let me go, idiot!” He shouted in a pain.

Jian Zhang gripping his hand tighter. So strong as if to break it.

“Argh!” The man screamed in frustration.

‘Shit! Why is this young man so strong?’ He thought.

The youth’s strength did not match with his shabby appearance. He thought it would be easy to beat him, but he was wrong.

Meanwhile, the haughty Gu Chai was now silent.

A few minutes passed, like cotton in the wind. That was when Jian Zhang threw the man’s body right in front of Gu Chai.

Jian Zhang stepped closer to Gu Chai. The young master looked around frantically as if he was asking for help. However, none of them came forward. They turned their faces away from Gu Chai.

“Hey! What are you doing? Get up and kill this man!” Gu Chai still had some arrogance. But his orders didn’t apply to someone who was unconscious.

Jian Zhang walked closer. Cold sweat dripped from Gu Chai’s forehead, and a second later, Gu Chai immediately kneeled down in front of Jian.

“I’m sorry.” He said as swallowed his pride for his safety.

“I’m willing to pay compensation as long as you don’t hit me!” Gu Chai’s voice sounded scared.

Jian Zhang smirked in satisfaction. He was not very interested in the compensation that Gu Chai said. He was more interested in making Gu Chai’s ugly face even uglier.

“I don’t need it!”

Jian Zhang raised his foot, stomping on Gu Chai's head.

The people who were in the place looked at Jian’s actions with worry, also looked painfully at Gu Chai.

“Argh!!! Help, help me!”

Gu Chai screamed pitifully, but no one came to his aid. They were afraid of the man who looked like a madman. They are afraid of death

Jian Zhang only stopped when Gu Chai’s body stopped moving. Jian Zhang kicked Gu Chai’s body to confirm that the man had really passed out, and then he continued walking again, but the people who had been watching earlier suddenly approached. He was very familiar with that old face.

“young master Jian Zhang!” She called in shock, half to death.
