Aatrox, A God King In A Modern World

Chapter 88 - 88 - Why don't you try it?

To differentiate between soldiers and peasants, Aatrox refined control over the intention to kill. In the beginning, he only knew how to feel the intention to kill, after this battle he learned to feel who was exhaling this intention. Thus, those who intended to kill high were considered soldiers, and those who did not were considered peasants.

Some peasants with a lot of intent to kill died, just as some guards survived, but Aatrox didn't care. These people became grateful to him and gave him the nickname Lord of War after seeing how he alone waged a war against an entire kingdom and won.

...

Now, when Aatrox saw the number of guards that the Price family had placed on patrol, he instinctively tried to feel the intention to kill them. And as he expected, most of those people weren't really guards.

As a test, he pulled a guard with the intention of killing the average man and immobilized him. When the guard opened his eyes, instead of looking at Aatrox with hostility, he looked at Aatrox with hope.

Before Aatrox could ask what was going on, the 35-year-old man apparently said. "Are you the invader who's turning the Price family into frightened dogs?"

"Yeah, why aren't you hostile to me?" Aatrox asked trying to find out more about what the Price family was doing.

Hearing Aatrox's question, the man was furious and answered. "These bastards, first they hired me as a gardener, then they added more and more bills to my salary, in the third month I, instead of receiving a salary, owed them, the snowball was only increasing more and more, until they started using me as a slave." The man said as he looked with angry eyes at the Price family.

"Are there many of you?" Aatrox asked.

"They hire new people every month, I've lost count of how many people have been here." The man answered a little bit down.

"How do they hide so many people?" Aatrox asked trying to prove the hypothesis he had when he invaded.

"To have control over us, they threaten us. Those who do not obey are killed and have their organs removed to be sold on the black market." The man answered.

When Aatrox heard his confirmation, his anger grew even greater. Just knowing about organ trafficking has already made him want to end this family to be rewarmed.

Aatrox was no saint, the number of people he had killed in his thousands of years as a War God, if they all queued up in a single row, the number of turns on earth that this queue would make would be unimaginable. So he wasn't really very affected if anybody had illegal business, now the problem is that he (Benjamin) was one of the victims of this family, it was like they had conspired against Aatrox himself. Whatever this family does, Aatrox will put himself in the place of the victims, because he was already one, and imagine what it would be like if he were one of those people. If they try to kill me, I will kill you and your whole family. It was the philosophy that Aatrox always followed, thus bringing about the ruin of kingdoms that thought they could deal with him.

Feeling that the man wasn't trying to resist and all his hostility was directed at the Price family genuinely, Aatrox left him and went on a hunt for the real guards, now that he already knew the story.

...

He lost count of how many human guards he killed, until finally a different person appeared. Aatrox could feel the energy radiating from that person. "A cultivator. He thought.

After so many normal guards disappeared, the five heads of security of the Price family, all growers, gathered together and decided that one of them should go investigate what was going on.

It was decided that Sam would investigate. He was one of the weakest cultivators, being in the penultimate position, but compared to a normal human he was sometimes stronger, so his ego was immense.

Coming accompanied by four mortal guards, they began to observe the area in search of the invader. Suddenly, a noise was heard from inside the plant sculpture that some gardener had made.

Sam looked at one of the subordinates and talked. "You, go see what it is."

The subordinate felt wronged, for having to stick his hand in an unknown place while he could have a trap, but remembering what happened to the last guard who complained of some order, he was silenced and put his hand. The texture of what he thought was kind of strange, seemed to have some small hairs, and a familiar skin, but still strange.

Pulling out the object that seemed to be the size of a basketball, everyone paid attention to react quickly, but instead of a trap, what came out of the inside in the sculpture was a head. But not an animal's head, but a human head.

The mortal guards took a step back in fear. They may have killed people, beaten them, tortured them, but that was the first time they saw it happen to one of them. Swallowing it dry, they began to wonder if it had happened to them, and they realized that they were just lucky they weren't assigned to the area that this dead guard stayed in.

Approaching the head of security looking for protection, since they knew that he was stronger than some of them together, they thought that nothing could hurt them near one of the heads.

"Bastard... I'll find you and bring your head and give it to the dogs!" Sam screamed in anger at seeing one of his subordinates without his body, just with his head.

"Why don't you try it?" A voice came from above.

Sam quickly went on guard and looked in the direction the voice came. Sitting on a branch, there was a man, dressed all in black, with red gloves matching the blood-red mask.

In Sam's vision, that man with long hair shaking in the wind seemed to be 40 years old, for a subordinate he seemed to be 60 years old, for another he seemed to be 100 years old. Everyone saw it in a different way, the only way they didn't see it was the real one, thanks to the technique [Unknown Aura].
