Chapter 430: Chapter 430 Ugly Chapter 430: Chapter 430 Ugly A few days ago, the dwarf encountered Big Bull at Qinger Building and suffered a major loss at his hands. Had he not escaped quickly, he might have even lost his life.
After escaping that night, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was Ghosts Tremble in Fear, a renowned name in the Itinerant World, yet he was defeated by an obscure youth in this backwater place.
Humiliated and enraged, he vowed to seek revenge. Since he had been seriously injured by a palm strike from Big Bull and had no confidence of winning a confrontation, he could not swallow his pride. Thus, after much deliberation, he thought of using the county magistrate to deal with Big Bull, which led to the yamen runners searching Qinger Building twice.
The yamen runners questioned the procuress overtly and covertly about Big Bull. However, the procuress knew nothing about Big Bull and eventually, they had no choice but to return and report to the county magistrate.
Only after the dwarf had warned the county magistrate, did he drag his lame leg, hobbling away from the County Yamen.
The shops in the county were not like those in the remote areas of Jingshan Town that closed once it got dark. Many of the shops here were open until dawn.
The dwarf walked into an inn.
The shopkeeper of the inn, a man around thirty years of age, was sitting at the counter by the entrance. When he saw the dwarf, who was less than a meter tall, not only hunched over but also as ugly as a demon, his expression soured. Impatiently waving his hand, he shooed him away, “Go on, get out of here! What kind of monster are you, scaring away our guests?”
Upon hearing this, the dwarf’s eyes fiercely glinted. With a threatening voice, he said, “You son of a bitch, dare to say that again and see if I don’t twist your head off.”
The shopkeeper was startled by the dwarf’s ferocity.
However, he quickly regained his composure, defiantly retorting, “Look at you, so tiny and not even reaching my thigh, and yet, you dare to threaten me when I refuse you service? Where is the logic in that!”
“This is the logic in my world,” the dwarf said as he took out a sharp knife from his clothes, and with a swoosh, stabbed it into the shopkeeper’s hand right on the counter.
“Ah…!”
The shopkeeper immediately started howling like a banshee. His hand, which had been resting on the counter, was now pinned down by the knife, causing him to break out in a cold sweat from the intense pain.
“Shopkeeper, what’s the matter now? Are you willing to serve me or not?”
The dwarf was devilish as he extended his claw-like hand and patted the shopkeeper’s face.
At that moment, the shopkeeper was in so much pain he could hardly bear to utter a word of refusal.
“Master, please spare me! Master.”
“You people are just asking for it, only behaving after I show my power,” the dwarf said as he forcefully pulled the knife from the shopkeeper’s hand.
“Pff.”
Blood spurted out at once.
“Ah…!”
The shopkeeper let out another agonizing scream.
Many guests in the inn, hearing the dreadful screams, ran out to see what had happened.
“What are you limp dicks looking at? Piss me off further and see if I don’t chop you all together,” the dwarf fiercely swept his gaze across them.
The guests shivered upon seeing the dwarf’s appearance, thinking to themselves, “My God! There actually exists such a person, or should I say ghost? And he’s so brutal, wielding a weapon and harming others.” They all tacitly retreated to their own rooms, daring not to come out.
“Stop your howling and hurry up to prepare the main room for me. If you delay, you won’t even have the chance to howl,” the dwarf demanded.
