The Gods' Decree Chapter 155

Crack!

An object seemingly fell from the darkened skies without warning . This startled the group of bandits rummaging through the caravans .  

Whatever fell could not be seen due to the impact of its descent, which created a huge dust cloud . When the dust faded they saw a youth with a  mix of black and brown dreads .

On his face was a cheeky smile .

" What tha fuck?!

It's raining kids . I've seen it all!"

One of the bandits exclaimed in sheer fright at what he just saw . Who wouldn't be in his position? A person doesn't just fall out of the sky at any given time .

What made it even freakier was now a slight downpour had started .

Crk! Crk!

Taf then stretched and twisted his body .

" Oh shit! Now that feels a bit better . I should remember next time to jump from a lower altitude . Someone might get the impression I am suicidal . "

He muttered while the group looked at him in sheer horror . Below him was a crater spanning at least 154 meters in width .   

What did he actually say? He fell from the sky, what freak of nature did they now have in their presence .

While look at all the bandits before him Taf had a wicked grin on his face while saying,

" Doesn't this bring back memories of the good old day?"

There the bandits stood in total disbelief before one of the few seemingly had enough . He then threw an emerald in Taf's direction before uttering,

"I don't know where the hell you came from kid, but get lost! Take that and go . You're getting in our way . "

He attempted to shoo Taf away while gesticulating with his hands . Which was understandable as they awaited some guests who as yet have yet to arrive .  

AdvertisementTaf then casually replied, "I'm truly sorry I'm such a disappointment but I will be the party providing the entertainment for today's proceedings, unfortunately . Let me introduce myself . "

Taf then put his right hand to his mouth as he coughed,

"Eh em!

You're now in the presence of the one and only Mouse . I, however, tend to play better when a Sir precedes it . I am after all a gentleman . "

Taf shameless spouted with a serious expression .

His audience was quiet for a few seconds stunned by his words before they all simultaneously burst into a chorus of laughter .

" I knew it!

This kid is a nut case . Must have fallen on his head a few seconds ago .

Tell me, kid, how many fingers am I holding up?"

One of the bandits held four fingers in the air which only fueled the laughter once more .

Crk! 

"Ahhh!" The man screamed in agony as his four fingers were broken oddly backward within a flash by the youth with dreads . Taf then replied,

" Did you mean now? Pardon me, but i don't see any fingers . Guess I am truly as you say 'Nuts' "Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

The man continued to scream as Taf didn't stop by breaking his fingers but his whole hand made a cracking sound as all his bone were crushed in Taf's grip .

He screamed while begging for mercy for the youth who so callously referred to himself as Sir Mouse .

Yet, it was similar to hastily putting his head under a guillotine and asking not to be beheaded .

Soon smoke started escaping from Taf's grip with the smell of flesh being burnt lingering in the air .

His comrades were so stunned that they didn't know what to do . None saw when the youth who called himself Sir Mouse had even made a move .

" What a pity, huh? Now not even a hand remains . "

Taf uttered as he released his grip and what the bandits saw would let anyone lose their appetite . It was chard repulsively disfigured stump take the place of where the man's hand use to be .

All momentarily took a step back as they observed Taf who with a flicker, disappeared . They all became nervous, frightened out of their minds as they wondered where could he be?

Crk!

All followed the breaking sound they heard . When the source of the noise was found they saw Taf's foot stamped down on the ankle of one of their comrades .

He was in such pain that not even a sound escapes from his mouth, only tears from his eyes .

" Trying to sneak off, are we? You should know no one leaves the Mouse without the proper reparations . "

As Taf spoke he had a playful look on his face . This expression only made the group of men deemed as bandits shiver .  

By his movements and the strength exerted they now knew this was an individual who could slaughter them all with ease .

What is the point of having a numeric advantage when you can't see your target?

This was no kid, he probably was some old bastard who still cherished his teenage looks . They seemingly came to the same conclusion as Kallen from the walls .

Wasn't this the only plausible assumption?

Even if they were told the truth, not even in a million years would they have believed it . Soon one of the bandits remembered his last word spoken, which was 'reparations' .

" Sir Mouse, before you mentioned reparations . Does this mean we can escape with our lives after offering something of significance?"

He questioned ensuring he addressed the fiend as he requested . Taf had a smirk on his face while he replied,

" Aren't you a smart fellow . You see, I'm quite principled .

We all make mistakes, right? So I'll offer you all this opportunity to well, how can I put this?

Hmmm, breath like all other living creatures do . "

Hearing Taf words they all wondered how can a man with such strength be so shameless as to extort individuals such as themselves .

Did this man have no sense of professional ethics? There is an unwritten code among thieves . You don't rob a man while he is on the job .  

How could the robbed continue in his profession when his reputation was so harshly tarnished? Wouldn't he then have to do the  'unthinkable' which was the make an honest living? 

" Well, I see no one wants to depart from their belongings, huh?" Taf uttered as two small golden hammers were summoned to his hand . This jolted a reaction from the bandits who unwilling pulled their space pouches .

" Now I should perhaps disclose not all payments absolve one from say, a broken or dislocated limb . You all have done some unscrupulous acts in the past .

As a member of the prestigious Dark Abylis Sect, how could i possibly turn a blind eye, hmm? Isn't that simply tainting our reputation?"

Taf then righteously spoke .

They all cursed in their minds as it could be seen this man did not care about any of their previous misdeeds .

He simply wanted to bleed them dry and then boldly use the name of The Dark Abylis Sect to further his plot .  

Plop!

the first pouch was thrown in his direction by a man though tall was seemingly meager . Taf took a moment to scan through before uttering,

" Is this really all you have?"

His question apparently offended the man as a vein began protruding on his forehead . Half of his live-savings were in that pouch, yet this man found it unsatisfactory .

If he had the strength he swore he would beat him to a pulp .  

" Tell me, which of your hands do you wield your weapon with?"

Taf then asked a question off-topic which the man in question found peculiar . Yet he replied,

" I handle my sword with my right arm . " 

Hearing his reply Taf nodded his head before a cold gaze was given to the man .

Flicker . . . , Taf once more disappeared .

Crack!

Taf moved similar to the wind appearing before the man who was frozen in place as he looked at his right arm that was pulverized by one of Taf's hammers .

It happened so fast that the pain was not yet felt through the rest of his body as he screamed in anguish .

" Guess you'll need to start practicing with your left . "

He then spoke dismissively allowing the man to leave with his wounded arm .

Taf then looked to the group as he once more addressed them while they all subconsciously took another step back .

" now think long and hard and ask yourselves this question .

How much are my limbs truly worth?"

With haste, they all summoned anything they previously hid . Some had earlier summoned one pouch but now there were two and even three .

After all the space pouches were quite limited in the cubic feet available . This meant that a person might have multiple on them at any given time .

They knew this fiend would not let them leave unharmed unless satisfied . However, this was better than death wasn't it?

One after the other they all left . Some were more fortunate than others and sustain little to no harm . While there were those who weren't so fortuitous and could barely crawl .

Seeing the last of the bandits leaving Taf had a smile on his face tallying what he had scored . Sure he could have massacred them with ease however this conflicted with his modus .

He had no qualms in pulverizing his victims . It would have been different if they had any form of killing intent towards him . That's always a death sentence in his book .

 Looking in a direction devoid of any seeming movement . Taf hen asserted himself saying, 

"Did you enjoy the show Chubby? How about you and your three underlings make your way out for little chat, huh .

I don't have all day . "
