Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 966: A bad person

"What do you think I stole?" Karyk directly asked the people before him, despite not thinking that they would know. These people were more or less ignorant and thought they could get something valuable. Although the men did not answer, their blank reaction was enough for Karyk to understand everything. "In that case, I will ask you a different question," he stated. "What makes you think that you can take something from me?"

At first, he was willing to hand over all his money, because he did not want to change much of the past. He did not want to be tossed out of the past. He thought that this was the part of the past where they were supposed to rob him successfully. There was no way for the book writer to defend himself because he was just a weak man. He thought that the man was probably beaten as well. He did not accept to be beaten to stay close to the past. However, he was planning to give the money over. However, that was all before he learned that the book writer was supposed to be a thief. If it was a person who could infiltrate even the inner city, then was it really possible for him to be beaten and robbed?

Although it was hard for Karyk to constantly guess the past and future based on the circumstances, he tried to do it as much as possible. "I thought he was beaten and robbed. If it was just that, you people would have been safe. But since that's not the case, can you really do something to me?"

If the news about him stealing from the inner city was disclosed, it was problematic. He didn't have to think hard to understand what the book author did to these people in the past. "Huh? You are asking me what makes me think I can take something from you?!" The leader of the group burst into an arrogant laughter. "Did you all hear this bastard?" he asked his followers, finding it hard to control his laughter. "Does he really think that he is the Royal Knight or something? A mere thief, and such arrogance?"

He had imagined a lot of ways this could go. He thought that the person was going to be scared and beg for forgiveness right away. He even thought that he was going to hand over the item he stole, but to think that he was talking back to them?

"Boss, maybe he has gone crazy. He would regain his sanity after being hit a few times. Should we?" A young man in the back chuckled, raising a metallic bat. "Go ahead. But make sure you don't accidentally kill him. If that thing isn't with him, then it would be impossible to find it."

"Don't worry boss. I will make sure to only break a few of his bones." The young man proudly stepped towards Karyk. He raised his bat to hit Karyk. "You brat, you can only blame yourself for what's about to hap-" His words were cut in the middle of his sentence. He saw Karyk turn upside down, followed by a thud. His head fell on the ground, slowly covered in a puddle of blood. "I will repeat the same question. What makes you think that you can steal from me?" Karyk stepped forward and placed his foot on the young man's head. He gently pushed the rest of the man's body, which was still standing. The body soon fell on the ground. Everyone in this area looked at each other's faces. They could not understand what they had just seen. The boss of this gang even rubbed his eyes and slapped himself to wake up from this dream. Karyk hadn't even moved, so how did his follower die? Only people from the Inner City should have strength to perform miracles, so how?

"Y-you are from the Inner City?!" After realizing that this was not a dream, the man exclaimed in shock. The others in the group were also horrified. Did they just try to rob someone from the Inner City? It was as if they had run straight to their deaths. Everyone in the outer city knew that they should never offend people from the inner city. Even the gangs never dared to do such a thing. Still, when they heard that someone had robbed the inner city, they thought it was an opportunity for them.  They could steal the item, without having to come across anyone from the inner city. "It is impossible! How can he be from the Inner City? He was just an ordinary worker! The old man at work also treated him like one! And according to our informant, he had lived here all his life!"

Qien did not want to believe it. He had already done his due diligence before doing something like this. Why would someone from the inner city live in this area all his life? "But that was a miracle! Only Inner City people can perform miracles!" Another man exclaimed.

"We have made a huge mistake! We never should have done it!"

"I don't want to die!"

Almost the entire group had lost their morale in an instant, not even daring to fight back. The boss was the first person to drop to his knees. He started apologizing profusely, saying that he wouldn't have done it if he had known. He even offered to work for Karyk instead, making sure that no one troubled him in the future. The others in the group also fell to their knees, repeatedly hitting their heads like maniacs, begging for forgiveness. Their foreheads were covered in blood, but they kept going. "Not long ago, I told someone that I was a bad person. But he did not believe it," Karyk said, raising his right hand. "At least you would die knowing that I am indeed a bad person."

He knew that keeping these people alive could be useful. But he wanted to stick close to the past he believed had occurred. And that involved killing everything that became an obstruction for him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
