Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 131

Chapter 131: The Monster Born From Sin… Part-1.
Capital City, Eastern District.

A small hidden Bar ‘Night King’ in dark alley.

“KAHAHHAHA, I told you I would win this bet… You really have no gambling sense!”

A man in his late fifties laughed mockingly at a much younger man sitting beside him.

The two of them seemed to be old friends who came to meet each other after a long time.

“A year ago, I made the bet with you that you would definitely get kicked out of the house… Look! Not only did you get divorced, you lost your house, your car, and all the money!”

“KEHEHEHEHEHE, I already told you that woman was no good, and what did you say to me ‘Bro, I think this is the woman I can love for my whole life’, bahahahaha…”

“Ah, my stomach hurts from laughing so much… I knew you would become a pathetic joke and would lose everything…”

The younger guy just sighed continuously while drinking and didn’t even dare to refute his friend’s criticism.

“Man, I thought she loved me… I gave her my everything!… sigh~”

The old guy patted his man’s shoulder and said,

“Bro, when the team got disbanded, I already knew you would mess up big time in life; people like us can’t live a normal life after all that we have done…”

The young guy sighed at those words and didn’t say anything; he just kept drinking.

After a few moments of silence, the older guy grinned a bit and said,

“So… you killed her then?”

The young guy nodded his head without hesitation.

“She dared to mess around with another man behind my back; I skinned her alive and forced the other guy to eat her corpse raw, then killed him and threw him into the sewers to rot…”

“But… sigh, I really loved that woman, bro… I really did, if only she hadn’t betrayed me… You were right; people like us don’t really deserve to be happy…”

“By the way, how’s ‘It’ now back at ‘Home’?”

The old guy shook his head and sighed before saying,

“Disbanded… The whole thing got disbanded after our team chose to retire; we were their best cards afterall…”

“Sigh, after all those years of killing and all… Normal life doesn’t suit me; I don’t feel alive enough… Whenever I look at innocent people walking past me… I feel the urge to strangle them to death…”

“If not for the fact that the ‘Home’ got disbanded, I would have gone back to join another team…”

Hearing those words, the young guy sighed and said,

“Seriously Zeran… We shouldn’t have stopped what we were doing… All those years of killing have made me bloodthirsty, and now I crave blood… I want to see people beg for mercy in front of me…”

“Living the life of assassins, we have become bloodthirsty monsters…”

Zeran nodded his head and said,

“When we retired, I already knew that we wouldn’t be able to go back to a normal life. I even tried to warn you about it, Hark… But you didn’t listen.”

“Now the organization is gone, and we are left in the dust…”

“The rest of the three members who committed murder got caught by police as they were not able to control their bloodlust and ended up getting the death penalty for committing murders…”

Hark shook his head and kept drinking more.

“Even the wine feels tasteless… The days when we used to drink wine mixed with the blood of freshly killed people were the best days…”

“I always want to go back to those amazing days; at that time, I used to feel so ‘alive’ and ‘happy’ that I couldn’t express that feeling…”

Just when the two were talking and reminiscing about their past, a man wearing a big hat and a black coat entered the empty bar.

Aside from the bartender, Hark, and Zeran, no one was there before.

But now an unknown man has entered all of a sudden, which has caused the atmosphere to suddenly become tense.

The old bartender glanced at the unknown stranger and said with a smile,

“Oh, we rarely get new customers here; what might you be looking for, sir-”

A magic circle appeared beside the unknown man before the bar tender could finish his sentence, and it fired an extremely condensed mana beam at the speed of Mach 2.

The beam hit the bartender’s head, and his head exploded like a watermelon hit by a bullet.

The blood sprayed everywhere and painted the walls a dark red.

Even the faces of the two assassins were stained with blood; the body of the bartender fell down, and the gun that he was secretly holding in his hand also fell down with a loud thud.

He was planning to hit the unknown man with a bullet, but the man was faster.

“Ah, my hand slipped a bit after seeing that gun; you shouldn’t have pulled it out; you nearly frightened me to death…”

The man’s tone carried immense coldness yet a hint of mocking in it.

He moved to the side of the two assassins, removed his large hat, and spoke.

“Nice to meet you, gentlemen. I am Jareth Ayad, an ordinary professor…”

Although his words seemed friendly, the look in his eyes and the intimidating aura put so much pressure on the two assassins that they couldn’t even breathe properly in his presence.

“Y-you… h-how…”

Zeran was so shocked by Jareth’s sudden appearance that he had no words to express the horror.

Just by standing there and staring at them, Jareth made the two assassins feel fear and horror in an instant.

“How did I find you? Well, it was a lot of work; it was very difficult…”

“Assassins like you guys are very good at covering up your tracks, but you forgot that the police have their own records… I just went to the police headquarters directly…”

“I asked them to bring the photos in which the killing pattern was the same as in my mother’s case…”

Jareth placed his hand on Zeran’s shoulder and said,

“And you know what? It turned out that they tortured one of your team members after catching him, and that guy told the police about your appearance…”

“But the police couldn’t find you, as you two are the most skilled assassins in your whole organization… peak Grade-2 warriors are difficult to capture after all…”

Jareth’s grip slowly tightened, and Zeran’s shoulder bone started to make sounds of cracking and breaking. A look of fear and pain appeared on Zeran’s face.

“The police couldn’t find you two, but… unfortunately for you, I have a strong mana detection ability… I used it to scan the whole capital city…”

“Well, I had to look at the faces of millions of people, so it was a difficult task, but… it was worth it…”

Jareth waved his finger, and a broken artifact came flying from a hidden corner of the bar.

“You guys really found a grade-1 mana detection nullifying artifact just for enjoying some free time here…”

“Your disguise was indeed good; if it were any other Grade 1 mage, they could have never found you… but unfortunately for you, you messed with the wrong guy’s life…”

“You met me…”

Upon hearing Jareth’s explanation, Hark spoke in a terrified tone.

“W-what do you want from us? You know, we didn’t purposely go to kill your mother; it was for money; it was our job… You have no right to blame us…”

“What you are doing is against the law; if you want to punish us, you should go to the court or police-”

Before Hark could continue, Jareth nodded his head and said,

“Yes, yes, I will go to the court too… but after I am done with the two of you…”

[Basic Magic: Mana Shackles!]

Chains made up of pure mana appeared and bound the two assassins tightly; in fact, he bound them so tightly that their bones started to crack.

“Don’t die, okay, I have a lot in store for you two…”

Zeran immediately started to think of ways to get out of this situation, and he said,

“Stop! You can’t do this to us! You are revered as the hero who saved Artavia, right? A hero shouldn’t be so petty; we only assassinated your mother because we followed the orders; we have no personal beef with you-”

Suddenly, a creepy smile appeared on Jareth’s cold face as he said,

“Ah, a hero? Me? You seem to have misunderstood something…”

“I am a monster…”

The shackles tightened and directly twisted Zeran’s leg 360 degrees, causing all of the bones to shatter and the muscles to tear apart, causing immense pain.

“AAHHHHHHH!!”

Zeran screamed at the top of his lungs like a beast, but Jareth just smiled and said,

“Yes! That’s how it is! Didn’t you laugh when you killed my mother in front of me… Look how loudly you are laughing now… Isn’t this very amazing?”

“Laugh more!!”

The shacles tightened and twisted Zeran’s hand this time, causing him to scream again.

“AHAHAHA LAUGH! YES YES! LAUGH MORE, Zeran! Don’t you like mocking others and laughing at them when they die! LAUGH NOW! Show me what you got!”

Jareth stretched his hand, pierced Zeran’s stomach, and forcefully dug out his intestines before putting them on his unharmed hand.

“LOOK! Your internals are spilling out! How amusing is that, right!? WHAT HAPPENED? Why are you not laughing anymore now!?”

“Don’t you like all this!? LAUGH! Zeran LAUGH!”

The immense pain messed up Zeran’s head, and he unconsciously followed Jareth’s order and started to laugh and cry at the same time while the immense pain tortured him.

“YES! Just like that! GOOD!”

Zeran became a bit relieved to see that Jareth was satisfied, and he was hoping that Jareth would let him go now, but before he could be happy for too long, Jareth’s expression became cold again, and he said,

“Hmm? WHO ALLOWED YOU TO LAUGH!? You piece of SH*T!”

The shackles tightened and twisted Zeran’s other leg so horribly that it was bent to the point that it could now flail in wind.

“AHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
