The Cursed One : The Darkside of The World

AJWA CITY On a hot and sunny day, a young and handsome warrior was seen walking down the streets of Ajwa City which was bustling with people passing by. The young swordsman was wearing a caped hat with a luxurious-looking outfit, his hand was holding a sword with a blue gem stuck to the hilt. Among the other swordsmen who are passing by on the streets, this swordsman is the one who looks stands out in his blue clothes and pure white trousers that he is wearing. The women who passed by this young swordsman stole glances in admiration, many of them were fascinated by this young swordsman's good-looking appearance. The young swordsman then entered one of the food taverns that looked crowded and ordered a seat. The waiter ushered the handsome young swordsman to the only empty table in the tavern. This afternoon, the tavern was full of visitors. "What would you like to order, young master?" The young servant asked the young swordsman politely. "Give me the dishes made of green vegetables, brown rice, and clear water." The swordsman said. "Okay, Sir. Is there anything else? This shop is very famous for its spicy roasted chicken, don't you want to try it?" The waiter tried to promote the mainstay of this shop. "No thanks. I like green vegetables. Oh, wait, just add two kinds of fruit if you have any." The young swordsman adds to his orders. "Very well, young master. We have bananas and green apples. Would you like it?" The waiter confirmed the order from the young swordsman. "Yeah, that's good too. Please prepare quickly." The young swordsman ordered. The waiter bowed and immediately left before the handsome young man. Several pairs of eyes looked at the young swordsman with spiteful eyes. They were envious of the handsome and rich-looking young swordsman. "Look at that, he must be the son of a rich man that walking around this town." The bald warrior said to his 3 friends. They sat at a table adjacent to the table where the handsome young man was sitting. His fellow warriors spontaneously looked at the handsome young man in unison. "A handsome rich boy, obviously a girl's dream. I hate people like him." Another swordsman in blue clothes said. "Yes, his sword looks luxurious. But I'm sure, his abilities are just bullshit. A rich young man like that must be practicing swordsmanship like playing around." Said the other friend who was wearing a headband. When they were busy talking about the handsome young man, a servant walked back and forth in front of them. This makes them irritated because disturbing their view. "Hey, waiter. Don't just walk around back and forth like that. You Just annoy our view." The bald swordsman scolded the young servant. "I'm sorry, Master swordsman. The shop is busy, so, I inevitably have to walk here and there often." Said the young servant. The servant looked to have the same age as the handsome male swordsman. "Walk somewhere else, I don't like seeing your ugly face." The bald swordsman again scolded the servant. The young servant doesn't want to cause any trouble, he bowed and apologized before leaving. The handsome young swordsman heard all the conversation between the young servant and the group of swordsmen near his table, he was displeased with their arbitrary actions against weaker people and hoped that he would have a chance to beat those arrogant men up. The waiter was very busy because so many visitors need to be served while the other servant was not going to work today, only he and his boss served all the customers at the shop. Busyness made the servant forget and returned to pass back and forth in front of the bald warrior and his friends. When the servant brought some dirty dishes to clean, the bald man deliberately put his foot forward so that the servant stumbled to the floor. "PRANGG!!!" The young servant fell and made all the plates he was carrying shattered. Everyone in the tavern looked at the fallen servant. "Ouch!" The young servant groaned in pain. "Hey, watch your walks, you i***t. You kicked my leg." The bald swordsman scolded the servant. The young servant immediately stood up to apologize "I'm sorry, sir. I won't do that again." The servant said with a bow. He knew that the bald man had knocked him down on purpose, but he doesn't want to get into trouble with these warriors and just wanted to do a good job. He needed money, a lot of money. The bald swordsman stood in front of the young servant who is still bowing. "Heh, do you think that your apology is enough to cure my sore leg? Where's your boss? Let me talk to him." The bald swordsman was deliberately looking for trouble. "Sir, please don't involve my boss. It's my fault, sir, has nothing to do with my boss." The young servant still spoke politely to the bald swordsman. The bald swordsman grabbed him by the collar and said, "You're so annoying! Can you compensate for this pain in my leg?" "Wait, sir. I am the owner of this place. If there is a mistake in our service, we apologize profusely. Please release my man." Ho Hua the owner of the tavern hurriedly came and spoke to the bald swordsman. Ho Hua was a good old man and he was a wise tavern owner. He knew if his servant was not at fault, if his servant was at fault, it must be by accident. Moreover, during this one month after he hired the young servant, the servant had always worked hard, honest and tenacious. Therefore he defended his worker. "So, you're the owner of this tavern. Fine, I'll accept your apology, but, you still have to compensate for my sore leg because being kicked by your stupid servant." The bald man said confidently. Ho Hua sighed, he intended to comply with this bald man's request. "Very well, sir. I will replace it. How much should I replace?" Ho Hua asked. "Well, I'm not asking for your money. I'm not a blackmailer. You just give me all my food and my friends free this time. That's enough." The bald man intended to avoid paying for all the food they ate today. Ho Hua looked at his servant and asked, "How much do these gentlemen charge?" "5 pieces of silver, Mr. Ho." The waiter said. "Very well, gentlemen. As compensation, I will waive your bill for free this time." Ho Hua said to the bald man. "But Master..." The young servant was about to protest Ho Hua's decision because he didn't feel guilty, but was restrained by Ho Hua. "Good. That's a wise choice. Haha..." The bald man spoke while looking at his friends and they laughed together without any shame at all. "Wait a minute!" The handsome young swordsman who was sitting near the commotion suddenly spoke. "This servant is innocent. This man deliberately put his foot forward when this servant walked so that he fell. I saw it for myself. So, these gentlemen are not entitled to any compensation. In fact, this servant should get compensation from them." The handsome young swordsman said while pointing at the bald swordsman. In an instant, the handsome young swordsman became the center of attention. Everyone looked at him, especially the girls who immediately fell in love with his bravery.  Hearing all the words of the young swordsman, the bald man felt very embarrassed, especially since everyone was looking at him. "Hey, You! Why are you interfering? Do you have any problem with us?" The bald man walked forward towards the young swordsman and glared at him with threatening sight. "Relax, gentlemen, I will still compensate for this matter. So, please return to your seat, please." Ho Hua tried to cool down the tense atmosphere. He knew if this tension continued, he would be at a loss if there was a fight in his tavern. "It's all right, Mr. owner. Justice must be served, and I believe I'm in the right position." The young swordsman said to Ho Hua. "Huh! So, you want to pretend to be a hero here? A rich young man like you does not know the harshness of the martial world, want to play heroes? Don't be pretentious! You little brat." The bald swordsman underestimated the young swordsman as he walked closer towards the young swordsman. The two of them are now facing and stared intently at each other. "If I play the hero role, then there must be a villain, right? Will you accompany me to play the villain? That role seems appropriate for trash like you." The young swordsman was not afraid of the bald man's threat and instead looked down on them. "Crazy Bastard! You are looking for death!" The bald man couldn't contain his emotions after being humiliated by the young swordsman. All of sudden, he starts attacking the young swordsman.
