Domination System

Chapter 16

Wonpas village, a huge crowd had gathered to watch an ongoing commotion. The elder Harold had finally come to collect his payment.

“Harold, I beg of you please, just one more day. I promise I’ll bring it to you” chief mutilo knelt holding the legs of elder harold, snot and tears decorating his face.

If only he could just have a day more. Since kulin and Justin were unlikely to come back then the nest course of action was abandon the village with his daughter. He Would rather do that than marry her off to that fat glutton Harold had for a son.

Harold snorted, was the man hungry for another kick? “Seize her” he ordered his men while pointing at Matilda. There was to be no delay.

“No, dad! Leave me!” Matilda struggled in the men's arms but all to no avail her power couldn’t match that of five strong men.

Suddenly the crowd that had gathered started murmuring as some of them made a path clear, “isn’t that kulin? Who’s that with him?” “I think it’s the man the village guards rescued” “ hmm I heard they went to the jungle for the herbs” “doesn’t the herb reside in the fearsome Taijins territory? How are they alive then?!” “Maybe they gave up halfway…who knows” conversations like that went on among the people. The day was getting more interesting by the minute.

Justin and kulin walked along the oath the people made for them with dead serious expressions on their faces. That Harold bastard, so this was his plan all along. They would go to the jungle to retrieve the herbs and he’d send people to cement their deaths so his useless son can marry Matilda!

How did they know he was the one that sent the shadow brother? Well…who else would wanna stop them from bringing the herbs if not that bastard?!

Justin went over to the men holding Matilda and without a thought he punched one in the face. The punch sent him flying into the crowd whole the others tried to attack Justin.

“Touch him and you die” kulin’s voice came and the men looked to see him pointing his bow at them. He meant business!

One of the men was still hesitant. Why should he listen to a weak looking man like kulin. He probably couldn’t even fire the bow he held.

The man scoffed and still went on to attack Justin with a punch. In less than a second an arrow had pierced the hand which the man threw at Justin. “ahhh f**k!!” The man screamed as he held his arm, arrow deep inside and blood dripping from it.

“Heh that was just a warning, next one won’t be so merciful” kulin said directing his eyes to the man's heart region.

The man shivered and backed off, he didn’t need to be told what kulin meant by that gesture. He absolutely would not give his life for a man like harold. His life was worth more than a few manbres. Seeing the man back off, a smug smile appeared on kulin's face “now that’s more like it eh?”

“Fools!” harold said in anger, he then went over to Matilda trying to take her away. Justin caught his hand mid air “you don’t dare to” as he said that he squeezed his hand and the subtle but discernable sound of bones cracking could be heard. Harold clenched his teeth in pain as he tried to free himself from Justin.

Justin was unrelenting and he pulled Harold closer to himself, whispering in his ears Justin said “They're all dead Harold…and you're next”. Harold’s expression drastically changed when he heard that. What did he meant by they're all dead? The shadow brothers perharps? Impossible!

Justin smirked after he said that and finally freed Harold from his grasp. He put his hands in the bag he carried and brought out one dry water herb which he tossed at Harold.

The crowd gasped at this sight. The two really did it! Something rarely seen but in a matter of days the two lads had successfully brought back dry water herbs!

Harold himself was speechless when he caught the plant. This was really the dry water herb. How the hell did they get it from the Taijins, and the mother taijin at that. Besides the shadow brother, how did they escape them? Could it really be…? No, never! Maybe the brothers just tools his money and fled. Yes, they couldn’t have killed the shadow brothers.

Shame caught harold as the mocking eyes of the villagers looked at him. He cleared his throat and ordered his men to leave with him.

When Harold had gone a distance, Justin remembered something and called to him. “yo Harold! I’ve got something for ya!” Justin called Harold.

Harold stopped in his tracks and turned back to affirm if it was truly him someone was referring to. When he saw it was Justin, his eyes narrowed. What did the boy want with him again?

Justin once again dug his hands in his bag and brought out a smaller bag which seemed to have some things inside. “here, this is for you!” he going the small bag directly at Harold.

Harold struggled to catch it but when he did, he was a bit reluctant to open it. After some time of thinking he decided to. What could the boy do to him in the middle of the villagers anyway.

As Justin watched Harold slowly open the bag his mouth curled up. Harold face was taken over by fear when he saw the contents of the bag. They were the shadow brothers’ headbands, all four of them…stained with blood!

Justin smiled and went over to chief doctor mutilo as he held him up and showed him the contents of the bag. The chief's eyes widened as dry water herb filled his entire vision!

Justin laughed at the chief's expression, he was really satisfied. Well that’s why he was called justin…he always managed to come just-in time( pun intended ;) )
