Chapter: 255

“You think you’re something but you’re nothing. Wake up to yourself; you’re weak, stupid and pathetic. You seriously thought this would work? Just how dumb are you?”


Stephen said nothing as he shivered, still holding his dagger up – but against all logic, he suddenly found the nerve to talk back.

“You’re probably just strong because you push other people down! You’re like a parasite! You’re probably just exploiting someone else to get stronger! I bet deep down you’re just a scared little boy! Admit it.” A smug smile almost began to form on Stephen’s face.

“How stupid is this guy? Are we even living in the same reality?” Jay wondered.

Stephen had absolutely no clue about Jay’s life, he simply started to judge Jay and tried to make him look like some sort of evil villain – even though there was no one else around. It was like he was trying to rile up a crowd of people which didn’t exist to come and defend him.

“He tried to kill me because I embarrassed him, now he’s calling me evil? Seriously? This loser probably thinks he’s some kind of hero in a story, that everything he does is morally good – and if not, he will do all sorts of explaining to justify the evil acts he does, giving himself a pat on the back at the end of the day… These self-justifying types often commit the most evil.” Jay thought as he looked at the pitiful man before him. His brows were furrowed, mixed with anger and pity; he wasn’t sure what to feel.

“Huh..” Jay was surprised with his own thoughts. They were quite deep for a situation like this.

“Perhaps the immortal book is giving me these thoughts..”

Stephen was silent, his eyes widened. He looked as if he got caught opening someone else’s presents – it was like he was hoping that Jay would buy his story.

A wide smile was about to form on his face as he waited for Jay to fall into his psychological manipulative trap, wondering if he could trick Jay into arguing with him right after he attacked Jay – but after Jay’s next actions, his eyes started tearing up.

Clearly, Jay’s thoughts were elsewhere.

Stepping forward, Jay grabbed Stephens dagger by the blade.

Blood dripped onto Stephen’s glasses.

Jay received some damage, but it was worth sending a message. He ripped it out of Stephen’s double-grip with ease, tossing it away..

“How will I make him remember this…” thought Jay.

He knew he had to send a message, or people like this would just get slightly stronger, get over confident, and then try to hurt people they didn’t like – all while giving themselves a false sense of moral high ground and a self-congratulatory pat on the back.

The sad thing was, people like Stephen truly believed the bullshit coming out of their own mouths – even though they were the ones who made it up.

“Hmm…”

Jay stomped down on Stephen’s foot, causing him to wince a little.

Taking his sword out again, he stabbed it into Stephen’s leg, between his tibia and his achilles tendon.

“GRAAAHHH!!!!” Stephen screamed in pain, tears flowing from his face.

Truly, he was like a little child who thought the world belonged to him, but seeing his scream powerlessly made Jay smile.

Jay shrugged “I don’t know why you’re screaming, the next part will hurt more.”

He ripped his sword out sideways, severing the achilles tendon.
