Chapter 99 - Eye For An Eye!
Now knowing the full details about the armour, Dante could finally really appreciate the craftsmanship.
Looking towards the side, Dante finally saw the man who gave him all this information.
"Judging from the clothes you're wearing and the amount of knowledge you have on these armour pieces, you probably work here don't you?"
"Hahaha! Great observation young master, now the real question is are you willing to buy this armour piece, it's expensive you know."
Dante didn't even hesitate as he replied
"After your amazing description of the armour how could I choose not to!"
Hearing Dante's words a wide smile appeared on the man's face as he instantly knew he had just won a big payday.
"haha! don't worry young master, I'll get you this armour piece right away!"
But just before the store assistant could go and finalise the deal, a loud voice interrupted
"Hold on!"
looking in the direction of the sound, Dante saw a luxuriously dressed young man being accompanied by two giant guards.
The young man had an arrogant smirk on his face as he walked towards Dante and the store assistant.
"Hold on don't be too hasty," as the young man said this a confident smile appeared on his face.
"That piece of armour, I want it"
As soon as these words came out of the young man's face, the expression on the face of the store clerk quickly changed into an awkward smile
" ermm... I'm sorry to tell you this young master, but another person has already ordered the armour piece so unfortunately, I won't be able to give it to you "
Hearing this the young man turned towards Dante and asked
"Are you the one who wants the armour?"
Before Dante could respond a bag of gold coins were thrown at his face.
"Take those coins and get out of here, I've had my eye on that piece for a while, you're just not worthy of even owning such a piece of armour!"
Looking at this arrogant fool in front of him, Dante was left completely stunned.
He couldn't actually believe that brainless antagonists like this existed outside of novels but here he was, face to face with such a braindead individual.
It seemed like some people were really were NPCs, there's just no way an actual person would behave like the right?
Dante didn't even bother to acknowledge the clown as he turned towards the store clerk.
"Please continue wrapping up the armour, I have to be somewhere later so I don't have time to waste here."
Realising that he was being ignored the young man's temper erupted
"How dare you ignore me! Do you even have any idea who I am?!"
In response to the young man's arrogant shouting, Dante turned in his direction and looked him up and down and after assessing him let out letting out a disdainful snort.
Seeing Dante's look of pure disdain and disgust, the young man felt a humiliation he had never felt before in his life!
"How dare you! Guards, I want him crippled!"
"But young master-"
"No buts! Today this man must be crippled or where will the face of my Baleview Clan go!"
hearing the firm words from their young master, the two guards had no choice and dashed towards Dante
Dante wasn't oblivious to the goings-on behind him and quickly reacted.
As the two guards approached they each sent out a terrifying punch towards Dante.
Seeing these attacks coming in his direction, Dante's expression didn't change at all. He just lightly ducked weaving in between the various attacks sent in his direction.
Bored of these futile attacks, Dante raised his hand and hit the guards right across their heads.
"Smack! Smack!"
With each attack, Dante used a masterful display of skill to cause the brains inside the head of each guard to rattle. The force caused their brains to jolt forward and hit the front of their skull instantly knocking them out in the process.
The only reason Dante even bothered to spare their life was because they were hesitant to attack Dante and it was only under the firm orders of their young master that they even made a move.
But for the supposed young master that instructed these actions, Dante wouldn't be so lenient.
Ignoring the knocked out guards beside him, Dante slowly approached the young master who started all this
"Wait! Stop approaching me, let's talk this out!"
Seeing the dire situation, the young man knew his only option was to try and resolve the issue with Dante.
but unfortunately for the young man, his pleas just went in one ear and out the other.
"What's the saying again... An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
You wanted to cripple me so I think it's only fair you get a taste of your own medicine."
As Dante spoke a slight smile appeared on his face. The only thing was for the young man in front of him, the smile on Dante's face seemed to be more twisted and horrifying than anything he had ever seen in his life!
It was at that moment that he knew that any chance of reasoning with Dante had gone out the window, he had to resort to his last chance if he even wanted the slightest chance of surviving.
making threats!
"If you hurt me you'll regret it!"
"Oh really?"
hearing the young man's threats Dante honestly couldn't care less but the young man seemed to take Dantes words as some type of hesitation
"You won't be able to see tomorrow if you hurt me! I'm Grant Baleview, son of the Belleview Clan! Touch me and You-"
Before Grant could even finish his sentence, Dante flashed in front of him with his fist glowing in silver light.
"Boom!"
Grant's body folded from the impact of Dantes attack but the actual effects of Dantes move went even deeper than that.
The energy that coated Dante's fist flowed into Grant's body and like a malicious virus, penetrated his veins flowing into his Dantian and shattering it in the process.
crawling up from the floor Grant glared at Dante in utter disbelief
"You... What have you done!"
But before Grant could react any further the after-effects of a shattered Dantian caught up with him causing him to puke a mouthful of blood, instantly passing out.
"Thud!"
Grant's motionless body hit the floor face first falling into a puddle of his own blood.
Dante watched this scene with a cold gaze before turning towards the store clerk.
"Carry on packaging the armour, I'm ready to pay for it right now."
