The Modern Immortal

Compromise

The demonic image of Daemon deeply imprinted into their minds for today onwards they would have nightmare of him beating them, if they get out of here alive. Seeing the situation the chances are very low.

“5 minutes has passed, you still haven’t called for backup, it seems like you do not want to go back” As the bullies looked at the trash bin abstractedly, the sound of hell breaking loose suddenly screamed into their ears, instantly waking them up.

Two of the bullies were timid. They fell on the ground when they heard Daemon’ voice. The others were also shaking. The eyes looking to Daemon were full of fear and horror.

“Everyone should pay for their own mistakes. Since you do not need help, then you all can stay in the trash bin with Spencer.” When Spencer no longer made any noise and had no sign of fighting back, Daemon wrinkled his brow. He then grabbed the feet of Spencer and dragged him out of the trash bin.

Daemon ignored the other bullies pleas and proceeded to kick the Red haired bully into the trash bin.

The Red haired bully’s hands were not broken. He struggled to climb out from the trash bin when he was pushed into it.

Red Hair had no time to breathe. He heard a sharp piercing sound and then felt a sharp pain in his hands. His hands ceased to function as they were pierced.

The Red haired bully watched Daemon in fear, realising that Daemon was Sing back.

At the critical moment, Daemon pierced the Red haired bully’s arm with two chopsticks.

Not waiting to hear the Red haired bully’s screams of pain, Daemon kicked him back into the trash bin.

This time, he did not attempt to get out since he did not have the strength to get out.

Watching the Red haired bully twitching in the trash can and Spencer who was lying on the ground motionless, the other five bullies lost all hope. They never imagined that Spencer and the Red hair would have been beaten up this badly today.

Thinking that the fate of Spencer and the Red hair would be theirs soon, the other five bullies collapsed in prostration. After they exchanged glances, they did not hesitate to kneel in front of the Daemon.

“Daemon……Daemon, you cannot blame all of us. Someone else gave us money to only attack your restaurant.”

“Brother Daemon, we were here by the order of others. You have scolded and beaten us, please forgive us. We are just the bottom of the barrel and sometimes we are forced to do these actions.”

“Brother Daemon, although we did ransack your restaurant, we swear to God we never hit your mother, we haven’t even touched her. Only Spencer and Red hair are extremely cruel and merciless, the others just for backup.”

When the first person asked for mercy, the few other people spilled out their beans and spoke out their difficulties.

The bullies looked much older than him, but called him brother. This felt slightly weird for Daemon.

However, of the thousand years inside the immortal world, Daemon had come across more ridiculous things, so it didn’t really shock him when they mentioned it.

Everyone has their own way of survival. The people who are the high rollers of society have their own way and so do the people who were living as the scum of society.

Several people were crying and begging. However, they did not forget to secretly look at Daemon and observe his reactions.

When these bullies realised it was useless for them to flatter and respect Daemon, The status of Daemon in their hearts increased, whilst becoming very mysterious.

Because according to their survey, Daemon was just an ordinary high school student in S City coming from a remote rural town, he even had a car accident.

But from what happened today, the information provided was vastly different than reality.

After a long silence, the bullies continued to watch Daemon in fear. Daemon snapped, “Who bribed you to sack our restaurant?! Tell me everything you know about that person, maybe I will let you guys live if you tell me everything.

Daemon originally wanted to end the bullies’ lives.

Just looking at the mother in his arms, Daemon hesitated. It was not difficult to murder someone, but the aftermath was a big problem.

If his mother was not here, Daemon wouldn’t hesitate to kill, as he did not have to worry about any repercussions.

With these fetters in his mind, Daemon wouldn’t dare kill people recklessly like in the immortal world.

What the bullies said had evoked Daemon’s sympathy.

Although these poor people must have been hateful, they only smashed things in the restaurant, they did not beat his mother. They did not deserve to die, regardless it seemed that there was someone pulling the strings.

“Brother Daemon, it was a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses, he paid us money to harass you, but only Spencer talked with him, we do not know the true identity of the sunglasses man.” Said one on the bullies. This topic in particular successfully attracted Daemon’s attention.

“I do not know the identity of sunglasses, but I happened to hear a conversation between, sunglasses man and Spencer. Sunglasses man seemed to hate Brother Daemon a lot, the purpose of harassing the restaurant was to infuriate you and then to kill you. He even offered a price…” Another bully did not hesitate as he was speaking, but his voice became softer and softer as he was speaking.

“Alex, Jack Sully, if you want to die right now, just say it. I promise I will make it quick!” Spencer’s voice unexpectedly came up in the house.

Spencer did not know when the best time to wake up was. He stared at the two bullies with threatening eyes. That was why Jack Sully did not continue to speak.

Realising that Spencer would still be trying to cause troubles at this time caused Daemon to feel nauseous.

In the next moment, the Red haired bully was dragged out from the trash bin and Spencer was thrown back into the trash bin by Daemon.

Right now, the Red hair bully was unconscious, lying on the ground foaming out the mouth and the nose.

“Jack Sully, continue.” Daemon wiped his hands with a piece of cloth.

Jack Sully glanced at Spencer who was flailing about in the trash bin, then looked at the Red hair who was bubbling in his mouth. He swallowed hard and stammered gradually.

“Daemon…Brother Daemon, that sunglasses man said… if we cut off your hands, he will add 100 thousand dollars. If we cut off your legs, he would add 200 thousand dollars… This is what Spencer promised.” Jack Sully said with difficulty.

After hearing what Jack Sully had to say, Daemon could not help to frown. He really could not figure out who hated him so much, to the point where he wanted to cut off Daemon’s hands and feet.

Staring at Jack Sully for a moment Daemon confirmed that he did not lie. Daemon then kicked down the trash bin, so that Spencer had the opportunity to breathe fresh air once again.

“Who ordered you to attack me? Say it. I will make it quick for you” Daemon snapped at Spencer whilst kicking him harshly.

Spencer seemed to be in a semi-conscious state, his eyes stirred, but he did not answer Daemon.

Daemon was not anxious. He glanced at the kitchen, and saw a steaming stove pot. He went to pick up the pot with a wide grin. Soon boiling water poured down on Spencer.

As the boiling water was poured on him, Spencer fiercely twitched up with resounding screams of pain.

“Who told you to attack me? Say it. I won't ask another time” Finding Spencer finally became fully conscious, Daemon continued to ask.

Spencer hatefully looked at Daemon. He would have liked to say a few words out of spite, but thought of the result from his previous experience. He had to swallow what he wanted to say.

Spencer had made a living in the underworld for more than 20 years and he had worked with all kinds of people, but he had never met a person as cold blooded as Daemon.

Spencer knew that if he was ignorant about the current state of affairs, Daemon would murder him.

Spencer felt extremely depressed because a high school student was forcing him to admit his mistakes.

“Still keeping quiet? Then you never speak again!” A pot of boiling water was poured to Spencer while he wasn’t thinking.

“I’ll talk… I’ll talk… ” Watching the cold and uncaring eyes of Daemon, Spencer was thoroughly awake. He was crying for forgiveness while he was writhing in pain.

We need to say that human potential is infinite. Even if Spencer was seriously injured, he dodged the boiling water to avoid the fate of being scalded at a critical moment, but some boiling water still splashed on him, injuring him slightly.

“The sunglasses man is Steve Raaski, the sales manager of the Wydome Real Estate Company. It seems that you have offended his boss, and brought shame onto him, so the person who wants to deal with you is Steve’s boss.” Spencer was afraid that Daemon would continue to torture him if he spoke slowly. Therefore, he told all the information he knew to Daemon.

“Wydome Real Estate Company?” Daemon had doubts in his mind. When his guess was confirmed, he could not help being angry, outrage burst from his mind.

Because of a variety of high-profile and show-off behaviours of their family, Daemon naturally knew who was the boss of the Wydome Real Estate.

The company is branch of Wydome group and of course the person whose behind today's incident is definitely Marcus Wydome but how I didn't even encounter with that guy, why is he causing problems for me, is it because of Jane but she don't even like yet, we are just friends right now. Our relationship started in college so why is that bastard targeting me now without any reason. For whatever reason he is targeting me it doesn't matter, he will pay for it.

“Marcus, you will pay for your ruthlessness” Daemon said as he looked in the direction of the Wydome Real Estate Building, Daemon started to have murderous intent raised up from within his heart. It was the first time he had this intention

Daemon was so agitated he actually forgot about Spencer.

The bullies were afraid of Daemon and did not dare make a move while Daemon was lost in a state of mind, after all , they got beaten by Daemon more than once.

“Daemon……. Brother Daemon, these are the only things that have. If not enough, we will try our best to get you more.” as Daemon pondered on how to deal with this situation whilst also not making his mother sad, a weak voice was sounded in his ears.

Hearing the voice of Jack Sully, Daemon just noted that there were several people still waiting on what he was going to say next.

Jack Sully was holding a stack of cash, jewellery and a bank card as well.

The cash was worth about fifty to sixty thousand, the value of the jewellery was ignored by Daemon however, instead the gold bank card caught Daemon’s attention.

“You think this is enough compensation?” Daemon did not reach out for the money Jack Sully was holding, but instead sneered at him.

What Daemon said suddenly made Black feel gloomy. At that moment, Spencer felt regretful for what he had done.

He looked at the restaurant he had smashed up, Spencer knew that the money he brought out wasn’t enough.

“In three days, I would like to see a brand new restaurant, or there will be consequences.” Daemon coldly glanced at the bullies and then walked out of the kitchen with his mother. They finally left the restaurant.

The kitchen was too dirty and smelly. After staying in the kitchen for a long time, Daemon had reached the limit of bearing the smell, as he had a slight cleanness. He really did not want to enter with them, so he decisively left.

After a long time after Daemon left, Spencer and other people recovered.

“Did the demon leave?”

“He should have. If he hadn't left, I would have broken down!”

“Good, the demon is too scary, I don’t want to meet with him again.”

Confirming Daemon had left, Spencer and the others cried with joy and felt relaxed. Everyone smiled and sat on the ground, completely ignoring the dirt on the ground.

“Jack Sully, just now you were saying something, you actually wanted to betray me?” Spencer said to Jack Sully who was really nervous.

Jack Sully lowered his head and his emotions were volatile. After a long while, his eyes flashed a firm look and said, “Spencer, you have controlled this area over twenty years, however it is about time to retire.”

“You!” Spencer did not expect that Jack Sully would dare to challenge him without Daemon. He frowned and then wanted to scold Jack Sully, but just as he was about to speak, he found the atmosphere was a bit abnormal.

Besides the Red hair, the other five bullies stood around Jack Sully. They all looked at Black with aggressive emotion.

“ Brother Spencer, thank you for sheltering us in our most helpless time and giving us meals. We did so much for you, it was enough to repay your kindness. But we do not want to continue to follow you, because you are too cruel, too selfish and there is no bottom line at all. ” Jack Sully said word by word.

“Even, we are just making a living in the underworld, we still need to follow the rules. But you never follow the rules. Those are not what we want.” Jack Sully put all the money, jewellery and bank card into his own pocket, said solemnly, “from now on, I don’t want to see you again in the Blue Star District Area, behave yourself.”

After saying the words, Jack Sully left the restaurant.

“Spencer, You cannot resent us, just blame yourself for your own unreasonable and selfish.”

“Spencer, you’d better not wish to take back the leadership. In these two years, when you had fun all the time and regarded us as coolies, Jack Sully got the recognition of everyone long before.”

If Daemon’s attack on Spencer was only physical, then the strike by the bullies was at a psychological level.

As the bullies left one by one, only the Red hair stayed as he did not know what to do. Spencer seemed soulless, sitting in the kitchen motionless.
