Blood Assimilation

Chapter 8 - Just Wait For Me



"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!" Randy screamed so loud as if he wanted to cough up his throat. After the impact of Peter's attack, he felt his shoulder bone break, causing an immense pain to wash over his entire body.

Even though he was unscathed when he was in the training room a while ago, it did not mean that he completely unscathed. When he finished his training session, he could tell that his bones had weakened a lot from the pressure. That was the reason why he said that he would not do this so often as he needed a resting time for his bones to fully heal. When they heal though, they would become stronger than before, but now, he did not even have the chance to heal his bones and Peter landed his fist on his scapula. He could feel that the bones in his right shoulder got crushed from the attack just now.

"What the fuck! What the fuck! Didn't I tell you to hold back?!" John frantically said when he saw the scene in from of him. They were only supposed to inflict flesh damage, not break the bones of their victims.

"I don't know, I actually held back just now. Perhaps, he was weaker than you all claimed? I only wanted to torture him a little bit by dislocating his shoulder, but who would've thought that it would break so easily with his high basic statistics data." Peter scratched the back of his head innocently with an awkward smile on his face as he spoke.

John was exasperated as he spoke to Peter, "What the fuck do you mean that he was weaker than we claimed?! Shit! Hey Amanda, hurry up and heal him!"

However, at this moment, Amanda was frozen on the spot when she saw the scene as they never had to go this far before. She was shaking on the spot. She only did this for the money, but eventually, she started having nightmares of the victims since she was the one who always healed their wounded bodies— Which sometimes are hard to look at. Their flesh would be showing whenever they get beaten by Peter, who was aggressive with the victims, but never had he broken their bones before.

"Hey! Amanda! Can you not hear me?!" John screamed at the girl when she did not respond.

She subconsciously looked at John who had a frown on his face and said in a trembling voice. "W-What?"

John was annoyed this time and he said to her again. "I said fucking heal Randy or else it would be too late to fix his bones!"

Amanda flinched upon hearing John's furious voice, but she replied instantly albeit in a shaking tone, "O-Okay… "

Amanda scurried towards Randy, who was about three meters away from her. Randy who was still screaming from the pain was let go off by the student who was holding his hand behind his back. At this moment, his shoulder was crushed from the punch just now. If it is not healed right away and the blood clot around the wound, it would be too late to heal it with simple healing magic.

"What is fuck is going on?!" Jeremiah came into the barrier when he saw that everyone stopped beating Randy and was shouting around. Although, he could not hear what they were saying, but he knew that something was going on when he saw John yelling at Peter albeit in a muted voice to him. He was annoyed that his 'silence movie' was suddenly interrupted when the 'action figures' stopped acting their parts.

John hurriedly replied when he noticed that Jeremiah was screaming behind as he approaches their location. "B-Brother Zhang! The thing is… Peter accidentally broke Randy's scapula bone on his shoulder."

At this, Peter tried to explain himself, "Like I said, I did not use that much strength. I only have 100 points in my physical strength category and with the enhancement from my vital energy, it is at most twice my current strength which would be 200 points, the same amount that this loser has. So how could I know that he would break so easily?"

"Tsk… So useless. You only had to beat him up until he would not have any shred of intention of seeing Emilia again. But what? You had to go overboard and break his bone." Jeremiah glared at Peter as he said.

Peter only lowered his head at this. He thought he could let loose on the infamous strongest normal human, but it turned out, this fellow was not as strong as they say. And now, he risks losing his only shot at making it into a top university.

John did not say anything at this moment. But then, he recalled what Randy said a while before he started punching him. That, he was tired from doing some training. He wondered what sort of 'intense' training he did for his bones and body to be so worn out like this. After all, what Peter said made sense. How is it possible for Randy who was renowned for his raw physical strength, to be this weak? There is definitely something wrong with this guy today.

John opened his mouth to say something, but Jeremiah raised his hand and he shut his mouth upon seeing Jeremiah's attitude.

Jeremiah approached Randy who was currently being healed by Amanda. There was an indiscernible frown on his face. One could not tell whether he was angry at Peter for causing this mess or something entirely was going on in his twisted mind at this moment.

Jeremiah reached the two of them and said to Amanda. "Move away!"

"But…" Amanda tried to say something but was cut in mid-sentence.

"I said move!!" Jeremiah was enraged as he shouted at Amanda with a furious expression.

Amanda was startled briefly, but she quickly moved out of the way. She did not want to get on this young master's bad side.

When Amanda moved away from Randy, Jeremiah approached him with a sinister grin on his face. He proceeded to look at the Randy who was panting and letting out occasional groan from the intense pain from his shoulder.

After a few moments later, Jeremiah spoke while still looking at Randy. "How is it? Do you like my present?"

"…" Randy did not say anything as he looked intently at Jeremiah with an indescribable feeling welling up in his chest.

"Hah! What's with that look? Do you hate me? Do you loathe me? You should because it is not over yet." Jeremiah let out a scoff as he looked at Randy's expression that left him feeling slightly annoyed.

And then he continued, "This is just beginning! Hahaha!!"

The moment Jeremiah said that he bent over with flames surrounding his hand. He looked at the burning flames with a delighted expression as if he was entranced by the destructive property of the fire attribute ability of his. A few moments later, he suddenly pressed his burning hands at the defenseless Randy. Randy could only watch on as the flames touch his face, burning the flesh on his face instantly.

Siss—

The burning sound of flesh resounded in the barrier.

"Gahhhh!!!!" Randy let out a sharp pained screech as he felt his face burning from the heat of the flames on his face. Randy wanted to wail around due to the pain, but alas, his body could not move much, so he endured the pain and then proceeded to use his left hand to put out the flame made through magic. After the flame was extinguished from the right side of his face resulting in a burned left hand, the naked flesh of his face was exposed with his red muscles showing. Due to the source of the flame being mana, and not a natural flame, it continues to burn unless one put it out themselves.

"Hahahaha!!!!"

Jeremiah maniacally laughed as he watched the agonized Randy and then said, "How is it? Would you get in my way again? Huh? Say something? How does it feel to have your flesh melt right from your face, huh?"

Hahahahhahahahahaha!!

The laughter of a maniac reverberated clearly throughout the barrier. And the residents of the barrier where shaking in their boots from fear.

'How could he be so cruel?' They all thought with cold sweats dripping down their backs.

A few moments later, the healer, Amanda could not take it anymore and suddenly said loudly, "Jeremiah! Stop! Are you trying burn his face off! If I don't begin healing him right now, it would be fatal!!"

"Shut up! You wench!! You only have one job, and you don't get to question my actions." Jeremiah coldly said to the girl.

And then he continued, "Don't tell you also have an interest in this trash?!"

At this, Amanda was stunned for a moment before hurriedly replying, "O-Of course not! I am just suggesting since I am the healer, and it is my job to heal people."

Jeremiah narrowed his eyes at her for a moment and then he said, "Fine, come heal him. This should be enough as a warning anyway. If he dares to approach Emilia again then he cannot blame me for the subsequent outcome."

Hearing this, Amanda let out a sigh of relief under her breath. She immediately scurried towards them, and after reaching them, she began healing Randy. After the injuries on Randy's face started to close. She saw a frightening look on Randy's face. It was that of animosity, hatred, anger, and killing intent all at the same time. At this moment, Randy was filled with an indescribable emotion as he stared at the figure walking away. When Amanda saw this, she knew that if this guy ever awakens his ability someday. He would definitely seek revenge and so, she tried to explain herself.

"I was only doing my job to heal people! I am sorry that you had to go through this, but I needed the money, so I had no choice but to participate in this." She said softly in a mumbled tone, but just enough so that Randy could hear her.

At this, Randy only coldly looked at her with his rolled eyes and did not say anything, but he still had the same expression of hatred on his face.

Amanda flinched when she met his gaze and she quickly looked away as she continued to heal him.

A few minutes later, after almost exhausting her mana pool, she finally finished healing Randy's wounds on his face. The wound on his shoulder could not be healed completely since she was interrupted earlier when Jeremiah told her to move.

"It's done. You have to go see a doctor to further treat the broken scapula." Amanda said as she walked away with a scared expression. She could not forget that look on Randy's face at the moment that they made eye contact just a while ago.

"Portia, I am leaving now." Amanda said to the other girl before walking toward the entrance of the building in hurried steps like a scared cat.

The barrier user, Portia glared at her figure leaving before glancing at Randy's figure with disdain. She did not care about losers like him at all. He could die for all she cares.

A few moments later, Jeremiah spoke to his goons, "Let's go. You all did well."

Hearing this, they all let out a relieved sigh, especially Peter was glad that Jeremiah Zhang was not still angry about his actions.

And then he turned towards Randy's figure that was kneeing on the ground and then said coldly with an indifferent tone, "You better remember the 'gift' today, otherwise, next time, you might not be so lucky. Hmph!"

After saying this, Jeremiah turned around and then left the abandoned building with his goons.

Randy watched as Jeremiah led the way and his goons followed after him shortly after. As he did, there was an intense hatred boiling in his heart and blood as he solemnly swore to himself.

'I will definitely get my revenge someday. Just wait for me, I will let you experience what I did today a hundred-fold…'
