Chapter 169 - Stomp on the Face
Draven’s speech, if you could rate its shock value on a scale of ten, would reach one hundred points. Rating it by the normal standard would clearly be taking it far too lightly.
Even someone as powerful and experienced as Zero couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard it. Was this really something a human could say? Was Draven really not afraid that everyone would gang up on him?
Everyone in the square was stunned for a few seconds. It wasn’t that they didn’t understand human language, but rather because no matter how they looked at it, Draven’s words sounded completely ridiculous.
There were easily several thousand women here, and an academic year obviously wasn’t three hundred and sixty-five days because of the holidays. A simple calculation could immediately show that Draven would have to sleep with many different women every day to accomplish that insane feat.
Did this make sense? The women here were either from rich families or had outstanding abilities. There was no way they would lower their own worth to this level just because Draven was an S-rank hunter.
Draven looked a little shameless, but he was very handsome. On top of that, he was both strong and rich, but even that still wasn’t enough. And there were also quite a few couples here.
But it had to be said that Draven was really willing to go all out. For the development of the Gold guild, he had even sold his own body already.
If this went viral all over the world, Draven would probably feel embarrassed, but as long as he was shameless enough, he wouldn’t feel uncomfortable anymore.
Before the crowd could even get angry, they saw a black figure appear, kicking Draven in the head. His black robe fluttered in the air, and strands of black hair flew even though there wasn’t even any wind.
Just looking at his back was enough for everyone to feel the overwhelming aura of the great cultivator from Nexus, while he couldn’t be bothered to use spiritual qi to create any effect.
Draven reacted immediately, but suddenly he felt his muscles become completely powerless. As an S-rank hunter, Draven could only helplessly fall backward, allowing Nexus’s foot to freely stomp on his face.
"Mortal, just based on you, you think you can sleep with my little angel?"
Nexus smiled without smiling. Before he even had the chance to show off, someone dared to outdo him, which made him extremely unhappy.
He knew that Draven had only been talking nonsense just now to make an impression on everyone. For someone as busy as Draven, a few hundred women a year was already too many, let alone thousands.
Lailah was sucking on a lollipop when she noticed Nexus had disappeared. The distance was too far, so she couldn’t see what was happening, and she didn’t need to see it anyway.
Nexus’s voice carried spiritual qi, so everyone could hear him even though he didn’t speak loudly.
Others would think Nexus was upset because someone wanted to sleep with his girlfriend, but Lailah understood his personality, so she didn’t care.
"Knew he wouldn’t just stand still in one place."
Lailah shook her head lightly but wasn’t annoyed. As long as he didn’t damage other people’s property, kill anyone, or steal anything, it was barely enough.
Was there any better way to show off than stepping on the face of an S-rank hunter like Draven while he didn’t dare to fight back? Other than showing off strength beyond the limits of humanity, there was no cooler way to do it.
All the students and teachers who witnessed this ridiculous scene had to widen their eyes. In all their years, they had never heard of an S-rank hunter obediently lying there and letting someone stomp on his face like this.
"Well, well, so you have such an elegant hobby. Lying on your back in front of thousands of people and staring at the sole of someone else’s foot really is something special."
Bell laughed at someone else’s misfortune. After all, the person helplessly lying under Nexus’s foot wasn’t him, so he could laugh all he wanted.
The entire square became strangely silent again. Now even the sound of every gust of wind could be heard extremely clearly.
"It’s... acting, right?"
Suddenly, someone muttered, making the others start thinking along the same lines. But the moment they thought about it, they felt that it didn’t make much sense.
"If you were told to act like this, would you be willing to?"
"Who would let someone else stomp on their face here just to act? Draven is the guildmaster of the Gold guild, not a comedian."
...
The more they looked, the more confused everyone became. They were unwilling to believe that an unknown person like Nexus actually had strength far beyond an S-rank hunter.
As for Draven, he just lay there. At first, he widened his eyes in surprise, but then he calmly analyzed the situation.
He didn’t even bother using his ability to turn into a dragon. The current situation was far too strange. His muscles were powerless, his body felt like it was being crushed by an entire mountain, yet the ground wasn’t damaged even in the slightest.
"I wasn’t even specifically looking at anyone just now. How would I know who your little angel is and target her?"
Draven curled the corner of his mouth into an extremely irritating smile. There was no fear in his eyes, only interest.
As humans, of course they weren’t going to kill each other at the slightest provocation. This was a more civilized era, and nobody here was killing anyone, so he didn’t need to worry.
"Hmph, just a mortal and you dare talk to me like this?"
Nexus glared. The pressure weighing down on Draven like a mountain suddenly surged. Draven couldn’t smile anymore. There was no fear in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth trembled uncontrollably.
"Looks like I underestimated you. But can you stop saying ’mortal’ every time you open your mouth? It really grates on anyone who hears it."
Even though he hadn’t used his full strength, let alone thrown a proper attack, Draven now understood that an SS-rank hunter was far too weak compared to Nexus.
He was still young and hadn’t seen the legendary SSS-rank hunter with his own eyes, so he couldn’t casually make a judgment.
