The thought of it caused Haymitch's tone to turn sour. He looked at Fade and said, "Kid, I didn't do anything to you because of Edgar. Don't be an ungrateful b*stard and try to get more than you deserve!"
When Edgar heard this, he immediately looked embarrassed. He quickly went over to Haymitch and began to comfort him, "Young Master Haymitch, don't be angry. This was just an accident and no one expected for such a thing to happen. Let me tell Fade and everything will be fine."
Edgar's words gave Haymitch a way to step down and subtly resolve the situation.
"You got lucky!" Haymitch snorted, then turned around to leave, the group of people behind him following him closely like chicks following a hen.
Seeing this, Edgar could not help but let out a sigh of relief. He turned around and saw Fade who was ready to chase after him. Immediately, Edgar rushed over to grab him and say, "Don't be impulsive. If you offend Haymitch, you won't end up well either way."
"Offend?" Fade questioned coldly, "I'm not the one offending here. To be clear, he was the one who almost killed me, was he not? Not even a word of apology, does that mean that I'm supposed to bow down to him just like that?"
Edgar was at a loss for words and he tried to calm Fade down, "I, I didn't mean that. It's just that Young Master Haymitch is no ordinary person. You can't win against him."
Fade remarked coldly with determination, "Who knows. If we never try, we'll never know."
With that, Fade shook free of Edgar's grasp and walked towards them.
Seeing this, Edgar hurried and caught up with him before admitting, "Fade, I'll just tell you the truth. The gap between your status and ours is just too big. We are not of the same level at all. It's impossible for you to retaliate here because nothing can come of it."
"Oh really?" Fade sneered, then picked up the bow and arrow which Haymitch had left behind. He positioned himself and drew the bow and arrow, aiming in the direction which Haymitch and the others had left.
Upon seeing this, Edgar turned pale with fright and dashed towards Fade.
After all, Haymitch and the others were walking together at this moment. If Fade were to shoot at any one of them, it would be equally troublesome.
"Fade, don't be impulsive. Put down the arrow." Edgar yelled in a hurry.
Fade said, "Don't worry. This was my own idea. It has nothing to do with you, so I won't get you into trouble."
With that, Fade stamped his foot and released a blast of energy which sent Edgar sprawling on the ground.
In the interval, Fade narrowed his eyes to aim at Haymitch and the others and released the arrow towards them.
Instantaneously, the sound of the arrow whizzing in the air could be heard as it shot towards Haymitch with great momentum.
Haymitch and the others had no idea and were chatting away happily as usual. Suddenly, they heard a sharp whistling sound behind them, and could not help but turn around curiously.
They witnessed Fade release the arrow in a swift motion, and could only watch as the sharp arrow headed towards their way. They were all dumbstruck as they witnessed the scene in disbelief.
Then, they tried to escape from the arrow and scampered around like mice, terror filing their gazes.
However, Fade's arrow was so fast that it was already in front of them in a blink. It glided past Haymitch's head accurately.
The lingering force of the wind that accompanied the arrow was as sharp as a knife. Haymitch could feel it scraping past his scalp, as though it had peeled away the skin from the top of his head along with it.
Then, with a loud thump, the sharp arrow was nailed firmly onto a wooden pillar on the side of the road. The gleaming tip of the arrow was no longer seen as it was buried deep into the wood, only a small bunch of black hair barely visible.
Seeing this, Haymitch could not help himself but attempt to feel the top of his head just to check if it was still intact. His head was still in one piece, but he could feel an unusual bald spot on the crown of his head. His eyes widened as he furiously fished for a mirror. Upon seeing his reflection, he was in disbelief as he saw that the arrow had cleanly shaved through his beloved hair, leaving what looked like an ugly gutter behind.
