Shock was evident in both Stacy's and Sexton's eyes, but Austin seemed to have ignored it. He just swaggered to them with a wicked smile on his face.
"Hey, guys! Nice day isn't it?"
He even greeted them as if he was talking with some neighbors. It was like he wasn't getting into the middle of a fight at all.
Whether the prey or the predator, both Stacy and Sexton were staring at Austin. They gave him a careful and measuring look while analyzing his level.
Soon enough, Sexton's lips twisted downward when he found that Austin was merely at the Semi-holy Realm. He couldn't help but frown when he found out how low this guy was.
'Ah…a Semi-holy insect, ' he thought with contempt. Knowing this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As a warrior at the premium stage of Emperor Realm, Sexton couldn't take a Semi-holy one more lightly.
He had long gotten used to the pleasure of receiving flattery from warriors of lower levels. In his past experiences, these Semi-holy Realm insects would always pay him respects. They were all smiles and bows to him. They even knelt before him and licked his feet. Austin should be no exception.
So even though he was already badly wounded, he still looked down upon a low-level warrior like Austin. He still despised him from the bottom of his heart. They were nothing but low life insects that cowered from powerful ones like him.
"Oh, here you are!
You know, I thought that you would never show up and planned to see our show as you hid in the shadows,"
Sexton said to Austin after casting him a glance. His voice was dripping with sarcasm. There was a faint smile on his face which further showed his disdain and confidence. Austin said nothing in return and just smiled back at him.
"I will tell you what. You are in luck today, boy. I am Sexton, from the Dark Night Sect. My father is the law-enforcing elder there. I bet you have already heard my name, haven't you?" Sexton continued with the same confident and prideful smile.
"So you know what you have to do? Do everything as I say, and you will be one of us. Once you become one of my men and follow me wholeheartedly, you can be sure that you will have almost everything you want, fame, wealth, status, resources, anything!" Sexton offered his olive branch.
"Now, I'm ordering you to make that bitch over there take this bottle of Love-philter Powder. Make her swallow all of it. I would like to see if her Spiritual Sense Enhancing Elixir could still resist the double dose of this drug and my charm together," he then commanded in a low and hoarse voice.
"And her Space Ring, bring it to me, too!"
As Sexton spoke in a firm and authoritative voice, he pulled a little jade bottle out and threw it to Austin's feet. Then, he looked back at Stacy with a vicious smile.
It seemed that Sexton had assumed that Austin would just obediently listen to him. He had been all patronizing and condescending towards the young lad from the very beginning. He must have thought that his name alone was enough to shock Austin into blind obedience. What was more was that he had promised many gifts and benefits to him. Could any Semi-holy Realm insect resist a temptation like this? At least he didn't think so. So he would expect that Austin would just obey him with ecstasy and did anything he asked with gratitude.
"What?"
