Hmm! Austin Lin, do you think that the five of us are here by accident?
one of the inner disciples said coldly and arrogantly while his eyes were fixed at Austin.
"Ha ha! You must be kidding, right? This is a quiet and lonely place to be and only a few people come here. Why would I think the five of you are here accidentally? I am not so naive.
Actually I knew that you were coming for me. Johnson, Steward Su has sent you to find and capture me. Am I right?" Austin asked with a smile.
"What?" the inner disciples had not expected this answer and looked at each other, confused about how Austin knew their intentions.
"How do you know that the five of us have been sent by Steward Su and that we are here to catch you?"
"Why don't you attempt to run away?" another inner disciple asked, totally puzzled by the calmness on Austin's face.
The faces of the five inner disciples had expressions of shock and astonishment. They were unable to understand how Austin was so relaxed while he stood before them. He showed no fear and no regret!
"Run away? Why should I run away? After seeing the five of you here, I am overjoyed. How can I run away? " Austin retorted.
"What are you talking about? You know we are here to capture you, still you are happy to see us? Are you insane?"
The five inner disciples were stunned by each word that Austin spoke. 'What was wrong with this guy?' they wondered.
"Isaac, I think Austin has realized that he will not be able to escape from Steward Su after killing Marvin. The pressure and fear, the distress and terror have made him go crazy. I think, he has become deranged.
I have heard people say that Austin had been a fool for three years. No one knows how he recovered.
So, according to me, he has lost his mind again and has become crazy again. Considering his state of mind, he can do such an unreasonable thing," another inner disciple made his assumptions aloud.
Hearing the inner disciple talk in such derogatory manner, Austin got furious. He couldn't stop himself. "The crazy person present here is no one else, but you! You are really an idiot! All of you are!"
He shouted at them with fierceness they had never seen.
"Don't talk too much. I challenge you all. I challenge any one of you to come forward and hit me on my body. Spare no effort in doing that. Put in all your strength," Austin rebuked them.
He took a step ahead and put both his two hands behind his back, exposing his body to the five inner disciples. He nodded at them to signal that they could start hitting him. His hands were at the back and he wasn't going to stop them from attacking him.
