Dance With Darkness And Light - Chapter 11 A Fish Hunting A Flea Unaware Of The Hawk

Through the narration of the young boy, Bazuul found out that the boy was called Yao Ling and his sister Yao Yin. Their family previously owned a little shop – selling fruits and vegetables – but for the last couple of months, the henchman of Chief Thousand Flowers kept causing trouble.

Slowly business kept getting worse due to them, and after a while, there was essentially no business to speak of anymore.

One month ago, Chief Thousand Flowers’s henchman came back. This time acting like angels trying to help their family out in troubled times. They offered, that their beautiful mother could work at one of their establishments in order to make ends meet.

Both immediately declined. In a fit of rage, because he knew what their “work” meant, their father wanted to chase them out. The henchman, therefore, acted offended and attacked him, injuring him severely.
for visiting.

Then proceeded to take their mother away.

Life was hard for them this month, while Yao Ling tried to beg for money so he could buy medicine for the injuries their father had suffered. Their father would sadly succumb to his wounds one week later. Leaving these young children to fend for themselves in such a cold world, unaware of what horrors their mother was going through.

The boy kept explaining and choking up from time to time while his sister couldn’t help herself but cry the whole time.

“That’s enough!” Bazuul said in a soft but resolute tone while his eyebrows were furrowed and black lines formed on his forehead.

“Young master, can you ple” The young boy attempted to speak but was interrupted by Kadi.

“Your Highness, the fish has caught the flea”

Bazuul looked at Kadi and nodded then turned to face the children once more and said.

“I have to go now so stay here, things will get chaotic in the city soon” He said and proceeded to walk toward Kadi as he asked. “What is your mother’s name?”

“Her name is Yao Yu Yan, sir!” He shouted toward Bazuul.

Bazuul and Kadi then slowly followed the henchman that led Aran to their base, or so Bazuul hoped. Eventually, Aran and the henchman entered a building. It was unknown if this was their headquarters, but the trap had worked just as expected. In Bazuul’s mind where else would they lead the old right hand of their leader?

“Remember don’t kill too many of them, we will need information from them… also, I feel like slaughtering a lot of pigs myself today. Do not dare to prey on my food!!!” Bazuul ordered Kadi with a dark expression.

Kadi simply nodded at this with a wry expression.

His young master’s behavior was changing by the day, just like his skills and battle prowess. For better or worse, only time would be able to tell.

~~~

“Boss, we got him!” said a henchman that had way too many muscles for him to be able to move normally.

Inside this room sat a man behind a desk with a woman on his lap, and his hands seemingly fondling many places at once, reacted to it. As he lifted the uncommonly cut straw-hat adorned with a band of flowers around it on his head, he saw that his former right-hand man was standing before him.

He frowned while twisting his blonde mustache and shot a cold gaze toward that buff henchman of his.

“And you bring him here? What if this was a trap? Have you been followed?” He roared as he threw the woman on his lap away and stood up.

“Uh..u” The muscle-head stuttered for a moment as a glinting light flashed through the air. A dull sound was heard and the henchman fell to his knees, his face still in shock and his eyes looking toward the knife that suddenly stuck in his forehead.

He then fell face first and was dead, he repeated the same action for Aran, leaving the woman that just recovered screaming and in shock.

A laughter could be heard but Chief Thousand Flowers was not able to pinpoint its direction.

“Who the hell dares to” BANG!! And the door at the entrance came flying toward him.

“A piece of shit like you should shut its mouth when I’m being so gracious as to relieve you of your pitiful life! You disgusting, low-life, parasites!”

A young but vicious voice entered the room, as two different sets of steps could be heard entering alongside that voice.

As the dust settled and Bazuul and Kadi became visible to the entourage and Thousand Flowers, his face darkened. It was exactly as he feared when he first saw Aran return. It was a trap set up by this pampered prince. But after a moment a feeling of delight hit him, they actually dared to enter his den with only two men, TWO for heaven’s sake.

Bazuul looked around, apart from Chief Thousand Flowers there were about forty henchmen in this building. He chuckled darkly and said “Now come on little puppies, let’s take a walk, time to dieee~”

“Kadi, you hold off Chief Piece of Shit for the time being!” Bazuul ordered.

“Of course, young master!” He answered.

Chief Thousand Flowers, though angered by the insults thrown at him, could not help but roar with laughter.

“Look at them boys, hahaha, one kid and a knight against all of us! Isn’t that funny? Hahaha.”

His henchmen also wore ridiculous faces filled with mocking laughter that was about to break out. Looking at the both of them as if they would eat them up any minute.

They saw the young prince starting to strongly inhale. Almost as if he had a panic attack, as if the reality of his situation just hit him. They couldn’t help but break out in laughter.

Suddenly a sort of gurgling noise came from the mouth of the prince, when all of a sudden – ptui – a huge ball of spit arched across the room and landed straight on Chief Thousand Flowers face.

Silence. Where laughter roared, jeers and sneers, mocking the prince of the kingdom filled the room a moment ago, utter silence was all that prevailed.

“Headshot” Bazuul said as he made an unfamiliar motion with his hand.

“Now let’s get out of here and settle this pr” Bazuul said, as he was interrupted by an ear-piercing roar.

“You disgusting little punk! I will twist your neck personally” He screamed and then dashed forward toward the prince, ripping the wooden table in front of him in two halves.

His aura expanded as he drew closer to his target, his fist already launching, in order to make this brat spill his guts before he would slowly twist his neck.

All of a sudden, a figure appeared before the prince and a strong hand wrapped itself around his fist, successfully stopping his attack.

BOOM

Yet the force exerted still ripped a huge hole into the wall where the entrance door once was.

“How cute, an origin realm expert just as yourself Kadi, enjoy yourself for the time being. All you other little faggots, follow me if you dare!” Bazuul hollered and dashed out of the building into the open.

Many henchmen followed after realizing what the boy had called them, wanting to teach this one a lesson. Roaring as they ran out, before one of theirs, for seemingly no reason at all, fell to the ground.

They stopped and looked in shock, one of them called out to their fallen brother. He soon realized that there was a tiny opening in his back, and from underneath, a pool of blood slowly formed on the floor.
