Chapter 286: He changed?
Just before the guards touched him Jayden looked up at them and asked:
" And how are you all so sure that he isn't the one lying? "
Saying that he even showed his sect's Bracelet, which made all the guards to stop immediately.
They looked at it carefully and were stunned to see the expensive Bracelet that none of them could afford, any one who wears that bracelet is definitely rich and have a great background.
All the guards gulped down in fear and looked back at the accusing man with questioning eyes, they all just wanted to earn some quick cash by helping him in capturing Jayden and beating him up a bit, but they weren't aware of his background.
Even the big belly man was afraid as he looked at the Bracelet, but trying to stay optimistic he spoke:
" M- Maybe he stole that too, with how he is looking right I don't believe he is someone rich. "
And hearing his words, all the guards get a little bit of their confidence back as one of them again walked towards him and asked:
" Can you show us your identity? "
This time he was asking respectfully since if there was even a little bit of chance that Jayden was telling the truth then offending him might cause them to lose their lives.
Jayden sighed, he raised his right hand again and showed his details through the bracelet, after making sure that the identity was Jayden's, all the guards placed their swords back and spoke to Jayden in respect:
" Sorry sir, it seems this man is mistaken, we apologize for our rash behaviour just now, we will be leaving now- "
Just as one of them was apologising, they heard several murmurs from the crowd around:
" Why did that boy look so familiar? I think I have seen him somewhere, but where? I won't forget someone with that kind of look. "
One of the men from the crowd pondered. After a few minutes, a disciple spoke:
" I remember it now, I have seen him in the sect competition his name is Wang Jin, the son of the Matriarch. "
" Ah yeah, right I had seen him when Matriarch killed the vice leader of the Justice hall because he wanted to harm Wang Jin. " The first man added with astonishment.
Listening to these words all seven guards were now shaking in fear, and they instantly turned their faces towards the fat man who had given them this work saying that they just had to capture and beat up a junior disciple, but the fat man seemed just as stunned as they were.
He too was told that he had to deal with just a normal junior disciple and for doing that he had received quite a bit of money from Qiang, at that time he felt that something was wrong since Qiang gave him more money than he could have asked for, but not thinking too much about it because of his greed he accepted the mission but only now did he understood the danger of what they were about to do.
If Wang Jia knew about it, all of them would definitely be killed on the spot, their knees became weak as all eight men fell to the ground one after another, their faces find with despair.
" S- Sir, please forgive me I- I was wrong, it's all Qiang's fault he gave me money and a- asked me to cause trouble for you, p- please let me g- go, sob sob "
By the time he finished, he was already in tears, he hit his head on the ground repeatedly and even threw away the money he had received from Qiang as payment into Jayden's feet, pleading to spare his life.
Seeing this, all the guards aso began to beg in front of Jayden as the rest of the crowd watched all this in stunned silence. Jayden nodded and spoke:
" It's alright, all of you can leave. "
As if being provided by grace, all the guards and the fat man thanked Jayden profusely, and then they stood up and ran away, the crowd discussed all this with interest and surprise.
Anna's surprised voice rang in his head: " I can't believe it, did you just let them go without doing anything to them?
Even if we forget about the mess your mind has become right now, with your personality you wouldn't have let them off the hook so easily, tell me what happened. "
For Anna it was one of the greatest shocks, she had been watching him for such a long time and she had gotten quite used to his personality by now, so seeing him just letting them go even though they were planning to beat him up, seemed impossible to her.
Jayden's face was emotional, as he replied in his mind:
' A person should be forgiving, revenge isn't always the only solution, maybe my kindness today will turn all of them into better people, giving them all a better future. '
Anna listened to him and she was completely stunned, she could not form any words and wondered whether the Divine Beast's nightmare had turned him into a peace believing person.
But no sooner had he said that several loud screams filled with pain rang out in the entire place, all the onlookers turned to look in the direction and what they saw stunned them all.
The seven guards had thrown the fat man on the ground, then all of them began hitting him with their legs hitting as hard as they could and before long several bone cracking sounds rang out as he pleaded to all of them.
" P- Please, sob sob let ughhhhhhh let me g- go aaaaaaaaaah, noooooo M- my arm ughhh COUGH COUGH "
*CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK*
Four cracking sounds rang out as all four of his limbs were broken, and all his body was battered badly, it would at least need him a few years to heal and even so he would never be able to walk again.
" It's all because of you, you son of a bitch, I'm going to kill you, how dare you try to trick us, you wanted us all to die along with you, huh? You shouldn't have messed with me. Ha! "
They beat him for several more minutes, and when he passed out, all seven guards finally stopped and panted heavily.
Then under the strange gazes of the crowd, all the guards turned to look at each other, and they began to throw blame on one another.
