Chapter 357 First round (35)
Michael knew that acting tough in this situation wouldn't do him any good, so he said, "What do you want?"
The other Awakeners that were with him were surprised to see him back down, but they didn't say anything. After all, they knew exactly why he was backing down at this moment.
Before Tammy could say anything, I suddenly said, "Let's just kill them all and be done with it." Read exclusive chapters at empire
As soon as I said this, all of them looked at me in shock and disbelief.
It was as if they never thought that I would suddenly give this suggestion.
Then before anyone could respond, Michael suddenly pointed his finger at me and said, "Who do you think you are to propose something like this? This isn't a place for someone like you to…"
Before he could finish, Tammy cut him off by saying, "He is my partner, so he can say whatever he wants."
As soon as they heard this, they once again revealed shocked looks.
Michael and his group all looked at Tammy, as if they were trying to figure out if she was being serious or not.
But Tammy just had a poker face, so they couldn't see anything from it.
At that, they couldn't help feeling a bit worried.
This was someone that Tammy treated as an equal, so what would happen if she suddenly decided to listen to him?
Would they really die here?
All of them couldn't help feeling a chill run down their spines as soon as this thought ran through their mind.
These Awakeners were the prized rookies of the large and big guilds, so they had an arrogance that others didn't have. This came from being looked up to by everyone else, which stroked their egos until they reached this point.
This built up their confidence until they thought that they were more important than anyone else.
But that also made it so that they were more afraid of death.
They firmly believed that they were destined to achieve something great, so when their lives were in danger, they were more afraid than anyone else.
With death so close, they couldn't help feeling scared.
But it was Tammy who spoke up for them in the end by saying, "They're from the various large and big guilds, there's no telling what they'll do in the future if we kill all of them. Leaving them might mean having to face them in the future, but at the very least, the guilds behind them won't pursue this matter."
After she said this, everyone looked at me as if they were waiting for my reaction.
I didn't say anything at first as if I was unwilling to accept this, but in the end, I said, "Fine, we don't have to kill them."
When they heard this, all of them let out sighs of relief.
But the next words caused the ugly looks to appear on their faces again.
"However, we can't just let them go without suffering a single consequence." I said in a cold voice.
Hearing this, Tammy gave a nod of agreement before looking back at Michael to say, "What do you think that your punishment should be?"
Michael had a very ugly expression on his face when he heard this, but he quickly calmed himself down to say, "Haven't we already been punished enough. How are we supposed to keep earning points in this condition? How do you expect us to pass the exam in this condition?"
After a pause, he said in a gentler voice, "As long as you let us go, I promise that we will drop this matter and won't bother you in the future."
I just shook my head and said, "Not good enough."
Then I also looked at Michael to say, "At the very least, we need to take your points as well. After all, you just gained a bunch from slaying these beasts, right?"
All of the Awakeners revealed ugly expressions when they heard this.
They had been hoping that they would forget about this, but it was true that they had earned quite a few points from fighting those beasts just now.
As long as they were able to leave this place safely, then they wouldn't need to worry about earning more points. With the points that they currently have, it should be easy for them to make it to the next round.
That is as long as nothing happened to their points.
But now they were being robbed for their points.
Michael took a deep breath and said,"You should know your limits and know when to…"
Before he could finish, I had already come forward to kick Michael down on the ground before saying, "Give me the token now or else."
Michael looked up at me with a shocked look on his face.
It was clear that he never expected me to suddenly get violent like this.
Seeing that he wasn't doing anything, I raised my foot again as if I was about to kick him once more.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Michael hesitated for a second, but in the end…he took out his token for me.
I snatched the token from his hand and brought out my own token.
When I did, the other Awakeners looked at me with strange and confused looks, as if they were trying to understand what I was doing.
Though there were a few that understood what was happening.
Michael was one of the ones that didn't know what was happening, so he said, "What are you doing?"
I just ignored him as I brought my token up to his token.
Then holding the two tokens, I brought out the score on both of them.
Everyone was surprised to see this since they clearly didn't know that the token had this function. Even Tammy had a surprised look, showing that she didn't know about this as well.
After that, I brought Michael's token over to my token before putting them together.
The moment that they came together, the point value started to change.
