1406 Control your dogs
"Hmmm. As I thought, dealing with third rates is still not a problem even though my body is this weak."
Nux pondered out loud.
Right now, he was sitting on top of three bodies. No, he didn't kill them. Although he didn't mind killing, he still didn't wish to meet Felberta as a 'criminal', although he knew she wouldn't mind, it would still affect his first impression of her.
The three dudes were just unconscious. Although Nux knew that if they weren't healed quickly, they might lose their lives, after all, he didn't exactly go easy on them.
Not that he had the option to.
His reaction time was faster than them and he could easily dodge their blows, but, his blows weren't exactly lethal, incapacitating them while holding back wasn't possible.
Even after he pretty much plucked their eyes out and turned them into eunuchs, the dudes, maybe because of their anger, still came at him like wild beasts.
In the end, Nux needed to use a weapon.
'Heh.'
He laughed, looking at the stone covered in blood.
Yes, it was the same stone that he had picked last time to pierce himself (chickened out) to get his 'golden finger'.
Today, he finally used his System, just that this time, he used it to incapacitate his enemies, breaking both their knees and elbows to make sure they didn't attack him back. By the time he was done, their pain threshold was reached and the dudes passed out.
Only then did Nux recall that he could have done this from the beginning, there was no need to cripple them.
Hey now, don't blame him, he was used to defeating his enemies in one go, the only opponent he had fought like this was Vyriana and... he never once thought about incapacitating that Dragon.
This was a new experience for him.
"Weak body is manageable, but this stamina is still a problem..."

In the end, he just closed his eyes and rested for a while.
15 minutes later, when he thought he had rested enough, he grabbed Mark's hair and, Slap
"Oi, wake up."
He spoke in a calm tone.
Of course, one slap wasn't nearly enough to wake him up, not that Nux minded.
Slap Slap Slap
"H-Huh!? Who the he- Ahhhh!!"
Mark's eyes widened in horror as he glanced at the man in front of him.
"Y-Y-Yo-" He wanted to say many things but,
"Shut the fuck up, don't annoy me more than I already am." Nux threatened, looking right into the man's eyes, sending shivers deep down his spine.
"W-What do you want...?" he questioned, his body trembling in constant pain.
"Take me to the place you wanted to take me to."
"..."
The man didn't know what to say.
"What?" Nux frowned.
"You... could have gone with us from the beginning..."
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})"Who was the one who tried to punch first?"
"..." The man had no answer.
"Anyways, stand up, I don't have all day.
I have only broken one of your knees and spared your eyes so that you can walk and take me there, you can buy a health potion later for yourself, I don't care."
Saying those words, Nux stood up, pulling the man's hair, forcing him to stand up as well.
The man's entire body trembled in pain, he wanted to get revenge, however, with both his elbows and one knee broken, there was nothing he could do.
Not to mention... the fear he felt as he looked into the man's neutral eyes, acting as if beating them to this state was nothing big, made him tremble in fear and sucked away all the remaining thoughts of revenge he had.
Soon, Nux dragged the man outside, forcing him to take him to the merchant house where he would be sold.
He considered that the man might take him to his base but honestly, he wasn't scared. Right now, he believed that even if he faced an Advance Stage Cultivator, he would still win. He just needed to attack the eyes, nose, throat, or groin.
As long as he was in control and his mind-muscle connection was there, dealing with small cultivators wasn't a big deal.
However, Mark was smarter than he looked and despite feeling pain as he walked, he took Nux to the place he wanted to get to and soon, Nux was in front of a large building made from white-coloured marble.
Nux and Mark tried to enter the building, but,
"Stop."
Two guards walked towards him and Mark.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
The guards questioned.
Nux glanced at Mark, just a single look from him was enough for him to know what to do, "I need to meet Elton, he is the man Elton wanted me to bring."
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Mark spoke.
The two guards glanced at them with a frown, then, they glanced at each other, nodded, and allowed the two to enter the building.
As the two entered and walked towards a specific room, they attracted a lot of attention, clearly, this wasn't a daily occurrence and people were curious, however, seeing Mark's state and Nux's neutral, cold eyes, they decided not to get involved in this matter.
No one here was curious enough to risk their lives for it.
Knock Knock
Nux knocked on the door.
After a knock, the door was opened by a beautiful girl wearing a classic maid costume, she raised an eyebrow in surprise when she recognized Mark and saw his state, her eyes then fell on Nux, an unknown handsome man she didn't know and frowned in confusion.
Turning towards Mark, she waited for him to explain,
"He is the one Elton wanted to meet," Mark spoke.
"He...?" The girl glanced at Nux, clearly confused.
However, seeing the man's face, she could see how the man would suit the role perfectly.
Therefore, despite finding this situation odd, she nodded and walked into the room, signalling them to follow her.
Nux followed her trail, there he saw the merchant he met before.
The merchant glanced at Nux and then Mark, then, he frowned, however, before he could ask anything, Nux pushed Mark towards him and, "Control your dogs, he tried to attack me and ended up like this, the others are sleeping back at my place, pick them up when you have time."
He spoke coldly.
Elton blinked in surprise, unable to believe what he heard, however, before he could ask anything to understand the situation better, "Now where is Fel- I mean, Viscount Felberta? When are we going to meet her?"
Nux questioned.
