East Meet West

155- A Lesson for both 1

So, cutting off Ethan’s leg is the only feasible thing when considering all the facts, as cutting off his hands or piercing his chest is not a good idea, and as for aiming for his head, that is also risky. But now, Orochi has also prevented his chance of escaping.

.

Seeing Orochi coming closer, Pamila panicked and shouted,

“Please, forgive us. I know we were wrong but please don’t kill my senior brother.”

“Yes senior, I know we were wrong. Please forgive us.”

Jashan also took the lead and started begging for forgiveness.

Now the situation of Senior Brother Ethan is not good. His leg is gone, his combat capabilities have been halved, not to mind about fighting it is difficult to escape in front of this guy, so it is better to ask for forgives.

As for the ‘Important mission’, life is more important than some benefits and wealth.

With that in mind, Jashan started to ask for forgiveness from Orochi.

As for Pamila, she was scared about her senior brother. She has feelings for her senior brother so naturally, she did not want any kind of bad thing to befall him. So, she can only pitifully beg for forgiveness and hope that her Senior brother can be saved.

Listening to their begging, Orochi simply sneered and said,

“First of all, you guys attack without any reason and act all unreasonable. And that guy, your senior brother, attacked me with the intention to kill. Do you think, I am a fool? Or do you think that our lives are not worth it? You guys attacked us, so now pay for your mistakes.”

Hearing this Pamila felt guilty and her eyes were filled with tears. She dropped on her knees and cried,

“Senior, I know what he did was terrible. But he is our close friend. So, please... please forgive him. I’ll do anything, so please forgive him. If you want to kill someone, I will bear the responsibility. So, kill me and let them go. Please...”

Tears ran across her cheeks, while she begged for Ethan’s life.

Pamila’s words played a little effect on Orochi’s emotions. But they were still effective.

In the past life, whenever Orochi came across novels in which the main character was stupid, emotional, and benevolent, he would drop those novels.

So, one day he came across novels in which main characters were ruthless, they were perfect examples of evil or anti-hero. They would not even flinch when they destroy the enemy's family, including the women and children. There were also certain situations in which the main character would kill a large number of people which included innocent people or the people who have never come into contact with him/her, but the main character destroys them for his own benefit.

So, when Orochi read this type of novel, he was not pleased with what he got.

He felt that maybe if the main character was cruel, then the novel could be the best type for him. But he realized that he was wrong.

For example, the main character is a governor of a county, there to build his prestige he destroys a few sects and clans to warn other powers in the county and the fact is they did not even offend the main character. They were just some weak powers, but the main character destroys them to build his momentum. He slaughters everyone to remove any future problems. Like cutting grass and removing roots.

So, when Orochi came across these kinds of situations, he did not agree with the main character's work. He felt that it was unnecessary to slaughter some unrelated people. Instead, get stronger and kill those who have offended you not the innocents.

Orochi’s feelings are tangled and messed up. He wants a ruthless and cunning main character, but he does not agree with the ways of killing innocent people.

.

Listening to Pamila’s pitiful situation, Orochi’s heart and mind were messed up and he stopped advancing towards them. But he did not change his expression. If someone observes Orochi’s facial expression, then they will think that Orochi is as if he is watching a show.

Armelia who was on the sidelines was watching the whole situation. She looked at Pamila and then looked at Ethan whose leg was cut.

When she saw Pamila kneeling on the ground, Armelia’s mood started fluctuating.

In Pamila, she saw her own shadow.

If Orochi, her husband, encounters the same situation and Ethan is replaced by Orochi, then she would be in the place of Pamila. Then she too would do anything to save Orochi and even exchange her life to save him. So, when she thinks about it, her heart starts to ache.

After hesitating for a moment, Armelia got closer to Orochi and said,

“Husband, I think you should let them go. Although, they made a mistake by attacking us, but we are still safe and that guy’s leg is gone, so they don’t pose any danger to us. And when these two attacked me, the woman did not use her full strength, she only defended my attacks, so the pressure was not much. I could not feel any malice from her, so I guess she was forced by that guy. So, let’s just forget it and spare their lives.”

Listening to Armelia, whose tone was filled with pity and sadness, Orochi’s emotions that were messed up, settled. He sighed and said,

“Armelia, just remember one thing, if you are so kind to your enemies then you will hurt the people who are close to you. I just hope you understand that in this world living beings are selfish and greedy.”

“Sigh, let’s go.”

With that Orochi turned back and took Armelia’s hand started walking back to the place where they started the fire.

.

Seeing that, Orochi and Armelia, did not pursue the matter and turned away, Jashan was overjoyed and Pamila was relieved.

She was grateful to that girl who persuaded that boy to spare their lives, especially her senior brother’s life.

Just as both, Jashan and Pamila were experiencing relief, a shadow passed by them.

.

Orochi and Armelia who had just taken 3-4 steps, stopped. Orochi immediately pushed Armelia away from him and turned around.

A Sword pierced his abdomen.

‘ding’

‘-2341 HP’

Orochi looked down and saw that the sword pierced through and was sticking out.

His throat got sweet and blood started flowing out from his mouth.

And when Orochi saw the person who stabbed him, a smile appeared on his face.

Yes, a smile.
