Chapter 196 - Mentalist.
Yang Dao’s cold voice sent a chill down the spine of the bandit leader. The guy still tried to play it hard though, “Even if we all die, what makes you so sure that you can still stay alive.”
The boy smiled and said in a low voice, “Your people only have ten real guns the rest are life-like imitations.”
Under the helmet, a pair of cold sharp eyes enlarged. The person could not believe how the guy found out but what he said was true indeed. Among fifty people only ten held real guns and bullets the rest held dummies.
One more thing was clear to the bandit leader, that this guy did not want to kill unabashedly. Taking the mercifulness into account the guy said, “I agree, let my people go and I follow you.”
Yang Dao nodded and said, “You ask them to leave and if I found any single lingering shadow within a kilometer, you are dead, then I will hunt them all down. Do not mistake my patience as my weakness.” his words, warnings, gestures all made the bandit leader believe that Yang Dao can really kill them all if he wished so.
The bandit leader raised his uninjured hand and said in a muffled voice, “Leave, no one comes close and do not follow us.”
Of course, how could the people leave so easily? They were a group of bandits on the surface, but Yang Dao sensed their bond and hesitation. The gang protested. They did not want to leave their leader in the hands of the enemy.
“Leader, we can still fight it out.”
“You cannot do this, who knows what they will do to you. We will not go.”
The area and mountains echoed with the chant of protest. Yang Dao raised his head and fired a shot in the air. The people immediately fell silent. The boy then pointed the gun at the bandit leader and said, “I shoot your leader, right now and right here. You can take a pick. The sooner we get away from here, the sooner you can treat the injured.
Look here, the wound on your leader’s shoulder is bleeding, it will not stop until the bullet is taken out, the longer the bullet stays in the higher the risk of toxic spread. If the blood became toxic, your leader may die, or worse, become an amputee. Tell me what do you want? A healthy leader, a dead leader, or umm… half leader?”
The indifference carried in his voice was scary, not only for the bandits, but at this moment even the guards were scared. The people inside the car could not hear anything happening outside. The cars were slow, and the tires were not bulletproof. Eric and other guards had faced these bandits earlier. So they knew that if the convoy did not stop, these guys will shoot at the tires.
This boy in front of them was calm and flexible since the starting of the assault. His movement shocked the guards. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
The bandit leader said, “I know that you all do not trust this man and his people, but believe in me. Leave, if you think of me as your leader and you care about my words.” the tone was dominant.
The bandits were stuck in a dillema. This person was their leader, the one who had got them through many disasters, the reason this person was their leader was not because of the strength. It was because of the wisdom and virtue of this person.
The leader of the raiders was unanimously elected. Sensing the hesitation of the men, the leader said, “Since you do not go, I am no longer your leader. Boy, you can kill me. They do not care about my words anymore.”
Yang Dao nodded and asked, “Where do I shoot you? In the head or the heart? Be sure you will suffer pain in both the spots. The brain stays awake for a few seconds before complete death. The pain from getting shot will be too much to bare. Or do you prefer I break your neck? Or bumper offer, I break your spirit in front of your men by stripping your clothes off and then, You can commit suicide.”
His words were getting to much for even himself, yet he could not show any sort of hesitation otherwise the bluff will not pay off. His act helped the bandits. They could do anything for their leader, but thinking about the last words spoken by the brat, they believed that this guy will actually do it.
One man shouted, “Stop. We retreat. Men, let’s go.”
The bandits slowly left on their bikes. Yang Dao, waited and with his wind sense he verified that the bandits had now gone and stopped approximately a kilometer away. He let go of the bandit leader and said, “Let’s go,”
He kept a two meter distance from the person and on the gun point he led the person to the guard squad. He said, “Give me a car, Kiya and Sasha will be with me. Load my bike and gear in your cars. Be quick.”
Eric did not dare to question this boy when he was akin to a monster from hell. He nodded opened the door of his own jeep, in which Kiya, Sasha, and Ayaka were waiting anxiously. At the same time he had two people load Yang Dao’s bike and stuff on another car.
Yang Dao asked Ayaka, “Coach, can you please go sit in another car?” he did not take his eyes off the bandit leader when he talked.
The coach was surprised but she trusted Yang Dao and without wasting any time she went to sit down in a car in the back. The Dao Child said to Sasha, “Take the wheel, you are driving, Just like military training. Kiya you are operating on this person.”
He said to the bandit leader, “Get inside. Try to make a funny move, and I will strio you of both your clothes and skin, while you are alive.”
Let alone the bandit leader, even Sasha and Kiya were shocked to hear such words coming out of Yang Dao. He was in his soldier mode at this moment. The survival of his team was more important for him.
The four people got inside the car, Sasha behind the wheel, Kiya sat on the left of the bandit leader, while Yang Dao, had flattened the passenger seat to get a clean aim of the bandit leader. Just now he used his mental skills to the peak.
