Chapter 7 - Only Two?!!!

The young wizards at the Silver Pond continued to stare at Henry in wonder.

"This fellow really has some guts."

"Yes… even after kicking the little dong, he's not leaving this place."

"Stop your blabber… My family's young master, Lee Dong, will come soon and will kick this fellow left and right." One of the Dong family youth cried out desperately.

More young people gathered as the news spread about Henry kicking the ass of little Dong. Many of them were eagerly waiting to see Lee Dong, who will come and take revenge for his little brother.

"Little Dong is not a weak magus… how was he defeated in one move?" One of the Dong family youth asked with a doubtful look.

"Idiot… You still didn't recognize him? He's Henry Clark… the person who qualified for the wizard academy last year. Seems like he has recovered from the crippled state." A Pot family youth replied in a slow whisper.

"My God… So he is the genius Henry Clark. I understood now… But everyone said he will be a cripple for life, and even his cultivation got damaged. How did he recover?" The Dong family youth asked again in confusion.

"Who knows? Maybe the Clark family hired a powerful healer. Better not mess with him," the pot-family youth replied.

"Holy heavens…"

While the youth whisper and murmur about Henry Clark, he was silently absorbing the natural Aura Aura. 

And on the other hand, a few Clark family young wizards nervously discussing what is going to happen next. Many of them are wondering whether this clash will lead to a family feud.

Slowly, a Clark family young boy from the family, approached Henry with a nervous look.

"You are Henry Clark, right?! I saw you when they brought you back from the wizard academy in a crippled state. My name is Suman Clark." The youth politely spoke in a whispering tone.

"Yes… I am Henry Clark. Do you need anything?" Henry asked calmly.

"You shouldn't have done that to little Dong!" Suman said in a whisper.

"Why?"

"Little Dong is the second son of the Dong family patriarch. More than that, he has a powerful older brother named Lee Dong, the future head of the Dong family. He will definitely come after you!"

"Oh… is that Lee Dong-rich?" Henry asked curiously.

"What?! Of course… But why do you ask this? Aren't you worried about getting beaten?" Suman asked with a worried look.

Henry shrugged. "Let him come. I am more worried about leaving this spot than facing any big dog. Anyway, thank you for your advice. In the future, if you need any help, come to me. Don't forget that... I am your brother." Henry said with a smile before closing his eyes.

"It seems like Henry is not so simple…" Suman muttered before moving back to the other group.

Even though Henry was absorbing the natural aura, all his focus stayed on one thought.

"How can I get more spirit stones…? The natural aura is very negligible. At this rate, I will take millions of years to reach my divine sword state."

Just as he was lost in deep thought…

"There!!! That's him! Brother, that's the one who kicked me. He even called our family... dogs."

The furious scream of the little dong echoed all across Silver Pond.

Henry lazily opened his eyes and saw the screaming little dong in the distance.

Little Dong is rushing towards Henry at full speed with a big cloth wrapped around him and his face still swollen from crying earlier. Behind him walked a taller young man with a long black staff on his back; he also wore expensive robes and had an arrogant, smug look.

The crowd stirred and stood in a circle all around to watch the ongoing drama.

"That's Lee Dong! The eldest young master of the Lee family!"

"He is a fifth-class disciple magus! This Henry is really done today!"

"This is bad… The Lee family will take this chance to take revenge on the Clark family."

Henry stared straight into the eyes of Lee Dong, who came standing at a closer distance.

Lee Dong was also staring back with a grim look.

"Are you the one who attacked my brother?!"

Henry didn't bother standing up. "I didn't attack him. He is the one who raised his weapon first. I only helped him lose some weight."

"You?!!!"

Little Dong took a step forward. "Brother, why are you asking him any questions? He called me a dog! And tore all my clothes!!! He… he humiliated our family in front of everyone."

Lee Dong grabbed his staff and pointed at Henry with an angry look. "You… stand up and fight. I don't like beating a sitting trash." Lee Dong's aura flared.

The crowd excitedly watched, and one of the rich family youth took out a black stone to record the scene.

Just as everyone is thinking, the fight is going to break out soon…

Henry raised his hand calmly. "Wait…"

"What now? Trying to beg for mercy. Hahaha…"

Henry smirked. "Will you dare to bet?"

"What do you mean?" Lee Dong blinked in confusion.

"Why fight for free? Let's bet some spirit stones." Henry replied with a taunting look.

The crowd went wild after hearing the proposal of Henry.

"God… this fellow is definitely mad."

"He wants to bet the spirit stone… Is he insane?!"

"I can't believe this… spirit stones as betting!!! Bold!… too bold!!!"

Lee Dong burst into laughter after understanding the proposal of Henry. 

"You…? Bet spirit stones? Ha ha ha ha ha... You can't even withstand one of my spells!"

But in reply, Henry laughed more loudly, which made everyone stop and stare at him in confusion.

"Then why are you afraid? Let's bet spirit stones. Tell me how many you have. Don't tell me you are poor and afraid of me."

"What…?! Who is afraid of you?!" Lee Dong roared in anger. "I am the son of the Lee family patriarch. And my family is very rich in this town." He replied with a proud grin.

"Ohhh… that's good then. Tell me how many you want to bet."

After a little thought… Lee Dong raised two fingers.

"Cheee...! Yak! Poor soil..."
