Blood sprayed everywhere as the heads of the two thugs closest to him flew into the air.
The sight of two people dying caused people to scream in fear and panic. They even wanted to scatter and run for their lives.
But he shouted at them, "Nobody move. Nobody should move a single step."
His shout caused everyone to shut up and freeze. They looked at him in fear, but he didn't bother with them. He just rushed after the other thugs.
He only managed to kill two more because the rest were running away. He didn't chase after them because he had something he wanted to do first.
Blood had drenched his clothes after killing four of the thugs. But he didn't care about how he looked. He returned to the carriage and continued distributing bread.
However, he had something else to say as he was distributing the bread.
He said to everyone, "If you want to interfere in my business, ask yourself this: is your life worth some bread? Be sure to know the answer to that question because I will come after your life if you mess with me."
This was shouted so that everyone could hear him. But he also said something quietly to those he gave bread to personally.
"This is the kind of strength those who train at my dojo can have. So tell everyone I killed four thugs very skillfully. If they train hard in my dojo, they too can gain the power to resist their fate. Remember, training is between 8 am and 10 am, and it is free."
His bloody and ferocious appearance was the best advertisement for his dojo that he could have. After all, he is red and bloody, which matches the name Red Dojo.
Actually, there is a possibility that this entire thing will blow over after he has shown that he is strong and not easy to mess with. It is also highly possible that the Black Band gang will apologize to him and even give him gifts to appease him.
He has seen such a thing happen before when enemies realized that the person they are dealing with is a member of the Dyson family. But he is not going to count on that because it is highly possible that the Black Band gang will find someone in the family to support them.
It is even possible that someone in the family is already supporting them. That won't surprise him since the Dyson family is the overlord of the area.
So he is going to perform a series of preemptive strikes with the goal of eliminating the Black Band gang completely or at least dealing a devastating blow to them. That way, they won't be able to gather their strength to retaliate against him.
It is a good idea to be proactive when enmity has been formed. But there is also a very important reason why he wants to kill more members of the Black Band gang and why he told the beneficiaries of his charity to tell everyone about what he did.
This reason is that he received a lot of karma when he killed those thugs.
He received 2 karma from the first woman he saved, and then he received 1 karma from everyone in the vicinity. That was 1700 worth of karma for the act of killing a thug.
He killed four thugs and received a wave of karma each time. So the lives of those men were worth at least 6,800 karma.
That is at least 6,800 karma because he is still receiving notifications of karma as more and more people heard of his actions. Apparently, a lot of people are grateful to him for eliminating those men.
He thought to himself in anticipation, "1,700 karma is worth at least 1,700 bronze coins. So the life of one man is worth 17 silver coins. That is about right since slaves are usually worth 10 silver coins."
His eyes twinkled as he said, "Actually, killing them is more lucrative than selling slaves."
