“Lily, let’s disembark and find a place to rest for the night,” said Justin with a smile before jumping down from the boat.“I’ll help you,” he said while extending his hand toward Lily on the ship.“Hmm,” responded Lily gently as she grabbed onto Justin’s hand and got down from the boat.Justin has been attentively taking great care of her for the past few days onboard the boat.They both scanned their surroundings when they touched the ground and Justin noticed the local fishermen were curiously looking at him not far away.The fishermen were dressed in ancient traditional coarse linens which gave off a simple and plain feel.This place was beautiful with no pollution. It was not a busy modern port, but a peaceful and simple fishing village.Lily could not wait any longer as she looked at Justin. “Where should we go?”Justin told her before the journey that he had previously visited the New World.Justin scratched his head as he thought out loud, “When Florian evacuated toge
The fishermen ran away at the sight of him, where would he have the opportunity to buy from them? Furthermore, the money he had on him could not be used here.Lily laughed lightly at that. “Don’t do it next time.” Although Justin stole for her sake, it was still an immoral thing to do.The two began their journey once more. Lily was in a good mood although there were no other means of transportation along the way. The scenery there was gorgeous as though it came right out from a painting.They walked for almost two hours before finally reaching a busy small town.The town was not huge, but it was bustling with people. It looked like a bustling street from afar as there were assorted food stalls by the streets with some selling candies and clay dolls.Both of them started to get hungry after the two hours walk. Justin touched his pocket and felt troubled.Money from the World Universe could not be used here.What should they do?What made matters worse were the townspeople point
Justin chased after the young man into the woods at the town’s outskirts. The young man suddenly stopped as a few others then appeared from the woods.They wore ordinary clothes, but there was a menacing look on their faces. It was obvious these three were the town’s street thugs.“Dude, did you have to chase after me for a mere hundred tokens?” The young man who robbed Justin looked at him and sneered before walking slowly.Adrian Lamar was the town’s infamous street thug. Those next to him were his mates.Justin panicked but pretended to be tough once he saw that Adrian had backup support. “If you know any better, return the money to me! Otherwise, I’ll make all of you suffer.”He had come from a wealthy family in Donghai City with some reputation, hence the street thugs in Donghai City would be polite to him. However, these few street thugs dared to rob him!“F*ck, are you threatening me? Haha, how could you be so arrogant in my territory? I think you’re seeking death!” Adrian
Justin removed his wet jacket, wiped off the blood on him, and returned to town to look for Lily.…On the other end in the World Universe.Donghai City First Hospital.Chester was on the bed at the patient ward covered in bandages with blood seeping through.The past few days, the Eternal Life Palace and Emei Sect had a huge battle which lasted for a day and night!Although the Emei Sect was badly injured after the battle, the Eternal Life Palace was worse off. Their numbers advantage did not help as the Sect Master of Emei—Aurora Hensen was extremely powerful. Chester suffered dozens of stab wounds after the day and night battle.He was then sent to the Donghai City First Hospital which had high medical skills. Despite not being able to heal internal injuries, they were rather highly skilled in treating external injuries.At that moment, Chester was calm as he smiled at Shelly Sullivan who was busy caring for him.The Chief of Staff, Shelly was busy taking care of him attent
“Chester, do you even treat me as your brother?!” Dax yelled with a hoarse voice and moist eyes. “Why did you not tell me when you led the Eternal Life Palace Sect to attack Emei Sect? I would’ve still been kept in the dark were it not for my men reporting this to me! I thought we agreed to share our burdens!”Dax just caught the news that Chester fought against the Emei Sect and failed miserably. He was then heavily injured before being sent to the hospital. Dax was shocked and angry at the same time, hence the rushed over once he could.He could no longer hold back his frustrations once he entered the patient ward and saw Chester’s injured body being covered like a dumpling.At Dax’s shouts, Chester’s nose felt sore from feeling touched. “Dax, you and Darryl are my life-sworn brothers. The three of us previously fought together against the New World Army which caused your Flower Mountain to be badly affected. How could I drag you down into the beef between the Emei Sect and me? In
They were getting closer to a huge city not far away. Beautiful flowers in a variety of colors bloomed on either side of the city gates could be seen from a distance.“We’re here at Hibiscus City,” said Jewel excitedly upon seeing the city gates.“Hibiscus City?” Darryl muttered to himself.Jewel laughed and said, “Hibiscus City is named after the assorted species of hibiscus that grows around the city. The Jade Sect Main Altar is located at the Hundred Flower Valley which lies a few kilometers away from Hibiscus City. Their sect only accepts female disciples.”Darryl laughed and said, “Let’s rest in Hibiscus City tonight then. We’ll continue our journey tomorrow.”“Sure!” Jewel cheered from feeling overjoyed.Jewel had previously come to Hibiscus City but was a wandering beggar then. She could finally enjoy the city’s sights and experiences at that moment.The horse carriage entered Hibiscus City as they were talking.The city was bustling with life from street vendors with so
“Lily, there’s nothing inappropriate about carrying you since you can’t walk,” said Justin excitedly.“It’s… It’s fine. I’ll walk by myself.” Lily smiled lightly before slowly walking ahead.She would only accept one man in her entire life and that was Darryl. How could she let Justin carry her?Justin sighed before chasing after her.They finally reached the inn after some time. At the entrance, Justin’s touched the iron saber on his waist. He realized that in this world after yesterday’s beaten up by those street thugs, ‘You will get bullied if you are powerless.’ He had spent twenty tokens on a saber to pretend to be someone powerful so that those street thugs who saw him might not mess with him.At the entrance, Justin scanned the surroundings and noticed several patrons at the inn with none looking like thugs. He then let out a sigh of relief before immediately sitting down. He then asked for two bowls of noodles and some tea.“Lily, the table is a little dirty. I’ll help yo
“Haha!”“Wow, Brother. You got lucky today!”The few men beside Odin teased as they were a bunch of bandits used to doing evil after all.Lily was furious and squirmed, but was held firmly by Odin. She was almost in tears. “Let… Let me go.”Justin panicked at that and quickly approached Odin before saying, “What are you doing? Do not touch her!”He drew the saber from his waist and said, “Let me tell you, I’m a follower of the Hall of Swords. Don’t offend me.”At that very moment, Justin was extremely nervous as the Hall of Swords was just a lie to frighten them.Hall of Swords? Odin was stunned before he started jeering, “What Hall of Swords? I’ve been around for years. How come I’ve never heard of this name? B*stard, who are you trying to scare?”Slap! Odin lifted his hand and slapped Justin’s saber away. At that instant, Justin felt a huge energy force from Odin and ended up stumbling back a few steps from loss of balance.Haha!The men laughed.“I thought he’s powerful
