Entering through the city gates and following onto the main pathway, the surrounding was bustling with activity. The crowd was big and the buildings were huge. I had to admit that being back in the city was a great feeling.

After a few minutes, we arrived at a gate guarded by two persons. As they saw the carriages they slowly opened up and let us through. The way they moved was so natural, it felt as if it was programmed into their being or as if it was second nature to them.

The carriages continued to roll forth toward the main house and on our way there we observed a bunch of patroling guards whom had each established a peak bronze rank. In my hand, I had the rank and system of their world and it was as followed:

Bronze 🥉

Silver 🥈

Gold 🥇

Platinum 🎖

The bronze stage strengthens your outer body, the silver stage strengthens the inner body (such as the organs) and the gold rank is the stage that allows you to release energy outside your body. Lastly is platinum which is the highest stage in this region.

In better terms of understanding, the platinum rank is the stage that you learn the concept of some principles of a law.

As we proceeded to the location, we observed figures mounted in the distance. In front of the main building  there stood a bunch of maids and butlers waiting to serve us.

Butler: "Welcome back Ojou Sama"

Maid: "Welcome back Ojou Sama"

Looking at the the two rows of bowing maids and butlers, I noticed a blonde beauty that proceeded to walk towards us.

Zhao YI: "Welcome back young miss"

Zhao Ya'er: "Yes it is good to be back Yi'er"

"Young miss, your parents are waiting for you in the meeting room. After her announcement, the maid that seemed to be the head of the team led the way there."

Entering through the doors of the room, we arrived at a large table equipped to seat twenty people, however, the room itself hosted about 120 people.

We proceeded to the table only to have people looking at us. Their admiration was accompanied by a chorus of voices, one that spoke after the other.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Zhao He: "Welcome back our lovely daughter! "

Zhao Li: "Welcome back our lovely daughter! "

The two gentle voices spoke out the same time,  perhaps it was  the father and mother of Zhao Ya’er.

Zhao Ya’er: " Father! "

Zhao Ya’er: " Mother! " 

Zhao Ya’er bowed down to greet her parents whom in turn looked at us.

"Mother and father this is Aj and his cousin who have saved me from being killed on the road coming home. "

As Zhao Ya’er recounted the story to her parents, they became visibly upset. The anger began to drip off her father’s face and the look of concern consumed her mother’s.

Greatful, her parents replied, "thank you for saving our daughter, is there anything we can do for you?" But just as he said that, an elder intervened.

Zhao Si: We dont know if he saved her or if this was all a planned attack.

I looked at that man and replied: “I was not looking for a reward and i surely dont care what you have to say because at end the day i will sleep good.” After i defended myself to the elder,  I prepared to leave the room when suddenly a voice intervened.

“Young man, who told you to leave?”

Ignoring the person, we continued to leave, however, I could not help but shake the feeling that someone in that room would test my patience. Rightfully so, i suddenly felt the wind of an incoming fist that stood behind me.

It was the person that previously challenged me as I began to exit the room. I quickly tilted my head to the side as their fist flew straight pass me. I gripped his hand  to which he lost his balance and i adjusted my waist to be able to pick him up and slam him to the ground.

It was a technique similar to judo but that was not the end. I held his hand and twisted it in a motion that earned loud screams from my opponent.

Young Man: “Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, my hand!!!!!!!!!!!!! ”

I continued to walk through the doors when I suddenly felt a series of bad aura rising up from behind me. Erratically I turned around and pulled out my weapon just in case I may need to take any action.

Just as the sitituation was getting tense the leader said “let him go.”

Zhao He: “Because you save my daughter i will let u go.”

I looked at the man with no emotion and said “let me go? that was  funny. The only thing you did was save those old fools life. “I dont need a single thing from you” was the last thing i said as i left.

In the background I could hear Zhao angrily speaking to her clan but this has nothing to do with me.

My cousin and I wandered the  streets trying to figure out the next plan. Along the way, we passed an auction house and decided to sell all our ware.

As we entered through the door, we arrived to a large hall occupied by many people moving back and forth within the building. Upon our entry, we approached the receptionist desk.

Receptionist : “Welcome sir, how may i help you?”

Aj: " I would like to sell something, can u help me?”

Receptionist: “ Yes sir take out the item that you would like to sell here?”

I nodded my head and agreed to accompany her somewhere private that we can do this. The lady was completely unaware why we had asked this but she still agreed to take us to a private room.

Receptionist: “Follow me!”

I followed the lady to a empty room and nodded satisfyingly.

Receptionist: “You can take out the thing out now.”

Nodding to her i turned to my cousin and told him to take out the items to which he unleashed his scoll which revealed everything we accumulated since our arrival into this world.

The item spilt on the ground forming a mountain of raw material made of bronze to gold ranked beasts. The receptionist was in a state a shock.

Receptionist: “Wait a minute sir, I cant handle this deal, i will bring the manger here.” She immediately left to retrieve her employer.
