Chapter 213: 213: Boss

Alex walked along the river once more, but couldn't find any yang jades anymore. He had washed the yang jade and kept it in his new robes and hoped that he didn't lose it. How he wished he could use a storage bag right now. 

Seeing that there was nothing in the area, he walked towards the cliff to gather some fruit to eat. He was after all starting to get really hungry. When he reached the cliff, there were very few people there, only 3 at most. 

"Are they all asleep right now?" he wondered. It was late into the night and their mortal bodies probably couldn't handle the fatigue all they, so they had gone to rest for the day. As for these people awake right now, they probably hadn't had anything to eat all day and were really hungry. 

Alex was hungry too, so he could understand their sentiment. He picked up a stone from the ground and targeted one of the branches with multiple pears. He arched his arm back and released the stone with a massive swing. 

He hadn't used his full power, and yet the stone made a swish sound in the night, very audibly. Unfortunately, he missed. 

"Look out for the stone coming down," he cautioned them. It was especially hard to see the stones now in the moonlight when they were moving really fast. Once Alex heard the stone fall somewhere behind him, he picked another one and threw it up. 

He had to throw a couple of times to accurately hit the branch that was over 50 meters high above him, and even then, only 1 butterfly pear fell down towards him. 

He caught it and bit into it. Once more, juicy sweet nectar slid down his throat. He just couldn't get enough of it. The 3 disciples around him looked at him in envy, at the fact that he had only just arrived and was already eating something. 

They directed their anger towards the fruit and started throwing the stones harder. Alex could hear both the grunts and the growls the 3 disciples were doing. 

He ignored them and focused on hitting more of the fruits. After a few more tries, he managed to hit the branch once more and two more fruits fell down gently. 

He caught both of them and started eating another one. His hunger was starting to be satisfied, but the taste of the pears was so good that he started to want to overeat them.

The other 3 disciples were more than just jealous now, they were subconsciously thinking of how to get the food from him. Alex saw that too. So, before they could do anything, he spoke. 

"I have an extra fruit here, and I am willing to trade it," he said. 

"Trade?" the three disciples made a weird expression. "We can't access our storage bags, how do you want us to trade?" they asked. 

"Simple," Alex said as he brought out a Yang jade and showed it to them. "If you can find me one of these, I can give you this fruit," he said. 

The disciples looked at each other for a few seconds, making an awkward atmosphere, and then violently started laughing. "HAHAHAHA, What? Are you trying to be the boss?" they said with tears in their eyes from laughing too much.

Alex was not expecting this reaction from them. In his mind, they would either get angry, saying that they didn't have it, and order him to give it to them if he didn't want to get hurt.

Or get happy and show him a yang jade, in which case he would swap one with the food. But he never expected them to just laugh at him. This was a really weird incident. 

"What's going on? Why are you laughing? Do you not have these?" he asked. 

"Hahaha, Stop trying to act like you're the boss. We've already seen the boss before," one of them said.

"Haa, That might have worked on some poor newcomers, but us who have been here for a while now won't get so easily scammed. If you think you can swap the yang jade with us old ones for a single fruit, then you are mistaken boy," another one said. 

"It seems you don't know that the boss trades two fruits, instead of one for the yang jade," the third one said.

"Huh?" Alex was truly confused now. "What boss are you talking about? It seems you know what a yang jade is, so, will you swap it with me or not?" he asked. 

"Go away kid, we don't have any. If we did, we wouldn't be stuck here, trying to hit the fruits down," the first person spoke. "We could've just trades yang jades with the boss for food if we had one. We wouldn't be in this current predicament." 

Alex was really intrigued by the current information, so he said, "Give me information about this boss and I will give you this fruit." 

The three guys looked at him weirdly. "You want to know about the boss? We don't have much information about him," one of them said. 

"Give me any. This is my first time hearing about this boss and is really curious why he wants yang jades so much," Alex said.

"You really don't know anything about the boss?" the three asked in confusion. If he didn't know about the boss, why did he try to impersonate him? They were quite confused right now.

"No. I only came to the Forbidden Fields two days ago and I do not know much about this boss," Alex said. 

The three people's eyes went wide when they heard this. "If that is true, then… you really don't know about the boss?" They asked. 

Alex simply put forth the pear towards them and said, "Enough nonsense, do you know anything or not? I don't have time to waste on you people." 

"Wait, wait, wait, we will tell you. We will tell you about the boss," he exclaimed and continued, "It all started about a week and a half ago."
