Chapter 1110: Myrth: 80

(Unedited)

…

Who would have known that the leader of that group which attacked him a while ago would be in this place drinking with his buddies? Xin Ja's face twitched a bit because of the absurdity of the situation. It was like he did not value the lives of his subordinates at all.

Xin Ja sneered and did not walk up the restaurant, but instead go to an alley a few distances away from that place.

He quickly jumped on the roof and then lies prone on it while taking out his newly remodeled Ki buster. He then carefully takes an aim without using any scope and just uses his sharp eyesight. Even though it is dark, he could still see the figure of his target happily laughing and drinking his fill.

"Hehe… Do you think that I am that easy to bully? I hope that in your next life, you will think twice before trying to kill anyone… You might think that I could not recognize you… but from your smell and your tone, I already know that you… you are the leader of that group." Xin Ja muttered to himself as a smirk appears inside his mask.

It was as if he is trying to justify himself for what he is about to do.

Bang!

A loud explosion echoed through the night and startled everyone in the surroundings.

"Eeek!!!" someone shouted from the restaurant and everyone saw the bloody figure of a man lying in his own pool of blood.

No one expected that a 5th level Ki fighter would just die like that without even a fight.

Everyone around him is looking at the corpse with disbelief in their eyes. It was just a while ago that they were talking and laughing when suddenly the guy in front of them suddenly fall. They thought that he was too drunk that it made him pass out.

But then when they saw the blood pouring out from his head, they knew that the guy is already dead. And it was as if his head was pierced by something.

No one dare to touch the body as they waited for the authorities to come and handle the case as soon as possible. At this time, many people are already crowding in front of the restaurant.

"What just happened?"

"I think that guy offended the heavens and was hit by a lightning strike."

"What? What do you mean by that?"

"I mean, there was the sound of thunder from afar and then he suddenly fell with a hole on his head. How could you explain that other than heaven's punishment?"

"Shut up! Don't you know who that man is? He is from the Ji family… so you should not spout any nonsense…"

"Humph… The noble families are just bullies… I think this is the way the heavens are looking at us, common people…"

The rowdy discussion from the crowd made everyone feel that what happened to the guy is truly mysterious and very unnerving. This is true especially to those that have done a lot of things that could not be spoken.

When the town guards and the authorities came, they began to check the body of the man. And from there they noticed that something is lodged on his head. When they recovered it, it was actually a piece of dented metal that seemed to have been crushed because of head and strong impact force.

The supposed to be ball turned into an undistinguishable metal upon being taken out of the head of the man.

When the coroner saw this, they look at each other and they themselves began to believe the discussion outside. It might surely be a lightning strike from the heavens. But they dare not say it out loud so that their superiors would not berate them.

"What do you think this is?" asked a town's officer.

"Hmm… Loud thunderous sound… I think I've heard such noise not too long ago within the city… And the sky looks gloomy. But then I have not seen any lightning strikes…"

"It might be a Ki attack…"

"Do you know anyone who can use such attacks? Even a 10th level Ki fighter could not do such a thing…"

"This is truly a baffling scene… Sigh. Will this be included in those unsolvable cases we have in town…"

The officers discussed while they observe the deformed metal and the scene in front of them.

While this is happening, Xin Ja, on the other hand, has already entered the materials store. In the store, there are tons of fire crystals lying on a shelf. Fire crystals are used for either cooking or illumination. But who would have thought that once fire crystal is combined with a harmless dried sun weed which is usually used for curing colds and making the body warm in cold weather, it would turn into an explosive material?

Plus the explosion would depend on the amount of Ki used to ignite it. The more the Ki, the powerful the blast is.

But of course, Xin Ja would not dare do such a thing as he spent a lot of his time getting the special materials, Ice dragon scale, and Metallic frost ore.

"I would like to buy all of your fire crystals…" Xin Ja said as he handed his payment to the person behind the counter.

This made the person behind the counter show joy in his face. How could he not feel happy? These fire crystals are just gathering dust in his store. So getting rid of them and earning some money, is such a blessing for him.

"Haha… You're on your buying spree again I see… Alright… here you go, I already gave you a discount for it, the total is… 2 gold."

After paying, Xin Ja just nodded his head and take his merchandise.

"Thank you, Sir! Come again next time!" he said with a wide smile.

He has seen this masked man before and he knew that the guy is a regular customer in his shop.

After Xin Ja left, he did not go around the night market anymore and quickly return home.

Unknown to him, a shadow watching from afar quickly turn around and left when he enters the Xin residence in secret.

…

In the town hall, the Office of Xin Jong

Xin Jong is currently busy signing and working on the few parchments on his table. He has a lot of things to do these days, especially to the incoming War Games. In Ogden town, there are three participants.

The first one is the Ogden Academy, which is the number one academy in the town. Then the second one is the Yellow Python martial school, and the last one is the Red Valley alchemy school. The two schools have their own specialty, but they too have students from other occupations. Hence the three schools were qualified to join the War Games.

As part of the city garrison and the one assisting the town's guards and protection, Xin Jong would be going with the participants in the War Games.

While looking at the lists and the papers in front of him, he heaves a deep sigh.

"Xin Ja could have been one of these students… But I did not expect that some of the students would do that to him…" Xin Jong muttered but then he suddenly chuckled.

"Haha… Who am I kidding?! No matter how he changes, people would always look at him like he is some weakling…" he said with a frown.

Then the person seated on the sofa relaxing while reading a book turn his head and then said.

"They would always look down on that little nephew of mine. But ever since I came to visit you and saw him, I knew that he is different. There is something mysterious about him…" the man said with a deep contemplating on his handsome face.

This man has a slight resemblance with Xin Jong which only shows that the guy is somewhat related to the Xin family.

"Cousin… What do you think? Will the family interfere with us? With me and Xin Ja?" Xin Jong asked.

"Heh, You worry too much… Ever since they knew that your strength came back they just sent me to check your condition and offer the peace offering. I told them that they should not expect anything as your strength has stopped growing…" the man said with a smile.

"The family believes that for now... You've helped me a lot… thank you."

"Hey, hey… What is this? You're treating me like a stranger now… We've always stuck with each other through thick and thin ever since. If only I could have known what had happened those few years ago, I should not have let you run away… Sigh…"

"You are in the war, remember? Anyway, if not because of that, I could not have Xin Ja. Talking about that kid, what do you think of my decision to support him?"

"You did the right thing... Let the kid decide about his future… Plus… I am more interested in those contraptions of his. The more I observe that nephew of mine, the more I admire his creativity… Truly fascinating…"

"Hmm… Well, I just hope that you can continue observing him in secret."

"Don't worry… unless it is life and death, then I will not interfere as you said…"

"By the way, Jong… When will you get your wife back?"
