13 Earth(13)

Zale left the palace, and opened his eyes under water. Zale looked around the water, and everything seemed clear to him. Before he needed to illuminate the whole cavern with light to be able to see everything that the cavern held. Now his eyes could see as clear as day through the murky dark water. Zale knew it must've been a benefit of cultivation. Zale couldn't even feel the water pressure on his body.

As Zale took this all in he decided to start swimming up to the surface. Swimming up was no hassle to him, as he could get along with the marine life, and ask for a lift up to his boat. However when Zale got up to the surface he found no boat. Zale assumes it must've gone of somewhere into the ocean due to him being gone for so long. So he decided that he would ride a whale back as close as he could to the US.

Hours went passed by and he finally reached a place where the whale could go no further, so he jumped off from the whale into the water. The sun was was going down, but Zale's eyes still saw clearly. Zale decided to test the limits of the cultivator on Earth, and decided to swim to the United States. Zale swam for 2 days with breaks taken on marine life. Zale finally started to see shore, and sped up his pace reaching land. When Zale got to the land, he was instantly recognized for who he was. Few did not know about the great Zale Nereus. Everyone knew about his great achievements he brought about to the human population and gawked at the young teen. Zale took no notice of this, and called a taxi in his wet clothing.

The taxi arrived, and asked if he had any form of payment as he looked at he drenched clothing Zale wore. Zale told the driver how he did not have any form of payment currently on him so he would pay him later. The driver took of ruthlessly and never turned back. Zale decided it was best to just run on to the airport in California since he wouldn't get tired. One hour after that he was running faster than most cars in traffic, and made it to the airport.

There at the airport he went to his own business airline called "Orca Air". When he walked up to the receptionist for first class ticketed sale, everyone looked confused as to who this young teen won messy hair and stained clothing was. The receptionist was a middle aged man that held an arrogant look.

When the receptionist saw Zale walking up like a beggar he said arrogantly, "Stupid kid, Get out of here. Our first class tickets aren't meant for the poor. Go beg somewhere else."

Zale right now could not be recognized since many photos online were taken of him when barely he getting out of the water leading to being recognized by many, but after running to the airport in stained crinkly clothing, messy hair, and no shoes led to Zale not being recognized.

Zale didn't want to bother with this man, and looked over to the young lady on the left. He walked up to her hoping that he would be given reliable service.

The young ladies name was Mary, and she was going through some hard times currently. Mary was a college student at The college called Marine Institution of Technology. She was having a hard time paying bills for college and needed to work frequently for Orca Air to be able to meet ends meet. When Mary saw this young messy teen walk up to her she had no hope, but decided to talk to him since she was in desperate needs. She asked the young man, "How can I help you?"

Zale was happy that someone didn't look down on him and decided to help this young woman out with whatever she needed. Zale answered, "I'd like to get a first class flight from California to Florida as soon as possible."

"Okay. That'll be $700" said Mary.

"Well...I don't have that money on me right now now, but if you call your manager I can get the flight settled out" said Zale as he scratched his head.

Mary looked doubtfully at this young teen, but decided to gamble on it anyways. Something told her that this young man wasn't simple. Mary decided to to go to the back and grab her manager.

"Mary don't listen to his brat, and just ignore him. There's no way he can afford that kind of ticket" said Steven the angry middle aged man.

Mary decided to ignore him, and walked to the back and grab her manager. Her manager was fuming with anger for being bothered about this since he assumed that he was being bothered by something small, and would fire Mary if it was nothing important. The manager walked out from the back and looked around to find the teen that Mary was talking about. When he saw the teen he was shocked. While the teen was messy, and gave off the vibe of a beggar, he knew better. He once met Zale before and was fascinated by the young teen. The manager was glad Mary reported to him, so he could deal with the president of his company.

Mary saw the sudden change in the managers eye and knew she bet correctly.

The manager suddenly said, "Hello Mr. President. Can i please you with anything?"

Steven suddenly lashed out, "Are you playing a joke on us manager. How can this beggar be any president."

The manager's face filled with black lines and he yelled out, "Steven I have kept you work here for a long time, and if you don't apologize to the President, I will fire you."

Steven yelled back arrogantly, "I'm not apologizing to some messy random teen."

The manager was flaming with fumes and yelled with his whole voice, "Steven I cannot deal with your actions today. I'm done with you. YOU'RE FIRED!" Then the manager turned back to look at Zale and said while bowing, "President Zale, I hope you can forgive this mere manager for having you witness this managers employee behave his way to you. I hope you can forgive me for my mistake."

Everyone was taken back by the managers statement. Nobody could believe that this messy teen was the legendary Zale Nereus.

"I'm glad you recognize me" said Zale, "I hope you can arrange a flight to Florida for me."

The manager was happy Zale was not mad and said respectfully, "Yes, this manager will personally arrange this. I hope you forgive this one for taking a few hours to get your flight arranged."

Zale turned to look at the young lady called Mary and asked her, "Taking the customers request seriously is always a must for our airline. Can I get your name and occupation?"

Mary was astounded that Zale turned to look at her and said, "I go to the Marine Institution of Technology and I am currently in my sophomore year there."

"Good" said Zale, "I'll have it arranged for your whole college to be payed off with some extra money to be given to you."

Mary was so happy when she heard that and was ecstatic for what Zale said. Then she heard her manager say, "Why have you not thanked the President for his actions yet."

Mary bowed as best as she could and said happily, "Thank you Mr. President!"

"Don't worry about it. I'll just wait for my flight to be arranged and you can find me on

those benches over there" said Zale pointing to some benches nearby. Zale walked over the the benches and waited for his flight so he could set in stone his plan before he left Earth.
