The crowd of Gonk's fans went silent. My profound words had them amazed.
"That can't be! Look at him!"
"Right! Look at those brand-less clothes! They're all sewed with patches, and they're all ripped up. We can see his torn up skin!"
"He looks so dirty. I don't think he even bathes."
"Gonk can't have a brother this ugly. It's impossible! We should wipe out his ugliness from this beautiful world!"
"But what if what he said was true? What if he was Gonk's brother? Wouldn't Gonk hate us? He'd show us his smoldering sexy glare again! Let's kill this guy!"
"That's not the important part, you guys! He knew Gonk's nickname. Goku, was it? That does sound befitting of Gonk. How did he know Gonk's nickname?!"
"Right?! We need to get better sources! How could we not know Gonk's nickname!"
"But he could be lying sisters! Look at him! Really now?!"
"We can't be sure about what he says, Sister Miley. But he does have a point. We can't just storm into the Sentient Beasts' territory without harming Gonk or ourselves. We can't trouble the righteous sects with more issues now too. We are already losing to the Sentient Beasts. We won't let him off if he is lying!"
"Fine! But I get to go first! That bastard! If he's lying, I'll…"
"We can't call him that until we're sure, Miley! If what he says has any truth then he really may be the lost brother of the Son of Heaven."
"Che. I still don't trust him, Jiselle."
An angel came to my rescue. She cut off Sister Miley and defended me. Was this fate? She must be in love with me. Oh! Is this how it feels being a great a Son of Heaven? Number Two always had to burst my bubble and answer my rhetorical question.
"You mean fake, right? A fake brother of the real Son of Heaven? We're going to die! Your lies have gotten us too deep! There's no hope of going back now, Number One."
Wow. I think this was the first time I heard Number Two weep.
"I wasn't crying! I'm lamenting my fate tied with you!"
Ha! He tried to hide it.
"It's okay to cry Number Two! Screw the stupid expectations that men can't cry! We have emotions too! Real men cry! Come on now. Holler it out. Ugly cry, go on."
"…"
There goes Number Two, so old fashioned. I'm a real man. I cry everytime.
"By the gods you do. It's becoming a bad habit, Number One! You need to grow a spine."
Ignoring the conservative ramblings of the backwards Number Two, I focused on what I needed to do. Act and perform for Gonk's fans.
"Sisters! What are you waiting for? How can you call yourselves true fans if you leave Gonk suffering at the hands of those two despicable fox women! We must act now! There isn't a moment to lose!"
I rallied the crowd. My glamourous acting swayed them. But that damn Sister Miley was getting in my way. She jumped in front of me and tried to take my spotlight!
"Yes! We must save Gonk. Let's seek help! Let's bring Gonk's brother and have him explain what happened to the Sword Blossom Sect."
She looked back at me with an evil look in her eye.
"I'm sure the strict and rigid Sect Master Gray will be able to help Gonk. His wisdom will see through all and help bring Gonk back to us. He will punish ALL the perpetrators! The violators of our rules will be dismembered!"
This wench was threatening me! I was not going to be outshone by this Number Two replica. Screw you, Miley! I took back my stage!
"Yes! I agree with Sister Miley! We must have Sect Master Gray help us and give punishment! I'm sure he will help his friend, Sect Master Monk, and bring back his son, Gonk. Not only that! He will punish those that dared to question Sect Master Gray's bloodline!"
"Hmpf! Fine! Let's go immediately. Let's see who gets punished!"
She dashed to me and picked me up like I was paper. Why was this woman so strong?! She carried me by her side as I dangled from her arm.
"You call yourself the brother of Gonk! You're so light, you don't even qualify to be a man. You should call yourself his sister instead!"
This revolting woman! Never have I been so degraded!
"Ha! Coming from the manly muscular woman carrying me? I may be scrawny, but no woman would be able to pick me up so easily! Grow some breasts first you flat-chested muscle woman!"
CRACK!
"You bastard! I'm going to kill you!"
"Ow she broke my back! Sisters! Help this brother of Gonk's! This evil witch is trying to kill me!"
This damn evil Miley! She squeezed my waist so tightly my back cracked. I prayed I didn't have any permanent damage. Number One's voice rang in my head.
"Actually, it felt rather nice Number One, and her skin is so soft. There was a bit of discomfort in our lower area. She should become a chiropractor. She seems to have a talent for it."
This damn Number Two. An evil witch helping people? Bah! She had bad intentions! But I let it go, because I was once again saved by my angel, Jiselle.
I looked up and the wind brushed her glossy black hair back as it fluttered in the air. The smooth porcelain face of an innocent yet graceful beauty glimmered in the strands of sunlight. Her large round green eyes softly gazed at me and my pitiful plight. With her lush red lips, she helped me reprimand that monster, Miley.
"Miley. Stop trying to harm him. Put aside your differences. We must save Gonk."
Yep. That shut her up. I gave a grin at Miley. I smirked then laughed at her. Not only had she had to stop her foul comments, she had the honor of carrying the great me back to Hond City and then to the Sword Blossom Sect.
However, that evil-minded Miley returned back to her evil ways. No matter, even after being reprimanded by my angel, Miley bickered with me all the way to Hond City and to the gates of the Sword Blossom Sect.
"Skeleton man-sister!"
"Flat-chested muscle woman!"
"Where is the Son of Heaven?! Where is Gonk?!"
A guard from the entourage protecting Gonk earlier shouted. He stood with his possy by the large imposing gates of the Sword Blossom Sect. Number Two was a worrywort and expressed his concerns in my mind.
"How are you going to pull this off?! You aren't capable of swindling this many people! Especially the Sword Blossom Sect! We need to run away!"
Such cowardness was unbefitting of me, the brother of the Son of Heaven. I did not pay any attention to the chicken-like comments of Number Two. I will make these guards and the Sword Blossom Sect bow down to my greatness.
"Guards! Come help your master's long lost brother remove this hateful woman! She dared to touch the divine body that shares the same blood as your master!"
The guards looked at me in astonishment. They understood my greatness, unlike the vile woman, whose arm I hanged from.
"Is this man really the brother of the Son of Heaven?!" Miley hatefully protested against me.
There was hesitation and odd faces. I needed to convince them fast.
"Did you all forget our purpose here today?! Sect Master Monk gave an important mission for my brother to complete."
I pried Miley's arm off of me and gallantly stood in a refined pose. The shocked faces of the guards let me know my assumptions were indeed correct. I knew Number Two was going to shout.
"You guessed?! What if you were wrong! You're too much!"
What Number Two meant to say was that I was ballsy. I continued on.
"What you didn't know was that my brother had two goals today! To meet Sect Master Gray and to meet me, his long lost brother! Furthermore you do not know, but Brother Gonk has given me orders to complete his mission in his stead. His last words whispered to my ears before being taken away by two cunning fox women were to, "hand the white satchel to Sect Master Gray."
A deathly pale look filled all the faces of the guards.
"Master Gonk was taken by the Sentient Beasts?! How! What happened?! And where is that satchel! We will all be killed if you lost it?! Where is it?! Why don't I see it?!"
Whoa. Seems like these guards did really know what was going on. Number Two spoke to me through my mind.
"See! You see how dangerous that bag of Soul Crystal is now? Even the guards are fearing for their life. Be careful how you go on from this point!"
"Jeez. Of course! I know what I'm doing. Shut up and watch the show." I cleared my throat and commanded the guards the way a Son of Heaven would.
"Gonk told me to keep it in a safe place for now. We must get help from the Sword Blossom Sect first and rescue Gonk. We can take back the satchel on the way later."
The guards did not know what to say. I had to play my part and keep up this ruse.
"You there. The one just talking to me. Give me a spare change of clothes and we shall go meet the sect master of the Sword Blossom sect."
Miley squinted her beady eyes and started accusing me.
"You're trying to run away! I won't be fooled!"
"Then come with me. You can undress me, wash me, and put on clean robes for me. You should be honored by the chance to witness the body of the brother of Gonk, the Son of Heaven."
Miley shrieked. And pointed at my face.
"Pervert! Hentai! Scum! Get away from me!"
I was offended, but I did not lose my godlike demeanor. This is how it is done Number Two! Marvel at the greatness that is me, Number One! A deep chesty voice came from the gates of the Sword Blossom Sect.
"All of you come into the Sword Blossom Sect! My father, Sect Master Gray, is aggrieved at all of these unfortunate events. He has heard word of your conversation, relayed to him at the High Palace."
I was panicking inside. I was looking at my other benefactor. He had gifted me all his items and clothes that day he went drinking. I prayed he did not recognize me.
"And you. Skinny non-cultivator. Follow me."
I gulped. Miley looked at me with a grin, enjoying my impending doom. The others moved and I had no choice but to follow after the large burly man that I once stripped butt naked and nearly sold off all his belongings.
I tried to make my presence as little as possible as I walked behind and to the side of my first benefactor. He seemed to eye me, and I was sweating nervously. But I still kept my back straight and head high as I walked.
"Have we met somewhere before?"
