The Play of Destiny - 1

Niloy was amused by his reaction; he felt he could use him. "Then I will trouble you."

"I want you to send people to every hotel and tavern to check if they were there." After that, he walked away. "In the meantime, I will talk to some guards."

"Didn't you hear him? Go check every hotel!" Jacob shouted at his men.

While they were searching the hotels, NIloy had already gathered information from the guards.

He was currently sitting on a bench and rubbing his chin. 'So, Gale was bullied by everyone. Today he led them into the forest, and right after that, it all started.'

'And he didn't seem to have left the town, as no guards saw him. He also doesn't have much connection with anyone in the town.'

'So, where he could be?' Niloy racked his brains and couldn't find anything.

However, when he was about to give up, he remembered the guards telling him he would go somewhere in the morning and come home late, and at the start of the month he brought a bag with him early in the morning.

'He might have done some job.' The more Niloy thought of this theory, the more he felt it was right. 'And the cause of this whole event might be his salary.'

'Yes, this is it.' He stood up and went to look for where Gale and Jasmine worked.

...

"Guys, I am back." Greg came back after collecting all the blood.

"Thanks, Greg." Gale, who was sitting with Aldeinne, Greg's son; stood up.

"Brother," Suddenly, Aldeinne grabbed his hand. "Can I also become like that in the future?"

He was talking about the things Gale told him. How strong cultivators are and what they could do. Gale filled this small kid's mind with all kinds of fantasy.

"Yes, I believe in you." Gale rubbed his head with a smile. "I will be waiting for you in the future."

"Hehehe. Brother, don't slack off then." Aldeinne smiled at him, showing his white teeth.

Gale just smiled and went to check on the blood.

Greg asked, looking at the jar full of blood and body parts on the side.

"It is more than enough," Gale said, and he went to push the cart to the backyard.

At the same time, Jasmine called Greg and Aldeinne. "You guys, go wash yourself. I have made lunch already."

"Yea!!" Aldeinne sprinted inside the house.

Greg smiled at seeing his son like that. 'Lily, our son finally has smiled after so long. I hope you are watching him from above.'

In the backyard, Gale was sitting cross-legged.

In front of him were the blood jars and body parts. He gave a small exhale first, then inhaled heavily. All the blood essence flew into his nose and mouth. It started to quench his body and refine it.

Slowly but surely, his bones started to change color from white to slightly golden.

A few minutes later, he stopped, as he had sucked the blood essences dry. Gale felt an unknown strength inside. Like he could kill anyone with just a normal punch. His body was now filled with energy.

'Interface.' Gale chanted in his mind.

[ Remarks: Host, your combat strength doesn't match your cultivation realm. So this is a new feature. But don't be excited as there is still a long road ahead. ]

He ignored the remarks and focused on the rest. 'It was indeed the best choice to cultivate the body technique.'

He was quite satisfied with the increase in strength. Then he smelt a sudden nasty smell. He looked down and saw black goo all over his body. He knew what it was—the impurities in his body.

He was amazed, as it meant his physique was also improving. 'This technique is too good.'

After washing himself up he went to eat lunch as they would shortly. Because they can't stay here. If they were caught, it might bring harm to Greg's family.

While they were done eating, Niloy, Jacob, and his men arrived in front of Greg's shop. However, the crowds were much larger as the parents of other kids came with their own men.

"As I guessed." Niloy wasn't disappointed to see the shop closed but was happy as it meant he was right.

He looked behind him and told everyone. "Let's go to Greg's house."

They all sprinted as fast as they could.

...

"Goodbye, Brother Gale, and Sister Jasmine." Aldeinne stood beside the door and waved his hands at them.

Gale and Jasmine also waved their hands back.

Gale shouted."I will be waiting!"

"Take care, you little devil." Jasmine also shouted back.

After their silhouettes could no longer be seen, Aldeinne and Greg entered the house.

Aldeinne, from the corner of his eyes, saw a double-edged short sword on the table. He went to pick it up and saw a small note attached to the handle.

-A small gift from Brother Gale and Sister Jasmine-

Greg rubbed his son's head and smiled. "Looks like they have high hopes for you."

Aldeinne said with regulation."I will not disappoint them."

"Good." Greg was just about to go wash the dishes when suddenly he heard the sound of someone knocking on his door.

He thought they might have left something, so they have come back. He went to open the door.

THud

He just grabbed the doorknob when it suddenly flung open on its own. Which made him crash down on the table, where the sword was.

"Where is that bastard!" Jacob came in screaming at the top of his lungs.

He looked around but didn't find anyone, but when he looked at the sword on Aldeinne's arm and the so many unwashed plates he knew they have came to the right place.

He growled and walked toward Greg, who was coughing up blood and groaning in pain. "Tell me where they are?"
