“All the power of this world is in the hands of the sects. I think the strongest martial artist of Zenith Sun City is only in the innate level, and that it’s the city master of the Zenith Sun City, who’s in the intermediate stage of the innate level. The masters who are in the premium stage of the innate level or stronger than this level have remained in the sect. After all, only the sect has a large amount of resources to support their training. To be frank, Zenith Sun City is only a city of commoners.” Jack slowly nodded.
If the strongest people in this city were only in the intermediate stage of the innate level, that was fine for him. With this in mind, virtual-novel.net decided to bring Kylie out for fun. As long as virtual-novel.net was fully aware of his surroundings, trouble would not come to them.
Kylie was overjoyed when virtual-novel.net heard that virtual-novel.net father was bringing virtual-novel.net out to play. After all, virtual-novel.net was just a seven-year-old child. She still grew bored over time, even though virtual-novel.net was surrounded by virtual-novel.net relatives in the Mustard Seed.
Jack led Kylie out of the inn. The two of them did not go to the busiest streets. After all, that place was filled with people, and accidents were prone to happen. Jack merely led Kylie to a street nearby the inn.
Although this was not as busy as the main street, there were still many people who sold nice toys and delicious food. Kylie looked around happily as soon as virtual-novel.net got to the street. Although Kylie was young, virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net father was not rich after entering this world.
She did not ask for everything. Instead, virtual-novel.net only picked a couple of toys and food that had a midrange price. Jack touched Kylie’s head and said, You don’t need to be frugal because of me; they’re just a few toys and food. I’d be doing a poor job if I can’t even pay for you.“
Kylie knew that virtual-novel.net father was joking with virtual-novel.net and happily chirped, “I’m not saving money for you. I like these small toys more! Those expensive ones might not be fun nor delicious.”
The father-daughter pair happily chatted away when a wave of disturbance suddenly happened in front of them. Jack frowned as virtual-novel.net pulled Kylie behind him. He looked up and saw a person in tattered clothes and spells on his face stumbling out of an alleyway.
This person looked really pitiful. Their clothes were in stripes as if they had gone through some whipping punishment, turning virtual-novel.net into how they were. That person also had black curses carved on their face. These curses looked like earthworms that were alive and crawled all over their face. It looked bizarre and horrifying at the same time.
This person’s face was covered by the black curses, making it difficult to distinguish if this individual was a man or woman. Everyone else scattered at the sight of this person as though they had seen the plague
Kylie stood behind Jack and stretched out virtual-novel.net small hand to pull on his sleeve. “That person looks so pitiful, Father. What happened to him? Why does virtual-novel.net have that thing all over his face?”
Jack slightly frowned. He would have had the intention to investigate this matter any other day, but Kylie was with virtual-novel.net at that moment. He would not look into what was happening if virtual-novel.net had such thoughts.
He stretched out his hand and pulled Kylie. It did not matter why that person appeared here. In Jack’s opinion, this place had become a place of gossip, and virtual-novel.net did not want to remain any longer. However, just as virtual-novel.net wanted to pull Kylie away, the person with spells all over their face suddenly raised their head. A hint of hopefulness suddenly appeared in their grey eyes when they saw Kylie.
They staggered toward Jack as they whimpered, “I beg you, please, save me. I’ve been pitiful all this while, being their captive for many years! They keep starving me! Can I have a bite of the food in your hands?”
