Without feeling it, three days passed.
At the headquarters of the City B branch's Mystery Department, which could now be referred to as the Dark Wings Group ... Adam sat in his room staring straight at the boy sitting in front of him.
"A-Did I make a mistake, Master?"
Hearing the voice of the frightened boy, Adam awoke from his daydream. Rubbing his chin, he looked at Nam who looked nervous. After a long sigh, the young man said casually.
"You didn't do anything wrong, Nam. You don't have to sit on the floor. Just sit in the chair."
"S-I feel more comfortable here, Master!"
"..."
Hearing Nam's words, Adam was silent for a moment.
"I just wanted to ask you how you are doing. Are you all right? You're starting school now.
Is there any difficulty? Or are there children who try to be ignorant and make things difficult for you?"
"Everything's fine, Master! My friends are very good with me. I feel so happy to go to school!"
"Then be thankful."
Adam nodded lightly.
"If there are problems at school, or require fees and other things. You have to tell me, okay?"
"This disciple understands, Master!"
"Here, I also want to discuss something important."
"Something that matters?"
"Yes." Yeah." Adam nodded. "That's a matter of the gift book from your mother."
"Book ... from mom?"
Saying that, Nam's body involuntarily trembled.
"Yes. That book." Adam did not hide it. "Actually, I had a chance to meet some Sect members who seemed to have fallen. Azure Cloud Sect .. the place where your mother might have come from."
"Place ... Mother's from?"
"Do you know, Nam. It's possible that your mother wasn't an ordinary human being at all."
"Guru Means ..."
"He's a Cultivator just like a Teacher."
Hearing Adam's words, a surprised expedition appears on Nam's face.
"Mother ... I feel that Mother is not at all as strong as you, Master."
"Cultivators are also divided into several levels. Not all Cultivators were strong, but they were clearly more special than ordinary humans. So ..."
Adam stopped talking. Looking at Nam who was gawking and didn't seem to understand too much, he could only smile bitterly. After all, those things seem too complicated for a little kid like Nam.
"The bottom line is, I feel that both of your parents didn't just die of illness. Most likely ... they were savagely killed by his opponent!"
"D-Killed???"
Looking at the trembling Nam in fear, Adam could not help but sigh deeply.
Clear ... This kid is too scared.
Instead of entertaining, Adam even directly hit the iron while hot. Saying a reality that could be considered too harsh for a child.
"Because that man killed both your parents. It's weird that he let you go. In other words ...
You should be more careful. Besides, you should also practice more diligently."
"..."
Seeing Nam who was just silent, Adam immediately explained.
"It's not because Master is afraid or doesn't want to protect you, Nam. Master said this because Master won't always be by your side."
"I understand, Teacher." Nam nodded with a stern expression. "What makes me think isn't that, Master."
"Then?"
"I just thought. If the other party did kill both of my parents, wouldn't it .. wouldn't I have to avenge both of my parents?
However ... yet I am too weak to even be able to take care of myself!"
"Just calm down, Master will protect you. Master will also teach you so that you can become a strong Cultivator and can take care of yourself."
"I ... Cultivators like Master?"
"Your mother is a Cultivator, so you can also become a Cultivator.
Coupled with the help of Master (and your talent) .. You will definitely become a great Cultivator!
So, have you decided? Do you want to take the path that is considered difficult .... It might even put your life in danger?!"
"S-I'm ready, Master!" answer Nam firmly.
"Good! But for now, you should focus more on physical exercise and learning. Remember ...
It's all time, so you can't rush!"
Looking at the smiling figure of Adam behind his mask, Nam nodded with an expression full of earnestness.
"This disciple understands, Master!"
***
In the afternoon.
Sitting in the lounge overlooking the backyard garden of the headquarters, Adam enjoyed a cup of tea. Looking ahead, there were two figures sitting opposite to him. Both of them were wearing traditional purple clothes with silver lines.
They were Lei Fan and Lei Na.
"So ... what do you need to come visit from far away?"
Hearing Adam's question, the two looked at each other. Initially, Lei Fan was a bit hesitant, but seeing the serious expression on Lei Na's face, he finally let out a short sigh before saying softly.
"Actually, we're here to ask you something important, Mr. Owl."
"No need to doubt." Adam shook his head lightly. "Tell me."
After saying that, Adam sipped some tea. Waiting for the two calmly. Not in a hurry at all.
Despite wearing a half-face mask (which covered the top of his face), Adam could still eat and drink without difficulty. Not to mention the craftsman-made masks of the Thunder Fang Sect were very convenient to use and not heavy.
The mask is made with almost the same material as a katana and two daggers. Perhaps the difference was simply because it did not use the 'tusk' of the Rose Pattern Blood Spider.
Adam's new weapon was indeed light, but it was sturdier and no less sharp than ordinary tempering iron. Because the weapon was made with special materials.
Although Adam paid to make the weapon, he still felt the sincerity of the craftsman. Thus, the young man felt that he still had a debt of gratitude to the Thunder Fang Sect.
So, Adam accepted Lei Fan and Lei Na sincerely. If he could help, he would not hesitate to help both of them. Merely, the young man felt that they seemed hesitant.
"We want to ask. Because you can make nutritional pills and healing pills. Could it be that you can also make a pill to detoxify poisons, Mr Owl?"
"Pil detoxification poison?"
"Yes." Yeah." Lei Fan nodded. "Our teachers were poisoned. If it can't find an antidote to the poison, not just lose its cultivation, he ..."
Without needing to hear their entire story, Adam learns that teacher Lei Fan and Lei Na are in danger. Because of their kindness, of course he would not be stingy to the two of them.
Pretending to take something out of his pocket, Adam took out three poison detoxification pills from the items bag. It was a pill that the young man learned not too long ago. Although not much, the young man prepared enough. In anticipation of having to fight a creature with a poison that might endanger him.
Adam then put the pill into a small porcelain bottle and closed it.
If asked where Adam got the porcelain bottle from, the answer was he bought a lot because he needed to use it as a pill container to be sold. Since it could not be stored in the items bag, he put the stock in the headquarters. More precisely in the room and some in the lounge.
Putting a small porcelain bottle in front of Lei Fan and Lei Na, Adam then said.
"Although it cannot detoxify any kind of poison. At the very least, these three pills will make your teacher better."
"I–It ..."
"As a pill maker, of course I also prepared some detoxification pills. After all, careful preparation can prevent bad things from happening while on a mission."
Hearing the logical explanation from Adam, Lei Fan and Lei Na nodded.
"Research price—"
Before Lei Fan said, Adam immediately interrupted.
"Take it and take it. Think of it as gratitude for helping me forge weapons."
Seeing the two smiling, Adam shook his head lightly. Even though he wanted money, the young man still had a principle, which was ...
Never forget the kindness of others!
