Adam drove the car away from City B. As Lei Fan got better after taking the healing pills and the nutrition pills, he felt he had to make things clear first.
“So ... what is your reason for deceiving Lei Na who trusts you so much?”
On the edge of a forest far from City B, Adam stops and questions the unconscious Clara.
“S-I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Owl. I-”
“Enough.” Adam shook his head lightly. “Don't think of me as good as Lei Fan or Lei Na. If you don't talk .. I don't mind doing worse than what those Evil Cultivators did.”
“I ..”
Seeing how Clara was still reluctant to say, without further ado Adam got out of the car and dragged the girl out with him.
“A-What will you do?” Clara stuttered when she saw Adam pull out a dagger.
Adam directly pushed the girl down to the ground then looked at her with a cold expression. It looked so indifferent as if it was not staring at a human, but rather an animal that was ready to be slaughtered.
“S-I had to do it. I'm forced!”
“That wound ... what exactly happened?” ask Adam.
“A rude man named Obi who was the leader of the group who hurt me. He then stuffed the eggs of a strange-looking small insect into the wound.
I can't do anything because the egg just disappeared when it went into the wound and came with the bloodstream.”
“You're a smart man, Clara. You shouldn't lie like that.”
“A-What I say is the truth. I-”
THE PLAQUE!
Adam slapped the figure of Clara with an indifferent look.
“What you said is true. But not complete. Also ... You don't look panicked at all when there's a Darkblood Caterpillar egg in your body.
Though ... you should know what will happen to the people who become the container of the creature. You don't look confused at all, let alone scared. You didn't tell Lei Na about it at all. You didn't tell me either. So …
What deal did you actually make with that guy named Obi?”
Hearing what Adam deduced only from his own attitude and answer, Clara looked surprised. After being shocked .. he became even more afraid. The fear of the red masked figure would completely finish him off from dissatisfaction.
“S-I ... I want to be a Cultivator!” exciting Clara.
“En?”
The answer made Adam seem confused. Looking at the expression of the girl who was so serious made him feel a bit strange.
“I've told you, Miss Clara. I give you the opportunity to take the entrance trial to the Thunder Fang Sect after I complete the transaction with Senior Owl.”
Lei Fan who was sitting in the back seat of the car said softly. Despite still looking pale and sickly, the young man looked better than when Adam picked him up.
“I know it!” exclaimed Clara with a depressed expression.
“Then why?” asked the confused Lei Fan.
“There's no harm in trying, Miss Clara. While the power ... all need process.”
“I need certainty!” said Clara.
“Tell me .. what deal did you do with that man named Obi.”
Adam cut the conversation off coldly.
“Obi can guarantee I become a Cultivator and become strong quickly,” muttered Clara.
“Explain everything,” said Adam.
“Actives ..”
Clara began to tell her story. After hearing from beginning to end, Lei Fan and Lei Na looked at each other and frowned. Instead, Adam still looked indifferent.
According to what Clara told me. At first the girl was almost arrested and taken away. But Obi had another thought: to free him and use Clara to share information that Lei Fan was caught, making the figure of ‘Owl’ have to come out of the nest.
At first Clara is scared and refuses, but if captured, as a beautiful woman. In the end, the girl gritted her teeth before asking if she could become a Cultivator.
Obi laughed and said that anyone can become a Cultivator. Only, they have their own ways and paths. When the man stuffed the Darkblood Caterpillar eggs in order for Clara to not escape, she also told him important information.
As long as Clara's mission was successful, aside from removing the Darkblood Caterpillar from her body, she could also join their Evil Cultivator faction. The girl could also meet their leader and become a real Cultivator. It's just …
There must be a price he needs to pay.
There were many evil Cultivator techniques and he needed to choose his own. So, Clara finally chose to agree with what Obi wanted.
The mission is actually very simple. It was contacting the Thunder Fang Sect to inform Lei Fan that he had disappeared and was waiting for a reaction from them. Sure enough, what appeared was actually just Lei Na, Lei Fan's own half-sister.
Because it is safe, Clara's next mission is to make Lei Na meet with Owl and invite him to search for Lei Fan's whereabouts. If Owl's side has agreed, Clara will head to the final stage of escorting Owl and Lei Na to the location.
After Owl and Lei Na get out of the car and head to the location, Clara has to call Obi and report what happened to the two. Whether they go together or apart, their strategies, and such.
However, Clara did not realize that Adam had known his movements were actually quite suspicious. In the end, Obi who received the wrong information was rather careless and was fooled by Adam.
“S-I've said everything.” Clara said with a frightened look on her face.
“Why are you interested in becoming an Evil Cultivator, Miss Clara? They are not good people at all and do a lot of cruel things,” said Lei Na who looked confused.
“The world is not as beautiful and clean as you might imagine, Miss Lei Na.” Clara shook her head lightly. “Even ordinary people choose the dark and evil path, so I think being an Evil Cultivator like you say is better than hypocrites hiding behind a mask of kindness. Though their hearts and minds are filled with evil.”
“That's your reason alone ..” Adam shook his head lightly. “You only choose a more comfortable path because you do not want to take a road that is so long and winding. Like the hypocrites you said before.”
“Don't equate me with them!” clara exclaimed with an angry expression.
Seeing the real Clara still very unstable and indecisive because she was always restrained but also lived in comfort, Adam stretched out his hand.
“Then prove.” Adam said coldly. “Prove that you are indeed different and worthy.”
