Chapter 67
Xiao Yu was sitting in the tavern and saw Housekeeper Mo paying his owner for the demolition. He smiled as he stroked the bracelet on his wrist. He was thinking of a way to take it off. She did not care about the anger of Housekeeper Mo. Xiao Yu had already provoked him by getting a necklace for the Antonidas Archmage so doing it once again was no problem.
Xiao Yu was aware that Housekeeper Mo would try his best to hurt him when they reached Wang's house. But Xiao Yu was like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. What is done is done.
“What the fuck? I wouldn't use it if I knew it would be troublesome to take it off. ” Xiao Yu's wrist was swollen as she had used many means to try to remove her bracelet. He pondered whether he should use it to cut it.
Xiao Yu was too focused on his wrist. He would glance at Housekeeper Mo occasionally. However, the next time when he raised his head, he saw an old man sitting in front of him. There was a sad smile on the face of this old man that was similar to the smile of the archmage Antonidas.
“Cursed parents! Do you want to scare me to death? ” Xiao Yu surprised. In fact, his strength had gradually increased, so too had his perception improved. However, the old man appeared in front of him without the slightest sound. He was unaware of the old man's whereabouts until he saw him. It was like a ghost appeared in front of him which made him jump in fear.
“You should not be afraid of me but by yourself. Your heart that has a fear that scares you to parents like me.” The old man smiled as he spoke.
“Cut the crap! I am not afraid of anyone in this world! No one has the power to scare me into anything!” Xiao Yu's facial expression turned 'cool' as he continued to observe the bracelet on his wrist.
"What's wrong? Can't remove it?” The old man asked.
Xiao Yu stared at the wretched smile on the old man's wrinkled face. He would have driven out the old man long ago if he had not been brought up by socialist values and respected the old.
"What does this have to do with you whether I can take it off or not?" Xiao Yu rolled his eyes.
“You have used it without knowing what it is. It'll be locked forever.. Silly!” The old man took the snacks brought by the waiter to Xiao Yu. He started chewing it.
After which, the old man picked up the cup of red wine that was in front of Xiao Yu: "You are too spoiled to drink 300-year-old wine!"
The old man did not care about Xiao Yu drinking from the same cup a few minutes ago. He took a sip and put the cup back.
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes as he did not continue studying the bracelet but began to stare at the old man.
The old man did not look any different from an old beggar who lived on the streets. However, his clothes were very clean. He looks more like an old con man.
"Do you know what this is?" Xiao Yu asked even though he was not ready to believe the old man's words.
The old man picked up another piece of snack and put it in his mouth: “The snack was delicious, the wine was much tastier. It would be nice to have another bottle. ”
Xiao Yu looked at the old man and wanted to see what he was going to say. He flicked his finger and said to Beast One: "Beast One, get us a nice bottle of wine."
Beast One immediately ran out of the tavern and came back with a few bottles of red wine to put on the table.
The old man glanced at Beast One then exclaimed as he picked up a bottle of wine: "This Orc is much stronger than the orcs I've ever seen.."
"Did you see the orcs?" There was a trace of disbelief in Xiao Yu's eyes.
The old man gasped for breath at the moment he could open the bottle: "I have lived for a long time and seen many things."
"Is that ... Are you gonna tell me what this bracelet is?" Xiao Yu asked as he wanted to return to the topic.
The old man drank from the red wine and looked at the bracelet on Xiao Yu's wrist: "This is a slave pendant made by an evil witch to enslave powerful warriors in the ancient era."
"Since you know what it is then you should know how to let it go." Xiao Yu's heart turned cold as he watched the old man realize his collar.
The old man shook his head: "No way."
“BS!” Xiao Yu snapped as he took the bottle from the old man.
"Hi! Young people are showing no respect to the elderly lately!” The old man said in protest.
The old man's mouth twitched as he watched Xiao Yu drink from the bottle.
"Do you want to let go of that thing?" The old man smiled as he leaned his back against the chair.
"Why would I bother if I couldn't take it off?" Xiao Yu used the words of the old man to go against himself.
"Why do you want to enslave others if you want to take them off?" The old man asked.
Xiao Yu gasped in anger: “I don't know. I just want to scare the guy and punish him a little!”
“Young man, don't you know that hurting others is harming yourself? Tolerance is the right path. Do not choose the bad way. It doesn't matter if the deed is small or big!” The old man spoke in a serious tone.
Xiao Yu listened but did not refute the old man. He's telling the truth. Xiao Yu was a little mischievous and a hooligan but he knew the difference between right and wrong.
“Bastard beast, grab a dagger! I can't believe it can't be cut!” Xiao Yu did not believe that the bracelet could not be cut.
He didn't want this with him for life. He felt uneasy when he thought of Leah being his slave to death. There is no point in making anyone suffer.
"The magic would be useless if the blade and dagger could undo it." The old man said and picked up a bottle of wine when he saw Xiao Yu focus on the bracelet. Xiao Yu was too lazy to take back his wine.
Beast One returned with a dagger: "Master, do you want my help?"
Xiao Yu's mouth twitched: “Forget it. I'm afraid you're gonna cut off my hand. ”
Xiao Yu picked up the dagger and tried to stab the bracelet. However, every time he tried to move, a purple light lit up and protected his collar.
"What am I gonna do? Will it be with me forever?” Xiao Yu became angry. He stabbed his dagger into the corner of the table and looked at the shopkeeper: "Count this table as well!"
Housekeeper Mo's mouth twitched as he waited for the moment to waste Xiao Yu.
“How about that? Can't you cut it? ” The old man laughed.
Xiao Yu had tried every method today to take it off but could not.
"Actually, I have a suggestion." Said the old man.
“What kind of advice?” Xiao Yu asked back.
"Receive." The old man frankly said.
"What?" Xiao Yu was confused.
“Everything is so simple in life. I wasn't scared and pretentious when I was young. However, after reaching my age, I have accepted the thing called destiny. You cannot escape the shackles of destiny.” The parents answered
"I'll take it off sooner or later." Xiao Yu clenched his teeth.
The old man looked at Xiao Yu. It seemed like she was looking at herself when she was a young witch. He slightly shook his head but did not say anything.
“Tua, can't you handle it? If not, then I will deal with him myself! Leah appeared next to the table and looked at Xiao Yu ferociously.
"Oh! So he is the help you bring!” Xiao Yu grabbed back a bottle of wine.
