Chapter 24- Strange Old Man
Sol hearing this paused but eventually said.
"I apologize, mister, I don’t want to become your disciple."
Sol thought the best way to reject this old man was to be direct. His father always told him if he wanted to say something that’s difficult to say, the only way to say it is with straightforwardness. No ’buts’, and without beating around the subject.
The old man, however, didn’t like Sol’s straightforward and blunt rejection.
With an enraged expression, he went to yell, but several loud whistling noises cut him off.
"Huh?"
The old man turned and looked over the horizon.
They were next to a small waterfall in an open area, so the trees’ canopy wasn’t obstructing their view of the evening sky. So, the old man had a clear view of the three objects flying towards this area at frightening speeds.
Before long, these three objects appeared overhead and shot towards Sol. The old man took three steps back and casually dodge them despite their terrifying speed.
As the three objects stopped above Sol, they were revealed to be the three missing bracelets.
Seeing this, the old man looked at them with a fascinated expression on his face.
