Chapter 126 Clash of wills
126 Clash of wills
There was a large forest not too far away from a small city. Ordinary people did not visit this place, and even soldiers knew better than to get into it since it was where criminals went to do shady business. You might see something you should not and end up dying, so everybody knew better than to get near it.
There was a full moon in the sky, and an old man waited in a desolate part of the forest. He had short gray hair and a thin build, and there was a large scar in his neck.
Despite his ferocious appearance, the man looked incredibly peaceful, and his smile seemed capable of putting people at ease.
Suddenly the old man’s eyes narrowed as he saw a figure coming out of the forest. Although the person had a robe covering his entire body, it was clear he could not be more than fifteen years old.
Seeing that the person he was about to meet was so young made a sharp light appear in the eyes of the old man. Still, he immediately hid it, showing nothing but friendship on his face.
“Is he alone?” The old man did not utter those words but sent them through his A.I. Chip.
“Yes, Young Elephant and Young Monkey surveilled the surroundings, and there was no one else in a radius of five hundred meters.”
When the old man heard that, his smile grew wider, but still, it showed no evil thoughts. Clearly, he had done this many times and knew how to hide his emotions.
“Great Tiger, Prepare to act. Like always, I will speak with the buyer for a while and will give you the signal if he is someone that we can get rid of.”
