Now Zora was training ten mile away from group. At the near other end of swamp.

Zora trainning was not like that before or not like other MC novels.

He was now digging stone, smashing stone, chopping trees.

And he carry sometime, toss it sometime, he jumping around like a monkey sometime.

Only after a short time he already tired and he looked at what he done.

He smile with satisfy.

AP... 500/2400

Metal AP...5.30/23.48

.

He run back to Yu Rou,

He is like an arrow which just shot from bow, run a cross the half dry swamp.

When he saw granny Qing and Yu Rou from far, he stops running and walk toward them quietly. Even in a messy ground fill with leave and grass, his movement did not give out sound.

.

But around hundred feet away from Granny and she looked back at Zora and when she found Zora, she turn back toward Yu Rou without caring about Zora.

Zora go and stand beside her and quietly watch Yu Rou.

Soon, Yu Rou opened her eyes and get up when she saw Zora.

.

"Finish?"Zora ask.

"Yes" Yu Rou answer.

"How is her cultivation?"Zora ask granny Qing.

.

Granny Qing answer with proud.

"She has already reached mid of apprentice magician, that my disciple." QX

.

"Wawawa,,,," Zora shout for cheering Yu Rou, and he continue.

"AND no, she is not your disciple, she is MINE disciple."

Zora attacks Granny Qing.

.

And he praise Yu Rou while gently pat her head.

"Yu'er is very smart girl."

.

But at that time,

"Ya, Ya, I forget, Yu'er is smart girl, but my disciple is stupid could not even learn magic."

granny Qing attacks back to Zora.

.

Zora got direct hit. He even stop his hand on Yu Rou head.

His faces twisted a few time.

.

"kekekeke." Yu Rou giggle.

Zora did not know what she giggle about, she giggle about him or his praise on her.

But he did not ask.

.

"Come."Zora told her and he extend his hand toward her.

Yu Rou hold his hand and they walk back toward the rest stop.

There were many people already arrived at rest stop and when they saw Zora, they wave their hand toward Zora.

"Hay, Zora."

"Hi."

Zora smile and wave back. But he did not chat with them.

Because he needed to rest. His AP is now low.

.

These people were starting to drink and making party.

Zora hate them.

They were all still in danger but got drunk every time, everywhere.

Because of they were too noisy, Zora needed to move further away from his place.

But his master Gu got many drinking friends already.

.

It is still too early but Zora try to eat some and sleep. He needed his AP back.

Everyone from their group came near to them and rest. They all were tired from preparing food for hundred people and place for rest.

....

Zora got wake up from noise. It is still at night.

Zora saw big group were noisy and panic. So he walked toward them. When he saw Yang Yin in a gloom face.

"What happen?"Zora ask him.

"Enemies are coming." He reply.

"They were fast."Z

"Are you not surprise?"YY

"Why should I?"Z

.

"You knew it and you take us all here. What is that you are trying to kill us all?"

someone shout.

.

When Zora heard and he think inside

'What wrong with this guy? Talking talking without thinking. And only think he is right.'

.

Zora coldly look at him and,

"Who save you from trapped place to here? And you if I am not wrong, you are from Ren Ti Xing group who were trapped in there? Am I right?". Z

"YA so what?" that man reply.

.

"So what? Who save you from that trapped place? Who save you from trapped city? And who give you food on the way to here?" Z

"If you dare, tell me again 'So What', say it, I will kill you." Z

.

At that time there two side talking, one with side on Zora and other against him.

Even if Zora tried to get some VOTE don't get enough.

His Planning was half success only.

.

At that time because of noise some people weak up and gather.

All were panic and worry.

.

Because of so many people here, that man got courage.

"So what, I say it again, what could you do?"

.

Zora walk toward him,

Tian Yun blocks Zora way said

"Stop."

"Fvck off, fat octopus." Zora told him.

Tian Yun anger blown up to top, he changes his form and attack toward Zora.

.

"Hay stop." Zi Mi

"Don't." Luo Zhan

"Stop Tian Yun." Yang Yin all shout but all too late.

.

BANG

A Shadow flew out drop down after 10 meters away from original place.

That was Fat octopus.

There was a kick, Zora jumped toward octopus and kick him.

Just one kick from Zora made him flew out.

.

"What?"

"How?"

"Even Captain Luo could not do like that."

"How is he so powerful."

"who is he?"(who he really is?)

These were from many people talking but that all are rubbish for Zora.

Most people froze, no one saw Zora power before.

And this is first time Zora use it too.

.

"Who ever block my way die too."

after Zora said it he took out his sword.

.

He looked back toward female healer and.

"Do you want to see how I stabbed the King of Wai horse here? I will show you now."

And walk toward octopus.

.

"Zora please stop." Yang Yin told him.

He talk toward Yang Yin with really cold voice.

.

"Yang Yin, I help you because of you help me and you were my friend. That does not mean anyone could insult me. Don't stop me. I already told you what kind of person I am?"

"I even killed King Of Wai horse here in this place for some insult."

.

"But I help them, by your face and because of that they think they could get on my head. I would show you today no one could touch me. If all of you wanted to stop me I will kill all."

.

After everything from his heart blown out. he stop talking and walk toward octopus.

But this time no one stop him from that group that octopus trying to guard them from harm.

.

Yang Yin sigh and he start moving toward Zora.

And Captain Luo group too.

.

Zora notice that and he decided to kill them all even if they were so call friends.

Or he saved them before.

Zora about to jump toward octopus and finished him off.

.

At that time.

"Ge Ge"

He stop and look back.

"Mmmm????"

He gently ask back toward Yu Rou.

"He is good guy, don't kill him." Yu Rou told him.

"OK."

Zora said it and walk back toward Yu Rou.

.

He did not go to another one because he was too far away from Yu Rou.

.

When he stop, Yang Yin stopped all other with hand sign.

.

Everything, nearly blood bath stop just from a seven year old girl word.

Yang Yin looked at Yu Rou and he heard what Zora said before about how he love her.

Not only Yang Yin, all were looking at Yu Rou.

How is that devil stop from a few word.

.

Before they all notice, Zora already got back near Yu Rou.

"Let go." Zora carry her.

There were many people spout again.

.

"He trying to run away now, pussy."

"YA, he is too scare to fight with General. All is talk, how could a small girl stop him."

"Ya you are right, he just scare that why he use a small girl and run away."

"He must be spy too. He save us mean trying to trick us."

"Ya, I knew what he want. He wanted to follow us to our base."

Too many pussies talk were spouting from the group,

Zora don't care any,

.

But actually, some people said were right. he scares.

.

When he was started the fight, he noticed that Yu Rou was walking toward them.

That why he wanted to fight them fast kill some and run away with Yu Rou.

.

But when Yu Rou told him and everyone notice her.

And some would take advantage on his weakness.

That why he scared and trying to run away.

.

Zora was not like most MC in many novel.

If someone insult with talk, they starting to bark back and bite.

.

But for Zora, he always do what is more important.

.

"All stop." Yang Yin shout.

But there were some stupid people.

"Ya, stop don't run pussy." Shout at Zora.

.

"I told you all shut the fvck up." Yang Yin shout at them.

"Zora, sorry about them. Because they did not know you, they misunderstand you. I apologies on behalf of them." Zi Mi told him.

"It is ok, but I am not going to help anymore. I am leaving."Zora reply.

.

At that time,

"Everyone attention," Yang Yin shout.

Everyone from that group stop and attention toward him. Even Captain include.

"Before you came here,

He already explain to you all about this route?

You all chose your way.

Not only this way, all the way to back home could be danger.

Zora already explain to you all and you all came here?

He said again.

.

Now you all heard enemies coming and scare the shit out and blame on him?

What kind of soldiers are you all?

Don't call yourself solider from Army of Ting Long, that make me really shame, as I am one of the general.

Under the Yang Yin's anger and shout, all the solider like mouse which saw a cat.

No one move the whole body even their mouth stop moving.

.

Yang Yin told them but,

Yang Yin has his own thought in his head.

.

(Before they all come Zora explained, all pros and cons. about these both ways.

And Zora let them chose, but anyway they blame on Zora.)

(Zmp: A/N: I cut off many chapter before and later.)

.

"Sorry Zora, that all I could say now. If I don't die here and we meet again in future, I would apologies you again."

And they all knew that, all Yang Yin said were truth.

They just scare from a wind blew and try to blame on someone.

.

"Sorry that before too, I was too angry. And see you again if you don't die."

He starts walk away.

.

"Ge Ge, you already planned to help them and fight the enemies here, why don't you help them now? If you leave now everything your plan was going to waste." Yu Rou told him.

That made everyone looked at Zora again.

.

"Yu'er, situation changed now, I don't want to risk my life for other people war."

Zora did not lower his voice so everyone could heard it.

"But Ge Ge, you knew that Uncle Yang and Sister Zi Mi is good. Please help them."

Yu Rou said it again.

.

That make Zora too much dilemma,

He lower his voice and whisper her in front of everyone.

.

"Don't you hate her before? Why now you wanted me to help her and them?"

"Emmm… I am not too sure, I felt that, the best for us is to help them. But I could not explain it how." Yu Rou whisper him back using his word, in front of all people.

Both of them did not care anyone else.

.

"Zora could I talk to you, give me five minute?" Zi Mi asked him,

He Looks at her and thinking what Yu Rou said,

after that he nod his head.

"Come with me please." She leads him to a place far enough that other could not hear them.

After they stop walking she starts her conversation.

.

"If you can, please help us." Zi Mi and she stop

"Is that all? I knew there were more for you to talk, if not let go back."

Zora told her.

.

She sigh,

"I knew that if I run, I could save my life from here. But I took them here, they follow trusting me and for the country."

"There were some bad people in there but most of my people were good." ZiMi

Some bad people came from my opposition group.

(Opposition group mean Ting Long people divided into two.)

They are trying to become ruler of our people for their own good." ZiMi

.

"I am in weaker group, and if my people die here they would take over ruler place and they would make my people to become their slaves." Zi Mi

If you knew there were bad people why don't you kill them." Z

.

But I knew you reason not to kill them.

The reason you wanted to tell me is,

"see the bigger picture???" Z

.

"We have bigger enemy if we killed ourselves, we would become weaker.

That why, see the big picture?

"Am I right?" Z

.

"Yes, that why we should not kill within ourselves. Is there anything wrong with that?" Zi Mi

.

"Remember that, what I see is the thing behind that so call big picture." Z

I would gave you example,

There was a country the world richest No,7,

There were big war,

So there were a person become a general or hero came out.

.

The hero was so good to his people, he tried his best for his country.

Even though, they were weaker than their enemies, they could fight back.

.

"But there were some bad people group in there, just like your country, Zi Mi." Z

.

Some people told the hero that to eliminate the rot inside.

But that great general was so good and kind to his people.

.

And said that "see the bigger picture.

We have bigger enemy out there."

For that reason they did not eliminate them.

.

Do you knew, what happen to that country?

Don't think too much, that country was destroyed.

.

Why?

So simple, these bad people wanted power and money.

.

So enemy used these rot people and destroy from inside, where they could not crash it from outside.

.

These bad people did everything, when they got what they want, without thinking any.

.

They assassinate the general leader group, and destroy the whole country.

.

"And I also understand that, if you eliminate them,"

he told toward Zi Mi.

.

You would become more weaker but do you think that would make your country crumble?

.

From my point, if removing the rot, it would reduce in size but more stronger and solid became.

.

You could see the one step before compare to other people,

.

That mean you are not a stupid.

.

But now is time for you to see two step before,

.

See further more from one step.

.

Or you would like to stop at just one step?

.

I wanted you to take another step, see the behind of big picture.

.

And finally,

What kind of reason you have, that would make me to help you?

From what I see is, I have to risk my life, fight for your people and after that they would told everyone that...

I am an enemy or a spy of your country?

Zora continue ask her.

.

I would not going to fight for you to get a bad name.

.

So give me a reason to fight in your war?

.

Song Zi Mi is looking at Zora and thinking what would she offer or what reason?

.

Money? Power to become a ruler a country? Beauty?

.

But look like these three things could not give a reason to make him fight in their war.

.

She was helplessly looking, and soon she found something.

Her face got brighter as she found a way out.

"I would make a safe place for her." ZiMi

She pointed at Yu Rou.

.

"Interesting, but still you could not do that. You could not even clean up the rot in your country. And how could you make a safe place for her?" Zora pointed out.

.

"That why I needed help. Help me."Zi Mi said.

Help you? Zora whisper and thought.

.

After a while,

"I could help you but you already knew that, How I would do and my way, don't you?

Is that your people could accept that?"

.

"You should think about it and talk with your side (army leader group), if you all decided to kill every bad people in your country.

Then I would accept your reason and help you but we don't have much time."

Zora told her to make agreement with politician and soldiers.

.
