Luther being a sage, he naturally heard what Ethan, Cathrine and Adolfo were talking about. But he still couldn't believe that Ashok had become a martial artist and even a grandmaster level person felt oppression from him.
Luther called Vikram ( caretaker of orphanage and adoptive father of ashok )
" Didn't you say you want Ashok to live a normal life, so how did he become a martial artist" Luther asked in a serious manner.
" The fuc* are you taking about, I don't know anything about it " replied Vikram.
" What! if you didn't teach him then how did he get so strong so fast, he even made a grand master feel oppressed " said Luther in a surprised tone.
Both Vikram and Luther were in confusion to how Ashok became so strong.
" He may have had an adventure and found inheritance of some old cultivator or martial artist, there is no other explanation to it other than that, even though I promised his father that I will let him live a normal happy life I let him wander in to this path " sighed Vikram.
Vikram was astonished to hear that Ashok had become a martial artist, he thought to himself
" No matter how much a mortal tries, he can't run away from fate" .
" We can't do anything in this matter, it's his fate that he has entered the martial arts world, what we can do is guide him, I think you should have a talk with him, tell him about our identities, we shall guide him" requested Vikram.
" Then I shall have a talk with him"
In the morning, Ethan, Catherine and Adolfo pretended to have an urgent matter to attend to and decided to go back to E country.
Justin was skeptical but accepted the turns of event, they had booked a flight back at night and took off in the morning saying their goodbye to Luther and Justin.
As they left, Luther called Justin and told him that he wants to talk with Ashok and asked Justin to bring him home.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ashok had the meeting set with the web novel people who make contracts with authors in the evening, so he had time to attend his lectures.
On his way to his university, as he was walking he noticed that an unknown old man was sitting on a bench on the side of the road. Ashok felt that he has seen him somewhere before but couldn't remember who he was, but this was for sure that he didn't live in this neighborhood.
The old man was Arihant varma, he came to talk with Ashok.
Ashok was going to cross the old man but he came in his way and stopped him.
" Boy, wait I know about your secret, I also know what happened that night" Before the old man could say any more Ashok intervened.
" old man what night are you talking about(〇o〇;), there was no night activity , sorry I don't know anything, you may have got the wrong person" said Ashok and and ran away as fast as he could.
" Boy, do you think you can hide from me, I will eventually find you " shouted Arihant.
Ashok in his mind thought, " I saw on the news that, lately there have been an old man who has been harassing young boys, is it possible that, It may be that the old man saw me dancing naked that night when I fell down, and recorded it and he is trying to blackmail me into doing dirty stuff with him ((((;゜Д゜))) " even the thought of this made Ashok have a shiver down his spine."
" he also said he will find me ((((;゚Д゚)))) , god why does it have to be this, why is it an old man, why couldn't it be an beauty, is my face only handsome to old men
༼;´༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽"
System on the sideline was observing everything
[ This shameless host will never learn]
Ashok continued to walk towards his university, keeping his senses on high alert, worrying that the old man will come any moment and harass him.
Ashok had reached near his university, he saw Justin there as well, he without a thought ran towards him.
" Justin how come you are here, why aren't you entertaining your cousins" asked Ashok.
" Some urgent matter came up so they had to go back to E country, so here I am" sighed Justin.
" By the way why do you seem so scared what happened " asked Justin with a bit of worry.
" I think the Harassing old man has made me his next target ╥﹏╥ , on the way here I was stopped by an old man, he said he knew my secret and I think he was trying to blackmail me, into doing bad stuff with him" cried Ashok.
Justin got the gist of what Ashok was saying but he couldn't understand what secret of Ashok he knew. " What kind of secret does he know" he asked Ashok.
On this question Ashok started sweating, he couldn't actually tell Justin that he was dancing naked in night. So he just avoided his question and said " what should I do I am scared for my chastity "
Justin didn't ask any further question and just said, " Don't worry I will protect you " as he said this he was looking in Ashok eyes with a determination.
" By the way my grandfather wanted to meet you, he said that he wants to talk with you about something important" said Justin.
" Okay, I don't mind meeting him" Ashok didn't know why his grandfather would want to talk with him but he thought he would know just after talking what's it about.
Ashok and Justin attended their lectures of the day. It was already time for him to meet the web novel contractor in the Cafe. he arrived in the Cafe to find the people were already there.
" Sorry for being late, I was caught up in traffic" said Ashok.
" No don't worry we have also just arrived here, let jump to the main point, we have this offer for you, the contract will be of three years, you will be paid 100,000 per year a total of 300,000. you would have to write 2000 words a day. And as for the published book, you would get 10% royalty, so how about it" the contractor said this with a sly smile on his face.
Ashok already knew that making a contract like this would not be beneficial to him at all as he knows the potential of his book. On earth ' Harry Potter' was a huge success and had done business of billions. He knew that if he signed this contract there will be no turning back, and he would lose a lot.
" Don't you think that this contract is too unreasonable, I know the potential of my novel and it's definitely more than this, this much is not enough"
The contractors were bit surprised to see this kind of situation as all the time when they made contracts, the authors quickly agree as they lack money. This was the first time that someone rejected the contract, as getting a contract is hard in the first place.
This also made the contractors a bit annoyed he though to himself " Who does he think he is, many people beg but don't get a contract, here we came to him and he is rejecting us, I think I need to show him his place"
" Mr. Ashok, if you don't agree with the contract then it's fine but heed my words it will not be a good thing that you reject our offer, don't you know that our company is the largest in the web novel industry and rejecting our offer will not only remove your novel from our platform, you might not even be able to put your novel on other platforms" the contractor said this in a sly and a bit threatening manner.
Ashok who is mostly a jolly natured person became annoyed, this was not the first time someone had threatened him. But before he could do anything.
The door of the cafe was opened forcefully, then many people in black suit, with guns in their hands came in and stood in two lines creating a path for Arihant to come in.
As Arihant came in he shouted " Boy I finally found you"
" Σ(゚Д゚;), ahhh its the pervert old man"
All that was in Ashok mind was
" I am definitely getting molested by this old man today"
