chapter 27

After a while, they arrived in the Phoenix city, Sun Clan.

the group of folks on the ground looked at the flying eagle with astonishment, as soon as they landed on the ground with the following squeal.

"what's th- wait isn't that young miss Zhenya?" the local people recognized Sun Zhenya immediately and went to call the guard from the mansion.

Ethan looking at this smiled and turned to her, "this is you home?"

she nervously nodded her head up and down.

"hey! look isn't that the young miss..." the guards and elder arrived.

"Zhenya!" soon another voice car from behind startling the crowd.

Zhenya looked at the young man's call and lowered her head and muttered, "brother..."

Ethan on the other hand gulped, looking at the young man. '5th stage peak?...'

It's not that he doesn't want to complete his quest, but the strength between them looked too massive. without the overdrive, it seemed difficult.

the young man rushed over to Zhenya and hugged her tightly which, Zhenya seemed reluctant to reciprocate.

after he let go of her, Zhang turned to Ethan and Yaling, "And you're?..."

the words left his mouth as a cold glare flashed across Ethan's face.

slightly taken aback, Zhuang glared back just to get interrupted by his little sister, "Brother! he is the one who saved me..."

Zhuang once again looked at Ethan and turned around, "let's talk inside."

Ethan smirked and motioned his hand. Yaling followed him from behind.

they soon entered an isolated and well-designed courtyard. then the room inside is as luxurious as it looks from the outside.

Ethan entered the room and sat down on the couch. the others seeing him coughed and sat across the other side.

"So tell me, what happened?" Zhuang broke the awkward silence and asked looking at Zhenya, and glanced at Ethan who was sitting next to her little sister.

"...I-I am S-Sorry" after giving them a brief explanation, Zhenya sobbed.

she felt sorry for acting so childish and immature. which could potentially get her killed.

Ethan looked at Zhuang in his eyes. Zhuang noticed his gaze but didn't say anything.

"Thank you very much... for saving Zhenya. ran off to the mountains, when we got into a disagreement. I know she can be childish sometimes... but I thank you for the trouble."

said Sun Zhuang with a straight face.

Ethan kept his cold smile, and said,

"Ah... young master Zhuang, aren't going to reward me for saving your dear little sister?"

all of them present even Yaling we're dumbfounded by his bland demand.

Zhuang came back to his senses and put on a smile.

"of course, it will arrange for your reward," he said and waved his hand.

Zhenya looked a bit disappointed,

"Oh well, what can the young master give me that I don't have?"

Ethan said with a smirk.

Zhuang's twitched but kept a business smile.

"Mr. Ethan, we are one the greatest clan in the northern region. we have all kinds of riches."

Zhuang said,

but he felt disappointed by him when his sister told him about Ethan, he decided to befriend him, but he realized that he was just another shameless brat.

"young master Zhuang! looks like you're looking down on me." Ethan said with an expressionless face.

the middle-aged man sitting beside them widened his eyes as he realized something.

he got closer to Zhuang's ear and whispered something.

Hearing that Zhuang frowned with dissatisfaction. but still kept his businessmen's smile.

"Oh My, forgive my rudeness, Young Master Ethan."

He said before gesturing for the guard to move.

Zhenya was dumbfounded, what with this sudden change?

"Brother? you called him Young Master... who is he?"

she asked innocently.

"Zhenya, you shouldn't be rude either. As you can see this Young Master Ethan is Ethan Williams from the south. from the Duke's family" Zhuang put on an awkward smile.

Yaling puffed her chest in pride she had in her prince.

Hearing that, Zhenya widened her eyes.

"I-I am sorry for my rudeness before."

Ethan smiled at her, making her blush.

Even if his family was in a decline, no one dare to forget about the terror of the old Williams. Which was printed in their brains.

"So tell me what can you offer me?"

He asked again.

"young master Ethan, what is that you lack we can offer? If you have something in mind you can ask. I will try my best to make it up to your expectation." Zhuang said between his teeth.

"well, you are right I have something in mind. How about your sister?"

"..."

Everyone turned silent.

Zhenya was red with steam coming out of her head.

Yaling glared daggers at him.

Zhuang was dumbfounded.

"Young master Ethan looks like I heard it wrong..." Zhuang asked with a serious expression.

"you heard it right young master Zhang."

Ethan said with a nonchalant expression.

This time Zhenya covered her face with her hands.

The elder sitting beside Zhuang coughed.

"Young Master Ethan, is that a proposal?"

The Elder thought it through, that, if that's the case, then it would be great. not only does he have such an otherworldly appearance, but he also is rich so why not? in the end, their clan would gain a lot I benefit.

"When did I say anything about Marriage? I just said I want her."

Ethan looked at Zhuang with a smirk.

Zhuang had enough, he got up smashing the table with his fist.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhuang gritted his teeth and said.

Ethan kept his smile and just looked at Zhenya, who seemed uncomfortable hearing his last sentence.

"Oh, I was just joking, Young Master Zhuang, don't take it personally..." he leaned closer and said, "Or you can really give me your sister?"

saying this he got up and turned around.

"We are taking our leave then," he said and walked out of the door. following him Yaling went out of the room.

"Young Master Ethan, you can get on," Yaling said with a straight face after leaving the room.

Little Xiao flipped its wings and landed on the ground, with a following squeal.

"Young Master? what with this all of a sudden? just call me Ethan!" he said and hopped on.

"hmmph" Yaling sneered at him.

Ethan chuckled and hugged her from behind. "what..." she stuttered and put a bit of resistance.

"let's go back to the mountains," he said, dumbfounding Yaling.

she turned around to see his face.

his face looked pale, but his smile didn't disappear. "what are you talking about-"

he didn't let her finish and spoke, "please don't ask anything, just go," he turned her down.

he looked at his system panel, which was bright red and showing a huge attention mark.

<< ding >>

<< admin's note - Now don't be such a lazy ass! go earn, what you chew. >>

'what the duck?'

this was his reaction after the message.

'who the heck is this admin, did someone hack my system?'

<< you don't have the authority to know. >>

'but you said this is my system...'

he retorted.

<< I never said this isn't yours... it's yours to use. but quests and rewards are assigned by the admin. >>

Ethan felt like crying, "Damn! you...System."

After a while, they landed on the ground.

they found the corpse of the demon he fought before, being eaten by some monster beasts.

"Hey, what are you gonna do now?"

Yaling asked feeling a bit annoyed.

Ethan sighed and spoke, "You know... I have something to do here, you can go back,

for now, I will meet you in the city later."

Yaling sneered and refused to leave without him.

Ethan has anticipated this all along. so he let her follow him.

he walked back to the cave and looked down.

'Am I really gonna do this? I don't have much time either... Damn you admin...
