"I don't know how you plan to gather those but be careful. There would be more people coming for you soon." Alice replied.

"I know. Also, I need the information about someone." Tyler said

"Who?" Alice asked.

"Joseph! He is a fifth-stage Energy Refinement Cultivator. He uses a large blade and seems to be from Holy Sanctum. Also, do you know where I can find Siran?" Tyler asked.

Alice rolled her eyes and said "That information is too little but I will try. As for him, I am pretty sure that he is still in his home."

"Do you know how I can lure him out?" Tyler asked.

"Do you really want to kill him now?" Alice's mood got serious as she asked. Although she knew he has gotten stronger, she didn't know just how strong.

Even Tyler wasn't sure about his own strength. But in any case, he would be able to run away this time.

"I must kill him. That was my freaking arm. I am going to make him pay with his death." Tyler's expression turned cold and a dangerous aura burst out of him.

"Keep this! I will ask someone to monitor him. Once we find a chance, I will immediately contact you." Saying so, she passed him her previous phone.

"Aren't these expensive? How much do they cost?" Holding the smartphone in his hand for the first time made Tyler a bit startled. He immediately asked for the cost since he thought he should be able to pay for it.

Alice rolled her eyes and said "You worry too much. The reason why you didn't have a smartphone before was because of the gap between cultivators and non-cultivators. Due to our current economic situation, those who aren't cultivators can barely hold any technology."

"You should've heard the old man from our talent test. Every element has its own usefulness. And, so people are slowly merging the cultivation with technology."

"And, those who can't cultivate are unable to get involved in these kinds of works. So, they don't get enough money to buy the technology. The cost of this smartphone is only around fifty thousand meso."

"For someone who uses Energy Crystals constantly, it isn't much. But for a family who can only earn around thousand to two thousand meso per month, it is an astronomical amount."

"That's why you shouldn't act surprised. Soon, you will slowly understand how the world works."

Hearing her words, Tyler was quite surprised. He released a deep sigh and said.

"I am glad I have you. Without you, I wouldn't be able to do anything I planned."

"You don't have to sweat talk me." Alice replied as she lowered her gaze. There was a small blush on her face.

Tyler noticed it as well. He bit his lips, not knowing what to do. If he truly wanted to have sex, he could do it but right now, he didn't have that kind of emotion.

Instead, he felt like he should do something to earn that sex.

"Hey… mom was saying that you should come and visit her often." Tyler kept scratching the side of his head as he spoke.

"Yes… I will." Alice's face started burning even more when she replied.

Tyler couldn't bear it and turned around.

"Alright, I should leave right now. I need to help Dan as well."

He didn't stay any more seconds. He instantly left the room.

"Wait, I haven't taught you….." Alice suddenly realized that she missed something and tried to stop him. But, he had already left.

"how to use the smartphone."

.........….

Tyler ran toward his home as fast as he could. He felt his heartbeat slowly rising even more. His face was burning red and there was a hint of shyness in his eyes.

He quickly reached his home.

"Mom, I'm back."

He spoke as he entered his house.

"Tyler!" Rose came running out of the kitchen. When she saw him, she embraced him tightly.

"I was so worried about you."

"You don't need to be worried. Did you forget I was able to cross the fifth trial? I am a lot stronger now." Tyler smiled as he tried to calm down his heartbeat.

"Yeah! You should take the same rest. It seems like you have been running for white for a while. Your heartbeat is too high. I will bring some water." Rose heavily sighed a breath of relief. She turned around and left toward the kitchen.

"You didn't run. What made your heartbeat soar?" Suddenly, a voice rang from the sofa.

Tyler was startled. He turned around and saw Miao sitting on the sofa. He shook his head and said.

"No-nothing. Anyway, did anyone try to come here again after that incident?"

Miao noticed something was wrong here. But, he didn't pester Tyler.

"Look, kid! I know it was my fault that I let someone sneak in and take her away. But right now, with all that Energy Crystals you've given me. You don't need to worry about her."

Hearing his words, Tyler nodded. After that, he sat down. Soon, his mother arrived and they chat a little. He didn't waste much time and visited Dan.

Inside Dan Shop,

When Tyler arrived in front of the store, he found that the store was closed. He was a bit surprised. He entered from the side and saw Dan, working with his wife and daughter.

His two other workers were also there and all of them were working together.

When he arrived, they eventually saw him. Dan's eyes instantly shifted to Tyler's arm and when he saw that arm, his eyes widened.

"Y-y-you are alright?"

"I am now. Sorry, I kept you waiting for so long. Now, I am back and I can work even faster."

Tyler said as he walked closer.

Dan dropped the hammer from his hand. He rushed toward Tyler and embraced him.

"Thank god, you are fine. That bastard... I'm sorry, Tyler. I shouldn't have taken this deal."

Tyler pushed him and rolled his eyes.

"What do you mean? I was the one who agreed. Besides, it was nothing. We still have enough time to prepare those weapons."

"Let's start working right now!"
