"So, tell me why should I give you something so valuable?" –Elena asked.
"…" –Jon kept silent. He didn't know what to say.
He is shameless. But still, what could he say to that? More valuable than this city? That's insane. But if he thought about it calmly that made sense. That lucky bastard really hit it big.
"…" –Elena too looked at Jon with remorse.
Jon is talented in his own way. Even with no background and a faulty cultivation system that led to destroying his potential, he still managed to come this far on his own.
She admired it in a way.
The kids back in the empire might be a lot stronger and have a lot higher cultivation than him. But that was only possible because of the proper guidance they were given.
The fact that Jon still managed to come this far at his young age while being in a god-forsaken place like this makes her wonder what was his initial potential before.
