Chapter 126: Fake Pill

After Khal walked out, the doors behind him closed leaving only Logan and Master Adam in the hall together with Madam Snow.

Silence filled the interior of the room, but soon Master Adam tilted his gaze at Madam Snow and said, “You can also leave. I have a few things to discuss with this old friend of mine.”

Madam Snow without any objection nodded and after bowing politely toward Logan left the hall in hurried steps.

Only when the doors closed completely did Master Adam’s indifferent complexion form a beaming smile and hug Logan tightly.

“Asher, the hell happened with you? You look just as crap when I last saw you! And…” after examining Logan from up to bottom, Master Adam’s brows tightened and asked, “Why are you hiding your real Cultivation Strength? This is not you at all! Where is the old Asher who acted intimidating all the time?”

Logan who seemed a bit annoyed by Master Adam’s clingy behavior stepped a meter back and said, “I already told you not to call me on that name. That is the past and you know that already!”

“Ah, my bad, my bad…” grinned Master Adam with a wry smile, his previous mighty behavior now nowhere to be seen.

Right now, he was like a little kid before his parents who he didn’t see in years!

“But I am serious about my last question. Why are you hiding your real strength? Seventh Cultivation Stage? Really? You are way stronger than that even stronger than m-“

“I have my own reasons,” replied Logan coldly, causing Master Adam to stay silent in a flash.

If others would have seen this they would believe Master Adam would kill Logan right in this instant, but strangely that’s not what happened. Instead of chopping Logan’s head off as he would with anyone else, Master Adam did nothing while even stiffened up as though he was just disciplined by his old teacher.

The sight was nothing anyone would believe to see from an expert who stood atop all living beings in the First Realm!

Logan naturally noticed this change in Master Adam as he had great eyes, hence couldn’t help but sigh deeply, “Just forget what I said. I’m sorry. It’s just some things are better left unsaid. Even if I tell you the reason you would be unable to help me.”

Master Adam understood Logan’s intention and nodded, then tilted his gaze toward the door behind Logan, “That was your disciple, right? Isn’t he…”

“Weak? Haha, I will only say that this tournament won’t be boring and if you dare underestimate him you will be pleasantly surprised!”

“What should that even mean?” asked Master Adam with confusion in his eyes, but the only thing Logan did was smile.

While Logan and Master Adam began to chat with each other, Khal decided to check out Haven City in greater detail.

“Come! Magical herbs that you will only find here! Illness? Injuries? Diseases? With these herbs, you can heal all! Just buy 1 and you get 2! Come freely!”

“Weapons? Armors? Shields? You will find it all here! They were made by the best blacksmiths from around the world!”

“Low on Cultivation Base? Come to my ‘Essence Shop’! Here you will be able to buy High-Quality Essence Pills only for 1 Gold coin!”

People yelled loudly next to each other from behind their stalls, trying to obtain more customers with prices and lines that would make anyone feel attracted in an instant.

Especially the one that stated that only for 1 gold coin for a High-Quality Essence Pill. When Khal heard it he couldn’t help but turn his head toward the guy who said that and walk to his stall out of sheer curiosity.

“Little guy, you seem low on your Cultivation Base. Want to improve it with a High-Quality Essence Pill? It’s only 1 Gold coin!”

A guy who wore only shorts and was naked on top, revealing his skinny upper body to all to see, talked toward Khal with a grin, seemingly happy that he got another customer.

Khal glanced at the guy in silence and after pondering for a while took out his Cultivator’s Badge.

• Currency: 1.843 Silver Coins

Looking at the amount of money he had, Khal raised his gaze at the guy, only to see him still grinning at him like a complete idiot.

After thinking for a while Khal was about to buy one pill to try his luck, but then noticed something on the side that made him change his mind.

“What is that?” asked Khal, pointing at the pills on the left side of the stall that was shining with a light green hue.

“Eh? What do you mean what’s that? That is the Essence Pill! Did you not see any in your life kid?” smiled the guy, showing his row of yellowish teeth to Khal; however his eyes couldn’t hide his irritation that Khal decided to ask instead of buying.

Obviously, Khal noticed this, and while even a deep frown appeared on his face, “I see…”

Without saying anything else, Khal turned around and was about to leave when suddenly the guy grabbed his hand firmly, stopping him from leaving.

“What?” asked Khal, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

“You came to buy pills right? Then why are you leaving so soon? Do you have a problem with my items?” the guy’s grin now could nowhere be seen and what was visible on his face was ice coldness.

When Khal heard this his brows furrowed together tightly and wanted to pull his hand away, but realized he couldn’t; the guy was holding him in one place firmly which was quite surprising considering his skinny physique.

Khal knew that this guy was only bad news thus wanted to use greater strength to escape, but before he could have done so Rubie acted before him.

“SCREECH!!” with a loud cry that was exceedingly loud, Rubie on Khal’s shoulder fluttered her wings toward the guy, causing the firm grip around Khal’s wrist to loosen a bit.

And exactly this is what Khal needed. Without any hesitation, he pulled his arm away and after glancing back at the guy with a cold glare for one last time he began to walk away with steady steps.

“You fucker…” hissed the guy with clenched teeth, his face holding great anger for some strange reason.

Walking away without looking back, Khal checked his things if they were still with him, and only after that did he sigh with relief.

“That guy… He definitely tried to steal my bracelet back there.” thought Khal, as he thought back how painful it was the moment the guy grabbed his arm.

His wrist hurt not because the man had an exceptionally firm grip, but because he tried to pull his bracelet off his wrist which only resulted in a sharp pain piercing into his right arm in an instant.

But thanks to the fact that it couldn’t be taken off as it was stuck to his skin, with Rubie’s help he was able to leave that place without causing any unwanted ruckus.

“Thanks a lot. You save me there,” said Khal, petting Rubie on his shoulder gently, causing the little bird to close her eyes into a shape of a crescent moon.

After walking around the city for a bit, Khal began to feel bored and decided to head back to the hotel.

But who would have thought that the moment he turned around to head back the very first thing he would see was an old lady standing and staring at him from exactly one feet away from him.

“!?”
