Death… And Me

Chapter 1583 Fishy Offers

Chapter 1583 Fishy Offers

The old man then looked at Rean and asked him, "So, how's that? Is it a sad enough story for your taste?"

Rean was taken aback as he asked in response, "Could it be that you lied about all of that?"

"Not really," the old man answered. "But I did try to make it as pitiful as possible. You might think I'm shameless, but I've already discarded my shame a long time ago."

"Hahaha!" Rean laughed out loud in response. "I have to say, you've entertained me there. Alright, here you go." Rean then threw the Divine Stone at the old man.

The old mas was surprised that Rean would actually give him that Divine Stone. Of course, he definitely wouldn't reject it. Although it won't help much with his cultivation, it's still better than nothing. "Well, thanks."

Rean nodded in response. "It's nothing. By the way, you haven't told me your name yet."

"Hage," the old man answered. "As for my family name, I forgot it."

Rean smiled before turning around to leave. However, the other beggars quickly stopped him.

"Hey, brother. I have a few good stories of my own."

"Me too! Wanna hear how I lost this arm? It's quite a funny story, though."

"Hey, I got here first. Brother, if it's just stories you want, then you can just ask me."

Rean then raised his hand as he told him, "You guys can stop it. I was just curious about Hage's cultivation. It is very rare to see someone at his age still in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. You guys definitely didn't have it easy, but you're all in the Nascent Soul Already. That being said, I don't have an interest in what you have to say. Goodbye."

Without giving the beggars another chance to talk, Rean disappeared from there. With his cultivation, they couldn't even see how he left, showing that he was indeed several times stronger than they thought.

Hage then looked at his Divine Stone with a smile. He wasn't afraid of someone trying to rob him since the city had its rules. However, just as he was about to leave with it, a Divine Sense message entered his mind. 'This is just one of many more Divine Stones. If you're interested, just meet me at the south gate of the city this night. In case you're worried, all I can tell you is that I won't ask you to do anything illegal or dangerous.'

The old man was obviously shocked to hear that message. First of all, if Rean really had that many Divine Stones, would he really need to ask for his help? He could put up a mission or something like that for anything he needed. Not to mention... what could Hage do that Rean can't? 'This seems fishy...' Hage thought for a moment before leaving the street he was on.

Rean didn't insist, nor did he say anything else. He wasn't even watching the old man anymore. After delivering that message, he simply began to walk around the city, looking for a few more adults that might possibly accept joining the System Sect. When nighttime drew close, Rean finally appeared at the south gate of the city.

Roan was also there, as he was informed by Rean of his doings. "So you finally arrived. How many did you invite?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders as he replied, "A few. I wasn't really counting. Surprisingly, none of them are here yet."

Roan snorted in response. "The way you put your words, they most likely thought they were being scammed. You aimed at those who had harsh lives and had no families. They all have a lot of experience and wouldn't be tricked so easily. I wouldn't be surprised if not a single one appeared."

Rean didn't mind it as he said, "It's fine. We're looking for people willing to spend most of their time in a closed space. At least that'll be the case until we find a place to stay one day. Time is on our side."

Rean then asked something else after that. "How about Luan and the kids? I noticed when the new seven kids entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm."

Roan nodded as he explained, "Surprisingly, he convinced every single one of them. During these two weeks, Luan really got all those kids' trust. I made sure he really explained everything to them, especially since some were already teenagers. None of them seemed to mind it as long as they could stay with Luan."

"That's not so surprising," Rean answered. "Luan helped kids who were in a similar situation to his back in Treavin, right? If that's the case, those kids didn't have anyone to rely on. Now that someone that truly cared about them appeared, they obviously don't want to let go. The only doubt is whether they did it because they like him or because they want to end their harsh lives."

In the contracts Rean and Roan wrote up, all one had to do was to be loyal to the System Sect and keep the Dimensional Realm secret until second notice. Yes, until second notice. The twins believed there would be a time when keeping their Dimensional Realm a secret won't be a good thing anymore if the sect was being built there.

Other than that, the contracts didn't specify anything else. That meant anyone could leave if they wished to. It's just that they wouldn't be able to talk about it. In a certain way, it was a very broad contract. These kids didn't need to be loyal to Luan specifically. It was, as Roan said. As long as it didn't damage the sect itself, internal struggles won't be a problem at all. It will only help with the members' development.

Rean then looked around as many people and demon beasts entered and left the city. One must not forget that even small cities had hundreds of millions of people in the Realm of Gods. Naturally, the gate was enormous and had huge movement whether it was night or day.

It was then that Rean found someone, saying, "Well, here comes the first guy."
