Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

Chapter 114 Fishing In Trouble Waters Is The Best...

Emma came back home the next day as early in the morning as possible.

After giving Chiron the information he had asked for as well as the herbs from Elder Ellen, she went straight to her room to sleep and cry her heart out.

For her, it had been an emotional night and to top it up, Elder Fatso had not been quiet with those young girls all night long.

Chiron saw the look on Emma's face. He nodded.

It was not hard to tell that she had only done as he had instructed her to. After all, the people that had taken her family and life were before her face all night and she had done nothing but entertained them.

Knowing that his words were more valuable than her revenge was a significance of her loyalty.

Chiron opened the paper she had passed him and read its content. What he saw, made him smile.

Just as planned, Chiron went to the Bureau for cultivators to meet the rest of the party members. Once more, they went out of the Clan to hunt Rabid big foot rabbit.

This time around, things went according to plan and they returned with a bountiful harvest.

While they returned, Zi lacked behind the others, and she pulled Carla closer.

"Carla, you and Chiron seemed to be really good friends. I mean, at least I know he is always looking out for you."

"Me!?" Carla had a surprised look on her face.

"yes!"

Carla smiled a bit, "Well," She took a look at Chiron walking not so far away. Seeing his lone figure and hearing that he always looked after her, made her blush a bit.

Zi saw her expression and it made her frown, "do you like him?"

The question had come out of nowhere and it made Carla all flustered. "No! No!!"

"So you don't like him?" Zi had a brow up.

"Well, I do but not just in that way. We are just friends," Carla laughed awkwardly, and then she looked at Zi and instinctively understood.

"Oh, dear ancestor! Zi, do you like Chiron!?"

Zi looked away, but her turn red face gave her away.

Carla instantly understood what was happening, "so why don't you just tell him!?"

"I don't know!" she fondled with her fingers.

While the girls talked, they had gotten carried away with their conversation that they did not know that Chiron was eavesdropping.

"Hmmm! This could come in handy later on," he thought to himself.

The team got back to the Bureau for cultivators and unlike last time, they were able to ease off some of their points.

This time around, Chiron tailed the twins to their home.

However, what he saw there only bored him. In other words, it was a happy stable home.

Chiron's thoughts went with the line that stated that troubled waters were the best for fishing.

However, when coming back home, he managed to see a particular person.

It was a man walking through the streets.

Chiron followed him closely and watched as he got into a pub.

This pub was not like the lost treasure. It was low of the low. The type that mostly sold diluted alcohol missed with water or maybe something nasty with a strong smell.

Chiron remembered the information he had read on this man.

This was Ponzi's father.

He was known publicly as Aggro.

He is what was popularly called a broken cultivator.

Once upon a time, he had a wife, and both of them were cultivators. With their only son, they were a happy family.

However, the world was harsh and reality ate a really big chunk out of that happiness.

On a hunt outside the clan, a particular beast they were both hunting took a crunching bite out of his wife's neck and she passed away.

In an act of revenge, Aggro hunted for the beast, but not all revenge stories ended as planned.

At the time, he was just a cultivator of the middle stone rank and the beast was a green cored beast.

After an encounter with the creature, he managed to keep his life, but that encounter nearly crippled him for life.

He ended up with an injury that had never healed since then.

Right now, his cultivation had dropped several levels. He was now at the middle stage of the wood rank. With no hope of ever climbing back up.

As a cultivator, his life had effectively ended. And as a man, he had lost the love of his life, and he was not even capable of taking revenge.

In all definitions of the word, he was a broken man.

The only reason he had killed himself was because of his hard-working son.

On top of all the pain, he had debts from the bureau for all the time he had taken missions to hunt the beast that killed his wife.

Those debts were only held back by the hard work of his only son.

He had been reduced to a state where all he did was drink and gamble all day from the little money Ponzi gave him for feeding.

As one would expect, this resulted in having more debts.

Apart from Ponzi, Aggro had another family member. He had a younger sister who was Zi's mother. But his ways had brought shame to her.

Even before he went for the mission that totally ruined his life, she had warned him not to go, but he still went and the results were devastating.

Seeing Aggro, suddenly reminded Chiron of the look he had seen in Ponzi's eyes when zi was in danger.

Chiron fashioned a nice idea in his head before he implemented that particular plan.

But first, he needed to give that look in Ponzi's eyes a little push to fulfilment. After all, he had seen it clearly, the most important person in his party leader's heart was this man.

Chiron waved his hand, removing a cloak from his storage, and putting it on. He went after Aggro into the run-down pub.
