Chapter 122 Finally! Everything Is Set. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Even though the attack had only barely missed his eye, his face had now become a bloody mess.
The sword had cut deep through his shoulder and down his abdomen.
"CHIRON!!!" Zi and Carla both screamed at the same time as they rushed to him.
Realizing what he had just done, Jan Jan froze.
Even though he did not at all like Chiron, that attack was meant for Ponzi.
"Security!" The elderly woman immediately called.
Fighting was not allowed in the Bureau of cultivators and even though Jan Jan knew this, he had still stroke Chiron.
The attack had not totally damaged his eye, but the impact from the spiritual energy was still there, and it had blinded him on the left side.
Even Ponzi just realized what had happened.
All he did was to dodge the attack of this rival. He had totally forgotten that Chiron was behind him.
"Don't worry! I can help him," Duna immediately administered first aid.
>>Congratulations Host, for defending against Fate. You have been awarded 10 fate points<<
>>Congratulations Host! defend against Fate two more times and get points promotion<<
The first alert was understandable, but the second one was new.
Either ways, Chiron could not think about that now.
He was now temporarily blind on one side, and Jan Jan's sword had cut too deep for comfort.
While the commotion ensured, Chiron noticed his Green Skinned shadow leopard bring out its small head from a small Shadow pull. From the look in its eyes, it was about to attack Jan Jan.
However, Chiron stopped it.
The Party members helped to carry Chiron out of the place.
"Take me to elder Ellen!" he muttered lowly.
....
Carla walked back and forth in nervousness, and so did Zi.
None of the party members were allowed into the Elder's manor.
Only Chiron was moved inside by the maids.
About an hour passed, and a maid came out of the manor's gate. Immediately they saw her, they rushed her for good news.
"Don't worry! he is fine. The mistress is attending to him herself. In fact, she said that he will be able to go back on his hunt tomorrow.
While the maid talked, none of the party members knew that Chiron was at the other side of the wall.
He was using his Aura to observe all their behaviors and expressions.
The moment he was brought into the Elder's manor, he drank a few potions and he was alright.
However, he intentionally did not come out. He wanted to observe them, and that was why he asked the maid to build that tension by saying he was coming out tomorrow.
The medicine in this world was too advance for him to lie any more than this.
Zi and Carla were happy and jumping.
Duna and Luna also sighed in relieve.
However, Chiron noticed that one person was not here.
And that was Ponzi. It seemed like he had remained at the Bureau for cultivators to finish the handing over of the Horn and signing off the debt that was owed.
Chiron smiled. Although the issue with Fate popping up was not planned, it did help him confirm a few things.
For example, Ponzi was goal oriented. In fact, he was very goal oriented.
Carla ran up to the Maid, "if he comes out early, tell him we are going to be at my place to celebrate our harvest."
The party members left and the maid went back inside the Manor.
After passing on the message, she went inside.
Elder Ellen laid her back on the side of the Manor's entrance as she observed Chiron.
"My lord!" she called to him, distracting him from his thoughts.
"Yes!" he raised his head to her.
"You seem to be having some difficulties. Do you need my help?"
She approached him. Ever eluding the atmosphere of a seductress.
Chiron raised his chin at her. He could sense it. Her demeanor had changed completely. Even though he was far below her in cultivation, such a change could not escape his senses.
"You have advanced to the middle stage of the Copper realm."
"Yes my lord!" she bowed slightly with a smile on her face, "it seems I could not hide such a thing from you."
She approached him, but Chiron did not have time to play games with her.
"Congratulations!" as he said this, he left through the gate, "send someone to look after my pet at the Lost treasure."
She nodded, but her face still showed disappointment at his escape.
"One way or the other, I will get you!" he muttered to herself.
....
That night, Chiron went back to his home. There were a lot of things that needed his attention.
As he entered his room, he heard from Emma that his younger sister had come once again to see him.
At the moment, her use was temporarily expired. She now had cultivation.
Until she reached a ripe age were he could use her Hundred Spirit Cauldron body to cultivate his power, she was practically useless.
He sat in a lotus position. He had to check out his gains.
Also, knowing Carla, she would want to head for the Snow white Tulip Healer as quick as possible.
Meaning Tomorrow was the day he headed for the high points of the dormant volcano.
What he needed was the Power from the Dragon egg in there.
If he cultivated that power well, it could even help him advance well past the stone Rank and onto the copper rank. And that was for both Spirit Energy and Aura energy.
He waved his hand and the Green Skinned shadow Leopard came out of his shadow.
It came closer and rubbed itself beside his leg.
"Hmmm! I just remembered. I did not even give you a name. How about Hunter!?"
The Green skinned leopard gave out little sounds in acknowledgement of the name.
Next, he willed the system to appear.

>>Please allocate points<<
He closed his eyes to meditate a bit.
After which, he went once more to the Pub that Aggro who was Ponzi's father usually frequented.
Tomorrow was the Hunt for the Snow White Tulip Flower.
Everything was now set.
However, before he left, he handed over some pills to Emma. One type was poison, and the other type was an aphrodisiac.
And gave her specific instructions on who and when to use each one.
