The Universe Is Innately Just 192 Unexpected Turnaround Part Four

Applause resounded from his left. Soldier's Fortune appeared in his hand, and he turned around, ready to attack at a moment's notice. There he saw a man with hands raised, applauding, and he gazed at Fell with unhidden admiration in his eyes. His eye moved toward the corpse of Golden, and not a speck of emotion appeared in the man's face.

Fell couldn't help but look suspiciously at the man in front of him. His mind worked dozens fold as he searched through his memory, but it was to no avail, and he came to the conclusion that he had never seen the man in front of him.

Pressure condensed around Fell, and a sharp light glinted in his tired eyes showing that he still had battle intent in his being.

"No need to be aggressive, I'm not your enemy.", the man said in a matter of fact tone.

"Who are you?", responded Fell. Who was still suspicious about the man's origin, and didn't hide it at all.

"I'm not an Earthling.", he explained before continuing. "My name is Khortar, and I come from the Esodis Clan. I was a guest elder in that man's family.", he began explaining with an amiable expression on his face.

Fell was puzzled by the man's explanation as he had never heard any of those clans. That wasn't surprising at all as his knowledge about the civilization living in the universe was nearly inexistent. But the fact that guests elder existed in the n.o.ble families was a fact known to many, and Fell was aware of that; from the man's tone, he knew that it was the truth.

"What do you want?", retorted Fell with a less aggressive tone.

"I saw the entirety of your fight, and-", the otherworldly cultivator began explaining before being cut by Fell. "Why didn't you help him, aren't you guys allies?"

The guest from the golden family smiled as he heard the question. He was clearly in a good mood and didn't take the youth's questioning tone at heart. "Well, you can't really say we were allies. Let's compare our relations.h.i.+p to a strict business pact. Nothing more, nothing less."

"A businessman…", repeated Fell with doubt in his heart. He gazed a the man, and couldn't see specks of a business man's aura, the likes he had seen in New Casablanca.

A burst of laughter escaped from the man's throat, and he couldn't help but see the youth with odd eyes. Never in his life had he been a.s.sociated with a businessman, in his planet power was necessary before fore taking any business activity.

"Sorry for that.", he added while wiping a tear from his lips. Fell couldn't help but gaze at the man with an even stranger look, the oddness and sense of displacement coming from the man were far worse than his own when he went to the Core. And he found himself interested in life outside of Earth.

"So, you came from outer s.p.a.ce?", he asked with interest in his eyes. His youthful innocence took over his mind, and this time there was no hostility in his tone — only an unquenchable thirst for knowledge about the other civilization.

The man nodded with a smile on his lips. And Fell began asking one question after another, some were interestingly sharp from the point of view of an Earthling, while others were plainly stupid, causing the man to fall into another fit of laughter.

"What do you guys breathe?"

"Do you have poverty on your planet?"

"Do your species only have males or are there any females up there?"

"Do you guys also drink water?", the man responded to this question in an instant. "Everybody needs water, nearly every species in the universe. Except for a few special one need water to live."

"You're an interesting kid. Why don't you come to see with your own eyes?", he added with a queer tone in his speech. "You can start by coming to my clans. You'll found an answer to everything you've asked for.", he added with a wink.

The young cultivator from Earth fell in deep thought and pondered whether he should go with the man or not. His senses told him that although the otherworldly cultivator wasn't an enemy, he still wasn't sure if he could fully trust him. Especially now that the man had seen through every card he had at hand during the fight.

Not only that, he still found it odd that the man didn't partake in the fight. As a businessman, fidelity is a significant factor when dealing with the client. Yet those reasons were only minor to his thoughts as, Fell yearned for freedom more than anything. He knew that following the man would be equal to taking a path that was already drawn, and he was sure as a stranger to the universe going to his clan would result in his being confined by many rules. And to him, those rules would be the same as throwing away his cherished freedom.

"Let me give you a piece of important information, fellow cultivator.", the man changed the way he called Fell. And a serious expression appeared in his face. "You have caused great waves through this city, and the other guests didn't wait long before selling information about you to Earth's enemies."

"I am saddened to tell you this. But in less than a few days or even hours. This city will no longer exist on the face of your planet."

The information dropped like a bomb in Fell's ears. And he nearly tumbled on his knee as his vision turned fuzzy, he had been thinking that the city was going to switch to a new page. But now, he had learned that an even more significant hurdle was making its way toward his hometown.
