Liam is strong, no doubt but he was still a mere Mortal and resting was still a must to him after using up such strength and thinking too much about how to finish the tasks at hand as quickly as possible.
Nevertheless, his rest was brief just three hours after cultivating his essence reserve till it's peak.
Liam stood up from the bed, his eyes was shiny and filled with the will to conquer the day no matter how tedious it's.
The first thing he did after stretching his self was to look towards his hostages only to see that they were still in a moment of deep slumber.
That ponytail dude was supposed to be up by now and Liam really needed to speak with him urgently so he kicked him in the head and the dude woke once again and acted a little, his action was like one who have had a perverted dream.
"So, I am still here, Heh! Why did i fall asleep for such a long time?" Ponytail asked no one in particular, the kick that he received just now seems to alter something in his brain and he did not notice Liam at once after waking up and he kept muttering strange words until he noticed Liam and was taken aback.
"Heh, did you succeed?" Even though he was taken captive by Liam, he wasn't afraid of death and he frequently asked questions as though he was willing to let Liam finish his quest so that he could be free and have the privilege to satisfy his lust.
"Your ideas are not half bad, but I saw these inside the room"
Liam opened his inventory and brought out the pictures he collected and showed them to Ponytail to see if the dude will recall ever seeing those faces.
"Huh this, it was a mission we completed some time ago, the first wife of Gregor family in a faraway kingdom did not want to let the second wife live a peaceful life with her kids and she asked us to kidnap them and kill them but.."
"But what, you really killed them, huh?' Liam eyes blazed with anger as he heard the word kill.
His heartbeat Increased, was his loved ones really killed, his mom, brother and the sister he have never met with? it was really something he did not want to hear right now.
"Na, na, it was the opposite, the young man Xavier killed the men we sent there and escaped with his mother and his sister, we tried finding them but it was too late. if I may ask, what's your relationship with them?"
"None! I'm an adventurer afterall and such rescue mission is what I seek." Liam sighed a relief one.
He was pretty worried that his loved ones might be killed but they were as safe as healthy and this was great relief for him.
"Did you inform me the evil stepmother about their escape?"
"Nah, the yellow horn black wing are not so stupid to report a failed mission and Hundred told us not to search for the young man. he too suffered from the evil stepmother syndrome thus his cold attitude towards life."
"You Know you are a big traitor right?" Liam said with a smile, ponytail was really a traitor, he did not only give him information about their group but even narrated few of their stories to him.
"Heh, I just want to be alive forever, death was never an option." He responded with a smile.
Liam shook his head, then he walked out of the room to the restaurant, luckily no one he knew came and he ate peacefully.
Returning to his room, he decided that it was high time he meditate not for restoring his lost energy but for absorbing more energy to increase his strength.
....
At the same time.
In a forest ans inside a carriage,a beautiful lady with nice body was holding a little girl of about ten years of age in her hands while a young man with shoulder length long hair was controlling the carriage with a Stern look on his face.
On his back was two sheathed swords, one black and the other white, this was the legendary yin Yang sword which was grade 4.
"Mom, don't worry, we'll make it out of this forest no matter what and little sister will finally eat food suited for her age." Xavier said with a tender look on his face.
Xavier is sixteen at the moment, he has the martial arts cultivation of level 4, radiant heart realm and essence cultivation of level 10, human champion realm.
Oh, so strong, then how was he kidnapped?
Simple, the kidnappers used poisons that weakens him for a period of time.
But during the journey with the kidnappers, Xavier woke up and began r
dispelling the poison out of his body.
Nevertheless, it took longer than he have expected and when he was done dispelling the poisoned they were already in the middle of an unknown Forest which was vast.
Xavier spat out dark flame from his mouth and melt the rope used in binding him and his mother and his little sister.
After that, he took out his sword and pierced through the wooden carriage and killed one of them.
Nevertheless, there were two others inside the carriage and a long battle surface of which Xavier brutally killed the other Kidnappers and escaped using their carriage which was moved by peddling.
It has been four days since that day, the speed of the carriage was not that good and Xavier was worn out from the fight.
Thus, he had to stop sometimes to rest, but after seeing the state of his little sister Julian, he always feels strong again and peddled for a long time.
"I Know you are trying Xavier, mom really appreciates but you need to rest. it's been so long since you started peddling, at least two days" Emerald sweet tender tone sounded like that of a barbie, she was affectionate towards all her kids.
"Don't worry mom, I'll rest when I feel like it, little sister will get sick if she remains in the open too much and eat a lot of wild food, luckily I looted the criminals and found over sixty gold coins, I guess that's the amount that bastard Ling paid them!" Xavier gritted his teeth as he mentioned that name.
The owner of that name was much like a devil in his life, first it was she who hired sages to frame that his little brother was cursed by letting them leave a curse energy inside of him.
After the birth of Julian, she has tried everything to ensure that she kill the little girl but even when caught in the act she always have her crafty ways to free herself.
Xavier have confronted her severally but she was fast to raise alarms and save herself from him and let him get punished by his stupid father.
And now, after trying so hard to kill them and never succeeded she decided to bring extra hands to help her complete her evil mission but she didn't seem to succeed.
Emerald saw the craze face of her son; "Let's focus on surviving now, we can think about revenge after surviving."
"*Sigh. okay Mom!" Xavier sighed.
For the next two days he did not rest, but his action payed him when they started hearing the voice of other persons which means they were closed to a civilisation.
Xavier was wise, he would have taken the carriage in but who knows if the carriage will be identified and his mom and himself will be detained so he burnt it down and took his mom and sister through another route to leave the forest for real.
After leaving the forest, they arrived at a village which happens to be GoSun village.
The first thing Xavier did was to take his mom and sister to a inn and rented two rooms closed to each other so that they could stay for sometime.
The inn he stayed at also happened to be the one that Liam was living in, but his room was placed below the floor Liam was in.
Well, none of the two brothers knew about the coincident and were living their lives in the best way they can.
Xavier although a cultivator was also a genius alchemist.
Alchemist have different ranks, the Lowest was apprentice and the highest was god.
It followed this pattern (Apprentice alchemist, master, grandmaster, chief, lord, king, sovereign, supreme, Immortal Dan master, Dan God)
Xavier is a master alchemist, which was rare considering his age.
It wasn't about the genius attribute here, but as an alchemist, Xavier has a higher chance of making cool cash.
With the rightful ingredients, his divine flame called the Dark god flame was a superior rank flame for alchemy, with those he'll be able to make high graded pill at once.
