Arthur tried to keep his emotions in check; he didn’t want to cause a scene since his original purpose was to buy the rice field, even though the village chief’s words had actually upset him. Indirectly, the village chief had insulted his mother, who supposedly relied solely on aid! Yet it was clear that Emely didn’t entirely rely on aid from the village—she still worked on her own to provide for herself in her old age.“Dad, don’t say things like that. We need to find out first why Aunt Emely came here,” said the village chief’s daughter as she gently rubbed her father’s back.The village chief instinctively looked at his daughter, as it was unusual for her to defend that old woman. His daughter actually hated her even more. But he immediately realized why—his daughter’s gaze was fixed on the handsome man who had come with Emely.Arthur stepped forward a few paces; he couldn’t let anyone insult his mother again!“I’m Damian from the capital city, a distant relative of Aunt Emely. I c

Arthur couldn’t fathom the old man’s reasoning; it turned out the man’s goal was to persuade him to join the Demon Sect and accept his daughter’s proposal. He had been mistaken in assuming that the Demon Sect already suspected his true identity. But the old man’s offer was simply impossible for him to accept. He’d rather work as a food delivery person for the rest of his life than join that heretical sect.The Demon Sect was clearly no good; it had been formed under the direction of the Demon Clan to practice black magic and heretical teachings. Rumor had it that once a man joined the Demon Sect, he could never leave. If they were weak, they were often killed as sacrifices to the Demon Clan or the Dragon Clan.According to the rumors, the most terrifying clan of all was the Monster Clan. Aside from their terrifying appearance and cruel nature, it turns out that above the Monster Clan lies the Demon Clan, which is far more cruel and cunning. The Monster Clan still possesses compassion

Arthur wept as he watched the poison spread further through his mother’s body. This snake venom was no ordinary poison; it didn’t kill Emely instantly, but it was clearly extremely dangerous. His mother’s life might be lost if he didn’t find an antidote as soon as possible.He pleaded with the system of luck to grant him something that could heal his mother.The poison had to be neutralized immediately, before it was too late.Arthur was willing to trade anything, as long as his mother could be healed. He didn’t want to lose her a second time! He was already happy to have received a mother’s love from Emely. He didn’t want her to die just like that.“System! I’m willing to trade everything I have. I’m even willing to go back to being a fat man as long as you can help me cure my mother. She’s my only family now; I don’t care about anything else!” Arthur said through his tears.He could no longer take his mother to a doctor—not because of money. Rather, this poison was already so deadly

Queen Avtar sensed a powerful energy she recognized all too well; she immediately rose from her throne. Knowing the energy was not far from the palace, Queen Avtar instantly used her powers to travel to that location.That’s right! Queen Avtar went to the Snake Clan when she sensed the spiritual energy of the double-edged heirloom sword—which meant the fat man was at the Snake Clan.She wanted a clear explanation as to why the fat man hadn’t come to see her. Was it because of the rumor that she had rejected him that he hadn’t come to see her? Personally, she also wanted to apologize directly for having believed that malicious rumor and for doubting the man’s sincerity.Although the man was very overweight, he had indeed been chosen purely by the double-edged heirloom sword. Queen Avtar herself had verified this and investigated whether the man was guilty or not. It turned out the evidence showed that the overweight man was innocent.The double-edged heirloom sword would never make a w

Arthur saw the man fighting the leader of the Demon Sect and the leader of the Dragon Clan—it turned out to be Zegan. Once again, that man had come to his rescue. He couldn’t do it alone; while the man certainly possessed extraordinary abilities, there was a high likelihood that Zegan would be injured if he had to fight them by himself.Arthur gently placed his hands on his mother’s shoulders. He told her to go inside the house first and not to open the door until the fight was over.At first, Emely refused when her son said he intended to help the man who had saved them. But Arthur reassured his mother once more that everything would be all right.Emely nodded; she couldn’t doubt her son’s abilities and leave that man to fight alone.Emely then hurried inside the house. Two members of the Demon Sect nearly prevented Emely from entering. They intended to take Emely away, but Arthur immediately kicked them using the martial arts techniques he had learned.Arthur fought against the Demo
