CHAPTER 23: ABSOLUTE TRUTH! PART 2
"We'll pay you 100 coins if you save us" – When his voice sounded, Adrian stopped his steps.
"I want 100 for each one" – Adrián spoke, he couldn't be pitying, after all this couple would have killed him if they had the chance.
After he spoke, the husband became angry, but the fog soon filtered through and his talisman began to fade.
"Okay, we accept" – the woman said hurriedly.
"Vote for the bag of coins" – Adrián spoke again. The couple looked at each other, but nodded hurriedly, before voting for the coins near Adrian.
When Adrian picked them up, he nodded, directed his hands forward, causing the fog to disperse.
Moving them away from the couple, the fog was very afraid of Adrian, so he did not resist.
When the couple was safe, they breathed a sigh of relief, but they also looked at Adrian, who was just a child, but at the same time they did not dare to approach. In this fog, Adrian could easily decide his life and death.
"Move forward" – Adrián said, while keeping a good distance from the couple.
The husband and wife knew who Adrian was, after all, he remembered the little boy who spied on them in the shop of the apothecary Gu.
They didn't decide to say anything, and walked in a straight line. While Adrián walked behind him.
He couldn't see that he was injured, nor could he say anything about it, he could only walk calmly.
Suddenly the woman turned around, and smiled affectionately at Adrian.
"Thank you very much for saving us, can we know your name?" – the woman asked, she knew that Adrián was a child from the city, but she did not know his name.
The husband simply walked attentive to the fog, in addition to also distrusting Adrian.
Adrián knew that the couple would know his name sooner or later, they had also already paid for his life.
"My name is Adrian, just Adrian" – Now that he had no family, it hurt a lot to remember his last name, so he only said his name.
The woman simply nodded, then began to talk a little with Adrian, telling him a little about her family. When she reached her daughter's part, the woman was a little sad.
"We couldn't get the plants to save our daughter, but at least we're still alive" – were the words she said to herself as a consolation.
Adrian narrowed his eyes a little, while discerning a little where this story was going.
"Can you sell us some spirit plants?" – In the end, the real reason why he started being so kind to Adrian came to light.
After all, they knew that the fog didn't affect Adrian, so there was a good chance that Adrian got a lot of plants.
However.
"I didn't manage to get any" – Was what Adrian replied, really all those were destroyed by the force of the fog palm, now the only thing left were their seeds. But as long as he was around, he could get some spirit plants.
When the woman heard that. She nodded painfully, as it seemed like she accepted her fate, but suddenly her aura changed. And he moved quickly.
He stepped forward by voting two flying daggers which shone in the air, whistled at a great speed, as they were thrown with enormous force.
But at that moment the fog reappeared again. Crushing the two daggers.
Adrián did not expect that to happen in an instant. The husband activated the talisman and they immediately left the area that the fog controlled.
It seemed that, at this whole moment, they were planning to kill Adrian, if the possibility arose, after all they were not going to believe that he had not obtained the spirit plants.
Adrian looked ahead, being able to see how the couple escaped. He did nothing to stop them.
But I memorize their faces. He memorized them so much that he could even see their contours defined in his mind.
"I should be more cautious" – He blamed himself for getting distracted, when he didn't know the other person.
He just looked at the coins again, such coins had blood running around, they must have been from some corpse that they must have killed earlier.
I sigh a little tiredly.
