142 The Monk in The Bar (1/2)
Genesis shook his head and said, ”Why did you not tell me who Peerless was earlier? It could have saved me a lot of trouble.”
Ezra ordered some whiskey and glanced sideways, ”What? So you can have him join your kung fu cult.”
Genesis replied, ”I merely wanted to guide the boy onto the right path.”
”Right, just like you guided me to booze. Thanks for that.”
”I merely suggested you drink to calm your spirit, I didn't think you would become a drunkard.”
Ezra laughed, ”Right, you didn't think that the psycho who killed millions wouldn't have issues with drinking.” He got his glass and chugged it down in one fell swoop.
”Enjoy it while you can boy. The stronger you get the weaker alcohol becomes, I know you are intentionally keeping your level small so you can still get drunk but admit it, even ten bottles of Irish Whiskey would only get you tipsy for a few moments. Anyway, babysitting Peerless isn't your duty.”
Ezra raised a brow, ”Babysitting Peerless? I have no idea what you mean boss. It normal for me to drink.”
”Not at the same bar for months on end. I know you have been observing him quite a bit since you won't tell me how you know him can you at least tell me what you know about him?” asked Genesis.
Ezra simply shrugged and downed another glass like he was drinking water. Genesis sighed and changed the topic, ”Dragonheart has the tetragranium.”
Ezra's body shivered as he quickly sobered up. With his mastery over his body, this was simple. He sobered up because he knew the result of this.
Genesis continued, ”This means Peerless' identity will only hold out for a fortnight or so. I hope he gets stronger fast, otherwise, his demise will come sooner than I expected.”
Ezra looked up and said, ”Boss, I wanted to ask you a favor.”
This time it was Genesis' turn to raise a brow, ”What?”
”Boss, you said I can't find anyone world-class or higher from the four forces, I assume that still stands?”
”Of course, Ezra, what is your agenda?”
Ezra put on the most polite face he could, ”See that pussy archer dude almost killed Will some time ago.”
Genesis nodded while he squinted, ”Go on.”
”Well you see, I was wondering if I could-”
”Absolutely not!” shouted Genesis.
Ezra quickly started fawning, ”Hey hey Boss let me finish. I didn't say I would kill him. He almost killed Peerless, so I just wanna almost kill him, you know, even the odds a little. You get what I mean right?”
Genesis squinted until his eyes were no different from slits. His aura made Ezra shiver a bit, causing the latter to speak out, ”Hey I was kidding relax boss.”
