Chapter 320: Guide (2/2)

”What happened?”

”She…. She doesn't want to come.” The person barely commented, before fainting. The attendants brought him to the healers and the frown on the face of the Sect-leader grew more and more irritated.

It was all good and comfortable when she listened to every word he said and got naively manipulated. He knew dealing with her was difficult, but he never encountered that because of her trust in him as well as she felt that she is only paying back what she owed to the faction, since she was a part of it too.

But, since the original trust was broken, there is no way for him to easily manipulate her as he wished.

She is not a genius for nothing. She was trained to use her intelligence in a particular way since childhood, but once she was forced to find a new direction, these naively manipulated geniuses are the worst people you could encounter.

They would now become extremely cynical and self-centered.

Now, she recognized that there is no benefit for her by helping the Sect all the time, she can only do so if she has any work with the sect. Then would they agree to her conditions? She would force them to agree to those conditions.

Her requirements might be important for her, but her help is more important to the sect.

As the higher-ups of the sect are having a harder and harder time dealing with Sirona's change.

There is something else that is changing in the corner of the planet.

In the eastern corner of the planet in a small village.

Three youngsters are beating the crap out of the middle-aged man. They are all acolytes, while the middle-aged man is a normal person with no cultivation.

”How dare you refuse to pay up? Huh? You seem to have grown balls in the past week.”

The one in the middle of the three youngsters spoke with an arrogant tone.

”Please forgive me, I was ill for the past week and couldn't get to earn anything. I will pay you next week.”

The middle-aged man replied with an extremely pitiful and feeble voice.

”You better pay up. Otherwise, I will kill you.” The youngsters left him and the middle-aged man stood up weakly as he walked back to his home.

On the way back, she started crying his heart out and tears streaked over his face and the vision became blurry.

”Why do I have to grow through this? What sin have I committed? Is being unable to awaken and being weak is my mistake, why is the world so unfair?” He muttered to himself as he opened the main gate of his house.

He entered the house and sat down as he started weeping even more. He was sick of all the suffering. The three youngsters who are half his age beat the crap out of him since he didn't pay for the 'protection' fee he owed them.

He couldn't take it. All he wanted was to make an honest living, but it was so difficult to get by in this world, he is even thinking of ending his pathetic and miserable life, but he couldn't do so as he was too much of a coward.

As he was lost in his thoughts of his pathetic life, a voice woke him up from his daze.

”Do you want to improve your life and become strong enough to control your own decisions?”

The voice was melodious, even though he didn't see anyone, he still replied.

”Yes.”

”Do you want to stand up for yourself and against this unfair world?”

”Yes.”

”Do you want to be treated equally and experience the fairness of the world?”

”Yes.”

”Then take this. I will be your 'Guide' in this path to fairness and equality.” With those words, a pill rolled over the wooden floor as it reached him.

The middle-aged man took the pill in his hands and was hesitating.

”Why are you hesitating? What do you have to lose?” The melodious voice continued and he became resolute.

”That's right. What do I have to lose?” He muttered and swallowed the pill.
