Chapter 660 - 605: Unaware (1/2)

”Arthur, this place is awesome!”

Shen Shen was looking at every shop and food stall, barely able to hold herself. She was holding Arthur's hand as they walked around shopping district and sightseeing. Arthur didn't force Esco and Vyncent to accompany him but Fariya stuck close to him, claiming that wherever her master goes, she follows.

Her outfit garnered a lot of attention so she was ordered by Arthur to change into a more respectable clothes, which she did, in the end. The succubus was now wearing a flamboyant green dress, which wasn't as revealing as her original clothes but still pulled the gazes of almost every men, causing the parasite quite the head-ache.

Fariya wasn't a heavenly beauty but her charm caused by her race naturally grabbed the attention of every male around them.

”Are you sure you want to go?” Asked the red-haired Esco. Vyncent was his only friend in here and it didn't seem like he'll be able to go convince him to stay.

He could go with him but he was weak and can't protect himself out there, furthermore, he can't hope to always count on Vyncent.

”I can't linger here forever. There's a time and place for separation and I think it's here and now.”

Vyncent kindly smiled at the criminal, patted his shoulder, and jumped off the silver Spirit Boat. The flying ship was still outside of Ramel City and its only passenger was Esco, who obediently remained aboard and patiently waited for Arthur and the rest to come back. He trusted his instincts and knew that sticking with the parasite would him to the best outcome and guarantee his safety.

Fortunately, no one was foolish enough to attack the massive silver Spirit Boat and its interior was able to accommodate the red-haired man, who was extremely bored now that he has no one to talk to.

…

Vyncent safely landed on the golden sands, his long brown robe fluttering in the wind as he took a deep breath and looked at the sky-piercing black gate hundreds of meters away. After an inordinate amount of time, a sigh escaped his lips as he took out the grey coin, which was a corrupted Zen Treasure. It was giving off an ominous black light, pulsating like a real heart. The black light entered his body and seemed to be telling him to head South, wanting him to reach a certain place.

The blondie didn't have a clear destination in mind to he listened to the coin's wishes, his body melted into the sounds as he used his secret technique. With incredible speed, the unseen Vyncent departed from the entrance of the capital city, his presence soon disappearing from the vicinities.

”Arthur…”

Shen Shen timidly pulled Arthur's sleeve, her eyes were looking at a pitiful figure standing at the side of the road. It was a sun-weathered elder wearing dirty clothes, his face suffering from the vicissitudes of times, his eyes half-open as he hand was stretched, his palm opened as he silently begged anyone who passed by.

”It's no use taking pity on any beggar you see.”

Arthur shook his head, unwilling to do anything. Unlike her, he had seen this sight everywhere, even on Earth and, from his point of view, helping one would only lead you to help another, which will make you fall into a never-ending cycle.

”But…”

The girl's expression turned into a sad one as she refused to give up. Her puppy-like eyes looked back at Arthur, making him let out a long sigh as he pulled her hand and walked to the elderly beggar.

”This is the first and last time, okay?”

Unbeknownst to him, the girl was a newborn and it's the first time she saw such a sight. She was far too innocent and could not ignore the old man, who was thinner than a stick and appeared dead on the outside, were it not for half-open eyes.
