110 Chapter 110 (1/2)

Matt looked at the child, it was covered up with a blanket and no more in critical condition. He wasn't sure what kind of person would beat up an 11-year old like that, but he would certainly like to have a word with them. For now, he left then walked over to the mother, that was a bit out of it after he calmed her down with his technique.

”The boy will be fine, he just needs to rest. He should wake up soon.”

The woman snapped out of it and looked at her boy, then to the scary-looking older man. She dropped down to her hands and knees, doing the usual head bobbing maneuver that made Matt uncomfortable, he could never get used to how quick these people went down to their knees.

”Thank you, Senior, how can I repay you... I don't have anything to repay you with, I can be your slave, I'll do anything... even...”

The grandpa in question moved back slightly after hearing the woman wanted to become his slave and even wanting to do extra services.

”What? girly what are you even on about. This was free treatment, I don't need any slaves.”

He turned around, still trying to keep his elder persona up. He swished his sleeves and moved so that she could only see the back on his head.

”Haven't you heard, the generous and magnanimous Zhang Clan is offering treatment free of charge, they are truly a virtuous family. If you want to be grateful to anyone, be grateful to them. I also heard that they are accepting children from broken homes into a special school, your child has some cultivation aptitude, you should go ask about it... and stop bowing your head already...”

The woman didn't look at him, just hanging her head down as if he would poke her eyes out if she dared to look at his face. But she soon moved her gaze upwards as the elder started talking about a special school and that everything here was free.

”M-my son has potential?”

”Ah yes, with the right schooling he shouldn't really have trouble in reaching the foundation establishment realm.”

He checked the youth's potential, it wasn't anything great just a C. But this was enough and slightly above average from what he could tell. Most people had potentials in the F - C range, with F being quite rare and people with that having zero aptitudes for cultivation. Though an 'F' aptitude also showed up if people had some illnesses like blocked meridians that didn't allow for cultivation.

The 'C' potential was the top one an average person could have, 'C+' was the start for gifted people this would be the start of the gifted tear. 'S' was the most you could have, the largest potential that Matt had ever come across was the one his two disciples had being at a 'B+'. So this kid was top at the average mark, which wasn't bad at all.

”F-foundation establishment?”

The woman got dizzy, her child wasn't even at the first level of Qi condensation the family not having any cultivation manuals at all. Though people reached that level naturally in their older teen years even without any manuals just by passively absorbing the rich Qi in the surroundings.

”Ah yes, he'll probably reach the first level of Qi Condensation soon, maybe even the second level, his body absorbed a lot of my healing energies, guess you could call that a side effect...”

The woman gasped once more, there were a couple of the workers listening to the conversation from the side as they gathered waiting for their punishment.

'Side effect my ass, this is a big scoop!'

The workers started to think, that maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to go into some alleys and get themselves trashed by some hooligans. When the elder healed them afterward, maybe they could get through their cultivation bottlenecks.

”But I need to get some things done, just stay with your son he should wake up soon.”

He walked back to his office, glaring at the workers from a side profile which made them get goosebumps. It was time to punish the infidels, he needed to show how things were run here and explain to them that they couldn't just leave injured people outside in the cold.

”Everyone into my office!”

He walked in first, hunched over slightly and with his hands behind his back. He was getting used to acting like an old geezer, it was kind of fun he could have temper tantrums and the people just thought it was normal. He waited for them to enter his large office, there was enough room for everybody to sit down in a heel sitting position.

Everyone was nervous, they had their back straight and knees tightly pressed while sitting down in this uncomfortable position. Their boss was sitting at his desk, just sipping on his tea while everyone was quiet and afraid to mutter a word. Finally, he placed the teacup to the side and spoke up, his voice stern and domineering.

”Do you know what you did wrong?”

The people looked at each other, no one really wanted to speak up but someone had to, one worker finally mustered up some courage as he answered.

”W-we didn't follow orders and caused the Elder to lose face?”

Wei Hung's face twitched a bit after he heard that reply, the people in the room not sure if that was the right answer but it seemed logical. The Elder and Zhang Clan wanted to look magnanimous for some reason, so if the Seniors came to that decision it would be a loss of face if their juniors didn't follow through on that order. They didn't realize that the answer that this man was looking for, was a lot simpler and he just wanted them to show some compassion.

”Ho ho? So, it was all about me losing face now, is it...”

The man rubbed his long white beard and glared at the people in the room. From his reaction, the workers knew that something was off.

”Damn you people, show some empathy once in a while! This isn't about saving or losing face you fools!”
