113 Chapter 113 (1/2)

Matt looked down at his palm that just slapped the youth into the wall, he didn't think he would make him fly that hard.

'He was weaker than expected... good that I lowered my strength... could have killed the kid...'

He gulped, he misjudged how strong that young master was. He was still in battle mode from fighting his bodyguards so even though he meant to give him a gentle pat to the cheek, that would at most make him go down to one knee. He gave him a strong enough smack to make him comedically fly to the side while knocking out a couple of teeth in the process.

'Well, at least they are down and don't look like they will be resisting anymore.'

He glanced at the warriors that were clutching various parts of their bodies, the metal shrapnel had lodged itself into their flesh and probably hurt like hell. The kids were protected behind him thanks to his transparent shield, so they were all fine and dandy.

'Well then... what should I do now...'

He looked at the disgruntled bodyguards that were squirming on the ground, trying to remove metal pieces from their cheeks. He could try to round them all up, make them carry the young master over to the police station. But there were these crying children behind his back, he was slightly afraid that the orphans would just run away if he wasn't paying attention.

\”Hey you there, what's the Xing Clan second son's name?\”

One of the bodyguards that wasn't injured looked up at the scary grandpa and quickly replied.

\”T-the young master's name is Xing Shie, please elder show mercy, the Xing clan will surly repay you handsomely.\”

The man quickly bowed, hoping that this crazy old fart wouldn't just kill them all. If they made it back to the Xing Clan compound they could get some backup and take care of this elder.

Matt decided to just use his police force for the job, he also wanted to see how they would handle the procedure of apprehending a young master. He wasn't sure if everyone was on the same page as he was though, after the fiasco with the lady and her son that his workers and clan members refused to help out.

'Hope they won't take any bribes... but this would be a good opportunity to see if they do. It might be better if that happened now than later.'

Matt didn't kid himself, there were a couple of bad apples even back in Spirit Spring City, but they were far too afraid of him to do anything about him. Still, he knew that they were waiting for him to slip up, little schemers that they were. He already disowned the clan members that left the city during the time he was at that secret ground. He couldn't trust people that just run away whenever times got tough.

'I need to open that school soon so then we can start indoctrin... training the kids to be good policemen, yeah...'

Matthew knew that most people in this world liked to be placed in groups. They would stay loyal to the person that gave them the opportunity to better themselves, for instance by giving them some cultivation manuals and some resources to break through a realm or two. But there were always one or two of those scheming types, that everything was just a stepping stone for their way to the top.

He had the young master's name now, so he just turned around being sure to reply with a resounding snort to the pleading that the bodyguard was doing.

\”Don't worry, I'm not the one that will be taking care of you, I will be sure to report this incident to the brand new and glorious, Zhang Clan, Police Department!\”

He made sure to pronounce the Zhang Clan name clearly, it would surely send the cultivators trembling in their boots. In reality, they didn't know what the old guy was on about, they knew that the Zhang Clan was doing some strange stuff in the background, but they still thought that even they would just take a bribe and be done with it.

He finally turned around the group of children, the enemies were slowly removing themselves from the old shed that was close to crumbling due to the release of the warriors fighting aura. The kids were still scared, tears in the eyes of some but some of the older ones had that glint in their eyes, like someone that had been through a lot.

\”Don't worry children, grandpa here will protect all of you, come with me, we need to treat your friend here first, then let's all go to a nice restaurant, you probably haven't had a warm meal in quite some time!\”

The kids looked at each other, the younger ones were instinctively on board after the grandpa mentioned a warm meal. The older ones were more apprehensive as they didn't really trust adults anymore. They didn't have any role models and most of them had no older family members left alive or caring for them. The boy that Matt healed being a rare case that still had a loving mother with him.

Luckily he had the boy to speak up for him this time around, otherwise, he would probably have to stuff the kids into his energy bubble.

\”Don't worry, we can trust this Senior, he healed my wounds too!\”

Thank's to the youth he earned some trust, the other kids looked at their older brother and nodded they knew him well enough to know that he wouldn't lie to them. They were always worried about their beaten elder brother that was slowly succumbing to his internal injuries.
