185 Story (1/2)

Just as they exited Edmond's room, Ajax stooped all of a sudden as he remembered something.

”Senior Brother Paulin, I have something to say to Captain Edmond. I will meet you outside,” Ajax said to Paulin, who was also stopped seeing Akax halt in his tracks.

”Sure, I have to go to my room first anyway. See you outside,” Paulin replied before moving upstairs.

Without any delay, Ajax returned to Edmond's room.

”Huh? Ajax, what happened. Do you need something,” seeing Ajax, who just left his room, returned in a hurry, Edmond questioned immediately.

”Nothing Captain Edmond,” Ajax stopped for a moment before taking a long breath he continued, ”I have something I want to give you.”

”Huh?” Edmond was puzzled but became happy and asked in a curious voice, ”What is it?”

Edmond became excited not because he thought Ajax would give something valuable, but because he was receiving something from Ajax, in whom he saw his son.

Which father wouldn't be excited, receiving something from his son.

”Here, I want to give this fruit to you,” Ajax took out a huge fruit from his inner world but acted as he took it out from his space ring.

”Huh? What is it, Ajax” Edmond took the huge fruit into his hand and observed it.

”Th..this,” As he observed it keenly, he was shocked by the huge fruit in his hand.

”Ajax, where did you get this?” He was still unable to suppress his shock as he asked Ajax.

”Huh? Captain Edmond, Do you know what this fruit is?” Ajax was shocked inwards but didn't show it out and act as he didn't have any knowledge about the fruit.

”First, tell me where did you find it?” Edmond didn't reply to Ajax's question; instead, he asked about its whereabouts.

”I found it in the cursed wilderness when I went on a mission earlier. During that time, I not only found the Longevity fruits but also this fruit which was very small and so I used a special technique to preserve the whole tree. Just today, it detached itself from the plant, which I assumed the fruit became ripe” Ajax looked at Edmond's face and continued,

”And I thought it to give you since I don't whether it was useful or not.”

Seeing the serious look on Edmond's face, Ajax explained the story he prepared earlier slowly.

”Really? Do you know a special technique to carry living plants on you?” Another shock raised in Edmond's heart.

The techniques that could allow one to carry living plants on them were scarce and valuable. So he was shocked by Ajax's unique technique.

”But, when we met, you said you didn't remember anything?” A frown formed on Edmond's face as he asked Ajax with a serious expression.

”I don't know, how but when I started cultivating, this special technique appeared in my head mysteriously,” Ajax planned all the questions that Edmond would ask, so he answered them with shuttering.
