Chapter 152 A Karmic Debt Must Not Be Underestimated (2/2)

He had had the idea the very moment he had seen Kyla, her brother, and her boyfriend coht That was the reason why he had re place

People could have thought that he wanted to e would pay in case they'd lose, but that was only half of the reason What he wanted to do, was to remind the two elders that all of this had happened for a reason and one reason alone Zack's accusations

The Illusory Maiden looked at Kyla, Kien and the young man with fury in her eyes, and said ”Come with me” she then walked towards Daniel's side, and after approaching Zack, she said ”Allow ize on account of our sect”

Zack looked quietly, as the Illusory Maiden bowed apologetically

Next to her, Kien couldn't even look at him in the eyes, while his sister and her boyfriend turned to look at the elders of their school, as if hoping that they could save them from this huered eyes, as the words of the Illusory Maiden reached their ears They said ”You are allowed to come back to the sect if you wish I will personally tend to your training, and protect you from now on”

She was more than aware of how her presence on Kyla's side of the story had gave an additional layer of credibility to her lies, so, she wanted toill happen to these three” She then added

Daniel looked at Zack, which had a conflicted expression on his face He didn't want hieance or hate, so he moved his head closer to him, and whispered ”Kar that you ret in the future”

Daniel's words hit Zack deeply, leaving hi seconds He was thinking of all the suffering he had gone through, and how harshly he had been treated, but also of howwith his friends when he was a kid

The words that Daniel whispered in his ears kept ringing in his head over and over again, until finally, it struck hiet He was offering a chance to start anew, and to join his group

He had nothing left in this city One of his two childhood friends had betrayed him, and the other had refused to believe in him His sect had kicked him out, and the majority of the inhabitants of the city would always look at him with the doubt that maybe, just maybe, he had really done it

Rationality quickly took over the hate he felt, as he turned towards Daniel, and after nodding, he looked at the Illusory Maiden, and said ”I already have a group now I just want ain”

”What about them?” Asked the Illusory Maiden

For the first time since Daniel had met him, Zack showed the parvence of a smile, and said ”I don't care”

Pocket Di on the balcony outside of his roo around hi on the chair on the other side of the table, just like every other night in the past three nights, sat Alesia

The two of the day of work, and talk while trying a new type of liquor

Despite the late hour, loud noises could be heard co from all around the castle This was caused by the industrialisation of his pocket dimension

Now that people could earn powerful cultivation resources through siive up sleep just in order to increase their income This had caused the crystals to be quickly adopted as an acceptable type of currency within the city, villages, and auxiliary pocket dimensions

COUGH COUGH ”Oh, this is” hic ”definitely the strongest one we've tried so far” hic Said Alesia through a hiccup caused by the sheer power of the alcohol contained in the liquor they had been drinking

”I think we should ease up on the strong stuff I don't want to have to carry you around because you are too drunk to walk straight Hehe” Commented Daniel with an unusual blush on his cheeks

”Look who's talking! You look like” hic ”an apple Hahaha!” Alesia burst out laughing at the sight of the half drunken Daniel The fact that she was half drunk herself didn't help her in holding back her laughter

The two laughed for a few seconds, until finally, they put down their glasses, and like they had gotten used to, looked at the dark and empty sky

After a few”So, what did you want to show me?” A couple of minutes were all it took for the two of them to sober up from alcohol

In response, Daniel weakly waved his hand

The very next hts appeared in the empty sky They were all of different, and eht Distant, and always present

Alesia looked at the sea of stars, and recognized it as the same formation of stars which could be observed from their world, which Daniel had carefully replicated

All around the pocket dimension, the various cultivators, ranked beasts, and elenized it as well

The only one asn't looking at the sky, was Daniel, whose eyes were glued on Alesia's amazed expression

After a few moments, he turned to look at the sky as well
