48 The Man Who Was Once a Joker (2/2)

”It is all that brat's fault. I swear I will one day take vengeance. As long as I don't meet him again.”

The boss was running along the outskirts of the city in the open fields. He grinded his teeth in anger as he ran.

”I am afraid that is not possible.”

A spear tip suddenly appeared between his eyes and then it became black. It happened too quickly. he didn't even have time to process what had happened. Jun Fan stood on the open fields and swing his spear a few times to flick off the blood staining the tip. He looked over to the the man sprawled over on the floor. On the body of a dead man, the tattoo seemed to lost the impact it once had. Jun Fan frowned for a moment before planting his spear between the eyes of the bear and lifted the body up. A image of a pair of scaly wings appeared beneath his feet as he jumped up and like before, he vanished without a trace.

Xin Fan picked up the dead body of Xiao Feng and slowly carried it over to the side with the sister following close behind. He took out a shovel from his inventory and started to dig a hole a meter deep. Xiao Xing watched as he slowly lowered the body into the hole. She looked at her brother for one last time before the dirt started to pile over. Xin Fan took a wooden plank lying nearby and planted it right at the head of the grave. A small blade of energy emerged from his arm as he started to carve.

Here lies Xiao Feng

”Every debt has a debtor”

May his soul rest in peace.

As Xin Fan said some parting words, Jun Fan returned back to the scene. He solemnly walked over to the grave giving a small bow before turning to Xin Fan. As he saw the branding on Xin Fan's back, a pained look could be seen in his eyes.

”That mark is recent. I think we can get it removed.”

Xin Fan did not say a word and simply bowed apologetically. As he did so, a system message rung through his head.

[ Quest completion at 100% ]

[ Unlocked 'Sealing Rice' in the shop menu ]

Although there was a message for completion, Xin Fan did not feel satisfied with the outcome. He watched as Chilong slowly amble towards him. Xin Fan ran over and gave Chilong a punch to the face knocking him to the ground.

”Why didn't you protect her?!”

Although Xin Fan said this, internally he knew it was not Chilong's fault. He was up against hordes of enemies that were just as strong as him. He extended his hand out to help Chilong back up.

”Sorry.”

As he got up, a couple of footsteps could be heard entering the lot. Xin Fan raised his scythe with the last of his energy but he was stopped by the spear of Jun Fan. Jun Fan shook his head as he watched a squad of armored men enter.

”Don't worry. They're with us.”

A man in his early 20s took off his helmet as he stared at Jun Fan. He had a long hair and a delicate face which resembled someone Xin Fan knew.

”Did you really have to dump his body in front of the station?”

”Are you a captain now Xiao Lang?”
