529 Master Liye (1/2)

Yale was slightly surprised when he noticed that Jika was cursed, but Jika and Dan were completely flabbergasted.

”Don't worry, I am good dealing with curses, so I will heal you. However, I would like to do some research about how curses work in this universe first.”

Jika's curse was different form the curses that Yale knew, and even if it had been of a type he knew, he wouldn't have dared to treat Jika without obtaining proper knowledge about the matter.

After all, he could kill her if he was reckless.

”Thank you, sir.”

Jika was still trying to understand the situation, but Dan knew that what Yale had just promised was far more valuable than any skill. It was a chance for Jika to reach immortality.

Dan wouldn't mind if Jika were just slow, but if she never reached immortality, she would end up dead just from aging.

”No need to thank me. I just have a personal grudge with people that curse others before they were born.”

Yale might now be very knowledgeable about the curse, but he knew that it wouldn't work on someone that had already been born.

”Before I was born... Why would someone curse me before even being born?”

Jika couldn't believe that she had been cursed from the start because she only noticed problems after being near to become an immortal.

”This curse only prevents you from reaching immortality, so it is normal you didn't notice it until the time to reach immortality.”

Yale could guess the doubts in Jika's heart.

”As for the reasons, there are a lot of probabilities, but most likely, your own parents did it or asked someone to do it. It is impossible that you could be cursed before being born without your mother noticing it. If she knew about it, I doubt that your father didn't know it, and if they never told you about it, shows that they didn't want you to know. After all, if the fact that you were cursed were known, it was possible that you escaped your fate of becoming a slave since it wouldn't be a problem of talent. I am sure that a sixth level immortal like your uncle's father-in-law could have healed you without problems years ago.”

After hearing Yale's deduction, Dan and Jika could understand what Yale was meaning. Jika was born to become a slave. Her parents wanted her to become merchandise to sell, nothing else.

”Why? Why?”

Jika started to ask while crying. Although her own family wanted to turn her into a slave, she always believed that it was just because they followed the rules blindly, but at that moment, she understood that they always wanted that outcome.

”Cry if you want, but by crying, you won't solve anything. I know it is hard, but you must strive hard to continue forward. That is the path to becoming strong.”

Yale spoke to motivate Jika, but it didn't work at all.

”You can't understand it! I am cursed from even before being born. My only fate is to be a slave! How can I continue living?”

Jika felt that efforts were useless since she was fated from birth to become a slave.

Dan tried to calm her since he believed that Yale could heal her, but Jika didn't calm.

”I understand it very well. After all, I was also cursed before birth and worked to erase that curse and continue forwards. The enemies of my universe cursed me in a way that was far worse than erasing talent or death. You don't understand that a short life isn't the worse outcome for someone.”

For Yale losing all the emotions was far worse than death because that would be losing himself. Although if Jika were enslaved, she would also lose her emotions, with Yale there, she wouldn't be enslaved, so even with the curse, her fate wasn't so bad.

Jika stopped complaining after hearing Yale.

”What happened to those who cursed you?”

Hearing that question, Yale smiled.

”I killed them or gave them a fate worse than death. Look at this crystal, if I crush it, their whole universe will be doomed. Moreover, they have already lost their path to immortality, they can't even become as strong as you.”

After hearing those words, Jika and Dan understood that Yale wasn't a saint. Against his enemies, he was heartless.

They also understood that Yale spoke seriously about having a grudge with people who curse others before birth.

”Sir, if I continue forward, I will be able to become as strong as you?”

Jika was enlightened by Yale's words. She would turn strong and return to settle accounts with her biological family.

”I can't ensure that because the path of everyone is different, but if you follow my guidance, obtaining revenge is possible.”

Jika was excited after hearing those words.

”Sir, by following your guidance, you mean?”
