Chapter 62 - Skinny Jack (1/2)
In the main road of the valley of death, which was a narrow path between a long range of mountains, there were two horses slowly pulling a carriage, behind it there were another two carriages. In the front and back, there were ten strong looking riders protecting them.
The carriage's driver was a middle-aged man with long black hair. With a whip in hand, his eyes looked ahead with fear within them as though he was about to cross the gate of hell.
With each crack of the whip, the horses neighed and the carriage moved forward leaving a trail of dust behind.
Inside the carriage was an old man who had a weird look on his face as he was looking at the couple seating in front of them.
” Skinny Jack, so this lady is your wife.” Asked the old man as he was looking at the beautiful woman in front of him. Looking at features of the woman, the old man was into a daze and was overwhelmed by her beauty.
The woman was in her mid-twenties. With an extreme beauty, her pitch black hair was like a waterfall and had tall brows and a pair of mischievous eyes like a nine-tail fox. Her oval face was blessed with beautiful red lips. This woman was seductive while she also carried a gentle feel like water. Just her smile was already enough to charm and steal the soul of any man.
As for her figures, it was even more fascinating. The old man's little brother had been in a coma for many years, however, just a smile from that lady was enough to wake it up from his slumber. The old man had lost all hope for this little brother of his, but that woman was like a divine doctor and her peerless beauty was like a heavenly medicine which gave life to his dead little brother.
In contrast, the man named skinny Jack, the self-proclaimed husband of that angel was, in fact, a fat ass. His cheeks were like two mega-dumplings. Whether it was his look or feature, these two people were like heaven and earth. Skinny jack looked more like a servant than the husband. Not only that, from the way he dressed, he was most likely poor while the lady had noble air around her and her clothing was definitely top notch. The old man was a merchant so he knew expansive stuff when he saw them.
” Yes, grandpa Cao. This is my wife Monalisa, we just got married a week ago, but her parents didn't approve of our relationship so we eloped. We are going to Ozuna city, then from there, we will leave for the Nicholas Empire.” Answered skinny jack with an innocent and a sad look on his face.
Looking at skinny jack, the old man couldn't but laugh in his heart. The guy looked like he had just eaten three people and her belly looked like he was pregnant with twins, yet, he had the audacity to call himself skinny jack. If you are skinny jack than what am I? Sexy young Cao!
” Love is blind indeed.” whispered the old man to himself.
” Did you say something Granpa?.”
” No, I was just talking to myself.” Answered the old man.
The man known as Skinny Jack was none other than Shad after he had put the mask and changed his appearance in this chubby looking guy, and the woman was of course Monalisa.
After he left the Lightning Corps behind, Shad had found three merchants carriage ahead of them. He asked the old man within the carriage in front for a ride and pretended that his horse had run away. It was Shad's first time passing to this territory and he knew how dangerous it was, so he had decided to blend in with these people to see how things work.
He used the mask to change his appearance and pretended to be husband and wife with Monalisa. The old man was very amiable and let them travel with them, he had even let both of them sit with him in his personal carriage. However, the old man had trouble believing that Monalisa was his wife. Well, who could blame him, he indeed really looked like a toad wishing to eat sawn meat.
As for Monalisa, she was smiling and giggling all the way which made Shad looked as though he was lying.
” Anyway, skinny jack, we will be arriving at the checkpoint of the valley of death in a moment, I hope you will stay within the carriage with your wife and don't go outside no matter what while the mountain bandit stopped us, especially your wife otherwise I am afraid your beautiful wife will become mountain tigers' snack.” Even though he didn't believe skinny jack, he still didn't want them to get caught by the bandits, especially the woman. Besides gold coins, what the mountain tigers bandit like the most was a beautiful woman. He couldn't even count how many women they have defiled within this valley and how many husbands that have lost their wives to them in this checkpoint. Skinny jack must be an idiot to bring a woman like that to pass the valley of death.
