"ENOUGH!" An angry roar descended on the place and a heavy pressure scattered in all directions.
The rampant noise was drowned out in the aftermath as even breathing seemed like a difficult chore to accomplish.
This magical effect continued for several breaths before vanishing without any trace whatsoever.
'Interesting! This old man is not as dull as he looks.' Our bored gamer rubbed his fat chin and looked at Elder Yang Yan with renewed curiosity.
"We accept your terms, Young Master Chen Yan." Elder Yang Yan nodded and took an item from his person. It was a ring.
With just a gentle flick of a finger, the ring arrived in front of Clark as it continued to spiral endlessly in midair. It was indeed a neat trick to have for an old man.
Our good gamer was also not one to waste time and so after he got this gift, he could only announce to the world that the deal had indeed been completed.
"From today onward, I... Chen Yan does not have any more relations with Yang Guanyu." Clark said in a calm manner.
He then turned his gaze upon the heavenly beauty of his ex fiancee and could not help but give her a little spoiler of what was to come soon.
"You will regret ever breaking this engagement, little girl." With these last words, Clark left the scene without care at all at the harsh taunting and cruel words that followed his path.
With no guaranteed strength to fight yet, it was suicide to throw a tantrum in this premature time.
"Young Master Chen Yan, you..." Ye Xia greeted when she saw our bored gamer come out of the meeting hall.
Although she was not allowed inside but hearing the commotion and what the discussion was about was pretty easy for someone like her.
It did not take one to be a genius in order to get closer to the doors and sharpen your senses to what was happening in your surroundings.
The task was absolutely a piece of cake for Ye Xia who was already in the 3rd Stage of Qi Opening Realm.
"Don't talk, Ye Xia. This is not the place." Our bored gamer chastised and continued walking back to his residence within the clan.
A few breaths more and he finally uttered something important to his loyal servant behind him.
"Is my breakfast ready?" Clark asked. It seemed like having a big fat body was quite the task indeed as his belly was practically begging for huge supplements already.
"Yes, Young Master. I have it prepared as you requested." Ye Xia replied positively. She was good at her job and knew the favorite foods and recipes of her young master.
This smart young girl has been serving Chen Yan for 8 years already.
"You have taken great pain and sacrifices, Ye Xia. I shall reward you handsomely later on." Clark promised without even looking back at the young woman at his back.
"It is my duty to serve you, Young Master Chen Yan. If not for you and your father, i would have long died on the streets of the city or may have suffered a fate worse than death. My life belongs to the Chen Clan alone!"
Ye Xia responded gravely and the emotions that she hid in the past resurfaced once more to the present. Being a little orphan and poor one was a sad combination indeed.
Ye Xia could still remember those days and nights that she had lived on an aching and empty stomach.
"Hmmm... The Chen Clan is lucky to have you also." Our bored gamer said last and the trek back home went on in silence. It did not take them long to find a luxurious residence in the clan.
This was the home of Chen Dong. In the years past, this house has enjoyed the care of lots of servants and disciples. Alas, everything changed since Chen Yan was born.
A trash young boy who could not cultivate in the ways of the Dao. Chen Dong used a sizable amount of his resources and wealth to improve the physique of his son but it was all in vain.
Chen Dong lost much in the aftermath of his fool's quest. The servants left and the disciples dwindled to nothing. In the end, only three souls were left to man this huge house.
Chen Dong, Chen Yan, and their loyal servant girl Ye Xia.
"Here. Take it." Clark said once they arrived in the dining hall.
"What is this for, Young Master Chen Yan?" Ye Xia's eyes grew big as she looked at the archaic ring on the palm of our bored gamer.
She had a guess that this was perhaps an interspatial ring that only the Elders in the Family had the luxury of possessing.
"There's two thousand Pure Qi Stones inside that ring. Use half to buy some magical beast meat in the market. We could use that to strengthen our diet for a change.
The other half, use it to cultivate yourself. I reckon that you could arrive at the 4th Stage of the Qi Opening Realm soon enough." Clark offered the ring towards his loyal servant Ye Xia.
It was great that Nancy could still offer him unlimited inventory access in this world. This way, he could easily store his loot without the use of interspatial rings and such items.
"I can't take it, Young Master!" Ye Xia was stunned when she heard what her young master wanted her to do.
To get a thousand pure qi stones for her own use, this was a truth that was unheard of. She did not even have the opportunity of taking in a single pure qi stone in order to cultivate.
How much more one thousand of them in one go?!
"If you don't want it then I may as well let others take it instead." Clark shrugged and carelessly threw the ring towards a nearby waste container.
"Young Master!" Ye Xia was horrified by the act.
"WHOOSH!" Her body moved on its own accord and before she knew it, she was already grasping the solid metal ring on her palms.
The thing felt cold and heavy than its natural counterparts.
"I'm glad that you have accepted my gift, Ye Xia. Come. Let us eat together." Our good gamer smiled and began feasting on the simple and humble dishes that were on the table.
There was still so much to be done after this.
