Chapter 312 -Jiang Chen
Jiang Chen was filled with gratitude towards Dave. He thought that everyone he met looked down on him. Just like Dave said, he was living in the mountains together with his grandpa and father. He admired his father the most because he was strong and taught him swordsmanship, but his father said that his grandpa was a better swordsman than he was.
His grandpa always liked to drink wine, and he rarely talked to him. However, before he left the mountain to gain experience, his grandpa taught him a swordsmanship called <Misty Sword Art>, and he only comprehended its first form.
His grandpa was mysterious, but all he knew was that his father and grandpa were strong, so that’s why he was not afraid of young master Roco. The sword he was carrying was given by his father, and he said that it was his father’s sword since he was a kid, and he gave it to him as his inheritance.
The sword was rusty, but it was harder than any metal, and he felt that he was stronger when he was using the sword. Jiang Chen was a very talented swordsman since he was a kid, that’s why his grandpa taught him the Misty Sword Art, which is his signature art.
When he went down the mountain, he realized that he was very poor, and he could not even afford some food in the city. His money was only enough for a week, so he tried to look for a job and became a mercenary. He became successful, joined the mercenaries, and went on a mission.
The mission was to escort Young Master Roco to the Origin City, but he didn’t expect that Roco would covet his sword, and he was hunted for many days. He thought that people would be good to him as long as he treated them with kindness, but he was wrong all along.
He now realized why his father told him to go down the mountain to experience the true nature of humans. Unlike in the mountain, it was peaceful, and he didn’t need to think of material things. Even so, as a youngster, he still sought to have fun and enjoy his young days, but it was destroyed by Roco. If he hadn’t met Dave, he would surely have become crippled or dead. He saw that Roco could break some rules, and the guards didn’t care.
The onlookers were still amazed by Dave’s action, and they didn’t know why he helped him. Roco was angry to be ignored because even some people in the Alexander clan gave him face, but Dave ignored him as if he were air.
“Who are you? Why are you meddling in my affairs? Do you not know who I am?” He was out of the city for many days, and he didn’t know about Dave’s face that was circulating in the city.
Dave continued to ignore him, and Roco started to get annoyed. However, he realized that a killing intent was directed at him, and he knew that if he spoke again, his head would roll on the ground. He was sweating heavily and didn’t know who was targeting him.
He didn’t know that Xegron was near him, and his claw was already on his neck, but Xegron’s concealment was top-tier, and he could merge with the shadow. Xegron hated those who disrespected his master, so he was ready to kill Roco as long as Dave commanded.
Roco stopped speaking, and he was fearful. He just wanted to snatch the sword because he saw that it was interesting and he felt that it was a treasure at just a glance.
Dave waved his hands and said, “Helping you is just an easy matter. I am just a man who hates bullying others. Since I was a kid, I like to help people, and that’s why I was called a saint, but I don’t want to be called that because helping is a must.”
Dave acted benevolent, and as if a holy light was covering his whole body. Grace pinched his waist and said, “Acting again.”
Grace looked at Dave with disdain. If he was a good person, then there is no bad person in the whole world at all. He was just acting again to get the attention of the people.
The onlookers were amazed and charmed by his words. “As expected, he was handsome and kind.” “I didn’t expect that there are still kind people in the world.” “I want to become his follower and save the world.”
[Ding! You gained Sin Points] [Ding! You gained Sin Points]
Dave smiled, and Jiang Chen was overwhelmed by the soothing aura of Dave. “I will repay this favor in the future, young master. May I know your holy name?” He bowed to him and asked his name.
Dave smiled and spoke, “You can call me Dave, Dave Alexander.” Some knew him, and some who didn’t know him were amazed and became more respectful. Just having the surname Alexander made them respectful, and they realized why the guards were afraid of him.
Roco was stunned, and he didn’t expect to hit a sturdy rock, and he became even more afraid. He knelt on the ground, and his prideful look vanished. “Please forgive me, young master. I have eyes but fail to see Mount Tai.” (This sentence never fails to make me laugh)
The people looked at Roco with disdain, and they felt good to see him become humble. Dave looked at him with a calm face and said, “Don’t worry, I am a kind person, and I am not violent. Since I was a kid.”
“Ouch, don’t pinch me,” Dave saw Grace pinched him again, and Grace was tired of hearing him brag again. “Okay, okay, I will be kind today since I am in a good mood.”
Roco sighed in relief, but he was stunned when he heard his next sentence. “But I hate those who snatch my treasure. Give me all your clothes and your storage ring. I didn’t expect that someone would steal my things.”
Dave sighed, and the onlookers who thought of him as an idol looked at him with an embarrassed face. They didn’t expect him to be crazier and more shameless than Roco. “What, you don’t want to give back my things? Do you want me to use force?”
Dave looked at Roco. Roco was afraid so he bowed and said, “Sorry for snatching your things, young master. I will give them back.” He knew that if he didn’t follow his words, he would seriously die. He removed all of his storage rings and gave them to Dave. He also took off his clothes as he followed Dave’s instructions. Right now, nothing was left to him except his underwear. It was shameful, but it was his style: afraid of the strong and bullying the weak. He didn’t have an intention to get revenge because he knew that it would only implicate his family.
