In Oakhaven, Eldoria. +65%%% In the evening, Gilmore Reed came out of a flower shop with a bouquet of fresh roses in his hands. Today was his girlfriend’s birthday. The flower shop was about 0.31 to 0.37 miles away from Oakhaven University, where he and his girlfriend studied. He headed towards the university. However, after walking only a few steps, he tripped over something and almost fell. At the same time, an old man cried out, “Ouch, it hurts!” Gilmore noticed that he had stepped on the man’s foot. The old man had white hair and a white beard. His clothes were messy and dirty. It seemed as though he hadn’t washed them for many days. There was also a stainless steel bowl in front of him. The old man rubbed his foot which was covered with a cloth shoe while groaning in pain. Feeling embarrassed, Gilmore apologized to him profusely and took out his wallet. There were only a few 20-dollar notes in it. He took one out and put it in the bowl that was in front of the old man. After that, Gilmore turned to leave. “Don’t go…” the old man said suddenly. Gilmore stopped as his heart **ed a beat. He was worried that the old man would extort money from him. He was poor and so was his family. “Sir, is… there anything else?” Gilmore’s voice trembled. “Young man, I’m the 198th generation disciple of Zenith in Ravenhurst Mountain. I’ve wandered the world for many years. Now that I’m old, I want to return to Ravenhurst Mountain.” The old man looked up at Gilmore. “Just give me another 40 dollars to cover my travel expenses.” Gilmore secretly breathed a sigh of relief. 1/3
Fortunately, the man had asked for only 40 dollars. If he had asked for 40 thousand dollars. Gilmore would probably have to call the police. Although Gilmore was very poor, he had indeed stepped on the old man’s foot. Thus, he was willing to give the old man another 40 dollars. In any case, the man might even need to buy some medicine. Gilmore quickly took another 200 dollars from his wallet and put it in the bowl in front of the old man. “Sir, here you are.” Gilmore wanted to quickly slip away in case the old man made any more trouble for him. Yet a bony hand suddenly grabbed Gilmore’s right wrist. It was the old man’s hand. Gilmore’s expression changed as he asked the old man, “What’s wrong?” “Young man, you’ve been so kind, but I have nothing to repay you with except an elixir from Ravenhurst Mountain in this box. The old man pressed a small wooden box into Gilmore’s hand. “As long as you take it, you’ll be immune to all diseases. The mana in the elixir will strengthen your body and make you unconquerable. “After the mana goes through all your mana points, you can see anything that others. can’t see. “All the secrets in this world will be revealed to you.” Gilmore’s mouth twitched. He thought, “This old man is definitely a charlatan! He said that he has an elixir from Ravenhurst Mountain and that if I take it, I’ll become unconquerable. Why didn’t he just say that he is the founder of Zenith? “He even said I’ll be able to see anything that others can’t see. Why didn’t he just claim to be an immortal? It would be strange if I believed him.” “Young man, you don’t believe me, right?” Seeing Gilmore’s disapproving expression, the old man said earnestly, “You may not know it, but something is about to happen to you.” Gilmore didn’t trust him. “May I ask what will happen then?” The old man glanced at Gilmore, saying confidently. “You’ll be cu**ded” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
2/3 Chipoint Gilmore did a double-take, and replied angrily. “How… how could you curse me? You’re 40 mean!” The old man had stated that Gilmore’s girlfriend would cheat on him. How could Gilmore not be angry? What a bad guy the old man was! However, the old man smiled. I’m not cursing you. Your girlfriend is going to break up with you, but don’t be sad. You’ll soon meet another woman. “It’s up to you whether she’ll bring your good luck or bad luck.” Gilmore was amused. “You must be joking, sir. My girlfriend and I are doing great together. Why would we break up?” As for meeting another woman, that was nonsense. The old man didn’t explain any further. He let go of Gilmore’s wrist and waved his hand. “Hurry up and go to your girlfriend. Otherwise, she’ll leave with a rich man.” “I’ll be back soon!” Gilmore said in a huff and rushed to Oakhaven University. He was going to bring Tiffany Hubbard here to prove that they got on well. He thought, “How dare you say I’ll be c**kolded? Just wait and see!” 64
