Chapter 491 - Old Memories

Walking over to Liao Wei's mother, who lay on a bed in the corner of a small room, Adam remembered how heartbreaking and tough it was for him to see the condition his aunt was in when he would visit her.

Liao Wei's home was small, rundown and poorly maintained, but it wasn't his fault. The housing quality and infrastructure were old and poor, while he didn't have the money to fix anything or live somewhere else, as it was the cheapest place he could find to live.

His mother was an old lady, but it was clear that her health and declined much more than her health would cause, meaning there were underlying conditions that made it so that she could barely move.

All she did was lay there, which was a miserable way to live and made her feel as though she was merely a burden on her son, who was already struggling. He had little to look forward to in life, but she made it so that he lost the luxury of relaxing, while Liao Wei couldn't give up on his mother and kept on trying his best to buy her the medication she needed.

The main problem that his mother had was with her breathing and respiratory system, which had over time affected her entire body and caused her to experience extreme and constant fatigue and weakness.

Adam knew he couldn't heal everyone and that it was unrealistic for him to think that he could go around saving everyone that was ill or victimised, but if anyone came his way, he was more than willing to help.

Although healing wasn't his forte, he had become very proficient in some healing and energy transferring skills, which would be more than enough to heal and strengthen Liao Wei's mother's body.

Since she also didn't seem to be in dire condition and the medication she took seemed to have maintained and dampened the effects of her illness, saving her wouldn't take too long.

Gauging that, Adam smiled to himself and instructed Liao Wei to make his mother some tea.

He was confused by Adam's sudden instruction, and his mother wouldn't drink tea since she would only eat and drink in small amounts, and would prefer not to do so, as using the toilet was a great pain for her and would require her son's help. While he also didn't have any high-quality tea or anything special to give to Adam if he wanted to drink it.

However, he didn't dare to refuse Adam's instruction and quickly scurried off to the kitchen to start doing so, leaving Adam with his ill mother.

It wasn't like he could stop Adam from doing anything bad even if he was there, while he also for some unexplainable reason trusted Adam, who had shown nothing but greatness and kindness so far.

Carrying a chair over to the side of the old lady's bed, Adam placed his hands on the arm that was closest to him and immediately began healing her body. He did so by streaming energy into her body, along with using it to boost her vitality and it required him to be in an Ethereal State to pull off.

It worked in the same way as the Ethereal Recovery Skill, but would heal, strengthen and revitalise others. The speed of recovery wasn't as fast as when he used it for himself, but it was still more than enough for the old lady.

Within a matter of minutes, before Liao Wei even finished making the tea that Adam had instructed him to make, Adam had already finished healing the man's mother.

Carrying the tea over on a metal tray, seeing his mother suddenly sit up and seeing how much younger and healthier she looked, Liao Wei couldn't help but be surprised. He was so surprised that he even dropped the tray he was carrying, and Adam didn't want to startle the old lady, so didn't catch the tray before it fell, which would have been quite easy for him to do.

"Mother. Have you really recovered?" asked Liao Wei as he rushed towards her and embraced her in his arms.

She was unsure what exactly had happened and the last thing she remembered was going to sleep after Liao Wei left and said that he was going to go to work. Then after waking up, she felt as though she had never been ill and better than ever before.

She even felt as though she wasn't old and sprung out of the bed and began stretching her limbs that had felt useless for the past few years, as tears of joy streamed down her face.

"It's a miracle!" both Liao Wei and his mother exclaimed as they began to jump around, elated by her sudden recovery.

Liao Wei just wanted his mother to be healthy and happy, not seeking wealth or much, and seeing what he wanted become a reality, he was overjoyed.

"M-Mother, it was him that healed you. Our benefactor and also the one that gave me some money today," revealed Liao Wei after they calmed down.

They wanted to celebrate, and she wanted to do something in return for Adam, anything he wanted, but he declined her offers and reassured her that he didn't want anything in return from her.

"Liao Wei will do me a favour after this and there is nothing to worry about. You have a good son," he stated simply.

Adam wished that someone could have come and helped him and his aunt back before he awakened the Dungeon System and he was happy that he had been able to help him, but he still had unfinished business.

He had already sensed the cultivators approaching his location a while ago and hadn't bothered to make a move yet. It had only taken a few minutes for the Black Dragon Gang to gather a few dozen quite capable cultivators and they all rushed to aid their fallen brethren.

Hearing the sound of screeching tires, it was clear that they had arrived and Liao Wei instantly became shaken and remembered that the Black Dragon Gang were still after them.
