Seeing Tian Cheng's confidence, the old man could not help but sigh. "Child, this world is not as simple as you think it is. Without martial arts or magic, no matter how much knowledge you have, it would just be empty talk. It could even lead to disaster. When the time comes, even the poor would not be able to do it." The old man didn't dare to say the word 'slave.' To him, a slave was more terrifying than death.
He said to the old man, "Grandfather, although I don't have any martial arts or magic cultivation methods in my memories, there are many things that can help me with my cultivation. I believe that as long as I follow those methods, I will definitely be able to achieve something within three years. At that time, as long as I can enter the academy, I will be able to cultivate a profound martial arts technique." "When the old man heard these words, he regained some of his divine light and hope was ignited once more." Good! Good! Grandson, grandpa knows that the current you is no longer the you of the past. No matter what you do, grandpa will support you.
The old man paused for a moment, then continued, "Grandfather was reduced to this state because his strength was too weak, and your parents were also killed because of this."
"Killed by someone else." Hearing these words, Tian Cheng was shocked. Ever since he was young, his grandfather had told him that his parents died of illness, but now he said that they were killed by someone. How could he not be shocked? Although he had never seen his parents, every night when he dreamed, he would lie in his parents' warm embrace and tell them about his thoughts. He was afraid that he would wake up from his dream and lose them, because it was only there that he would feel the love of a father and a mother that he had never had before. But dreams always woke up, and when he returned to reality, he could not help but cry like the rain.
Tian Cheng grabbed the old man's hand and urgently asked, "Grandfather, quickly tell me, what exactly happened? Who killed my parents?!"
The old man touched Tian Cheng's hand, calming him down. "Originally, grandpa planned to never tell you about this matter in this lifetime, because we will never be able to defeat that enemy. Instead, it's very easy for us to be killed by him. But you are different now, so Grandpa can tell you without worry. "
The old man shifted his gaze away from Tian Cheng and looked into the distance, recalling, "At that time, your father, Stan, followed me from the age of eleven, traveling the world. Due to his relatively good aptitude and high comprehension ability, he received the guidance of a senior from the mercenary group and quickly surpassed me. And that was when he met your mother, Lina. She was a beautiful, kind woman, and soon they were in love. Your father ended his life as a mercenary, but it was also the beginning of our family's nightmare.
With his status as a master, he quickly found a job as a guard commander in the house of a Count. The happy days went by day by day, but one day, when your mother found out that she was pregnant with you, before your father could return home, she ran over to the Count's house to tell him the news. "Who knew that not only did he fail to find your father, but he even ran into the Count. When he saw this beautiful woman, he immediately became so perverted that he went berserk without a care for anything else." At this point, the old man clenched his fists, the veins on his head bulged, and he bared his teeth as he looked into the distance. Tian Cheng, who was at the side, was also furious. He wished that he could pass through time and space and tear that Count into pieces to save his mother.
The old man continued, "At this time, your father rushed back from the outside. Seeing that the Count was about to commit violence, he rushed forward without thinking, injured the Count, and saved his wife. And from then on, they began to flee for their lives. However, the Count still held a grudge and hadn't given up on chasing after them. In the end, after you were born, those people found out where they were. In order to not affect us two, they lured the enemy away and never came back. "I was also afraid that they would come back to find us. Thus, I brought you to the edge of this little mountain village."
"After hearing the old man's memories, Tian Cheng's face was covered in tears, and his eyes were as red as a wild beast's. "Ahhh!" At that moment, he only wanted to personally kill that Count. If it wasn't for him, his entire family would have been able to live a happy life, and he wouldn't have to be sad because of his lack of parental love. It was all because of him.
After a long while, after Tian Cheng finished venting his anger, he returned to his seat. His anger did not cover his eyes. He was very clear on his own strength. A moment of impulse would only make his death worse. He calmly asked the old man, "Grandfather, tell me who he is. We must take revenge."
The old man looked at Tian Cheng with appreciation and nodded. His grandson's mentality was much higher than his own. Even under such circumstances, he was still able to keep his cool. What else could he not say to Tian Cheng?
"Hovas, Beetee, according to your father, he is a most insidious, cunning, and ruthless man, and a great power." The old man said word by word.
"Hovas... Bitter..." Tiancheng chanted his name repeatedly but he had already cursed him a million times.
In a gorgeous castle, a middle-aged man dressed in aristocratic attire was standing there. He saw her with a full face of beard, a fat body, and big mouthfuls of food. When he was eating, a sudden sneeze came and most of the food flew out from his mouth through his nose. When he recovered, he glanced to the side and saw that the maid's smile had already disappeared. Without saying anything further, he pulled out his sword and slashed at the maid, it was hard to believe that the speed of the sword was not as fast as the rank 1 general, the maid had already been decapitated before she even came to her senses. The poor young and beautiful girl had lost her life just because of this naughty smile. The other maids all knelt on the ground, praying for their master.
Putting away the sword, the middle-aged man did not continue to kill anymore. Ignoring the corpse on the ground, he started to eat again.
Apparently, this middle-aged man was the one who had been cursing all this time, Hovas. If Tiancheng knew that this curse was effective, he would probably curse Hovas while he was eating. It would be best if he was careless and choked him to death.
Tian Cheng had resolved the conflict in his heart. Although he did not tell the old man the entire truth, at least there wouldn't be any estrangement between the two of them in the future. Tian Cheng felt at ease. Knowing the cause of his parents' death, he became even more determined to fight. Squatting in the horse stance, not caring about his trembling feet, Tian Cheng shouted towards the distance, "Father, mother, I will definitely get my revenge."
