Chapter 44 The Little Girl

Looking at the price, Ghu Dwo had no qualms whatsoever.

"Grandmaster Tian, say no more. I'll have my account transfer the money now."

With that, he took out his phone and called his accountant.

Butler Sheng also stepped forward to provide the information for the transfer too.

Good.

Once everything was finalized, Ghu Dwo quickly thought of something else that was also critical too.

"Erm... Grandmaster Tian... Is there a better way we can reach you?"

Click.

Everyone's thinking bulbs turned on.

Yeah. Is there a better way to reach him?

Sota was the first to react.

"Grandmaster... I, I, I still have you on QQ chat... So can we contact you through there?"

Dorian thought about it more before nodding: "Hmmm... You can."

"Great! Thank you, Grandmaster." Sota said excitedly before looking at his family proudly with his nose sticking heavenwards.

'Hmph!

I have the Grandmaster's QQ account.

Do you?'

(-_-)

Brat!

Ghu Dwo looked at his son and almost shoved the idiot with his shoe.

Did this fool forget that he only kept the Grandmaster QQ earlier on to keep his 'enemy' closer?

Windock and everyone else smiled when they saw the interaction between the duo.

Yes. Things were now back to normal... to an extent.

Because Sota's next move caused them to go into shock.

~Plop.

"Grandmaster... I... I want to be your disciple."

....

Silence.

Everyone blinked and opened their mouths in shock.

"Sota... what are you doing?" Elvida and Ghu Dwo were the first to react.

Their son had just come out from the hands of that thing. And now, he was running back into the fire again?

Their hearts panicked as they watched him kneel before Dorian.

"Son, quit playing and stand up now!"

Sota looked at them and shook his head: "No! I'm not playing. I have my reasons! I want to become the Grandmaster's disciple." Sota said before clenching his fists hard.

Dorian raised his brow at the unexpected turn of events.

'Host. Host... This is a good thing. The more people you gather, the more allies we have to fight in our cause.'

Dorian revealed a slight smile on his face: 'Yes... It would...'

'Ah?... Host... So you agree too? This is the first time the host is being nice to...'

'Shut it. I'm thinking.'

'...(:T^T:)...'

Why was its host always so fierce?

What wrong did it do in this cosmic world to get saddled with its host?

But... But... This should be considered progress, right?

Yes... it was better than the times when the host didn't even let him say 3 words.

So this time... the host actually allowed him to talk this long.

But she knew that she couldn't do much to stop their decision.

Her son would be joining the Academy.

~Vrrmmmmmm!

Dorian's vehicle finally left the estate and headed straight for a well-renowned medical Center.

That's right.

It was time to purchase or find any spiritual herbs around.

He planned to do a few more things before the Auction tomorrow.

With that, Dorian and his men were once again on the move.

But not too far away from them, within the central park... a little child and her nanny were playing around the park merrily.

The little girl ran around the ever-green fields, enjoying the morning air to her heart's content.

There were other families not too far away from her.

But all in all, the Park wasn't crowded at all.

It was still 11 A.M, and the busiest time had yet to come.

The little girl blew bubbles in the air while running around in circles.

And her nanny calmly sat on a wooden bench, reading her favourite novel.

The nanny was so engrossed that she didn't even notice the little girl run into the woods behind them.

And by the time she looked up, the girl had vanished.

No! No! No! No!

A wave of panic filled the nanny's heart as she flung her book away and abruptly stood up, darting her eyes around maniacally.

"Didi... Didi... Where are you?... Didi? DIDI!!!"

.

~Swish. Swish. Swish.~

The young girl pushed all the bushes away while chasing something she wasn't too sure of.

She had never seen it before, and it looked so cute to her.

A child's curiosity was a truly unstoppable force, as she wanted to get close to the thing at all cost.

And by the time she realized it, she now found herself out of the bushes, looking at a sizable dark pond of water.

Eh? Where did the thing go?

The girl looked left and right but didn't see anything.

But then, she heard it again.

This time, it came from the water.

Hmhm.

The water looked so pleasing and mesmerizing to her that she couldn't resist walking into it step by step.

And soon, she was fully submerged in the dark waters.

But suddenly, the waters shook violently, as if there was a battle underneath.

~Brrrrrruhhhhh!~

Something was happening underneath as countless bubbles formed at the water surface.

The nearby squirrels looked at the scene with a strange light in their eyes, taking countless steps back.

Like boiling water, the bubbles continuously formed around the particular spot the girl submerged into.

And after a few more seconds, the bubbles faded.

Then, the girl who had stayed underwater for what seemed like an eternity, finally emerged from the waters again.

~Tup. Tup. Tup.~

Water dripped from her clothes as she calmly walked towards the shores.

And this very moment, several voices echoed out from the bushes.

"She's here! She's here! We found her!"

"Oh... Didi! Why are you wet? Why aren't you talking? Are you cold? Is that it?" The nanny quickly hugged the girl and turned to the park rangers beside her: "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

The nanny and the park rangers continued talking, but the little girl in her Nanny's embrace suddenly smiled mysteriously.

Didi was okay.
