A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 284: Going on a recovery mission

Once the man said that, everyone's eyes shone.

"So, what you are trying to tell me is that they would only release your children when I appear before them?" Alex asked.

"Yes, senior" The man said with hope in his tone.

Alex took a deep breath.

"These people that took your children, did you see their faces?" Alex asked.

"No senior, they were masked. Besides, we were warned not to look into their eyes, or we would have our souls destroyed" The middle-aged man said.

Immediately the man said that, Alex's brows furrowed.

'They would have their souls destroyed. Hmm, they could be soul cultivators. But soul cultivators? I thought that they were rare. Especially in this part of the realmverse where soul cultivators should be scarce, as there is no material for it. And to comprehend it is extremely hard, just like how it took me years to comprehend it. I even had to use a cheat to do that" Alex thought at the speed of lightning.

Now looking at the man whose eyes were red due to lot of tears that had streamed out of it, Alex asked "Did the abductors of your children give you the place where I should meet them?"

"Yes! Yes!" The woman hurriedly said in a loud tone.

"Where? Tell me the place" Alex said.

"At a cave in a mountain found in the Song of Sinners valley in the Windrift city which is in Jameson state" The man said.

"What?" Everyone who were around the man, woman and Alex asked in shock. While Alex looked at the man with a gaze that invoked the feeling that he was trying to understand some things.

"They took your children to another state? The Jameson state? That state is about fifteen state away from here. It would take our master more than a week to arrive in there" Someone suddenly said.

"Yes, they know about that. But they also know who he is. They know that he is related to someone that could be said to be the richest man in the state. Therefore, because of this reason, they believe that he would have access to single-user, high-grade transportation vehicles that can move at great speeds. So, they gave him seventy-two hours which is three days to arrive in a cave in that valley. Or we would never see our children again, and that we would be eliminated, no matter where we would run to and hide in" The man said sobbingly and with intense grief radiating off his tone.

"Master, you definitely can't go there. We don't know what terrible things that they have planned for you." Someone quickly said in a worried tone to Alex, as he felt that Alex might be moved by this people before him and go to that faraway state to help them recover their children.

Once the person said this, Alex smiled.

"Nothing you would ever say is going to dissuade me, Blacklotus. I would definitely go there to help these folks retrieve their children. I know that you are scared and worried that I would be gravely injured, or that my life would be put in great danger there. Anyways, such might happen, but I would always definitely come out on top. Besides, I am the daring and adventurous type. So, I would definitely go there to hone my battle experience, and help these people bring back their children." He said with a resolute gaze. 

But also, he wanted to see the person or people who were behind this nefarious action, and their reason why it was him that they targeted. 

Then he looked at the middle-aged man and woman.

"Do you have a place to stay?" He asked.

"No, our home has been razed to the ground. We don't have anywhere to stay" The woman spoke in a sad and aggrieved tone .

"Okay." Alex said.

Then he looked at a member of his organization and said "You, please prepare a place for this man and woman to stay till I would bring back their kids"

"Alright Master" The person said humbly.

Alex nodded.

Then the man and woman knelt before Alex and began to thank him with utmost sincerity in their tones.

What would their life become if Alex refused to help them? Now, he was even generous enough to give them a place to stay till he would bring back their children.

With tears continually flowing down their eyes, they thanked and thanked him.

"Come on, it's okay" Alex said. Then he said to that person " Take them to the room where they would stay"

The person nodded and went to meet the middle-aged man and woman, while Alex turned around and went to his room.

Now sitting on his bed, he began to think deeply of many things.

"This situation looks very profound than it seems. I have a feeling that all the bad things happening in the city seem to be manifesting because of me. Who are the deadly enemies that I would have made in my short time in this city?" Alex asked inwardly.

Then he began to think of the few people that he had offended. After thinking for sometime, his train of thought ended at the Ancient Heavenly cauldron academy. Why his thought train stopped here was because he knew that others that he had battled with and humiliated can't really make him their enemies. Although they would seriously detest him for what he did to them, they however wouldn't make him their complete enemies. But, he believed that students from the Ancient Heavenly Cauldron academy would have become his total adversaries, as he had killed their genius in cold blood. If he knew what he knew now and time was to reverse to the point when he was fighting Drille, the Bone-sawing Evilchild, he was still going to slaughter him. Nobody talks trash or thinks ill about anyone that he has in his heart, or they should be prepared to be killed, if they don't have the power to run from him and totally evade his towering murdering or slaughtering intent.

However, this was just an assumption of his, as he couldn't really link things that were happening in the community of mortals to the abduction of the children of the middle-aged people now residing in his organization's building, and finally to the killing of Drille. But what Alex didn't know was that Drille had a brother, a sister and an uncle. If he knew about them, he would surely believe that his assumptions were absolutely true.

Once he was done thinking, he began to prepare for the journey that he was going to embark on to bring back the children of the middle-aged people. He knew that it was a really dangerous thing that he was about to set out for, but if he stayed back because of great fear of the unknown, then he knew that he was not fit to be called an unequaled cultivator, one that wanted to seize territories, conquer lands, abolish governments, be far above Beyonders, Deities and Deviants to become the strongest in the realmverse that would unite all realms.

However, he knew the degree of deadliness of what he was about to embark upon, and that he might be destroyed if he was slightly careless. But because of the numerous inborn and acquired god-like abilities that he had, and because of the soul that he had cultivated which gave him much more confidence for his upcoming battles as they were many, unusually powerful and physically mighty in form, he knew that he was up to the task. And who knows, he could meet with good fortune there. So he thought.

Well, time was not on his side. He had to leave now to go to the Jameson state and retrieve the children of the middle-aged people, and fully slay the people who he believes would do anything such as make schemes to hurt, harm or kill innocent people just so that they could eliminate or eradicate him.

With a thought, the miniaturized Azure Beastsman palace shot out of his mom's spatial ring and began to float in the air by it own power.

Once it appeared and began to hover, Alex quickly sent a sliver of his perception into it.

"Palace-spirit, I want to make use of the treasure-palace as a means of transportation. I have to get to a state that is extremely far away from the state that this city is in. Also, time isn't on my side. I have to get there very fast and do some things, or the children of some folks would be annihilated or brainwashed to become slaves." He said.

"I know. I listened to your conversations between you and them. It was right of you to decide to help them. Besides, you would be sharpening your battle prowess and meet new people with a different culture and tradition" The palace-spirit said.

Alex nodded.

Then abruptly, space warped around Alex and he vanished from where he was and reappeared in the palace hall.

Then the palace began to move through a layer of space which kept it invisible to all eyes. And at a tremendous speed like it was a rocket, it blazed through space to the Jameson state. It could as it had a clear and detailed map projection of the hundreds of states and cities that they had in this Planeverse which was a mortal world.

"Do you think that bastard would help those folks?" A male asked a female who was by his side in a curious tone.

"Definitely" She replied.

"It's as if you know him so well" The male said with surprise in his tone.

"Hahaha." The female only laughed raucously and didn't say anything else.

Without surprise, these people were Lenna and Maxwell. They had revised their plans thoroughly and then decided to change it. Then they came up with a scheme which was to send Alex far away, to a place where his uncle wouldn't be able to rush over to quickly protect him if his life was critically endangered.
