A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 41: Michelle

"I am trying to kill beasts out here for a reward" he replied. "Hmm. It's best you be careful. There are some pretty dangerous beasts in here" she said.

Alex nodded. Seeing how friendly she was, he asked. "Uhm. Senior, could I know your name?". The female expert in front of him was surprised. "Why do you want to know my name?" she asked back.

"Well, I just.. um.. wanted to know your name." he replied. With a raised brow, she asked again "Why?".

Need there be a reason for this? He couldn't understand.

"On a second thought, no need ma'am" He replied with a smile.

The lady smiled. "My name's Michelle. And you are?" she asked.

Alex's glittered with happiness. "Alex. My name's Alex. It's a pleasure meeting you." he replied.

"Yea. It is" she replied with a smile.

"I have to go now." she said.

"Wait, what world do you live in?" he asked hurriedly.

"You want to come visit me or what?" she asked with a surprised tone.

"Not really. My cultivation level can be considered very weak. But I just want to know, so that when I reach a powerful stage, I.. I could come visit... you" he replied with slight difficulty.

"Oh. I live in the Pure Heart Continent, Pure Heart Greatverse." she said.

"Okay. I got that. Thanks for telling me. What about the region, state and city you live in?" he asked.

"You are welcome" she said with a smile and vanished.

"Huh? She's gone. Hmm, Michelle from Pure Heart continent, Pure Heart Greatverse. That's a supreme world where insanely powerful experts abound. Scoffs! Can't be bothered about that. Even a sage would be considered insignificant there."

Then he looked around. "I don't think I would be able to finish my mission. There would be terrifying rank-3 beast there and I don't think I can personally handle any of them."

Then he went back into the cave and shouted to wake the guys lying on the ground.

Heck!

They quickly rushed up to their feet. Alex could almost burst into laughter by their actions. "Seniors, I think I need to go. It has been a great moment with you all. Thanks for everything."

They nodded their head. "We may meet again. Take good care of yourself" their boss, Ken said. Alex nodded and walked out of the cave.

I have improved my battle proficiency. Coming here wasn't in vain. But that bird....

- Skytrident city -

When he left the valley, he arrived in an ultivehicle in this city.

He looked around and was absolutely confused of what to do, where to go.

What should be my next step?

He didn't need to join an academy. Whatever they could provide their students with, he already had them and in excess at that. Was it pills, cultivation manuals, treasures, weapons? He had all of them.

So what else could he possibly want?

This is strange. I am stranded. I don't know where to go from here. Do I join an academy and leave later? No, my uncle forbade that. Now what do I do? Should I try to form my own organization? Scoffs! you are in the middle-phase. No one would even think of joining. I guess what I can only do is help people I see around, financially or in any other way. And deal with evil cultivators. Protect oppressed people and punish bad people. Yea. That's the path I should take.

After thinking up what he should do next. He smiled elatedly and decided he would start from here, from this city. Then that his legend would spread far as he gets stronger, invoking fear and solace in the bad and good at the mention of his name.

But he didn't know his plan was not in accordance with what destiny had for him.

Alex at the moment felt that what he needed to do now was to eat. His stomach was grumbling within.

He left where he had been standing for minutes and asked around for the description to a inn. He was directed to one.

- Miriam Inn -

This was the name of the inn he was directed to. It fitted what he asked them. He didn't want to go to an expensive inn. But the inn was okay. Their meals were not too expensive and they were delicious. One would gain value for one's money.

He entered and went to seat at a table. Not very long after he sat down, a young lady came over.

"What would you like to eat?" she asked.

"I don't know. My first time here. Let me see what's on your menu." he replied.

"Alright"

Then she gave him the menu list. After going through them, he selected one and the lady went back to bring his order.

While he waited. Several barbaric men barged in. They looked big and strong and wielded large clubs. When Alex looked at them, he could sense they were in the peak-stage entry realm.

These men that abruptly entered went to the tables where people sat at and began to smash them using the clubs they wielded.

Everyone having a meal in here had their eyes widen in fear. They quickly got up and rushed out of the inn.

Alex remained sitting and so was another guy dressed in white. He wore a large white hat that covered his face.

"Where's your boss?!! Tell her to come out or we would smash everything in here to pieces!" the largest of the men shouted. This was the boss of the Ironblood.

Then a beautiful lady ran out. She looked at her tables that had been smashed into pieces and shouted with all her voice. "What's it you want from me?"

The boss smiled. "You have always known what I want. I would say it to you again to make it loud and clear. I want your body. I want to feel those twin soft melons on your chest and how warm your cleft is" he said lustfully.

Haha!

His men burst into unbridled laughter.

The lady became aggrieved. In an annoyed tone, she asked loudly "Is that why you destroyed my tables?"

The boss laughed.

"Yes. I always get what I want or people around you and you yourself would live in fear and terror." He replied.

"Now. I want you to come with me so we could go have fun or we would smash your entire inn apart. But before we actually do that, I and my men would do a lot to you and your female workers. So it's best you listen to me. Will you follow me now or not?!" he asked loudly.

The lady became sad and terrified. What was she going to do? Would she follow them? If she followed them to their base, he would sleep with her and his other men might do the same. And she couldn't refuse or a bad fate would fall upon her workers. Besides, she couldn't allow anything to happen to her father's inn. This was what she inherited from him and had turned to her source of livelihood.

"Hey! Still thinking? Give me an answer in the next three seconds or something terrible would happen to all of you here."

Just as this lady was about to talk, a male voice sounded out. "Get out!"

Everyone became shocked.

"Who just talked?"

Then they looked in the direction that voice came from and saw a male in white wearing a large hat and seating relaxedly.

"Haha! Who is this white-clothed adorable rat? Trying to play hero to get the lady right? Kid, if you know what is good for you, don't dabble into my affairs or you wouldn't have a good ending." he said in an annoyed tone.

The male wearing a hat shook his head.

"I said you should leave" he said again.

The boss became enraged. He looked at his men. "Go drag that bastard out" he shouted.

Then the men rushed forward towards this male.
