Chapter 15 - A Lie

"Who are you?" Khael asks breaking the silence between the two.

He was already holding a bow and arrow in his hand that was ready to fire if the child in front of them did something malicious.

Drake raised his head and looked at them innocently before replying in his childish voice, "I... I am Drake Avis."

Then realizing something, he turned his gaze at his hand holding a bloody arrow before throwing it away as if it never appeared in his hand in the first place. Then he looked again at the three showing another innocent look as if saying.

"That is not mine I just pick it up on the way."

The three men stared at Drake awkwardly, the corner of theimouthsth inexplainable twitched.

This... We saw you clearly, do you think we are blind?

Do you think the three of us are idiots?

Again, silence surrounded the forest.

After a moment of silence, Khael looked at him deeply, "Child what are you doing this deep inside the forest?"

Roy and the other man glance at Khael approvingly, good question they thought.

Drake looked at them before replying as a matter of fact, "Of course, I'm here to train is not that obvious."

What? you want to question me. HEHEHE, I have countless Oscar awards from my previous life, my lying can become reality to others he thought inwardly.

As if he had discovered something, he looked at them angrily, "Why are you questioning me, I just saved your life earlier.

If I did not hear the explosion earlier I would not be here and the three of you will probably be dead right now."

"Sigh, I should not let my empathy overcome me, look, Drake, I just saved their life earlier yet look at what they repay!" Drake said to himself with a hint of pity and blame. He made sure that his voice could be heard by three in the distance but not much.

...

Upon hearing those words coming out of Drake's mouth and thinking of his action earlier, Khael's face instantly turned red.

Right, it seems like I am overthinking things. If this child has malicious intent toward them, he just only needs to wait for the three of them to die, there is no need to save them at all.

Besides... The strength of this child is surprisingly almost comparable to theirs and this child also has a rich experience in fighting. In fact, he knew that Drake's combat skill was richer than his.

At the thought of this, he was shocked, a word immediately came to his mind.

"Genius."

Right, a 12 to 13 years old child who reaches the 3rd level of the body reinforcement realm, coupled with his rich combat skills this child was definitely a genius.

A rare genius that is only born every a hundred years, thinking of this, his expression changed and said sincerely.

"Sorry, I just find it weird seeing a child inside this forest that has already reached the 3rd level of Body Reinforcement at the early age."

"3rd Body Reinforcement? me?" Drake asks perplexity.

"Yes, your strength and speed are comparable to 3rd Body Reinforcement."

"Oh, Yes, yes I'm indeed at the 3rd stage of Body Reinforcement, in truth I just advanced yesterday." He replied hurriedly afraid that they might notice something.

Sigh. I'm going to deal with the system again hopefully this time my question got answered on point. Drake thought.

"System get out, why do they think that my strength is comparable to a 3rd Body Reinforcement even though I did not reach the 1st level."

A moment later, an emotionless voice sounded inside his head.

[ The host had the physique and top-tier body cultivation technique reasoning for your strength to increase drastically.

While the three of them had no physique and they only learned low-level body cultivation, hence creating a misunderstanding. ]

Drake frowned, the answer was not on point but much better than earlier, he could easily assume that his superior strength came from his physique and top-tier Body Cultivation.

The physique does not just increase his qi absorption, it also improves his strength and another effect.

As for the tier of cultivation technique, he could only think that the higher the tier is the more effective it is, and as for how effective, Drake does not know.

Shaking his head, he turned his attention to the sky. The sun is already set in the west and the moon is already peeking at the east.

"It is almost dark," he muttered in a low voice. suddenly he heard Khael calling him.

"Drake," Khael said.

Drake turned his attention to Khael, waiting for what Khael would say.

"The three of us plan to go to the village to see if our last member has escaped safely, do you want to come along?"

Should I come? Drake thought. However, the next second he shook his head.

He already has a plan in mind to hunt beasts in this forest and unlock the shop. He had a feeling that unlocking the shop in the system would bring him something good.

He does not know what kind of great things he could buy from the system shop, however, if his instinct told him that something good would happen after unlocking it he would believe it.

Thinking of this, Drake's eyes glow in a sly manner, he looked at Khael before saying.

"No, my master told me that I need to experience life within this jungle. Just by exposing myself to constant danger would my talent grow.

"However if you three did not mind can I get half of the deer?"

"Do you already have a master's?" Khael asked but did not even look surprised. He already guessed that Drake had a master guiding him.

Just the precise movement of Drake shown earlier and his strength, he would instead become shocked if he found out that Drake doesn't have a master teaching him.

"Yes, then about the deer?" Drake asks.

"Of course, you can get half of it."

After severing the deer in half, the two groups parted.

Looking at the back of Drake who was walking away, Roy said.

"Should we report this to your father?"

"No, we are not that ungrateful."

"Yes, I also think so."

With that, the three of them are ready to go back but immediately stop.

"Do you know which direction the village is?" Khael asks and looked at the face of the two beside him.

Seeing their shaking head. Khael's face turned dark, he immediately turned around and ran in the direction where Drake departed.
