Louis came out if the building as he sighed. "I am no longer broke. This money should be able to get me some essential materials needed for my laboratory", Louis thought.
"The cost of living in the inner city is very high as all my current net worth cannot buy a building not to talk of machines, super computers and the materials needed for research".
Louis who was lost in thought ran into a young man who was dressed in obviously very expensive clothes.
The man Louis ran into was Brad Cain, from the Cain Clan. The Cain Clan was a top business family as their wealth could rival the Rosett Clan. The only way they were inferior was in strength, but even with that the Rosett Clan still respect them as the Cain Clan are backed by Duke Lane and an all out war will severely damage the two families.
Brad was the son of Lart Cain and Rose Lane from the Lane family and he had been pampered since he was small, this grew up with him and he had become a public scum detested by the city dwellers but no one dare to talk as doing so equals mysterious death.
Even though Louis had read almost all the books in the library, he was not familiar with Brad. Louis came to his senses as he noticed that he hit a body. "Sorry Sir", Louis said politely.
Most of the audience were shaking their heads pitifully as they wondered what punishment will fall on Louis. Louis who was ignorant of his situation continued his journey as he continued to walk towards the inn he was residing in.
"Stop there!", Brad shouted.
Louis turned back and looked at Brad who was fuming on such a little mistake.
"Do you know how much I bought this clothes? Just one of my shoes can buy you and your entire family", Brad continued to insult Louis in anger.
Louis as a man with sharp brain noticed that the background of this boy is not simple because of his luxurious dressing and vehicle. "I am sorry", Louis said again trying to pacify this fuming brat. (Although they were currently of the same age, Louis has a mature mind as a result of his soul)
The more Brad looked at Louis, the more angry he became. He didn't plan to let Louis go scot free but the moments he saw the LEVEL 1 SCIENTIST on Louis's Guild Card, his anger multiplied towards him.
He has been attempting the Scientist Qualification Examination for the fifth time and he had not yet succeeded as Mr. Fallon has always been the one attending to him. All the other Examiners can be bribed or threatened but Mr. Fallon was an exception. What angered him the most was that Mr. Fallon ordered as the Chief Examiner that anytime Brad comes, he must be directed to him. The reason he was there was for another Examination.
Now seeing the occupation on Louis's Guild Card with the signature of Mr. Fallon angered him.
"You beat him thoroughly but make sure he doesn't die", Brad ordered pointing to one of the bodyguards sent by his mother. He would have killed him but even though he was angry, he did not let that cloud as his judgement as it was no news that nobody must kill any human race around the Guild Building.
Brad turned back towards the Guild Building after giving his verdict. Louis wanted to run away, but reasoning took over as he remembered that he only reason he was not killed was because he was in front of the Guild Building.
The broad chested bodyguard walked to Louis and kicked him by his legs. He took out the metal rod with wood at the handle and made sure he beat Louis to the point of being unrecognizable. He could have done more but seeing the Guild Card, he decided to let him go.
Louis who was seriously beaten groaned in pain as he crawled to his residence. As he crawled towards the inn, a lot of people pointed their fingers at him as the incident has been publicized by the eye witnesses.
"I will get well. I will repay this 'good' deed of yours in a hundred fold", Louis soliloquied as he languished in serious pains. He could feel the fracture in several bones in his body but his determination sustained him.
No sooner than five minutes that he entered his room, the inn owner came to his door.
"Sir, please you have leave".
Louis who had already heard the evil deeds of Brad knew that the woman was just trying to escape trouble. "Okay", he answered.
Louis picked up the bag he had already packed and got ready to leave but he was so stressed up that he could not move an inch.
Louis mocked himself as he laughed loudly. "Is this the way I am going to die? I don't believe it, my luck has always been good", Louis thought.
SHOOO. An arrow hit the one of the wooden legs of the bed, accompanied with a letter and a small glass jar containing blood red pills tied with a rope to the arrow.
The letter goes thus
Sorry boy. I apologise for all you have encountered, but your endurance and tenacity surprised me and that was what prompted me to send this letter to you.
You have to get away from the inner city before tomorrow morning and be very careful in the outer city because they will search of you to please that spoilt brat. Accompanied with this letter is a jar containing ten grade one healing pill. One is enough to return you to your optimal state.
As for the price, because of a recommendation from my daughter, Elsa I have accepted you as my only disciple and you have no choice to object.
You can come to me in my house if you need anything or call me.
Make sure you survive...
Louis laughed gratefully as he popped a pull into his mouth. The wound healed up rapidly and after about thirty minutes, he was very well again. Louis checked the ring that he was unable to open as he did not have enough spiritual power to open and the bracelet that looked so plain and packed his clothes.
Louis knew he must not walk normally till he escapes so he brought his level 100 acting skills into full play. Louis crawled out with a slightly faster speed while drawing his clothes.
He soon got out of the inn but all the vehicles seem to avoid him, no one wants to offend the Cain Clan.
A car parked by his side, the driver came out and carried him effortlessly into the car.
"From your Master", he said as he drove the car with a flat face to the. outer city.
Louis nodded understandingly and the journey continued. When they got to the entrance of the outer city after few minutes the driver pressed play on a sound recorder connected to the car's speaker and Old Man Fallon's voice was heard, "I must say, I admire your acting skills. Just take care of yourself and SURVIVE".
