CHAPTER 19
Raymond entered the independent house he had paid rent for. He smiled and sat down at the corner. He started experimenting with the energy and days passed by. He created many machines and programs with intent-based runes and he had become stronger and smarter. He had let many items be created and replaced the items of the house. He wanted to build a whole house. He had created energy items and let it simulate the surface and the colour. He decided to buy a land unique to him and create a whole house.
Raymond went outside to find that the there were some people who were waiting for him. Raymond found that he needed money to buy the land. Money alone could not buy the land and he decided to go far away from the land. He found that the city had a lot of land from the other side. Raymond had to make more money. He let the AI he created to connect to the internet to make more money and try to get some land. If the AI was able to get the necessary land, then it would indeed be a good thing and if not the money alone was more than enough and he could get it from some other manner.
Raymond found that a person had come to him and he gave him a care. Raymond read it to find that it was the invitation for a party and found that the date was today night. He looked at the people and understood that they had stood here for a long period of time. Raymond used his energy to flush their bodies and they were able to get epiphany in martial arts due to the effect of the type of energy and their bodies became strong. The people were happy and they asked him to enter the car respectfully.
Raymond denied saying he would come on his own and they could return. Raymond found that they were stronger but they had not adjusted to their new power. There were limit to what a cell could absorb and the body was an organisation and the system of cells named the human body had to work as one. If one part of the cells were energized and other were not, there could be a possibility of internal rupture due to internal dynamics.
Raymond found that he they had become stronger. He decided to got to get a bigger land. He went to the real estate and found that the people had given him more respect. He found that his name was spread to the city and he was well known. He had underestimated the power of the name warrior in this land. Raymond looked through the undeveloped plots and bought the land. He went to the land after getting the land and used the basic coding and built a bigger house. He got inside the house and found it better. He went to the houseowner and gave back the key to the house.
Raymond entered the hall after he showed off his invitation card. He entered the room and was in a well-mannered dress. Raymond looked at hall and went to the Henry, the brother of Bob. He smiled and gave a very good sword made using energy that was extremely sharp. Henry was happy to see a very sharp sword.
Henry smiled and spoke that he was very happy to see the sword but the lady at his side laughed. Raymond said to let the sword be checked by trying to cut iron and the lady at the side laughed at the statement. She said that cutting iron was not something any swordsman could do and just a sword could not help in doing the act. Raymond asked them to let them try and Henry did so as he knew that what he faced was no less than powerful than the martial god. Henry just swiped slowly at the iron legs of the table and it was cut off as it was a clay.
All of them were interested in a new sword. It was only useful in the old times as swords were not useful in the modern warfare and the martial arts competition was not something that used heavy weapon. Raymond looked at them and returned to the side to have some better food. He was stopped by Henry as he wanted to introduce him to other warriors. Henry announced that the man named Raymond who gave him the sword was as strong as the martial god and had broken the punch strength record. The warriors were interested and the warrior named Paul came forward to test the strength. This was a necessity as not anyone could claim to be a warrior.
Raymond laughed and used his martial energy to form an armour around him and had a spear. Seeing that Paul had put a boxing pose, he removed the armaments and decided to fight fist to fist. Paul kept attacking Raymond but Raymond kept blocking it with his index finger. He wanted to use his little finger but his habit was to use the index finger for most things.
Raymond used a small ray of energy to push him to the air and let his float in the air. Raymond laughed and let him fall down. All of them were happy to finally see a legendary warrior who had the energy. They wanted to get the method but the world of martial arts, or their world of martial arts had their own rules. The party continued and Henry kept introducing him to other people. Raymond did not care about the terrestrial beings and he could see that their genes were indeed better but the limit was different.
Raymond was approached by many warriors and he decided to spread the method of using energy. The problem was that there was no energy in this world to absorb. Raymond created the method of practising and gave them the method and said that the energy had to be bought separately. He also said that anyone who can step into the stage of being a martial artist which according to his defintiona was someone who was able to control his body and his instinct could get an exercise unique to them and get 10 crystals of energy, each equivalent to 10 years of energy. They were happy to hear it. Raymond also announced that each crystal would be given at the cost of 10,000 rubbles.
Raymond had a fulfilling day as he controlled their lifeline. He smiled as he stood alone in the balcony. He was approached by many women and he was not interested for now as his consciousness (for the god race and mind for the higher humans like mages and thoughts alone for weak races like humans purely dependent on brain) was preoccupied.
Sarah was the daughter of a martial artist and she had practiced since she was a child. She was weak by birth due to deficiency in resources. Her mother did not have enough food as she was nothing more than a one-night stand and she was not recognized. It was only later due to humanitarianism that she was taken in by her father. She was not though of as his daughter as she could not be proven to be so and she asked for a DNA test and finally proved herself to be his daughter. She was indeed loved since then but the fact remained that her mother was dead and she was weak where the strong were respected. She had absolute control over her body and could even control her veins. She decided to go to the man to ask for a help. If she could climb to a higher position she will.
Raymond looked at Sarah who had approached him. She had the look of yearning for power and they were the ones who were the most to betray. What he liked were those hypocrites as if they really would fall in love with him or would support him due to their actual thoughts, they would even face the world for him. Sarah approached him and said that the moon was bright today.
Raymond looked at her. The moon was indeed bright but what did it have to do with her. He asked the question mildly about what he wanted to do. Sarah spoke about her situation and her yearning for power. Her wish to be recognized by her father was heard but he could see her yearning for power more. Raymond looked at her and asked what does her plight have to do with him. He really hated those parents who had children just for the sake of the norms of society or the ones who wanted them as a retirement guarantee or those who wanted to jump up to a higher class using the children or just wanted to use them as tools. He disliked the women but he had hatred for her father after hearing the stories.
Sarah chuckled and said that the strong would remain strong but one of the iron rules in the martial arts family was the blood cannot be polluted. The men are allowed to have more women and so are the women. The main fact is that the child should be the one from the family. They could not let an outsider come inside especially a person who was sure of being the family.
Raymond could understand that the men would want to have more women and he could also understand women being promiscuous but he could not understand which man could stand their wife sleeping with other men. He looked down on such men and hated the women otherwise.
Sarah spoke in reproach and then asked for forgiveness for speaking out loud. She asked the question that if the men could have more women why couldn't the women have more men. Most men would indeed not like their wives being with someone else and so is it the same here. There are exceptions and some warriors believe that even sex is war and strong women can only be trained with having more sex.
Raymond was indeed aroused after hearing about having a woman being trained by multiple women but he would not like such a woman. He had slept with multiple women and they had had different boyfriends in the past. But the fact remained that when they were with him, they were monogamous and so was him. The reason to have multiple partners was due to the relation breaking down and him forming a relation with other women. Raymond still could not think about sleeping with such women as he did not like the idea of a frivolous women.
Seeing the disgust at the face of Raymond, Sarah asked why he was like that. Raymond asked if she would like a playboy who had more than ten women or a man who had been in relation with more than five women. The answer was obvious to her but the question itself was towards a different direction. The way of life was different here.
When they returned to the main topic Sarah said that she is willing to pay anything to have martial arts unique to her and some energy to become stronger and have her congenital deficiency made up. She said that she was willing to give herself to him as a concubine or a lover. Raymond looked at her and looked away. She said that she was a virgin and she was a fresh person if he liked someone clean. She started speaking about the situation. The women had to be virgins before they got married although there were some men who like women who had borne children to find that if the women had the capacity to bear children. She was keeping her virginity to get married to a rich man and if she was not one, her chips at marriage would lose. She looked at Raymond defiantly. She asked what was the problem when the girl had come forward and he was like an innocent girl.
