Expert Down The Mountain by Summer
Chapter 1
[You shouldn’t be staying in this ravine anymore, too. A decade ago, I owed someone a favor. At that time, I told him that in the future, I’ll let my student marry his granddaughter to repay that favor.
[Take the half of the pendant that’s holding down the envelope on the table and find him.
[Oh, by the way, leaving without enough money to use would be inconvenient for me. I’ve taken the money in your piggy bank. Don’t worry, I’ve left some for you.
[Lastly, don’t forget to continue with your training. I’ll give you a test once I’m back.]
Cyrus clutched the paper in his hand so hard that it became crumpled. He looked at the broken pieces of his piggy bank with an unpleasant expression. There were a few banknotes underneath the broken pieces, and the largest amount was only ten dollars.
‘You stupid old man, I’ve saved up at least fifty thousand dollars in there, and you only left me with less than twenty dollars?!’
After a long time, he took a deep breath. ‘Whatever. Eighteen dollars it is. At least I can still afford a couple of meals.’
Cyrus picked up that half of the pendant from the table and tore open the envelope. Inside were two pieces of paper; one of them was written by Mr. Frank (his master), which was meant to be given to the person he owed a favor to, and the other one was that person’s address.
……
Two days later, Cyrus arrived at Fliton City, Atralo, like the address on the letter stated. It was a villa district!
“It looks like he’s someone rich.” He was slightly stunned.
‘Any of these villas can easily cost ten million dollars. You’d need a lot of piggy banks to store this much money…’
“Hey, you! What are you doing? This is not somewhere you can stay for long. Leave!”
A security guard holding a riot baton looked at him fiercely.
“I’m looking for someone.” With a flick of his wrist, that pendant flew toward the guard.
The guard caught it, but he suddenly felt a powerful force. It was so great that he had to take three steps back.
He was a little shocked. ‘I’m a retired special officer. Even if a normal person punched me at close range, I wouldn’t budge!
‘He looks like he’s in his twenties, and yet…’
“I’m here to find Lufian Gardner. Bring this pendant to him and say that I’m his old friend’s student, and I’m here to repay a favor.”
