"Sister Aelia!"
"Sister Aelia!"
Inside Michael's home in the Sunrise sect, Gaya was cultivating until she heard Jack calling her out. She sensed panic in Jack's voice as she stood up and walked towards the door. It's been five days since Michael left as time flows differently in the outside world than the Nether realm.
For the last five days, she was busy as a bee. She spent half of her day in Majestic and half of the day overseeing the construction of their new high-end restaurant as well as the renovation of the Sunrise sect. Because of the works, she didn't even talk to Michael through the earpiece but fully focused on the work at hand.
Today was supposed to be her holiday and planned to spend the day cultivating.
"This little shit better has a valid reason" She cursed him under her breath and opened the door to see Jack outside the door with five finger marks on his right cheek. On the corner of his mouth, there was a red smudge. All of his clothes were stained with mud and dust and there were even some scratches on his hands. He seemed like he went skating on the ground with his body.
"Sister Aelia" seeing Gaya, Jack felt relieved. Despite her cultivation, Jack thought of her as someone he could rely on or ask for help.
"What happened?" She knew the red smudge was blood and also she didn't fail to notice his legs shiver.
"Sister Aelia, some adventurers stopped the renovation work and they are asking for more gold coins. I tried to negotiate with them but-"
"Did they do this to you?" She interrupted him before he finishes his sentence as Jack nodded his head.
"I'm going to beat the crap out of them for attacking my minion, come!" She tied her raven black hair into a ponytail and rushed towards the student quarters because that's the place they were renovating.
"Sister Aelia, those adventurers have a Body Strengthening level 8 cultivator with them! We should go and get the Baron's men" While the sect is being renovated, Claire and the Elders went to Capital to meet the King of Bredia and settle their debts. Daniel and Ricky were working with the dwarven engineer to build the restaurant according to Michael's plan.
That left the sect with Aelia and she appointed Jack as her minion and gave him the job to oversee the renovation while she's away.
"Shut the fuck up and follow me!"
Plop!
She slapped the back of his head hard and continued to walk. After he was slapped and thrown away from the student quarters by those adventurers, his first instinct was to run to Ghost's home and call Sister Aelia. He didn't think anything about her cultivation or how weak she is compared to a Body Strengthening cultivator. For Jack, Ghost was the highest existence in his world as he basically worshipped him in his mind. Because of Ghost, he had tremendous respect towards Aelia even though she would beat him regularly whenever she gets the chance.
However, he never got mad at Aelia after a while because he knew she might be the only person who would fight for him and protect him like a big sister. He ran behind her like a little kid and hoped that she has a way to resolve this conflict with the adventurers.
A few minutes after, Gaya and Jack came to the renovation site.
"No one can work until someone pays us what they owe us" the disciples and the workers stopped what they were doing and kept their distance from a group of adventurers who just beat Jack.
All the adventurers in the group were a Body Strengthening stage level 3 cultivator except the one who was shouting orders at the workers; he was a Body Strengthening stage level 8 cultivator. In Gaya's eyes, they all had one thing in common, they didn't seem like they came to do construction and renovation work as they were strong enough to get more paying quests.
Their armor alone was worth at least 100 gold coins a piece and they certainly did not need to work for 20 silver a day.
"Who hit you?" asked Gaya.
"Sister Aelia!"
"Sister Aelia is here!"
"Sister Aelia!"
Many disciples shouted the name Aelia when they saw her. The adventurers however just snickered looking at her cultivation level except for the strongest adventurer who looked Gaya with eyes filled with lust.
Many girls who saw him staring at Gaya made them feel nauseated and they prepared themselves to fight the adventurers if they dared to touch Aelia. After Ghost joined their sect, the reputation of the Sunrise sect took a turn and many who bullied them for fun now wouldn't even dare to look at them in a wrong way. Only because of him that they were able to settle their debts and receive the needed resources to cultivate with no hindrance. Therefore, how could they let Ghost's girlfriend be violated by these adventurers?
"It was me, pretty girl" a middle-aged man who was thin as a stick made his way towards Gaya with a wicked grin on his face.
Plop!
"Ah!" the middle-aged man halted his steps when he saw Gaya suddenly slap Jack.
