Luck is a Charm

Chapter 75: Arrival

Swift Feather Kingdom~

"Sara, how was the academy life going so far?" John asked Sara when she returned home.

"Hmm, the academy is going well so far. I was able to learn a lot of new stuff that wasn't available back in the town." Sara smiled blissfully as she went and hugged Sandy who came out.

Meanwhile, John smiled bitterly when he learned of the news of what happened in the Town of Ash.

It has been overrun by depraved magical beasts and everyone has retreated here to seek shelter.

'It must have been tough for that Aaron Flare.' 

John imagined Aaron Flare's mood to be extremely bad after the town he managed for a long time is now another town of ruin.

However, John did not regret leaving the town because he cared more about his wife and daughter. Turning his head to see Sara talking and joking with Sandy, he was suddenly ticked.

"Kuro, stop eating it sneakily and wait for everyone else," John shouted loudly when he detected Kuro stealing a bite of the food that Sandy just placed on the table.

Kuro completely disregarded his word as he grabbed another meat and chomped it loudly in front of him.

"Hahahaha," When Sandy and Sara saw this scenario, they burst out laughing since it wasn't the first time this happens.

After all, every time John sees Kuro, he's reminded of his Master, stealing his precious gem then ditching her completely.

"Hmph, if that boy does not come soon, Sara, just dump him already." John walked to the dinner table as he said the word to Sara.

"Father, you're at it again. Besides, he didn't ditch me and was just training. Also, he changed his name to Zen, so don't call him a boy anymore." Sara retorted to John as she found her seat at the table.

"I call him what I want and enough of the bullshit that he's training. He is probably looking for women to steal their purity." John finished his word and started eating the food.

Sara only shook her head as she still wasn't able to change her father's view on Zen. 

'Zen, where and what are you doing now?' Sara looked at the window outside and wondered in her mind.

=================

"So this is the richest kingdom huh. No wonder why." Zen exclaimed when he arrived in the Jade Kingdom.

'However, it seems this kingdom naming sense is as bad as me. The Jade Kingdom is such an original and bland name. Couldn't they come up with anything better?'

Zen said inwardly when Cecilia told him to head to the Jade Kingdom for the upcoming auction house where they could purchase unique and rare items.

"Enough with your thinking again and head toward an inn. We arrived early so there's still 2 days before the auction house starts." Cecilia said to interrupt Zen when he was just standing still and looking like a country bumpkin.

"Tch, here with the bossy Cecilia again.' 

Zen didn't dare to delay anymore as he enquired a pedestrian for the best inn in this Kingdom.

"Huh, a foreigner eh. My mouth is kinda a bit dry unless there's something to clench my throat." When Zen asked a pedestrian randomly, he started speaking rubbish to get Zen to pay him up.

Of course, Zen gladly helps him by hugging his shoulder to cover the views of other people before activating his essence flame.

"My flame here is pretty fiery and if I stuff this in your mouth. I guarantee your mouth will not be dry at all." Zen said, smiling at the pedestrian who started to have sweat trickling down his forehead.

"Haha, I apologize for this ignorant eye of mine to not see a fantastic mage such as yours truly. Please allow me to redeem myself."

"Please enlighten me." Zen deactivated his essence flame to avoid attracting any attention from others as he laughed loudly while talking with him.

When the flame dispersed, the pedestrian started giving out every information possible that he knew regarding this kingdom before Zen let him go.

However, Zen placed a spiritual qi in his body just in case he decided to be a whistleblower.

'Better to be safe than sorry later on. I'm in an unfamiliar place and don't know much of the people here.'

Zen was cautious ever since he entered this Kingdom but to avoid being suspicious, he has been acting arrogant and pridefully.

One that matches a useless rich 2nd generation brat that just uses his family influence to bully around.

Zen continued walking like a fool while entering the inn that the pedestrian said.

*Creak*

Opening the door, everyone looked at Zen who was clearly a foreigner but Zen kept up with his act.

"Where's the worker? This young master wants the best room and best service." Zen shouted loudly, ignoring everyone.

Instantly, a waitress came to greet Zen despite being very unwilling. 'It's one of those arrogant young masters. My luck is just fantastic to meet one in my shift.'

"Hello, young master, our VIP room is currently full as of this moment." The waitress bowed nervously while keeping a distance.

'Hoh, my acting skill is really on point. To think I scared this waitress this much. Maybe I should tease her a bit more.'

"To dare not leave an empty room for this young master. Fine, I forgive you if you warm my bed tonight." Zen said smirkingly where if you don't know him well, you would want to beat him to a pulp.

"You motherfucking arrogant bastard." Someone else finally couldn't stand Zen's behavior as he slammed his table while walking up to him.

Zen remained still while staring at him with a deadpan look. 'I expect the waitress to defend herself and not some retards like you who tried to be a knight in shining armor.'

Zen despised this person who just spoke up because he can tell he's the type to act kind in front of people but deep inside, he has done many immoral things.

"So little waitress, ignoring this clown, what's your answer." Zen stopped looking at the clown and stared back at the waitress.

"Icicle Lance," When the clown who tried to act like a hero saw Zen disrespecting him, he started to cast his magic to hit Zen.

However, Zen didn't even bother to turn his head around and just used his essence flame on him.

*Bang*

The clown couldn't even resist one blow as he flew and knocked over many tables, causing a disaster in the scene.

'With this scene, I doubt anyone would suspect me of doing anything. Since coming here to the auction house was just a bonus.' Zen nodded his head when he used his spiritual sense to see the disruption he caused.
