Chapter 365: Same old.

Master Chu laughed before looking back up at Haru with a look of sorrow on his face. "Backed by a strong person would be an understatement. They are in fact one of the groups that are backed by the Kastron star alliance. Even I wouldn't dare to make an enemy of them on my own.

If you would have gone there to retaliate for them sending an assassin after you, I am afraid that you would have been killed without mercy. Even if you made it out of their base alive, they would track you down no matter where you are within the star system and kill you for making an enemy out of them.

I guess if he really isn't dead then we have nothing to fear. But you are lucky. The alliance will allow fighting among their members but as soon as someone else interferes in their matters they will stop at nothing to make an example of what happens to those that go against them." Master Chu explained as Haru gulped as he realised how bad it could have ended for him.

He had planned to kill the assassin for trying to take his life but if he had done then he would have been in a terrible situation with his life on the line. He felt a little bit better about the situation now that he knew more about the situation on the planet. But the feeling of knowing that there was nothing he could do to get revenge against the people hunting him left a bad taste in his mouth.

It was exactly like the situation back on earth with the demon clan coming after him but instead, these people weren't held back by the realms restrictions and were probably hundreds if not thousands of times stronger than Haru. 

'Why do I always find myself in situations like this? This time it's a lot worse than it has ever been before though. I have no one here I can call a friend and the people that are after me have control over not only a portion of this planet but all the other ones in the universe. 

It might just be a good idea to go into hiding until I become strong enough to fight back against them. But what would be the point in that? I would be betraying myself. I told myself that I would never hide from anyone nor hold myself back when put in a situation where there is no choice but to fight.

I can't simply hide away and wait for it to get better. If I ever want to grow stronger then I have to face this head-on. But that is easier said than done.' Haru thought as he looked down at the ground before Master Chu spoke.

"Don't worry about it so much though. As long as you are in this town and you don't kill any of their people then they will have no reason to disrupt the peace and send the main force to kill you. 

There might be a few occasional assassins but I can promise you that as long as you stay here, you won't face any real danger other than that." Master Chu said as Haru looked back up and listened to what he had to say.

"Well, honestly it doesn't look like I have much of a choice. I don't know anyone here and also don't have the strength to fight them on my own." Haru said with a sigh as he felt as though it was a better option than hiding. But he still felt a little bit angry about being in a situation like this once again. 

"That's right. I guess you are just lucky that you were stronger than the assassins that they sent. And if I am being honest I am confused as to what the powers were that you used earlier. Was it some kind of stealth technique? I couldn't even tell you were there until you made a noise. 

It was like you just erased every single part of you. And I am surprised by the fact that you managed to evade all of my attacks. Usually, someone of your cultivation stage would have been hit with the first attack and get mortally wounded by it. But you managed to block it of all things.

There are still a lot of things I would like to know about you if you don't mind. It's been a long time since I have met someone from outside this star system. I would love to learn more about the outside if you ever get the time to come back for a chat." Master Chu said as he seemed curious about Haru and wanted to know everything that he did. 

It was only a natural fascination though since he was curious as to how life was like outside the star system.

Haru was about to leave after nodding his head but then stopped after remembering something. He looked down at his hand and then held it out in front of him as a flash of light shot out revealing a small bag that appeared in the palm of his hand before he turned back to face Master Chu and his student.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Would you mind passing this along to Annabeth? I told her I would give it to her the next time I saw her but since she is out I think it will be okay if I leave it with you." Haru said before tossing the back over towards Master Chu who then caught it in his hand and then placed it down on the table in front of him.

"Sure, that's no problem at all. Take care." Master Chu said as Haru left the building on top of the lake and then went about his business. 

Haru walked back through the yard that he had to sneak through earlier but this time he didn't conceal his presence. It seemed that all the guards had gone back to their positions and none of them was even concerned about him being there as he walked past a couple of them before approaching the large staircase.

'I know he said that he would deal with the guards but I didn't expect him to do it without me even realising. But that is to be expected of someone of his power.' Haru thought as he felt relieved to finally be out of there. 

Although he felt as though he was safe within the building there was a constant feeling within his heart that he could have been killed at any moment. Although Haru didn't show it on the surface, just being in the presence of Master Chu was enough to activate his fight or flight response. Yet he decided to trust him and join him inside since he didn't feel as though he actually wanted to kill him.

It was probably because he knew that Haru was from a different realm from the moment that he arrived on the planet so he never actually planned to cause him harm. But when he launched a few attacks upon noticing him in the caught yard it seemed to be more like a test than an actual attack on his life.

Haru sighed as he inhaled the air above the town. It was a lot thinner at the top of the stairs than it was in the town below but that was to do with the height of the hill that the city lords mansion was on.

As Haru faced the town below the stairs he realised the true scale of it and realised why the city lord was had his name given the fact that Annabeth had said that it was just a town.

The sun was starting to set over the town as Haru watched candles flicker down below and people close their windows for the night. He took a few moments to take in the scenery around him before finally feeling something that he hadn't felt for a long time.

'I'm finally free huh? I have no family, friends or anyone expecting me to do anything for them here. I get to decide how I live my life yet I still feel empty. I thought that coming to the middle realm would be an adventure but it's starting to turn into a nightmare.

I have a long way to go with my cultivation to get to a level where I can fight back against the Kastron star alliance. 

But if I go through with that they will hunt me down and I will have nowhere to run. I don't even know how to leave this star system after all.

But there is no reason to worry about that. First I have to take care of my cultivation. I still don't have a clue how to use True Qi. I should probably start by using the new technique to cultivate more power.' Haru thought to himself as he began to descend the stairs before walking out of the gate at the bottom and heading for the edge of the town where he had spoken to Annabeth as he knew that it was quiet in that area.

Haru then found a spot on the rooftop of one of the buildings and sat down before beginning to cultivate for the night.
