Re: Evolution Online - Chapter 1049

Pu!

The little rabbit ambled over and casually spat out the small glittering object in her mouth. While everyone curiously peered over to see what it was, Liam alone raised his brows.

With one look, he instantly knew what the object was.

A lucky coin!

Heck, he had another one that looked exactly the same. So how could there be any mistake?

However, right at this moment, this object was not the object of his interest. Rather it was the person who had brought them all over here.

Liam turned to glance at the monk standing beside him with a newfound respect for the jittery fellow with the shifty behavior. Anyone who saw the monk could tell that the guy was full of it.

Starting from his smile, his words, his ass-kissing, everything screamed fake. But lo and behold, here they were.

Liam bent down slowly as he picked up the coin from the ground. He held it in his hand and tossed it up in the air, catching it absent-mindedly the next instant, all the while glancing at the monk.

The guy was now wearing an even bigger smile. “I told you! I told you!” He excitedly laughed as if he himself was surprised that some result came from this trip.

Obviously, the rabbit was not an ordinary rabbit, and so was the coin it had brought from somewhere. So he was over the moon seeing his prediction come true.

But not everyone was happy. Alex didn’t let go of such a nice chance. “What ‘I told you’? You said there would be danger here, remember?”

“Ah…”

“What? Tell me. What is the danger here?”

“Um…”

“The only danger here is this coin, but it is only dangerous for you because you just might choke on it!” Alex abruptly stepped forward and started tugging at the collar of the saffron robe the monk was wearing, thereby constricting his neck.

“Haa… Haaa… Good Miss… it’s not nice to use violence on a man of the cloth.” The monk started gasping and choking, but his strength was not enough to break free from Alex’s grip.

On the side, Caden was very much enjoying the show. Just like Alex, he also hated the damn bastard and firmly believed that everything happening here was due to sheer luck!

Kill the bug! Kill the bug! He inwardly cheered for Alex.

The monk saw the unobscured killing intent coming off of the both of them and shivered. He then turned to the only person who could save him now.

“Good Sir, please! I am only trying to help you here.”

Liam sighed. His patience was also wearing thin. He gave a stern stare towards the monk and asked him the same question Alex had asked him, that is, before she started choking him.

“You said there was going to be danger here. That is the prediction you made. But there is no danger here. What happened and what you predicted are completely-” Liam suddenly paused.

It was the complete opposite. He finished the sentence in his mind.

Liam now looked at the shifty monk in a completely new light. Could it all be a fluke, or maybe…

And while he was thinking, Alex was happily torturing the guy.

“Good Sir, please. Haa… Haa…. Please… Kind lady… Lady! Haa… Haa… Stop choking me…. Ahhhh! I am telling the truth!!! Why are you all torturing a man of the cloth?”

“It’s fine. Let him go.” Liam nodded, making the two look at him curiously.

“Let’s go back. If you want to redeem yourself, find another dangerous place just like this. Otherwise… I won’t do anything.” Liam shrugged. “She will do whatever she wants with you.”

Hearing the threat, the monk felt his scalp go numb.

He He. Alex grinned.

“Don’t worry. I am sure you will get it correct.” She let go of the guy and patted him on the back in a friendly manner. Only her friendly pat made the monk stagger forward and wince in pain.

He looked around to see if anyone would protest about this injustice, but no one was paying attention to him. “Amitabha! Save me from these monsters.”

Shortly afterward, Luna picked up the pace again, and once more, the group started wandering aimlessly in the sky.

Time ticked by as the group remained silent, with each engrossed in their own thoughts.

Liam looked solemnly toward the sun, various thoughts racing across his mind. At times, he turned to glance at the monk, who was now profusely sweating.

Liam wanted to laugh at this. Was he really that scary? In reality, his current confidence level was lower than ever before. There were too many moving parts and too many things out of his control.

Ever since he received his second chance, he at least had an inkling of control over the course of his life, and now there were factors well beyond his scope.

For instance, the draconian princess.

He did not know anything about her. He had no idea what was running in her mind, what her intentions were, or even what she was doing at the moment.

Why did she not come with him on this trip? If her plans depend on him and he was an important part of her survival, shouldn’t she be right here with him, helping him in every way possible?

However, she chose to stay back. What was the meaning behind it?

Liam couldn’t help but feel as if the woman was constantly holding back her words. She was helping him, but perhaps just enough for him to become as strong as she needed him to be.

On the other hand, perhaps he was overthinking things.

Liam let out a long-suffering sigh as he stared at the hues of the sky that were as muddled as his thoughts. But like the stars in the sky that twinkled brightly despite this haze, he was clear about some things.

He needed to heal himself. Somehow. That was his start. However, that heavily relied on…

Interrupting his thoughts, the monk’s voice sounded again, a little too high-pitched for his liking.

“Stop squealing like a pig.” Alex barked.

This time the monk outright ignored her and gave Liam a big salute. “Good sir! There is danger ahead!”

Kyuu!

More than Liam, the little fox was excited. She quickened up her pace, and a few seconds later…

The rabbit appeared once again, and Liam had another lucky coin in his hand.

“He He He. Good sir, I told you I do not lie.” The monk was grinning from ear to ear.

“Again! You said there would be danger!” Alex purposefully argued, even though she could already see that the idiot indeed had a talent of some kind. It looked like he was not a scammer after all.

Liam ignored the two. His focus was now completely on the three lucky coins in his possession. He tossed all three coins up into the air, catching them back at the same speed with a smile on his face.

“Let’s keep going.”

Liam had a feeling that this day was about to become much more interesting.
