Rex carried the unconscious Connie onto the table and placed his hand gently on her forehead. After making sure that she had fainted from the heat, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself. "She's exactly the same as that lass back then. She fainted from the heat."
He retracted his hand and stared at Connie's face for a while. She had a delicate face, brown curly hair that was drenched in sweat, pinkish-white cat ears, and a few freckles on the tip of her nose.
"She does resemble that lass back then. Even these freckles …" Rex murmured in a daze. After a while, he came back to his senses and said with a complicated expression, "A hundred years have passed. I wonder how she is now. With the lifespan of an orc, she might not be around anymore …"
Rex stared at Connie for a while and pressed his hand gently on her shoulder. He used a strong source power to drive away the heat in her body.
"Mm ~"
Connie moaned, and slowly opened her eyes. She happened to meet Rex's eyes, and could not help but be shocked. She rolled off the table and onto the floor.
"Ouch!" Connie screamed and got up from the floor while rubbing her butt. She looked at Rex and complained, "Uncle, what are you doing?"
"You fainted. I saved you." Rex spread his hands and said calmly.
"Is that so?" Connie thought for a while. She did faint from the heat just now, and there were no traces of being violated on her body. It seemed that this uncle was a decent person. She thanked Rex, "Thank you. I've already delivered the food. Give me the money, I'm going back."
"Alright." Rex opened the drawer of the table and took out ten dragon coins and a gold coin for Connie.
"Then I'm leaving. Goodbye." Connie kept the money and picked up the helmet on the table. She turned around and was about to leave.
"Do you know Debbie?" Rex suddenly asked.
"Debbie?" Connie stopped and thought seriously. She turned around in shock. "How do you know my grandmother's name?"
"I knew it." Lex understood. So this little girl was her granddaughter. No wonder she looked so similar to Lex back then. However, it seemed like she still married that guy in the end.
"Hey, Uncle, I'm asking you. How do you know my grandmother?" Connie could not help but ask when she saw Rex in a daze.
In an unfamiliar place like Chaos City, she suddenly heard her grandmother's name from a middle-aged man whom she had met for the first time. She was both excited and wary.
"I've seen your grandmother before. She looks a little like you, so I was just asking." Lex came back to her senses and restrained her expression. She tried to ask as calmly as possible, "Is she … doing well?"
"She passed away." Connie's expression darkened, and his voice became low. "After father was killed, she drank the poison and told me to run away from the tribe alone."
"Is she dead …" Rex clenched his fists tightly. The scenes from over a hundred years ago kept flashing past his mind. That cat-eared young lady whom he saved by accident chased after him recklessly, and foolishly created one farce after another.
Although most of the time, she could only chase after the traces he left behind, and the days that she really spent with him added up to less than a month, the three years that he was chased after were probably the three years of his life that were slightly colorful in the past.
After that, he took his revenge, and had no more goals in life. He was locked up in the Bastie Prison, and was completely isolated from the outside world.
Until today, when he saw Connie again, the throbbing in his heart suddenly made him understand his feelings.
However, she was already dead. There were some words that he would never have the chance to say to her again.
"Back then, when my hair reaches my waist, I will marry you … it actually came true."
Rex suddenly felt that his heart had become a little empty, as if something important was missing.
"What is the relationship between this uncle and my grandmother?" Connie sized Rex up secretly. She could feel Rex's sadness when he heard the news of her grandmother's death.
"Buddha jumps over the wall … long hair …" Connie glanced at the 'Buddha jumps over the wall' on the table, and her eyes lit up. She looked at Rex, and said, "Could it be that Uncle is bald? The Hairless Monk? You are the Hairless Monk that my grandmother always talks about, right? "
She grew up with her grandmother. Ever since she was young, her grandmother had never told her the stories of the Falk Tribe's heroes. She only told her stories about the Hairless Monk.
That was a superhero without hair.
Rex's lips moved as he asked Connie, "Did she mention me to you?"
"Of course. I grew up listening to your stories. Grandmother told me again and again. I can even memorize them all." Connie nodded. Her eyes were shining as she looked at the Hairless Monk. This was the most powerful hero in her heart, and he was actually standing right in front of her now.
"A hundred years have passed. I didn't expect her to still remember me," Rex murmured with a smile on his lips.
In this world, she was probably the only one who could treat him as a hero.
In the eyes of the world, he was a great demon who committed all kinds of crimes. Even now, those prison guards were still filled with fear when they faced him.
Connie looked at Rex with a burning gaze, and said, "Hairless Monk, can you take me in as your disciple? I want to be as powerful as you. "
"Take you in as a disciple?" Rex looked at Connie. "Why do you want to be my disciple? What happened to the Falk Tribe now? "
"Gary, that big baddie, betrayed us. He killed my father, imprisoned my elder brother, and became the new chief of the Falk Tribe. I want to become powerful, go back to save my elder brother, and kill that baddie Gary! "Connie said with a determined gaze.
"Rebellion." Rex frowned. The Falk Tribe was the second largest tribe among the orcs. They were very powerful, and their chief was not the only 10th-tier powerhouse in the tribe. Killing the chief and becoming the new chief was probably not something that Gary could do.
"That baddie colluded with a few elders in the tribe, and even received reinforcements from the Aug Tribe. He is a traitor, and also a traitor," Connie said angrily.
Rex was silent for a while. He looked up at the fuming Connie, and calmly asked, "If you want to be my disciple and become a powerhouse, the process will definitely be very tough. You might even suffer a fate worse than death. Can you persevere?"
"If I can kill that traitor and save my elder brother, I will definitely persevere." Connie nodded with determination.
Rex looked into Connie's eyes, just like that young lady who said to him with determination, "I will definitely catch up to you" more than a hundred years ago.
Debbie, I let you down back then. Let me pay it back with your granddaughter, Rex thought to himself. Then, he nodded at Connie, and said, "Then, let's start training tonight. Wait for me at the entrance of the prison at 10pm."
"S-uncle, does that mean you agree?" Connie was stunned.
"What should I call you if you want to be my disciple?" Rex asked with a straight face.
"Master!" Connie called out happily.
"You can go back first. I want to eat too." Rex turned around with a smile on his face, but his voice was still calm.
