Altman also stopped and said in an unusually serious tone, "Of course, I'm not joking. As a sage with the power of enlightenment, as long as I'm willing to pay a sufficient price, I can help you obtain the most basic stage of any 'profession'.
Even though it was only the most basic stage, it was still a completely different concept compared to an ordinary person. Not to mention that if you had the heart to improve, as long as you worked hard, it was not impossible for you to raise your professional level and become as powerful as Casdia or Julinas, or even stronger than them!
You made the best choice when you first met us, and now you're the only one who hasn't had a mental breakdown. You can even talk to me. You should be able to tell if I'm lying or not. "
Zhang Lisheng's expression became uncertain as he hesitated. Struggling, he said, "B-But I don't know how I can help you, Sage Altman. I've just made a fortune, so I do have some connections, but … but …"
"Don't worry, child. I will tell you what to do. What I want you to do will definitely be within your capabilities. For example, I hope you can think of a way to take us away from this island after daybreak."
"You are leaving Oahu? Where are you going?"
"You can go anywhere you want. As long as you take us away from this island, I'll activate the 'Warrior's Power' for you first and let your body undergo a complete transformation, allowing you to obtain a physique that surpasses the limits." Altman said sincerely in a voice full of temptation.
Asking a few people without any identification to leave Oahu might be a problem for ordinary people, but it was not too difficult for Zhang Lisheng.
Doing this kind of thing would give him a superhuman physique. This could be said to be an unequal exchange, and the one who suffered a loss was Altman who had the upper hand in the situation.
"I can go anywhere, I can go anywhere …"
The simplest way is for me to buy a yacht and take you to the Kauai Island. I have a powerful friend there …
Of course, it's fine if you don't go to Kauai. I heard that a better yacht can sail around the world … "
"You don't have to explain to me, child. I just need you to do what I ask of you."
"Alright, Sage Altman. In that case, I'll choose to buy a yacht. However, if I want to buy a yacht, I'll have to return to Honolulu City …"
"No problem. I'll let Camil drive for you. Sardner and Mansolad will stay by your side to protect you."
Although it was said to be protection, it was actually surveillance. However, Zhang Lisheng did not have any dissatisfaction when he heard Altman's words. Instead, he replied with an 'OK' and nodded without hesitation.
Altman seemed to be very satisfied with the young man's performance. Patting his shoulder again, he turned around and left without saying a word. Zhang Lisheng, on the other hand, ran back to the fire and leaned on his backpack. After tossing and turning for a while, he gradually fell asleep unknowingly due to exhaustion, snoring softly while breathing evenly.
By the time he got up from the ground, it was already daytime, and the sun was shining brightly.
"You're awake. Sage Altman has changed his mind. He wants me and Annete to follow you into the city. Pack up and we'll set off immediately." Just when Zhang Lisheng stood up in a mess, he heard a stiff voice resonating by his ears.
"C-Mr. Casdia, if it's you who follows me into the city …" The young man was stunned for a moment before asking in astonishment.
"Casdia is your bodyguard and Annete is the professional guide you hired in Honolulu. I think it'll be more credible for such a combination to buy a yacht and it'll be less likely to arouse suspicion." Under the bright sunshine of the morning, Altman pointed at a bay of clear water floating in the air not far away and told Zhang Lisheng, "Come on, child. Wash your face and you'll set off soon."
"Yes." Zhang Lisheng quickly ran to Altman's side and hesitantly reached his hand into the bay of water in the air. He realized that it was all ordinary clean water inside so he scooped up some water to wash his face. After that, he exclaimed in admiration, "Sage Altman, did you make this? It's amazing!"
"This is the power of sorcery. Sages can't touch it. When you become a Warlock, you'll naturally understand it."
Upon hearing Altman's words, Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment. Then, he nodded with a somewhat yearning and somewhat resistant expression on his face. After washing his face and tidying up his clothes, he embarked on the road back together with Casdia and Annete.
Unknowingly, they walked out of the volcanic area and walked on the forest path leading to the parking lot. Suddenly, the young man said, "Mr. Casdia, it's not suitable for you to dress like this to be my bodyguard."
"Mr. Zhang, from now on, you can call me Suno," Casdia said in a deep voice. "Don't worry, there's a change of clothes in Annete's car. I can barely wear his clothes so I'll change into them when we reach the parking lot."
"Oh, looks like I've worried too much. Sage Altman is a cautious and wise man so how could he not think of this?"
Upon hearing the young man's words, Casdia smiled stiffly and coldly. As a commander who could see the overall situation, he was very clear about the weight of a businessman like Zhang Lisheng relying on his side. He understood that he should treat him with a kind and kind attitude as much as possible.
However, no matter how many excuses he had, Zhang Lisheng still betrayed his own world by helping the spy from the supernatural realm.
As a brave and fearless warrior, of course, it was impossible for Casdia to have a good impression of a despicable traitor. He was not good at pretending so his attitude towards the young man appeared to be somewhat contradictory and strange.
Casdia's strange smile did not seem to attract Zhang Lisheng's attention but when it entered the eyes of Annete, who already had a docile expression, it dispelled the last trace of strange thoughts in his heart.
After witnessing Casdia's powerful strength last night, Annete knew very well that unless he hid in the US Navy or Air Force military base in Oahu, the supernatural realm's warrior beside him would still be able to easily kill him in front of the police even if he called the police.
Now that he had revealed such a horrifying smile with unknown meaning, it would be safer for him to be honest for the sake of his own life.
The three of them had their own thoughts as they quietly walked all the way to the parking lot. They did not say a word at all.
It was only until they arrived in front of Annete's SUV that Zhang Lisheng suddenly came to a halt. Touching his stomach, he looked around and said, "Oh, Mr. Casdia, I'm sorry. I want to go to the washroom. You can go with me and wait outside the toilet's grid."
Casdia had the pride and conceit of a warrior and commander-in-chief. Even though Altman had warned him to keep a close watch on him, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr Zhang, Sage Altman has instructed me to give you the greatest freedom as far as possible.
You can go to the washroom alone but when I'm done changing my clothes in the car, I hope that you can get in as well. "
"Then I hope that you can change your clothes a little slower.
Mr. Annete, where's the washroom in the parking lot? "
"Over there." Annete pointed the direction for Zhang Lisheng and opened the door of the SUV.
After entering the car, the instant he sat on the driver's seat, he suddenly felt a tingling pain all over his body as though he was being run through by a weak electric current. Fortunately, the uncomfortable feeling only flashed by and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Annete rubbed his eyes tiredly and cursed under his breath. "Damn it!" Turning around, he took out a change of clothes wrapped in a paper bag from the back seat and handed it to Casdia, who had already sat in the front passenger seat, before closing the door.
Since he wanted to change his clothes, after taking the clothes, Casdia inadvertently imitated Annete to close the door. At that instant when he closed the door, he suddenly saw Zhang Lisheng, who was walking to the washroom, turn his head abruptly and flashed a stiff and cold smile at him through the window.
In an instant, Casdia felt goosebumps all over his body. Along with the goosebumps, Annete, who was by his side, also had goosebumps.
Dozens of hundreds of ugly flying insects that were the size of a baby's fist and had red and black circular patterns on their bodies with 20-centimeter-long pitch-black stingers rapidly flapped their transparent wings and emerged from Annete's body that had exploded into countless thin pieces of human skin, piercing towards Casdia who was staying in the narrow car.
Being attacked, the warrior, who did not know how to open the car door, could only recklessly pour his violent combat energy into his body and smash the car door directly.
Unable to attend to one thing and lose sight of another, among the hundreds of flying insects that surrounded him, one of them broke through Casdia's protective combat energy and pierced its poisonous stinger into his body.
At that instant, the violent poison began to flow to every part of his body along with his blood. The warrior, who could sense the faint black fog appearing in front of him, did not care that he was already poisoned at all. After obtaining enough space, he pulled out his sword abruptly.
However, at the same time when he pulled out his sword, the flying insects that were chasing after him from the SUV suddenly swelled up by more than 20 times. Their stomachs that were full of wrinkles bulged rapidly. Ten by ten, they joined forces and began to charge towards the warrior, not letting go of any blind spots.
Whether these strange insects were slashed to death by Casdia's sword or they were close enough to him, they would explode silently like a miniature vacuum bomb.
In an extremely short period of time, the air within an area of about 50 square meters around Casdia was distorted to form small pieces of dense vacuum belts, tearing the warrior, who had no possibility of dodging at all, into pieces.
After Casdia had endured the attack of the flying insects with much difficulty, the head of a giant insect with a long body extended out of the air and bit him in its mouth. Raising its head, it roared and began to chew.
At this time, the warrior, who knew that he could no longer escape, finally made up his mind to die together with the enemy. Unleashing the last of his strength, he shouted 'burn' loudly. Dazzling yellow light radiated from his body as he slowly opened the mouth of the giant beast.
However, when he floated in the air and glanced at the parking lot under his feet with his blood-red eyes, he realized that the place where Zhang Lisheng was standing a few seconds ago was now squatting with a monster that was the size of three mills side by side. It was bulging its body and opening its mouth wide, spurting out a cyclone that seemed to be able to distort even the light scattered by the sun.
Floating in the air like a target, Casdia, who had experienced hundreds of big and small battles in his life and had never been defeated, finally felt despair for the first time in his life.
Decades of extraordinary years flashed across his mind. In the end, the image was fixed on a charming woman wearing a white dress who was standing in the spring breeze with a smile.
"Estelle …" A reluctant smile appeared at the corner of the warrior's mouth as he uttered a name gently. Then, he cursed, "This is really the world of the devil …" Then, he was torn into pieces by the strong wind.
