Chapter 1333 Reunion

'Huh?'

Hearing Darbaudr's words made everyone around him frown as they looked at the barbarian with serious looks in their eyes.

There were some onlookers who were furious and wanted to beat the shit out of Darbaudr; however, when they realized that there was a king realm barbarian beside him, they controlled their anger.

Even though they suppressed their anger, they were still looking at him as though they were waiting for the barbarian to explain the meaning behind his words.

"Uncle Dralf, let's go and collect our betting money."

However, Darbaudr didn't even bother to look at them as he pulled his uncle to the gambling den in the colosseum.

'...'

All the onlookers wanted to stop them; however, they didn't want to mess with a King realm barbarian because barbarians easily get angry and they might even kill those who were bothering them.

Seward, Elek and their personal disciples knew something about why Darbaudr said those words; however, they wanted to hear it from Darbaudr's words as it would help them get a complete understanding of Ajax.

With that thought in their heads, they followed the barbarians to the gambling den as they also made some good returns from the gambling den.

...

After collecting their returns from the gambling den, they slowly walked towards the resting quarters for the participants from the Zrochester province.

"Darbaudr, what do you mean by the earlier words...I mean, why are you worried about the guardian of the Purple stone world?"

Along the way, Seward asked Darbaudr in a calm tone as though he was not stressing that Darbaudr should answer his question.

"As you already know, young master Ajax has a master…a very powerful one at that."

Darbaudr looked at Seward and others as he continued, "If the guardian of the purple stone world is adamant on accepting the young master as his personal disciple, then this world will lose a guardian."

"Even though his master might not be in this world, he will always protect him with his mysterious techniques."

Darbaudr noticed a couple of times that whenever Ajax was in huge trouble, he would come up with something out of nowhere and of course, Darbaudr concluded it as the help from Ajax's master.

"Oh"

Except for Seward and Elek, everyone opened their mouths with surprise.

"Yeah. We also noticed it when we were trying to pry into Ajax's secrets back in the mercenary guild."

Seward spoke without thinking much; however, it was too late for him to realize that he spoke something he should not have spoken in front of the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators.

"What? Master, you pry into the secrets of others?"

"Looks like our masters always watch us from the shadows."

"They watch us to protect us from being harmed."

"Really? I doubt that?"

When everyone was supporting the actions of the vagrant cultivators, Lewis looked at his master Elek and replied with doubtful eyes.

"You little ungrateful brat."

Elder Elek became furious when he heard Lewis' words as he slapped his head before saying, "We do that to protect you."

Even though he said that the real reason why they tried to pry into Ajax's secrets was that they were a little doubtful that Ajax was a demonic cultivator.

However, their spirit consciousnesses were blocked by some kind of powerful barrier which didn't allow them to see through it. From that barrier, they concluded that Ajax's master will be an emperor realm cultivator.

"Anyway, let's go and rest for now. I am excited for the final round of the contest."

Elder Seward nodded his head as he changed the topic because he didn't want to talk about it.

.....

In a secret realm.

'Swoosh'

The guardian and the four young participants appeared in an open ground.

"Huh? Why am I here?"

Ajax looked at the surroundings that looked familiar and asked himself as he looked at the others who were beside him.

'Guardian and the three mask participants.'

Ajax noticed the others as he silently muttered to himself as he raised his guard up/

"Brat, looks like you have become very powerful."

As Ajax was raising his guard up, he heard a familiar voice that he had heard a long time ago.

"El…elder Boron."

Ajax stuttered in his words as he looked at the black-robed old man who removed the mask covering his face.

"Ajax, how are you?"

At the same time, the young participants removed their masks as they asked Ajax.

"Brother Jason, Damon and Hector."

At a single glance, Ajax recognized them as his eyes turned misty.

Ajax was barely controlling his tears because he knew that Elder Boron would mock him for being a crybaby.

"Is it real or am I dreaming once again?"

Ajax rubbed his head as he pinched himself to see whether what he was seeing right now was true or not.

Because in the past, he had a similar dream many times and he wanted to make sure what he was seeing right now was true.

'Aargh…it is real.'

Ajax felt the pain and confirmed it was real and the tears in his eyes were about to come out.

For Ajax, even though it was less than two years since he parted ways with Jason and others, he was very happy to see them alive.

As for Elder Boron, he was more than a family for Ajax because he taught so many things to Ajax and Ajax was very grateful for that.

Moreover, just thinking he had finally reunited with Elder Boron and his friends from the Silver Orphanage, makes Ajax cry like a baby.

'Slam'

"Stop being the crybaby."

Jason and others wanted to console Ajax because he had to survive on his own in this dog-eat-dog world; however, before they could reach Ajax, Elder Boron appeared beside Ajax and slammed Ajax's back.

"Elder Boron, are you planning to kill me or what?"

Even though Ajax didn't feel much pain from the slap, he shouted back at him just like how he used to retort in the past.

"You haven't changed a bit."

Elder Boron shook his head as he asked, "Anyway, it is time for you to learn about some things."
