Child of Destiny

Old Ryong ignored that comment as he continued. ”There are only a very few ʼDemonsʼ with such a dense demonic power around, but I canʼt seem to remember someone like you.”

”Just what are you exactly?” he asked as his hand slowly fixed his grip on his cane.

This time, the ʼrespectʼ that Jan Mateo had completely disappeared. ”Hey, old man. You better do your own thing and donʼt get involved in my business.”

”Since you are an old fossil, you should have known about the unspoken rule,” he added as he crossed his hands behind him and leaned forward. ”How about I use mine now? Letʼs not bother each other for a month and I will leave this place peacefully without creating any kind of disturbance.”

Old Ryong smirked. ”You are talking about the unspoken rule, yet you are unwilling to introduce yourself properly? It looks like the younger generation is getting bolder since we secluded ourselves.”

Jan Mateo smiled as he said. ”Trust me when I say this, Senior. You not knowing who I am is the best for the both of us.”

”Never trust the words of a Demon. That is a basic rule,” replied Old Ryong.

Shing!

As those words left his mouth, his suddenly flicked upwards. It hit the handle of his cane and sent it upwards, unsheathing the sword hidden under it.

Swoosh!

Old Ryongʼs figure suddenly flickered at that time as his other hand caught the flying sword. There was a flash of light as the old man suddenly appeared in front of Jan Mateo while pointing the sword forward.

Jan Mateo did not move as he stared at the incoming attack, completely unbothered. The shadow underneath him seemed to have as it extended itself and formed a group of tentacles that grabbed the blade of the sword tightly, preventing it from moving further.

Jan Mateo wanted to try fighting the old man, but he knew that he could not afford to do that since it would only expose him to the others.

Just like Old Ryong could not see through his disguise completely, he was also unaware of the real identity of the old man. He only knew that he was an old expert and a fellow Demonic Practitioner.

There was a tense atmosphere between the two as they maintained their positions.

A fight between demons was about to break out.
