Chapter 585 Strange Old Man



This time, David\'s smile froze. O-ordinary skull? This was the skull of an Atman realm expert! Even if the old man had no idea about how expensive something like this was, the wavelength the skull radiated was something that could make even a Phaser go on his knees.

The few customers within a meter radius felt chill down their bones and unconsciously, they distance themselves away from the skull. The surrounding one meter radius was surprisingly clear even with the fact that this place was a market place with customers going and coming out of every store.

The old man\'s expression was still indifferent. It was like the old man couldn\'t feel the pressure. He is either an incredibly rare strong-willed mortal or an expert that has no need for Atman realm bones.

David squinted his eyes and gazed at the old man. He had heard stories about some experts who go to the mortal world to train their Wills and try to let go of their mortal stains, leaving them behind in the mortal world in order to ascend to True God Realm.

This story was quite far-fetched though and to believe them is to believe pigs can fly... The non-genetically mutated ones at least.

But David\'s intuition seem to be ringing rather vaguely. And he had felt off since he entered the market. Now that he thought about it. There were thousands of stores in this market, why would he come to this particular one?

David cleared his throat and his storage ring flashed. With a thud, an intact corpse landed on the table of the old man.

This wasn\'t surprising to the crowds within the market place. Bizzare things were being sold here and a corpse wasn\'t even on the list to begin with.

This time, the old man\'s expression changed slightly. He gazed at the corpse and touched its chest, proding around the body. The thing that shocked the old man the most in his fifty years of trading was the fact that the corpse was still breathing. But doesn\'t appear to be conscious.

"This is the corpse of an unimaginable expert. Young man, you cannot casually show such a thing here!" The old man looked around and clicked on a button below his table.

Instantly, the entire store was covered in a blue force field that hummed, isolating them from outside view and sounds.

David outstretched his hands and touched the force field. This was the first time seeing a Gadget that isolated sound and view together.

"Hmm, a Gadget with silencing attribute and obscure attribute. A hybrid gadget I see." David was slightly fascinated. The technology of this world truly does awe him sometimes. But sadly, things like these were not really useful at his level.

David turned to the old man who had brought out a device and was scanning something through it.

"Is it worth the necklace now?" David asked with a slight smile at the corner of his lips.

The old man put down the device. "Young man, this is too valuable, I can\'t accept it. You should take it back otherwise I might lose my life even if I manage to sell it."

David smiled at the old man. "Don\'t worry about it. Just give me the necklace. You can keep the corpse as your family heirloom. If you or your children reach the realm where you can use it, then it will be good advancement for you. Or find a technique that controls corpses. Like the T-virus serum for example."

The old man stayed silent, his lips pursed as his eyes glazed over, thinking of something.

David waited patiently for the old man to think. After a while, the old trader sighed. He sucked the corpse into his storage ring and packaged the necklace into a gift bag, giving it to David.

David smiled and then placed it within his little world. Waving at the old man, he turned around to leave.

"You won\'t be able to give it to her, not ever." These words were like the winds, faintly entering his ears and David was just able to make sense of it slightly.

His moving body came to a halt and his eyes contained a hint of sadness but then, his face blossomed into a beautiful smile as he tilted his head slightly towards the old man. "Then I guess you will have to help me since you owe me now."

The old man clicked on the same button, turning the forcefield off as David left. It was as though he hadn\'t said anything and as though he hadn\'t heard anything.

David didn\'t look back to check either. He continued strolling through the market, snow beating against his body, but if one looked closely, one would see that the snow melted and evaporate just a millimetre close to his skin.

After an hour, he walked into a fancy restaurant to have a meal.

It had been a long time since he ate a decent meal apart from consuming raw beast flesh and consuming humans, his special cocktail was also blood, and lots of it.

David scanned through the holographic menu and found a decent meal that doesn\'t include meat and blood, but was just fresh vegetables.

Clicking on the image, a message saying to be patient that his food is on its way replied him.

This restaurant seem quite popular amongst the locals, even though it was quite expensive to dine in here.

A few seconds later, a beautiful waitress a lakes past the other tables and brought food to David\'s table.

David was quite surprised to see a Phaser working here as a waitress. Wasn\'t she supposed to join an academy or something? But then, his surprise faded. The Hunter Family owned this part of the city, maybe the restaurant included. it shouldn\'t be too much of a surprise, really.

David didn\'t dwell too much on the thought and only focused on his food.
