Chapter 1148 Father-Son Conversation



This would take them some time, which they could be using to go back, but Alex was actually thankful for this. Thanks to the extra time, he could talk with his father, without all the other headaches that would come with having to deal with the aftermath of this battle.

Even if he wouldn\'t have to do much, he would still have to explain them as much as he knew. So, this free time was very much appreciated.

Alex not only talked with his father, but he also treated them all at the same time.

"Are you really a doctor?" Graham asked.

"Yes, I am," Alex said as he took his father\'s hand. He placed his fingers on the wrist and checked his pulse. They felt fine on touch alone.

"How did you learn to be a doctor? Did you go through a course or something?" Graham asked.

"Uhh… something like that, yes," Alex said. He found it hard to explain that he simply learned a few books and was now very good at being a doctor. His father might not trust him to heal him if he told him to got to be a doctor without working as hard as others would.

"I knew you would make it big in life," Graham said. "A doctor. My son is a doctor."

Alex found it comical that after everything that had happened, his father focused on the fact that he was actually a doctor.

He sent a bit of Qi through his father\'s body and along with it his spiritual sense. "Hmm, there is quite a bit of the dust from the lead ore in your system," he said. "How long did you have to work here?"

"I don\'t know," Graham said. "They took me from the tribe I was in around 20 years ago."

Alex stopped and looked at his father. "You\'ve been here for 20 years?" he asked, rage building up in his eyes and voice.

"Yes," Graham said. "But you don\'t need to worry about that now. It\'s all over."

"Still…" Alex found it hard to quell his anger.

Graham looked at his son solemnly for a second and asked, "You killed so many people today. Do you… feel nothing?"

"No," Alex said. "It\'s hard to feel something about it when I\'ve had to kill to survive for a long time. To live in this world, having a kind heart usually gets you killed."

"I know," Graham said. "I\'ve had to kill a few too, but… I hoped at least you wouldn\'t have to. Sigh, I guess what is done is done."

Alex stopped checking on his father. "Your body needs to be treated properly. There is a lot of toxin building up in your system. If you don\'t do something about it, it will be harmful to you in the future," he said.

"Of course," Graham said. "I know that. That\'s why those bastards made me do it in the first place. Those cowards couldn\'t get in there themselves and made us do it. I was the strongest of them all, so I was the one forced the most by them as well."

Alex thought for a bit and asked, "how strong are you?"

"How?" Graham gave an inquisitive look. "How am I supposed to answer that? Is there a way to even quantify your strength?"

"Of course," Alex said. "You just compare it to your… cultivation base… of course."

His father didn\'t have cultivation, so of course he wouldn\'t know how strong his body was. He would only know that it was stronger than someone else.

"Well, let\'s test it then," Alex said. "Let\'s see if you\'re stronger than me or not."

He placed his left arm up and asked his father to hit it as hard as he could.

"Hard?" Graham was appalled by the suggestion. "You\'ve just had a very hard battle to go through. Of course, I\'m not hitting you."

"It\'s fine, just hit me," Alex said. "It might even help in the diagnosis of your condition."

Graham hesitated for a bit.

"Look, I\'m a cultivator. It\'s fine," Alex said. "Just hit me. Even if you hurt me, I can heal."

"Well…" Graham thought for a bit and sighed. "Fine."

Alex smiled and let his father hit him.

Graham didn\'t have much technique for his punch, but it still came at him very fast. Alex felt the strike land and was surprised at how strong his father was.

His hand was sent backward, nearly breaking at the elbow.

"Wow," He said as he shook his hand a bit as it healed. "That\'s not bad. That\'s… about Saint Core 3rd realm or 4th realm from what I can tell."

"Oh," Graham said. "Is that good?"

"Good? That\'s very good," Alex said. "Most people would go their entire life and their body would never be this good. Now, all you have to do is cultivate a bit and you\'ll be fine."

"O-okay," Graham said.

"Your body must have stopped you from feeling the effects of the toxin. Here, eat this and we can go check up on the rest of your people," Alex said as he handed his father a pill.

As Alex checked on the people, the father-son duo talked about various different things.

"I\'m happy that I finally found you," Graham said. "Now, if only we can find your mother too, our family can be reunited. I hope she\'s fine."

"Oh, I know where mother is," Alex said. "She\'s fine, don\'t worry."

"You do? Is she here?" Graham asked.

Alex shook his head. "She is in the Western Continent, far across the ocean. I found her 5 years or so after the game ended. I stayed with her for another 7 years before I was forced to leave."

"Oh," Graham said. "Is she fine?"

"Yes," Alex said. "I\'m sure she\'s doing fine. Although, it has been over 20 years since I last saw her as well."

"Oh… can we go meet her? Across the ocean?" Graham asked. "You can fly now, right? Can you take me there with you?"

Alex hesitated a bit. "I\'m not sure I can do that," he said. "The ocean is way too dangerous. This place around the lands isn\'t as dangerous, but the further you go, the stronger the beasts are there that roam the sea floor."

"It is impossible to go there unless you are very strong, or have a ship that can properly conceal itself from the beasts," Alex said. "I am not strong enough to do that myself at the moment. As for the boat… I\'ll ask around and see what they have. Hopefully, we can go back."

Graham nodded. "I can\'t wait to see her. I hope she hasn\'t thought of me as dead already," he said.

"Haha, don\'t worry, she wouldn\'t have," Alex said. "I\'m sure she knows both of us are alive. Speaking of alive, I met aunt as well."

"Huh? You met Liz?" Graham asked.

"Yes, she\'s in the Northern Continent," Alex said. "It\'s been 15 years since I\'ve seen her, but I\'m sure we can meet her again if we can go back to mother. Also, sister Hannah is apparently in the Eastern Continent, but I haven\'t met her, so I\'m not sure what\'s going on with her."

"We can go there after we meet with your mother and Liz," Graham said. "What about Rob?"

"No clue," Alex said. "I\'ll try and see if he\'s in this continent, but if not, we\'ll have to search the other continents."

"You\'ve been to so many continents, huh?" Graham said. "How many are even there?"

"Five, in total," Alex said. "We\'re in the southern one. There\'s one in east, west, and north, and a last one in the center of the map, kind of like this."

Alex made a simple map with his fire in front of him. "Don\'t look at the shapes, I\'m sure they are not accurate, but this is about right."

"I see," Graham said. "And… where are we right now?"

"Uhh… somewhere around here," Alex said as he pointed to the southeastern portion of the Southern Continent, around the waters where the Sunless lands were."

"So, we have to go here, here, and then… here, right?" Graham asked. "If we can, yes."

"Good," Graham said. "Let\'s go there as soon as we can."

Alex agreed as well. He would want nothing more than to meet with them all. "We will also have to go there," he said as he pointed at the Central continent.

"Why there?" Graham asked.

"I have a friend there," Alex said. "I lost him there more than 5 years ago, and I need to find a way to go in there to save him."

"Okay, then you should go there too," Graham said.

Alex nodded. He continued checking the rest of the slaves for toxins in their bodies and stopped after going through everyone.

It took some time, but in that time, he found at least 2 dozen people that were a step away from being at death\'s door.

There was some death aura building up in them already, so he got rid of it, and gave them some healing pills and an antidote pill.

He didn\'t have many antidote pills, so he was planning on mass-producing them once he got back to the mainland. After that, he could heal every single one of the people here.
