Mo Ming's words were somewhat cold, causing Brother Long to shiver involuntarily. Today seemed to be a day of misfortune; not only had he offended a young man with perverse strength, but he also didn't understand who this person was that could make Yang the Boss say he wouldn't charge Brother Long any more money.
"I know what to do now, Lao Zhang. Your debt is cleared from today onward; I won't trouble you again," Brother Long quickly nodded. He tried to stand up but the pain made him give up. With a bitter smile, he shouted at his subordinates, "Damn it, can you all get up and help me leave?"
The group of subordinates on the ground immediately found their strength and hurried over to Brother Long's side to help him up. One of the younger ones wanted to make a good impression and asked, "Long... Brother Long, are you okay?"
"Are you blind? If I was fine, I wouldn't need you to help me up! Use your brain for once!" Brother Long cursed loudly. If it weren't for the pain all over his body, he would have slapped that subordinate a few times. He glanced at the cold-faced Mo Ming and felt a pang of fear in his heart, quickly forcing a smile as he said, "Hehe, I'll take my people and leave right away..."
After saying that, Brother Long's expression darkened as he scolded his subordinates, "A bunch of useless fools! Hurry up and help me get out of here!" The group of subordinates immediately helped Brother Long leave with their heads down.
The shop boss was bewildered. What on earth had happened? The originally fierce Brother Long had suddenly turned gentle like a cat, which left him puzzled. Most importantly, his brother's debt no longer needed to be repaid—over three hundred thousand was not a small amount!
Although he didn't understand the backgrounds of Mo Ming and the young man, the shop boss knew that this situation had been resolved thanks to their help. He looked at the young man with gratitude in his eyes and walked over to shake his hand tightly, almost moved to tears as he said, "Young man, thank you so much! I really don't know how to repay you; should I kneel down?"
As he spoke, the shop boss actually intended to kneel down, but the young man immediately stopped him. "Please don't do that. Helping others in need is a virtue we cherish in Huaxia. Besides, Boss, you're a good person; good things will come back to you. See? Good fortune has arrived today."
"You are also a good person! Why don't you and your friend come into my shop? I'll prepare a delicious meal for you as a token of my gratitude," the shop boss said with newfound appreciation for the world filled with good people. He looked at Mo Ming with gratitude and added, "Young man, please come in and sit down; I want to treat you well."
"Hehe, I'm happy to accept your invitation for food. I see your shop has great reviews; your cooking must be top-notch. I won't hold back!" The young man smiled slightly at Mo Ming and said, "Shura, do you mind joining me for a meal?"
"I couldn't ask for anything more," Mo Ming replied with a slight smile. He was very curious about the young man's identity and wouldn't miss this opportunity to learn more about him. Besides, having another friend like him would be a good thing.
"Great! You two hurry inside; I'll personally cook something delicious for you," the shop boss eagerly nodded.
The young man shook his head and said, "You all go ahead; I'm not in a hurry. I want to wait here for someone."
"Waiting for your girlfriend?" Mo Ming laughed.
"No, I should say wife." The young man looked ahead and said, "Here she comes."
"Yumi!"
A voice like a silver bell rang out.
Following the sound, Mo Ming saw a woman with a devilish figure and an angelic face gracefully walking over. Upon seeing her, Mo Ming was taken aback and thought, "Her steps are as light as a startled swan; she has a bit of the Lightness Skill flavor. This woman is also quite skilled!"
The woman approached the young man, wrapped her delicate hand around his waist, and complained, "Didn't I tell you to wait for me? Why did you come here first?"
"Hehe, I ran into some trouble and came to help out. What's there to be afraid of? You know where I go anyway," the young man chuckled and said, "Alright, let me introduce you. This is Asura."
Hearing this, the woman looked Mo Ming up and down, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Not bad, not bad. You have some foundation; the Grim Reaper's apprentice is indeed impressive. Yumi, look at your apprentice—always wandering around; now no one knows where he is."
"Uh, don't worry about that kid. Life or death is up to him; we’ll just enjoy ourselves," the young man shook his head helplessly and looked at Mo Ming. "I have some connections with your master, so just call me Big Brother, and she will be Sister-in-law. Is that alright?"
Since the other party clearly didn't want to reveal their name but was a friend of his master's, Mo Ming lowered his guard. Given the other person's strength, there was no need for any tricks. Mo Ming naturally didn't think the young man was deceiving him; he was indeed older and calling him Big Brother was not a loss.
"There's nothing difficult about that. Since you're a friend of my master, it's only right for me to call you Big Brother," Mo Ming smiled slightly and said, "Big Brother, Sister-in-law, why don't we go inside and chat? I'm a bit hungry."
"Sure, let's go in and eat."
The young man nodded and then led his wife inside. Mo Ming and Night Peak followed behind. Once inside, the shop owner fussed around in the kitchen for a while before quickly bringing out seven dishes. Each one was a home-cooked meal but tasted excellent. No wonder there were so many customers; what people outside longed for most was indeed home-cooked food.
"Shura... never mind, I'll call you Mo Ming, that feels more friendly." The young man smiled slightly and said, "I've heard about you from the Grim Reaper. You're quite impressive; even when misunderstood by those above, you still remember your patriotic heart. I have high hopes for you."
"Uh, big brother, it seems you have a good relationship with my master, but why have I never heard him mention you? I've met almost all of my master's friends, but this is the first time I've met you."
Mo Ming felt somewhat puzzled. The events from his past were confidential and not something he could easily share with others. As a soldier, adhering to military discipline was paramount; even family members were not exempt. Yet the Grim Reaper had told him about it, indicating that the young man's relationship with the Grim Reaper was quite extraordinary.
"Haha, that's natural. If the Grim Reaper dared to speak nonsense, I'd give him a beating. Alright, kid, don't even think about digging into my background—no way!" The young man laughed heartily and said, "Today is just a chance encounter. Aren't you supposed to be busy? Finish your meal and hurry to catch your flight."
"Uh, you know I'm going to handle something!?" Mo Ming forced a smile and said, "Big brother, my master can't tell you about this. You can either investigate or..." He paused and shook his head. "Don't tell me you can read minds!"
"Hehe, why would I investigate you? You're not exactly a stunning beauty..." The young man sensed the anger from his woman beside him and awkwardly smiled. "Wife, don't be mad; I was just saying that in my eyes, you're the only stunning beauty."
The woman huffed and pinched the young man hard. "Hmph! Stop trying to play tricks on me!"
"Wronged! Absolutely wronged! Everything I said is true!" The young man raised his hands in surrender, lacking any of the composure one would expect from a master. He turned to Mo Ming and said, "I can't read minds, but I can roughly guess what you're up to. First, you've come to the airport; second, your companion isn't ordinary. I don't believe Shura would bring a bodyguard just to eat—it's not your style."
After finishing his sentence, the young man cheerfully took a few bites of his meal while watching Mo Ming's astonished expression. "Don't be so surprised; just eat your vegetables. Some things you'll know when it's time for you to know them. Overthinking now is pointless."
"Alright then."
Mo Ming responded helplessly; he was indeed hungry and decided not to ask further questions. He ate without reservation while Night Peak remained very understanding and didn't say anything unnecessary. By the time Mo Ming started eating, Night Peak had already finished.
After eating his fill, Mo Ming checked the time and realized it was almost boarding time. He intended to bid farewell to the young man when the young man spoke first.
"Mo Ming, since we've met by chance today, I can give you one piece of advice that I hope will help you. Listen carefully." The young man smiled slightly and said, "Existence itself is reason; some things are meant to be and are not falsehoods. Your opponent is not simple; I hope you can find your opportunity."
"Well, although I don't quite understand what you mean, big brother, I remember that no matter how powerful the opponent is, I will crush them under my feet!" Mo Ming nodded and said, "Big brother, I have to catch a flight, so I won't say much. I hope you and Sister-in-law enjoy your time here. We will meet again if fate allows."
"Alright, you go ahead," the young man smiled.
Mo Ming didn't say much more and headed to the airport with Night Peak.
Once Mo Ming had walked far away, the young man's woman smiled slightly and said, "Yumi, why did you say that strange thing to him? If I didn't know some things, I wouldn't understand your cryptic words at all. Why not just tell him directly?"
"The Buddha says not to speak, not to speak; let him understand everything on his own," the young man replied lightly with a smile. "He's a good person; I believe he will gradually understand what I'm saying. We don't need to worry about it. Come on, let's explore this place before we head to the next stop!"
After leaving the young man, Night Peak finally spoke up: "Mo Ming, who exactly is that person? His strength is truly formidable. Although Brother Long and his group are not much of a threat, the power that young man displayed was enough to make me feel intimidated."
"Yeah, I feel the same way. I don't know who he is, but he's definitely not an enemy; such enemies are too terrifying!" Mo Ming said with a bitter smile and shook his head. "Also, what exactly did he mean by that statement? I can't quite figure it out at the moment."
"Hehe, it's good that you can't figure it out. If it were that easy to understand, he wouldn't have said he hopes you find your opportunity," Night Peak said. "Let's get on the plane; boarding time is here."
Mo Ming nodded, temporarily setting aside the young man's words as he passed through the ticketing area with Night Peak and boarded the plane.
