Our bored gar re-entered the village of Ascot and he was followed by the eyes of both awe and terror at the sa ti.
The strong n who were years ahead of him and were much bigger in comparison stood like ek sheep before him.
Perhaps the only man who dared open his mouth at this ti was the Chief of Ascot Village.
"What happened to you, Han Sen?" Chief Yao Chen asked and it was obvious that he respected the strength that our bored gar showed just now.
He did not doubt one bit that this seemingly weak looking young man could do the sa thing that he did unto the n of Hankala against all the n of Ascot Village combined.
Even Chief Yao had not seen anything like this before in his life.
He had seen a mad man in grief go on a rampage in the fields but more often than not, this would ultimately end in the death of this particular warrior. But not this boy Han Sen.
He killed with such efficiency that one could even call his way of slaughter as a supre art itself. This was exactly what they all witnessed a few minutes earlier.
"I have t a hidden master, Chief Yao."
"This person taught skills and..." Clark turned around and replied to the leader of this village.
This much courtesy he could offer especially with how this good chief was one of the few kind souls who helped them much when Han Sen and his sister had practically nothing to eat.
A pair of orphaned babies can't feed themselves at all.
"..." Our bored gar did not have to finish his words since he knew that the chief and everyone else got his ssage loud and clear.
There was no need to enurate his lies to the masses around him. In the end, Clark left and only silence accompanied his unhurried steps.

One week passed and the life of the siblings changed for the better.
"Yum! This at tastes so good, brother!"
"You cook so well than ever before!" Han Chai praised while she was busy stuffing her mouth with the delicious food that our bored gar prepared himself.
Cooking mortal food was quite an elentary task for our very own protagonist.
It was not even a brag to say that he would be the best master chef in this world amongst the mortal ranks in existence.
Cooking was a good exercise to show his affection to his family and loved ones on rare and special occasions.
"Don't talk when your mouth is full, Chai'er. Eat." Clark gently scolded his sister but he could not help but smile while looking at the innocent face of Han Chai.
The two finished their breakfast after 30 minutes of enjoyable company. It did not need telling that Han Chai continued to bubble with positivity and much talk in the duration.
Kids can be stubborn in that way sotis.
"I'm gonna be gone for at most an hour, Chai'er." Clark said to his sister.
"Okay, brother. Can I also play in Aunt Fu's house?" Han Chai asked and her eyes twinkled in a cute way. She wanted to play with Aunt Fu's children this early in the morning.
"Just rember to not make any troubles there, Chai'er."
"Don't give Aunt Fu any headaches." Our bored gar replied.
"Okay, brother! Chai'er will always be a good girl. I promise!" Han Chai replied and both of the siblings went their own ways.

"Good morning, Master Han Sen!"
"Good morning, Master Han Sen!"
"Good morning, Master Han Sen!"

Clark was drowned by the extre respect and adoration of all the people in the village along the way.
He tried to correct them once but the title of master beca a precursor to his na in this world. In the end, our bored gar just accepted everyone's new treatnt of him.
Thus, his status has truly risen after just one night alone. A few minutes of walk and Clark has already arrived at his destination.
It was a wooden house just like the majority in the village but different from the rest, this house was a whole lot bigger than the usual hos in the scene.
In fact, this abode was probably the biggest of them all. It was obvious that the owner of this house was a very capable man indeed.
"I need to talk to Chief Yao." Clark said to one of the n in the place.
These were the most trusted guards of the chief and they had practically grown up in the care and guidance of Yao Chen.
"Good morning, Master Han Sen!"
"I will deliver your words to the chief at once." The man replied and basically ran thereafter. He did not want to let our bored gar wait at all.
"Please co inside, Master Han Sen!" The rest of the n left behind tried their hardest to entertain our very own protagonist.
Before long, Clark saw Chief Yao and then he said his intention in the next mont.
"Are you really sure of your decision, Han Sen?" Chief Yao asked for the umpteenth ti.
He was possibly the only one in the village who still called our good gar with no rubbish honorifics whatsoever. Clark admired this veteran leader for that.
"I am, Chief Yao. I must do this." Clark replied and he remained vague in his reasons. He could of course not tell that he was out to conquer this world in the next years to follow.
"I see. Then I could only bid you a safe journey ahead, Han Sen."
"The nearest city from here would take 12 long hours of nonstop walking."
"But if you bring along Han Chai with you, it could only take much longer than that." Chief Yao inford with obvious worry on his face.
It would have been better if Han Sen would leave his sister in this village but he knew that that would never happen at all.
Yao Chen was witness to how much Han Sen has dearly loved his only remaining family in this world.
"I know, Chief Yao. Thank you for everything."
Clark said and expressed his gratitude towards this good man who was perhaps the greatest reason why Han Sen and Han Chai had survived over the years.
