Chapter 670: Chapter 65: Sour, Sweet and Delicious!
The moonlight was clear, and the wind blew gently.
Everyone in Cherry City looked up at the quiet night sky.
It seed they were still searching for the missing “Witch’s House,” as if only by maintaining such an action could they soothe the turbulent emotions within their hearts.
After a good ten seconds or so, the silence was broken by soone’s footsteps.
It was like a stone thrown into a lake, rippling outward.
Everyone snapped back to reality.
...
The “Mystical Side” folks left with complex emotions, fading into the shadows.
Ordinary people either stayed where they were talking softly, or turned to go ho. And so clever ones set their sights on those extraordinary-looking “Mystical Side” characters.
A week ago, the Ground Reconnaissance Bureau’s confession had already let ordinary people know that, apart from the world they were familiar with, there existed another world.
They were curious and frightened of that unfamiliar world.
Curious about its unknowns.
And fearful of its unknowns, too.
Of course, there was also… Strength!
Everyone craved to be extraordinary.
As children, everyone thinks they are born extraordinary.
As adults, everyone is forced to admit they are just ordinary.
What would you do if an opportunity to beco extraordinary appeared?
So still prefer to be ordinary, their edges worn smooth by reality long ago.
But so?
They grab at the chance.
They have not yet compromised.
As for the result?
Most end up with a sad story.
A few are envied.
But this is none of Jason’s concern.
At the “Witch’s farewell,” he had beco the center of attention in the courtyard.
Brian, McCaul looked at Jason with the eyes of soone who had been through it all, especially McCaul with his beer mug, who even gave Jason a thumbs up. ℞𝐚₦ȱΒΕs
Jennifer, McCaul had seen her.
She might look a bit hysterical, but he felt she fit surprisingly well at Jason’s side, a matching aura feeling to her. With that feeling, McCaul thought Jennifer was a good girl.
In John’s eyes, a flash of envy was quickly replaced by deep reminiscence; he stood in a corner, petting Daisy’s head in silence. Only when Daisy licked him did the brooding man respond, whispering words that seed ant to comfort Daisy as much as she comforted him.
Telly and Kemi, the two little girls, were different.
"Humph!”
"I knew it!”
"Vixen!”
Telly grumbled and then turned her head, pulling at Kemi’s hand, whispering words of comfort.
"Kemi, don’t worry!”
"All vixens end up as nothing more than scarves, gloves, and hats!”
"Victory will be ours!”
After saying this, Telly gestured a ‘fighting’ sign to her best friend.
Kemi chuckled and shook her head.
"I’m not worried.”
"Although it’s a little uncomfortable, I think… this is normal.”
"Normal?”
"What’s normal about that?”
Telly was puzzled by Kemi’s words.
"Jason’s excellence will attract other ladies; that’s normal!”
"And I?”
"Should beco even better, surpassing the other ladies!”
Kemi explained with a smile.
Faced with such an explanation, Telly instinctively wanted to refute it, but after thinking it over, it seed to make sense. Yet upon further reflection, she felt sothing was odd.
In the end, Telly fell into thoughtful silence.
Until—
Thud!
Delbon, seated in the farthest corner, slumped off his wooden chair and knelt down right there.
"Delbon, what happened?”
Telly asked.
After Delbon promised to return 4,993 out of the 5,000 owed, and with interest calculated according to Cherry City bank’s standards of that day, Telly magnanimously chose to forgive him.
"It’s nothing, I just drank too much and my legs are weak,” mumbled Delbon, holding an orange juice.
At this mont, the gaze of this “Clock Tower” resident of the Ground Reconnaissance Bureau towards Jason was no longer just one of simple respect; it was filled with intense adoration.
To have had a child with the “Witch” so quickly?!
It was really too… enviable!
Sure, the “Witch” was crazy, but she was also a good-looking woman with powerful abilities, right?
With the latter, the forr could be tolerated, couldn’t it?
Especially for soone like Delbon who could only “alleviate loneliness” through books, it was deeply envious to the point of being sour.
As for the “Witch” deceiving people?
That was impossible!
Delbon would never have doubted that.
Everyone agreed the “Witch” was crazy, but the crazy “Witch” had sothing everyone was forced to admit: she kept her promises and was honest.
Contradictory, isn’t it?
The person known as “Witch” was always considered to be honest and to keep her promises.
Maybe it’s because… she’s mad?
But regardless, after such a “point” was made, Delbon grew even more envious.
At that mont, a hint of impulsiveness rose in Delbon’s heart.
He wanted to beco Jason’s apprentice, to learn “the correct techniques for communicating with ladies!”
Thus, he wouldn’t be a lonely man anymore, could have a happy and fulfilling family, and could apply what he learned from John, Brian, and McCaul about the “Way of a Dostic Man.”
Thinking this, Delbon beca excited.
But quickly, Delbon cooled down.
He, after all, had a teacher.
He deeply respected his teacher.
