"Only that thing can save him," David muttered in a low voice, but loud enough so that the girl could hear his words clearly.
His face was filled with struggle as if he were in a great dilemma.
"Save him, please." Jasmine said in a hoarse voice while hiccupping.
"I can save him, but…" David did not finish his sentence but looked at her while hesitating.
"You know the dicine is expensive, and I only have one for ergencies."
After saying those words David didn't look at her directly, his face filled with guilt and sha.
"M-my grandfather is a rich man; he will pay you back, I promise."
Jasmine said those words with difficulty while moving towards David.
Even after hearing her words, David didn't look convinced and still had an unsure look on his face.
Suddenly, his expression brightened, and he looked at her and spoke.
"I can heal him, but before that you will have to sign this agreent to pay the money back in the future..."
Jasmine didn't even let him finish and interrupted him.
"Please do it fast."
David also didn't want to continue this drama for long and hurriedly complied. He flicked his wrist and handed her the spiritual agreent.
Jasmine hurriedly took the agreent from him and stamped it with her hands, without even bothering to read what was written in the agreent.
"Now quickly do it." Jasmine impatiently said.
David looked at this scene and tried his best to stop a smile from forming.
He bent down near the old man, and bought a tablet of painkillers from the bank's shop, and put it in the old man's mouth.
The tablet seed to have instantly lted after entering the old man's mouth and in the next second color started to return on his pale face.
"It worked." Jasmine cried out in a joyous voice.
She wasn't the only one who was happy, David was also on cloud nine.
He had no experience with the tablet before he just hoped that it would miraculously work like the coffee.
And thankfully it did, in three minutes, the old man's lips started to twitch and he finally opened his eyes.
"Grandfather, are you okay?" Jasmine looked at him and spoke with a teary voice.
"I am fine. Where did those bandits go?" Jasmine's grandfather looked around with worry, and when he saw David, he frowned.
"Who is this young man?" Jasmine's grandfather asked in a low voice, his gaze filled with uncertainty.
"He is the one who saved you." Jasmine, now happy, excitedly told him everything that happened.
After listening to the entire story, Jasmine's grandfather expresion turned dark for a mont but he expertly hid it and looked at David with a smiling face.
"Thank You, young man, for everything. If not for you, I might not have survived today." Jasmine's grandfather said with a grateful face.
Refraining from expressing the doubts that he had in heart, as to what was David doing here and the agreent that he made his granddaughter sign, because it was pointless, asking these questions would further worsen the situation.
In the next mont, Jasmine's grandfather expressed his desire to leave this place as early as possible.
David didn't stop and let them go, after all his goals had been achieved. He had no intention of entertaining them further.
But he had to make sure that the girl reached the city safely so at least she had the ti to grow properly.
However, Jasmine's grandfather was adamant and refused the help and insisted that he had his own ans to ensure their safety.
David sneered his heart at those words but didn't say anything else after that and let them go on their way.
David and Jason looked at the carriage covered with a depressing atmosphere slowly moving further away from the mountain pass.
At this ti Jason Tiger spoke, "Senior! How was my performance?"
"Excellent."
David praised Jason without reservation, the guy was really capable. He had to invest in him.
"This is your reward."
With these thoughts, he magnanimously threw a storage ring filled with 100,000 spirit stones in his direction; he had to reward his subordinates for their work.
He wasn't also worried about Jason's sudden breakthrough to the Foundation Building Realm, from what David could tell this guy still had a long way to go.
Jason caught the ring and hurriedly thanked David while bowing.
"Thank you, senior."
"Don't thank , it's what you deserve
Now tell when Foundation Building Realm cultivators appear… I have already wasted a lot of my precious ti," David said, shrugging his shoulders and asking about the important thing.
Just because of an unexpected windfall his priority couldn't change.
Ti continued to pass, and soon it was nightti. There was no sign of any Foundation Building Realm cultivators arriving any ti soon.
All the Tiger Gang mbers had gotten bored of waiting and were getting impatient.
"Senior, I think we should try again tomorrow. The Foundation Building Realm cultivators rarely travel during night ti." Jason voiced out his opinion from the sidelines, he wasn't really against waiting but he still had to consider the gang mbers mood.
David wordlessly nodded his head at Jason's words, making the crowd cheer inwardly.
After so words from Jason, they dispersed.
David was left alone, with nothing to do he also started to move towards the Lake.
*
Splash!
At this ti, a head suddenly poked out of the lake waters.
"Yeah, I was right, it is indeed a cave." Allen muttered with shining eyes.
It took him so long because the map was drawn for who knows how long ago.
The crossed-marked stones would have already disappeared in the passage of ti.
After searching for hours on the spot where shadow ended, he finally managed to find the cave at the bottom of the lake.
However, for Allen; he wasn't the only one who had found the cave, Sebastian who was currently standing far away broke out in a smile.
In the next mont, he disappeared and moved to the place where Mary and others were staying to invite them to jointly explore the cave together.
