Chapter 213 - 213 Playing the Life Stance
213 Playing the Life Stance
Inside the inner city of Home of Kindness.
On the west side was the only passage from the outer city to the inner city.
There was a five-story miniature castle with a thousand-square-meter courtyard. It was similar to the Western European villa in An Kai’s previous life. Coincidentally, the plan was also drawn by An Kai.
This was also one of the few houses that had not collapsed after experiencing the earthquake.
When An Kai arrived there, he felt like he was home.
With a light leap, he jumped over the three-meter-high wall and entered the courtyard.
“How did he manage to have the same things as me?”
In the courtyard, there were a few plants from the seven kingdoms’ royal families. Coincidentally, An Kai also had them.
His castle was planted with nearly a hundred square meters of rare plants obtained from the royal families of the seven kingdoms.
Due to An Kai, the inner city had just experienced an earthquake. But Hanks’ house did not change much.
Not only did he not feel any turbulence, but even the vegetation did not shake violently.
It was all thanks to Widow Wang.
Widow Wang was standing behind Hanks, who was fast asleep, in a gazebo in the courtyard.
She gently hit Hanks’ shoulder. There was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead that had just been wiped off.
Seeing that An Kai did not use the main entrance and climbed over the wall of her house, she did not have a good expression and rolled her eyes at An Kai.
“Hanks, how have you been?”
An Kai did not care about her, and his figure flashed as he arrived beside Hanks.
A slight panting sound accompanied by the smell of rotten wood assaulted his senses.
This made An Kai frown.
Widow Wang, who was massaging Hanks’ shoulders, patted Hanks’ shoulder lightly.
Hanks, who had his head lowered and was dozing off, finally realized that someone was beside him.
Hanks raised his head and stared at his muddy eyes. After about three seconds, he finally smiled.
“Ah. An Kai. * Cough cough * Milord is here!”
“We…A long time. * Cough cough * Long time no see, right?”
Hanks’ way of speaking made An Kai frown.
He patted Hanks on the shoulder. “Slow down,” he wanted to say. “Or you might die.”
However, seeing Hanks’ dying state, An Kai changed his words.
“Cough gently. Your body can’t take it.”
In other words, An Kai was worried that his words would become a prophecy. At that time, wouldn’t he be blackmailed to death by Widow Wang?
Hanks waved his hand hard and tried his best to give a ” I’m fine ” smile.
” Where do you get the middle-grade sorcerer’s stone?” An Kai asked directly.
Hearing this question, the old Hanks showed a hint of vigilance.
He thought to himself, could it be that the magic stone vein that he left for Widow Wang had been discovered?
Behind him, Widow Wang patted Hanks’ shoulder gently. Before Hanks could speak, Widow Wang took over and answered, “There are some middle-grade magic stones in the magic stone lode.”
An Kai nodded. This answer was within his expectations.
He did not ask where the Sorcerer’s Stone lode was.
He had dealt with Hanks for a lifetime and knew that Hanks would not tell him the location of the Sorcerer’s Stone vein even if he was taken to his grave.
Three years ago, An Kai had already confirmed it.
Hanks had a magic stone mine.
From the looks of it, the reason why Hanks did not continue to provide low-grade sorcerer’s stones was most likely due to the lack of low-grade sorcerer’s stones in the mine.
If it weren’t for the Home of Kindness, An Kai might have had to argue with Hanks about the magic stone vein.
After confirming the answer he wanted, An Kai did not delay at all. He turned around and prepared to leave.
He had just taken a few steps when he heard Hanks’ elderly voice. “After I leave, I hope you can still remember your promise.”
An Kai didn’t even turn his head. He waved his hand and leapt over the wall to leave.
Hanks heaved a sigh of relief.
Trembling, he held onto the armrest of the chair and slowly sat down.
Looking at the hot weather, Hanks muttered, “It’s so warm.”
Accompanied by the sunlight, he fell into a deep sleep.
Widow Wang didn’t move until Hanks fell asleep. She then went to Hanks’ side and pulled a chair over to lean against his head.
Looking at the sun, they fell asleep together.
They all said that desert people were cold-blooded and evil.
Little did they know that there were also ” anomalies ” like Hanks and Widow Wang in the desert.
.
He left the Hanks residence.
An Kai followed the street and walked out of the city.
However, after staying in Hanks’ house for a while, An Kai felt extremely frustrated.
He felt that there was a knot in his chest that he could not spit out.
Looking back at An Kai’s experience over the years, Hanks played a very important role.
In his humble days, in the Unnamed Town, Hanks taught him how to survive in the desert.
It was also Hanks who exchanged for the first low-grade sorcerer’s stone with him, which allowed An kai to start the path of spell advancement.
Later on, Hanks provided a lot of information, causing the resources of An Kai to snowball.
Now that he saw his old friend dying, it would be a lie to say that he was indifferent.
He was immortal and had an unlimited lifespan. An Kai had never paid much attention to the issue of longevity.
It was Hanks’ twilight state that suddenly pulled him back to reality.
Other people could not have unlimited lifespans like him, nor could they enjoy unlimited lifespans like An Kai. People would start leaving him.
“How annoying.”
An Kai muttered. He hated this feeling.
In order to prevent himself from feeling frustrated when Hanks left, An Kai decided to stick to his principles.
