Chapter 1262

(Unedited)



After the young woman told him about the story of Adam, Xin Ja felt a bit complicated. How could he accept such a background?

Him, married? How could such absurd things happen to him?

He immediately decided to leave as he did not want such a thing.

"Thank you for telling me such a story… But… I do not recall such an event, so I'm sorry…" Xin Ja stood up and was about to leave when the woman suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Wait… I know that what I'm saying is a bit… unreal. But there is something that you need to know…" she suddenly said as tears began to flow down her cheek.

Xin Ja was taken aback.

He did not know why the woman is suddenly crying.

He suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable and decided to listen.

"Come with me first…" she said as she stood up from her seat.

The two walked out of the library under the eyes of the onlookers and got inside a cab. The cab then drove to an address said by the woman.

When they alighted the cab, Xin Ja noticed that they are now at the edge of Ae city where there is a tall wall that he could already see.

The two enter a forest-like area that seems to be a park.

Janet Cole led him to sit on a park bench.

She looks at the green and grassy field where there are people playing and having a picnic. Life seems normal even though there is a threat of demons and monsters.

p Janet suddenly heaves a heavy sigh and then looks at Xin Ja.

"I… I know that you are not Adam…" she said as tears began to pour out of her eyes.

"I was there that night… I was there when he was killed by those… demons… monsters…" she suddenly bawled.

Xin Ja was a bit taken aback. He did not know why the woman is suddenly telling him such a story. He thought that she wanted him to remember his past, but now, what is this?

"In the library, I was just hoping that it was really Adam… But I know that it was all a dream… I really have lost him…" she cried while stuttering.

"A week ago, Adam called me… He wanted to meet… he wanted to tell me something that he discovered about his wife."

"I drove to the bar where he wanted to meet, but right before I was about to enter the bar, a small portal opened… I was scared, I was really shocked. I froze on the spot and could not move…"

"Ant-like creature suddenly appears, and began killing the people around me… when an ant saw me, it suddenly rushes towards me. I was so scared… I did not know what to do… And at that time, Adam suddenly appears and hugged me… He protected me…"

"And, before I knew it, he was already taken by those creatures… and… and… Huhuhu…"

Xin Ja knew that the woman saw her cousin die that day.

"I just wanted to think that it was all a dream… And that he is still alive…" she muttered with a lowered gaze.

Xin Ja just watches the woman in silence. He did not know what to do in this situation.

"I cannot do anything for him… But when I saw you, I thought that maybe I have another chance… I have a chance to correct the mistake done to him by the people around him…"

She wipes the tears on her face and then looks at Xin Ja with a strong determination.

"Please… Please act as my cousin for a while… Help me… Help me get back at those people. I think this would appease his soul. I think this would relieve me of my guilt… Please… Please, help me…" she begged.

Xin Ja did not know what to say. He found the woman a bit pitiful, but to be embroiled in such a family problem, is a bit troublesome. So he felt a bit reluctant.

"Tell me what you need? Do you need money? I have money… Do you need a job? I can give you one… Just tell me what you want and I will fulfill it to the best of my ability…"

Xin Ja was silent for a while, then looks at the woman. He suddenly discovered something that he did not see a while ago.

The woman is actually an awakened being. And judging from her strength he could tell that she is very strong. She might even be at the level of a Ki master or a D-rank awakened.

"Hmm… The woman might be able to provide me a chance to hunt outside the city… Maybe…" he began thinking.

He showed a faint smile on his face and then looks at the woman who is still wiping her tears.

"Alright, I can help you. But I have a condition… I wanted to go out of the city. Can you tell me how?" Xin Ja agreed and told her about his condition.

"You… are you a… an awakened?" she was suddenly surprised.

"Umm… Yes… I think I'm an F-rank…"

"Oh, well… This is better… This would be a great chance to recover my cousin's name and pride…" she muttered with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

"I can help you with that… I am an awakened too, D-rank. I belong to the Oasis league… But right now, the team I belong to is on a break, so I cannot take you outside. Hmm… Oh, right… Take this and go to the Union… Maybe they can give you a porter job… that is the only way an F-rank can go out of the city…"

She handed Xin Ja a small black card which has a logo of a palm tree on it.

"Since you have agreed to help me, then I will give you, your first task… Go home…" she said with a smile.

Xin Ja showed an awkward expression as he did not know where the house where Adam Summers live is.

"I want you to get the mementos of my cousin from that house… I don't want that woman's filth to stain my cousin's name further."

The condition she sets was fine, and with the help of the woman, he could now go out of the city to hunt for some demons.

But before that, as promised he has to help her with regard to her cousin first.

"Hmm… So from this day forth, I will be your cousin, Adam Summers…" Xin Ja said while still feeling a bit weird.

"Yes… Thank you… I will do all I can to help you with anything from this time forth." She said as she suddenly handed him an envelope full of banknotes.

"This is 50,000 Sumar, use it to buy some equipment if you truly decide to go outside. Even though you would only be a porter, having a weapon and a good armor would surely save your life…" she said.

The two then left the park and hailed a cab. She gives an address and the cab went into the maze of streets until they reached a part of the city with shabby houses.

"This is where Adam lives… I think right now his wife is at work… maybe you can get some of my cousin's stuff… or maybe just take all of them… That way, you can also learn something about him…" she then nodded her head as the cab went away.

Xin Ja heaves a deep sigh, as he shook his head while showing a faint smile on his face. He knew that if he wanted to stay in this place, he needed some connection. And that woman named Janet Cole is a way for him to blend in this world.

He has already decided to take over Adam's identity so learning more about the guy is not that hard.

As he walks towards an old apartment building, he soon arrives in front of one of them where the woman said the location is.

He looks at the building and felt that Adam is really living a sad life.

He enters the building and was suddenly greeted by a person who wears a strange uniform.

He saw this uniform when he was at the hospital and knew that this uniform is worn by people guarding the place.

The guard looks at Xin Ja weirdly as he seems to be unable to recognize the young man.

Xin Ja smiled at the guard and then walked toward the stairs.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

When the guard saw this, his expression became dumbfounded. Not many tenants in this apartment building would use the stairs.

Since there seems to be no one around, Xin Ja scaled the stairs really fast and soon arrive on the 6th floor.

He scanned the area and quickly retracted his absolute sense. This is because he saw something private happening inside the houses which made him blush and feels awkward.

He decided to just walk towards his target door and soon arrive at the apartment number that Janet told him.

"This is the correct room, right?" he muttered while looking at the door number.

The hallway looks gloomy, and the flickering light made everything feel eerie.

Xin Ja takes out the key given to him by Janet and inserted it into the knob. He then twisted the doorknob open.

As he opens the door, Xin Ja suddenly froze in a daze and his eyes went wide at what he saw.
