Chapter 152


"Thank you very much, Mrs . Lluvia . " I smiled gratefully after receiving a cup of coffee .

"Don't worry about it, it's the least I can do for you . " Mrs . Lluvia said and sat across me holding a cup of coffee on her hands . "Besides, it's not every day that you are here, so I must try to be a good host now . "

I grinned and took a sip of coffee .

After leaving the gang, I did not return to the institute immediately . Instead, I decided to pay a visit to Lluvia's house . It had been a while since the last time I came, so it was being time to come again .

It was already dawn, but Mrs . Lluvia was probably already awake . Mrs . Lluvia was a very hardworking woman, so she woke up early each morning and went to sleep late at night .

And as I expected, Mrs . Lluvia was awake when I arrived .

Mrs . Lluvia was very understanding . She did not ask why I arrived at dawn or where I was the past week . Instead, she received me amiably and even offered me a cup of coffee .

Afterward, we started to converse about different topics . Mrs . Lluvia talked about the recent happenings in the capital while I heard her . I tried to use this opportunity to rest and relax my body . I just faced a god after all, so my body was still a bit tense .

"I have to say, Clark, I kinda admire you . You are so young but you are already independent . Moreover, you look like a very hardworking young man . Nowadays, very few young men are so hardworking as you . "

"You are flattering me, Mrs . Lluvia . I was forced by the circumstances . If I was not forced to abandon my home, I probably would be partying everyday as most young nobles . "

"It's not flattery . I'm not ignorant enough as to don't know that even if you are a genius, you need to work very hard to attain your cultivation at your age . I heard that the captain of the imperial guards is only in the eighth layer . You are much younger than him, but your strength has already reached to the seventh layer, just one layer below . "

"I was lucky . " I smiled modestly, to which Mrs . Lluvia rolled her eyes . "I wish I was so lucky as you then . Sigh, compared to you, the men of this house… Sigh . "

"Did something happen?"

Lluvia hesitated briefly before sighing and deciding to talk about it . "You know my son is working as a guard in a town nearby, right? Apparently, he got in a huge gambling debt there . "

"Gambling debt?"

Lluvia nodded in disappointment . "Like father, like son . Both of them are the same . "

I could only smile wryly . Mrs . Lluvia always fights her husband due to his gambling addiction, but now, she learned that her son is the same as his father .

"Clarice is devastated . She has not left her room in two days . "

I nodded . "Sorry about that . "

"Why? It's not your fault . Actually, I have to thank you . The money you are giving us for the room has helped our situation greatly . "


I smiled . "I'm glad then . "



We continued conversing and Mrs . Lluvia offered to prepare me breakfast . I had to go to classes later, so I accepted her offer gladly .

While she was cooking, someone knocked on the door .

Mrs . Lluvia looked at the door and sighed . She then walked towards it with a complicated expression .

Two men were waiting outside the door . One of them was her drunk husband, and the other was a serious-looking young man carrying him .

"Good morning, Mrs . Lluvia . " The man holding her husband greeted her politely .


Lluvia furrowed her brows . "What are you doing here?"

"It's not the first time I come, Mrs . Lluvia . You know already the reason . "

Lluvia's face turned dark . "How much?" She asked .

"700 gold coins . "

Lluvia's expression changed . "Are you robbing me!?" She growled angrily . "700 hundred gold coins is too much!"

The man remained inexpressive . "Your husband was the one that gambled and lost . Now he has to pay . "



"I'm not going to pay all that money!"

The man frowned . "We never lost our money, Mrs . Lluvia . If your husband owes us, then he must pay! With gold or with blood!"

All the blood drained of Lluvia's face . The meaning behind the man's words was clear . If they don't pay, Peter will die!

Lluvia was pale . Regardless of his many defects, Peter was her husband . She could not let him die like that .

Lluvia bit her lips . "… Please give me a few days to reunite the money . "

The man frowned . He looked at the drunk Peter and threw him on the ground . Peter did not wake up despite it . He probably was too drunk to feel anything .

"One week . " The man said coldly . "If you don't have the money one week later, face the consequences!"

Lluvia nodded with a frightened expression . The man saw it and nodded . He then kicked Peter away and sneered before leaving .

"Remember, Mrs . Lluvia . Seven days . "

Lluvia just bit her lips and fell silent .

When the man was gone, I sighed and walked towards her .



"Are you alright?"

Lluvia forced a smile . "… Sorry, I showed you something unsightly . "

I shook my head . "Every family has its troubles . I'm nobody to judge yours . "

Lluvia smiled bitterly . She then looked at her husband before shooting me an apologetic gaze . "Clark, can you help me to carry Peter to my room . "

I sighed and nodded reluctantly . Of course, I did not carry him . Instead, I lifted him by his neck and dragged him until the room .

Lluvia wanted to say something, but she shook her head after remembering the huge debt they had now . She even felt a bit refreshed seeing her husband being treated like that .

It was obvious she was very dissatisfied with her husband .
