Chapter 44 Never Give Up


    Queen Kane said solemnly, "Don''t ask questions that you shouldn''t. He doesn''t want others to know;


    that''s why he never talks about it."


    Jennie bowed and said, "Yes!"


    "Let''s see what hecks and give him whatever he wants. Try your best to make friends with him and


    don''t offend him!" Queen Kane said seriously.


    "I understand. I''ll do it now!"


    As was sent back to Lanceham by Beckett. Beckett specially transferred the money to As'' Violet


    Gold Card which was customized without a fixed deposit limit.


    With a splutter of apologies from Beckett along the way, As returned to Avondale Road.


    As soon as he arrived at the gate of the quarters, an old man in a long robe with disheveled hair


    suddenly rushed out from the corner.


    It was Zander Scott, whom As saved that night.


    "Master, I finally found you!" Zander eximed.


    As was a little surprised. Thest time he saw Zander, although he was in danger, he looked like a


    sage with a neat hairstyle.


    However, now he actually looked like a beggar.


    "How did you find this ce?" As was somewhat curious.


    Zander looked up at the sky and put on a pondering look. He said excitedly, "Master, this is the will of


    heaven that made me meet you again. It''s the will of heaven that made you ept me as your


    disciple!"


    As rolled his eyes at him. Suddenly, he approached to stare at Zander''s. His eyes were sparkling like


    the sun, the moon, and the stars were swimming in there.


    As'' voice was ethereal and hollow, as ifing from beyond. "The will of heaven is nothing. I


    defeated it once!"


    The Eight Phases of Cultivation, one phase, one tribtion. Every time he ascended to the next phase,


    he would fight against the heavens.


    In his previous life, As was at the Immortal Emperor Phase. After seven heavenly tribtions, it was


    equivalent to him defeating the heaven seven times!


    Zander was startled by As and sat down on the ground. However, the old crook still had some skills


    and soon woke up from the illusion in As'' eyes.


    "Haha, Master, you must be joking. The power of heaven is mighty. How can a mortalpete with it?


    Don''t scare me!" Zander smiled awkwardly.


    "What if I want to go against heaven? Are you still willing to be my disciple?" As said coldly with a


    serious face.


    "Fight with... the heavens?" Zander felt a chill down his spine.


    What a joke! Although he was old, he had not lived enough!


    Zander wanted to run away, but he was not reconciled. He searched all over the country for decades.


    Finally, he found As. He could not give up just like that!


    "If I can really fight against the heavens once, then even if I die, it will be worth it!" Zander thought to


    himself.


    Having made up his mind, Zander said seriously, "I spent half of my life looking for you. It''s been


    decades. God pitied me and finally let me meet you! Even if I have to defy heaven, I will never retreat!"


    "Master, please ept me!"


    As was a little surprised. He did not expect Zander was yearning for cultivation so much.


    "Answer me first. How did you find out about this ce?" As was very curious about it.


    Zander said with an embarrassed smile, "Master, I found you ording to the address of the


    supermarket printed on the stic bag you bought that day!"


    "I''ve racked my brain to look for you!" As he spoke, Zander began to show off his misery and burst into


    tears.


    As actually admired the old liar''s perseverance.


    "That''s enough. Stop whining like a baby, old man. "


    Zander immediately stopped crying and smiled, "Master, do you agree to ept me?"


    As said, "I never ept disciples easily, and not anyone could be my disciple. You''d better give up!"


    After that, As was ready to leave.


    "Wait, master, as long as you are willing to ept me, I will tell you a big secret!"


    As stopped, turned his head and said, "Stop trying to fool me. Give up!"


    "Master, look at what this is!" Zander suddenly took out an iron piece, ck colored with a tint of red. It


    was as big as a child''s palm with extremely smooth edge. Obviously, it had been carried by someone


    for many years.


    As suddenly realized that it was not an iron piece but a scale, containing a breath of dragon.


    "Where did you get this?" As stared at Zander and asked seriously.


    "Master, it seems that you really know this thing! If you are willing to ept me as your disciple, I will


    tell you! Otherwise, I won''t tell you anything even if you kill me!"


    Zander raised his neck, as if he was ready to die.


    However, no matter how As looked at him, he felt he looked like a rascal.


    "You are really not qualified to be my disciple. But I can ept you as an honorary disciple first and will

    consider officially epting youter if you perform well in the future." As said.


    "Just an honorary disciple?" Zander was a little dissatisfied.


    "Forget it if you don''t want to." After saying that, As left. Although he was very interested in the origin


    of the scale in Zander''s hand, when he returned to the Gold Core Phase, he could go find the owner of


    the scale himself when he was able to travel around the world in a day.


    "Master, wait, I am willing! It''s better than being rejected!" Zander said.


    "This scale was actually left behind by my old master. He found the owner of the scale and died there."


    Zander recalled.


    As asked, "Where is that ce?"


    "Draca Lake in the Double Head Mountain, Hugyeon Town!"


    "The northernmost part in Ridges." As said.


    "Yes, when my master found it, it was already 65 feet long. Now more than ten years have passed, and


    that beast must be even more difficult to deal with!" Hatred shed across Zander''s face.


    As simply said, "A hundred feet makes a dragon. This evil creature was 65 feet long over a decade


    ago. It seems that it is not far from bing a true dragon!"


    Zander asked, "Master, can you kill it?"


    As pondered for a moment and said, "Not now!"


    "Okay!"


    As looked at Zander and said, "Since you are already my honorary disciple,e and find me in


    three days!"


    Zander was overjoyed. "Thank you, master!"


    "Don''t tell anyone about me, or I''ll destroy both your body and soul!" As'' voice was cold as if it came


    from the deepest hell.


    Zander trembled with fear and quickly bowed, "Master, don''t worry. I understand!"


    "Go ahead."


    "I''ll take my leave!" Zander stepped back and left.


    When As returned home, Viviana was sitting on the sofa looking at her mobile phone. Giorgio and


    Francis should be seeing patients in the clinic.


    Seeing As, Viviana asked, "Did Beckett make things difficult for you?"


    "He doesn''t have the guts." As said lightly and walked to the bedroom.


    Viviana wanted to have a chat with As to improve their rtionship, but when she saw As'' arrogant


    attitude, she was furious.


    Moreover, As did not give her a chance at all. Seemed like he didn''t even bother to talk to her.


    Viviana was so angry that she grabbed the pillow on the sofa and threw it at the bedroom door.


    Her chest heaved violently, and her beautiful face was full of anger.


    In the past, As had tried his best to please her, but Viviana had always been dismissive. Now, it


    reversed.


    However, when she thought of Beckett''s respectful attitude to As, she had to suppress her anger.


    "As, I must find out your secrets!"
