"Thief! Thief!" Shouted by an overweight middle age man while chasing a boy frantically, "Catch that brat, he stole a loaf of bread!”


    <div>


    The boy ran like the situation was a normal routine for him. He continued to flee by entering various streets while slowly outrunning his pursuers. When he was about to lose the guards, a tall old man suddenly appeared in front of him. With his momentum, he had no way to avoid the person, so his body bumped the man, which made him fall on the ground on his back.


    <div>


    All the guards caught up in the chase including the fat middle aged man. While panting, the man shouted “You dirty brat, We finally caught you! Arrest him! Thieves must suffer even if they are kids!”


    The guards glanced at each other then nodded. They proceeded to arrest the boy, but suddenly the old man stepped in front of the boy blocking the path of the guards.


    "Hohoho.. Please excuse this old man for interfering, but I know this young lad. I will pay for the thing he stole." He waved his hand, then a soul ore flew out on the direction of the furious merchant.


    Staring at the piece of soul ore he got, the side of his lips slightly raised and said "This soul ore might be more than enough to pay for the bread, but is it enough to pay for the crimes of that brat?"


    "Oh. I''m sorry. How low of me to offer a piece of soul ore for a bail in such a crime. You are right, I think a piece of soul ore is not enough" By waving his hand once more, a pill flew out from the old man''s hand landing directly into the palm of the merchant.


    <div>


    "I cant believe this old guy is so rich! I hit the jackpot! Hahaha!" While talking in his mind, he glanced at the kid then left without saying a word. The two guards were left speechless and clueless on what to do.


    <div>


    Then the young young boy suddenly shouted. "My name Ming Li, I am grateful for what you did, but I will ensure to repay you someday!"


    <div>


    ....


    A while later, near the outskirts of the town, an old man was walking while glancing at the surroundings while enjoying the fresh air.


    <div>


    After he said those words, a boy slowly came out from the back of the tree. The boy was none other than Ming Li who continuously followed the old man for several kilometers.


    <div>


    "kid you can pay the debt when you are more capable, there''s no need to rush things. I can see hatred and rage in your eyes but you are honest. So I believe you will pay what you owe. You can go now and take care of more important matters." The old man said while laughing.


    "No! I may be a thief, but I will pay you as fast as possible. I will follow you weather you like it or not. You don''t need to mind me." Ming Li replied while giving the old man a cold stare.


    "Suit yourself young one. Hoho. this old man will head to the next town."
