Chapter 38: Pure Coincidence
Translator: Novel_Saga Editor: Novel_Saga
On the street, the heavy rain continued pouring down, wiping all traces of the battle… leaving only six corpses lying quietly. One of the corpses had its eyes wide open, staring furiously towards the skies, as though cursing the skies…
After taking a few detours, Jun Mo Xie finally made his way back to his residence.
Even as Jun Mo Xie strolled ahead, the rain continued falling without restraint. The blood on Jun Mo Xie’s face had already been washed by the rain, the only thing one would see was a few brownish stains. No one would have guessed that those stains were the blood of six highly skilled experts!
Besides, there was no way that Jun Mo Xie could have fought against those men with his current level of strength. After all, these were the blood of a Silver Xuan expert and five Ninth Xuan experts!
At the same moment that Jun Mo Xie stepped into the Jun Residence, just like a rocket streaking through the skies, a tall figure arrived at the corner where the six corpses could be seen lying on the ground.
Filled with surprise, the person rushed towards them, using a hand to comb through the six men, searching their bodies but his efforts were for nought. Straightening his body, the person’s face was extremely gloomy.
This man wore a peculiar looking mask, making it hard for one to remember his facial features. However, every move of his was done with supreme calmness and ease. With a golden glow, he flew up to a big tree located fifteen meters away from them. Standing on the tree, he looked around. A sense of effortlessness and ease could be seen in his actions.
A golden glow could be seen, the sign of a Gold Xuan expert!
His gaze was like lightning, inspecting the surroundings. Suddenly, he flew down from the tree and moved towards the six corpses. He circled the six bodies as he analysed it.
After which he moved towards one of the directions where the blood still could be seen flowing. However, his movement speed was far superior compared to that of the usual experts, his speed exceeding what experts could achieve when running!
That direction was none other than the direction that Jun Mo Xie had taken when he left this place!
This person was truly shrewd; amidst the heavy flow of rainwater, he had actually managed to pinpoint the right direction!
The man followed the traces and moved forward. After moving for a while, he suddenly stopped and let out a curse. Jun Mo Xie had actually led him around in circles through using detours! After following the traces left by Jun Mo Xie, the mysterious Gold Xuan expert found himself back at the same starting spot…
“Who was it? Who could it be? Having such a sublime thought process!” The man whispered to himself; he raised his head to the skies, his mind lost in thoughts.
Who was it who disrupted my plan?
Who was it that could have seized this opportunity with such precision?
Who could have seen through my plans?
Who was it that could read my mind?
The execution of this plan was something done at the spur of the moment, not even he himself could have predicted that this would happen. In addition, there was the sudden heavy rain! Considering these factors, the problem could not possibly have originated from his end. But then, where did it come from? Could it be…
The mysterious man painstakingly analysed, poring through every variable, going so far as to suspect everyone around him in his analysis…
This man’s thoughts have always been deep and profound; every factor must be within the palm of his hands before a decision was made. His obsession towards detail could be said to have reached the extreme!
Take what had happened today for example, even if he was beaten to his death, he would never suspect that there would be such a coincidence! As such, his mind was fixed from the very beginning.
The incident today must have been the work of someone or some organization, perhaps his own family was trying to sabotage his plans or perhaps someone with an enmity towards his family!
His thoughts sprouted out with this point of view as its base. It was only natural that all the possibilities in his mind were wrong, so much so that it could be said to be of hundreds and thousands of kilometres in difference!
This man could never have considered that what happened today was simply a coincidence! A very interesting coincidence!
If the Silver Xuan expert had not detected Jun Mo Xie’s presence, then Jun Mo Xie would never have chosen to incur the wrath of others while his strength had yet to bloom.
If the person the Silver Xuan expert had detected was not Jun Mo Xie but a commoner, then he would have been able to safely deliver the item back to the designated place.
If this person had arrived just a few moments earlier, there was no way Jun Mo Xie could have beaten the man with his current level of strength…
Everything that had happened was all a coincidence. Coincidences were the inevitable problem for all developments. The world could never follow the will of men!
Although Jun Mo Xie taking away the item that the man wanted was due to a coincidence, Jun Mo Xie did not even know what the item was, or what could it have been used for!
Jun Mo Xie deciding to go out for a walk was a coincidence itself. When he realized that the Mid-Autumn Festival of his previous life was approaching, he felt himself becoming nostalgic and homesick.
In this world, there was no one he could have a good chat with; there was also no place like the bars in his past life. It would also be inappropriate for him to become depressed at home, not to mention Jun Mo Xie was not one to let others see himself being submerged in such weak emotions. Thus, he went out, planning to drink away his sorrows.
Unexpectedly, a middle-aged man’s words caused him to lose the will to continue, the wine becoming less appealing and harder to stomach. After saying a few contemptuous words, he left the wine shop.
Still feeling down, Jun Mo Xie wandered through the streets, as though this act could bring some level of comfort for him.
It was then which the “coincidence” occurred!
After a series of coincidences, Jun Mo Xie ended up bumping into those men who had stolen the item from the Tang Family. Those few men who barely escaped, coincidentally also stopped for a while, allowing Jun Mo Xie to listen in on their conversations.
With his current level of strength, Jun Mo Xie had intended to simply forget about this incident. After all, the current Jun Mo Xie had no particular feelings for the Tang Family. If the Tang Family lost something, then so be it!
It had nothing to do with him, regardless of what it might be. Who could have known that those people would be able to notice Jun Mo Xie’s presence? This left Jun Mo Xie with no other choice; with consideration to the strength of these robbers, he was unable to run away.
With no other choices, Jun Mo Xie resorted to using his projectiles, depending on the cover from the heavy rain and fog, together with the prediction of how the man would react and had them killed in one swift moment!
Since those men were dead, there was no reason for Jun Mo Xie not to help himself and take the item from them. As such, the critical item that the mysterious person eagerly desired fell into the hands of Jun Mo Xie through a series of amazing coincidence.
None of these things seemed to be remarkable. Yet, when they all came together, these series of coincidences could cause anyone to jump in shock!
Gaining great benefits without knowing what was going on!
Ruining other people’s meticulous plans as he strolled around aimlessly!
For so many coincidences to have occurred, this was just like a divine intervention, even the Heavens decided to roll the ultimate dice, the heavy rain, to add to the fun. This could only be labelled as Heaven’s will, or perhaps the director of these “coincidences” could be called Heavens!
The mysterious man remained there and was just about to leave when he heard a roaring noise. The Tang Family’s house guards were charging over.
With a sigh, his body radiated a golden glow as he made his move. Six loud splats were heard, as the heads of the six corpses below exploded, their faces unrecognizable even by their parents! Brushing his sleeves, the man jumped into the rain and disappeared.
When the Tang Family’s men came over, all they saw was six corpses with blood and gore replacing their heads. As for the item that they needed to recover?
It was nowhere to be found…
Jun Mo Xie remained ignorant to the fact that he had somehow foiled the plan of his family’s greatest enemy. He even retrieved the precious item that the mysterious man desired.
Jun Mo Xie only felt aggrieved.
I had originally only wanted to enjoy the rainy atmosphere, reflect on the memories of my old world, immerse myself in this emotion of nostalgic loneliness.
Instead, I had to bump into a whole lot of rotten bastards, destroying my mood and feelings! Sigh, how depressing…
Not a single thing went right! First, I went to drink wine but bumped into a man who cannot differentiate between good and bad wine, claiming that such an inferior wine is a masterpiece.
How pitifully laughable!
And then, after that, I left to enjoy the rainy atmosphere instead, but then went ahead and bumped into a bunch of people trying to kill me…
What bad luck! Jun Mo Xie sighed as he raised his head to the skies. Patting the small parcel on his chest, he stepped into his residence.
