chapter 3 Half of you and half of me

by Harrison 17:56,Dec 29,2023


"Third Senior Brother, don't you want to write it? I often hear from the people of Fulton City that the Heiress of the Cyrus family is as talented and beautiful as a fairy. She is a peerless beauty that is hard to find in a lifetime. If you can win her favor, you will definitely make everyone look at you differently!"

"I've written it."Zachary West folded the rice paper angrily and stuffed it into the wooden box on the table. It is said that the Heiress of the Cyrus family will personally review the article and reply to every young master who participated in the event.

"So fast?"Walter Peck was a little surprised at Zachary West's writing efficiency. He finished it in less than three minutes? The ghost-drawing talisman is not as fast as him. Is it possible to hand in a blank paper...

"There's no need to rush Walter, you can write slowly."Zachary West originally planned to leave as soon as possible to avoid Celtic Laurier finding out, but the other party was already engrossed in the recruitment activities, immersed in thinking about the article, and didn't pay attention to them sitting huddled in the corner of the hotel.

To be honest, Zachary West had no hope at all for such a recruitment activity. It was just like the market recruitment in his memory. A group of school interns with no actual results submitted their resumes to large companies, and the recruitment rate was less than one thousandth.

But coming back to it, is the Heiress of the Cyrus family really so attractive? The whole restaurant was so crowded that there was almost no room to stretch out.

Moreover, the waiter said that Crescent Restaurant is one of the many venues for activities. Today , the Heiress of the Cyrus family has almost all the inns, teahouses, restaurants, restaurants and other public places in Fulton City.

Time passed by in a hurry, and it was past noon before they knew it. Zachary West and Walter Peck returned to Shujian Villa along the road...

Walter Peck thought he had written a good article, and he was beaming with joy on the way, as if he had won the favor of a beautiful woman.

"Walter, wait for me."

"Third Senior Brother, why do you go in and put down half a mountain peach every time you pass by the ruined temple at the city gate?"Walter Peck couldn't understand why Zachary West had a grudge against the landowner in the ruined temple. Place the half-eaten peaches on the altar.

"Guess."Zachary West smiled with relief, his deep eyes concealing indescribable emotions, like joy, melancholy, sadness...

Times change and things change, and what is lost can never be recovered.

The stars are scattered in the night sky, and the breeze is carefree in the valley. Zachary West lay alone on the ancient tree on the cliff, looking up at the vast sky calmly.

There is a confidant in the sea, and there is no one close to him in the world. Is there anyone in this world who can understand him and listen to what he has to say?

"Half of you, half of me. We share wealth and adversity."Zachary West jumped down from the tree and placed half a mountain peach under the ancient vine: "We have no chance to continue in this life, but we will still be brothers in the next life."

The evening breeze is depressed and lonely, and the moonlight is gloomy and sad.

He was the only one who never tired of it, always listening to him silently telling magical stories one after another when he was in the most confusion, believing in him, supporting him, encouraging him...

"Third Senior Brother? Third Senior Brother, are you here? Senior Brother, you are indeed here. Master is looking for you everywhere. Come back to the Villa with me!"

Wesley Peck suddenly came to find him. He knew Zachary West very well. Every time he came back from Fulton City, Zachary West liked to come to the ancient cliff tree to relax...

At night, in the deserted suburbs outside the city, bursts of rustling suddenly came out, and thirty masked men in black followed them like shadows, like bats at night, flying through the jungle at lightning speed.

Within a moment, dozens of masked men came to the ruined temple at the south gate of Fujing City, and surrounded a woman in red gauze with murderous intent...

"Kikuyo, obediently hand over the Phoenix Order. We can avoid you today."

"It's not Kikuyo, it's the leader." The woman in red smiled, her otherworldly beauty looked like a heavenly and jade-colored Autumn Moon fairy under the faint starlight, which immediately made all the masked men stunned and stunned.

"Don't be fooled by this witch!"

"Yes! As long as we catch her, all the brothers will get what they want and enjoy my teaching, Protector Kikuyo, to serve her!"

"Everyone come together!"

Thirty men in black recovered from their shock, and all of them unfurled their weapons. They stood in formation step by step, surrounding the woman in red three levels inside and three levels outside.

"Hehehe, there is a way to heaven but you don't take it. There is no way to hell but you just come to it. What a sin."

The woman was enjoying herself leisurely, completely ignoring the man in black. She even took out a fresh mountain peach from her sleeve and chewed it with relish.

The leading man in black was deeply angry when he saw this, and immediately ordered his subordinates to attack in groups.

Six men in black approached Kikuyo in the blink of an eye, the flash of swords and shadows imminent. However, just as the sharp edge was about to cut through the woman's icy skin, something strange happened...

The three men in black suddenly reversed their attack, raised their knives and beheaded their companions. Three heads fell to the ground, and the bloody scene was horrifying.

However, something even more despairing was yet to come. Before the people in black could figure out the situation, miserable wailings sounded one after another.

"What are you doing!"

"I can't control myself!"

"Ah! Leader you..."

"Don't come near me! Go away! Go away!"

A melee broke out, with the roar of gold and spears, and flesh and blood flying everywhere...

Thirty men in black suddenly killed each other. Even the leading man in black went crazy and brandished the sharp knife in his hand to kill his companions.

However, in this life-and-death battlefield, the woman in red is like an outsider. She hangs her head high as it has nothing to do with her, and opens her red lips lightly to taste the fruit.

In less than a stick of incense, all thirty men in black were dead and injured, leaving only the man in black at the head clinging to life.

"Master, please forgive me, please forgive me. I don't dare to do it anymore. I will become your most loyal subordinate and will never betray you!" The man in black held a sharp sword and trembled in a suicidal posture. Blood overflowed from his neck, and he was confused. He looked at the woman in front of him.

"Haha, if you don't seek death, you won't die." The woman in red had crooked eyes and a smile, with an expression like a cunning vixen.

Before the man in black understood the meaning of the girl's words, he felt his breath suffocate and passed away with pain and unwillingness.

When the last enemy fell, a figure appeared silently in the darkness of the wall: "Congratulations to the leader for clearing the door. Your Pure Yin Silk Winding Technique has become more and more sophisticated."

"It's not a portal, it's trash."Kikuyo looked coldly at the corpse at her feet. It was really sad and ridiculous that only thirty first-class masters dared to come to her for trouble.

"Reporting to the leader, in three days it will be the birthday of the Merchant Soames of the Great Shang Dynasty. The right protector Ilithya has followed your instructions and sneaked into Fulton City first. At that time, we can join forces with the Ghost Poppy Palace, Heavenly Leader Sect, etc. to give the gift to that person. A generous gift from a group of sanctimonious and well-known people!"

"The body was buried."

Kikuyo spoke carelessly, not sure if she heard the words of the visitor. Then she saw a wisp of gauze fluttering, and the girl disappeared into the night sky.

Lingding dropped the half-eaten fruit to the ground.

Half for you, half for me. We share wealth and adversity. You are my hope in despair, the light in the dark night. I really want to listen to the stories you tell again...

But, the little beggar back then, the devil today, am I still qualified to sit next to you? Can you still accept me as you did before?

The bright moon quietly leaves, the rising sun rises in the east, the bright sunshine covers the mountains, and a new day arrives as scheduled.

Sword Manor was bathed in the soft morning light, and the disciples in the village naturally came to the square to practice martial arts. In this dynasty era where cold weapons are the mainstay, fists are the only truth.

Zachary West didn't like to practice martial arts when he was a child because the memory in his mind told him that kung fu was a thing of the past. Flying over eaves and walls was just hanging on wires. No Martial Arts World master could stop the rain of bullets, airplanes and cannons.

However, as time went by, Zachary West discovered a big problem: airplanes did not exist at all, and Martial Arts World masters were the most powerful. So today, like everyone else, he stood in the square and practiced sword practice...

"Third Senior Brother, it's been two days, why hasn't Miss Cyrus replied to our letter?"

"The number of young masters participating in the marriage search ranges from one thousand to eight hundred. It takes several days just to read the article. How can I receive a reply so quickly?"

"Third Senior Brother is right. In fact, I have no hope at all in participating in the marriage recruitment..."

"Look at it more clearly, Miss Cyrus is the daughter of an official family, not a warrior like us who can reach such a high level."

Zachary West didn't want to hurt Walter Peck, so he had to tell him in a tactful way. It would be a tragedy if he didn't receive a reply.

"It's Merchant Soames birthday the day after tomorrow. Master suggested that I accompany him to celebrate his birthday. Will you go?"

"Go! Second Senior Sister is going, how can I not go!"

"I heard from Master that Merchant Soames from a Martial Arts World family. He was not only a wealthy businessman in Fulton City, but also a great philanthropist. He often helped poor people, and his popularity spread all over the world. For this birthday party, he invited Martial Arts World families from all over the world, and the scene must be very lively. "

"It's a pity that my mother is away on escort and won't be back in time for the birthday banquet."

Sword Manor has its own escort agencies, hunting shops, and ironware shops in nearby big cities and towns, which are used to make money to maintain the daily expenses and operations of the entire Villa.

"Third Senior Brother, something seems wrong."

"What's wrong? My mother won't be back until next weekend at the earliest."

"That's not what I'm referring to. Didn't you notice that there are a lot of people missing from the martial arts training ground?"

"Hey. Where are they?"

Zachary West Xingyun looked around in confusion. Why did everyone disperse before the morning exercise was over? If Master and uncles saw it, they would definitely be furious.

"Senior Brother Mo, stop practicing and go to the main entrance quickly..."

"What to do?"

"You will know if you go. If you don't go, you will definitely regret it."

"What did you say? A beautiful woman is visiting the villa."

"This is the first time in my life that I have met such a beautiful girl!"

"Where is it! Take me to see it quickly."

"Front entrance. Come with me!"

The beautiful girl visited Sword Manor, and the news was spread among ten and hundreds of people. In a blink of an eye, all the disciples of the Villa received the news.

When the young people in their prime of life heard that a beautiful girl was visiting, they put down their work without saying a word and rushed to the main entrance to see the beauty.

Zachary West and Walter Peck naturally followed the crowd and hurried to the main entrance of the villa, wondering what kind of beauty could shock all the male disciples of the villa to "welcome".
