Chapter 332 Encounter

...…

Real World, Soaring Continent, Main Region

The Twin Dragon Plaza was one of the most famous places of the Capital City. There were a lot of foreign people who wanted to visit this place due to its stunning view. There were three major parts of the plaza that were worth visiting.

The first one was the pair giant statues of two dragons at the very center of the plaza. These two dragons were seemingly entangled with a very intense fight. According to the legend, this place was a battlefield where these two dragons battled for supremacy.

Engaged with a very intense fight, these dragons happened to fall at the same time and turned this place as their resting place. Due to that, the 'Force of Nature' on this place was quite dense. And because of that, this plaza also became one of the famous spots to train someone's Martial Arts.

The next spot was the historical Ancient Tablet. It was a giant tablet with a bunch of ancient text engraved on it. From what the researchers who majored in ancient texts had said, what was written on this giant tablet was the narration of the whole battle between the said dragons.

There were even some legends saying that whoever gained the insight hidden behind the ancient texts written on this tablet was going to inherit the powers of the two dragons.

Though, nobody was believing it now since countless years had already passed and no one was able to achieve such a feat. Even the so-called geniuses of each generation couldn't comprehend the said inheritance of these ancient texts.

Due to that, the legend of the so-called inheritance turned into an ancient rumor that was slowly being buried through the passage of time. And to prevent it from being forgotten, the government decided to turn this place as one of the famous tourist spots of the Soaring Continent.

The third and lost part of the plaza was not as historic as the previous two, but it was even more famous than them. And it was called the 'Love Fountain'.

It was just a large dancing fountain with no special meaning. But there was a 'legend' on this place saying that whoever made a 'love wish' on this fountain was going to find their long-life partner not long after.

It was just a baseless phenomenon made by some delusional individuals. But as the time went by, there were some people claiming that they found their 'Dao Companions' (Husband/Wife) after making a wish on this fountain.

Some people didn't believe it at first and treated it as some baseless rumors. But when more and more people started saying the same thing, those doubtful people had no choice but to believe it. After all, when rumors were being sung by everyone, those things tended to become the truth.

And due to that, a lot of people started to visit this place; especially those persons who were desperate to find their partners; and most of them were girls.

At the same time, some couples could also be found everywhere. Since this was a famous 'Love Fountain', why not bring your dating partner here and make a wish together? Due to that, this whole place was being surrounded by a romantic atmosphere.

...

Meanwhile, there was a certain young man sitting at the edge of the fountain. He looked so fashionable even if he was just wearing some 'casual' clothes. And together with the customized motorcycle beside him, it was pretty easy to tell that he was a rich young man.

,m He was sweeping his gaze at the whole place while throwing some single winks at the beautiful girls who were passing by.

And given that he was eye candy for them, those girls couldn't help but give him some sweet smile. There were even some girls who were throwing some flirtatious look at him; though, he was mostly ignoring them when he saw one.

But contrary to what he was showing on the outside, he was actually bored deep inside.

It was obvious that this young man was Arthur. And after he 'borrowed' the motorcycle from one of their family subordinates, he tried to look for a good place to hang out.

Given that, he went to this place since he knew that the Twin Dragon Plaza was one of the most famous tourist spots on the Capital City; he was going to try his luck on this place.

But opposite to what he was expecting, he immediately became bored after some time of 'displaying' himself here.

"Gold digger, gold digger. Another gold digger. That one is a gold digger too. And the same for that one too," muttered Arthur while sweeping his gaze at the whole place.

And after some time had passed, he suddenly became frustrated and said to himself. "What the heck!? Why out of the ten girls that are passing by, 7 of them are gold diggers, 1 is already taken while the other 2 were thinking that I am a pervert?"

"D*mn! Hanging out alone is no good. At least if Shin and Leonard are here, there are some decent girls introducing themselves to us."

After that, he released a helpless sigh before cursing himself. "And why the heck did I choose to go out during the day when all of the good places are only available during night?"

Then he took out a coin from his pocket before tossing it up in the air before catching it again. And out of boredom, he kept on tossing the coin while muttering to himself. "If this goes on, I think that my life is going to be even more boring than Shin's boring cycle of life."

And when he couldn't endure the boredom any longer, he decided to get out of this place and torture himself with the happy couples walking by. "I guess it is time to look for another place."

But the moment he jumped off from the edge of the fountain, someone suddenly bumped into him.

"Eh!"

"Ah!"

And due to the unexpected collision, the coin that Arthur was tossing earlier was sent flying towards the fountain.

"Oh sh*t! My lucky coin!" Arthur wanted to chase after the coin. But since he was too out of balance, he couldn't find the right footing to launch himself towards it.

Flop!

And just like that, Arthur's coin was mixed with the countless coins under the water of the fountain.

Arthur didn't know how to react to that as he was frozen in his place. He was even maintaining a grabbing posture in an odd way. After that, he suddenly turned his head to the side and wanted to scold whoever bumped into him.

"Are you blind or what? Don't you know how to look properly while walking?" – Is what he wanted to say but failed to do so. It was because of the stunning 'view' directed on his line of sight.

"Not too small and not too big either. They are in perfect size," muttered Arthur unconsciously.

On the ground, sat a girl that looked around his age. He couldn't see her face since she was currently wearing a bull cap on her head. And since she currently had her head lowered, the visor of her cap was preventing Arthur from seeing her face.

At the same time, the girl somehow managed to hear what Arthur had muttered. So, she immediately covered her chest with both of her arms and turned sideways. At the same time, she raised her head and looked at Arthur before throwing a vicious glare at him.

Realizing his mistake, Arthur suddenly scratched the back of his head before saying embarrassedly. "Sorry," while also flashing a meek smile.

And as he was saying those, he was also trying to examine the girl's face at the same time. Naturally, he already learned from his mistakes and thought to himself. 'Beautiful, fierce and hard to tame. Exactly my type.'

Strangely enough, the girl seemed to be able to read what was running inside his mind as she said. "Pervert!"

The smile that Arthur was wearing suddenly turned stiff the moment he heard that. But despite that being that case, he still needed to maintain his 'gentlemanly' attitude. Given that, he offered his free hand and said. "Are you hurt?"

Unfortunately, he failed to touch her hand as she stood up on her own. And right after getting back on her feet, she suddenly said. "I am sorry. But I have no plan of associating myself with perverted guys."

'I am taking back what I have said. She is not my type,' reaching this point, the corner of Arthur's mouth couldn't help but start twitching.

Being called a pervert once was still alright, but hearing it twice was not good for the ears. So, the moment he heard that, Arthur immediately had a change of attitude and said. "Hey! Even if you are a beauty, you don't have the right to call everyone a pervert randomly."

"And don't make me the bad guy here. You are the one that bumped into me first! And because of that, I lost my lucky coin"

Hearing that, the girl suddenly raised one of her brows before refuting. "If I stop looking at my chest then I may stop calling you a pervert."

Then she paused for a moment before picking up her handbag and taking some coins from it. After that, she turned back at Arthur and extended her hand while saying. "Here! To compensate your lost coin."

Arthur refused to take the coins that she was giving and crossed his arms in front of his chest. After that, he smirked at her and said. "Heh! Do I look like someone who is lacking in money?"

"Then why are you throwing a fuse for a single coin?" asked the girl almost immediately.

Arthur was stunned once again as he didn't know how to refute those words. And after a slight pause, he immediately said. "Se-sentimental value! Da-That coin is too important for me! It is given to me b-by a special person."

Hearing that, the woman couldn't help but giggle at his funny reaction. After that, she extended her other hand and took one of Arthur's hands to put the coins that she was offering. "Then start making some sentimental value with these coins."

And after a brief pause, she immediately added. "As for your 'sentimental coin', you can just make a wish on this fountain. Who knows? Maybe it can come true."

After saying those sarcastic words, she patted Arthur's shoulder and added. "So, I am going now, Mr. Pervert. I hope that we will not see each other again."

When she was done, she immediately started walking away from him.

On the other hand, it took some time for Arthur to recover himself. Then he turned his head at the direction where the girl went muttered. "Just you wait. If ever I see you again, I am going to make sure to teach you a lesson that you will not forget."

After that, he planned to throw coins in his hands towards the fountain. But he immediately rejected the idea. "Wait! That may be a good trade. My coin turned into many and I also managed to touch her hands."

"Yeah, I should keep these coins instead. Maybe there are lucky ones too."

After that, he put the coins inside his pocket before walking towards the customized motorcycle that he had borrowed. "Alright, time to move on to the next stop."
