Chapter 1386 Fabian and Malenna

Ning frowned at the sight of the young man bowing so deeply in front of him. This was why he didn't like interacting with the youths of his family.

They treated him like some godly figure instead of just a regular great uncle. They bowed and flattered him all the time.

Jasmine and Tim were both a couple of steps back from the young man Fabian, looking at him in shock. They could not imagine how someone had arrived out of nowhere.

And given the language the young man was speaking, they were certain that he wasn't from anywhere around here at all.

To their surprise, Ning was speaking the same language as well, something neither of them could understand.

"Don't bow to me," Ning said quickly. "Get up, and don't call me great uncle either. Call me... just sir. Sir is fine."

Ning produced a small ring out of nowhere and gave it to the young man who put it on as he stood up. Once he did, Ning looked to the other two.

"This is a relative of mine. He will take care of the children while we are gone," Ning told Jasmine and Tim.

The young man Fabian looked at Ning with a confused look. "Look after kids, gr— Sir?" he asked.

"Yes, there are about 8 children that live in this house. Your job is to look after them for a year," Ning said.

Fabian looked around the buildings, slowly nodding to himself as he did so. "Is this an actual home? Why is it so rundown?"

"You're in a different place from where you come from, Fabian. You shouldn't judge things by what you are used to," Ning said. Although, it was true that this place was quite rundown, even by this world's standard.

Jasmine ended up telling them everything, surprised as she hadn't even fully made the decision to leave with Ning and Tim, but it appeared that the decision had been made for her.

After a while, she talked to Ning. "I... I think I still have to go talk to my creditor and see if I can let him know that I'm not running away. I need to make sure the oath doesn't accidentally haunt me in the end."

Ning looked at the outside sky which was about 2 in the afternoon. "We have about 3 hours before we leave. Can we go talk to them now? If it's close, we should be able to go and come back in time to say goodbye to the kids in a while. I'm sure you will need to take some time since you'll be going away for a while."

"A year, right?" she asked.

"Depends on how I do," Ning said. "Shouldn't take more than a year, but can also be done in a matter of weeks if I'm lucky."

"And you still think I'll get my money? Just to remind you, I'm still nearly 53 bricks of gold away from paying back everything."

Ning nodded and sighed. "That was a stupid choice you made," he said. "I did it for the kids," Jasmine said with a small shrug.

"I understand," Ning said. "So, should we go? Do they live close by?"

"My creditor lives in the town over. We should be able to take a carriage or a car, and we can be there in about half an hour," she said. 'We should leave now."

Ning nodded and turned back at Tim who was talking to Fabian and Malenna, trying to figure out anything about them. Perhaps, he was even trying to see if they were real humans in the first place.

"Tim, you coming?" Ning asked. "We're going to the man with the chalice."

Tim's ears perked up at the words. "The chalice? Yes, I want to go."

"Great," Ning said and turned to Jasmine. "Let us leave."

They left the house and made their way to the other city.
