I Just Want A Peaceful Life Chapter 163
Advertisement
Seeing through Jade from one glance, Angus and Jayna couldn't help but be surprised. Even Jane, Jade's daughter, was also surprised at their guest's strength.
All the people inside the tent could see that Angus and Jayna are still very young. Yet their clan head tells them that Angus could even fight third-grade combatants despite having a grade one mana core.
Furthermore, they couldn't even detect Angus's grade mana core if it is not from their clan head.
Looking at their surprised expression, "Hahaha… Don't be too surprised, you will become good at judging people when you lead a clan for more than a hundred years inside this land." said Jade happily while chucking down more drink.
"Haa.. I thought I could hide my strength, but it seems people like uncle could still see through it. Even His Majesty King Leon also managed to see through my strength from one glance." said Angus.
"Don't bother about it too much, my dear nephew. Hiding one strength is good, but sometimes it is also better to show some of your true strength." said Jade.
"Uncle is right. I still have much to learn." said Angus.
"Good, it seems my little brother nurtured you correctly not to tarnish our Victory name. Although it's been a long time since I mentioned this family name, I feel no regret that there is still such a young genius like you in the family." said Jade.
Hearing this, Angus couldn't help but remember how his father only gives him some harsh sparring rather than guidance.
Then, all of them were chatting about many things while having a feast. Along the time, People who called the elders of the clan also joined the feast and asked many things about Firuman.
Apparently, for the Sur clan, food is the last thing for their problem. The only thing they lack in this desert is water.
But, since most of the people here have strong fire affinity, they could withstand the heat from the enormous three suns in the sky without being dehydrated.
"Hahaha… I can't believe it. You two managed to get out of the monster and beast territory unscathed. It seems you have strong luck and fate." said Jade.
"Yeah, we are fortunate. I hope our friend also still survives." said Angus.
Hearing Angus, the Sur Clan Head unconsciously touches his old wound in his stomach.

"Hahaha… Don't worry about it, nephew. If they are strong and lucky enough, they may get some fortune and opportunity." said Jade.
During this time, Angus decides to look at his uncle's wound. The wound may already be ingrained in Jade's body, but he still wants to help his uncle by sheltering them and welcoming them with the feast.
Furthermore, Angus still feels a sense of familiarity with Jade.
"Uncle, Can I take a look at your old wound?" asked Angus out of nowhere.
"Huh.. What for?" asked Jade back.
"You may not know this, but I am quite familiar with miasma wounds." said Angus while not giving out the entire truth.
"Really?? Then, come here. See it for yourself." said Jade.
Angus immediately approaches Jade and looks closely at the black-skinned wound in Jade's lower right stomach. Inspecting the wound with [Mana Eye] without touching it, Angus knows the gist of the miasma wound.
"Uncle, I guess you got this wound from a long time ago, right?" asked Angus.
"Yes, if it is not because of this wound. I may already break through the seventh grade. But, it seems fate is not with me. Hahaha.." said Jade while laughing his way.
"I see.. Did you still remember what grade the monster left you with this wound?" asked Angus again.
"I am not too sure, but It should be around three or four grade monsters. Otherwise, I could not suppress this wound, and I will be dead already." said Jade.
"Hmm… It's possible." muttered Angus.
Looking at Angus's confident face, "Angus, could you do it?" asked Jayna.
"It's possible but will take time and a lot of pain." replied Angus.
"Hmm… What are you talking about?" asked Jade curiously.
Before answering, "Ermm… I think we need to speak privately first." while looking at the others.
Seeing Angus act, Jade notices that this is a very important matter.
"Alright, everyone. Please go out for a while. I want to talk to my nephew and Lady Jayna for a while." said Jade loudly to dismiss everyone.
Likewise, the others stop their feast and obey their clan head. Looking at this, Angus knows that his uncle is a great leader for all these people.
There are two reasons why people could obey someone without questioning their leader. First, they obey because of fear of the leader. The second one is they obey because they trust their leader and his judgment.

From the look of the other people inside the Sur Clan, Angus knows that they obey his uncle because of his leadership, not out of fear.
While everyone goes out, "Jane, you stay here. I think this is also important for you as the next clan head. Is that okay, nephew?" asked Jade.
"If it is only her. It's alright, uncle. I trust your judgment." replied Angus.
"Good. Now, what do you want to talk about?" asked Jade as everyone got out of the tent.
"Uncle Jade, I may heal your miasma wound." said Angus.
"You could do what?!!" said Jade.
"I may heal your miasma wound." said Angus.
"Really?? This is great. No.. wonderful news." said Jade.
"Yeah, however, it may take time and bring a lot of pain." said Angus.
"I see.. Nothing free in this world. But, a little pain is nothing if you could reach the legendary realm." said Jade with a hopeful eye.
Suddenly, Jane approaches Angus, "Can you really cure the miasma wound?" asked Jane.
"Yes and no." replied Angus.
"What do you mean?" asked Jane again.
"I have a potion that cures miasma wounds. However, the wound must not be longer than a week or two. As long as the wound is within one or two weeks, it could be cured."
"But, for an old miasma wound as uncle had. It needs a lot of factors to consider. Such as the wound degree, monster grade, location, and many others. It also needs extensive care from me to keep it for some time." explained Angus.
"That's amazing…" said Jane.
"Don't get your high hopes. I didn't say it will be successful since it is a very old wound. Moreover, I also don't know how long it will need my extensive care. It depends on the uncle's body itself. There is also a chance it will fail and kill uncle. " said Angus.
"Do it, nephew." said Jade resolutely.
"But, father.. " said Jane.
"It's okay, Jane. I have already lived for too long and experienced a lot of things. My only last wish is to reach the seventh-grade realm." said Jade.
"I see. Then, let me prepare something first before I do the medication. Also, please don't tell anybody about this matter. Even in the Heart Kingdom, this is a national secret with only a few people knowing about it." said Angus.
"Don't worry, nephew. We know how important this matter is." said Jade.
Then, Angus and Jayna excuse themself to rest in one of the empty tents. Since there is no night and day inside the Surya Desert, they could only rely on their watch to estimate the time.
Looking at the time, they know that now it is already night in the Heart Kingdom. Although Angus and Jayna didn't feel too tired, they still need to preserve their energy, especially inside this dangerous land.
Angus and Jayna found a teenage boy in the middle of the street along the way towards their tent. Abet, the guard leader, who is escorting Angus and Jayna, also notices the teenage boy.
"Neil, why are you here?" asked Abet.
"Hmph.. I am a genius. I could be wherever I want to be. Anyway, I already hear that they come from the Firuman. They must not know about this place well. So, why don't you hand them over to me to guide them." said Neil arrogantly.
Hearing this, Abet knows that Neil is plotting something, "Neil, they are the important guests of the clan head. Don't do anything harsh!!" said Abet.
"Shut up, old man. You are just a leader of the guard. Nothing else!!" said Neil.
Hearing this, Abet wants to rebuke the young master in front of him. However, Angus walked calmly at this moment while ignoring Neil. Everyone became curious about him.
Noticing the stare, "Huhh?? Why are all of you stopping?" asked Angus as he didn't notice Neil at all.
At this moment, only Jayna understands what Angus is thinking. It's like when they deal with Ian's annoying persistent challenge. They just need to ignore Neil.
"Err..." said Abet.
"Yeah, Angus is right. Please continue to show the way, master Abet." said Jayna while walking, following Angus.
Feeling totally ignored by Angus, Neil becomes angry and launches a punch towards him.
"How dare weaklings like you ignore me?" shouted Neil.
Before the punch reaches Angus, a hand catches the punch.
"That's enough!! Guard, bring young master Neil to his residence." command Abet.

Force Majeure: A web novel
In the Qursan Empire, the grey walls of the city press down on its subjects. It is a highly divided society which is based on the magical strength of its citizens. While the most powerful are trained as Mages, the majority of citizens use their limited skills with essence to power the city in their assigned jobs. Jano is pretty much the lowest of the low in the Qursan Empire. A Class Ten citizen forced into transitory work after having his power restricted. When he gets the opportunity to change all of that, he takes it with both hands. Please note this is an edited version of my story ‘city of captives’. It follows a similar structure but I’ve ironed out some of the kinks. If you read that version, much of this will be similar though there are some differences. This is a slow burning progression fantasy. Please expect at least two chapters per week. I love writing this story but I do have unfortunate things to deal with like work and life outside of writing. I may be able to write and edit more than that, but it will never be less! If you enjoy this, consider following me on Instagram by just searching Crow J Williams.
