Chapter 241: Moon berry wine.

"So you're the one responsible for the death of one of my men huh? I was wondering when you would show up…" The muscular man said as soon as Haru approached him. Haru looked at him for a few moments and then over at Major Niu who was looking at the man with disbelief.

"Listen, If you're here for a fight then just pack your shit up and leave already before you get yourself hurt old man." Haru took a deep breath and sighed. The muscular man was also a nascent soul stage cultivator like Major Niu but his strength was in fact much greater than hers. But to Haru, he was just another cultivator. He didn't hold a candle to Lao or any of the cultivators that he had met in the soul tempering grounds.

"You little…" The muscular man said in disbelief. He couldn't believe that he was being spoken to in that way. But as soon as he began to speak he felt a chill down his spine. It was unlike anything that he had felt before.

He was a nascent soul stage cultivator and he had fought against many people stronger than him in his lifetime. But the feeling that he had felt when he began to speak was enough to shut his mouth instantly.

The muscular man then looked up to the very back of the room to see a young man with long blue hair and glowing green eyes staring at him. It looked as though he was looking into the eyes of death. He felt as though if he moved he would die at any moment.

"That's the… The dragon that I told you about." Major Niu whispered in his ear.

The muscular man took a deep breath and then eased up a little as he redirected his gaze back towards Haru.

"No, I didn't come here for a fight. I came here for the sake of China. Word of what happened has been relayed to the government and they are planning to issue a national state of emergency over the next few weeks.

We have known about the extraterrestrials living here for quite some time. It is an internationally guarded secret. Both the US and Russia also have extraterrestrials living in their countries because their governments have come to agreements with them. For information on technology, they are allowed to live peacefully.

But we didn't know about the information that has been shared here over the last couple of days.

So is it as the rumours say? Those extraterrestrials are in fact evil demons from a different world?" The muscular man asked. He seemed to understand the basics of what was going on but was in fact so out of the loop that Haru felt bad for him.

"If you really want to know then follow me. I will take you to my office so we can talk in private. I will try to let you understand just how little you know." Haru smiled and then began to walk towards the golden elevator.

Haru still had a lot to learn about the upper realms but he was at least a little bit confident that he could answer most of the questions that the muscular man and Major Niu had for him. But as he was about to step into the elevator with the muscular man someone rushed in front of him.

"Hi again," Ruella said as she stepped in before them.

"What are you doing? The elevator only goes to my office. There's nothing for you to do up there." Haru asked and then stated in confusion. He didn't know what she meant by boarding the elevator before them but she smiled before replying.

"I swore that I will protect you. No matter the threat. And from what I understand, you don't know these two people so well and they are both stronger than you. And I can even help answer questions." Ruella said and then waved her hand back and forth gesturing for them to get into the elevators.

The muscular man stopped dead in his tracks upon seeing Ruella. He couldn't even detect her presence as she appeared in front of them. It was as though she was the embodiment of the wind. She moved both silently and swiftly and he didn't know what to say.

He stared at her for a few moments and admired her beauty. Her skin looked soft and supple without a single blemish and her hair was long and straight but still had a natural volume to it as though she had woken up looking like that. But what stood out to him the most was the sight of two pointed ears that poked out from underneath her hair.

"It's rude to stare at a lady's ears you know?" Ruella stated bluntly as she noticed his gaze. She had a look on her face that said "If you look at me again I will rip your head from your shoulders and force you to eat your own heart." And the muscular man seemed to get the message.

He looked away and down at the ground before she could say anything else. He didn't know who the woman was but he did know that she wasn't someone he could offend.

Ruella quickly changed her attitude as she smiled at Haru and looked at him with admiration.

"Shall we go then?" She asked in a cheery voice.

"Okay, If you insist then I won't stop you from coming," Haru spoke as if he had a say in the matter. But the reality of it was that even if he didn't want her to come with him there was nothing he could do to stop her. She had come from the upper realms and her real cultivation was far beyond what he could even imagine.

She had restricted her cultivation so she could live on earth but that didn't change the experience and knowledge she had. She probably knew techniques that could kill someone from miles away and that alone was enough to make Haru not want to question her intentions even if she was being friendly.

"Come on then, let's head up," Haru said to both Major Niu and the muscular man before they both got into the elevator and went up to the third floor where the office that Haru had met Han in was.

It was now his office and this would be the first time that he was seeing it since the first day he had come here. But as he entered everything remained the same. Han had left everything for Haru including the alcohol that was stored underneath the table.

Haru walked to the other side of the desk and sat down before asking them both to sit. Ruella on the other hand sat on the edge of the desk facing Haru and at an angle with her back to the two guests on the other side. She crossed her arms and stayed quiet while Haru spoke.

Out of courtesy he pressed the button on the desk and brought out the glasses and alcohol within. He pulled out four glasses and placed them on the desk before popping the cap off the bottle of wine that was inside.

But just before he started to pour it. Ruella grabbed his hand.

"No, don't drink that." She said with a serious expression on her face.

Haru then remembered that Han was the only person who knew that he was going to the Leung family's house that night and the only person who could have betrayed him. It wasn't too much to expect him to poison the alcohol in the office too.

Ruella smiled slightly before taking the bottle out of Haru's hand.

A flash of white light shot out from her hand before a large jade bottle appeared in her hand as she took it out of her storage ring.

"This is moon berry wine. It's a delicacy from my homeland and is made of true Qi spirit fruit. There's no point in drinking that pathetic earth alcohol if it won't even get you drunk." She said softly and then pulled the glasses closer to her before pouring everyone a glass.

"Thank you. I didn't expect you to have this kind of stuff with you. I heard that alcohol was expensive in the upper realms." Haru said to her before passing the two glasses to the other side of the table.

"It is. That's why I taught myself how to make it." Ruella smiled before taking a sip from her glass. She sighed after gulping down a mouthful and then looked back at Haru as he took a sip for himself.

"Thank you, ma'am," The muscular man said upon receiving the glass. Major Niu looked at him with confusion but she too thanked Ruella for the drink before Haru started to explain what was going on.

The drank and drank throughout the night until Haru was slurring his words. He wasn't a big drinker in his past life so this was really the first time he was feeling the effects of alcohol although it was hundreds of times stronger since this was a drink made specifically for cultivators. If a regular person drank it they would probably die as soon as it entered their stomach.

"So what about the dragon? I didn't think dragons existed." The muscular man said through slurred words. with his cheeks glowing red.

"The easiest way to explain mythical creatures to you is probably the stories that have been passed down through generations of humans here on earth. All the creatures you know as myths exist in the upper realms.

The stories originate from the first humans that came to earth and then passed it down to their descendants. And the stories of demons that your religions follow are in fact derived from the same demon clan that is coming to attack us." Ruella explained in Haru's stead as he couldn't stop hiccuping.

They shared information until the early hours of the morning until they decided it was enough. Haru was completely wasted. He struggled to stand on his own and Ruella had to help him into the bedroom that was connected to the office. She lay him down on the bed and as soon as his head touched the pillow he fell asleep. There was nothing he could do about it.
