Chapter 87
Facing such a close-up provocation from Sui Xiong, anger flashed up in the guard’s eyes . But he
immediately oppressed it .
If a “pet” is able to display such transformation magic, then its owner is not an easy
character to deal with . As a man serving in the country of the shaman, this handsome guard of course
had certain judging eyes . Therefore, he immediately gave up his original intention . He didn’t show his
outrage and use power, but instead he showed a smiling face and hospitably invited Sui Xiong and the
others in . He even arranged an exclusive room for them, bringing up wine and good food like water
flowing .
This transformation was indeed like switching from arrogance to deference . Behind this was a face of a
vile person .
But they must admit that there was indeed a reason why the hotel waiter called this restaurant “the
best restaurant in the Green Tree city” . Although the portion of the dishes and wine were not much,
their tastes were not like any other normal cuisines . They were both exquisite and special . There were
all kinds of styles here . It was indeed a luxurious class– — -of course, the price was also luxuriously high
relatively .
Luckily, Sui Xiong’s group had money . They didn’t care about the price .
“Ha, indeed Buddha needs gold and human needs clothes . Only a set of clothes could immediately
change the way people treat you!” Sui Xiong ate happily, laughed out loud then
said, “Still, having money is very good! Wearing glamorous clothes, eating delicate dishes– — no need to
worry about the expensive price, eating as much as I want . Not to mention the attitude of that bastard
earlier, the taste of this delicious food is enhanced somehow!”
Lei wasn’t as comfortable as Sui Xiong . He didn’t eat so much and he looked out of the
window sometimes as if looking for something .
“Lei, today, you don’t look so good . Why aren’t you eating much?” Sui Xiong pointed to Stelle
who was eating elegantly, yet very quickly, “You see, you even eat less than Stelle . . . “
Lei sighed . “I am afraid that if I eat too much, it won’t be convenient for fighting later on!”
“What? Fight?”
While he hadn’t finished his words yet, a magic light suddenly rose up, covering the entire room .
Following the magic light, the air inside the room seemed to condense as well . After that, the room’s
door was opened and the handsome guard led four robust men with fierce faces in .
“Didn’t I tell you what kind this place was?! But you dare to come here to make a fuss!” The guard
harrumphed coldly, “Beat them for me! Go a bit lightly on the couple . Cut off the legs of this lummox
then continue saying!”
Several brawny men were about to come over . Sui Xiong, who should have been tied up and unable to
move, suddenly spoke up .
“The value of this magic formation is not low . One activation might be equivalent to an
advanced magic trick, right?”
Those men were stunned, standing bewildered, not knowing what to do-
— -after many years, they had met many people coming here to make a fuss, but seeing
the one who could talk while being tied up was the first time .
Conversely, the handsome guard reacted very quickly . He didn’t say anything further, but turned
Advertisement
around and ran away . When he ran only half a step, he was bound by a tentacle coming from behind,
and was pulled back .
In the meantime, the brawny men were also tied up by each tentacle . They looked like a bunch of
pigs waiting to be butchered, piling up on the ground .
The five fingers on the left hand changed into five tentacles tying up the guard and four brawny men . Sui
Xiong coldly laughed then used his right hand to flick . The formation covering the entire room suddenly
let out a sound of glass being crushed, then disappeared without any trace .
“All right, let’s have a sincere conversation . ” When he swung his hand up, a tentacle reached out and
closed the door . Then, very quickly, he changed back to his jellyfish shape .
It was that the one appearing in front of the guard and a bunch of hired thugs was not a small
jellyfish disguised as a hat, but a huge jellyfish that could swallow up a person alive .
“Your restaurant really meets my standard!” Sui Xiong said, “Wine and foods are delicious . I am very
satisfied . The magic formation is not bad . I am very satisfied with it too . I am only not satisfied with the
entertaining program after eating– — people usually invite beautiful women to come dance . What do
you drag a bunch of brawny men here for?”
“In reality, brawny men dancing is not bad . ” Stelle said .
Sui Xiong used his tentacle to grab a meat block and stuff it into her mouth .
“So, let’s have a talk then . ” Sui Xiong turned his head, speaking to the group of five embarrassed and
scared men of the restaurant, “Although we have had a little misunderstanding, using an advanced
magic formation for just a little misunderstanding doesn’t seem right, does it? I find this matter very
strange and not very reasonable! Can you give me a reasonable explanation?”
After speaking, he casually used his tentacle to grab a big beast bone which was as big as an arm,
bringing it to his mouth, then biting off and chewing it up like eating a bunch of biscuits .
This scene was scary to the point that the limbs of those hired thugs shook crazily . If it wasn’t for the
moral backbone in them, urine might have flowed out of them . Luckily, the handsome guard was a
little bit braver than the rest . Despite being scared to death, he had the guts to answer, “Dare to
have guts to make a fuss in my restaurant . We of course have to fiercely fight back hard . Don’t mind the
big price, we have to crush their arrogance! One thing you have to know is that a tall tree attracts the
wind . If we didn’t use such a cruel schemes to scare others, our restaurant might have been taken away
long ago!”
“It sounds reasonable when you say this . . . ” Sui Xiong was silent, drowning in his thoughts .
“Don’t believe his shit!” Seeing Sui Xiong about to be deceived, Lei coldly laughed then spoke, “You and
I, let’s make a bet . Behind the owner of this restaurant, there is at least one advanced Shaman as a
backing who might be the current owner of the Green Tree magic tower too . As long as the backing
Advertisement
doesn’t collapse, if they are well-behaved and courteous, no one dares to do anything to them .
They use this excuse to deceive those who don’t have enough knowledge about the Mystique
Tower Federation!”
“But he doesn’t lie . ” Sui Xiong said, “I can confirm this point . “
“One doesn’t necessarily lie to deceive others . ” Lei said dismissively, “Saying half of the truth is alright .
Nine true and one fake is alright . In short, deceiving others is indeed too easy . You should not be
dependent on your power, and you should learn more about the ways of the world– -magic for sure is
handy, but compared to magic, wisdom is way more important!”
“Good saying! Wisdom is more important than magic!” Along with the applause, the door was opened
again . A young man who was about twenty-ish stepped in . His face was somewhat
good-looking but full of arrogance, “It is the famous quote of the great Sage who established the
Mystique Tower Federation that year and is also the most famous proverb in our federation . I didn’t
expect such words coming out of an outsider– -judging by your outfit, you must be the kind of rude
people who just know how to use violence . But your words are like they are from an erudite noble
gentleman . The contrast is like the surprise in an opera; out of everyone’s expectation! Being able to see
such a scene isn’t a waste of my effort in coming here . “
“Who are you?” Sui Xiong unwelcomingly asked as he squinted his eyes .
Due to almost being deceived, his mood was not very good .
“I? All of you are standing in my estate . ” The young man smilingly said, “If you want to know my name—
–although your identities don’t qualify to know it, your words a moment ago really satisfied me .
Therefore, remember carefully, I am Kahn Green . ’
His laugh was very haughty . It was as if knowing his name was a very glorious thing for Sui Xiong and
others .
“Grand master Green has built the Green Tree magic tower, so what should I call you?” Lei asked in a
low tone .
“This question is very hard to answer . Because I have to add the word “Great grand” or “Ancestor”
before the word “Grandfather” . ” Kahn laughed and said arrogantly like before, “It is just that you
are thinking too much . Having met me is already considered lucky for people like you . As for how the
Elder is right now is not something all of you should care to know . “
Lei’s eyes slowly squinted, his hand on the sword’s handle .
In fact, this young man all along didn’t show a clear enmity, as well as didn’t show any intention of
using his arms and legs, but somehow brought a deep dangerous feeling to Lei .
This guy could not be underestimated!
Sui Xiong couldn’t think that much . His mood was poor . He wanted to vent and a suitable target
presented itself . Therefore, he rudely asked, “You are the owner of this restaurant?
This is good news! I want to complain! How do you do business? Because of such a trivial
misunderstanding, you immediately want to beat the other? Do you have law in your eyes?! Do your
hearts still have justice?”
“Of course, I have . ” Kahn’s face didn’t change color, he calmly answered, “I am a shaman . A shaman
only respects wisdom . Law? Justice? Those are toys that normal people use to hypnotize themselves .
Why do I need to waste time to remember or care about them?”
Sui Xiong was momentarily choked . The expression of this guy was too obvious . It was like he was talking
about Heaven’s law and Earth’s principle . To a guy like him, Sui Xiong indeed couldn’t think of what to
say .
This was like using words to make Stelle completely repent, be a prodigal son, and change her attitude .
The possibility was zero .
“Seems like . . . . you are not here to reconcile but to pick a fight?” He lowered his voice, saying, “Seems
like you really have confidence in your ability!”
“Confidence?” Kahn beamed an arrogant smile, “Only weaklings need those things . To a genius like me,
success and victory are easily attained . They are all simply matters of course . “
After saying this, he opened his left hand .
In his hand was a pocket watch that appeared out of nowhere . The clock hand of the watch spun but
didn’t produce any sounds .
“Time Freezing?” When Lei saw the pocket watch, he immediately knew what kind of magic the
opponent wanted to display . For a moment, he was frightened, but immediately pulled out his
sword .
He knew that he was most likely too late .
If comparing the art of casting magic to a crown, then the “Time freezing” would be the most gorgeous
gem on that crown . It could adjust the time flow of the shaman, putting the shaman in an unimaginably
fast time flow . In an extremely short time like a blink to other people , he could complete an action that
should be done in thirty seconds .
Although these actions had many limitations; for example, he couldn’t touch the target with any
enmity, couldn’t display any scheme that could destroy the structure of the magic such as the Magic
collapse, and couldn’t use any scheme related to space and time; in these thirty seconds, one could have
a mighty advantage . As long as one could utilize it well in those short thirty-seconds, he would easily
defeat his opponent even if his opponent was a giant dragon .
Facing such a magic from the opponent, if one didn’t have the appropriate method to fight back, usually
when one’s time returned to its normal state, it would be the end of the opponent .
Due to the protection of Highness Hollow Mask, Lei wasn’t worried that he would meet the
danger that could take his life . But he couldn’t help but have a defeating feeling inside– — -this
young man named Kahn is approximately ten years younger than me, but I am surely unable to catch
up to his true ability .
Having been through many ups and downs in the Westfall for several years, I, who used to be
complimented as a genius, is outmatched by a new genius generation .
It is like a proverb that Highness Hollow Mask used to say, in the vast sea the later wave pushed the first
wave, the first wave died on the beach .
That year . . . I also used a “later wave” pushing the first wave, making other seniors die on the beach . . .

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

She uses you as her own personal buffet and she indulges herself quite often. You even have the permanent scars to prove it. You have learned many things from her, mostly without her knowing, since you have been helping more and more with her spell work the last few years and her potion making. The only parts you can't do are the magic condensing rituals that her potions require and the mana infusions that a lot of her other creations need. Do you wish to initiate the Main Storyline with these parameters? Please Note: I publish daily.Second Note: I changed this story to a fan fiction. It is based on Swamp Boy. The old story is about 4 years old and was dropped after 19 long chapters. The author hasn't been online since then, so I figured it was safe to do my own take on it.
