Afterwards , Carl started making his plans as he went straight towards the orphanage , while having the same calm expression on his face.

-

-

'Rich or poor, mortals or cultivators , no matter the strength of the cultivator , they wouldn't be worth even dog's shit once they truly die.

Fame , wealth , they're all vanity that links those stupid mortals , who are still living naive lives.

Especially young masters , they are in the protection of their father , family head , thus making them becoming more arrogant and unbearable.

That is also true for that orphanage owner , if his wealth is at risk , he'll go to drastic measures just to keep it safe.' Sneered Carl in his heart as he thought of how easy mortals were to manipulate..

-

In the night , the cold wind blew in the streets where a few people could be seen walking.

Carl was walking there with a calm expression on his face , as he was going into a specific direction.

He suddenly stopped as he glanced at a building that was in front of him.

It was quite small in length , but its width made up for it as it was a warehouse.

Carl got on top of it , and he sat cross-legged as he started cultivating...

A few hours later , a bald fat man that was around 5 foot came nearby the warehouse , then glanced around before entering it.

Carl then suddenly opened his eyes, then quickly made his way through with bald man.

He then made a few movements before hiding himself carefully , enough for the bald man not to notice him...

-

The bald man was naturally the orphanage owner - albeit he looked fat ,that was only a fake facade, thus hiding his terrifying battle experience.

Carl followed closely behind while swiftly using spiritual energy to hide himself , and undoing it a few seconds after that.

That was a way of training for him , since he exhausted his spiritual energy that came from this world ; as albeit it was quite thin , it nourished expanded his nascent soul in the process.

But that didn't mean that the fat old man didn't notice anything amiss - as his battle experience wasn't for nothing.

He always felt a deep sense of danger whenever Carl undid the spiritual energy, but he continued frowning because he never found out about the source of it..

-

It continued like this , like a cat going for the rat game , though Carl only followed him to the hidden place in order to 'kill' him over there - and then leave no suspicions about him.

He wasn't naive to think that after the orphanage master changes , someone else would come and do better matters than the past one.

Greed for power and wealth always corrupts mortals ; thus leading them to become obsessed with it without their knowledge.

So he wouldn't truly kill him , but only make use of a specific spell that he'd learnt in his past life , that was the best in the manipulation aspect of spells.

It was through using the energy around to create a very thin worm , that was as thin as hair.

Though it was tough placing it on someone stronger than him , it wouldn't be the same case once he puts the orphanage owner in a near-death state..

-

Carl then proceeded to start with his plan , while his face looked in innocent , truly resembling naivety one would have at such young age.

He carefully undid the spiritual energy around him, then sat on the corner of the room before making a sound , alerting the fat man.

CREEEK!

Since when the fat man entered, only his steps were being heard ; but after his shoe moved it quickly resounded within the area..

Carl then got out of the corner of the room , as he moved towards the far man with a righteous expression on his face , and then said :" Old man! You've made me and the other children suffer! Now that you've managed to come here, I'll make you admit your mistakes to the police and go to the place where you deserve to be!"

Carl inwardly was cringing hard at his own words , but he knew he had to show the naive facade in order to make his opponent fall for the trick..

And as expected , the fat man laughed loudly making his chest bounce , until he throughly looked at Carl from head to toe , and kept nodding several times.

" Good! Good! Good!" He said good three times before laughing loudly , but thought inwardly:" what a rare mortal! having a step into the apprentice knight realm ! He can be sold for enough money that'll save me a lifetime of working !"

After giving a long look, The fatty returned to the main topic. He looked at Carl, his mouth curved up, "Carl, you are too young and inexperienced, just like I was back then. Believing I can accomplish anything , even justice among people , eliminating those who being injustice amongst society ."

the fatty shook his head and continued, "But when you gain more experience, you will understand that human is an animal in nature , following their emotions and desires and fullfiling them instead of looking at the bigger image.

You need to truly understand the extremities of society before being a fool and going as a righteous knight in the world.

Being a righteous person will indeed bring you fame , praises from other people , and wealth;and as a person who's power is as measly as that.."He then made his pression on Carl , before continuing:"..You definitely don't have the strength to make me admit my mistakes. "

Carl was looking at the fat man outwardly with a pondering look on his face , along with all of his body sweating , but inwardly he was grinning from ear to ear as he heard the far man's words.

'Wealth is just material goods, as it makes one's cultivation path smoother , but it won't matter whether one is even a god's son if he doesn't have the will to train to the peak.

After all, what's the use of talent when one doesn't use them?

While his words are correct , his thinking is still that of a measly orphanage owner, his status truly affected him from looking into the broader world; after all there are righteous cultivators in my world that reached the peak.

*Sigh*, the weak are two types : they can either lay low and beg the strong for benefits , or live content with their lives , though the second type is too rare..

As for praises , what's the uses of them ? it's but words that make one's morales reach the peak , making them feel 'happy' , but that's just their thinking being in a cage , once they leave it they'll be able to roam freely in the outside world..' Carl sighed before looking at the man in front of him , and then without a word appeared before him , making all the previous scene of him seem like an entirely different one..

Carl then hit the old man with 60% his strength.

BOOM BOOM!

The air around Carl's fist shook violently from the shockwave.

*Cough*

The fat man coughed a mouthful of blood as Carl hit his heart - one of his weak points , but that was it , since he had a sturdy defence that wouldn't allow more damage to him more than that.

The fat man couldn't help but feel shocked , as the power in that fist was higher than he expected, but he still grinned from ear to ear , as he inwardly thought - I've hit the jackpot! I'm gonna bring this young man with me and brainwash him to sell him!

Though that wasn't truly what happened , as after Carl used 90% of his strength...

BOOM BOOM!

The air around his fist shook even more , as his fist landed on the Fatman's shoulder , before it broke..

*Cough*

The fat man coughed even more blood , as his situation got worse..

But that was it , while the impact was higher , it didn't severely injure the fat man to a state where he couldn't fight - which was exactly what Carl wanted , a fight tempering enough to make him break through..

The fat man slowly rose up from the floor , before he flashed and started fighting with Carl..

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Every time Carl and fat man collided in battle , he'd reflect upon himself and improve upon what he did not do properly. At the same time, he would feel his own improvement speed on his strength , current body experience , as he also felt the bottleneck becoming fainter and fainter for him to breakthrough...

Though that didn't mean the impact Carl received wasn't low , but he didn't care as he continued fighting with a devilish grin on his face , as he thought - So what if I die? I'll just be reborn again , and temper myself again! How does a risk that doesn't have your life as the wager matter? Only with enough risks can one obtain enough benefits!

Of course , only due to his ruthlessness to even himself , could he achieve gains .

And true to his words , although his injuries were getting more and more which each collision , he couldn't care less as he was close to a breakthrough , before..

BOOM!

The bottleneck that had been holding back Carl from breaking through finally loosened , making him finally reach the apprentice knight realm..

And with that , the tides of the battle changed as Carl regained his energy from the breakthrough , thus leading him to quickly defeating the fat man..

" No, please ! Don't kill me ! I'll never do such evil acts again!" Begged the fat man , though even he knew that his words weren't true , as he would go back on them the moment he could..

Carl finally went back from his innocent face , to his calm , cold expression .

"You are old, fatty." Carl had a devilish grin on his face , as he continued :" Your great ambitions and aspirations have already disappeared when you couldn't progress in the cultivation path anymore. These years in the orphanage , you have lived an easy life and it has corrupted your heart. You are not vying for cultivation , but wealth that could maintain your current life. You can't fight with me to your peak because you are afraid of death , afraid that you'll lose everything you have , afraid of having such experience. How can you win against me , if you're afraid of death?"

Carl sneered before making the worm quickly controller the man , before he sighed as he started to gain back energy , since the worm needed too much energy to be created , but that's at his current level.
