The party was soon over and Cain decided it was about time for them to collect their winnings. The young man who held these bets was quite well known, so they found him easily. He was a sneaky looking young man, who had features like a rat. The second he spotted Cain heading towards him, he tried to escape, but how would he escape Cain, who was known for his speed?

“You owe me 5,000,000 contribution points. Pay up”

“Brother Cain, I mean Senior Brother Cain. You must understand that I really don’t have 5,000,000 contribution points. All in all, I only made 53,000 contribution points from this gamble”

“So you’re saying its my fault that you did your job poorly?”

“No, no. Of course not, but I really can't afford to pay you. The best I can do is give you everything I own brother. However my mother is sick in the hospital, and my family is only a step away from living on the streets, if I gave you everything, what would they do?”

The young man’s eyes teared up, he truly looked pitiful, but how could he fool Oldman Belmon?

“Kid don’t listen to this person. I can tell that he’s lying from a mile away.”

Cain got angry hearing that. Originally he would have been fine just taking the 53,000 points, but now he wanted to punish this person by taking more.

“Hmph, what does your family have to do with me? Either you pay me back, or you work off your debt”

“Senior brother Cain, I am really good for nothing. You wouldn’t want me to work for you, trust me”

“Don’t worry, I have a good idea on what you could do”

Now that Cain was the supreme elder of the Greenwood Faction, he naturally had to put some thought towards its developments. For this rat like young man to have survived till now considering his trade, it means he must have lots of clients. The Greenwoods faction’s current strength was very weak, so a person who could advertise for them would be a perfect addition to their team.

Cain quickly told him his plan. The young man gave Cain his assurance before flashing of, naturally he gave him the 53,000 contribution points first. He wasn’t worried that the young man wouldn’t keep his word. The only way to escape Cain’s grasp was to leave the sect, and it really wasn’t worth it.

After dealing with this person. Cain split off from the Greenwood faction, he hadn’t been to the genetic research lab in a long time, so he decided to go there. One of the reasons was that he wanted to head to the more classified parts of the library since he now had contribution points to burn, and another reason was that a small part of him wanted to see Miren, who he hadn’t seen in a long time.

Cain walked into the research lab and headed to the second floor. Staying here would require 100 contribution points a day. He walked into the library and saw the person he had been wanting to see for a long time. Miren was sitting there quietly, reading through her books. She gave off an elegance and beauty that mesmerized Cain for a moment. Miren seemed to notice his gaze and turned around, their eyes met for a moment before splitting.

Cain straightened his back and decided to sit right in front of Miren, he wanted to strike up a conversation but he honestly had no idea how to go about it. He’d never tried to go after a girl romantically, so now that he was expected to say something, he froze.

“Hahahaha kid, don’t tell me you’ve actually got a crush on someone? I thought you were cold as ice, but to think you’ve actually got feelings too”

“Shut up Oldman, your words aren’t helping”

“I was about to offer you some help kid, but it looks like you don’t need it”

“... I apologize you old freak”

“You think I’m so desperate as to accept such a half-assed apology?”

“Alright Oldman, I sincerely apologize, so teach me your ways”

“You’re talking to the right person kid. Back when I was young I was quite handsome, in fact I was a lady killer. They used to call me Casanova Belmon, heh, those were the good days”

“You can stop reminiscing now Oldman”

“Alright, getting a girl is quite simple. Step 1 is finding out her hobbies and learning about them. This girl seems to be quite obsessed with genetic research, luckily you already have a background in that regard. Just go up to her and ask a question, that way you can start a conversation without seeming weird”

“I underestimated you Oldman, for once your advice wasn’t completely awful”

“Kid, as long as you follow my advice, you could make the queen of the universe fall in love with you”
