Chapter 47 The Old Man Makes A Reappearance?

David hesitated a little upon seeing the old lady who just opened the door.

"Aunty, Is uncle not at home?"

"Look at how impatient you are, at least first come in!"

"Let me make some tea for you youngsters."

Both of them followed the old lady inside the house.

She asked them to wait for a while as she went to make some tea in her kitchen.

Eve was taken aback by the things she saw inside the house.

There were all sorts of antiques, paintings and relics in the room they were sitting in.

After a lot of thinking Eve concluded that these people living here must be David's family friends.

'But the old lady's age seems to be much older than David's parents, perhaps..they have connections to his grandfather?'

Eve was shocked by her thinking because David's grandfather was a well-known adventurer during his time but he too suddenly disappeared.

There were rumours that he was legend-ranked but since he never showed his strength, nobody could verify those rumours.

She used her slender finger to prod David's arm.

"David, are these people related to your grandfather?"

David looked at her and gave her a deep gaze.

His cold stare was enough to make her mouth shut.

"Hmm, since you already guessed then let it be!"

"Yes, uncle and aunt were helped by my grandfather once."

"They owe my family a life-saving debt!"

"You just listen quietly and don't you dare to interrupt our discussion with your curiosity!"

Suddenly the door of the house opened and an old man walked in.

Upon seeing him David had a brilliant smile.

He hurriedly got up from the chair that he was sitting in and greeted the old man.

"Uncle, how have you been?"

"It's me, David!"

The old man was surprised initially when he saw the guests.

But when he looked closer and saw the person was David, he laughed aloud!

"Haha, Oh my dear nephew..so it's you!"

"Your aunt and I have been concerned about your welfare these past days."

Suddenly his laughter condensed and his eyes became serious.

"No.."

"Why is your strength still so low?"

If Elandor was here he would kneel and thank the old man because he was the same person who appeared in the guild and threw the piece of paper containing the map that lead him to the Void Emperor's inheritance.

That was the turning point in Elandor's life.

Had he not mustered the courage to snatch that chance, his strength would be much less by now.

The old man's face suddenly turned ugly!

"David, did you not yet go to get the emperor's treasure?"

David just stood there dumbly not knowing what the old man was talking about.

"Uncle! What are you talking about?"

"How can my strength increase suddenly?"

"I am trying my best and now already have the strength of a silver-ranked adventurer."

"And what Emperor's treasure are you talking about?"

The more David spoke the more the old man's face distorted.

"Did you not pick the piece of paper I threw towards you in the guild? There was a short message written on it by me and on its backside, a map was also drawn."

The old man was once again filled with hope, he thought maybe David just picked the piece of paper and planned to get the treasure later when he had free time.

But David's face was once again filled with question marks.

"Uncle, I'm really not able to understand what you are trying to say!"

The old man was lost in his thought and spoke in a low tone,

"No, it should not be possible!"

"Did someone else pick that piece of paper?... But I threw it at such an angle that only David could see it and it was also a blind spot for others."

David carefully listened to the old man's words and slowly realised what had happened.

Apparently, the old man visited the guild to meet him, but seeing him busy flattering a beautiful and mature lady like Parul, he thought it was not good to disturb them and just left after throwing the so-called important piece of paper!

After realising what the old man did, David's head was full of black lines.

In his mind, he was roaring helplessly,

'Fuckkk! Such a trash person!'

'How can someone be so brain-damaged…you came to send such an important thing to me but left without even making sure that I got it!'

The old man sighed deeply, "It was a great opportunity.

Although I did not know what was in the Emperor's treasure, but according to my earlier investigations … It was enough to raise a person's strength to the early stages of platinum rank."

Upon hearing him both Eve and David gasped.

Eve couldn't help and speak out aloud,

"The Legendary platinum rank?"

"Oh my gosh, is it some sort of inheritance or what?...such a miraculous thing exists...that can raise your strength to such a terrifying level?"

Even David was filled with question marks.

This was way too shocking for him. ReadNovelFull.com

If Elandor could hear them, he would die from laughter, he got an all-element physique, luck devouring lotus and also a storage ring because of the old man's carelessness.

But before they could talk more, the old lady returned with a teapot in her hands.

"Oh husband, you came back?"

"What happened?"

"Why are you all standing with such serious faces?"

"Husband, Why do you not seem to be happy?"

David slowly told her about the conversation they just had.

The old lady's face, which was initially full of sweet expressions, got filled with black lines.

"How can you be so careless?"-she questioned the old man.

"Don't you know our life was saved by this boy's grandfather!"

"I'm pretty sure you were in a hurry to drink at the local tavern and after you saw that David was busy with some girl, you used the opportunity to run away leaving the work half-complete."

"It seems I need to beat you up!"

"Because of you, our David's strength is still only at silver rank."
