Chapter 76. Quarrel More!
"Serious business? What serious business?" Joey frowned.
He did not think there was anything more important than what the other party had just asked for. This was the only thing he could give.
Could it be gold coins?
If he opened his mouth, he could kill him with gold coins. Mages spent a lot of money on a different level than normal people. They were burning money.
"It's about your future," Char said in a steady tone.
After hearing that, Joey and JoJo were stunned for a few seconds before bursting into laughter.
"Did you hear that? this person is pointing fingers at our future?"
"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. I don't even know if I have a future."
Char did not comment and patiently waited for them to finish laughing, her expression unchanged.
To a certain extent, it could be considered fate that this pair of clowns could be together.
Joey Jones was an only child, and his father was the second senator of Burwell, which was also the second in command of Astan City. However, the Jones family was a big family in the United Holy Kingdom, and Joey's father had always been bullied by a stonemason who was said to have worked as a carpenter in his early years. Hence, he dreamed of using his own influence to bring down Burwell.
However, how should he put it? He was a noob, the kind that had a big heart.
In terms of means and character, he was not as good as Burwell, who had lived a hard life. After a long time, he knew that there was no hope, so he simply transferred the pressure to his son.
In "Fantasy World", Mages were highly respected NPCs, and the birth of mages was one in a hundred. That was why Joey's talent as a mage gave his father a lot of confidence. He felt that he could rely on him to defeat Burwell.
It was a pity that Joey was not bomb freeze, and his father was not Andrew.
However, his father had the same problem as Andrew.
After a long time, a small sapling like Joey was crushed, and for a time, he became depressed and began to doubt his life.
On the other hand, JoJo was different. He was a true genius and was very hardworking, much more so than his peers.
However, the deformed Goblin was filled with all kinds of terrible remarks.
"Everything about JoJo comes from talent. He's really a lucky kid."
"If only I could have a steady stream of inspiration even while lying down like him."
"If I were him, I might be stronger than him. Unfortunately, I'm not. Fate is unfair."
That was probably the case.
JoJo was young and hot-headed and tried to defend himself. However, no one listened to him. They all turned a deaf ear to his words. Anyway, no matter what he said, he could not possibly remove his talent.
There were always people who liked to pull down things from high above, throw them into the mud, and trample on them, just to satisfy their twisted mentality. It was a pity that JoJo did not understand this at the time. He only wanted others to understand him.
As time passed, he simply gave up on himself. He just wanted to prove the value of hard work. He began to get addicted to the magical powder and could not extricate himself. Those who were already jealous of him became even more arrogant, beating around the bush and scolding him for wasting his talent and opportunity, etc.
After that, JoJo became the person they wanted to see the most. He was expelled from the race.
As a result, when the two of them met, a wonderful chemical reaction occurred.
Joeu had been subjected to his father's forceful interference since he was young. He had a weak and submissive personality and was able to tolerate JoJo's bad temper.
The latter saw the meaning of talent in Joey. A person without talent was like walking in a swamp, and every step forward required great effort.
The two complemented each other, and they had been together until today.
Char really liked this pair of clowns and had spent a lot of time with them. He had even seen their tragedy in the first round. Therefore, it had become a compulsory course for him to point fingers at the fate of the two people.
However, the way they laughed together was really too despicable.
"Are you done laughing?"
Char kept the packet of herb powder and asked, " do you know what the people of Aurania use the Soul-forming Grass for?"
"Tranquilizer and tea. What? Do you think I don't know about this?" JoJo raised his eyebrows.
"It's best for anti-corrosion. Even if it's just eating and drinking, they don't need to extract the essence and consume it directly like you do," Char said.
Just as JoJo was about to explain, Char spoke first, "I know what you're going to say, you're going to say that your research on the magical powder is not worth mentioning in front of the great dwarves, but don't forget that you can't go back to the plain of treasures or the port of rusty water. Do you know what you'll become after you finish this bag of extremely pure magical powder?"
Char pointed at a jar of organ specimens on the table.
"Your internal organs will become like that. The blood will stop flowing, the tissue will solidify, and the tissue will lose its activity. After taking it out and washing it, it can be used as a specimen directly."
"You're talking nonsense!"
"How long have you lost your sense of taste?" Char interrupted him, "Three months, right? You even lied to yourself that this is withdrawal symptoms. Is it because you're sick of food, and when you wake up in the morning, there's the smell of soap in your throat, and even pooping is like blowing bubbles?"
The jest in JoJo's eyes disappeared.
He suddenly changed from a proud genius to a terrified child. He took half a step back and subconsciously grabbed Joey's pants, as if he had a sense of security.
"JoJo, is what he said true?" Joey asked.
"Who the f*ck knows? I just woke up and my mind is still not clear. I'm hungry, Joey, I have a good appetite, I'm not sick of food! Hurry up and give me something to eat!"
Without waiting for Joey's reply, Char took out a plate of roasted pigeon meat that he had bought on his way here.
"Come. Finish it. If it's too greasy and unsuitable for a person who has just recovered from a serious illness, I still have other things here."
JoJo stared blankly at the plate of brightly colored roast meat for a few seconds. His eyes moved but her throat did not move.
Joey pulled the Goblin behind him and said, "Char, about this..."
"It's your turn, Joey. Is it really a good idea to let your father brag about how many monsters you've killed?" Char asked.
Joey was stunned, then he frowned and said, "This has nothing to do with you, sir."
"Nothing to do with me? He said yesterday that you single-handedly razed to the ground the mourning camp outside the Demon Eye Tyrant, Durom's lair. Today, he's going to say that you've mastered the technique to deal with the Demon Eye Tyrant. After two days, the great idea of you preparing to tear Zin'rokh apart will spread throughout the entire Kingdom of Rugao. I'm only here to pay my respects to the hero's corpse, in case you're transferred away by the United Holy Kingdom, and I'll never see you again."
"Char, you..."
"Joey! Is your stupid father still crazy?" JoJo suddenly jumped up and grabbed his collar. "Didn't you say that he had already shut up?"
Joey's expression was unnatural as he whispered, "JoJo, that's my father..."
"Didn't I say that I'm your father? You're going to acknowledge him as your father and not me?"
"We were just joking..."
"I'm not joking. F*ck you, you piece of trash! You'll die because of him sooner or later! Have you forgotten what happened in the Devil Valley? Burwell only gave you twenty people. Twenty people! The 20 useless soldiers ran away as soon as they started fighting! It's already a miracle that the he didn't take the opportunity to kill you. Do you understand? You're about to be killed by your useless father. How many things are you still hiding from me?"
"Shut up, JoJo! Don't you also have something you're hiding from me?"
"Hey! How dare you?"
"That's right! Start fighting!"
Char was watching with satisfaction from the side.
Done!
That was all he could do at the current stage. After all, the two of them were always solving problems in the process of discovering them.
After one round, JoJo's body had lost its vitality. Finally, he would became a Goblin specimen, dying in Joey's arms.
As for Joey, his father included him into a Demon Extermination Team that was obviously going to die. Before he left, he boasted to others that his son would return triumphantly. In the end, when he learned that his son had been torn to pieces by the demons, he only cursed him as a waste and shed a few tears for Joey.
However, none of that would happen.
