I Just Want To Go Home and Collect The Rent!

"Just call me Calvin, no need the master, mister, or brother, since I'm not your owner, your neighbor, or your relative."

"How about senior?"

"I'm not that old! I'm in my prime 40ish!" Bruce and Astrid try to not laugh hearing Calvin's remark.

"Ehem... Master, including those time before...."

"No! New place new time. No addition!"

"...."

"Well, Sir, what do you want talk about?"

Calvin stunned after being called sir. I've missed that. Must remember to add it another time.

"Your name, your background, and your reason why you pursuit that maid."

Although Calvin sound too rude and impolite, Tang Shen still answered with light smile.

"Tang Shen, from house of Tang, the current City Lord's third son. I have my special reason for it but it have no evil purpose that i can't tell you yet, and for this i will swear in the dao oath that i will never harm Miss Sue." A dim light shoot out from Tang Shen's body. The dao oath has been confirmed by the heaven.

"So, you're City Lord's son. What a mess. You! Come here."

Calvin pointing at the man at the corner table. The man stunned for a second. Then he reluctantly sit on Calvin's right side.

"Name, your target, reason."

The man hesitate to answer. But when he looked at Bruce and Astrid, he gave up on lying. They are strong. Deadly strong. All his senses screaming about his demise if they're not happy to him. Calvin may looks like a mortal, but if his servants are this strong, his judgment told him that this man is more frightening.

"My surename is Bao. The target is Tang Kun, the current City Lord. The reason is classified."

Bao couldn't tell the reason because once it's an assassin's code and the other is he doesn't think that this group can help him at all.

"Bao? Assassin Bao? You are Bao Yuteng!" Tang Shen's face turned pale. This man is very known as the best assassin. No victim could escape once they enter his hitlist. And now, his father has enter it.

"But you're dead ten years ago! Even the assassin guild was giving an official notice. Why are you....."

"Because someone has forcing him to." Calvin's word cut off Tang Shen's bewildered mind.

"It's really really true! Master was telling the true! A real assassin!" Astrid feels amazed by this. But Bruce, on the other hand, sense a worrying fact.

"Master, did you peek on the book of fate again?" Peeking the book of fate will cost them a lot. Even it's possible to meet the void realm as their next destination.

"Hah! What book of fate! I told you cultivator realms is shitty! This kinda development is just another generic plot."

Calvin drink his tea before continuing.

"Let me tell you another generic plot. This guy has hide and faking his dead so far, yet he's back to his old job. It's mean that something forced him. Someone has threat his loved one. Now, the one who could do that is someone who have great power. For instance, someone from Evil Eyes Sect. Am i right, mr. Assassin?"

Bao Yuteng nodded his head helplessly. His family has been caught. Though he knows that the chance of him and his family to keep their lives after his job was done was as thin as silk thread, he couldn't just gave up.

"It's a bullshit!!!"

Suddenly, the beggar was barging in towards their table. On each step, his spiritual rose until the highest stage this realm could allowed, the peak Golden Core stage. His dirty clothes has disintegrated and a dark robe has been replacing it. Rune patterns are glowing lightly like starlights.

"Wow... LED clothes, is he a pop star?" Astrid saw this kind of clothes at another universe before.

"He's wearing multi layers of clothes, is he sick? I don't know if cultivator can catch a cold," Bruce rubbing his chin with his right hand.

The beggar's step was freezing. Everyone was looking at the group. While they don't know about LED, but hearing that cultivator could catch a cold sound very insulting. Brother, we could fly and shooting energy, we're not that weak.

"That's rune patterns, a doodles to make things stronger," Calvin tried to teach Astrid with easiest words he could. She's not that bright. He thought maybe she didn't eat brain enough when she's a demon lord.

Another silence. Brother, really, doodles? Those rune and talisman masters will doodle you to death.

"Ehm...," the beggar's light cough dispelled the silent moment. Most of his anger has dispersed. When he's outside he didn't notice death warning from Bruce and Astrid.

Now when he faced them, he felt like a speck of dust. Who the hell are they?

"Bao Yuteng, stop slandering my sect. Give me a solid proof or else."

"Master! He's real! Yo, Doodle guy! You have thing that could destroy the the city, right? Can i see it?"

The beggar dumbfounded. Of course as someone as those with the highest level, he has something that could blow this city apart.

Bruce smacked her head.

"Knock it off girl! It's impolite to ask people their secret. If someone ask you your deadly weapon, will you show them easily?"

"Of course!" An ominous disk appeared on Astrid's hand. Tons of wailing souls and sinister aura were surrounding it.

"PUT IT BACK!" Bruce knock her head harder. The disk disappeared immediately.

"Stupid demon! You should learn about common sense!"

"It is common sense!"

"Not demon sense! Human sense!"

Sweat was appeared on Calvin's forehead. This demon is more gullible than angel. Is it mistake to pick her out from her home? She's a total goof.

"It is human's sense! I've learned it from master Calvin."

Another silence....

Everyone was mourned for their future.

Bruce had a massive headache. "You can't learn from master Calvin, he's multiverse reject!"

"Astrid, nice!" Calvin gave her a thumb up.

"Don't encourage her!" Bruce wanted to cry. "Astrid, you should read more at the library starting tomorrow!" Bruce has a library at his void space, massive knowledge were collected from many universe they've encountered so far.

"Ah shit, another one is coming..." Calvin looked at the door.
