Chapter 295 Clive
Chapter 295 Clive ?
This left David quite surprised.? He hadn’t expected that a seemingly ordinary stick would make the once defiant Emlyn obedient.
Viola, standing nearby, was equally astonished, watching the scene in disbelief.? As Emlyn’s crying gradually subsided, he slowly regained his composure.? However, he wasn’t as arrogant as before.? Even though he cast furtive glances at the bamboo stick in David’s hand, a hint of timidity remained.
The old man chuckled at Emlyn and said, “If only you had known better, why resist from the start?? You have no idea of this kid’s strength.? Follow him, and you’ll quickly shed this skin.”
The old man seemed to have a clear understanding of David’s strength, as his strict tone shifted to one of guidance.? However, Emlyn remained somewhat unhappy.? After all, he was in his sixties or seventies;? how could he follow a young man around?? And on top of that, he had to bow and address him as “master”?
The more Emlyn thought about it, the more he felt that this arrangement was unreasonable.? Yet, he still feared the bamboo stick in David’s hand.? His eyes rolled as he pondered how to escape and return to the Abyss Cemetery to continue his carefree existence as the cemetery overlord.
In truth, Emlyn’s previous masters were also quite strong.? However, he found them somewhat lacking when compared to himself.? After being resurrected by the old man, he had already reached Level 9.? Over time, he had absorbed the flesh and blood of numerous zombies in the cemetery, propelling him past Level 10 to reach Level 11.? Relying on his formidable level, he hardly considered anyone his equal.? In his view, how could he have someone as his master who wasn’t stronger than him?
David noticed Emlyn’s peculiar gaze.? He realized that this strange guy had probably taken him for a weakling.? He simply smiled and decided to show him something impressive.
David pointed towards a massive peak in the distance and said to Emlyn, “Do you see that mountain?”
Emlyn followed David’s finger, still wearing a disdainful expression.? “So what if I see it?? Are you planning to move it or destroy it?”
Before Emlyn could finish his words, David’s fist suddenly struck the mountain with a loud bang!? Immediately, an explosive sound echoed throughout the valley.? The towering mountain was reduced to ruins in an instant.? Enormous boulders tumbled down, and billows of smoke rose towards the clouds.
Seeing this, the old man couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.? He could tell from that single punch that this guy’s level had reached 12.? As this thought appeared in his mind, he stared at David in astonishment, as if he were looking at a monster.
At the same time, Emlyn’s mouth hung open in disbelief as he witnessed the scene unfold before him.? What was going on?? A single punch shattered an entire mountain?? After a long while, Emlyn closed his mouth, his eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.
In that moment, David used his strength to prove that he was more than capable of being Emlyn’s master.
“Clive, you can go now.? The scenery here is quite nice.? I’ll stay for a couple of days, just to relax.”? After a moment, Emlyn dusted himself off and put on a nonchalant expression as he spoke to the old man.? Then, he looked towards David’s golden base and was once again shocked.? He casually walked into the base.? His movements were fluid and seamless, leaving no room for the old man to say anything, as if he had meticulously planned this beforehand.
“This guy…? ” the old man looked at Emlyn’s figure, his mouth twitched.? He turned and looked at David, saying, ‘Don’t judge him by his current baby-like appearance.? Once he sheds this skin, he will undoubtedly become your most powerful ally in this wasteland world.'”
David nodded with a smile.? Whether Emlyn had strength or not, David didn’t care.? What mattered to him was being able to quickly assemble his own team in this desolate world.
The old man then gave David some more instructions and prepared to leave.? Just as he was about to turn around, he seemed to remember something, scratched his head, and said to David, “Kid, I forgot to tell you my name’s Clive.? Well, I guess I’m of your grandpa’s generation, so you can call me Third Uncle from now on.”
After saying that, Clive appeared somewhat proud, walking into the wooden house and disappearing into the barren world.? As for this title, David didn’t mind.? Regardless, Clive didn’t seem like an enemy at the moment, so treating him as an elder was only appropriate.? If he were to become an enemy later on, David couldn’t guarantee whether that “Third Uncle” nickname would hold.
With Clive’s departure, the Kui tribe members finished cleaning up the skeletons of the zombie creatures in the valley.? The valley returned to its original appearance, but a faint smell of blood still lingered in the air.
The three returned to their base.? As soon as they entered, David saw Emlyn running excitedly around the rooms, his face full of joy.? With his short legs moving energetically, Emlyn exclaimed while taking in everything around him.
“Desert Eagle?? Damn!? Impressive!? And a heavy machine gun too.? Is this a weapons depot?? And there are wine and cigars too?? Is this still the barren world?”
Emlyn pulled out a bottle of wine from the shelf without hesitation, popped the cap off with his chubby little mouth, and then chugged it down with gusto.
In the blink of an eye, he had finished the entire bottle of wine, his face filled with satisfaction.? Seeing this unexpected guest treating the place like his own, Viola’s face quickly showed a hint of disgust.
David, on the other hand, looked at Emlyn indifferently.? He felt the need to teach him a lesson.? He was now Emlyn’s master;? he couldn’t allow him to act without restraint here.
“Emlyn!”? David walked over slowly and called out. π·πΉβ΄πΏπ.π¬πΈπ
“How dare you!? Emlyn’s name is something your younger generation can call as well.? If it weren’t for that scheming Clive, I wouldn’t be staying here today.”? Emlyn tried to assert himself and let David know he wasn’t someone to be trifled with.? However, he forgot his current status β he was just David’s lackey.
“Smack!”? Without hesitation, David raised a bamboo stick and struck Emlyn.? “Don’t…? don’t hit me!”? Emlyn suddenly felt a pain on his body, tears welled up in his eyes, and he ran while dodging David’s pursuit, repeatedly speaking in a frightened tone.
