Chapter 67: The Price

Miya looked surprised by Enzo’s confidence.

Since he was so confident, she nodded.

She then took out her phone, opened her contacts, and called a contact named Old Man 4. The contact photo showed an old man smiling and revealing a full row of surprisingly intact white teeth.

It was the priest who had married them.

Tot!

Miya’s phone chimed softly, and the video call was answered shortly afterward.

The screen changed, revealing an old man who seemed to be standing on a quiet beach with no one else around.

"Girl, why are you calling me?" the old man asked.

He was much older, so he certainly qualified to call Miya a girl.

Of course, the main requirement for that was his strength.

The old man looked at Miya curiously.

Recently, Miya had only called him whenever she wanted something.

She had not asked for his guidance in a long time.

"Master, can Enzo obtain your clan’s Body Cultivation technique?" Miya answered without beating around the bush, slightly surprising the old man.

An interested look appeared in his eyes.

However, instead of asking any questions, he nodded.

"Of course. He can. Just come to Los Angeles. You can tell Isabel."

"Master, do we need to pay for it too?"

Miya smiled bitterly.

"Just ask Isabel. She shouldn’t charge you too much, perhaps just money. Coincidentally, we want to buy a new aircraft for the clan’s operations," the old man replied.

"Alright..."

Miya nodded before ending the call.

A moment later, she frowned slightly.

"I think after my strength increased, this old man started treating the Stanley Family as a rival," she said.

Enzo was not sure what to say after hearing that.

"Then are we going there?" he asked.

"Yes, let’s go there."

Suddenly, after saying that, Miya’s hand moved to his wrist.

Enzo’s eyes widened as the scenery around them changed in an instant.

He saw City Z far below, a view that he was accustomed to seeing on online maps.

"This..."

He wondered whether this was an illusion or reality.

"This is what you can do once you become a Lord of Earth," Miya said while standing beside him.

Although she was merely holding his hand, his entire body was actually floating.

He could not feel gravity pulling him down at all.

"Aren’t we taking a plane?"

Enzo asked, only to realize that it was a stupid question.

If they could fly directly, what need was there for a plane?

Besides, aircraft were far slower than Lords of Earth.

Miya smiled faintly before taking a step.

This was not launching herself forward, but literally walking through the air.

However, every time she took a step, the scenery below completely changed.

Hills, mountains, barren land, dense forests, incredibly wide rivers.

Each step took one second, yet the distance they covered was truly unimaginable, making Enzo think about opening an online map to see where they were.

But he felt that would be rather ridiculous.

Next, they appeared above another vast city, even larger than City Z, yet without many tall buildings.

Enzo recognized it.

X City.

This was the capital of the Southeast American State.

They had already traveled this far.

Even by plane, it might take half an hour or more.

At this rate, they might reach Los Angeles in only fifteen minutes.

Of course, this might be a speed that other Lords of Earth could not achieve, but they should not be too far behind, considering that Miya was still moving so casually.

"It seems you can travel around the world with ease," Enzo said, making Miya smile.

And just as he expected, it took around fifteen minutes.

The city of Los Angeles appeared before them.

With the hills surrounding it and the ocean stretching ahead, Enzo could see everything clearly.

It had long been one of the most influential cities, competing with New York and Washington.

Of course, it had its own appeal, as many celebrities lived here.

Alice Howard lived here as well. She had only gone to City Z to film her drama.

Miya took another step, and they arrived above the city center.

Enzo noticed an area below surrounded by walls.

"Is this where the Martin Family is?" he asked in surprise.

"Kekeke, what brings you here, Miya?"

Suddenly, a charming laugh came from below.

A moment later, a blonde woman with wavy hair appeared before them, wearing only a short casual dress that barely concealed her thighs.

Her beauty was no less than Miya’s, and with the flirtatious charm on her face, it was almost impossible for any man not to be captivated by her.

Her allure even surpassed Alice’s, though the latter was younger. Isabel could easily make anyone think of the word ’sexy.’

When Enzo looked into her bright blue eyes, the woman winked at him with her left eye.

Miya’s initially calm expression turned cold.

"Isabel, give your cultivation technique to Enzo. Name your price."

"Ohhh..."

Isabel was stunned when she heard that.

Her smile became even wider afterward.

"It can be free as long as Enzo becomes my disciple. He’ll even receive my personal guidance," she said.

"Enzo, what do you think?" she asked.

"No need. I’ll pay. I’ve already discussed it with your grandfather. Bring the technique here."

Miya answered immediately, causing Isabel to smile bitterly.

"Miya, your pride has destroyed our destined master-and-disciple relationship," Isabel said.

"Fine. I won’t make things difficult for you. Just pay with money, but it won’t be cheap."

"Name your price!"

Isabel then raised five fingers while continuing to smile.

"Are you willing to pay? You know how valuable this is."

"You’re really ruthless. Bring the book."

Miya replied, looking displeased.

Enzo, who knew that the Stanley Family was not actually that wealthy, understood that this might nearly drain their company’s reserves.

However, considering Miya’s strength, she would not actually have much trouble earning that much money if she took on a few jobs.

"Wait a moment!"

Isabel giggled again before descending back down.
