.

After he walked three steps,

he turn around toward that women dead bodies and cover it up.

.

But his attention was not here, but it was in near forest.

.

He heard whisper of people in the forest, and sound of walking through forest.

.

What did they do, why are they in forest? Same idea as him?

.

Zora stealthy got closer to them, and he remember some of them.

They were from pickpocket group.

.

'What are they doing here? Look like they came back from their jobs.'

.

Zora took off all clothes and he changed into full Metal form.

.

In the dark, it is so hard to see Zora, especially moonless night.

.

But Zora could see and hear them clearly. There were ten of them, they were carrying some bags with them.

.

Zora got smell of blood from them, they must be came back from killing people.

.

But they all looked like relax, like they came back from picnic.

.

"That girl was so good, it was really waste that we killed her."

.

"Ya, even if she was only 13, her body was fully develop."

"Her mother was good too."

"Even her daughter reach to that age she still good."

"Anyway we send both of them to heaven, before we killed them."

.

"We really hit the jack pot this time."

"Ya, if I were them, I would hire more guards. For the my wealth and my family."

.

"They did not hire many guards was good for us, we did not need too much effort to get wealth and sex."

.

"Damn, if boss did not told us to kill them all, I would keep both mother and daughter duel."

"Ya, leader do you know why boss wanted us to eliminate them?"

"How do I know?, only Cao Zhen knew what boss do." The leader told them with scorn,

It is look likes he enter J about Cao Zhen.(J=Jealous)

.

Zora thought, 'they were not only pickpocket but also they killer and robber.'

.

Zora did not angry about these people who killed and robbed.

.

But Zora angry toward the parents of that family,

.

They only care wealth over their life and their daughter.

.

Strong eat weak was everywhere, knowing that

but risking their life.

.

After that, wanting to blame on other when they got killed?

.

These people stopped while Zora was angry about stupidity of parents.

.

Zora looked around and he right away notice that, there were a cave cover with trees and bushes.

.

'What are they came here to do? Buried treasure?

That great. Time for to rob top of food chain people.'

.

Zora took out both swords and slowly get closer to them.

.

These people started to enter one after another,

.

Zora went near to cave and made ready for ambush.

Zora was scare while he was hiding from the horse in a narrow valley.

.

But now why did not he afraid of ten people?

May be some one in there going to have Metal power?

.

That Answers were so clear,

.

First thing, if they were powerful as horse, do they needed to work as like that?

.

Second, it was in dark night in a forest, if Zora could not win in fight, then he could run away.

.

Third, his speed was too fast, other were too slow.

This world people were two time stronger than Earth people but it does not mean they run faster,

.

For example of that, is that weight lifter could run in marathon and win?

.

Strength is a base for speed but it is not make someone faster if someone only train their strength alone.

.

Speed is also needed to train.

.

In reality everything needed to train.

.

If you train strength you got strength but not faster.

If you train speed you got faster but not too much strength.

.

Zora train both, but Zora more emphasise on speed and reflex.

.

That why he is faster in compare to ratio with strength.

.

Fourth, he now proved that his two swords could cut many things in this world without many difficulty.

.

So, he decided to killed them

.

'all for the good of people if he wanted to be a hypocrite.

.

But Actually was, Zora wanted to kill them for wealth and revenge.

.

While he wait, he found another problem that was.

These people did not come out, moreover they went into far away.

Zora heard some strange noise and foot steps were slowly faint away.

Zora needed to follow them if not he may lost to them.

.

Zora checked the cave before he went in for safety but no guard or not even a single person here.

.

When he got into the cave, he started a bit confused.

A cave is not that big that he could see entire cave.

.

In the cave not a single person could be found,

The cave is empty except Zora.

.

But it does not make him too much amaze, and he started looking every where, on the wall and floor.

.

Only a few minute, he found secret door on the floor cover with rock bolder.

.

He slowly push away tried not to make too much noise.

With a faint rub sound from the ground and door friction it move away and a tunnel appear.

.

That noise was what Zora heard it before.

And he knew what was it, he was so happy inside in his heart and he went in.

.

He silently and quickly walk in the dark, that tunnel only have one way.

.

He heard a door close sound in front of him, not a long time after he was started his walking.

.

And he knew there is an exit door in front.

.

He reached to end of tunnel and carefully slowly open the door.

As he afraid of someone found him but when he got out it was a run down temple at the corner of pickpocket den or killer den.

.

Out side of temple or big yard of thieves den, there were guards but it was same as in day time.

They all loosely guarded.

In the day time, they could easily see anyone who came in but for the night time it is bad.

Bad for them is good for Zora.

.

It is the nature, only a stupid, who would think as these thieve were very hard working?

These guards were talking, drinking and some were even sleeping on guard.

.

Zora went building near main big house and climb up, it was so easy for him to climb up.

.

As his one finger could even holding up his entire body now and spying job?

.

He was trained before, even with normal human body, he was so good at spying.

Now with a stronger body in Metal form.

.

He stopped when he reached to a place that he could clearly see and hear.

.

There were a big open veranda on the main building. There were group of people on veranda, that group were 15 people in total, drinking and talking.

.

Five main people and their guards,

Soon, some people were come into the veranda, they were that group Zora followed.

.

"Boss, we did as you told us to do." The leader of the group reported them.

"That grate, I would give you all reward later, leave everything here and now you all go have party and rest."

"Thank you boss."

And these people left,

.

The boss got up and looking for something in these bags.

Soon he found it, that was a box big as 1 square ft and 3 inches height.

.

He gave it to a man,

"Young master Lu, please check it."

That man was Lu Feng, one of five people, Zora met them at market.

.

After that man checked,

.

"Mister Li is really deserve as my father prise. Everything of my request were fulfilled.

I would give good word to my father for you.

And now let have party I would treated you all people here."

.

"Thank you young master." After Boss Li replied.

.

The boss stand up at veranda shout to all,

"Hay go get girls, drink and food for us and everyone have celebration for new year tonight, this is young master Lu treated."

.

As the boss command, everyone here happy.

"YAAAA, long live Boss and young master Lu." everyone shout and prise the boss and young master.

.

This is the nature of a job done,

.

One happy as another cry.

.

One gain as one lost.

.

A group of robber happy as a family vanished.

.

After Zora got some information, he decided to….

.

Go back home,

He never think stupidly to go and fight with these fifty around people.

.

Moreover, he did not know what kind of ability they have.

.

To win a war, know your enemy is needed. Now no information about them.

And there were too many of them, he could not fight all of them alone.

...

When he got back in his home from secrete door,

"GeGe," Yu Rou run toward him

He picked up Yu Rou and saw that she had cried.

Zora faced change into angry.

.

"Yu'er who made you to cry?"

"EnEn, no one" She shook her head and say no one.

So, Zora looked at other people in the who followed her and ask them.

.

"Who made her to cry?"

Ye Lin did not answer but Zou Qing Xuan answered.

.

"You, that was you who made her cry." and she continue.

"You killed again? Always got blood smell on you."

.

Zora did not answer her but,

.

"Do you worried about me, miss me?" Zora asked Yu Rou.

.

"Emmm, do you miss me too?" Yu Rou answered and question him.

.

"Of course, I always miss you. And worried about you." Zora answered with a kiss on her forehead.

.

"That horse who kicked us dead." Zora told Yu'er as she already knew.

And he walk toward into main room.

.

"Could you kill Yuan Tong?" Old granny asked him with amazing voice.

"You knew him from the started?" Zora was not stupid,

If he heard a word he could understand what was behind a word.

.

"Ya, not only me but many people knew him."

.

"Yes, I killed that animal, he begged me a lot to spare his life before he die."

.

"No wonder because of you were strong, You become bloody killer."

.

Zora did not explain that his strength was weaker. But his brain, his decision, his effort were ways stronger than that animal who only have strength.

.

"Ya, there were never stronger one die, only weaker one die. And I would kill many more later who were all weaker than me."

.

"And for me I am killer, I admit that but are you not a liar?" Zora told her back.

.

"What did I lie?" Old granny ask him with amaze.

.

"You told us, you would sell your food to us every time, we wanted to eat? Did you forget?"

.

"I did not lie, and now I did not open a shop to sell you."

.

"That why I call you liar, if you made promised you could not avoid whatever it came. Now you tried to avoid by closing down your shop?

You are same as Earth people.

Most people never kept their mouth promised."

.

"I did not have money to open a shop." Old lady starting to angry,

And she starting to lost.

.

"I have money, I could open the shop even now. Don't avoid and said no money."

Zora scheming was coming near to succeeded.

.

"Ohh, that was you want it?"

.

Old lady wasn't stupid.

She remembered that Zora wanted to share and open a big shop.

.

"Would you keep your promise or not?"

Zora did not admit, yes or no but force her.

.

"Ok, ok I would keep my promise.

Let open a shop.

I did not break a single promise of mine like your Earth people do."

Zuo Qing Xuan now knew that boy is cunning.

.

"Open a shop did not fulfilled your promise."

.

If Zora really scheming, he scheming has always something else deep inside of it.

And one step more.

.

"WHAT?" Zou Qing Xuan shout.

.

"Ya, let me rephrase your promise."

.

"I would sell you every times, that was your promise. Am I right or wrong?"

.

Zora asked her.

.

"Yes, that is and what was wrong?"

.

"You said every times, that mean even after you die."

.

"WHAT???? If I die how..."

.

She stopped and looking at Zora.

.

"That was you really after?" As a wise old lady, she understand without talking.
