Child of Destiny Chapter 1022 Asking For A Favor (Part 2)

...

Shin had a blank look on his face as he stared at David. It took him a couple of monts before he could ask absentmindedly. "Huh? Senior Sister? What are you talking about?"

The corner of David's mouth suddenly twitched when he heard those words. He then sighed helplessly and answered. "Your Senior Sister. I've ntioned her to you before. Have you forgotten already?"

Shin raised his eyebrows. "Oh? Have you? I guess you only ntioned her briefly and nothing else which is why I don't clearly rember."

David's mouth kept on twitching as he admitted his mistake. "Well, you are not wrong about that."

Recollecting himself, he quickly added. "She is another disciple who studies under Master's guidance. Aside from her crazy personality that is always eager to cause trouble everywhere, everything else about here is actually good."

"She is very talented in ntalism which is why Master is too fond of her. She even inherited Master's ntalism thod and swordsmanship. That ntalism Technique is comparable to mine even though my 'Myriad Manifestation thod' is a collective art of every ntalism thod from my Kingdom."

"That sounds powerful," muttered Shin. After training with David and becoming familiar with the ntalism Techniques of his Senior Brother, he beca aware of how strong it was. From his impression, the ntalism thod did not have an evident weakness as it cover everything that was needed in all kinds of situations.

Hearing that comnt, David could not help but wear a weird look on his face. It seed like he did not want to admit sothing but still gave up in the end. "She IS powerful! Most of her talents may be a little average, but she is very hard working and know how to use her techniques well."

"She is eye candy too. And her figure is like an hourglass. If not for her terrible personality and love for trouble, she would be a good catch," he added, shaking his head in pity and regret.

Then, as if he rembered sothing, he quickly shared. "Oh! I suddenly recall that when she first arrived in the village and was introduced by Sir-… Ahm... Adamson, Master's husband, I've almost fallen into her trap."

"Then when she got accepted by Master as a disciple, she was so sensitive about seniority and didn't want to be the Junior Marshal Sister, so she challenged in a duel to decide who would be the eldest disciple."

"I never defeated her, nor she could defeat . Our duels always ended in a draw, so we decided to go by in equal seniority."

While David was sharing his experience with this so-called Martial Sister, Shin could see so complicated emotions from his Senior Brother. He could tell that the relationship between David and his Senior Sister was not that simple.

Thinking about that, Shin could not help but tease a little. "It looks like you have already fallen into her trap to ."

"Bah! Phew! Who will like such a violent woman? She is a total headache. I rather fancy a tree than look to that woman," denied David strongly.

Shin chuckled a little and added. "Yet you like my big sister who also happens to fall in the sa category. I think I am starting to get your type of girl now."

"Hey! That is clearly a different case! My feelings for your big sister are real! I can still rember the 'slow motion' effect that I always hear from fairy tales and dramas when I first see her!" refuted David, trying to defend himself. Unfortunately, the more he denied it, the clear it was in Shin's eyes.

Realizing that he could not save himself in this situation, David decided to go back to the original topic. "Forget that. Let's talk about the matter that I am asking you."

Shir raised his eyebrows and asked. "What is the situation and what kind of help do you need?"

David cleared his throat and explained. "Martial Sister left the village when Master and Sir Adamson are not around. She said that she would be going for an adventure while traveling the world."

"And when she was in the Sun-Moon Continent, she managed to assassinate a corrupt high-ranking official. She was able to hide her identity and erased all of the tracks that might point at her, but she could not leave the country since the whole continent was in a complete lockdown due to her."

Shin could not help but furrow his brow the more he listened. And when he could not endure it anymore, he imdiately asked in a sarcastic manner. "So, what kind of favor do you want from ? Don't tell , you want to go over there to save her."

David gave his junior brother a skeptical look even though he knew that Shin was only kidding. Regardless, he continued. "Can you ask soone from the Springfield Family to send a few people there in whatever disguise or excuse before bringing her along when they are going back?"

"It is also fine if they are not going back here and just cruising toward another country to not make it suspicious. As long as she could leave that place, it will be fine," he added after a quick thought.

Shin continued to wear his skeptical look and refuted. "Do you think it will be easy? As you already said, the whole country is in lockdown."

Hearing that, David threw a sharp glare at Shin and countered. "And why do you think I am asking for a favor? If it is an easy job, then I will be heading over there myself already! That is why I am requesting so help from the Springfield Family, in the first place."

Shin wanted to tease his senior brother a little more when he saw that reaction but chose not to do it when he saw the genuine concern that the latter was showing. He then took a deep breath and replied. "I can help you explain the situation to Uncle Nathan, but I can't promise that they can help. It is not an easy favor after all."

"So, what will I get from this? And what can I offer to them in exchange for their help? You know, there nothing is ever free in this world," he added, waiting for what David could offer.

David was stunned for a mont before refuting. "That is your Senior Sister!"

Shin shrugged his shoulder and replied nonchalantly. "That is true, but I don't know her personally and we are not that close either."

The corner of David's mouth suddenly twitched and thought to himself. 'If only you know who she really is.'

Releasing a helpless sigh, he gave up and spoke. "I will answer anything that you want. I know that with your intelligence, you already have noticed sothing. If you are ready to seek the truth about it, then ask any ti."

He then paused a mont before continuing. "As for the Springfield Family – just say that I have important information about an Ancient Dragon Monunt. I am sure that they will like it. No, they will surely love it!"

Hearing that, Shin could not help but have so doubts and ask. "If you have such a good piece of information, then why not go straight to Uncle Nathan instead? It is not like this is your first ti talking to him."

David rolled his eyes at Shin and started to doubt the intelligence of this junior brother of his. "Hey! Do honestly think that I can request an audience from such an important and very busy person?"

"Even if I have such an important piece of information in my possession, it does not an that I can see him every ti. I am not like you who can give him a call or et him regularly on a daily basis!" he added with a cursing tone.

Shin laughed it off and agreed. "Well, I know about that. I just thought that you have sothing in yourselves since you seem to be pretty well connected to every important figure in this continent despite clearly being a foreigner."

David could not help but gulp his saliva when he heard those words. 'It looks like I have been tricked! This guy is still sharp as ever. Has he noticed sothing?'

Seeing that reaction from David, Shin casually waved at him and added. "Anyway, that is not important right now. I'll deal with your favor and we can talk about the other things later. Just make sure to properly answer my questions when that ti cos."

David secretly sighed in relief before suddenly being concerned. He was not sure if it was the right ti yet, but from the looked of it, he could no longer dodge the serious topic anymore.

Regardless, he now achieved his real goal. The truth was he was supposed to head over the Sun-Moon Continent himself. Given his past experiences, it would not be a problem for him to sneak into such a heavily guarded place. He had already done it in the past, so he no longer had an issue with that.

The problem was he just got an important piece of information. He could not just let such an opportunity slip away from his hands. If everything went well, he would not only be able to foil another huge operation looming in the underworld, but he could also beco closer to Shiella if he played his cards right.

This was going to be killing two birds with one stone, so he had 'no' choice but to ask Shin a favor to help his troublemaker Martial Sister. He could not help but praise himself for making such a perfect plan.

He had to thank his junior brother for having such a very reliable background.

Shin was about to head to the kitchen when he suddenly recalled sothing and stopped his steps. "Ah! Before I forget! I have sothing I will like to consult you about the Jade Kirin Scripture. I experienced sothing strange when I am trying it inside the ga earlier."

David was initially taken aback before quickly recollecting himself and listening to Shin's experience.
