Luck is a Charm

While the fight continues to become intense between the town and the depraved magical beasts, Zhen has slowly infiltrated the town using his quick movement technique.

Due to Zhen cultivating the true cultivation and comprehending the initial phase of Flash Point, it is very hard to detect him unless their qi cultivation is two realms higher than him.

While Zhen infiltrates the town successfully, he has to make sure that it is safe to go inside the secret tunnel.

Cecilia has informed him of something very abnormal hidden inside where it has forcefully agitated her core during the time when Zhen enters a secret meeting.

She didn't plan to have Zhen notice her soon but because of this abnormal force, she decided to drag his conscience and have him start training.

As a Sovereign in the past, for something to be capable of agitating her core is definitely no small matter.

It could possibly be some treasure that even the higher worlds would want. There are not many things that could attract such a big movement and investigation from the empyrean force except for one thing.

An item left behind by the supreme being that surpassed the limit of an empyrean. The only legacy item left behind him could be so attractive to all those greedy folks.

Therefore, she has made sure Zhen was able to learn the cultivation technique from this supreme being in hope of being acknowledged by this mysterious item.

This item should definitely have its own conscience and ability to choose its owner and it would be easier for Zhen to be able to obtain his approval.

"Little boy, hurry up so we don't miss this opportunity," Cecilia said with excitement because she wants to witness this mystical item.

It could possibly be on par or even better than the mysterious space that she has gotten from his legacy tomb.

"I know and can you stop calling me little boy already? I'm a full-grown adult and not a virgin anymore." Zhen can't help but say this since he was being bossed around for a long time.

"If I don't call you little boy then what is there to say? Your name? Sorry but that name of yours is not to my taste."

"This name was created by my maid and it's something precious to me."

"But that name is your past on Earth. Didn't you decide to start afresh and live a new life? In this case, you should rename yourself as Zhen is something that belongs to the past."

Hearing Cecilia's reasoning, Zhen came to think about her words. She was right about him living a new life and it's logical to change his name as well because he no longer lives in the past.

"Sigh, why do I always feel like the short end of the stick whenever I'm arguing with you? This is simply unfair and I don't even have an idea of a new name."

"That's fine since I have already made up a new name for you. Instead of calling you Zhen, I prefer Zen much more. Given the fact that you're confident in your charm and appearance, Zen is a cooler name and not much different from Zhen."

"If I'm called Zen then what should be my last name since I never have one, to begin with?" Zhen said this because being called Zen is not really that much different than his original.

"Obviously you take my last name so it's Zen Von Henning from now on," Cecilia said without hesitation and she has her motive in having him carried her family name. A feeling that she doesn't know but her heart is simply telling her to not lose him.

"Zen Von Henning... guess that's my new name now." Zhen decided to accept this new name and called himself Zen from now on.

Being called Zen was definitely way better than a little boy. This term makes him seem like vomiting because he is an adult, one that has made love with a woman before.

"Well now that my name is changed, we should hurry up and look for the mystery item that those dogs are looking for. Imagining their faces fumed with anger when they know we were ahead of them makes me laugh."

Zen said to Cecilia slowly after this ruckus name change is done. After all, only she felt some fluctuation from this so-called item that none of them had seen before.

"Don't rush a lady. Don't you know it's rude to rush them when they're trying to think?"

Zen was speechless at her words. 'A lady that is fierce and bossy is not a lady at all. I will call you a lady if I get to conquer you.'

Once again Zen still has some intention toward her but it can't be helped, since Cecilia was too beautiful, and a feisty attitude only attracts him more.

Zen was not a masochist who loved getting yelled at but he feels warmth when someone yells at him because it means they care about him.

This is the reason why when Sara yells and twists his ear, there is not much he can do except pleading for forgiveness.

*Booooooooom*

Suddenly, a loud boom echoed throughout the town as there was a breach in the magical beast from the Westside.

"Arghhhhhh"

"James!"

An unfortunate adventurer was crunched down by a magical beast as more and more rushed into the town.

Reinforcement arrived but the sheer number of the beast was overwhelming as the beast opened their eyes to stare at them like food.

Multiple chains of spells continue to fire off the beast hordes but it was like dropping water in an ocean. The beast didn't care at all as they continued to overwhelm the armies.

A tragic scream fills the air as they watch their fallen companion become food for the depraved beast and black fog starts appearing in the air.

Hearing those screams, Zen ignores them as he ventures further to the city council for the secret tunnel passage with Cecilia guiding him.

The people here may be suffering and dying but it wasn't his problem. Zen does not know anyone of them and wasting his time to save their life was ridiculous.

There are always people dying everywhere and if he has to save every one of them then he would be busy forever.

Instead of saving them who would still die in the end. It was better to focus on his task to find the mystery item because sabotaging the dog's scheme is more important to him.

Besides, this item was highly valued by Cecilia who is a Sovereign which shows the importance of this item is more valuable than a few hundred human lives.
