Chapter 300: Before, Present, and Future

“How is this possible? How? What is going on?” A series of question appeared in Pam Honqi’s mind. He had been an elder of the outer council for many years now and he had seen many strange things occur except seeing the undead creatures described by traveling poets. “What is going on?” He felt like he was experiencing something more shocking than seeing an undead creature.

Pam Honqi pinched his thigh to make sure that he wasn’t dreaming. The burning sensation told him that he was dreaming at all!

“You…” Pam Honqi was calming down a little and began to think. “You … what happened to you guys? How…”

The three young warriors who just woke up their bloodlines all looked at Pam Yun… no, his name was now Pan Monyun. For this generation, people who had awakened their bloodlines would get a “Mo” in their name and people who didn’t have the bloodline power didn’t have it.

“Pam Yun… No, Pam Monyun.” Pam Honqi focused on Pam Monyun and asked with a shaky voice as he couldn’t believe it. “Did you do this?”

Pam Monyun shook his head and his black hair fluttered as he did that. “Not me, but kind of. To make it simple, it was Qian Jin who asked to see the leader of the family today that helped me wake up the bloodline. Then he asked me to help others…”

“Torrent Battle Fort? Qian Jin? The person who wanted to see the head of the family?” The muscles on Pam Honqi’s face twitched uncontrollably as his lips made a series of “pia” noises.

A chilling sensation went through his body as his face turned dark. His limbs felt cold, his heart started racing and his vision started to blur.

“Fuck.” Pam Hongqi felt like his head was smashed by a powerful warrior. He thought he was dealing with a nobody, but it turned out that this young man was able to make four out of 50 members who failed bloodline awaking activate their bloodline.

That did it mean? What did it mean? Pam Honqi’s breath got heavy. “I sent those people away forcefully and I pretty much offended them… if the leader hears about it…”

Pam Honqi felt like the world was rotating in his head rapidly. The current leader Pam Honzi was intelligent and strategic. He was named the most outstanding leader after Pam Zefi. Pam Honzi had the strength that was comparable to the leader of the Qian Family, Qian Zhanxuan, and he was admired by the current emperor for his views and perspectives.

If the leader who wanted to make the Pam Family into the most powerful bloodline family found out about this…

Pam Honzi trembled as his dizziness was wiped out by another chill. “The leader…. Will kill.”

Of course, not the young man named Qian Jin, but…

“Where is Qian Jin?” Pam Honqi grabbed onto Pam Monyun’s shoulder and shook the latter forcefully. “Where is he?” He asked.

“They were…” A difficult expression appeared on Pam Monyun’s face as he said the lines that Qian Jin told him to say. “They were at Limitless Battle Fort.”

“Limitless Battle Fort? Of course.” Pam Honqi blushed when he saw the stares of the other four young warriors. He was not maintaining his usual high-up attitude. He calmed himself down and returned to his old mighty presence. “That’s right, ordinary warriors would definitely go to the Warrior’s Union. Go, go, and go. Let’s head there now.”

After stepping out of his house, he didn’t dare waste any time. The leader would hear about Pam Monyun who just woke up his bloodline soon. Also, since four young warriors woke up their bloodline using an unprecedented way, this news would get into the ears of the leader through other non-traditional channels.

Must! He must find Qian Jin before Pam Honzi hears about this. Without caring about the expression of the four young warriors, he jumped onto a horse and rushed to the Limitless Battle Fort.

Pam Monyun shook his head and thought, “What were you doing before? You told them to go away a few hours ago and threatened to kill them.”

“Qian Jin?” Liam rubbed his sleepy eyes and wiped the drool from his lips as he looked at Pam Honqi with a dull expression. “Are you talking about the young warrior who came from Torrent Battle Fort?”

“This greedy old dog!” Pam Honqi looked down at Liam and sneered. “Playing dumb with me? Is this my first dealing with you? You just want money.” He thought.

Pa! A silver coin was slammed onto the table. Pam Honqi then crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Liam’s expression. “You old dog, here is the money, you can tell me now. Tell him to come out and meet me.” He said.

“What is this?” Liam pushed his glasses upward a little with his finger and squinted his eyes as he looked at the silver coin. If this was a few hours ago, he would smile and take this money. But since Qian Jin dealt only in gold and gold bars, Liam was spoiled. “A silver coin? You can take that back and buy your kids some candy.” He said.

Pam Honqi was stunned. “Is this the Liam who would bow at me and even pick up a copper off of the ground? This is a silver coin!” He thought.

“Don’t you know what this is?”

“No.” Liam smiled. This was something that Qian Jin told him. If the person wasn’t sent by the leader of the Pam Family and if the person was rude, don’t bother talking to them.

“Are you here to get some change?” Liam sighed. He took out a gold coin and placed it beside the silver coin. “Sorry, Elder Pam, the smallest currency we use is a gold coin.”

Pam Honqi was shocked. “What is going on? What is happening today? How dare Limitless Battle Fort who is on the verge of bankruptcy talk to me like this?” He thought.

Pam Monyun lightly shook his head as he witnessed all this. This Pam Honqi had been the elder of the outer council for too long and he thought he was the leader of the Pam Family. He forgot that other people were scared of Pam Family and not him! A silver coin? Qian Jin literally gave Liam a gold bar not too long ago. It was easy to see who had more confidence.

Pam Honqi looked at Liam with a cold expression. “This isn’t the time to fight with this old dog.” He thought. “The leader might get the news any second. If the leader actually talked to these four new young bloodline warriors, I would be in big trouble.” He thought.

Hu…

Pam Honqi took a few deep breaths as he suppressed his anger towards Liam. “I will pay and get this matter resolved first. I will just come back and deal with this old dog. I need to let people in Limitless City know that elders of the Pam Family weren’t the people to f*ck with!” He thought.

“Liam, we have worked together many times, haven’t we always achieved our goals?” Pam Honqi put some smile on his face. If he smiled more frequently, his smile might not be as stiff. “How about this, just name a price. How many gold coins? How much for you to tell me the whereabouts of Qian Jin?

Liam smiled back at Pam Honqi. “Is this the same elder of the Pam Family who acted like an emperor every time he came here? What did Qian Jin do? It made this elder of the Pam Family act in such a way?” he thought.

“I don’t know.” Liam smiled again like a robot.

“You don’t know?” The smile froze on Pam Honqi’s face. “What is happening today? What is this old dog doing? He is able to name any price, yet he declined?”

“Liam” The stiffed expression on Pam Honqi’s face dissolved into a smile again as he asked, “Are you afraid that I won’t keep my word? Here are four bloodline warriors from our Pam Family, they can be your witnesses…”

“Elder Pam…” Liam smiled as he shook his head. “I really don’t know. Even if you get other elders to be the witness, I can’t provide any answers.”

Pam Honqi was stunned. “This old dog should know where Qian Jin is. Could he be buying time? Yes, that must be it!” He thought.

Pam Honqi got a wrap of the situation and suspected that Qian Jin held a grudge against him from earlier and told Liam to hide his whereabouts.

“No…” Sweat started to drip off of Pam Honqi’s forehead. He had to get to Qian Jin! The window of time remaining was getting smaller and if the leader knew about this…..

“Since I can’t bribe this old dog.” Pam Honqi thought to himself as the smile turned into a vicious sneer. If he had to offend Warrior’s Union today and caused someone from Central Warrior’s Union to come to him for an explanation, he needed to know where Qian Jin was. When the trouble arrived the leader of the family would be able to handle them.

“Old dog!” Pam Honqi smashed his palms on the antique-like table and caused it to shake violently. It was about to collapse anytime.

The sounds of muscles smashing against the wood resonated in the hall and it was enough to make people’s heart feel uncomfortable just listening to this noise. Pam Honqi’s dominating demeanor filled the room.

“Without my assistance, your Limitless Battle Fort would be long gone!” Pam Hongqi’s face was almost right next to Liam’s. He shouted angrily: “I can literally take down your little Battle Fort right now, do you believe me?”

“Takedown?” the cloudiness in Liam’s eyes disappeared and a cold mocking expression appeared on his face. He slowly stood up. Although he was short and thin, he gave off a huge and tough feel. “Elder Pam, I can tolerate anything for the Battle Fort and for the warriors. However…”

Liam’s dry lips shivered with his body as he leaned on the table. “Elder Pam, I won’t do anything to stab a fellow warrior in the back and I won’t do anything harmful to the dignity and honor of a warrior. Although I’m only an old ordinary warrior and don’t have your bloodline power, I’m still a warrior. My soul, my dignity, and my honor of being a warrior aren’t any less than yours!”

Pam Honqi stared at Liam and thought, “This old dog…”
