Chapter 2018 - 40: This Move Is Guaranteed to Work on You

Jia Yan unexpectedly said he wanted to stay here at this moment.

Moreover, there was nothing wrong with the procedures.

"This Lord Jia Yan, right? If you stay here, you might not receive good guidance. Our Alliance Hierarch might personally instruct you, which is a rare opportunity."

His cold voice echoed from afar, seeming very displeased with Jia Yan’s decision.

In his view, a genius with Three Special Abilities is certainly formidable, but at his level of strength, he didn’t fear or value them as much. After all, his status was completely different from that of Dongneng, so he felt a bit dissatisfied with Jia Yan’s refusal.

Of course, even he wouldn’t dare directly offend someone with Three Special Abilities.

"Heh, this Esteemed Minister, I teach this Giant Tribe child, though it requires some time, it’s not that I’m completely unavailable."

Jia Yan deflected with his words while keeping an eye on this so-called executor.

In his heart, he held great awe and vigilance towards this Dao Entry Strongman who had reached Star River Level Strength. For such a powerful figure, he was akin to someone he couldn’t resist—if he launched an attack, Jia Yan wasn’t sure he could evade.

In this process, only that cheap disciple he’d just prepared to receive, the Giant Tribe child, might be able to provide some obstruction. However, since Jia Yan and he weren’t acquainted yet, there was no certainty he’d help Jia Yan, hence maintaining vigilance.

The reason Jia Yan was reluctant to go to the higher-level areas of the Manipulators Alliance was actually quite simple.

It was because Jia Yan couldn’t guarantee whether his outsider status would be revealed when he reached where more Strong Ones were.

Not the outsider status of this city, but that of an outsider from outside this world.

A minister is a Galaxy-level creature, so if this Manipulators Alliance’s so-called Alliance Hierarch appears, or other high-level members weaker than the Hierarch appear?

If their strength far surpassed that minister, Jia Yan thought, he simply couldn’t resist, so it’s better to keep a distance from them.

"Hmm, there are actually people unwilling to go to the headquarters. Alright, since you want to act like this, I’ll let you have your way."

The minister let out a cold snort, then took out a wooden plaque and tossed it to Jia Yan.

"This is a controller’s plaque. From now on, you’re a regional controller of this Manipulators Alliance. As for whether you agree to go to the alliance headquarters, I’ll mention it to the higher-ups later. If they insist on you going, you won’t be able to stop it. Kid, I’ll tell you, I’ve seen many geniuses, having Three Special Abilities is not rare, don’t get too cocky."

After Jia Yan received the plaque and looked up again, he saw that controller minister transform into a ray of light and disappear beyond his visual range in an instant.

"This speed is impressive."

Jia Yan’s heart skipped a beat, realizing that if the entity with such speed attacked him, he’d probably have no time to react and would be exterminated or captured by that minister.

No wonder it’s a Galaxy-level creature.

Jia Yan shook his head.

He felt his strength was lacking in this city.

But fortunately, compared to the outside world, although there are many strong individuals in this city, the rules are still richer. So as long as Jia Yan isn’t easily identified with his outsider identity, perhaps nobody would attack him easily.

"Congratulations, Lord Jia Yan."

"Lord Jia Yan, you’ve given up a great opportunity."

"Lord Jia Yan, we are future colleagues, let’s build a good relationship. We were just going through the motions before."

One by one, the controllers greeted Jia Yan.

However, they didn’t engage too much with Jia Yan; having just fought, clinging onto him now felt awkward even if Jia Yan accepted it.

Of course, they dared not disrespect Jia Yan.

After exchanging greetings, they left and returned to their territories.

Jia Yan thought about it briefly and spoke to Dongneng and others, then took off.

"Come, let your Master ride on your shoulders, shall we?"

With a free labor force, Jia Yan didn’t want to fly by himself.

This was also a test, as he didn’t know if the Giant Tribe child sincerely wanted to be apprenticed to him.

"Sure, come on."

The Giant Tribe child seemed to understand the Master’s intentions.

Jia Yan flew onto his shoulder, and then, under Jia Yan’s guidance, the child headed towards his own home.

"Master, what kind of techniques do you know? I felt a bit impulsive earlier, but my dad said that if you learn from others, even before you’ve learned anything, you should show respect, but I also need to know what you plan to teach me; if it’s useless, then forget it."

The Giant Tribe child seemed not entirely foolish, conducting a probe of Jia Yan at this moment.

"Rest assured, since you’ve acknowledged me as your Master, I’ll treat you well, and I’ll teach you the techniques you wish to learn."

Jia Yan spoke casually.

"But Master, although I know you’re strong, my physiques differ from yours, not sure if your techniques will work for me."

The young boy slowly came to realize, feeling that apprenticing to Jia Yan wasn’t that favorable.

"Alright, what I teach you will definitely be good and useful. Just relax."

Seeing the child’s disbelief, Jia Yan’s heart burst with a laugh. This kid doesn’t know if he can teach, yet immediately wanted him to teach—quite peculiar.

After pondering this over, Jia Yan couldn’t understand why, so he attributed it to fate.

Of course, this kind of fate wasn’t exactly what Jia Yan desired.

Sitting on the shoulder of the Giant Tribe child, Jia Yan felt the wind howling past.

The two swiftly traveled the path Jia Yan had just traversed, towards the child’s current place of residence or temporary stay.

Jia Yan’s territory happened to include that area.

Right at the combat courtyard where Jia Yan had just departed, a group of various creatures were already waiting.

They didn’t know the victor, especially several beetle creatures, prepared to escape with their strength if Jia Yan didn’t appear among the mass of creatures.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gathered so many personnel here.

"That Giant Tribe child returned."

"Seems like he was pursuing Lord’s footsteps earlier, not sure if the Giant Tribe child might harm Lord Jia Yan."

"You’re foolish, how would the prestigious Giant Tribe act against an insect in their view? I reckon he chased it somewhere, didn’t see Lord, and played outside before coming back."

A group of creatures saw the towering Giant Tribe child approaching step by step from several kilometers away, making the earth tremble.

"Wait... something seems off, this child..."

"Is there a tiny creature on his shoulder?"

"Let me see, uh, this creature seems somewhat like our Lord Jia Yan."

"No, it’s truly Lord Jia Yan. What’s going on here, how is Lord sitting on a Giant’s shoulder, sneaking up there? Simply suicidal."

Suddenly, a group of strong creatures noticed, on the approaching child’s shoulder, a seemingly tiny creature standing defiantly.
