Chapter 81 Two Gold Coin
"Our Northern Wasteland will be peaceful for some time," Felipe said, his tone firm and serious. "This will be our golden growth period. We must become as strong as possible before chaos erupts."
"So, what about this Orc Main Tribe? Are we not going to attack it?" Luis questioned Felipe.
Felipe smiled and looked at Luis. Sometimes, words weren't necessary—just a smile could speak volumes.
Just a look could convey what years of experience had taught him.
"This trip will be a waste if we don't do anything; I will deliver the head of Prince Gombak first. Those orcs must feel fear."
Without waiting for a reply, Luis stepped forward, took a sack containing Gombak head, and entered inside the vortex.
But within moments, Luis returned, stepping out of the vortex as quickly as he had entered. His expression was a little different now—more thoughtful, more cautious.
"Sorry Father, With my strength increasing, I became a little arrogant. My mind is a little clouded. There's no need to alert the Orcs yet. I don't have to show our hands too soon."
Felipe watched him in silence; his earlier smile now tinged with approval.
"This is normal. When strength increases, thoughts often become distorted. It's good that you've regained your rationality."
Felipe's gaze softened as he continued, "Honestly, I was worried before. I thought, with your rapid growth, you might stop respecting me as your father."
Luis looked up when he heard his father.
"I'd never do that. I've always respected you, and I won't let anything come between us."
"That's what I want to hear. Power can challenge the closest bonds, but it should never break them. I'm proud of you for understanding that."

Five days passed by.
The travel of ten days was totally wasted. Sometimes, plans can take unexpected turns and change entirely.
This is true happiness for him.
He didn't want to obsess over the pursuit of strength. He wants to gain strength to influence the people and world around him. He wants to leave a positive mark on the world.
Just wanting to gain strength, what is the difference between this and a ruthless person?
Lost in thought, Luis made his way to the stall market, where he had first arrived in this cultivation world.
He began to roam around these bustling areas, trying to find any familiar things. Over the past month, the town had flourished, transforming so much that nearly everything was unrecognizable.
"Huh! This old man looks familiar." Luis finally saw a familiar figure and headed towards the stall.
He took out two gold coins from his pocket and threw them in front of the stall counter.
He pulled out two gold coins from his pocket and tossed them onto the stall counter. The old man's eyes widened with greed as he quickly snatched up the coins, hiding them away before finally looking up at Luis.
The old man narrowed his eyes, clearly struggling to recognize him.
"Old Man, you once told me I had an immortal fate. You'd better give me the method to immortality, or else the consequences could be quite severe."
Luis said with a serious face, but he was smiling secretly. Stay updated via empire
The old man continued to stare at Luis, still failing to recognize him.
"Who are you, Young Man? You must have come to the wrong place. I don't know anything about immortals. Aren't immortals just a fairy tale?" He replied, quickly evading Luis's gaze after speaking.
Luis raised his eyebrows, noticing the old man's evasive behavior. As his strength had grown, so had his perceptive abilities. He could see the subtle shifts in the old man's expression, the flicker of apprehension that passed over his face.
The old man was definitely hiding something.
Luis leaned in closer, "Don't lie to me,"
Luis said, his voice dropping to a cold, threatening tone. "I can see it in your eyes. What are you really hiding?"
[This old man was mentioned in chapter 2].
