Chapter 72: The Man who left to

‘I told you, you shouldn't make those kinds of statements.’

"Why do you always have to argue?”

He had not expected Ju-Heon to so ruthlessly beat the Holten family’s eldest son up like that.

It was refreshing to see, but that would be quite the worldly news if it ever got out.

Of course, Irene told him it was fine to beat him up even more. She seemed to have been quite shocked by George Holten’s words.

However, Yoo Jaeha asked an unrelated question.

“But the reason the Holten couple ended up like that. Is it really that friend of theirs who brought the artifact with him?”

“I'm certain. Tomb syndrome usually takes a long time to make a person sick. It would normally take around 10 years to get to that stage. That is why they must have used a disease-type artifact or something to make them sick on purpose.”

Of course, it looked as if George Holten had been investigating the wrong people because he had been told it was done by passing merchants.

‘It might be possible that Irene’s parents were really threatened by them.’

It was still quite weird that the butler was hiding that fact. The criminals might have gotten the parents sick and forced the parents to stay quiet about it.

They probably used some cliche line like how they would not leave the kids alone if the parents told them anything.

‘But was there someone like that in Pandora?’

He had not paid much attention, but there might have been.

“Anyway, the Herb of Eternal Youth is first priority.”

They were currently in Manhattan. Yoo Jaeha found it odd that Ju-Heon was going into the subway.

It was because this place was unrelated to the Herb of Eternal Youth at all.

‘We seem to be tight on time, is it really okay...’

However, Ju-Heon just walked down the stairs following the DOWN sign. They then smelled the stench of trash befitting the infamous New York subway.

Yoo Jaeha started to frown as he asked.

“Ugh, this stench, but Captain-nim, where are we going?”

“Where else? To upgrade the Herb of Eternal Youth.”

“!”

That was indeed the case.

Honestly speaking, there was a reason he couldn’t heal the Holten couple's illnesses right now. The Herb of Eternal Youth was currently just a stamina enhancer as it had not awakened yet. He needed another artifact to awaken it into a true healing artifact.

It was Xu Fu's Artifact.

Xu Fu was the person who went to find the Herb of Eternal Youth after being ordered by Qin Shi Huang. He had supposedly left to find this herb with thousands of virgin boys and girls.

“Then you're saying Xu Fu's artifact is here?”

“You’re quite sharp.”

However, the direction he was walking in after coming down to the platform was odd.

He seemed interested in a chair at the corner of the platform.

Specifically, the homeless person curled up on it.

The homeless person had a hat on his face and a dirty blanket around him. He seemed to have been here a long time.

‘Ugh, the smell of sweat and booze.........’

That was why Yoo Jaeha looked confused as he had no idea what Ju-Heon was doing. Ju-Heon seemed to have come here as if he knew this homeless person was here.

However...

‘He doesn't look like he would know anything about artifacts.’

It wasn’t as if he was here to rob the person.

However, Ju-Heon did something that made Yoo Jaeha gasp.

Boom!

He suddenly kicked the homeless man off the chair! Yoo Jaeha shouted after seeing that.

“H, hold on! Are you crazy? Do you not know how scary the homeless can be?!”

Ju-Heon chuckled and kicked the old man as if telling Jaeha to watch.

“Hey, are you enjoying this homeless life that is not suited for you?”

“No, Captain-nim. If you provoke him like that......”

However, Yoo Jaeha gasped after seeing the homeless man's face as he got up.

“Huh? You are!”
