In Kentucky, America, in a serene and charming forest, was a unique oak tree.
This oak tree was tall and robust, and it stood out, but that was not why it was unique.
In fact, what made it special was that in between a few of its branches, countless twigs were intertwined in an orderly manner, forming a magical treehouse.
This was a small house with life.
In the small house, a white old man was seated, he had an extremely tall figure, but was exceptionally thin, his cheeks were sunken inwards, and his mustache and hair were white.
This was the great sorcerer from Druid who had just progressed into Lake-level, Abraham Rome.
Before him sat three other people, one of them was a middle-aged man dressed in a brownish grey uniform.
This man in uniform was Eddie, the chief staff officer of Lieutenant General York, he was the one in charge of many confidential matters.
The other two were dressed in suits, they wore glasses with golden rims and carried top grade briefcases. They were gold-medal lawyers temporarily hired from Wall Street.
The most obvious difference was that one was in a white suit while the other was in black.
Most of the time, the appearance fee for lawyers were calculated by hours.
Theirs was by minutes instead.
Summing up the pay for the two of them, every minute spent would be three thousand US dollars…
In actual fact, on usual occasions, they would not request for such a high price, but since this involved an extraordinaire, they naturally overcharged.
At this moment, Staff Officer Eddie did not mutter a word, it was the lawyer in a white suit who was persuading.
"Master Abraham, the Americans need you, the people of the world need you. The cause of the unusual tides and catastrophe is unknown, and they can't be explained by scientific theories. We can only seek help from a mighty existence. Aside from you, who can communicate with nature's will, who else can perform this glorious yet tremendously difficult task?"
"There is the Eastern Pharos, don't you have him?" Master Abraham smiled and said.
"Uh?" Upon hearing that, the lawyer in white suit paused for a while then continued, "But he's just an easterner, we're in America, the heart of the world, how can we expect an easterner to save us? Where is our glory in the past? How can we continue to lead the whole of the western world?"
Abraham stopped smiling and said faintly, "Mr. Lawyer, can I take you as being racist?"
The lawyer in white-suit immediately replied, "No, no, sir, I'm definitely not racist. In my life, I hate two kinds of people the most, one is racists, one is non-whites, and another one is those who are ignorant."
"Edmund, look at you, what are you talking about?" His partner, the lawyer in the black suit, nudged him as he was startled when he heard that.
Edmund the lawyer in white suit regained his consciousness all of a sudden after he heard that, he said with fear, "I'm sorry, I don't know what got into me? Could it be that I was under some sorcery?"
Abraham the Great Master was not enraged, he only furrowed his brows, then a green light flashed past his hand, and he placed it on the lawyer's head.
Afterwards, Lawyer Edmund became clear-headed, he instantly came to a sudden realization.
"I remember, after I received a call yesterday about the hiring, I bumped into a fellow who was rather strange. He was dressed like a gypsy and only said one thing to me, he asked me to speak the truth for the whole day, it was a tough one…"
When Master Abraham listened up till then, his face looked even more terrible.
As Eddie heard that, his face turned ghastly and cold.
Who was it who wanted to obstruct him from convincing Abraham the Great Sorcerer, from finding the truth behind the catastrophe, even if that meant sacrificing lives, from saving the world, and from showing America's glory and prestige to regain their position as the heart of the world?
Countess Barito and the others?
They had insufficient motives to obstruct him.
Those fellows only wished to build Noah's Ark as soon as possible, so that they could take care of themselves as they watched the people from China save the world with all their hearts and efforts.
Nonetheless, this had no conflict with the nature of his standpoint, he wanted America to be the savior, which would not hinder them.
What he was doing was actually helping them on their way to their second insurance, thus they had no reason to stand in his way.
After all, the Eastern Pharos might not actually be reliable.
Deep inside, he looked down on those yellow-skinned people.
Just like the lawyer who was under some sorcery and could only speak nothing but the truth, he was also a white supremacist, he looked down on all non-white races, especially those yellow-skinned people who tried so hard and were always coveting to dominate over America.
From the way he looked at it, those yellow-skinned people were just a bunch of fellows who blindly followed America's suit.
Whatever America did, they did the same…
What a damned new era, it was not a sci-fi world, but was instead one filled with supernatural legends. This was what allowed the yellow-skinned people to get on the heads of the noble whites, and were fortunate to take the lead.
So what if that was it?
America had fine scientific mechanisms, endlessly emerging talents, distinctive geographical advantages, sublime ideas, advanced systems, unparalleled attraction to the whole world, an outstandingly abundant natural resources.
As long as there was more time given, they could definitely crush those yellow-skinned people once again, making them behave well by addressing the whites as their owners.
There was once a useful yellow-skinned dog that died. It really died quite oddly, and it died too soon.
Nevertheless, he did not feel that it was too much of a pity, because there were many yellow-skinned dogs like this, and there would be more in the future.
In the end, America would become the king of the world once again.
When Staff Officer Eddie thought about this, he signaled another lawyer in a black suit, asking him to continue the persuasion.
Therefore, the lawyer in black suit said, "Master, perhaps the Eastern Phason is extremely powerful, but this is a serious matter, we can't put our hopes on just one person, we need to make our own contributions too, just in case."
It was them when Abraham's face became relaxed, he nodded, but just as he wanted to speak, he frowned.
He sensed another immensely powerful person outside the door.
"Who is it?" Abraham reached his hand out and pointed, then the wooden door was suddenly opened.
"Eastern Pharos?" The other three people gasped as well when they saw who was outside the door.
Especially Eddie, his face showed a drastic change.
He subconsciously took a few steps back, and went behind Master Abraham.
When Master Abraham witnessed the situation, he slightly furrowed his brows again.
After that, he greeted him, "Mr. Dragon God from the east, what business do you have here at my place?"
"Acting in the name of justice to eradicate evil beings."
Vigilante A was expressionless, and his speech was chilly.
When Master Abraham heard him, he looked confused, he instantly looked at the three other people.
The two lawyers were drenched in sweat when they heard him, their lives thirty years ago quickly flashed past their minds.
They received money to fake evidence, and helped evil criminals escaped their sentences through legal loopholes…
They suppressed their counterparts, and repressed talented youths from emerging…
Each and every case, once they recalled all of them, their faces turned pale.
If it was not because of their identities as gold-medal lawyers, and the fact that they had experienced various big scenes, they would not be able to stand still right now.
"You've always interrogated others in courts in the name of justice, today, it's finally your turn to be questioned by justice."
The same thought echoed in their minds at the same time.
Just as Abraham was about to speak, the lawyer in the black suit said first, "This is a private residence, without permission, you're not allowed to enter, this is against the law."
Right after the lawyer in black suit finished, he noticed Vigilante A looking right at his direction.
He did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that his eyes shone for a while.
"Oh, there are actually two shrimps. Not bad, not bad."
Followed by that, two vital energy in dragon forms charged towards the two of them.
"Wait a minute," Abraham the Great Sorcerer pointed, then two vines sprang out from the floor of the wooden house, and blocked the front of the two lawyers.
A "bam" sound was heard, and the two vital energies dissipated just like a firework.
As if they had found their savior, the two lawyers quickly hid behind Master Abraham.
It was then that they noticed that their temporary employer, Mr. Eddie, had long hidden behind him already.
They were confused at this moment, could it be that this high-ranking staff officer, who claimed to be a patriot was actually just a sinner like them?
Afterwards, they were relieved, no matter what, right now that had Master Abraham in front of them, looking at their fight just now, they could at least escape from danger.
While Abraham easily defeated Vigilante A's vital energies, he was not contented at all, he was not as positive as the two lawyers.
He knew that the powers of those two vital energies were only going to make them unconscious at most, such that it would not kill them, which was why they were not very powerful.
Faced with the situation, Vigilante A seemed to be startled, he did not speak immediately.
The four of them were somewhat confused, why would Vigilante A be at a daze at a time like this?
Sir System said, "Eh, it's another new situation. Rich man, a good person is protecting three evildoers? What do we do now?"
Fang Ning rolled his eyes. "Give me back my five million and I'll tell you."
Sir System said in a low spirit, "Rich man, I'm doing something serious…"
Fang Ning was speechless. "You really learn quite fast. Alright, I won't charge you, I'll tell you what you should do."
Amid the situation when the four of them were surprised, they heard Vigilante A speak.
"This old man, the three people behind you have committed different crimes, especially the one with the name Eddie Brownhill, he has conducted countless wicked acts. He secretly hosted an evil plan, consumed human lives, and refined demon generals. He's guilty of all monstrous acts, he has caused innumerable innocent people to die."
Upon hearing that, Eddie was not as guilty and timid as the two lawyers, instead he was full of prise. "That's exactly where their glory stands, everything I did was for the better of America, sacrifices are inevitable."
When Abraham heard him, unlike Eddie, a hint of redness could be seen on his thin, sunken face, he had nothing to say in response to that, as if he was extremely embarrassed at the moment.
Back then, this was the reason why he quit the Sorcerer Club.
However, he did not go on to stop them, because Staff Officer Eddie had looked for him once, and even said something to him.
"I'm very fond of many things in Japan, their women, their cherry blossoms, and of course their manga. I've read this one called "The Great Sword" which talked about how humans were willing to implant demon's bodies into themselves in order to gain powers to go against demons, but at last turned into demons themselves.
"Just like that manga, if we don't do that, we won't be able to face the endless crisis that will arise. When our strengths increase in the future, we can naturally bring a halt to this method of quenching our thirsts with poison."
When Master Abraham heard all of that, he chose to isolate himself to cultivate, and was focused on increasing his strength.
This kind old man only hoped that when he became stronger, he could make his beloved nation free from these disgraceful measures.
Now that the Eastern Pharos had visited and criticized the culprit, how was he going to answer?
Right then, he heard Vigilante A continue to question, "Since that's the case, why don't you receive this glory then?
"You first chose prisoners with death sentences, then felons, and when all these were insufficient, you targeted criminals with misdemeanors, and finally searched for tramps by the roads, those living in solitary, and elders with no children or relatives… When a person breaks through a bottom line, he'll quickly slip into the abyss, you're that kind of person now."
Listening up until that point, Eddie said in disdain, "What a joke, what was that? Look at my identity, I have a different responsibility, of course I can't be easily consumed like them.
"Hah, Vigilante A, I know that you hate evil as one does one's enemies, you get rid of sinners and fulfill punishments set by God as your duty.
"But I must seriously remind you not to forget about one thing. I, Eddie Brownhill, though not a powerful extraordinaire, I'm not a normal person too, behind me stands America…
"You can punish the sinners or beasts and creatures on the streets of New Netherlands, America won't be wasting precious resources at this time or bother about you, but I'm different."
Once he said that, the four of them witnessed Vigilante A disappear from the scene.
When the two lawyers saw what had happened, they first laughed out loud.
The lawyer in the white suit took the opportunity to convince Master Abraham again. "Master, you saw what happened, didn't you? It's because of the reputation that America has built up from the past that the invincible Vigilante A will back away.
"If not, based on your powers, even if you manage to attack him, it'll be tough for you to protect the three of us. Hence, this is more the reason for us to continue protecting its prestige, so that we're able to shock extraordinaires who know no boundaries."
Master Abraham was in a complicated mood, he did not say a word for a very long time.
…
Somewhere up above the sky, Sir System was dissatisfied.
"Host, why didn't you let me kill those three fellows at once, the old man is quite powerful, but he's not a match for me."
Fang Ning tried his best to comfort this problematic System, he said, "I understand, you're awesome, Sir, but don't be so simple-minded, this is the real world after all. Even though you shouldn't let some spots go, you can't just farm them without thinking too, you must use some knowledge.
"Out of these three spots, you can just beat up those two lawyers conveniently. As for the evil fellow Eddie, I'll tell you what you should do…"
…
At 1 AM late in the night, America's Special Affairs Investigation Bureau turned turmoil.
Chief Hook received an emergency order for a work trip.
In a luxurious villa.
He put on an act an inspected the corpse personally, then he signed on an autopsy report.
"Villa owner: Staff Officer Member XXXXX. Cause of death: Staying up late at night for work, causing a sudden stop to his heart. After verification, there's not trace of any extraordinary power, it was entirely natural causes that caused the accidental death.
Signed: Hook Smith."
After Hook signed, he thought coldly, if that was the case, who still dared to devise a plan against his powerful chip?
Wherever the Eastern Pharos was watching over, nobody would go there again. That was because none of those people were clean.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

He was dressed like a gypsy and only said one thing to me, he asked me to speak the truth for the whole day, it was a tough one"When Master Abraham listened up till then, his face looked even more terrible.As Eddie heard that, his face turned ghastly and cold.Who was it who wanted to obstruct him from convincing Abraham the Great Sorcerer, from finding the truth behind the catastrophe, even if that meant sacrificing lives, from saving the world, and from showing America's glory and prestige to regain their position as the heart of the world?Countess Barito and the others?They had insufficient motives to obstruct him.Those fellows only wished to build Noah's Ark as soon as possible, so that they could take care of themselves as they watched the people from China save the world with all their hearts and efforts.Nonetheless, this had no conflict with the nature of his standpoint, he wanted America to be the savior, which would not hinder them.What he was doing was actually helping them on their way to their second insurance, thus they had no reason to stand in his way.After all, the Eastern Pharos might not actually be reliable.Deep inside, he looked down on those yellow-skinned people.Just like the lawyer who was under some sorcery and could only speak nothing but the truth, he was also a white supremacist, he looked down on all non-white races, especially those yellow-skinned people who tried so hard and were always coveting to dominate over America.From the way he looked at it, those yellow-skinned people were just a bunch of fellows who blindly followed America's suit.Whatever America did, they did the sameWhat a damned new era, it was not a sci-fi world, but was instead one filled with supernatural legends. This was what allowed the yellow-skinned people to get on the heads of the noble whites, and were fortunate to take the lead.So what if that was it?America had fine scientific mechanisms, endlessly emerging talents, distinctive geographical advantages, sublime ideas, advanced systems, unparalleled attraction to the whole world, an outstandingly abundant natural resources.As long as there was more time given, they could definitely crush those yellow-skinned people once again, making them behave well by addressing the whites as their owners.There was once a useful yellow-skinned dog that died. It really died quite oddly, and it died too soon.Nevertheless, he did not feel that it was too much of a pity, because there were many yellow-skinned dogs like this, and there would be more in the future.In the end, America would become the king of the world once again.When Staff Officer Eddie thought about this, he signaled another lawyer in ablack suit, asking him to continue the persuasion.Therefore, the lawyer in black suit said, "Master, perhaps the Eastern Phason is extremely powerful, but this is a serious matter, we can't put our hopes on just one person, we need to make our own contributions too, just in case."It was them when Abraham's face became relaxed, he nodded, but just as he wanted to speak, he frowned.He sensed another immensely powerful person outside the door."Who is it?" Abraham reached his hand out and pointed, then the wooden door was suddenly opened."Eastern Pharos?" The other three people gasped as well when they saw who was outside the door.Especially Eddie, his face showed a drastic change.He subconsciously took a few steps back, and went behind Master Abraham.When Master Abraham witnessed the situation, he slightly furrowed his brows again.After that, he greeted him, "Mr. Dragon God from the east, what business do you have here at my place?""Acting in the name of justice to eradicate evil beings."Vigilante A was expressionless, and his speech was chilly.When Master Abraham heard him, he looked confused, he instantly looked at the three other people.The two lawyers were drenched in sweat when they heard him, their lives thirty years ago quickly flashed past their minds.They received money to fake evidence, and helped evil criminals escaped their sentences through legal loopholesThey suppressed their counterparts, and repressed talented youths from emergingEach and every case, once they recalled all of them, their faces turned pale.If it was not because of their identities as gold-medal lawyers, and the fact that they had experienced various big scenes, they would not be able to stand still right now."You've always interrogated others in courts in the name of justice, today, it's finally your turn to be questioned by justice."The same thought echoed in their minds at the same time.Just as Abraham was about to speak, the lawyer in the black suit said first, "This is a private residence, without permission, you're not allowed to enter, this is against the law."Right after the lawyer in black suit finished, he noticed Vigilante A looking right at his direction.He did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that his eyes shone for a while."Oh, there are actually two shrimps. Not bad, not bad."Followed by that, two vital energy in dragon forms charged towards the two of them."Wait a minute," Abraham the Great Sorcerer pointed, then two vines sprang out from the floor of the wooden house, and blocked the front of the two lawyers.A "bam" sound was heard, and the two vital energies dissipated just like a firework.As if they had found their savior, the two lawyers quickly hid behind Master Abraham.It was then that they noticed that their temporary employer, Mr. Eddie, had long hidden behind him already.They were confused at this moment, could it be that this high-ranking staff officer, who claimed to be a patriot was actually just a sinner like them?Afterwards, they were relieved, no matter what, right now that had Master Abraham in front of them, looking at their fight just now, they could at least escape from danger.While Abraham easily defeated Vigilante A's vital energies, he was not contented at all, he was not as positive as the two lawyers.He knew that the powers of those two vital energies were only going to make them unconscious at most, such that it would not kill them, which was why they were not very powerful.Faced with the situation, Vigilante A seemed to be startled, he did not speak immediately.The four of them were somewhat confused, why would Vigilante A be at a daze at a time like this?Sir System said, "Eh, it's another new situation. Rich man, a good person is protecting three evildoers? What do we do now?"Fang Ning rolled his eyes. "Give me back my five million and I'll tell you."Sir System said in a low spirit, "Rich man, I'm doing something serious"Fang Ning was speechless. "You really learn quite fast. Alright, I won't charge you, I'll tell you what you should do."Amid the situation when the four of them were surprised, they heard Vigilante A speak."This old man, the three people behind you have committed different crimes, especially the one with the name Eddie Brownhill, he has conducted countless wicked acts. He secretly hosted an evil plan, consumed human lives, and refined demon generals. He's guilty of all monstrous acts, he has caused innumerable innocent people to die."Upon hearing that, Eddie was not as guilty and timid as the two lawyers, instead he was full of prise. "That's exactly where their glory stands, everything I did was for the better of America, sacrifices are inevitable."When Abraham heard him, unlike Eddie, a hint of redness could be seen on his thin, sunken face, he had nothing to say in response to that, as if he was extremely embarrassed at the moment.Back then, this was the reason why he quit the Sorcerer Club.However, he did not go on to stop them, because Staff Officer Eddie had looked for him once, and even said something to him."I'm very fond of many things in Japan, their women, their cherry blossoms, and of course their manga. I've read this one called "The Great Sword" which talked about how humans were willing to implant demon's bodies into themselves in order to gain powers to go against demons, but at last turned into demons themselves."Just like that manga, if we don't do that, we won't be able to face the endless crisis that will arise. When our strengths increase in the future, we can naturally bring a halt to this method of quenching our thirsts with poison."When Master Abraham heard all of that, he chose to isolate himself to cultivate, and was focused on increasing his strength.This kind old man only hoped that when he became stronger, he could make his beloved nation free from these disgraceful measures.Now that the Eastern Pharos had visited and criticized the culprit, how was he going to answer?Right then, he heard Vigilante A continue to question, "Since that's the case, why don't you receive this glory then?"You first chose prisoners with death sentences, then felons, and when all these were insufficient, you targeted criminals with misdemeanors, and finally searched for tramps by the roads, those living in solitary, and elders with no children or relatives When a person breaks through a bottom line, he'll quickly slip into the abyss, you're that kind of person now."Listening up until that point, Eddie said in disdain, "What a joke, what was that? Look at my identity, I have a different responsibility, of course I can't be easily consumed like them."Hah, Vigilante A, I know that you hate evil as one does one's enemies, you get rid of sinners and fulfill punishments set by God as your duty."But I must seriously remind you not to forget about one thing. I, Eddie Brownhill, though not a powerful extraordinaire, I'm not a normal person too, behind me stands America"You can punish the sinners or beasts and creatures on the streets of New Netherlands, America won't be wasting precious resources at this time or bother about you, but I'm different."Once he said that, the four of them witnessed Vigilante A disappear from the scene.When the two lawyers saw what had happened, they first laughed out loud.The lawyer in the white suit took the opportunity to convince Master Abraham again. "Master, you saw what happened, didn't you? It's because of the reputation that America has built up from the past that the invincible Vigilante A will back away."If not, based on your powers, even if you manage to attack him, it'll be tough for you to protect the three of us. Hence, this is more the reason for us to continue protecting its prestige, so that we're able to shock extraordinaires who know no boundaries."Master Abraham was in a complicated mood, he did not say a word for a very long time.Somewhere up above the sky, Sir System was dissatisfied."Host, why didn't you let me kill those three fellows at once, the old man is quite powerful, but he's not a match for me."Fang Ning tried his best to comfort this problematic System, he said, "I understand, you're awesome, Sir, but don't be so simple-minded, this is the real world after all. Even though you shouldn't let some spots go, you can't just farm them without thinking too, you must use some knowledge."Out of these three spots, you can just beat up those two lawyers conveniently. As for the evil fellow Eddie, I'll tell you what you should do"At 1 AM late in the night, America's Special Affairs Investigation Bureau turned turmoil.Chief Hook received an emergency order for a work trip.In a luxurious villa.He put on an act an inspected the corpse personally, then he signed on an autopsy report."Villa owner: Staff Officer Member XXXXX. Cause of death: Staying up late at night for work, causing a sudden stop to his heart. After verification, there's not trace of any extraordinary power, it was entirely natural causes that caused the accidental death.Signed: Hook Smith."After Hook signed, he thought coldly, if that was the case, who still dared to devise a plan against his powerful chip?Wherever the Eastern Pharos was watching over, nobody would go there again. That was because none of those people were clean.
