Chapter - 3162

With a tremble in his voice, Richard said, "Of course, I want to live."

Yuvan demanded, "Then go and slap her a few times."

"All right, all right." For Richard, slapping Olga a few times didn't weigh on his conscience at all.

If slapping her a few times could solve his pressing problem, why wouldn't he be happy to do it?

Yuvan released Richard, who then walked toward Olga.

Olga was still cursing under her breath, "D*mn you, Yuvan. You've become gutsy, huh? Without me, you'll be left on your own, freezing to death on the streets. Hurry up and rescind your order. Otherwise, I'll have you sleeping on the streets..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Richard's slap had already landed on her cheek. Olga screamed in pain while blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

Richard was ruthless in his actions, venting all his anger on Olga.

With a serious expression, Yuvan said, "Richard, remember this. This is a matter between us. It has nothing to do with others. If you still have an issue, bring it to me. I'm ready anytime. If it comes to it, I'm not afraid to stake my worthless life. However, if you dare harm my family, I won't hesitate to bring you down with me!"

Richard said, "Yes, yes... No, no, you're overthinking it, Yuvan. I hold no grudges against you. Our past grievances have been settled."

Yuvan took several deep breaths, adjusted his emotions, and walked over to Francine, his face full of guilt. "Francine, I'm sorry for not being able to welcome you properly. Ah, I'm such a useless brother. You and your friend should leave quickly. Don't let this matter involve the two of you."

Francine patted the dust off Yuvan's shoulder, "Yuvan, let's leave together."

Yuvan shook his head. "I can't escape. You know, they have people watching me, not allowing me to leave this village."

Francine's face turned somber. "Yuvan, I can't hide it any longer... Father has passed away."

Yuvan looked at Francine in disbelief, "He was perfectly fine the last time I saw him. How could he suddenly die?"

Francine said, "It's a long story. Yuvan, I beg you not to blame Father. In truth, his actions over the past few years were not his true intentions. This is a long story, so I'll tell you all about it on our journey."

Yuvan was momentarily unable to process such a large amount of information, standing rigidly in place.

Francine simply pulled Yuvan along as they walked outside.

Yuvan still had reservations. "Even though Father has passed away, Felix is still alive. He will continue to have people watching me... If I leave, the Xenos family will strike against us. Given our current strength, we are no match for the Xenos family."

Zeke patted Yuvan on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll take care of things with the Xenos family for you.”

As soon as Zeke began to speak, Yuvan focused his attention entirely on the former. "May I ask who are you? Your divine assistance just now almost saved my life."

Francine looked puzzled as she asked, "Divine assistance? What is divine assistance?"

"When I was completely drained, your friend infused me with boundless strength psychically, restoring me to my peak condition."

Francine didn't really engage with martial arts. When she heard Yuvan mention “infusing me with strength psychically," she found it magical and covered her mouth in surprise.

Zeke said, "It's confidential for now. When the time is right, I will tell you."

Francine voiced her dissatisfaction, "Playing mysterious, are we?"

Yuvan also appeared disappointed.

Eagerly, he asked, "May I dare to inquire if you are open to accepting disciples, sir? I am willing to join under your tutelage. In the future, I will follow you through thick and thin, even unto death, without hesitation."

Zeke said, "Even though you have a good talent for martial arts, you're too old and far from qualified to be my disciple. However, I will introduce you to another master."

With gratitude, Yuvan said, "Thank you, sir." The people around him must also be extraordinary individuals, and the master he introduced to me will surely be no less exceptional.
