KMA: Kickass Man A Is Back novel Chapter 21

The old man who called himself Zander Scott said a lot of things to praise Atlas.

Atlas did not say a word and kept looking at him with strange eyes.

"Ahem! Lad, do you have anything to eat? Those guys tied me up for a whole day. I haven't eaten a single thing!"

Seeing that Atlas was not interested in his compliments, Zander changed the topic.

Atlas threw him a bag of bread.

Zander immediately tore open the bag and took a bite. It seemed that he was really hungry.

"Who are you? Why did they tie you up?" Atlas asked.

Hearing Atlas asking about his identity, Zander immediately puffed up his chest and looked up at the night sky.

"I'm Zander Scott, the only descendant of the 136th generation of the Gile School, a prestigious geomancy master! Boy, you must've heard of me, right? Surprised?" Zander put on a smug face.

"The Gile School founded by the Sage Bruce Gile?" Atlas asked.

Zander gave him another thumbs-up, "You are knowledgeable. That's the one"

"Isn't Bruce Gile best at military tactics and politics? When did he start studying geomancy?" A hint of sarcasm appeared in Atlas' eyes.

"Ahem ahem..." Zander was almost choked to death by a mouthful of bread. He quickly explained, "What do you know? The Sage was like an encyclopedia. Geomancy was a piece of cake for him!"

"You're lucky today. Since you saved me, as long as you pay me 2000 bucks, I'll take you as my disciple. What do you think?"

Atlas continued to stare at him silently.

"Kid, I normally won't accept disciples no matter how much money you give me. You saved my life and I saw that you're quite talented. That's why I wanted to take you as my disciple. If you miss this chance, you're gonna regret it!"

Zander looked at Atlas, as if he had really compromised a great deal of his own interest.

Atlas was impassive. "Since you are so great, why were you almost buried alive?"

Zander rolled his eyes and suddenly sighed. "Alas, don't mention it. It's all my fault for being too soft-hearted. Today, I have taught the three of them geomancy, which already reached the daily limit. But an official knelt in front of me and begged me to help him. I thought he was very sincere, so I made an exception and agreed."

"However, Master had specially warned me when he taught me Star Methods of Geomancy. I could at most give three people some pointers a day. If there were more than three people, something would happen and my life would be shortened!"

"But I was soft-hearted, so I went with the official. As a result, I made a mistake when I helped him inspect the house. I followed the trace and accidentally found the place where he hid his little mistress."

"His wife new and of course blew up, and the two of them fought fiercely. That official was so angry that he said that I was someone hired by his wife and he tied me up."

"I didn't expect him to be so crazy as to want my life!"

Atlas naturally would not believe Zander's words.

The fact that he had offended the official might be true. As for other people begging him, and the limitation of helping only three people a day, these were very likely his nonsense.

However, since he was able to find out the man's mistress, surely he did have some skills, but not proficient enough.

After some analysis, Atlas felt that Zander was a charlatan, who had been taken revenge for cheating.

"Kid, have you made up your mind? Do you want to be my disciple?" Zander was still trying to tempt Atlas.

Atlas did not want to waste any more time with him. He stood up and walked back to the stone. "You can go now."
