Although Zebrel said this, he could not hide the smile on his face, and his weathered face looked much younger because of his smile.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
"The touching relationship between father and daughter almost brought me to tears."
Just as Zebrel and Jade were talking and laughing, a mocking admiration came from the side.
"Who is it? What does it have to do with you that I'm talking to dad?"
"Jade! Come behind me!"
"Dad..."
Jade looked relaxed and contented, but that was not the case with Zhebrele. The smile on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by incomparable vigilance and shock.
Jade had never seen her father show such an expression, even when they were once surrounded by a swarm of monsters while escorting a caravan.
She silently retreated behind Jebelele and said no more words. But if you are careful, you will find that the water in the fist blade in her hand is already rushing.
"Jebele, this is how you treat me when we meet old friends?" Sameer walked over with his arms folded. He looked at the lion-like Jebelele and shook his head with a smile.
Looking up and seeing Jade who was also vigilant behind Jebelele, Sameer stretched out his arms and said in a soft tone:
"Little Jiede, come here and show your uncle. I hugged you when you were a child!"
"Go away! Sameer! I have severed ties with you! Don't bother me! Otherwise..."
Zebrel pulled off his heavy ax which was covered with black cloth, and lightning flashed on it.
The tense atmosphere caused many dining customers to abandon their food and run out of the restaurant. The shopkeeper at the counter even squatted on the ground with his head in his hands in panic.
He glanced at the two people's positions from time to time, and the Void Terminal beside his ears shone slightly.
"Don't be so nervous. Did I say that this visit is for the tribe and Thutmose?"
"Look, I didn't even bring any weapons. Don't mess with the Thirty Men. It's no big deal to me, but your dream of a peaceful life is about to be ruined."
Seeing Jibril, who looked like a lion with explosive hair, Sameer bent down and exposed his empty back.
"Dad..., is he really your friend?" Seeing the arrogance emanating from the person in front of her, Jade couldn't help but clench the fist blade in her hand tighter.
"Of course. Calculating the time, your father and I haven't seen each other for about ten years, right?"
Sameer straightened up and threw a bag of mola at the counter.
"Boss, let me rent the second floor for a while. Don't let me see the thirty-man group and others coming up."
"otherwise……"
"boom!"
Sameer slammed the table in front of him, and the huge force suddenly turned the solid wood dining table into countless flying splinters.
"By the way, the money for this table is already included in the bag I threw to you."
Looking back at the alert Jebelele and the somewhat dazed Jide, Sameer walked up to the second floor without even thinking.
In the huge restaurant, only Zebrel and Jade, who looked uncertain, were left, as well as the boss who poked his head out of the counter from time to time.
"Dad, what should I do?" Jade stepped on the table fragments on the ground. The strength of this guy named "Samer" should not be underestimated.
"Go up, you are being targeted by the poisonous snakes of the desert. Facing the problem head-on is the only way to solve it."
Jibrele sighed, put his heavy ax on his back, and led Jade up to the second floor.
……
"Squeak~, squeak~"
The sound of dull footsteps came, and each step was accompanied by the overwhelming creak of the stairs.
A sturdy figure gradually appeared in the direction of the corridor, and Zhebrele walked up step by step.
"So many years of stable life have not worn away your skills, Jebelele, it is rare."
Sameer leaned against the window with a nonchalant look on his face.
"Because I know that there is still a poisonous snake like you that needs to be dealt with." Jebelele raised his head and glanced at his former companion and now his enemy.
"Tsk, then you have to go to the desert. After all, if you kill people in Xumi City, the Order will investigate, right?"
Sameer sneered and ridiculed all of Jibril's words. He and Jebelele were equally strong in strength. The reason why he dared to meet Jebelele without weapons was because he understood his current desire to live a stable life.
"I have many ways to make you disappear without a trace." Jebelele pulled a chair over and sat down.
"Of course I know this. After all, you learned a lot from me. Come on, Jade can sit down even if you are standing."
Sameer said, and greeted Jade enthusiastically.
Blocking the tea that Samer pushed over, Jebelel didn't want to make excuses with him anymore.
"Tell me, why are you looking for me? If I go back to the desert, get out!" His eyes were fixed on Sameer, and Jibrele seemed to want to see him thoroughly inside and out.
It's a pity that Samer's thoughts behind his mask and blindfold are not so easy to see clearly. The doubts in Jebelel's heart did not diminish but increased.
"You still have the key from more than ten years ago, right?"
"You want it? Take it."
Without saying a word, Zhebrele threw a triangular gadget hanging on his waist.
"It seems that you have really become a lot weaker after taking on responsibilities." Samer took the key and glanced at Jade next to Jebelele.
Hearing Sameer's sarcasm and noticing his gaze, Jibrele did not refute, he just said lightly:
"That's the case under normal circumstances, but don't try my limits. I guarantee that my current limits are far from what I used to be."
"I know, I know." Sameer nodded in agreement.
"Is there anything else?" Zhebrele was already very impatient.
"Recommend me a scholar who is proficient in the symbols and texts of ancient civilizations..." Sameer was not polite. He seemed to have thought of something, paused, and then continued:
"There are also gossips about the Imperial Academy, just talk about them casually."

"Scholar? You haven't given up on that meaningless delusion yet?" Zebrel frowned upon hearing this, and was about to leave with Jade.
He no longer wants to have anything to do with the Imperial Academy and the Red King. To be honest, living a peaceful life in Xumi City is his greatest ideal now.
"No point? But I have already made progress. As long as I am well prepared, it is easy to start a golden dream!"
"Besides, this seems to be Yuffie's and your own wish, right?"
Sameer's words were full of endless temptation, as tempting as honey. But Jebelele could see the snake venom under the honey. After taking a few deep breaths, he slowly said:
"Samer, if you don't want to be torn into pieces by me now, get out of here!"
"Bah!"
The thunderbolt from Jibril's heavy ax struck Sameer's face. He slapped the table and stood up, pulling Jade with him and preparing to leave.
However, before leaving, he still did not forget Samer's last request to him.
"The information you need is on the bulletin board of the Order! Go and read it yourself!"
"I've said everything I can say, don't bother me again, otherwise..."
Jibrele glanced back at Samer, who was calm and composed, and his sharp eyes made the latter freeze.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
The dull footsteps gradually faded away, and Samer finally came back to his senses from the trance just now.
"Huh... emotions... it seems that they are not useless..."
Recalling the look in Jebelele's eyes when he left, it was something he had never seen before.
Emotion can turn into power, and sometimes it is no worse than the limit bursting out from the horror of life and death.
……
After walking out of the restaurant, Zebrel led Jade back and forth through the cobweb-like alleys.
Jade followed Jibril for a while, but she still didn't see any sign of her father stopping, so she used her arm strength to break away from Jibril's hand.
"Dad, who is he? Your former enemy?"
"Enemy..." Zebraile stopped when he saw the confusion and fatigue on Jade's face.
Jade's question made him lower his head and think for a while, and then he nodded.
"Yes, they are enemies. I have broken up with them since more than ten years ago."
"Then what are you waiting for? No one wants to have a snake and scorpion following him, dad, why not..."
"What did you say, Jade?" Zebraile couldn't help but turned around in surprise when he heard Jade's words.
His expression of uncertainty was so clear that anyone who was not blind could see it.
"I said... let's find a chance for the two of us to kill that guy just now!"
Jade looked at the deserted alley, leaned her head over and whispered.
"..."
After making sure that he had heard correctly, Jebelel began to look at his daughter carefully.
The blue-purple twin ponytails, combined with the gold-woven red silk on the face, all give people an eccentric and unpredictable feeling.
The girl is very beautiful, and her whole body is full of endless vitality, but her face shows a trace of ferocity that should not be present at her age.
"Bring the fist blade in your hand." Without saying a word, Zheberel directly took the weapon from Jade's hand.
"Huh? Dad, what are you doing?" Jade looked at her empty hands, and looked puzzledly at Jebelele, who was packing his fist blades.
"Don't do anything, you are a girl. It is best not to get involved in fighting and killing."
"This set of weapons is not suitable for you. I will keep it for you first and then give it to you when you grow up."
After packing the weapons, Zhebrele wiped the sweat from his forehead with some fear.
The weapon he gave to Jade contained a parasitic Zhenling. Although he had specifically chosen it, the Zhenling inside was a slightly quieter one.
