Chapter 20:Lost Brother
The arrow shot right into the house and exploded. As Wen got out of the wreckage, he realised part of the househas been destroyed.
Wen
"Are you alright?"
Sherene
"Yeah,but the house has been destroyed."
Wen looked around and saw the arrow.Its was still coated with a small amount of Ki.He then saw a roll of paper attached to the arrow and instinctly read it.
Wen
"Looks like they have no intend to let me off easily."
Sherene
"What's written in it?"
Wen
"A threat.If i don't join the arena,they are going to harm everyone around me."
Sherene
"What's this arena?"
Wen told Sherene everything he knew.
Sherene
"I see,but i can protect myself!"
Wen
"You don't know how strong are they,that arrow was shot from 10km from here."
Sherene
"What?!"
Wen
"And it still possess enough power in it to cause a explosion."
Sherene
"They sure are scary."
Wen
"Looks like i have no choice but to join."
Sherene
"Before that, you have to help me clean up and wait for my brother to come back."
Wen
"Alright."
The next morning,Wen woke up early and decided to train a little.He went under a big tree,
concentrate his Ki into one of his hand until the Ki had its own sharp point.He then use another hand to hit the tree to make all the leaves fall. Followed by a "Dark stride", he sliced every single
leaf into precisely half of what they should have been.
Sherene
"Wow."
Wen
"Oh morning.Did i wake you?"
Sherene
"Not really,i woke up early everyday.You do that everyday?"
Wen
"No?Don't be silly. If i were to do that, i guess sooner or later a forest will be cleared by me."
Both of them laughed.
Sherene
"Anyway,my brother is back.I came by to tell you."
Wen
"Oh OK.Let go back then."
When they went back to the house,Cloud was standing outside the house.
Cloud
"Here,this the things you asked me to check."
Cloud handed over a package.Wen opened it and read it.
Sherene
"What's that?"
Wen
"My brother."
Sherene
"You have a brother?"
Wen
"I didn't know till recently too."
Wen read finish and used his Ki to burn the package.
Wen
"How many people knew about this?"
Cloud
"No one except us.I killed the one that give me the information."
Wen
"Thanks,keep this as a secret between us."
Sherene
"Why?Aren't you happy that you have a brother now?"
Wen
"I can't let him be in danger now,if the clan know about it,they definitely get
him."
Sherene
"Oh ok."
Wen
"Anyway i have another request Cloud."
Cloud
"I know,Sher told me everything.Let go now."
Sherene
"I'm going too!"
Wen
"You sure?Its dangerous."
Cloud
"I guess the most dangerous person right now is her,with that gun in her hand."
Wen
"Ha ha alright then."
Cloud
"Sher hold on to me."
Cloud and Wen used "Dark Stride" and disappeared with the wind........
