Chapter 1923
“All the power of this world is in the hands of the sects. I think the strongest martial artist of Zenith Sun
City is only in the innate level, and that it’s the city master of the Zenith Sun City, who’s in the
intermediate stage of the innate level. The masters who are in the premium stage of the innate level or
stronger than this level have remained in the sect. After all, only the sect has a large amount of
resources to support their training. To be frank, Zenith Sun City is only a city of commoners.” Jackie
slowly nodded.
If the strongest people in this city were only in the intermediate stage of the innate level, that was fine
for him. With this in mind, he decided to bring Kylie out for fun. As long as he was fully aware of his
surroundings, trouble would not come to them.
Kylie was overjoyed when she heard that her father was bringing her out to play. After all, she was just

relatives in the Mustard Seed.
Jackie led Kylie out of the inn. The two of them did not go to the busiest streets. After all, that place
was filled with people, and accidents were prone to happen. Jackie merely led Kylie to a street nearby
the inn.
Although this was not as busy as the main street, there were still many people who sold nice toys and
delicious food. Kylie looked around happily as soon as she got to the street. Although Kylie was young,
she knew that her father was not rich after entering this world.
She did not ask for everything. Instead, she only picked a couple of toys and food that had a midrange
price. Jackie touched Kylie’s head and said, You don’t need to be frugal because of me; they’re just a
few toys and food. I’d be doing a poor job if I can’t even pay for you.“

Kylie knew that her father was joking with her and happily chirped, “I’m not saving money for you. I like
these small toys more! Those expensive ones might not be fun nor delicious.”
The father-daughter pair happily chatted away when a wave of disturbance suddenly happened in front
of them. Jackie frowned as he pulled Kylie behind him. He looked up and saw a person in tattered
clothes and spells on his face stumbling out of an alleyway.
This person looked really pitiful. Their clothes were in stripes as if they had gone through some
whipping punishment, turning him into how they were. That person also had black curses carved on
their face. These curses looked like earthworms that were alive and crawled all over their face. It
looked bizarre and horrifying at the same time.
This person’s face was covered by the black curses, making it difficult to distinguish if this individual
was a man or woman. Everyone else scattered at the sight of this person as though they had seen the

Kylie stood behind Jackie and stretched out her small hand to pull on his sleeve. “That person looks so
pitiful, Father. What happened to him? Why does he have that thing all over his face?”
Jackie slightly frowned. He would have had the intention to investigate this matter any other day, but
Kylie was with him at that moment. He would not look into what was happening if he had such
thoughts.
He stretched out his hand and pulled Kylie. It did not matter why that person appeared here. In Jackie’s
opinion, this place had become a place of gossip, and he did not want to remain any longer. However,
just as he wanted to pull Kylie away, the person with spells all over their face suddenly raised their
head. A hint of hopefulness suddenly appeared in their grey eyes when they saw Kylie.
They staggered toward Jackie as they whimpered, “I beg you, please, save me. I’ve been pitiful all this
while, being their captive for many years! They keep starving me! Can I have a bite of the food in your
hands?”
