The Legendary F Rank

Chapter 23: Scammer!

Xue's ears picket up as she heard the voice. She then began to pull Haru down the street toward the sound. "What is it?" Haru said with a smile. She is happy. Haru smiled as he ran along with Xue. After a short jog, they arrived at the front gate.

"You're not Mr. Hao. Ah, yes he said his nephew was coming to stay with him." An old man came out of the security office and smiled at Xue before sticking his hand into his pocket. Xue backed and then sat down and waited quietly. "That's a good girl." The man said as he held out a handful of dog treats.

Xue ate them all at once before the old man turned back to Haru. "So what is your name?" He asked. Haru watched Xue as she was happily licking her lips before he realised the man was talking to him. "Oh, I'm Haru. It's nice to meet you." The man walked back inside the office without saying anything before coming back out a few seconds later. "I'm guessing you are going out to the park? Here use this key card to get back in. I will get you your own card printed by tomorrow."

"The park? Why would I go there? I was just planning to go back soon actually." The man looked at Haru with confusion. "Oh, I assumed you would be taking Xue for one of her long walks." He said before the dog whined out and looked up at Haru. He stared back at her "Fine, We can go to the damn park." Xue jumped up and licked Haru's face. "God! Will you stop with that already!"Xue dropped down to the floor once again before Haru took the card from the old man.

"Thank you. I will be sure to give it back to you next time I see you." Haru called out as Xue pulled him toward the gate. The old man smiled and waved to them both. Xue walked calmly next to Haru as they made their way to the main street. As they walked a lot of cars would beep whilst they speeded past them as people walking along the street began to take pictures of them.

Haru was confused before looking down and realising what he was wearing. It wouldn't have been a problem if he wore those clothes back in the mountains but in the middle of a city wearing the clothes of a cultivator was bound to draw attention. He debated going back to Zen's house but even if he did. The only thing that he would be able to wear was his spare school uniform. And not to mention he grew quite fond of the clothes he was wearing. They were comfortable so he decided to pay it no attention as he carried on toward the park.

As he reached the park he noticed it was quite crowded. There were lines of people queuing for something. As they walked past Haru spotted a man wearing clothes similar to his own. Was this man a cultivator too? Haru walked over toward him and noticed little pieces of paper on the table.

"And here you go. You will now have the greatest Luck for the next two years." The man said to someone in the line as he was handed a stack of money. The man counted the money before handing a piece of paper with the word luck written on it with sloppy handwriting that was barely readable. The man lucked at Haru and then stopped what he was doing. "Hey kid, Do you want to be a cultivator when you grow up?! I like the outfit It is well made." The man said with a huge grin on his face "If it wasn't for my sects rules I would take you as a disciple." The man stared at Haru as the crowd began to chat with each other.

Haru used his spiritual sense to feel the Qi around this man. There was no trace. He wasn't even a cultivator. He got his hopes up for nothing. It would have been nice to meet another cultivator in the city but it turns out he was just a scam artist. Haru began to walk away from the man with Xue following closely behind.

"Hey! Didn't you hear what I said!? How dare you ignore the words of a cultivator!" The man shouted toward Haru who paid no mind to what he had to say before carrying on. Xue turned around and barked at the man who was running toward Haru. He stopped in his tracks. "Damn dog! How can a great cultivator like me be scared of a dog!" The man muttered to himself.

"Hey, Bastard! I'm talking to you!" The man grabbed Haru's shoulder. Xue began to growl at the man and bark viciously as she bared her teeth at him. The man stumbled back at the sight of Xue. "Hey! Control your dog before I kill it for disrespecting me!" The man shouted out as a crowd of people began to form.

"That dog is disrespecting a great cultivator! Kill it!" Someone shouted from the crowd. Haru's blood began to boil. Why would people blindly trust someone who was scamming them? And he actually wants to pick a fight with a kid and a dog? This guy is the lowest of scum. "You know, I was going to ignore your little scam. But you then you had to threaten to kill a dog."

Li Jun came out of the ring laughing. "I knew giving you those clothes would cause trouble but I didn't expect something this insignificant. Let me deal with this I will make him dread seeing another dog for the rest of his life." Li Jun looked at the man who had now become enraged. "In my three hundred years of living, I have never been so disrespected! I will kill your whole family!" Why was he so mad? Was it all just an act to make people believe him?

Xue began to bark at the man once again. Li Jun laughed as he clicked his fingers. The sound wave spiralled around into the air before gently entering the man's ears. He looked down at Xue who was still barking. Her body began to grow larger and larger as her flesh slowly peeled back and dropped onto the floor. Her fur became died red with blood and produced the smell of death. In the man's eyes, he was seeing an eight-foot-tall demon. Xue had now turned into an undead zombie and was slowly approaching him.

The man screamed in pure terror as she approached him! "You demon dog! Don't kill me, please! I'm sorry I won't scam anyone again! I swear I actually love dogs!" He began talking nonsense as he let out one more scream as he fell over and urinated all over himself. The crowd of people all stood confused at the sight. Why was an immortal cultivator crying for his mother? The man closed his eyes and curled up into a ball on the floor and began rocking back and forth. I promise I won't scam people anymore!" He screamed out.

That time what he had said caught the attention of the crowd. "Wait scam!? He was scamming us all this time!?" One man asked out loud. "He must be an escaped lunatic why else would he be screaming?" A woman replied. A few members of the crowd look at each other before looking back to the man crying on the floor. "You bastard! How dare you scam us!" The man opened his eyes and the sight he had seen previously had vanished. Xue was sat down beside Haru and looked over at him confused.

"That dog! It's the devil! Don't let it fool you it will kill us all!" The man screamed out and pointed toward the white ball of fluff beside Haru. Xue whimpered from the insult. "It's okay, girl. He is just a sick man." Haru patted Xue's head as the crowd's mood began to change.

"Give me back my money! That was my life savings!" An old woman came out of the crowd and began to beat the man with her purse. Everybody laughed at the sight. The man began to scream in anger. "How dare you attack a great cultivator, Crazy old hag! I will kill you!" The man reached into his pocket and pulled out a knife and ran toward the old woman.

"Stop!" A man shouted out as a hand grabbed the man's hand. A woman who looked to be in her twenties stepped out from the crowd. She had long blonde hair and was wearing red lensed sunglasses that blocked her gaze that was obviously directed toward Haru. The man stopped suddenly and dropped the knife to the floor. The woman moved her arm so fast into the air that the man's arm popped out of its socket.

He began to scream in pain as he rolled around on the floor once again. "The show is over. Everyone go away now!" Another voice called out as three police officers made their way through before putting the man in handcuffs. "Hey, are you also with him!" One of the officers called out to Haru.

"No, wait a minute." The woman told the officer before walking over. "Are you by any chance called Haru Kitagawa?" The woman asked.
