Inside the bungalow, where the outer disciples lived, stood room 928.
Two outer disciples stopped by its door.
"Well, I guess this is Evan's room. After we knock and enter, we shall treat Evan politely. It is said that
he is Austin's best friend. Austin will definitely not let go of us if we offend him."
"Yes, we've got it. Just take it easy."
One of the disciples cleared his throat before he stepped forward to gently knock on the door.
"Hello, does Evan live here?"
Evan, who was inside, was stunned to hear someone knock and call his name.
"Gosh! Marvin's men might be here again to stir troubles."
"Marvin is really an asshole. He has ransacked and occupied Tin's house. Now, he even intends to
drive us away too," another outer disciple inside Evan's room complained.
"Kaaahhkkk. This doesn't really concern. They will not bother you as long as you leave me alone. Why
are you seeking trouble?"
"Hey, Evan. Don't treat me like an outsider. Tin and I have been good friends since we met in the Beast
Mountain for the first time. Now, we treat each other like brothers. Rest assured, Evan. Tin's
businesses are mine. I swear I will not leave you behind," the outer disciple replied. Then, he paused
and kept silent for a while before he continued, "Wait. Listen carefully. They don't sound like Marvin's
men. Will they call you that politely?"
Evan was stunned as well. He was also confused about why the people outside called him in that polite
manner.
As the outer disciple had reminded him, Evan recalled that Marvin's men just called him shit or bastard.
They would never address him by his name.
"Is Evan here?"
The knock at the door was heard again.
This time, both men inside the room heard it very clearly.
"I told you-they are not Marvin's men."
With this assurance, Evan stood to get the door.
As soon as he opened it, two outer disciples entered the room. The disciples were full of excitement
immediately after they saw Evan.
"Evan, you are really here. We have found you at last. Go and tell Lin that Evan is here."
As ordered, another disciple instantly rushed away to find Austin.
'Lin?' Evan repeated the name in his head.
He was baffled by who Lin was.
"You are..." Before Evan could finish speaking, he paused to think. After some thoughts, he continued,
"Why are you looking for me? Who is Lin?"
Evan questioned, as he was confused by many questions.
"Come on, Evan. Lin is Austin. It was him that asked us to find you."
'Lin?' Evan repeated the name again, trying really hard to remember who that man was. Austin?
It is Tin!
"Is the man you mentioned Tin?"
"Yes, you are right."
'Tin has come back!' Evan silently exclaimed to himself.
Evan was so pleased to hear the good news about Tin that he even forgot the seething pain of his
broken arms.
Meanwhile, a familiar figure showed up outside, walking towards his room—it was Austin.
"Tin, are you okay? Marvin said that you died at the Grand Desolation Mountain. He also declared that
you had paid one-year rent for the house, but since you were dead, the house had no owner. And so,
he occupied the house."
"I have been told all this. Your arms..." Austin worriedly uttered, looking intently at Evan's broken arms.
"I was reluctant to move out of the house. But Marvin's men beat and hurt me."
"Can you still recognize the man who hurt you?"
"Of course, I can. I can recognize him very well, even if he was under a disguise."
"Well, that's great. Now, you and I are going to the Medicine Hall to get some medicines to treat your
injuries. Then, we are going to find the man who hurt you. I will let him suffer much more severe injuries
than you did."
"Tin, but that man is just one of Marvin's many followers. You know, as the saying goes, many hands
provide great strength..."
Evan responded with worries. He didn't want Austin to recklessly fight Marvin's men, knowing that he
was greatly outnumbered.
"Tin, how bold and resolute you are! Evan, don't worry. Haven't I told you? When it comes to Tin's
strengths and skills, nothing is impossible for him."
Unexpectedly, a voice interrupted the conversation between Austin and Evan.
"Tin, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I miss you so much!"
A man came over and patted Austin on his shoulder, looking very familiar.
It was Herbert.
For a while, Austin was a little dazed as to who had interrupted them. In spite of his blurred memory of
the man, he finally recalled his name—Herbert.
"Herbert, do you know Evan? Why are you here?"
Austin saw Herbert as soon as he entered the room.
"Tin, Herbert has been here taking care of me after my arms were broken. He told me that you treated
each other like brothers and were friends who were willing to die for each other."
'We have just met several times. It is not quite appropriate to say that we are ready to die for each
other, ' Austin couldn't help muttering to himself.
But he was quite thankful for Herbert since he had voluntarily looked after Evan. Even though Herbert
tended to be glib-tongued at times, Austin didn't hate the man in other aspects.
"Hmm. Herbert, thanks for looking after Evan."
"Oh, Tin. Don't treat me like a stranger. We are brothers, and our friendship can last forever. Your
affairs, business, and matters are mine too," Herbert replied while patting his chest with great strength,
looking quite heroic. This was what Austin was referring to when he mentioned Herbert to be smooth-
tongued.
"Tin, who are they?" Evan asked, referring to the outer disciples.
At this moment, the seven outer disciples who had come with Austin were still standing at the door,
behind their leader. Evan was a little confused about why these men seemed to treat Austin with great
respect as if they were his subordinates.
"Evan, we will stand by Austin's side and cultivate with him from now on," one of the outer disciples
responded to Evan.
"Ah, Tin, is that true?"
"Yeah. Evan, you can spend more time with them in the future."
"Ahh ha ha. Tin. How awesome of you! You even have followers now," Evan exclaimed in pure bliss.
"Kaaahhkkk. The seven of you need to remember that Tin is my elder brother. He is the first, and I am
the second. Oh, no, no, no. Let me correct myself. Evan is the second, and I am the third. This is the
order of seniority among us. Do you get it?"
Herbert became excited immediately after he heard that the seven outer disciples were Austin's new
followers. At the thought of that, he spouted eloquently to brag about his own position and status with
Austin's circle.
Austin couldn't help rolling his eyes upon hearing Herbert's words. He took Evan by his arm, leaving
with him and all other seven outer disciples.
"Hey, Tin, wait for me. And the seven of you, are you clear about the order of seniority? You should
always show respect to your seniors."
As these words were blurted out of his mouth, Herbert angrily caught up and followed the two.
Austin came to the Medicine Hall with Evan and picked up several kinds of the most valuable
medicines. It cost him about three to four thousand vital energy crystals.
Evan and Herbert felt rather distressed about the hefty amount of money they had spent in medicines,
gritting their teeth as if their hearts were bleeding.
It was because, for the two of them, these vital energy crystals were quite an enormous amount of
wealth already.
However, they were in no position to question Austin's way of spending his fortune.
Aside from that, they knew Austin got a space ring from Raymond, and it had an estimate of two to
three hundred thousand vital energy crystals. It seemed that the top elder of the Flaming Sun Valley
spoiled his grandson a lot. No wonder why Raymond was overtly arrogant, disdainful, and bossy.
But anyway, every penny deserves its value. Even though it had almost cost them three to four
thousand vital energy crystals, the medicines they bought from the Medicine Hall were the most
valuable and effective. After Evan used them, his injuries were immediately healed to a great extent.
Although he still felt a little pain in both of his arms, he had already been able to move around by
himself.
"Now, it is time to take revenge. Evan, let's go and find Marvin's men who bullied you. Let them repay
you double the price."
"Tin, Marvin's strengths seemed to be a little powerful."
Evan hesitated a little because he knew that Marvin was recognized among the top 5 outer disciples.
Although he was certain that Marvin's men were no match for Austin, Evan knew that Marvin himself
was a powerful opponent for Austin.
"Evan, just relax. Marvin was beaten by Austin. It is said that he has planned to meditate in seclusion. If
that is true, his men will be left with no one to lead them."
"Really?"
Evan was pleasantly surprised to hear that. Recently, he had been heavy-hearted and had suffered a
lot because of Marvin.
Besides, Marvin's men had bothered Herbert over and over again recently, just because he took care of
Evan.
"Ahh ha ha. What goes around comes back around. Marvin has gotten what he deserves. I am thrilled
to know this. I will find a string of firecrackers and set it off for celebration later," Herbert suddenly
exclaimed with great excitement.
"Last time, Norris even asked me to climb over below his thighs. Hmm, fortunately, I ran away so fast.
This time, I would like him to climb below my thighs," Herbert complained with a grin on his face.
Hearing Herbert's complaint, Austin realized because he took care of Evan, he had suffered a lot of
pain too.
Austin really appreciated Herbert's help.
"Let's go and take an eye for an eye!"
