Chapter 90: ’Treasure from Heaven’

Iris couldn’t figure out why Michael would punch himself unconscious. If this was a real fight, he’d definitely be dead, no doubt.

“You think I wouldn’t kill you, so you were confident doing that? Or did you think I’d feel sorry for you and not hit you? Hmph, if I wanted to beat you until you were flat on your back for at least half a month, then I’m definitely going to beat you.”

Trying to force her with morality? Sorry, right now she’s more like a dragon or a god than a human. Human morality can’t force her. If she’s not happy, then it’s all meaningless.

She raised her spear high, with not a single trace of mercy in her eyes, and kept swinging it hard at Michael…

After who knows how long, Leo finally saw Iris come back. This scene, you could say, left a strong impression on him. He saw her carrying something in her hand that he couldn’t quite make out the shape of.

If that thing weren’t giving off a faint breath, he’d have really thought that the genie Michael came to this continent and died young before even doing anything.

“He actually did what I guessed?”

Before, he was just talking nonsense, but looking at the situation, the damage made him not dare to be sure, yet it turned out to be true.

“Hmph, don’t bring it up. Or I’ll hit you too.” Iris glared at Leo.

“Fine. Won’t talk then. So, from now on, you’re living with us?”

Leo didn’t have a hobby of getting abused like Michael, so he wouldn’t say anything stupid. He was grown up now. The things he cared about were much more serious.

“Of course. If I’m not here, how could Michael receive my enthusiastic training?”

Such righteous and dignified words. Someone who didn’t know better would even think she was a coach dedicated to her job.

Leo’s eyelid twitched slightly, and at the same time, his gaze stopped on Michael. In that state, could he really withstand a round of training?

But, thinking about it carefully, it wasn’t impossible. Michael’s potential was terrifying, after all.

His human body could be considered the limit, plus the recovery speed boost from his Master Chef status, and the almost endless supply of energy and holy herbs from Iris.

Every single one of the advantages above is something a normal person couldn’t have in their entire life, yet he had three at once.

Someone born extraordinary should bear extraordinary responsibility. Having talent but not risking everything to strive is an insult to Michael himself.

“You take him back and do whatever. I need to talk to Raphael for a bit.”

Even though Raphael was Leo’s father, Iris’s way of talking to both of them was equal. That’s because she didn’t care about age, but if you considered seniority by age, then on this continent, she was the oldest.

“Huh? You two weren’t acquainted before. What exactly are you planning to do?”

Leo’s eyebrows furrowed slightly in confusion. After all, the time she had interacted with Raphael was extremely short.

“This matter is something good for him and also for us. But I should ask for his opinion.”

Hearing the explanation, Leo immediately guessed her purpose. Obviously, she wanted to increase Raphael’s strength. Besides that, he couldn’t think of anything else that could be good for everyone.

“Alright. Then I’ll take Michael then.”

Having said that, Leo gently supported Michael and took him home. He didn’t understand Michael’s recovery ability as well as Iris did, so he didn’t dare to be rough, afraid Michael might actually die.

—

In front of the ramshackle house, it looked extremely contrasting compared to Iris’s outfit, but you couldn’t see any discomfort from her.

“Raphael, aren’t you planning to upgrade the place? I’ll be staying here too from now on.”

She hadn’t even entered yet, but her voice echoed everywhere.

Raphael, like a shadow, suddenly appeared right in front of her. Their eyes met, neither backing down from their aura.

“Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?”

Even if she really was the Dragon God, right now she didn’t have that strength anymore. Raphael himself was now truly a demigod-level contractor, an existence at the top of the continent.

If she were the Sun God, then of course he would act a little differently. Even though they were many generations apart, the Sun God was his ancestor, the hope of humanity back then, so he had to show respect.

But the Sun God is dead. The successor of the Sun God is definitely not the hero of the past, so he wouldn’t be that deferential if he met that one in the future either.

“Why say it so harshly? I’m not forcing you to do anything. I’m just suggesting. Let’s put that aside for now and take a look at this.”

Iris reached into her dress, took out her bag, and started rummaging around for things inside. She hid it in her chest not because she was afraid of theft, but because she felt that during a fight, having it outside swinging back and forth was very annoying.

Maybe the enemy would see the bag, get greedy, and let their guard down. Winning that way, she felt, wasn’t very honorable.

She tossed out a flower with a strange structure, sparkling like crystal, with a bit of red glow radiating from around it.

“Know what this is?”

Raphael was caught off guard by her sudden action. But just a few seconds later, his breathing became rapid.

The energy perception of a contractor at his level was extremely strong. The moment he touched it, he could sense that this thing contained an absolutely terrifying amount of energy.

As a knowledgeable and well-read person, how could he not know what he had just caught? Ancient texts naturally recorded something poetically called a ’Treasure from Heaven’.

Of course, he also knew the shortened term ’holy herb’, because no one used that long phrase in every conversation.

Gabriel had proven to him that the existence of holy herbs wasn’t a legend, because that old man had luckily found one before while wandering in the Ancient Forest.

Of course, he used it immediately and didn’t keep that thing to go brag about it everywhere.

“I know. This thing is a holy herb, or what humanity also calls a Treasure from Heaven.”
