By the time Seraphine and her older sister Mirella explain the birds and the bees to Teddy, his face was beat red.
Images of him walking in on his parents and not knowing what they were doing, flashed in his mind. This is an image no grown man wants of his parents.
When Mirella saw Teddy's face she almost knew what he was thinking.
"Those times that you walked in on your parents now are a bit embarrassing correct?"
She was teasing Teddy. He could not let this happen.
"It doesn't matter. The question is why are you explaining the birds and the bees to me? Isn't that something that parents should do?"
Seraphine's entire face turn red. Mirella however didn't seem bothered by these questions.
Mirella flirtatiously answered, "Because our sect follows an ancient set of rules. In order for our sect to honor any kind of alliance, a dual cultivation agreement must be fulfilled."
Teddy's eyes groove wide. It seems the spirit was correct. They indeed were sent to become dual cultivators with him. Now the question remains, does he want an alliance with this sect?
Also, if he chooses to go with the alliance, is he supposed to pick between them, accept them both, or does he get a choice in one or both?
"So can you explain to me what exactly you were seeking. I understand that you want an alliance, however the question is what route did your sect ordered you to follow?"
Mirella formed a flirtatious grin as she answered, "The Moonlight Glade has instructed both of us that if you were to accept the alliance, one or both of us would have to be cultivaion partners with you. Basically you'd have one or both of us for the rest of our lives."
Teddy is starting to grow a little bit of an understanding of the situation. However he is still hesitant. One must remember that he still has an innocent mind despite being twenty three.
"Life partners? What do you mean by that?"
It was now Seraphine's turn to answer.
"Well you see I have never known a man in that regard. Though my sister has it was a one time thing. That's kind of why she's not as shy as I am about this. My sister was supposed to be a cultivation partner with a powerful member of another sect. However after taking her virgin yin energy, he betrayed her in our sect."
Fury could be seen on Teddy's face. Though he is innocent in these matters it's still infuriates him. Why you may ask? Because he had his own betrayal of sorts.
The time he got thrown off a cliff, it was his best friend's father. However Elena never knew her father had to run him off a cliff. Hence why he was not upset at her.
And if you haven't guessed it by now, Elena's father was none other than Snake. Snake's real name was David. So you can guess how hearing news of a betrayal with effect Teddy.
"Okay so my question is then, are you willing to enter into this arrangement with me? If not it's okay. I'll still help you get revenge."
Though two ladies didn't understand Teddy's reasoning, they definitely appreciate it. Teddy seems to be a righteous man. Now all of this could have something to do with his innocent nature. But it didn't matter.
Seraphine nodded her head as she said, "I want to, really I do. It's unlikely that I'll find an honorable man such as yourself again."
Mirella couldn't hold back her tears. This man who doesn't even know her is willing to get revenge for her. She resolved to herself that she will be loyal to this man until the day she dies.
"I'm willing as well. The reasoning is being the same as my sister. You have no reason to seek revenge from me but yet you are willing. So I am willing to follow you to the ends of the earth."
And with this Teddy has now added two allies on his list of friends. And these allies wasn't just any allies but cultivators themself.
"Okay, come on. My parents got me a phone. Let me have your numbers so we can meet up. I got things I need to get done."
The two ladies did give him their phone numbers but they also informed him that they will keep an eye on him from the shadows. This way no one will know if they're alliance just yet and if he gets in trouble they can help out.
Teddy was touched by this. Then he walked out of where the three were talking and handed in his resume at the first store he had visited this morning.
After he walked out, he turned and walked over to go into the next place which was a fast food restaurant. Before he can enter, he saw familiar face talking to another familiar face.
You guessed it, these two individuals were Baxter and Snake. Though they didn't age very well over the past fifteen years, Teddy would never forget their faces.
Teddy's face darkened. He couldn't approach the two in the open. So instead he decided to follow them.
Mirella and Seraphine both noticed Teddy's expression and behavior. They knew that these two men must have wronged him at some point.
So the two women made sure that they were going to please Teddy one way or another. If Teddy wasn't careful this could turn out ugly for the two men.
After following the men for about an hour, the men finally entered and abandoned warehouse. Teddy entered behind them.
What greeted Teddy was a mob of gangsters. Probably about twenty or so total. Teddy was shocked but not rattled. It's obvious these men knew that Teddy was following them.
The man known as Snake started to chuckle as he clapped.
"I thought I was being followed. Looks like we caught a rat in a trap."
Baxter said chuckling, "Indeed. Snake what are we going to do with this guy?"
The Snake rubbed his chin and thought. Something about this guy before him reminded him of someone. He just couldn't put his finger on it.
Almost to confirm the Snake's suspicions, Teddy spoke up next.
"I thought I did a good job concealing myself. Well for someone who is such a scheming bastard, I shouldn't be surprised."
Scheming bastard? What does this kid think he's talking about? The Snake was confused. At the very least this does prove that the Snake had a running with this guy before.
"Who you calling a scheming bastard? Those are strong words for a dead man."
Teddy started laughing heartily. This talk the entire mob of gangsters by surprise. Even the Snake and Baxter was taken off guard.
If this guy before them wasn't afraid and was even laughing, that would mean he would have to be a dangerous person.
But the problem is the Snake was sure he knew every single person in the underworld in New York. And that's the only way this guy could be a danger to the Snake. He'd have to be in the underworld.
But if he's a danger but not in the underworld then who is he?
Teddy was done talking. He held out his right hand in front of him facing the sky. Then Teddy circulated his lightning cultivation.
Next thing the group in this warehouse new was a lightning orb formed in the palm of Teddy hand.
Everyone's eyes grew wide. Teddy is a cultivator. But there should not be any cultivators within a hundred miles of this place.
Cultivators tend to stay in temples. The closest Temple is in the city of Philadelphia. There's no way that this man could be a cultivator.
And yet their eyes cannot deceive them. He clearly is a lightning cultivator. And then the thought hit them. He's a lightning cultivator. That means he must be a heavenly cultivator.
This thought brought fear to the heart of everyone in this warehouse. Before anyone could act, Teddy through the lightning ball in the middle of a group of men.
The lightning ball exploded and three of the gangsters dropped dead. If there was a question before. Now it's been answered.
"L, lightning cultivator! You're a, a, lightning cultivator!"
The Snake fell onto his knees. He knew he had to beg for his life. But before he could say anything, Teddy spoke.
"You still don't remember me do you? I have to admit, had you not thrown me off that Cliff that day, I wouldn't have had the chance to be a cultivator."
The two women for watching this whole scene play out. Which means they heard what Teddy just said. That answers the question on what these guys did to Teddy.
"Beg! Beg like the dog that you are! Elena has no idea what kind of a man her father is. She worships the ground you walk on. But yet you're nothing but a scumbag."
These words was like ice water thrown onto the Snake and Baxter. It was that eight-year-old brat. He survived the fall. And worse yet he is back for revenge.
And the thing that is causing fear in the heart of the Snake and Baxter is, Teddy has the ability to seek revenge. There is nothing the two can do to survive this ordeal except what Teddy tells them.
The snake was already on his knees but Baxter decided to join him.
Baxter pleaded, "Grand Master, please forgive us too. We know that what we did was despicable. A child does not deserve to die. We were afraid that day. We were afraid that you would have discovered the Snake's background. It's not a good reason to have thrown you over the cliff but that is the reason why we did it. We are truly sorry please forgive us."
The Snake added, "Baxter is telling the truth. We have offended you and we should pay. We're just asking that you have mercy on us. Do as you must though."
Teddy let out a cold snort. Then he pointed his index fingers to each of the men.
Then Teddy said, "I'll spare your lives but I'm going to temporarily cripple you."
With that a bolt of electricity shut out of each index finger and struck each man in the legs. Though the legs were not destroyed, these two men will have a limp for the next few months.
Their status as criminal underground Kings will forever be lost. And all because they decided to throw an eight-year-old kid off of a cliff fifteen years ago.
It is said that one's past will catch up to you. This is definitely the case here.
