Strongest Ruler

Treasures

Dragon War Continent is a place where there are absolute laws, the strong are the powerful.

In a place in a small town called Han town, it was a bustling place with many young people playing on a field.

Deep under a large tree, a 14-year-old sat quietly watching the other children playing.

He occasionally looked at the children who were walking with their father and mother.

His face contained deep sadness. A few days ago, when he wanted to play along with the other children, he instead got ridiculed for how ugly he looked.

At first glance, the child has an ordinary face, short black hair with sharp eyes.

But his clothes were very dirty and gave off a fairly foul smell, which was what made him avoided by the other children.

As the boy gazed at a building that was a herbal shop, a long white-haired old man walked out and came over to him.

Instantly, the young man dispelled his grief and smiled to invite the old man.

"Grandfather, let's go home.. My stomach is hungry." He said while holding his tummy.

"Hoho, did grandfather make you wait a long time, granddaughter?" The grandfather slightly knelt down and cleaned his grandson's face which contained traces of soil.

"No grandpa, I can wait a little longer if grandpa asks for it." The boy answered innocently.

"Hahaha, well tonight Grandpa will make you your favorite food."

"really?" The boy's eyes glowed, "Thank you grandpa."

The house of the old man and his grandson is at the top of Heinan hill, which is less than 1 km from Han city.

The old man looked to be in his 80s with a basket on his back that was used to find herbs for sale.

As cool as talking to his granddaughter, the Grandfather accidentally bumped into a man of great stature to drop wine in his hands.

"Hey old man, are you blind!? Don't see if I'm walking, now you're dropping my beer. Quick indemnity." Shouted the large-bodied man furiously.

"M–Sorry, I accidentally did that ... Is this enough?" The old man took two copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the big man there.

The grandfather was not a rich man, he only had five copper coins that he would use for dinner later with his granddaughter.

"Well! Are you kidding me, are you underestimating me old man. This wine is worth one silver coin and you gave me two copper coins?" The large-bodied man was furious, he tightly gripped the old geezer's body and slammed it hard.

"Argh..." The old man screamed in pain.

His mouth was spitting out fresh blood, as well as several broken ribs.

"Grandfather!!.." The young man ran to protect his grandfather.

"Tch, go!."

Bam!

A violent punch struck his body which made him bounce dozens of meters away.

The young man who had received a hard blow from the man was instantly unconscious.

There were many people who saw the incident, but none of them intended to stop or help the old man.

After the big man was content to beat up his young son and grandfather, he took the two copper coins that were in the old man's grasp and left the two of them to leave.

When the young boy woke up, he saw his grandfather's body filled with traces of blood. His face was extremely pale with his heartbeat getting weaker.

"Grandfather.. Grandfatherbiscuts.. Get up, grandpa." The youngster shook his grandfather's body but there was no reaction from his grandfather's body.

The young man quickly thought, he was looking for a drugstore but since it was late at night, not a single drugstore was open.

"Grandfather.. I'll take you home and give you medicine."

The youngster took his grandfather's arm, helped his grandfather stand up after it walked away.

The young man cried withstanding the pain in both of his legs, he continued walking without concern for his legs which kept bleeding.

When he reached the top of the mountain, the young man took his grandfather into the house and put his grandfather's body on a mattress.

He took a towel and water to clean the blood on his grandfather's body.

But his steps came to a halt when the young boy's wrist was held by his grandfather.

"Uhuk.. Fan'er, forgive grandpa. I don't think Grandpa can keep you company until you grow up.." The grandfather said quietly, his eyes slightly opened with his face turning even more pale.

"No grandfather, don't say such a thing.. I'll find a cure for grandpa." The young man was crying, tears filled his face.

"Haa.. No need for Fan'er, don't mind grandfather, take a ring that Grandpa hid right under your bed."

Said the old man with his heartbeat slowing down. He's been so hard-pressed to breathe, "H–Hwell done well Fan'er, grandfather hope you grow up to be a great person in the future."

Right after the grandfather finished his words, he exhaled for the last time.

"Ourr!!!...."

The young man cried, he looked at his grandfather's face for the last time then fainted from the loss of a lot of blood coming out of his legs.

When morning came, the young man slowly opened his eyes, his head slightly dizzy as he lost a lot of blood.

He looked up at the bed and saw the corpse of his grandfather, he muttered with a blank expression on his face. "So it wasn't all a dream.."

He walked out, preparing a funeral for his grandfather. His eyes swelled up from crying for a long time.

As soon as he finished giving his grandfather a proper funeral, he paid tribute to his grandfather for the last time.

"Grandfather, I will definitely take revenge for you in the future."

The young man turned and went back into his house.

She was named Xiao Fan, she grew up with her grandfather who had been taking care of her since she was a child.

Although his grandfather was not a rich man who could buy him whatever he wanted, Xiao Fan was very happy living together with his grandfather.

Until the moment when his grandfather died, he finally realized something.. "Only the strong can survive, I Xiao Fan will seek justice for my grandfather."

He walked to his bed and searched for the thing his grandfather had mentioned before his death.

Not long after, Xiao Fan found a black ring wrapped neatly in a cloth.

"What's this ring? When did you put it there?"

Out of curiosity, Xiao Fan wore the ring on the finger of his right hand.

Right after the ring was perfectly worn on his finger, an old book suddenly appeared from within the ring along with a note beside it.

Xiao Fan read the letter seriously, sadness once again filled his heart, he cried when he finished reading the letter left by his grandfather.

He clenched his fists, and said with determination.

"One day, I'll be a strong man who will change the laws of this world."

Right after Xiao Fan said like that, he turned his head and looked at the worn out book which exuded an extremely mysterious aura.

He picked up the book, trying to read the cover of the book. But since it was already so worn out, Xiao Fan could not read it at all.

When Xiao Fan opened the first courtyard, a light shot out, it quickly entered Xiao Fan's body.
