Published at 3rd of January 2019 08:12:08 PM Chapter 17

As Mr Ming spoke Taf was in deep contemplation as scenes from the previous encounter played over and over in his mind . Yes, I was indeed careless in my actions and putting the only people I care about in harms way .

PLOP!!!!

His knees hit the floor as his eyes became misty . "I . . . . i am sorry old man Ming I did indeed put you and your family in harms way . I don't know how I could've lived with the consequences of my actions if things had went South . "

Tears continued to stream down his cheeks as he Continously berated himself for his seeming incompetence .

" Now now, don't be so Hard on yourself, lessons are meant to be learnt and it can be said that you have . It is a part of growing up as no one is born an adult right? " Mr Ming consoled the tearful youth then patted him on the shoulder before helping him up .

" Ha ha, this old man was here to take care of that small matter so it is but water under the bridge . I after all finally got to stretch these old legs of mine" .

"Now let's clean up this mess before someone comes and see this . Especially Mrs Ming, could you imagine the freight she would experience?" He hurriedly continued .

" After we are finished, this old man will tell you tales of his splendid past . How glorious was I back in the day . I bet you won't roll those eyes at my tales now huh?" He laughed as shamelessly boasted .

Tafari could only dry his teary eyes as he saw the old con man he knew back to his regular shameless self .

The place was a mess so it took some time to get it back to its previous state . Mr Ming had someone he knew come to help out with the bodies .

When asked who that was by Taf, he was told that it was an old friend and nothing more . He didn't continue with the questioning after getting the response and put it all down to a need to know basis .

After everything was taken care of they sat at a table with some tea to have a little chat . " I'm guessing you are shocked huh? got alot of questions do you?" Old Man Ming broke out in conversation as he sipped on his tea .

" Yes I Actually do " Taf responded excitedly . " Ahhh Are you some retired master or a hidden cultivator that lives among us mortals?"

" Ha ha, no I wouldn't call myself a master and I definitely am no cultivator . Although I am no master , I have been taught certain skill sets from my previous occupation before I retired" Chuckles filled the room as Old man Ming listen to the little ones questioning .

" I see you're going to be all secretive about it huh, oh well guess I won't say anything about it then" A disappointed Taf stated after countless insinuations were rejected .

" Ok . . ok, don't get all sad on me once more . I was once apart of an organisation that filled certain requests from special top ranked clients . To complete my given tasks I was trained relentlessly in the arts of fighting, poisoning, gorrila warfare, camouflage and others . " Old man Ming had a smug look while he responded to the curious youth's question .

An even more curious look was shown on Taf's face as he heard Old man Ming's words . " So you were once an a assassin?" He hurriedly asked .

" Yes of sorts I was, but that's all you will get from me " He had a teasing look as he spoke . " The most important thing now is to give you some well deserved training right? or do you still want to be bullied by all? .

Taf couldn't hide the excited that was plastered all over his face . " How awesome will I be if I was like old man Ming . When they dare to mention the mouse, after they might just need to put a 'Mr' in front of it " A smug look started to show on his face as his imagination went wild .

" Ok calm down" Mr Ming interjected as he noticed him drifting away . Starting tomorrow we will start your lessons . I will begin teaching you all the tools I think you need to learn to defend that little life of yours .
