Chapter 84 What did Little Brother Tell Fatty?

I gave the loudest roar I had ever given in my life, not only from the pain but also anger at the fact that Fatty had concealed this from me.

After my hand was set, the sharp pain emanating from within my flesh slowly scattered and the unbearably bitter feeling disappeared, leaving me with a throbbing ache that seemed tolerable. I moved my arm a little, and even though the pain was still unbearable, it wasn’t the kind that left my mind blank, unable to even think.

“The ligaments and muscles are strained and the cartilage is also very seriously injured so try not to use this hand. We need to get out of this place and make a bandage to wrap around your neck,” Fatty said. “First, you should check and see if I did it right. If I didn’t, I’ll break it for you and start all over again. I can’t afford to pay if you become crippled.”

I lay down gasping and tried to regain my composure before asking Fatty, “What did he say to you?”

“Who said what?” Fatty asked vaguely as he copied me and lay down to rest. King Yama was still trying to climb in but we all ignored it.

“Inadequate Brother, is it useful to play dumb at this time?” I asked. “You always have a hundred things to say so if you stay quiet, it must be true. You must be going crazy trying to keep it in. Come on, don’t embarrass yourself.”

Fatty glared at me, “Ah, little guy, recently you’ve been quite cocky, even with your manner of speech. I’m not happy with what you’ve said. Let me tell you something. I, Fat Master, am able to hold my tongue.”

I knew from his expression that I was right, but he could hold out for a few more days if we fought. The problem was that he was used to it but I couldn’t stand it.

I thought it over for a while before finally coming up with a solution. Although it wasn’t quite appropriate, I knew there wasn’t any other convenient way, so I said, “I didn’t tell you about Yun Cai.” I looked at my fingernails under the torchlight. “But I can hold it in, too.”

I saw Fatty crawling over, “You’re lying.”

“The information I want to exchange with you, you know how important it is to me. I wouldn’t lie about it.”

Fatty thought it over for a moment before immediately choosing to believe me, “Who taught you to be so bad? You said you weren’t like this before. Don’t you know this kind of thing is wrong?”

“You tell me first.” I looked at my fingernails, not worried at all. After all this time, I knew what kind of mentality was needed in order to obtain my own information. Moreover, I knew that my analysis was definitely correct. How could Fatty have hidden such a secret in his heart for so long, suppressing it to such an extent that he was completely numb? He must’ve been dying to tell me.

Fatty lay back and said, “He told me that you might come to Tibet. He said that if you encounter three things in Tibet, I should give you something.”

“What three things?” My heart was surprisingly calm as Fatty spoke in a very gentle manner. He didn’t hesitate as he spoke so I knew that he definitely wasn’t lying. But I had already told myself that I wouldn’t be thrown into confusion by any information again.

“First thing, you found his statue,” Fatty said. “This proves that you found the place where he began to lose his connection to the world. This statue was completed by the best craftsman in the temple at that time. It was his only projection in this world.”

My palms were a little wet but it definitely wasn’t because I was nervous. It was the cold sweat from putting up with all the pain that was coming out.

“What’s the second thing?” I asked.

“The second thing…you haven’t reached it yet so I can’t tell you,” Fatty said.

“If you told me, wouldn’t I reach it faster?” I asked.

“With your sharp temper, if I told you, you’d certainly spend your whole life searching for it. Little Brother isn’t your only friend. I am too. I also cherish my friends, and no one wants to see you waste your whole life,” Fatty said. “I’ll keep accompanying you. I think we can reach the second condition.”

“Then you’re carrying whatever he wanted you to give me?” I was plotting out how to steal it, ready to take it from him by any means. It wasn’t like Fatty would kill me anyways.

“No, that thing is at your final destination,” Fatty said. “There are many things there and you won’t know which one it is so I’ll have to tell you which one he wants you to see.”

I took a deep breath, my heart feeling a little strange. I tried to suppress my emotions but there were still some inexplicable ripples that made it through. I had to suppress them immediately; otherwise, my heartbeat would immediately accelerate and the anxiety would drive me crazy.

“Can you guys stop being so nauseating? Come and help me. I feel something strange over here.” Just as I was trying to suppress my emotions, Short Feng spoke up from the end of the gap. “It looks like a stone gate.”

Aw man, there’s our gangster Wu Xie. Pretty savage bringing Yun Cai up in order to get information on Poker-face. *Sniff* he used to be such a sweet, precious cinnamon roll. It’s all that stupid Zhang Haixing’s fault
