“That’s all for now” After ordering some of the restaurant’s signature dishes, Stannis clapped the menushut and handed it back to the waiter.
“This place is the best one around, Alex. I’ve been to Jadeborough a fair few times, and I speak fromexperience,” Stannis announced with a laugh.
“Oh’ Are the masters in Green Mountain Monastery that famous to have necessitated that many trips?”Alex asked him.
“It’s a long story. Since we still have time, I’ll start from the top.
Then. Stannis told Alex everything he knew.
Meeting at university, Stannis and Daphne had been together for several years. Both their familiesowned businesses, and they lived well.
If a comparison had to be drawn, Daphne’s family fared better. Stannis’ family had asked Daphne’sfamily for help on more than a few occasions.

The pair had come to Green Mountain Monastery to be apprentices. Stannis wished to join GreenMountain Monastery to learn the secrets of its legendary divine powers.
Aside from monks, Green Mountain Monastery accepted disciples of secular origins, though therequirements were costlier. Fonzo would observe the candidate’s resolve before deciding to take himon
To put it bluntly, his methods served to encourage applicants to give a larger donation, which wouldincrease their chances. That was the reason why Stannis had brought with him over two hundredthousand in the hopes of earning a spot.
After Stannis finished his story, Alex became even more certain that Green Mountain Monastery wasnot as holy as it had initially appeared.
Antoine is willing to murder a civilian in cold blood, while Fonzo takes advantage of the divine powersto reap monetary rewards.
Even after learning the truth, Alex did not intend to meddle. After all, his purpose for making the trip hadbeen to bring his son and Maggie out on vacation.
“By the way, Alex, Green Mountain Monastery will not be overlooking the fact that you beat MasterAntoine to a pulp,” Stannis said, concerned.
Alex clapped Stannis on the shoulder and replied nonchalantly, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll take themon as they come. Thanks, anyway.”
Although Alex did not intend to meddle in Green Mountain Monastery’s collusion, he would not allowthem to walk all over him if they came looking for trouble.
Daphine pursed her lips in disdain at the sight of Alex. “What a thick-skinned fool,” she muttered to
herself “Do you think you’re undefeatable just because you know a move or two? Pift! You won’t evensee your demise coming
Stannis elbowed Daphne and gave her a look, but she was undeterred.novelbin
“Why did you elbow me? Was I wrong to say that? He made an enemy of Green Mountain Monastery’As formidable as he is. Fonzo can turn a pebble into a bullet! What else is he doing if not courtingdeath by provoking them?” Daphne said indignantly
Embarrassed. Stannis pulled his girlfriend aside and forced her to apologize to Alex, but she ignoredhim
“I’m sorry. Alex“ Stannis said with an apologetic sigh. “My girlfriend is blunt by nature, but she’s soft arheart” Then, Stannis tone grew solemn. “She’s right, though. Fonzo is a master. Alex. Ive seen him pickup a bamboo leaf and send it through a stump a dozen meters away”
After listening to Daphne’s and Stannis story, Alex surmised that Fonzo likely possessed the power of aMaster. He might be a formidable opponent if it came to it.
