The Pathway Of Wisdom-Chapter 57: The Hidden Organization, Revenant. Part-3.

It was quite shocking to Paul that he was so easily picked up by someone with just one hand!

It was as if the other party was a beast in human form, and Paul was as light as a piece of paper to him!

He jumped inside the wide sewer and stopped himself from falling too low by grabbing the iron stairs that were embedded in the walls of it.

The sewer was like an entrance to a secret underground bunker from the inside; it was wide and circular with ’U’-shaped metal stairs embedded in the walls to climb up and down the sewer.

The unknown man held Paul like a sandbag with one hand, and while using one leg to support both of their weight, he stuck his other leg in the second metal stair to balance himself.

Then using the free hand, he instantly closed the sewer with the manhole cover.

"Good, we are out of danger for now... it’s good that you managed to arrive on time; if you were a few more minutes late, there would have no way to help you out..."

"I am surprised that you knew that our hidden area was inside the sewers, though... throwing your coin inside was a good idea..."

Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps it was Paul’s luck finally blessing him; the broken avanti coin fell in the sewer and was noticed by the unknown man stationed near the entrance.

He was then able to rescue Paul on time before the soldiers or knights noticed him.

"But still, this method of making people appear near the tower is really risky; thankfully, we haven’t failed until now..."

"But if someone got caught, the entire group will have to face the consequences..."

The unknown man muttered all that as if he was trying to point it out to Paul, but he was clearly very bad at giving explanations, so Paul could not make much of it.

"Oh! I forgot to give you my name! I am Ron, a retired soldier!"

While saying those words, Ron carried Paul down the sewer effortlessly!

He wasn’t even slightly worn out after carrying an adult man in one arm while climbing down such steep stairs.

After climbing down for a minute, they finally reached the bottom.

The bottom of the sewer was a massive cylindrical tunnel with stinking water and garbage everywhere.

The dirty water was flowing at a very slow speed and only reached until Ron’s knees, as it wasn’t too deep.

"Welcome to the territory of the greatest organization in the world! This is the territory of our great organization, Revenant!"

"From today onward, you are also a part of our amazing organization! Isn’t it quite fascinating?"

Ron was a weirdo; his brain seemed to work in a weird way. He seemed proud of the fact that he was a member of an organization whose territory was actually inside sewers!

Paul couldn’t even properly breathe due to the terrible smell of the sewer.

’Ugh... don’t tell me that we are inside the sewers that are directly connected to the toilets of people’s house!?"

As if noticing the sour expression on Paul’s face, Ron smiled and brought out a mask from his dark robe.

"Here, wear this mask; it will help reduce the smell... don’t worry, after you spend some time here, you will get used to the smell..."

"I was just as repulsive to it before, but now I don’t care about it that much..."

"Moreover, this sewer canal is not connected to the toilets and main sewage points of the city; it was built a long time ago and is just a part of a water drainage system..."

"It’s mainly used for rainwater drainage..."

Hearing Ron’s words, Paul heaved a sigh of relief and took the mask but couldn’t wear it, as his right arm was not working.

"Oh, your arm seems to be dislocated... I know a trick; let me help you out..."

Before Paul could even react or understand what Ron was doing, Ron made him sit down on a wet, dirty rock covered in filth.

Then he grabbed his right arm and shoulder with his hands and gave it a sudden twist!

*Click!*

A sound of bones shifting rang out in the silent tunnel, and before Paul could react to what had happened, his dislocated arm was fixed on the spot!

"Ahhhh!!!! That hurts!!!"

Only after his arm was fixed did Paul finally manage to react to the pain!

"ahhhhh!!!! It’s broken; it’s broken for sure! It hurts so much!!!"

Ignoring Paul’s screams, Ron grabbed him like a sandbag once again and then started walking forward as if he wasn’t affected at all by those screams.

"Oi oi~ You are a man! Why are you screaming so loudly like that? I clearly fixed your arm, you know..."

"Even women have more grit than you... even they don’t scream that loudly when giving birth, you know?"

"The pain of childbirth is more serious than a mere arm breaking apart; don’t be a coward. You should learn from women how to handle pain..."

Hearing Ron’s words, the face of his dead wife flashed in Paul’s mind, and he went silent as he endured the pain.

"That’s the way, hehe~ It turns out you still had a woman to remember if you went silent so suddenly..."

"Must be quite an important person that you went so silent and managed to ignore the pain after remembering her..."

At Ron’s words, Paul gritted his teeth and spoke.

"My wife... she was a brave woman; she was my world..."

Ron nodded his head at those words, and a smile appeared on his face, hidden under the mask.

"Hahaha, spoken like a true man! Forgive me for doubting your character... if a brave woman chose you to be her husband, then you aren’t just an ordinary man either..."

"The organization needs courageous and brave people just like you... after all, what we are fighting against is the very order of this world!"

"Tell me your name, brave comrade! I shall remember it forever!"

Hearing Ron’s words, Paul gritted his teeth, fought the drowsiness, and spoke out loud.

"I am Paul, a Revenant! A restless spirit who refuses to die!"
