The Most Powerful Bodyguard-Chapter 854: Time Origin, Mysterious Elder

"Hehe! Then I'll leave it to you."

Yang Yan said with a smile:

"If possible, it would be best to get more done before dawn."

"I have some things to do now, so I won't be accompanying you."

"As for the service fee, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Watching Yang Yan leave, Becky still looked as if she had seen a ghost.

Just now, this man was clearly ogling those women in the store.

Even when he left, Becky distinctly saw Yang Yan show an expression of reluctance.

But when she really cleaned herself up and waited for him, he didn't even glance at her.

Could it be she wasn't as good as those in the store?!

Becky felt her self-esteem was severely hit, and looked somewhat unconfidently at her chest.

Speaking of which, this was the part she was most satisfied with about herself.

Not reaching F, but definitely a D.

Moreover, whether it's the shape or anything else, they are perfect.

Especially within the bathrobe, it looks incredibly enticing.

Yet, that man didn't even look...

Yang Yan, of course, didn't know how Becky was criticizing him inside the hotel.

He had been in this area for quite some time now.

Presumably, Zhou Hanyun and the others must be worried.

After all, when he left, he didn't even have time to say a word to them.

"Tonight must have a result, whether that thing is the Origin or not."

Yang Yan looked in the direction shrouded in darkness, squinting as he spoke.

A country constantly racked by war, the people naturally had no happiness to speak of.

When Yang Yan walked onto the streets, there were always many malnourished children surrounding him asking for money.

Of course, he gave them a little each time.

After all, money to him was just a number.

But to them, it was the hope of surviving.

"This gentleman is really kind! Every time I see you pass by here, you give those kids a decent amount of money."

An old man looked kindly at Yang Yan, smiled, and said.

"Within my capacity!"

Yang Yan replied with a smile.

"You're not an ordinary person, are you? Why are you in this Land of Lawlessness? For the artifact?"

The elder suddenly asked.

However, the smile on his face didn't change, and his tone remained flat.

As if he was talking about something extremely ordinary.

"What does the old gentleman mean? I don't quite understand."

Yang Yan looked at the elder, somewhat perplexed.

"If you understand, you understand. If not, let it be."

The elder chuckled lightly, speaking with an air of mystery:

"However, if you do understand, considering you've given money to these children for so many days, I don't mind telling you something about the artifact."

"Junior is all ears."

Yang Yan's eyes brightened and he spoke seriously.

The smile on the elder's face grew even brighter, as he stroked his graying beard:

"Haha! You, in this Land of Lawlessness, being a little wary isn't wrong."

"After all, once here, no matter how powerful a person is, they're almost no different from ordinary people."

Yang Yan nodded slightly, then smiled and asked:

"I'm curious, how was the environment here formed?"

"Throughout the years, Hidden World people have never stopped exploring the Land of Lawlessness."

"They all want to know the secret of how this place turns Hidden World experts into ordinary people."

"But as far as I know, none have ever succeeded. Many have even died here."

The elder nodded:

"Haha, you already have the answer yourself, don't you?"

"Compared to the secret of this place, I'm more interested in the secret you hold."

Yang Yan furrowed his brow slightly, his gaze fixed intensely on the elder, and asked seriously:

"What do you mean by that?"

The elder explained:

"I've seen many Hidden World people come here. Every single one of them, once they arrived, would inevitably become an ordinary person."

"But you're different! Although you can't use any special abilities, your body retains some characteristics of Hidden World people."

As he said this, the elder's gaze towards Yang Yan grew intensely curious.

Hearing the elder's words, Yang Yan subconsciously furrowed his brow.

Due to his arrival here, indeed, he couldn't wield the world's top combat power as he did outside.

But he also didn't know why his body still retained some Hidden World characteristics after arriving here.

"You were injured a few days ago, weren't you?"

The elder suddenly asked.

"Yes! A bullet pierced my lung, but now it's healed."

Yang Yan nodded without holding back.

"Haha! That makes sense. You are indeed quite special!"

"Who would be jumping around just a few days after having their lung pierced?"

The elder asked with a smile.

Yang Yan found himself agreeing deeply with the elder's words.

Indeed, this was his first time entering the Land of Lawlessness.

He wasn't exactly clear about what strange things this place held.

"Sir, please don't study me further. Tell me what this artifact is all about instead?"

Yang Yan asked impatiently.

"About the artifact..."

The elder looked towards the distant direction, lost in thought, and said:

"Actually, that thing has existed for a long time."

"However, during that time, it disappeared for a while."

"And in recent years, it reappeared again."

Hearing the elder's words, Yang Yan became more puzzled.

Seeing his confused expression, the elder continued:

"Young man, let me put it this way: that thing probably has something to do with time."

"As for the specifics, I do not know."

Yang Yan immediately asked:

"Then what about the claims that it can fulfill wishes? Are they trying to fool me?!"

"But it can't be right; didn't they say because of that thing the government forces here won against the rebel army?"

The elder gave a cold snort, spoke disdainfully:

"The world is ignorant; how could that thing fulfill anyone's wishes?"

"If it truly could, then why is there still war here?"

"It was just some good luck that they won that battle, nothing to do with that thing."

Hearing the elder's words, and combining with his own analysis, Yang Yan was basically able to ascertain.

That thing should just be the time within the Origin.

Only time can make everything uncertain.

"Thank you, if there's nothing else, I shall take my leave."

Yang Yan took a deep look at the elder and then turned towards the city outskirts.

"Haha, go on, go on! I believe we shall meet again soon."

"But when we do, things will be different from now."

The elder watched Yang Yan's back, seemingly talking to himself.
