Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats-Chapter 44: Change of Plans
Two days ago,
"Kai, you should not have killed him."
Looking at the headless corpse on the ground, Merrick said in a helpless tone.
He wanted to stop Ethan from killing Elias because things would get complicated for the Lin Family.
But, Ethan not only had a higher cultivation than him but his speed was so insanely fast that Merrick barely reacted from beginning to end.
"Uncle Merrick, I am leaving the Family now."
After killing Elias, Ethan said those words and was about to turn around to leave.
'Ding,
The system has detected that the host is in a crucial situation.
'Ding,
Initiating a choice-based quest for the host. Please select a mission that you want to complete.
'Ding,
1) Mission Name: Leave the Lin Family.
Mission Details: You felt like the Lin Family abandoned you at a critical moment, and you want to leave it once and for all.
Reward: 1000 Life Points.
'Ding,
2) Mission Name: Kill Merrick.
Mission Details: You felt even if you left the Lin Family, the Feng Family would create a scene for the Lin Family. But, if you can kill Merrick, the Feng Family won't be able to trouble the Lin Family anymore.
Reward: A Revival Life Card.
3) Mission Name: Help the Lin Family.
Mission Details: Your momentary rage won't just bring trouble to the Lin Family, which has supported your family for years—it will also burden your parents. Instead, find a way to help the Lin Family resolve the current situation with the Feng Family, which will ultimately benefit you as well.
Reward: 1000 Life Points and A Special Life Card.
'T-this….what did I just do?'
As Ethan was reading the three missions that appeared in front of him, his rage subsided, and he could think clearly.
Only then, he realized the mistake he made by killing Elias, and Ethan also realized that even if he left the Lin Family, it wouldn't help the Lin Family in any way.
'Moreover, it will be difficult to escape from here with my parents.'
If he was alone, Ethan would not have thought much about it because, with a mastery of the Great Completion Stage in his [Shadow Steps], no one below the Golden Core Realm could catch him if he wanted to leave.
What's more, even if he got caught and killed, he could safely be revived either in the Mystic Soil Domain or in the Hidden Cave.
'It is going to be difficult to protect my parents while running away.'
Ethan clenched his fists as he cursed himself, 'My anger…it is always the source of my problems.'
Even in his previous life, his momentary rage got him into lots of trouble, and now, he brought the same old habit into this world.
"Ethan, take your parents and leave Greenspire Town…no, leave the Emerald Green Plains."
As Ethan was realizing the consequences of his momentary rage, he heard Merrick's voice, "If I was in your place, I would have done the same thing if someone harmed my parents."
"Uncle Merrick."
Hearing those words, Ethan's heart ached even more because he knew the Lin Family would be in even more trouble for not apprehending the killer of Elias.
"Since you are an ex-disciple of the Sky Cloud Sect, you can go to the Sky Cloud Region and live in one of the towns managed by the Sect."
Merrick didn't let Ethan speak as he asked Ethan to live in Ironwood Town or some other towns controlled by the Sect.
"But…."
"With your talent and luck, you will definitely become a Golden Core Realm Cultivator in the future, and when that happens, I just hope you will help my Lin Family if it is in trouble."
Merrick urged, "Now, go and take your parents with you as soon as possible."

There were some passersby who had witnessed Ethan murdering Elias, and Merrick knew it would be a matter of time before the Feng Family knew about it.
Once the Feng Family found out about the incident, Ethan's chances of escaping wouldn't be easy, and what's more, the Lin Family couldn't openly help him unless they wanted to fight the other cultivation families.
'...'
Ethan remained silent as he stood motionless.
He took a look at Merrick, and the system interface was filled with three missions from which he had to choose one.
'The second mission is completely out of the equation.'
There was no way Ethan would kill Merrick, the very first person he felt close to in this world other than his parents.
Moreover, even if Ethan was not a soft person, he could not afford to kill Merrick because, at that time, he would be hunted by two Cultivation Families instead of one.
'The first mission is simple, and if I run away now, I can go back to Ironwood Town with my parents, but….it will cause problems for the Lin Family.'
Ethan's mind raced as he looked at the third mission, which was the most difficult one but also the most beneficial one.
'If somehow, I can resolve the problem for the Lin Family, not only can I enjoy the temporary peaceful life with my parents, but the system rewards are good.'
Ethan's eyes shone when he saw the rewards for the third mission mention 'A Special Life Card'.
'But the problem is how can I solve this issue? The Feng Family intentionally wants to find trouble with the Lin Family.'
'If only I controlled my anger and didn't kill him…..wait a second. The problem is because of his death, right?'
Suddenly, Ethan's eyes lit up as he thought of something that could help him complete the third mission.
'Since there is no penalty for the mission, I will go with the Third Mission.'
Once he got an idea, Ethan no longer hesitated and made the choice.
'Ding,
The host has selected the third mission. Please complete the mission to receive the rewards.
There was a system confirmation notification; however, Ethan was focused on perfecting his plan to complete the third mission.
