40 chapter 40

The pastor was taken back by the remark but said nothing in return.

Master J spoke,"Sarcasm aside, yes I am of the same clan of people that Tenlong is a member of. I had taken it upon myself to stop the lad from laying hands on the anointed of God. "

Bro Funco spoke,"So you know of the ways of the Lord?"

Master J smiled,"My parents were both ministers and raised me in His paths. I strayed from the way for a long time but I am trying to make a comeback."

Brother Funco spoke,"That is good, brother J that you are trying to come back to the Lord."

Master J lowered his head towards the ground.

The old Master spoke,"I had done centuries worth of iniquity before I thought to make my return."

Brother Funco spoke,"His blood can wash all that sin away and show us how to forgive ourselves."

The Gigantos raised his head with a veil of water over his pair of large eyes. He gave the pastor a tense look of sorrow that gave the man of God a small look into the old warrior's soul.

The preacher gently patted Master J on his lower back.

Brother Funco spoke,"I would have pat you on the shoulder but I am only six foot tall with

my shoes on.

Master J slipped out a smile under his mighty beard that was alien to his normally serous demeanor.

Grimwald made a groan as he sat up on his rear end.

The Pastor ran over to the mayor's side and checked on the village's mayor.

Funco spoke,"Grimwald, are you okay?"

The old mayor lift up his shirt to reveal his enormous gut and a metal oven door strapped over his chest. The metal door had a large hand print engraved into it.

Brother Funco untied the oven door off the mayor and put it to the side of Grimwald.

Tenlong's hand was bruised into the right chest muscle.

Grimwald looked down at the wound and laughed,"The boy did not touch me, yet he hits me this hard. I could only imagine what would have happened if he had hit me squarely.

Master J had his back turned to the nearby road when he felt that something racing towards him. The old warrior did not even turn around to face the potential danger.

It was the grown up Jimmy Jr and he had a huge ax in his hands. The lad was midair above the master.

Before the lad could land a blow, he saw several hundred hands flying at him.

The ax disintegrated before Jimmy Jr and turned to dust.

Jimmy Jr was startled by the loss of his weapon but he had no time to react since he was knocked back by some ki based technique.

Luckily, the boy was not harmed by the strikes and landed about one hundred feet from his

intended destination.

Jimmy Jr yelled,"How dare you hurt my family, you monster!"

Master J finally turned around to look at the young man.

The master spoke,"So you are Tenlong's little brother."

Jimmy Jr was six foot eight inches and three hundred and thirty pounds. He was now a taller man than his father, Jimmy Sr but not as muscular than his dead father. The lad was trained by Tenlong in his spare time and had the potential to be a greater fighter than his father ever was.

Jimmy stood there like he was frozen in place due to the enormous ki that pouring out of Master J. The old warrior had hidden his ki from detection but the lad still had the sensation of overwhelming power wrap over the young warrior.

Jimmy Jr thought,"This man is the strongest warrior that I have ever seen! He makes big brother

look like a little baby!"

Master J spoke,"I am Tenlong's teacher and I was concerned for his well being. That is why I

am here."

Pastor Funco and Mayor Grimwald then stared intently at the massive man.

Jimmy felt that he needed to check up on his mother. She had no mark on her face, despite being slapped by Tenlong.

Mary awoke due to be being stirred awake by her son.

Mary spoke,"What happen to Tenlong?"

Jimmy Jr spoke," He is laying on the ground asleep."

Mary forced herself up and ran over to her other son.

Mary spoke,"Tenlong, are you okay, baby?"

Tenlong spoke,"Mom, what happened?"

Mary spoke,"Nothing baby, You must had got tired due to overworking yourself after trying to remodel the kitchen."

Tenlong looked confused but accepted the answer anyway. Mary did not want to put a burden on her son by telling him what had happened. The other three that knew what really happened just went

along with that narrative.

The villagers came and fixed the house of Mary and her two sons. The family ate a big meal at the mayor's house. They welcomed Master J as he had always been there his entire life. The old teacher wanted to return back to his cave but the village would not let him do that. The old man spent most of his time alone for the last several decades.

Tenlong and the others stayed at the mayor's house that night. He went right to sleep that night right after supper in the mayor's front room floor. Mary put a blanket over the overgrown lad. She was still worried about the boy's anger problems.

Grimwald was sitting at his kitchen table, sitting with Mary, Jimmy Jr, Grimwald's wife, and

Master J. The table was little small for the large man so he place a stone riser on the table so that he could eat properly.

Grimwald spoke,"You must be some kind of stone mason."

Master J spoke,"I am essentially have some kind of masonry skill's that I had learned somehow over the centuries.
