The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

"Uncle, what are you talking about?"

After finally getting rid of the girl who had tried to chat them up, Zuko turned around and saw Ailo talking to the person who had been staring at them. He immediately felt a headache and helplessness.

Left with no other option, Zuko went over to cover for Airo, saying:

"Uncle, you still have a lot of work to do, how can you be chatting with guests and slacking off here?"

"No need to be so careful around Zu Kou. Um, I don't think I know your name yet?"

As Ai Luo spoke, she realized that she didn't even know Kahn's name, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"My name is Kahn."

After Kahn answered, Airo, having received his name, scratched the back of his head and casually introduced him to Zuko:

"Yes, Kahn, he is very likely the child of an old friend of mine."

"But you don't even know his name."

Zuko was speechless, looking at Kahn suspiciously, wondering what kind of spell he had cast on Uncle Elo.

"I cannot prove my identity right now, but I am willing to exchange some information for a chance to talk."

Seeing this, Kahn smiled with amusement:

"For example, what's Ershu's current whereabouts?"

"What?!"

Zu Kou never expected to hear the name of his mother, whom he had longed for day and night, in such a setting. He was so shocked that his pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately asked urgently:

"Do you know where Mother is right now?!"

"Ahem!"

Hearing Zuko loudly proclaim "Mother," Airo quickly coughed a few times to cover it up, which also reminded Zuko to regain some of his senses. Kahn laughed:

"Let's find a quieter place to talk. Do you really want to discuss these issues here?"

"I'll go with you."

Zu Kou said in a deep voice:

"But if you dare to fool me, I will make you pay the price."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Kahn stood up nonchalantly, ready to leave, when Airo suddenly said:

"Wait a minute, let me ask the boss for leave first."

-

After Aero and Zuko finished asking for leave, Kahn followed them to their residence in Everlasting City. They had only been in Everlasting City for a short time and didn't have much money, so they stayed in the lower city.

"She should still be in Lach Town in the Fire Kingdom, her birthplace. And next to Lach Town is a place called the Valley of No Worries."

Although Kahn said that he would use Ershu's whereabouts as a condition for the conversation, after arriving home, Kahn first told her all the information about Ershu.

Although it's a parallel world, Ershu's whereabouts shouldn't change much, and Ailo and Zuko, seeing how detailed Kahn's description was, were already 80% convinced.

"She must have had a really tough time."

Ai Luo sighed, deeply moved by Er Shu's turbulent fate.

Zuko's feelings were quite complicated at this moment. He had always wanted to find his mother, but Ershu, whom Kahn had mentioned, had now found her own happiness. Should he really break it?

Kahn continued:

"In short, if you want Ershu to regain her memories, you must find the Mother of Faces, and if you want to find the Mother of Faces as soon as possible, I suggest you seek help from Avatar."

The only beings he knew who could communicate with the gods were himself, Master Gurubask, Airo, and the Avatar.

Airo's spirit control skills were only half-baked, and Master Gurupask was unwilling to interfere in the mortal world. He himself returned to his original world at some unknown time. Therefore, An'ang, as a capable, kind-hearted being with considerable prestige among the gods, was naturally the only choice to solve this problem.

"Avatar: The Last Airbender"

However, upon hearing that he needed to ask the Avatar for help, Zuko frowned immediately, looking very troubled.

Airo explained from the side:

"Zuko once pursued Avatar for a period of time, and some conflicts occurred, but I think he has now come to his senses."

Did they hunt down Avatar?

Have you already come to your senses?

That's what they say, but looking at Zuko's current state, Kahn doesn't seem to have fully grasped the situation.

Kahn mocked mercilessly:

"You actually listened to Arden's orders and went to capture Avatar? That's incredibly stupid!"

"I can understand why Azura, who also wants to conquer the world, would try to capture Avatar. But what are you after if you try to capture Avatar? Is he standing in your way of conquering the world?"

"What do you know!"

Kahn's flippant attitude prompted Zuko to retort angrily:

"Capturing Avatar is my mission. Only by capturing Avatar will my father rescind my punishment, and only then can I return to the Flame Kingdom!"

Is this what you call enlightenment?

Kahn glanced sideways at Elo.

Seemingly understanding Kahn's gaze, Airo awkwardly scratched his head and tried to salvage the situation:

"But that was all in the past. We abandoned our mission and were wanted by the Fire Kingdom, which is why we came to Eternal City to start our new life."

Did they abandon the mission?

I'm afraid not.

Judging from Zu Kou's current state, he probably still harbors some obsessions.

Judging from the situation in his original world, Zuko's ideals were actually the same as Anang's. They both wanted to maintain peace by restoring the balance of the four races. In other words, Zuko and Anang should have been natural allies.

However, in this world, Zuko is obsessed with capturing the Avatar. It seems that he has been severely manipulated by Audacity in this world, and has almost lost his true self.

However, since he was able to follow Airo to Yonggu City to start a new life under an assumed name, there should still be hope.

"Oh."

After a quick thought, Kahn feigned a cold laugh:

"Is capturing Avatar your mission?"

"Then I'd like to ask you: Who usurped Uncle Airo's throne? Who left the scar on your face? Who separated you from your mother? Who brought you and Uncle Airo to this state? Who caused this situation?"

"You know nothing about these things? Hmph, I think you know them perfectly well!"

"Yet you, who know everything perfectly well, and who know exactly who the culprit is, are now telling me your mission is to capture Avatar?"

"Do you really know what you're doing?!"

Kahn's words made Zuko's face grow paler and paler, because each sentence was a fact he could not refute. With Kahn's final rebuke, Zuko staggered back two steps.

"Me, me"

He covered his head, his expression utterly bewildered. Kahn's words pierced his heart like needles, causing him pain and seemingly breaking through something deep within him.

"So what should I do?"

When asked by Zuko, Kahn did not give a direct answer, but instead asked in return:

"Do you really not know what to do? You're just afraid to face it."

After saying this, Kahn stood up and said to Zuko:

"I originally wanted to have a proper chat, but it seems that's all for today. You should think about what you should do. I hope you can give me an answer next time we meet."

"I'll see you off."

Airo rose and personally escorted Kahn to the door, sincerely thanking him:

"Thank you for what you just said to Zuko. I believe that after this, Zuko will understand."

Although he still doesn't know why Kahn knows so many secrets or understands them so well, after this incident, he knows that Kahn is definitely not a bad person.

"Of course."

Kahn smiled and continued:

"But to be honest, Uncle Airo, you spoil him too much. You clearly understand these principles, but if you had scolded him harshly like I did just now, he would have come to his senses long ago."

"Haha"

Airo scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, unable to refute the argument.

However, when the child criticized him, he inexplicably felt ashamed, as if his own child had pointed out his flaws, which was quite strange.
