Chapter 93 No problem. Well talk about it after the work is done.

I want you to work for me.

The old man swung the bottle in his hand as if he didnt care about Gray Blades words. He continued, Just say it when you need something. We can do things for you. From finding people, missing things, or dealing with someone you dont like.

Just say what you want, leave money for the deposit, and Ill talk to my higher up for you.

Gray Blade gently tapped the table and gazed at the old man. Old man Yan, theres no need to pretend in front of me.

The old man just raised his eyebrows. Still careless.

I know youre the real boss around here. Youre the one who runs all these businesses, including the bar.

This time, old man Yan was a little surprised. Some people already knew his family name, Yan. But most of them thought he was just a mediator. He was working for someone else to inquire about the clients need and talked to the real boss behind the scenes so they could decide whether to carry out the business or refuse. But only a few people knew the truth. That those thugs were his employees.

Old Man Yans eyebrows furrowed. He looked at Gray Blade. Alright, kid. Since you know what this place is, Im sure you know what happens if you mess around here.

Or maybe you think just because we never kill someone here, we have no guts to do it? In this refugee area, people die every day. If theres a lot of people dying, we could be in trouble. But youre n.o.body. Youre alone, and no one cares about you.

He shook his head. But we still got a deal, so Ill give you one last chance. Ill offer you a peaceful solution. Say what you want.

What I want? Gray Blade laughed. I want you. I want you and your men to work for me. Otherwise, why would I be here?

Old Man Yans face grew dark. He slapped the bell under the table, and an alarm ringing sounded throughout the bar. The bartender turned pale and stopped what he was doing. Many big men ran out from the inside the bar. They carried weapons such as knives and guns. The customer immediately noticed something amiss. As soon as they saw the armed mobs, they immediately left the bar. Theyre not fools, they understood that they had to leave soon if they still wanted to live.

Bang!

The bars door was slammed close.

One by one, the big men looked at Gray Blade coldly. The strongest looking man among the crowd pointed at Gray Blade. Daddy, is this man the troublemaker?! Hes way too skinny I couldve just snapped his bones.

Gray Blade squinted and smirked. Looking ignorant.

Gray Blades ignorance made Old Man Yan had gooseb.u.mps. This young man didnt look strong, his aura was also weak. So why was he so confident?! Whats his hidden card?!

The big men surrounding Gray Blade wasnt as cautious as Old Man Yan. The first man swept down his fighting stick but found Gray Blade was missing from his vision. In the next moment, his vision spun around as his whole body was thrown up. His body hit the floor on the far side of the room with a loud bang. The impact made the old building trembled as the dense dust spilled down from the ceiling.

The man was about to stand up when suddenly a big shadow was upon him. One of the big men was also thrown like him. The flying man hit him in the face. One by one, all of the strong looking big men were thrown across the room in the same place. Their body probably weighed twice more than Gray Blade. But one after another, his men were tossed like a toy by this skinny looking man!

The oldest mans expression darkened. He was speechless and could only grunt. Yan Dazhuang, the most physically strongest person and also hunter, roared and rushed towards Gray Blade. He slammed his fist, but Gray Blades figure was gone. Instead, he broke the table where Gray Blade once stood.

The old mans eyes flashed. He was distressed.

The hunter quickly turned around, Gotcha. His huge fist punched down, this time directly on Gray Blade. However, Yan Dazhuang was stunned. His right fist went right through him. It was an illusion! His fist hit the wall. With a loud bang, the wall cracked. The old man Yan was so distressed that he shattered the empty wine bottle in his hand.

A few minutes later, the bar was filled with a hill made of human bodies. The bottom man already pa.s.sed out from the pressure of his fellow teammates above him. Yan Dhazuang was the last one to be thrown into the pile of human bodies. His condition was the most miserable. His nose was broken and swollen. If that wasnt his son, old man Yan wouldnt recognize him.

After finis.h.i.+ng his work, Gray Blade clapped his hands and looked at old man Yan. Ill humbly reintroduce myselfwell, actually, my ident.i.ty is confidential. So now, can we talk about work?

Academy of Sciences. Underground research lab.

Sun Weiguo was using a device to engrave the runes into equipment. Despite his age, his hands didnt tremble as he controlled the device. Thats why he didnt ask anyone to help him. He enjoyed the process of having the research result from his own hands.

After some time, the runes were finally inscribed in the equipment. Sun Weiguo carefully took the longsword to another table and placed it on a testing device. The red light on the instrument lighted up, and the result appeared. His a.s.sistant next to him, Xiao Lin, was too nervous to breathe. He waited for some time before carefully asking, Professor, did it work?

Sun Weiguos eyebrow furrowed. I successfully inscribed the rune into the sword. However, the result was far below my expectations.

Ever since he discussed runes with Tang Yu, Sun Weiguo was enlightened. Initially, he had long studied this specific research. But he got stuck at one point. After pa.s.sing through the obstacle, Sun Weiguo immediately discussed it with several other experts. After a lengthy discussion and research, a systematic summary of this extraordinary rune power was made. They had antic.i.p.ated that the most challenging part in crafting a rune inscribed weapon was in the step of inscribing the runes.

Right now, he had successfully inscribed the rune into the longsword. However, the effect was less than the Demon Slayer Sword.

Where did I go wrong?

Sun Weiguos brain was exhausted. For the sake of quality, he used the exact same material, style, and size, like the Demon Slayer Sword. Even if theres some difference in size, its barely noticeable! But its still useless!

To inscribe this rune, he consumed thousands of spirit stones which mustve been far beyond the regular consumption of ordinary rune inscribed weapons. If he were successful, then he wouldnt regret it. But the newly rune inscribed longswords quality was far beneath the Demon Slayer Sword. Suddenly, a new idea popped in his mind.

Xiaolin, fetch me another Demon Slayer Sword.

The a.s.sistant, Xiaolin, was about to go when he noticed something wrong. Professor, we just dismantled the last Demon Slayer Sword we have in this experiment. He looked bitter.

Sun Weiguos face looked like he was almost going crazy. As if he was looking forward to doing something, but he was told he couldnt do it today. Or even worse!

Now, his fingers were trembling with anger. He suddenly slapped his thigh, Right! That young guy from the last time. Lin, I told you to keep an eye for him, right? Go find him, say, Ill buy all the Demon Slayer Swords. Spirit stones arent a problem. Give everything he wants as long as its within our reach.

Sun Weiguo was anxious that he couldnt think clearly.

Xiao Lin panicked. Professor, I found their residence in Lindong. But theyre not there!

Ah so they went out for a mission? Well, theres nothing we can do about it.

No. Xiao Lin thought about it. He finally spoke the harsh truth. It seems like they havent returned to the shelter. I heard they were attacked by the Scarlet Hands on the battlefield.

The Scarlet Hand, you said?! Sun Weiguo was furious. Although he had spent a lot of money for the young man, Sun Weiguo still felt the young man had contributed a great deal to Lindong Shelter. But unfortunately, they were attacked by the Scarlet Hand!

His eyes were hopeless, Its my fault. I must talk to Lu Jianjun to eliminate those rats!!!

Sun Weiguo was about to leave when he heard Xiao Lin said, No, Professor. The Scarlet Hands was exterminated. And they said those three-person did it.

Sun Weiguo was speechless.
