The Adventures Of The Young Master

The next morning, Linggu had waken up early and looked at rising suns in the east. He smiled and said, "Another morning for all of us."

"Are we get going now?" Jin Rou opened his eyes. He didn't fall asleep through the night and just planned more for what he had to do.

"Yes, we cannot consume more of their resources, can we?" Linggu smiled. Though he never took off his mask, Jin Rou could see his expression easily.

"If that's what you think." Jin Rou would just go with the flow here.

Soon, Linggu went to the sect master and bidded his good bye. The latter wanted Linggu to stay for another day but the former declined firmly. It would be against his principles if he agreed again. The sect master had no choice but to see them out with a weak smile.

"And where are we going now?" After getting out of the Blue Hymn Sect, Jin Rou asked since they were walking in an opposite direction where the town was.

"Brother Jin, truth be told, I'm going to meet someone. And I don't think I can guarantee you're safety." Linggu stopped in his tracks and explained, "It will be difficult to say the exact details, but it's dangerous. So I can understand if you want to part ways now."

He was truly speaking for the wellbeing of the other party. He didn't want to put Jin Rou in danger.

"It's okay Brother Linggu. I can take care of myself." Jin Rou smiled and said, "So be at ease and settle your matter."

"If that's your choice, okay." Linggu nodded seriously. He already thought of Jin Rou as his friend though they just knew each other for a day.

Soon, they reached a rundown mansion out of nowhere. It looked like a haunted house since it looked abandoned. It was giving an eerie feeling as if something was crawling under your skin.

"We're here, Brother Jin. Please stay close to me." Linggu spoke with a grave tone. Jin Rou heed his advice and got closer though it should be unnecessary.

Upon opening the door, what they met was people in a bit of chaos. They were all wearing black and had piercings in their bodies. Some were playing cards, and some were playing with women by their laps. It was like a bar filled with thugs around.

"Oh, Linggu is here. Call the Young Master!" A thug ordered someone.

Because of those words, every eyes was now at Linggu at Jin Rou. Some were actually looking at them with killing intent.

"Proceed to this room to meet the Young Master." The thug said after informing the Young Master.

Linggu took a deep breath and entered the door. And again, what met him was gross sight of vanity. A man with a pale face was playing with two women by his side and fondling something.

Linggu was grossed out and Jin Rou's mood turned sour.

"What a surprise, Sir Linggu is here now!" The man called Young Master spoke with a mocking expression, "Surely, you must be giving me good news now, right?"

"The organization declined to cooperate with your Black Mercenary. This is not a decision influenced by mine, but the leader himself." Linggu spoke.

"Too bad, then. I guess it's war?" The man smirked, "I wonder how many days your organization could last if we go all out attacking your base?"

"You wouldn't dare." Linggu shook his head, "If you do, there will be unimaginable consequences for your Black Mercenary. You cannot afford that now that the Dragon Clan is active."

The Dragon Clan was a superpower in the Southern King Region. They were one of the three superpowers here governing the region. Usually, they purge illegal organizations by giving them a total genocide.

If in case the Black Mercenary made a move against Rampant Eagle, the Dragon Clan would surely make a move as the organization was under their banner.

Could the Black Mercenary with no background take the anger of the Dragon Clan? Of course not. They would just be asking for death.

"Tsk. And so? Do you have something in mind?" The man clicked his tongue in annoyance. He hated dealing with smart people as they were less prone to threats and trickery.

"While the Rampant Eagle couldn't offer assistance in this raid, I can." Linggu said, "I will be joining you in raiding the Era Emperor's Tomb."

"With just you?" The man sneered, "If we just need your strength, we wouldn't go through the trouble of actually requesting your organization for cooperation, no?"

"I am already a Vajra. A myriad one." Linggu said and released his aura. Many were shocked to feel the pressure!

This young man was already a Vajra in his age? That should be impossible. After all, even the genius of the Black Mercenary couldn't yet to advance from Golden Flow.

​ "Interesting." The man didn't look threatened, "So how much of the treasures do you want?"

"I just want a bit. 20% of the total treasures to be found shall be mine. And of course, I should have the privilege to pick them." Linggu smirked, "If not, then this deal is off. Just find another person or powerhouse to help you. Though, I doubt someone will actually be willing to help knowing your bad reputation."

The man by the seat didn't like the tone of Linggu. But the other party was right. The terms were a bit over the top but it can be handled later on. What's important would be they had additional Vajra in their rankings, "So be it. You have the deal."

Then, Linggu took out the contract he prepared beforehand and said, "Sign this. You know this type of contract so I don't have to explain it."

"You trickster..." The man wanted to punch Linggu in the face but he stopped himself to do so. There would be more time later on. But he had no choice but to sign the soul contract.
