"What do you mean, Younger Brother?" Although everyone was curious, no one dared to ask. So, Zhang-Long asked instead of them.
"I told you, tomorrow you'll all know!" Zheng-Fu only smiled and did not give them any clues beyond what he had said earlier.
Hah!
"Elder Brother, don't worry. That gift, I'm not only going to give to you guys but also to everyone in Green Mist Forest City. So, today I have to excuse myself. See you tomorrow!" Finished saying that, Zheng-Fu immediately left. His words made people even more suspicious and curious. And everyone's reactions made the departed Zheng-Fu secretly smile in his heart because this was what he loved to do.
Ah!
"He's quite unusual. But I trust his words," Zhang-Feng said with a dry smile. However, he noticed that while Zheng-Fu said that he would give the gift to everyone in the Green Mist Forest City, he gave the Grand Elder a strange look. And he noticed that the Grand Elder's eyes were also strange.
"But I think he's very suspicious. We still don't know where he came from. And we don't know if the weapon and armor he gave you contained hidden poison. I think it'd be better if we..."
"Grand Elder, I was with Younger Brother Zheng-Fu when he bought these items from Green Mist Forest Trade Association. If you don't believe me, you can ask the executive there. Because he's there too!" Zhang-Long interrupted in displeasure before the Grand Elder could finish speaking.
Green Mist Forest Trade Association!?
"These items were bought from Green Mist Forest Trade Association?" Zhang-Feng immediately asked with a serious expression.
"Yes, Father. My saber was bought from there as well. You remember that I told you earlier?" Zhang-Long replied to his father.
Umm!
Of course, all the weapons that came from the Green Mist Forest Trade Association were good items, and everyone knew well that all items were stored in very good condition.
"Just now, everyone saw that the boxes still had no signs of being opened. They're as neat and new as they were just bought, right?" Zhang-Long continued.
Therefore, everyone turned to look at Grand Elder with strange eyes. Everyone did not expect that the Grand Elder would speak to the guest who gave their Escort Agency the precious gifts in such a manner.
"What!? I did it for our escort agency. Right now, we're having a conflict with the Black Bamboo Group. What's wrong with me being suspicious of that kid's identity? And if that kid is actually a member of the Black Bamboo Group that wants to destroy us, then we'll be able to catch up with him and find a way to prevent it. But if he isn't, that's fine. It's not a problem, is it?"
The Grand Elder still raised excuses to defend himself. He did not care what everyone thought. After all, he was a Grand Elder who worked for Escort Agency for a long time. The good that he had done was not small. So, he thought his words were strong enough.
"Forget it! Let's just say we won't talk about it again. We're just waiting to see what the gift Nephew Zheng-Fu brings us tomorrow will be," Zhang-Feng cut off the discussion. He did not want this to become a big deal. After that, he closed today's meeting.
Back to Zheng-Fu...
After leaving Green Mist Forest Escort Agency, Zheng-Fu headed back to the city. But he did not return to the Eternal Tavern. He went to the Black Bamboo Group location. Since he was going to take down the Black Bamboo Group tonight.
Thump!!!
"They had only recently moved to this city but were able to own a mansion as big as this. They must have a lot of support. But even so, the most skilled martial master of their group is only at the sixth level of the Deity Soul stage. At most, it is only equal to a middle-rank clan in the Heavenly Command Sect. It won't take long to get rid of them!"
After Zheng-Fu spent nearly an hour watching and observing things in the Black Bamboo Group's mansion, he realized that they were not that strong. Even though it was a powerful group in this city, all of its members were still incomparable to him alone. However, Zheng-Fu did not act immediately because he did not want to create chaos in the city. He wanted to do it as quietly as possible.
Huh!?
"Those are two bastards who have been following me all day?" Zheng-Fu suddenly saw three men coming out of the Black Bamboo Group's mansion. And he remembered very well that they were the people who had been following him.
At the front entrance of Black Bamboo Group Mansion...
"We'll hurry back and report to Leader right now. You guys must be very careful. We still don't know who that young man really is. As far as I know, he has a good relationship with the Green Mist Forest Escort Agency. And you guys have been having trouble with them recently too. Just don't do anything unnecessary!"
One of the two middle-aged men spoke with a serious expression. The reason he came here was because he had something to report about the young man they secretly watched.
"We get it, Senior Master. We won't do anything right now. But can I leave a message for The Master?" The middle-aged man who looked like the Black Bamboo Group Chief politely replied to the middle-aged man who had spoken just now. Before he took out an envelope and handed it to him.
Grab!
"Yes, of course! I'll take your message back to The Master. All right, we have to go now!"
After receiving the envelopes, the two men immediately left.
"Looks like I have to fetch that letter. So that I can know whether what the trade association manager told me is true!" Zheng-Fu's heart thumped as he saw the envelope. If he got that letter, he might know if they really were dealing with the Demon Sect.
Whoosh!!!
The location of the clan to which both men belonged was to the west of the city. It was an area where very few people lived. Because most of the land was already bought by this clan. This area was mostly the residence of the rich and restaurants.
"We almost reach the clan. But why do I feel so bad!" As the two men were running back to the clan, the man holding the letter suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"You're overthinking. We're already in the Chu Clan area; no one dares to harm us in our clan!" another man comforted the first man. He thought that nothing bad would ever happen to them in their clan area.
"What you said is right. We're in our clan area. How could an idiot dare to act..."
Slash!
Augh!!!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Thump!!!
"Big Brother!"
However, before the man holding the letter could finish speaking, his head was cut off and flew out of his body. Before his body fell to the ground and turned into a lifeless body. This scene left the other man so stunned that his mouth gaped in fear.
"Who!? Who dares to act in Chu Clan's territory? If you're really good, come out...!
Flap!
"I'm out here!"
After the surviving man finished speaking Zheng-Fu suddenly appeared in front of him like a ghost before waving his hand to cut off the man's head and send him to his death as well.
"Actually, I didn't want to kill you guys. But because you guys thought of harming me first!" Zheng-Fu looked at the corpses of the two men with cold eyes. He then searched them and took out the envelope that the Black Bamboo Group Chief gave them. He burned the bodies of these two men to destroy the evidence, before using a disguise skill to hide and then disappear.
Fifteen minutes passed, in Zheng-Fu's room in the Eternal Tavern...
Grab!
"They actually teamed up with the people from Demon Sect! Huh! Then there's nothing much to say tonight. Black Bamboo Group bastards! The Chu Clan bastards!"
After Zheng-Fu read the messages in the letter, he discovered that the Black Bamboo Group was actually collaborating with someone from the Demon Sect. The content talked about the remuneration after people from the Black Bamboo Group seized power to become the city's number one power. And there was also remuneration for collecting Heavenly Command Sect's data.
"There will be no mercy tonight. Only their blood and flesh!"
Zheng-Fu made a firm decision. He reviewed, in his head, the layout of Black Bamboo Group's mansion and their total number of members. He would not allow a single person to survive. When hitting a snake, it had to be beaten to death, otherwise, it would turn around and bite you.
In the Chu Clan's main hall...
"Why haven't Chu-Wei and Chu-Dao come back yet? Or they still haven't got that young man's data?" Chu Clan Leader who was sitting in the center of the hall said loudly.
"We've sent people out to check. But none of the two masters were found. We think that they may still be out of town and have not returned yet. Because earlier, I heard that the two masters were lurking around the Green Mist Forest Escort Agency," a middle-aged man standing below answered with a worried expression.
"Green Mist Forest Escort Agency!? Or did they already know we sent someone after that kid, so they captured the two masters? Can't wait! If that's the case, we'll have to…"
"I think you shouldn't be doing something so rash. If you did that, the entire city would be thrown into chaos and suspicion would arise. You should know that your clan is currently being watched by the City Governor's clan."
However, before the Chu Clan Leader got up from his chair, an eerie and cold voice interrupted first.
Ah!
Sigh!
When Chu Clan Leader heard that, he let out a long sigh, before turning to look at the person speaking just now and saying, "It's true as you said. I'm too impatient. If there really was such a mess, it would be a big deal. So, I'll wait for them until tomorrow!" Finished speaking, the clan leader sat down on his chair again.
"You don't have to worry. If anything happens to them, I promise that we'll definitely compensate you. We will not let any disadvantage arise. And when everything is done well, your clan will forever become the City Governor's clan here!" the middle-aged man in black robes continued to speak. His words instantly brought the Chu Clan Leader's distorted face back to good looks.
"Thank you, Master Elder, for your kindness! We, the Chu Clan, will do our best. By tricking the Black Bamboo Group into doing the task instead of us, not only will we not have our hands stained with blood, but we'll also gain fame when the mission is completed. Because we'll wipe out Black Bamboo Group to protect Green Mist Forest City!" Chu Clan Leader hurriedly politely thanked the black-robed man, before speaking with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Umm!
