Slowly, days passed. The cold days turned warmer, days turned longer.
One week before the spring festival, Lyca and the others were already in the last stages of the training. The classes about explosives and poisoning were already over. Right now, there were already twenty armor made and everyone was really excited to use it.
Of course, this included Chu Nan.
Since he was considered a leader of a team, Chu Nan will also participate in the assembly. Of course, he is not going to attend the activities and competition. He is going to attend the assembly as Lyca's assistant, along with Cleo.
The person who will act as the leader of the second group, the person that would replace Chu Nan during the competition is going to be the smart Gu Cheng. He is also the one leading the Biochemical team. Gu Cheng's intelligence was apparent. When it comes to explosives, he is already considered an expert. Of course, he was still careful around poisons — especially the ones that Lyca made herself. After all, those poisons don't have any antidotes.
When Chu Nan asked Lyca about this, her answer was pretty simple. 'It's not possible for her to create an antidote without consuming the poison herself. And she was too lazy to do that. So she didn't."
Chu Nan could only sigh as he told his grandfather about this. When his grandfather asked him when he is going home, Chu Nan actually refused. Lyca already taught him some antidotes of the poisons in this world. She even gave him a couple of formulas to help him with radiation poisoning.
If one would think about it carefully, the things that he learned now were more than enough for him to return to his grandfather's side. However, he couldn't. Rather… he wouldn't.
In the past few weeks that Chu Nan stayed in Ralia to train with Lyca's people, he discovered one thing. It wasn't too bad to become friends with everyone. Even Cleo, who was always following Lyca all the time, is slowly becoming likable in his eyes.
Slowly, Chu Nan interacted with the group and he discovered that each and every one of them had their own stories. Each story was more interesting than his. For instance, the jolly Ma Ping had a personality that was similar yet different from his. The man wouldn't stand as his friend was bullied. This is something that is so similar to Chu Nan.
There was also the smart Gu Cheng and his woman, iron lady Yan. That's right, the Yang Junqi who was kidnapped before had now become one of the strongest in the group. Lady Yan's domineering personality was completely compatible with Gu Cheng's submissive one.
There was also a man named Oneword who became one of the people that talked to Chu Nan most of the time. Contrary to his nickname, the man was actually quite talkative. Chu Nan soon discovered that Oneword's father was once a police officer who died while on duty. He was shot by a drug dealer. Thus, Oneword hated drug dealers the most.
"You sure you're not leaving?" Cleo stood next to Chu Nan, a cup of coffee in her hand.
"Ah, thank you for the coffee." Chu Nan smiled and immediately took the coffee from her hand.
"That— "
"Ah, so bitter? Did you forget to put sugar?"
"I don't do sugar or cream," Cleo took the cup back, her eyes were already on the people having their morning training. Each of them was on the ground, sparring with their partners.
"Oh." Chu Nan snorted. "I am not leaving unless Xi told me to leave on her own."
"You are too childish," Cleo uttered. "A few weeks ago you were always barking like a dog because you wanted her to teach you something so you could go home. Now you won't leave if she won't ask you too? So shameless."
Chu Nan didn't say anything. It is normal for him to change his mind all the time.
"Say, are you spying on us? Are you going to steal information later on?"
"Stealing something is your job," Chu Nan fired back. "If I steal something, your boss will probably kill me. So while the thought appeared in my mind before, I am logical enough to know that it won't end well."
A smug smile appeared on Cleo's face. "As long as you know."
Years from now, when Chu Nan thought about the time when he decided to stay with Lyca, he would pat his back and smile. He made the right choice.
....
Meanwhile, Long Yi and the Long Family were also preparing for the upcoming assembly. Right now, they didn't put Lyca's agency in their eyes. After all, it was nothing but a start-up company. What would a company like that do?
While Lord Olfan's words about poison repeated in his mind, Long Yi wasn't that worried about it. Lyca would never commit murder in front of everyone. He was confident that Lyca would never strike during the event. Of course, he already has some preparations if this happens. For instance, they already prepared some suits for gaseous poisoning. Their food and water supplies were also checked every day. Everything from the water that they used to take a bath, to the water that is used to wash the fruits and kitchen utensils were thoroughly checked.
He was confident that Lyca would never be able to use her poisons in Long City!
"Sir, this is the list of the Security Company that will join the assembly this time. There will be a total of eight companies from this region alone. One from Long City. Three from Xie City. Two from Kong City and two from Ralia."
"Hmmm," Long Yi accepted the list and immediately checked the names under Shen Security. Lyca Huang's name was especially irritating. Of course, there was also Shen Qui and… Chu Nan? "Chu Nan? Chu Family?"
"Yes, sir."
"Why would someone from the Chu Family joined them?" Long Yi had been to the capital a lot of times, and he was very familiar with the Chu Family. He remembered the twins, Chu Nan and Chu Munan as he already met them before. "No. That can't be. This must be the wrong person."
