Min Hong then removed the tag and left as the barrier covered the open area once again, and then Min Hong entered his bedroom and saw a square shaped cut on the floor which had a slot which was the exact size of the tag in his grasp…
He placed the tag on it, and the door slid open showing Min Hong a path to the Zen area beneath the bungalow…
Min Hong stepped into this Zen area and realized that there seemed to be a Qi Gathering formation within the entire penthouse with this Zen area being the center and focal point of the formation…
Min Hong sat in the Zen area and cultivated a little just to feel the effects of the formation which was basically minimal since Min Hong's cultivation already far outstrips whatever amount of Qi the formation could provide him with, but he still cultivated till nightfall before climbing back into his apartment to sleep…
Early the next morning, Min Hong met up with the Gong Yi duo;
"We are to return to the flying ship tonight, so what do you plan to do?" Gong Yi asked;
"Our mission here is of top and first priority, thus, we would be heading over to gather information about the inheritance ground itself from them…"
"But what about the business owner you are to meet?"
"We can do that after we are done with our mission…" Min Hong responded as they finally reached ground level and stepped off their flying swords;
"Morning young masters… Shall we go meet my boss now?"
"Not yet Old Man Chauffer… Master would like to head over to the back end of the Desolate Zone first…"
The Old Man nodded and in less than twenty minutes, Min Hong and Gong Yi found themselves in what seemed to be a tiny village made up of numerous buildings of different sizes clustered together on a small area of land…
The largest road one could take here could only contain four people at once and most of the normal roads were only wide enough for one man to go through…
Huan Ji led the way and took the trio through a series of narrow passages which was the perfect recipe for an ambush…
It was so tight that only one person could move at a time, and should such a person be confronted from ahead and behind, it would be a miracle for such a person to survive the possible barrage of attacks that would be launched towards such a person…
The only possible escape route would be to fly out, but that is only if the attackers would allow the person to do so, and there is no guarantee that there won't be enemies waiting up ahead, or even raining down attacks on the victim;
"How do you even manage to live here?" Gong Yi asked as he looked around the area; this place was like the slums of the Desolate Zone;
"Well, the different mercenary groups around here have an unspoken agreement of not attacking one another…" Huan Ji answered;
"But, that doesn't mean we still don't find people and groups who would still do so though, after all, the victim would be the only witness in this scenario, and if the person is dead, no one would trace it back to them…" He added;
"Have you ever been here before, Old Man Chauffer?" Min Hong asked from behind Huan Ji;
"No I haven't, young master…"
The Old Man replied from behind Gong Yi meaning that Gong Yi and Min Hong were in the middle of the group with Huan Ji leading the way and the Old Man bringing the rear…
After several mazy and brain stunning turns, the group finally arrived at a two story building, and Gong Yi had no choice but to take a few moments to settle down his mind;
They have been twisting and turning down this extremely winding road and the complexity of these paths were already taking a toll on his mind...
"How are you even able to map out this place in your head?" Gong Yi asked after taking his moment;
"Well, once you have lived here for a while, it tends to become a part of you…"Huan Ji answered with a slight grin;
"If someone did something bad, it would be night impossible to catch such a person, right?" The Old Man asked;
"Not really… That only depends on the number of people searching for the culprit…"
"If there are few, then it is a sure escape for the culprit, but if they are much and they scatter around, there is a certain probability that the culprit might trap himself…"Huan Ji explained;
"And how many culprit have been caught since you have been here?"
"Only a stupid few…" Huan Ji answered Min Hong;
"The criminals here rarely attacks someone who they barely know, and they will only do it when the person is either alone, or at best in a two man team…" He added;
"So, have we been targeted?" Gong Yi pushed on;
"Sure, but we are four, and they don't know three of us, and can barely remember me, thus, they wouldn't dare to try it…"
"Furthermore, since I am a member of the Fallen God Mercenary, they wouldn't dare to do so…" Huan Ji added as he knocked on the door of the building in a specific rhythm;
Shink!
A tiny slot opened on the door;
"What is the password!?"
A deep, thick and growly voice which obviously belongs to a burly, huge man bellowed from behind the door;
"What is the password?" Huan Ji responded and then;
Shank!
The slot closed up once again, and then Huan Ji knocked in another specific pattern before the Clinking and Clanging sounds of something unlocking finally rang out, and then;
Jia!
The thick metal door opened and indeed, it was a huge man standing behind the door with a great axe in his other hand;
"Eh? Leader?" The burly guy was slightly shocked;
"Little Po, gather everyone in the meeting area…"
Huan Ji responded as he stepped past the door followed by Min Hong, Gong Yi and the Old Man, whilst the burly guy stuck his neck out of the door and surveyed the entire area, and when he found no suspicious activity, he entered and slammed the door shut behind him…
Past the metal door was a long narrow corridor that ended with a door to the left where several mumblings could be heard, and a reverse staircase to the right which led to the top floor of the building…
Huan Ji climbed the staircase whilst the burly guy opened the door, and it was then that the group realized that the people within that room weren't murmuring, but were actually yelling and they also seemed to be drunk and it was the door which was somewhat dampening the noise coming from what seemed to be their dining area…
"Oi, keep it down, the boss is here!"
That was the only thing Min Hong's group could hear and the relative silence that ensued after the burly guy made that statement with a little bit of murmuring which Min Hong made out to be;
"The boss is here!?" as they entered the upper floor and shut the door behind them…
On this floor, there were rooms to the left and to the right with a final door facing the oncoming group…
But just as they were approaching the facing room, a door immediately adjacent to this door opened and a lithe, sexy and barely clothed lady walked out, and instantly Huan Ji blanched;
"Eh?"
The lady said when she turned to look at the oncoming group as she rubbed her eyes to seemingly clear the effects of the alcohol she took a while ago;
"Huan Ji, is that you?" Huan Ji's brows twitched as he chuckled awkwardly;
"~Huan Ji~"
The lady screamed in delight as she dashed over causing Huan Ji to blanche and even the eyes of the Min Hong trio to widen in shock, as she slammed her fist straight into Huan Ji's gut;
Eweurgh!
Huan Ji almost puked his guts out and then the Min Hong's trio were once again stunned when they saw the lady add a kiss to it;
"Baby, I have missed you already and was praying that your mission fails so that you return early, and it seems the gods are on my side, chee!"
The lady was beaming with smiles and joy as she ended her statement with a blushing smile;
Cough! Cough!
"Nuan'er, you will be the end of me…" Huan Ji managed to mutter;
"Eeh? You don't love me anymore?" The lady pouted like a little kid who had been wronged;
"I also told you to always dress moderately in case of times like this…"
"What are you saying? You said you love me in this outfits…"
The lady was already in a facial expression that signified that should Huan Ji say anything she didn't like, she was going to burst into tears, but just as Huan Ji was about to speak, Min Hong interrupted;
"Wait, um… Hi!"
Min Hong didn't know what to say either, but he just wanted to prevent any helpless scenario from occurring;
"Eh? Honey, who are they?" The lady asked with a confused frown;
"Oh, Nuan'er, this is my master, and his right hand man, and his chauffer…"
Huan Ji managed to introduce the trio without revealing any private or personal details;
"Eh, you mean he is a Lieutenant from the mercenary?"
"No, Nian'er… Just go in and change into something a little less…"
Huan Ji's voice trailed off when he realized the lady would take emotional offence to the end of his statement;
"Less what?" The lady asked;
"I think what he was trying to say is-"
"I know what he is trying to say, I'm not an idiot, Right Hand Man!" The lady bellowed back at Gong Yi who was trying to placate the situation;
"Eh?" Gong Yi was stunned but the lady simply looked at Huan Ji and blurted;
"It seems I am the only one excited about you coming home… Bully!"
She said with a pained and wronged expression before dashing into her room and slamming the door shut…
"I'm so sorry master, I didn't -"
"No it's fine Huan Ji, she is just very emotionally sensitive, and seems to like you a lot… She is also very strong and fast…" Min Hong praised;
"Yeah, that is the reason why I love her…" Huan Ji smiled whilst Min Hong and the Old Man simply smirked…
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Min Hong then removed the tag and left as the barrier covered the open area once again, and then Min Hong entered his bedroom and saw a square shaped cut on the floor which had a slot which was the exact size of the tag in his grasp…
