Heavenly Dao Child - Chapter 490

Ryuu looked out from his flying vessel at the large planet in front of him, a planet that shone like a jewel in the vast emptiness of the space.

“My Prince, this planet is really something to look at from space, is it not?”

Ryuu nodded as he replied back to the speaker, “It sure is advisor Yamamoto, though I prefer Ayindril more, now let us not keep them waiting any longer.”

Yamamoto simply bowed as their flying vessel slowly descended through the atmosphere before making its way to the docking area of the ‘Thousand Dragon City’, the biggest, largest and the most prosperous city of Kuvosie.

Yu Wu had received news about the arrival of the new head of the branch, her new boss as such she along with a few of her co-workers had decided to welcome their new boss when he or she would arrive.

“Sister Yu Wu, how long do you think we have to wait?”

Yu Wu rolled her eyes as she spoke, “Brother Jin, there are still a few minutes before they would appear.”

Jin sighed as he spoke, “But still I kind of wish brother Zhan Hu did not have to leave, he was a nice boss.”

Yu Wu sighed as she spoke, “Me too brother.” before her eyes narrowed at the sight of a large flying vessel with the insignia of Shangri-la proudly engraved on it.

“Our new boss is here Brother Jin look sharp.”

Jin nodded as the flying vessel landed and out of it stepped out a group of six soldiers followed by a very handsome young man and a white-haired old man, with another group of six soldiers following after them.

A dainty looking woman standing near Yu WU could not help but speak out loud, “Hey, Sister Yu Wu, I do not remember our previous boss having a group of guards protecting him.”

The dainty woman was taken aback as Yu Wu did not reply back to her, only for her to notice that Yu Wu was busy staring towards Ryuu’s direction with a frightened expression on her face, as such she quickly send a jab towards Yu Wu with her elbow thus breaking her out of her trance.

As the jab brought her out of her trance she quickly turned towards the dainty looking woman as she spoke with a slight bow, “Thank you and I am sorry for worrying you, sister Huo.”

Bai Huo shook her head as she spoke, “There is nothing to apologize for, but since you acted in such a way may I hazard a guess that your Divine body caused some form of reaction to someone from amongst that group.”

Yu Wu nodded as she spoke with a worried look on her face, “The guards and the white-haired old man, I could not detect anything from them which only means that they are strong, very strong on the other hand the red-haired person is different, he feels like a mixture of sword and dragon, a very vicious and aggressive being that would not hesitate to tear me apart and devour me, he is dangerous.”

Bai Huo frowned as she spoke, “His cultivation level, were you able to discern it?”

Yu Wu bit her lips as she gave a small nod, “He felt as if he was at the peak of Mystic Immortal Emperor realm but at the same time he felt a bit more, compare to other of his realm there is a large chasm between him and others.”

Jin went deathly pale as he heard Yu Wu speak as he could not help but speak with a gasp, “No way, I think he is some sort of executioner of Shangri-la, after that coup, I think he is sent here to search for traitors and execute them.”

Bai Huo scoffed towards Jin as she spoke, “You are imagining things.”

Yu Wu shook her head as she spoke, “No, I think Jin is right why would such a dangerous person with so many strong guards appeared he is definitely here to flush out the traitors, as such we have to be careful while dealing with him, Heavens knows what he would take offence to and try to punish us, in fact, his cultivation level might even on a much higher level and he is using some kind of technique to mask it, so please be careful around him.”

Meanwhile back with Ryuu and his companion Yamamoto, Ryuu studied the welcoming committee intently before he spoke in a curious tone, “Advisor Yamamoto, that woman is she not the holder of ‘Clear Mirror Heart’.”

Yamamoto gave a small nod before he spoke with a small smile on his face, “Yes you are right my prince and seeing her reaction she might have deduced something about you that might have scared her greatly.”

“Huh, interesting I wonder what she has managed to deduce.”

Yamamoto let out a chuckle as he spoke, “Maybe something extremely diabolic enough that her fellow companions are scared as well.”, when all of a sudden his eyes widen as he spoke with an amused look on his face, “My prince, they think of you as some kind of enforcer who was send here to search and execute traitors.”

Ryuu’s jaw dropped upon hearing that before a rather large mischievous blossomed on his face as he spoke, “Advisor Yamamoto, I have a plan please play along and if it works it would be fun.”

Yamamoto gained a curious look on his face as he spoke, “So my prince what is the plan?”

A burst of large evil laughter came to Yu Wu’s ears, laughter that originated from the old man following behind the youth, laughter that sent shivers down every member of the welcoming committee’s spine as both Yu Wu and Bai Hu held each other and shook in fear.

Jin became even paler and looked ready to faint as he chanted out loudly, “We are dead, we are dead we are so dead.”

As Ryuu approached them his guards stood by either of his sides as he spoke in a serious tone, “I see you must be the welcoming committee.”, Yu Wu somehow managed to nod her head but before she could speak Ryuu continued nonchalantly, “I see but before we continue with our introduction care to tell me why you are all severing like a newborn calf, while some of them look ready to faint from extreme blood loss, don’t tell you people have something to hide and are now afraid I might find it out.”

‘This is it we are dead’, a thought passed through the welcoming committee’s head before Yu Wu quickly took control as she spoke with a nervous smile, “Ah, greetings from Kuvosie Central Branch of Shangri-La, Sir, we were just anxious about knowing our future boss.”

Ryuu’s eyes narrowed as he spoke with a drawl, “If you say so.”, as he spoke Yu Wu’s pulse quickened as Ryuu suddenly continued with an extremely large smile that threatened to split his face, “But first let me introduce myself first my name is Ryuu and I despise liars and traitors personally I think they should be crippled and hung by their entrails, don’t you think so.”

An animated nod followed by the sound of one of the members collapsing was his answer as Ryuu looked at the unconscious person as he spoke, “Oh my, don’t tell me that was overexcitement on meeting me.”

Yamamoto ran his hand through his beard as he spoke, “It seems so my Prince, if others are as eager and excited I hope their co-operations would be much better and help us a lot.”

Ryuu gave a small nod as he spoke, “So true, my work would not only be much smoother but faster as well.”

Seeing the scared look on their faces, as well as a couple who were already halfway into the land of unconsciousness, a feeling of elation and happiness appeared which was prompted by an equal measure of anger and disappointment.

‘Seeing them squirming and fainting might just make my day but at the same time seeing them get intimidated so easily makes me greatly infuriated and disgusted, a bit of intimidation and they would spill everything to the enemy, trash would appropriate for them.’

Yu Wu quickly composed herself as she spoke as her training kicked in, “General Manager Ryuu I once again welcome you to Kuvosie Central Branch of Shangri-la, I hope your journey had been well.”

“It was.”

A smile formed on Yu Wu’s face as she continued, “That is extremely good news Sir, I believe you would like to rest as such please follow me as I would guide you to your new cottage where we have prepared some refreshments for you.”

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, “Fellow Daoist sister, I am sorry but please guide me to my new office as well as I would like to be given a small tour of my new place of work, and I would also love to get acquainted with my fellow colleagues as such please make sure they are available but at the same time make sure only to invite those who do not have an urgent work.”

Yu Wu simply gave a small bow as she spoke, “As you wish, then please follow me.

Yamamoto was not so easily impressed but the work ethics of the previous General Manager managed to do so, as such he could not help but exclaim out loud, “Wonderful, the previous General Manager’s work ethics were truly wonderful.”

Ryuu could not help but nod at his words as he spoke, “So true advisor Yamamoto, so true he is a good employee.”

A knock at his door drew his attention and upon being  permitted Yu Wu stepped inside as she spoke, “Excuse me, boss, the assembly of the employees has been called and as you have ordered me only those who do not have any immediate serious work has been summoned.”

Ryuu flashed Yu Wu a smile as he spoke, “Splendid then lead the way.”
