The Immortal Ruins - Chapter 36 Preparations Of The Four Factions
The Yungang League, west of Yungang City.
The huge public shelter was like a sprawling underground palace, with many separate rooms of different sizes, some luxuriously decorated and others quite simple, with many people sharing a living space.
A young handsome man with red hair and malicious eyes was sitting on a mahogany chair in the elliptical meeting room on the lowest floor of the bunker. He was holding a glass of red wine with a shaking hand.
There were three masters next to him, two men and one woman.
“Sir, we’ve conformed that Jiang Shaoliu has killed Sha Xing. We have to take revenge!” one of them men, as scarred and ugly as he was ferocious and strong, explosively thrust his fist into the air. “Don’t hesitate, let us attack him!”
The red-haired youth was the leader of the Yungang League, Chi Xiao.
“Tie Ying, are you questioning me?” Chi Xiao, who had a triangular face and a slender figure, stood up and asked the other two: “Gui Gui and Meng Po, what do you think about it?”
Gui Gui was a dwarf and spoke in a childish voice: “I have no qualms about your decision, brother.”
The beautiful middle-aged lady took out a bright red stick of lip gloss and rubbed it on her lips. Then she took out a small mirror and looked into it, straightening out a rogue strand of her brown wavy hair. “You always make the right decision and I have no doubt about it this time as well. Well, I need to get my beauty sleep if we’ll be going to Valentine Valley later,” she giggled.
Then she stood up and gave Chi Xiao a wink. “Tie Ying and Sha Xing were very close. He’s quick-tempered and you have to bear more responsibility.”
Tie Ying became pale. His teeth chattering, he suddenly slapped himself on the face so hard he drew blood.
Chi Xiao walked around the table, the red wine rippling gently in his glass.
Tie Ying jerked and the blood ran down his face and dripped to the ground.
Chi Xiao leaned in and whispered in Tie Ying’s ear, “This is your last chance. You would do well to remember it.”
Then he finished his drink in one gulp and smashed the glass on the floor.
Gui Gui stood up. He was less than a meter tall. “Brother, I’m going to prepare. I just want to smell that fruit when we get it.”
Chi Xiao patted him on the head. “Good boy.”
Tie Ying lowered his head. “I’m going to prepare, boss.”
“We’ll start in half an hour.” Chi Xiao sat back in his chair and leaned over the desk, supporting his forehead with one hand.
Li Xiang squinted at the video on the computer screen on the top floor of the Hongfa Group’s main office building.
Bai Long stood behind Li Xiang confidently. “Brother Xiang, let me take the lead this time and I will get the fruit for you for sure. I’ve requisitioned the latest bio-capsule and I’m sure we will win even against the military.”
Li Xiang switched off the computer and rubbed his eyebrows ponderously. “But that Lion Warrior is rather strong, even on his own. I’m worried. Do you have any comments about Jiang Shaoliu?”
Bai Long scoffed, “He has killed Sha Xing, Liu Jingcai and Gui Hu. But against me, he will collapse at the first blow.”
“Yin Manshu is such a narrow-minded person and Chi Xiao is a bloodthirsty psychopath. They will not allow Jiang Shaoliu to hang around.” Li Xiang rapped on the table with a finger. “Find a chance to help him out.”
