250 Angol City Part-2

Ryuu as he made his way to the Algon city met with a group of people who were making his way towards the city, "So this 'Mendez Family' is the biggest family here and they are hiring guards, so the real question is can they feed me?"

The person next to me deadpanned as he spoke, "I do not think that it will not be impossible for them to feed you, Liam Nanda."

Ryuu aka Liam Nanda simply gave a silly laugh as he scratched his head in embarrassment, as the others simply sighed at his silly antics as few sighed at this.

Ryuu entered the city well he mingled with the crowd and bypassed the security thereby making sure he did not have to pay a certain tax, before long he found himself standing front of the Mendez Family compound where a large group of people of various ages and sexes were standing waiting for their chance as one by one they entered the place as they were tested.

As he approached the place he was stopped by a couple of guards who spoke authoritative tone, "Halt, this is private property leave."

Liam Nanda simply gave a silly grin as he spoke, "I heard that people are getting job here as such I came to try my luck."

Guards sighed as he spoke, "GO and stand over there, if you make any commotion we will beat you now move along."

Liam Nanda joined the line, a few hours later he was bored he had been standing in the line for who knows how long and he had half a mind to beat whoever in charge of recruitment black and blue, his patience was wearing thin.

A few more minutes later a group of people arrived with air of seriousness with a smug look on their face oh how he wanted to play soccer with them as the ball he was getting increasingly upset at them for wasting his precious time, 'Mendez Family', the biggest supplier of Spirit Stone for Shangri-la from this region, they along with few of the families reported that the mine had run out confirmed by the branch head but if the main source of the income was lost then they would be panicking and what not the environment would not be joyous and certainly they would not recruit people, even the wages were high, the minimum was 4th ranked Houtian and below 40 years of age, those selected would receive food and lodging and an additional 5 Spirit Stones per month, it was luxury for some people because the spirit stones at the end of the day can be used as resource for cultivation and they have spot for only 100 people and there was more than thousand here but most of them are simply trash as long as he can make himself seen valuable he will be selected.

As he stood in the line he heard snippets of whisper floating around, "3rd young master…..'Heaven Defying Genius'... Mid Level Xiantian by 20 years", and what not Ryuu sighed at that as he glanced at the so called 3rd Young Master, the smug look made him gag what was so great about him he did not see from what he learned about him seeing his growth a nearby famousCultivator Sect's head has taken him as his legacy disciple and he is slotted to inherit the said position, and from what Ryuu had seen he was not impressed the person had enough ego that even his sisters are a toddler in front of him.

Most of the people were at 4th or 5th rank barely making the cut as for their age most were above 30 years of age except a couple of people most notably a woman of 23 years of age, and rank 7th of Houtian level, he frowned as he made his way to the person testing them a man of 50 years of age at rank 7th of Xiantian Level, and from the looks of his face it was clear he did not want to 'taint' himself and catch himself some strange disease by spending some time with us 'lowly' ones.

Soon it was his time than spoke in a bored tone, "Name?"

Liam Nanda: "Ah my name is Liam Nanda."

"Place your hand on this stone, and pour your KI into it.", ordered the man.

As Ryuu aka Liam Nanda placed his hand on top of the stone the man's eyes widen a bit as he spoke, "7th ranked Houtian, age 18 years."

"Do it again."

Liam complied as he was told to stand with the rest of the people who were selected, as one of the previous person was thrown out, as Liam stood looking clueless with a silly grin in his face while inwardly he was roaring with laughter, using an array he had managed to fool them easily and none was able to notice it, but there was something he noticed when he spoke his name it caused a quiet the stir specially from the members of the clan, 'Do not tell me I used some form of fugitives name, if I did it would be troublesome.'

A few more hours later he along with the chosen 100 new guards were taken to what seemed like a barrack each of the room was so small that even with a single bunk bed present seemed to be too much, and he was assigned along with the woman of 7th Houtian Rank, as they stood there one of the servants of the clan spoke, "Tomorrow at dawn you will be escorted to the training ground, today rest you will get something to eat at 9 and remember there are men and women together inside a room if you are caught together doing something indecent you will lose your genitals."

With that the servant left as the people entered into each other's assigned room as they entered the room Liam spoke, "umm Big Sister which bed will you be taking?"

The woman spoke with a grunt, "The bottom."

Liam shrugged as he jumped on the top bed as he pretended to fall asleep with his 'trusted' spear by his side, the woman glanced at him before she shrugged as she followed his example as she occupied the one at the bottom.

Meanwhile while Ryuu had extended his senses as he checking for any threat as his soul escaped from his body a technique he had learned a technique to move his soul out of his body, an ultimate spying tool as most who have not trained their souls would not even be able to perceive his soul let alone see it, currently his range was about 200 meters after which it was an incredible strain on his soul and body too, as his intangible soul moved through the place a very risky move on his part as it not only made his soul the most vulnerable but it drained his KI reserves fast, as such he decided to quickly checked the place nearby as he stumbled upon a person speaking with a servant.

"That Liam Nanda, fellow keep an eye on him."

"But Sir, why would any surviving members from the deceased Nanda family would show themselves in here? At their enemies' lair, where they could be killed moreover he does not have their trademark brunette hair."

"Shut up and do as you are told to, keep an eye on him and report anything amiss."

AS Ryuu returned back to his body he sweated a little as he moaned in embarrassment as he thought, 'What a bad luck.'
