251 Detective Ryuu

Ryuu aka Liam Nanda stood along with others wearing a white clothes with the insignia of the family on his back as a person from the Mendez family inspected them, giving them long winded lecture on loyalty honesty and what not, Liam was very very bored as such he used the ultimate technique directly from his 2nd sister Sylvana's arsenal 'Sleeping with your eyes open'.

A few tedious minutes later another person arrived with a big notebook, he sat on a chair and as the names were called one by one as they approached the man they were granted a couple of pills, the man then spoke with a smile, "This pills will aid in your cultivation, since you are all like a family members from now to us irrespective of your age, sex or strength as such her Ladyship the Matriarch of our clan provided you all with means to grow stronger, every fortnight each of you would receive as such normally we would have given you everyday if possible but alas our condition is not so good, but fear not we will be fare to our family members and we will always be with by their side."

All the people present had their eyes go red as tears appeared in them, this Qi gathering pills were very expensive to be handed out just like that and being treated like family it was a good decision to join the 'Mendez Family', one of the more passionate one shouted out at the top of his voice, "Long Live the Mendez Family!!!!"

His shout broke the dam as other joined him including Liam who shouted out for the sake of appearance, the man basked in glory as Liam send a strand of his KI inside the pills as he studied it, a normal Qi gathering pill was at 60% efficient but there were a few items which made no sense, 'Why would they use such items, it lowered the pills effectiveness by a good few percent at the very least but this particular thing no way it is a narcotic but they are trying to make us addicted to them, how vicious they are trying to make us completely depend on them at the very least at the same time removing the chance of a revolt.'

They were taken by another person as they stood in what seemed to be a dojo, the vaunted 3rd Young Master was present there along with a couple of others, "Welcome Uncle Alfonso."

Alfonso: "Ah, nephew I hope you do not have to wait too much."

"No I did not have to wait too much."

Alfonso then turned towards the rest as he spoke with a smile, "Ah let me introduce you all to Gustavo Mendez, my nephew and the pride of our clan genius who is already at mid Xiantian Level at the age of twenty."

The new guards simply bowed as they spoke in unison, "Greetings 3rd Young Master.", Liam had positioned himself at the rear as such he was able to hide a bit after all he was too prideful to bow in front of them.

Gustavo's eyes roamed as he spoke in a serious tone, "Not bad not bad, they are all exceptional."

Liam noticed amongst all the new addition to the guards one of them looked immensely giddy upon receiving the praise, Liam inwardly sighed at that, 'He seems to be one of those worthless waste of space who leaves by buttering others the most untrustworthy kind of person.'

Gustavo: "Well you all have arrived at a good time I was about to spar with my fellow family members why don't you stay and watch."

Alfonso spoke in a serious tone, "Are you serious Nephew?"

Gustavo nodded as he spoke, "Of course a cultivator's life is a journey where a person always learns something new, and I am already a 'Grandmaster' Level in the Dao of Spears, maybe they might gain a sliver of enlightenment from me."

Again the same person started crying loudly as tears gushed from his eyes, "Your Holiness you magnificence knows no bound you will share your knowledge with us lowly peon from here on I Goro will definitely give my life my possession my everything to you.", he kowtowed to him a few times.

Gustavo looked pleased as he spoke, "Please stop it, there is no need for such thing well all of stand aside and I will begin."

Ryuu was excited to see someone at 'Grand Master' level like he was even if the weapon was different, but still he wanted to see him in action and maybe when all this is over may be he could request for a spar, to be a bit older than him and even many ranks lower than him and already at 'Grand Master' was truly amazing.

Gustavo took a stance with his spear as he his aura erupted causing the others near him shake with excitement and fear, before he spoke in a serious voice, "Watch and Learn.", as he rushed towards his opponents, Liam looked at Gustavo before he blinked then he shook with anger, 'How dare this mongrel claim to have gained enlightenment in a Dao, let alone have enlightenment in the Dao, he does not even knows how to properly wield a spear, he had sparred against a spear user his own 3rd sister uses spear and it was mesmerizing to watch, after fighting her he had managed to gain at least adept level of enlightenment, and from he had the misfortune to witness Gustavo wielded his spear like a stick and Ryuu aka Liam could spot a large number of mistakes in his stances and what not the only reason he was intimidating to others was because of the spear was a decent weapon as well as he was using some sort of spear arts and attacks but even then it was to horrendous and blasphemous in his eyes. 'I am going to so enjoy breaking that spear and shoving it down his throat.'

A couple of hours later Liam found himself with a bowl full of food, well the others were eating happily but to him it looked nothing more than a gruel he sighed as he looked up at the night sky as he watched the stars twinkling to Ryuu it seemed as if the heavens was wearing the most expensive piece of jewelry, with the stars as the precious stones, he glanced down as he send his KI to the food as he sighed, 'Another think laced with narcotics, it is good that I said I will eat alone at my room.', he took the bowl as he was making his way towards his room he discreetly threw it away into the drain he watched as the water carried it away, 'hmm I might have something left in my space ring for me to feed.'

A good few minutes later his roommate appeared as she watched Liam she saw him sleeping without a care in the world, she simply shook her head as she gave a disappointed sigh, she then suddenly let out a large yawn, 'hmm seems like I am more tired than I appeared to be.', with that she laid on her bed and feel fast asleep, no sooner did she went to visit her dream land Ryuu's eyes open wide as various arrays suddenly sprung to life, anyone who would visit would see him sleeping peacefullyand only those with 'Grand Master' level knowledge in array and with Immortal Level strength might be able to see through the ruse.

Draped in black cloth he left the room while sticking strictly to the shadows he had an investigation to complete after all, and he was greatly excited thinking about all those great detectives he had read in the novels, and him acting as one made him feel as if he is in cloud nine, 'Detective Ryuu hmm it somehow seems cool and nice now if only I could capture and store it so that I may view myself doing awesome detective work later on, hmmm ideas ideas so many ideas what to do.'
