Chapter 185: Captain Mao & Surprise articles

Captain Mao:" You could have done this from the start, but you wanted to trap me with my own words didn't you. You profited from my traits as a were-wolf."

Tianlong Yun looked at him with the same teasing look he said,

Tianlong Yun:" Don't tell me that you are going to go back on your words Captain?"

Then turning completely serious he continued to say,

Tianlong Yun:" But yes you are right, earlier we were in a fight together, it would be stupid of me if I didn't. Furthermore, don't pretend like you didn't take it seriously, your attacks were critical if I didn't have my current strength."

There was nothing Captain Mao could say right now. Everything was true, earlier he had really been too serious, and his attacks were meant to take his life.

He had been carried away from his anger and rage. This showed his weak spot as a were-wolf perfectly. Also, the intelligence of Tianlong Yun, in using this weakness.

Looking at what had happened tonight in retrospect, all the time Tianlong Yun had been in control of the situation. Every word he said, every tease had a purpose.

No matter how much he hated Young Masters, and silk pants in especial, he couldn't hate Tianlong Yun. Quite the opposite actually, he thought it would be really fun working for someone like him.

And for the first time in a while, he started to think, that he probably had a chance to achieve his goal. He had a chance to destroy the people responsible for his daughter's ra*e and death.

Seeing his lost look, Tianlong Yun said to him with the same serious tone of earlier,

Tianlong Yun:" From now on you will work for me without any questions asked. Let me make myself clear once and for all.

I am not a good person, Captain Mao, I have never thought I was. I am someone who would do anything to reach his goals.

Like I said earlier this planet is too small for me, and one day I will leave this place. But until then, this country and this planet will work for me.

The people you are looking for the Eye In The Sky are just a small organization in my eyes. They are just a bigger bug, in this nest called Earth."

Feeling he had gone too far with his words, he threw a look towards a stunned Captain Mao, and continued with an unfazed voice,

Tianlong Yun:" Perhaps what I told you is too much, you don't have to know more at the moment. I just wanted to tell you to throw your ideas off the window when you work for me.

You will be coming with me tonight, and stay somewhere safe. First thing in the morning I want you to contact and gather your previous team to work for me.

I also want you to create a mercenary team with people I will select and offer your services worldwide. I will be the one to accept all your missions.

That is all for the moment."

Apparently this was the night to be stunned and shocked for Captain Mao, something he would have never imagined, but Tianlong Yun was proving it wrong every time he said something.

Captain Mao was really stunned, it seemed like Tianlong Yun wasn't a young man but a sly old fox, with the experience of more than a hundred years.

He knew how to make people attracted to his words, and also to keep them hanging and wanting to know more.

He was someone who thought of all the possible angles all the time. What he meant by that was that by training you could create a trained martial artist, but only with the real fight, you could make a soldier.

This was precisely the idea behind the mercenaries, but there was also one more thing that Captain Mao seemed to overlook.

By having a mercenary group under his control, Tianlong Yun could attack or destroy any opponent that didn't know his place. But that is a story for another time.

Seeing that he wasn't getting any answer from Captain Mao, Tianlong Yun said with an easy-going voice,

Tianlong Yun:" What happened Captain Mao? Did the cat eat your tongue?"

Captain Mao was startled awake and said quickly,

Captain Mao:" No Master, I was just thinking about your orders, Master... How should I call you Master?"

Tianlong Yun wasn't surprised by Captain Mao's words, he seemed like a straight-forward guy, so he just said calmly,

Tianlong Yun:" Don't think Captain Mao, that is my job, yours is to follow my orders. As for my name, you can call me Master Tianlong Yun."

This was truly the night of getting shocked for Captain Mao, after all, who hadn't heard about the death of the waste, of the Tianlong House.

But wasn't he supposed to be dead? Wasn't he supposed to be a waste? But remembering the intelligence of the guy in front of him wasn't difficult to understand what was happening.

It was at this time that Tianlong Yun's phone ringed and he got a message. Opening his phone, he saw that it was a message from Doctor Song.

He immediately thought of the assignment he had given him last time and opened the message. Just like he thought, it was the list with the materials that wanted to get auctioned beside the cure.

Opening the list and seeing mostly antiques marked by Doctor Song, Tianlong Yun didn't feel they were important. Some of them were inscribed with symbols and inscriptions but those were pathetic for him.

Just when he thought that there was nothing interesting there, and those were just some materials from which they could get some extra money, he saw 3 great materials.

The first one seemed like three blades of normal grass lawn, but the person who wanted to auction it was saying that it was a special type of grass.

A type of grass, that had helped him fight some kind of decomposition disease. And the price he was asking for it was more than 200.000$.

Normal people would treat this as a joke, or just some lunatic's crazy words. Probably this was the reason that Doctor Song had put this article close to the end of the list.

Who would believe that normal lawn grass had such power and effect? Who would be as crazy as to pay that much for that grass?

But Tianlong Yun saw something that almost made him jump from happiness, this wasn't normal lawn grass. These three blades of grass weren't normal.

If someone looked closer in their leaves, they could still see a light blue color in there. It was similar to the color of the moon, in full moon night.

This was the primary characteristic of the 'Immortal grass'. He had thought that he had to search so hard to find this herb, but now it was in front of his eyes.

200.000$ was nothing compared to the importance these three blades of grass had for him. He was ready to pay 10 times more than that just for one blade of grass.

This was truly good news for him because now he didn't need to worry about the longevity of his puppets anymore. He would be able to use them for a long time.

In that happiness his eyes strayed towards the second article, it was an old ring in really bad shape. It seemed like some old cheap imitation of a ring actually.

The ring seemed to be made of silver, but due to its long time being used, it had started to turn black and had lost its shine.

Its owner claimed that the ring was his family's hereditary object, and had been in their family for more than 5 decades.

According to his forefathers' words, the ring was manufactured by a great person of their time and it was priceless.

But due to bad times and his financial situation being really bad, the owner had decided to sell this ring, and make out a living for some more time.

The price he was asking was really high though, he was asking to sell this piece for more than 500.000$. It seemed truly madness to buy it, especially seeing that he didn't even have the certificate of this article being original.

But that wasn't what caught Tianlong Yun's eye in this old ring. Neither was the fact that it was ancient or from its beauty.

What caught Tianlong Yun's attention in this ring was a small craving in the inside of the ring, and a pattern in the outer side of it.

They seemed like careless work of the manufacturer in the process, but in reality, that was an inscription symbol.

More precisely it was an inscription symbol for a space ring. According to the symbol, space didn't seem big, it was around 1m cube, but what held more value in Tianlong Yun's eyes were its materials.

If this was truly a space ring, then it was certain, that there was a concentration of a void stone, in the alloy used to make the ring.

If he could have this ring and take the concentration of the Void stone inside it, he could remake the ring with a bigger storing capability inside it, he only needed some extra materials.

Having a space ring, and especially a space ring with big storage would be a very big help to him, and not only to him.

Since there was something like this in front of his eyes, this meant that there must be other Void Stones found on earth, which people are using mistakenly for some low forgeries.

He just needed to look more carefully and he might find a lot of them. this made him even happier, but looking at the third article he was about to scream from happiness…
