Chapter 277: First Seed (Double-Edged Pavillion)

Tianlong Xia:" You sure you want to talk about that now!? Your violent friend is running away, you know!"

Hearing that Tianlong Hu Die was finally remembered of her mission, of the reason she was in here in the first place.

Immediately recollecting herself, she went to the side of the terrace and looked at her target from there.

The manager seemed to be still a bit sleepy, and sloppy trying to remember what had happened and why was he in there knocked out.

It took him a while to finally form the puzzle, but there were still unknown dark pieces.

Like who was that shadow that knocked him out, and why did she just leave him there.

Who was that little girl working for, and what were her skills? Why was she following him, and where was she now?

There were a lot of questions to which he couldn't find the answer right now. But he could feel that he was still being watched.

He didn't know for how long he had been unconscious, and due to his cultivation, he couldn't even feel the coldness of the place or some kind of numbness.

The real question though, was what he could do from here!?

The safest route he could think of was getting back at the Tavern, and report to his boss, as soon as possible.

It was such a shame though, he would have to lose his special night, tonight. But there was nothing he could do about it.

With that thought in mind, he looked around him for any suspicious person or situation and started walking towards the Tavern.

In the meantime, Tianlong Xia and Tianlong Hu Die had been observing him all this time and could predict his next move.

Tianlong Hu Die was trying to think a lot right now, she was under immense pressure, if this guy left and reported to his boss, then her plans would get really complicated.

Her targets would be more careful, and EITS would start paying more attention to her actions. She couldn't let such a thing happen.

But while the manager was walking towards the exit of the red district, at the alley where he had been a moment ago, a part of the wall moved, and there could clearly be seen the name of the place.

'Daddy's little girl!"

Not to mention that with Tianlong Xia's and Tianlong Hu Die's senses they could see that the courtesans in that place were little girls, or at least their bodies were.

While, Tianlong Xia and Tianlong Hu Die were disgusted at such a thing, and such a place, they were also kind of excited, because they found their prey's weakness.

There were two ways they could go about this, the first was to honey trap their prey with what he liked most.

But that was really disgusting and downgrading. They had a moral line too.

Not to mention, that Tianlong Hu Die had a shiver for a moment, thinking of her earlier situation.

The second way was the good old threatening way.

Since this guy was taking so many measures to not be noticed in the way coming here, then he probably didn't want anyone else to find out about this.

Furthermore, there was no information of this guy having such a hobby even in the memories of Shi Qi, so most probably he was trying to keep this a secret even from EITS.

Tianlong Hu Die and Tianlong Xia didn't care why he was doing that, what they cared about was that they found his 'Achilles heel', and they were really happy to use it.

With this thought in mind, Tianlong Hu Die ordered Shi Qi through her master-slave seal to make contact with the guy, and say just two lines.

' I know about your secret hobby! Daddy's little girl!

Come to the city outskirts in 10 minutes, if you want to keep it a secret."

She decided to send Shi Qi for two reasons.

First, she had met the guy before, so this would just confuse her prey more, as to who was tailing him.

Secondly, she was the one with the highest cultivation in her team and could fight him head-on, if he decided to act too smart.

There was one other line in her order to Shi Qi though, if he doesn't accept the invite, then she had to either knock him out and kidnap him, or try to kill him.

They couldn't allow him to return to the Tavern and report.

According to Tianlong Xia's estimations, that guy was a 1st level Foundation Establishment cultivator, so Shi Qi could take him down as she was a 2nd level Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Giving her orders Tianlong Hu Die and Tianlong Xia disappeared from the terrace they were on and started running towards the outskirts, where they would have to stage the meeting with their prey.

There was no way that Tianlong Hu Die would show her face to the guy, or really meet him. No, she would just use a letter to do the talking for her.

The reason why they asked him to come there was just to see how desperate he was to keep his secret hobby, still a secret.

Clearly, for some reason the manager wanted this to still continue as a secret because he arrived at the place before the appointed time.

This made the two ladies really curious about why this guy was going to such lengths to keep it a secret, but now the most important thing was to just use that fact.

The manager arrived at the designated place but found no one there, and his senses weren't picking up any presence in the area too.

It was like this was a deserted place because he couldn't feel anyone around him, in a radius of around 30 meters. He was alone in there, and the darkness didn't help much either.

It was at that time though, that he found a note at the place where he was standing. It was meant for him because it had his name written over it.

The note was simple,

' Now I know how much you want to keep your little secret hobby hidden. And this has made me really happy.

From now on you work for me! Keep everything that happened tonight a secret, and just continue with your job. I will notify you when I need something from you."

The manager was angry with himself at this moment. He had been too careless tonight, too damn careless.

To think, that he would make such a rookie mistake, and end up in this situation. Working for an unknown guy or organization.

Because not even the letter held any clue to who he was serving. Now that he had a better look, there was a logo over the letter, it was a double-edged sword.

He didn't know the meaning of that logo, or to which organization it belonged. He only knew that from today his future was in their hands.

Tianlong Xia and Tianlong Hu Die weren't far from the place where the manager was standing, crumbling that letter in anger.

They were watching everything that happened from a distance and knew that they had this guy in their pocket. For whatever reason he wanted his secret hobby, to remain a secret.

But as long as that reason existed, this guy worked for them from now on. And with the passage of time, his ties to the organization would keep getting stronger.

Tianlong Xia gave her little sister an appreciative look and said,

Tianlong Xia:" Congratulations little sister, it seems that your mission will be a success. Your first seed has been planted!"

Tianlong Hu Die was really happy at this moment, and for some reason, she kept behaving like a little kid in front of her Big Sister Xia and jumping in her bosom she gave her a tight hug.

In that warm hug, she said with a voice full of happiness,

Tianlong Hu Die:" Thank you, Big Sister Xia I was able to do this tonight just because of your help. Thank you!"

Tianlong Xia was happy that for once, her little sister was behaving and showing emotions appropriate for her age.

That was why she said in a tender voice,

Tianlong Xia:" There is no need to say thanks little brat, we are a family. Or don't tell me that you gave up on hubby!?"

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped over, Tianlong Hu Die immediately took out her nails and said,

Tianlong Hu Die:" What? Never! I will always be by his side. I will always, always love him."

Seeing her reaction Tianlong Xia started laughing once again at this little girl's antics. She was finally acting her own age, and not some intelligent and mature 10 years old.

Then remembering something she asked,

Tianlong Xia:" Oh yeah, little brat what is the name of your new organization? What was the meaning of that symbol on the letter!?"

Tianlong Hu Die left her embrace, and then turning to the mature and intelligent 10-year-old, she responded with a deep voice,

Tianlong Hu Die:" Well since you asked, I will tell you, Master! The name of the new organization will be 'Double-Edged Pavillion'.

Which is also the meaning of that symbol, a double-edged sword. While this will be my information organization, all my agents will be double or even triple agents.

So I think this name describes this new organization well, and at the same time, it reminds me not to trust them too much.

So I think it's the perfect name and symbol."

Tianlong Xia was startled at the change in her behavior for a moment, but then when she finished she pinched her cheeks, pulling on them, and said,

Tianlong Xia:" You cheeky little brat, pretending to be mature in front of me!"

But then turning serious, she continued,

Tianlong Xia:" But you are right, it is the best name and symbol to represent it. So be careful and don't get ahead of yourself.

If you need help, never hesitate to ask me!"

The two ladies had one final touching moment together, and left towards the hotel…
