Chapter 25

A/N: This chapter is quite rushed as today was rather hectic for me. Hopefully, the quality of this chapter hasn't suffered too much as a result. I'll apologise in advance if it's bad though.

"Guang Biao"

"Yes, my king?"

"How did you get this throne?"

Inside the same abandoned warehouse, Huang Yu had been frequenting recently, there was a beautiful throne inside.

When Huang Yu saw it, he had a dumbfounded look on his face. Was Guang Biao's fanaticism getting worse?

"My king, this lowly one merely felt that you deserved a splendiferous place for you to rest when you come here. Hence, this lowly one invested some money from the city into your excellency's comfort."

Without his eyes leaving sight of the throne in the room, Huang Yu asked drily, "And you didn't think that you might get arrested for misappropriating funds like this?"

"My king! What do you mean? How could buying something for your comfort possibly be a misappropriation of funds? The city should be honoured that their tax revenue is going to you!" Guang Biao shouted out with nary a hint of shame in his voice.

Huang Yu finally turned to look at Guang Biao with a deadpan look on his face before sighing.

He really wanted to slap him right now.

Noticing Huang Yu's displeasure, Guang Biao hurriedly added, "My king, this lowly one doesn't wish to brag, but despite only being the captain of the mecha brigade in Eastsea City, I have quite a bit more influence than that. May I elaborate?"

Huang Yu's displeasure disappeared as he heard Guang Biao's words. In its place was curiosity. "Continue…"

A bright smile graced Guang Biao's face as he received permission.

"I know a few people in the higher up position. You could say that I have some 'dirt' on them. Naturally, these tidbits of information are horribly terrifying for them, so much so, that it could ruin their lives should the information get out. Hence, they have no choice but to submit to my demands, in turn, you as well my King. With this, you could say that this city's money might as well be in my hands."

Huang Yu raised an eyebrow when he heard this. This Guang Biao, despite acting so stupidly in front of him, was pretty damn devious.

No wonder he could become the captain of Eastsea's mecha brigade although he was an orphan.

"Guang Biao, that's enough. I came here today to discuss something important." Huang Yu said firmly.

Noticing Huang Yu's tone, Guang Biao became serious as well before kneeling down in front of Huang Yu. "What would you like to discuss, my king?"

A cool smile appeared on Huang Yu's face. "Let's make a cult."

Guang Biao's eyes burst wide open when he Huang Yu's words entered his ears. "A, a cult my king?"

Seeing that, Guang Biao couldn't help but burst out into a shit-eating grin.

"If that is your wish, then this lowly one shall definitely carry it out! I'm sure that the other three will be more than happy to contribute to spreading your name!"

"Ah, wait a minute. You can't use my looks nor my name for this."

A look of surprise appeared on Guang Biao's face.

"Why not my king? Your name should be spread to the four corners of the world."

Huang Yu sighed. "Did all your IQ just disappear? Look at my age at the moment. Do you think that someone looking like a child could be a figurehead of a cult?"

Guang Biao opened his mouth to refute, but closed them again. A look of contemplation once more appeared on his face.

"In that case, should the members address you the same way I do, my king?

"That'll be fine."

"My king, we'll also need a logo…"

"I'll leave that to you, Guang Biao." Huang Yu stated before beginning to walk away.

As Huang Yu was about to leave, he remembered something. "Do you have anything that can store energy inside of it for extended periods of time?"

Guang Biao seemed a little surprised at Huang Yu's question, but the surprise on his face was quickly wiped away before a frown replaced it.

Huang Yu seeing this frown felt a bit of trepidation. In order to gather members for his cult, he would naturally need to have an incentive for them to join.

What he was planning to do was to put vital energy inside a container before giving it to Guang Biao.

Then, with Guang Biao making use of the vital energy inside the stone, he could heal people and call it, 'an act of God'.

The power of healing of vital energy was immense, to say the least. When he tested it on a bird that was close to death, a bit of vital energy instantly sent it back into tip-top condition.

Although there were healers that could heal at the same level as using vital energy, they were few and far in between. Not only that, how many of those few great healers would heal a random nobody on the street?

It wasn't that difficult to gain the loyalty of others in this case. All he had to do was give those who were suffering a ray of hope and there would a high chance of them becoming devout followers in the future.

Of course, Huang Yu didn't need to go through so much trouble. He could have just kept brainwashing everyone.

However, he only did it to Guang Biao because Guang Biao was a horrible person from what he had known of him. His conscience didn't sit right with him doing it to innocent people.

"My king, if I remember correctly, there should be something that matches your descriptions. They are called rough energy stones."

The trepidation inside Huang Yu's heart instantly faded away when he heard that. With a whew, he asked Guang Biao, "Will it be difficult to obtain?"

"No, my king. They are actually quite cheap: only 1000 coins per stone"

The sides of Huang Yu's lips twitched up when he heard that. This situation would be good for future expansion if his current plans go well.

"For now, just buy ten of them. I'll fill you in with what I'm planning to with them later." Huang Yu said before beginning to leave once more.

"My king! What will we be calling this organisation?"

Huang Yu didn't stop as he replied.

"Let's call it, Nox."
