69 Demon King Part: 2

"Well Brother Lin, It was a bit of a different time back then. Well, I've only heard all of this from my seniors and some other stories, I got from books. Back then, the war between humans and Demons wasn't much of a war. They didn't have much of an enmity, they just treated each other like neighbours. Sure, there would be some conflicts but that is something common even abong neighbouring human countries." Ku Wang explained to Zhu Long, who at this point was already very surprised. 'This is a really difficult process, out blood enemies used to just be neighbours, without any enmity. I wonder what led up to the point that the human and demons turned into such enemies, hungry for each other's blood." Zhu Long thought when he heard Ku Wang. "Brother Ku, do you know about how that all changed and lead up to the immense enmity between the demons and humans?" He asked Ku Wang with a hint of confusion in his eyes. Ku Wang smiled when he heard Zhu Long's words," Brother Lin, I don't know if this is the truth, it could have just been some story, modified through generations of being conveyed." Zhu Long shook his head when he heard Ku Wang and said," Brother Ku, It doesn't matter, this question will probably eat me up if it isn't answered. Plus, even if this is a story, there has to be some truth to it which might just have been modified to fit a person's taste but it will probably give some truth…"

Ku Wang nodded when he heard Zhu Long's words. He continued," Brother Lin, At that time, The Demon King was considered the most powerful demon and some of the humans were jealous of his power. Another reason for them to be jealous would go to another story that I had read in the library of my sect. It was said that the demon lord wasn't very much powerful in his younger days, he had little to no control on qi and could barely cultivate. His body was only at the first stage of qi condensing stage even at the age of forty but for some reason, one day, everything changed. The demon king suddenly changed, his power increased exponentially. His qi also increased at an immense level and by the age of fifty, The Demon King had reached the Seventh Supreme Stage! Just a layer away from the Immortal Stage, a stage that not many have reached even in history. This caused them to believe that The Demon King had a secret that allowed him to improve at a very fast pace which of course increased their jealousy on the demon King. So the human cultivators gathered up and hatched a plan to kill the demon King and share his loot among themselves. And I'm sure that Brother Lin can guess what happened from that moment onwards.." Ku Wang smiled towards Zhu Long. He wanted to leave the story on a cliff hanger and make Zhu Long feel annoyed.

I guess that might be the last time that I see her but I can't help but feel hopeful after hearing her say that she was sure that we would meet soon. Well I better not get distracted now. I walked towards my car and opened the door. I got inside and turned my phone on. It was 9pm, I had the meeting with the mobsters at 9:30 pm. I turned my car on and started to drive it out of the parking lot. The road was pretty busy but at least there wasn't a traffic jam. I shuffled through the different radio channels until I got to the OldGold channel. At times like this, I liked to listen to songs on the radio, especially old ones and these channels always played the hit old songs. But I didn't get much time to myself enjoying the songs, as my phone started to ring. I didn't even need to check who the caller was, I could just guess that It was Boss calling me, Mrs Kane. I turned the radio down and picked up the call," I'm on my way , you really don't need to check on me you know?" It was something that Mrs Kane always did. Everytime I have a mission, she would call me a few dozen times before it began. I never knew why she called that much but all I knew was that It was annoying.

"Adam, You better know who you're talking to. At Least show some formality when you are on a mission. I just wanted to check on you, where are you right now, in position?" She seemed a little bit angry at my response but I wasn't bothered by it. "No, I'll get there in 20 minutes." My reply was simple. I wanted to make it a quick reply, the shorter the call is, the better it is for me. "What The Fuck were you doing until now? You were supposed to get in position 5 minutes ago at the least but now you say that You'll reach the place in 20 minutes! What were you doing!?"
