Chapter 72 You Can Call Me Grandpa!

"Mom, Dad, what are you talking about?" Meanwhile, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenager suddenly walked out of the room."Come here, my good son. Tell your father that you're his son, and what others have isn't worth a thing."

Fu Jinmei gestured to her son while mockingly looking at Shu Yuntu.

At this time, Shu Yuntu seemed to have made up his mind, speaking in a deep voice,

"Tomorrow I will find that kid and give him some money to get lost. If he agrees, then it's settled. If he doesn't, I'll send both him and his mother to the next world!"

"Mom, what on earth is Dad talking about?" The teenager sat next to Fu Jinmei.

"Don't mind him. He's senile," Fu Jinmei said disdainfully.

In her eyes, Shu Yuntu's approach was nothing but womanly compassion, lacking any backbone. Why bother handing out money for free when you can get rid of that wretched girl directly? What a waste of effort!

"Mom, I recently took a liking to a Hermès men's bag that costs over fifty thousand. Can you buy it for me?" The teenager looked up at Fu Jinmei and asked.

"Didn't I just buy you a Louis Vuitton men's bag last month for over thirty thousand?" Shu Yuntu said angrily.

"That was last month's, it's outdated now. I want the latest model," the teenager declared confidently.

"All my money will eventually be squandered by you and your mother!" Shu Yuntu said with frustration and anger, thinking of them both as vampires.

"Mom, look at what Dad is saying about me," the teenager said to Fu Jinmei, pretending to be aggrieved.

"You've got the nerve to snap at us, mother and son, but do you dare confront Shu Ya like that?" Fu Jinmei snapped back.

"You— Ah!"

Shu Yuntu abruptly waved his hand, asking himself what bad karma he had incurred to be plagued by this pair, one big and one small.

The next day, the Gourd Brothers reported to the human resources department on time, naturally with Hao Jian registering their information.

"Master, you're so skilled, why do you only work as a driver?" the second of the Gourd Brothers asked with confusion; even they as assassins made more than that in a month.

"Experiencing life," Hao Jian replied without looking back, while checking the personal information of the Gourd Brothers.

"You don't know shit, the master has seen through fame and fortune, hence returning to simplicity," Old Big, the Monk, thought Hao Jian was displeased, so he hurriedly chipped in.

"Big brother is right," Old Three added.

"The master wants us to be security guards probably to temper our will. Didn't he tell us that martial arts should start from the mundane? Don't you understand such a simple principle?"

The Monk looked at his brothers with a look that seemed to say how disappointed he was in their lack of understanding.

"Big brother is right," Old Three said again.

Hao Jian was at a loss for words, then looking at the three men's information he asked with some incredulity,

"Excellent Li, Outstanding Li, Stupid Li, what kind of nonsense are these? How much must your master hate you to give you such names?"

Hao Jian was genuinely speechless; could these even count as people's names?

Old Big, Excellent Li said with a wry smile, "Our master is a simple man like us, who can't read many characters, so he—"

"I'll give you new names," Hao Jian declared, looking lively, as if it was his place to grant the Gourd Brothers a rebirth.

"Really? Thank you, master!"

Excellent Li and the others hurriedly expressed their gratitude. In truth, they knew the names of all seven brothers were unpleasant, but being martial artists from a young age and illiterate, they had no way to choose better names.

"Hmm," Hao Jian nodded and pointed at the seven brothers in turn, saying,

"You'll be called Big Baby, Second Baby, Third Baby, Fourth Baby, Fifth Baby, Sixth Baby, Seventh Baby."

And so the faces of the Gourd Brothers darkened. Damn it, did they really become the Gourd Brothers?

"Master, I think our current names are pretty good, no need to change," Excellent Li said with a forced smile.

Compared to the names given by Hao Jian, he suddenly found the name Excellent Li to be quite nice, bizarre as it may be, but at least it had a commanding ring to it.

Unlike the names Hao Jian picked, which were not only bizarre but also incredibly tacky.

Hao Jian's expression darkened as he stated, "No, that won't do. I can't remember your names like that. It's better to call you the Gourd Brothers, it's easier to recognize."

"Alright," said Excellent Li and a few others, forcing a smile uglier than a cry.

"And to make it even easier for me to tell you apart, starting tomorrow Big Baby will wear red clothes, Second Baby will wear orange, Third Baby yellow, and so on. If you don't know how to dress, look up 'Gourd Brothers' on Baidu. If the attire isn't uniform tomorrow, you'll be sorry," Hao Jian hummed, his mischievous side taking delight.

The Gourd Brothers were speechless, washing their faces with tears. Their master indeed had some pretty special inclinations.

"So what do we call you, master?" Big Baby suddenly asked. Since they were the Gourd Brothers, surely Hao Jian must play some role, right?

Hao Jian raised an eyebrow, "You can call me Grandpa!"

"..."

The seven men had only blank expressions.

After completing the induction process for the seven brothers, Hao Jian took Big Baby aside and said with a serious tone,

"Big Baby, there's something I need you to do,"

Big Baby responded with due respect, not expecting to be entrusted with a task so soon, and eagerly said, "You just say the word, master." Sёarᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Then, Hao Jian handed Big Baby a document bag,

"I need you to follow and investigate this woman for a while. Here are her photo and various details. From today on, follow her. I want to know everything she eats, drinks, and disposes of daily. And make sure she doesn't notice you."

Big Baby glanced at the somewhat seductive woman in the photo and asked, "Master, is this woman a martial artist?"

"No, she's just a regular person," Hao Jian replied.

"Then there's no problem," Big Baby confidently assured. As long as she wasn't a martial artist, he could guarantee an undetected tail.

"Good, I'll leave this task to you then. Of course, once it's done, I won't let you go unrewarded. I will personally teach you and your brothers martial arts," Hao Jian knew that this was the time to offer some incentive.

At these words, Big Baby was visibly excited, thumping his chest in promise, "No problem, master, I will complete the mission!"

"Go,"

Hao Jian gestured with his chin to Big Baby, watching his receding figure with an indistinct smirk curling at the corner of his mouth.
