Chapter 470 - 470: Returning To Senkaku Islands

The sound clearly surprised and startled everyone present there, and especially the people from the Gao family. Mostly because Cui Xie's location and the direction of that slapping sound didn't match.

Their surprise turned into shock the moment that they saw and heard what happened next, as Li YunMu seemed to have slapped her own son, and then scream at him,

"Stop this Jian'er don't you think is enough what you have already done? Do you want to bury this family tonight?"

"Mo-Mother!? But mother he…"

"Shut up, I know already! But he is right, at the moment we can't make a move against him! There are much more important things to care about!"

No one had expected that the woman who seemed to care the most about her son, would suddenly act like that, and treat him like that.

Cui Xie on the other side didn't seem to care much about the scene behind him, as he just continued to walk calmly amidst the crowd and leave the place.

In no time he had reached his car and entered inside followed by Colonel Cao who seemed to be a bit displeased with him.

"Young Master Cui don't you think that you got a bit overboard today!?"

"You think so, colonel!? Then were you in my position, what would you have done? Don't try to spout bullshit like ideals and righteousness though, as I have already seen their true face!"

The colonel couldn't help but look a bit surprised and cornered as he heard those words. It seemed like Cui Xie was many times more mature and experienced than he had thought.

In fact, when he was assigned this mission, he had thought that he was just going to be the guard of some lucky brat, and it was only now that he understood that things weren't as he thought them to be.

But that wasn't all that Cui Xie had prepared for him, as he continued,

"Furthermore, we both know that the reason why you are saying that is due to the relationship you were trying to build with Doctor Huang, and the affection for Lady Li Yao.

You don't care about the Li family, and even less about that idiot Gao Jian, or Gao Jixie! Am I right?"

Hearing those words, the colonel was startled for a moment before increasing his guard and saying in a displeased voice,

"It seems like you have searched quite a bit about me Young Master Cui Xie!"

"What did you expect Colonel Cao, my life is going to be in your hands for some time! Even my family, my own blood disowned me without reason and threw me and my sister on the streets.

Surely you wouldn't expect me to blindly trust, to an unknown colonel, would you?"

"Haiz~! You are right, but careful because there are a few people that you can't afford to offend!"

"I surely understand that, but those people will be too busy to care about me in the meantime!"

"What do you mean?"

"Who was the ones that pushed away from the Cui Family elders colonel Cao?"

"It was me and…"

"That's right it was you, as a member of the army and Cao family together with the lady from the Li family!

I just had a fall-out with my uncle, not with my Cui family!"

"You think that they will believe this and not act against you?"

"They have no other choice if you think about it, after all the formulae of the potions and the deals are all in my name!

Should something happen to me, everything will go as a donation towards the army, government, and some charity funds!

Surely they wouldn't want the trouble to lose that much money don't you think?"

"You seem like a true poisonous snake Young Master Cui, but why are you telling all this to me?"

"Oh, I just wanted to warn you and treat you with honesty since my life will be in your hands, Colonel Cao. I am sure that you will know how to deal with these small matters right?"

"You are trying to bit more than you can chew Young Master Cui!"

"Well let me worry about that, you just do as you see fit!"

With that, the conversation between the two finished as they both seemed to have their own thoughts and ideas for the future.

…

In the meantime quite a bit away from the Gao family mansion, Eric had actually removed the flesh mask of young Chef Chen and was resting to recover his strength.

He had to use two escape talismans in order to escape the tracking of the Li Saint old man, who seemed to have even placed a mark upon his body.

Of course, it was almost impossible for him to have actually noticed the mark on his own, as the one who had done so was none other than the Dragon Empress.

Since she had already made a connection with him it was impossible for her to leave his body without suffering harm, so she had no other choice but to cooperate with him.

For that reason, not only had she warned him about the mark, but she had also taught him to use Dragon Force in order to corrode and disperse it.

According to his estimations, it would take him around 2 weeks to fully remove the mark from his body, and he didn't want to waste that much time in seclusion, for that reason he decided to leave the place.

Once he had created a foothold in this country he had intentionally sent Ren Jia back into her organization in order to collect information for him.

As for the news that Cui La had actually been taken away by a mysterious Master, that was partially true. What the world didn't know though, was that the mysterious Master was none other than himself.

For that reason, he had decided to take Cui La into Nightless Stone City, while he also checked on the development there as well.

As for the situation with the Li family and the others, it would have to wait until he turned back, as right now there were too many unknowns to him.

Firstly it was the attitude of Li YunMu even though she looked a bit conflicted he could tell that she didn't have much intention to truly join him.

Hell, even Li Yao seemed to be more on his side than that woman. For that reason, he would have to keep an eye on her more than ever before making another move.

Furthermore, there was also something else that actually surprised him, there was a sort of aura and connection between that old Man Li Saint and Young Master Gao Jian.

Now he didn't want to jump to early conclusions but it seemed like things weren't as simple as they looked on the outside.

Last but not least there was something that made him the angriest right now, his strength. He was way weaker than all those bastards he was dealing with.

He needed to increase his strength and fast! The best place to do something like that was through the system and his Senkaku Islands that were now fully conquered.

Masters and Experts from all walks of life and from all kinds of countries had appeared in there after his news release and were now searching every nook and cranny of the place.

While they seemed to get angry that there was no sign of the big recruitment that was promised none of them left the Islands due to the new opportunities that had been revealed.

Even though these things weren't made public there were a lot of organizations that had gotten their hands on the special potions formulae and recipes.

Not only that but there were also countless Martial techniques and Arts lying around the Islands ready to be discovered.

In a few words, the Senkaku Islands had actually turned into some kind of Experts Grave containing a lot of treasures and opportunities that no one wanted to miss.

In fact, a lot of organizations and powers had started to create their own settlements and areas in that place, turning it into some kind of autonomous villainous country.

Even though these powers seemed to have reached some kind of balance together, killing and violence were common in there.

Considering all these, the Senkaku Islands had turned into a sort of heaven for Eric and his people, as it was time for the Nightless Stone City people to show their selves to the world.

With those thoughts in mind, he decided to grab Cui La and leave China in the meantime, arriving at his destination in less than a week.

First things first, he quickly reached the entrance to his personal city and quickly entered inside. The moment he did so though, he was attacked by more than 10 machineguns, and 16 experts.

These guys fired first and asked questions later, as the voice of one of them rang through the place,

"Who are you guys, how did you get in here?"

"I am the owner of this Nightless Stone City, don't you have the sense to fire after inquiring!?"

"Hahahahah~! Like we would believe that this place is controlled and directed from the "Jade Fairies"! You better find a better joke!"

"Oh, really!? Then let me meet these Jade Fairies of yours!"

"Hahahah~! Who do you think you are? Just an unlucky idiot who doesn't know his place!"

"Is that so!?"

Eric wasn't really angry at them for firing like that without checking his identity, but he was surely pissed seeing how haughty and arrogant they were.

'Arrrggghhh~!'

"What is this!? Why are the puppets moving?"

'Arrgghhh~!'
