Indeed, this Manual could improve a personâs movement skills, but if it was practiced, it could also improve a personâs strength, endurance, and other potentials. But Jin Hongzhong actually used it only for movement skill, wasting a gift from the Heavens!
I believe that after Jin Hongzhong saw Jiao Yaziâs teleportation ability, he naturally thought that what he was taught was a movement technique! It must be because of that that Jin Hongzhong believed that the ultimate level of the Manual allowed for instantaneous movement!
Thinking of here, I couldnât help but smile awkwardly. I believe that Jiao Yazi wouldnât even think of it in a dream that someone he instructed would end up creating the worldâs largest theft gang!
âSo, since your disciple Little Dong saw me use teleportation, he thought that Jiao Yazi and I were related?â I asked Jin Hongzhong.
âRight! I judged that you were related to my master because of this matter! I, Jin Hongzhong, have lived for such a long time, but it was the first time I heard of someone else being able to use the same prowess as master!â Jin Hongzhong said.
âIf Jiao Yazi knew that his disciple had turned into such a great thief, I wonder what kind of appearance he would have?â I hadnât forgotten the ring, so I sneered.
âA great thief?!â Listening to my words, Jin Hongzhong suddenly got emotionally excited! He stood up and arrived before Jiao Yaziâs portrait. Kneeling while he trembled, he said in a serious expression, âI, Jin Hongzhong, swears in front of my master here that I have never stolen a single thing! Our Feiyan Gate has never harmed an honest person. We only take from the corrupt officials what is not theirs and then help the needy! That ill-earned money is not theirs, so why canât we divide it to those who deserve it?â
âMoreover, most of the money of our Feiyan Gate is invested in charity and public welfare organizations. On top of that, we have clear rules in our Gate that any national treasure will never be sold to foreigners!â
âDonât think that you are some great thief!â I sneered, âIf it werenât for me being so strong, my wife and I might have already been killed because of that Ring of Love!â
âMr. Liu, I can guarantee that it was an accident! That guy had made the decision without getting any authorization!â Jin Hongzhong said, âAfter we bring something back, we will seal that stuff for a while. If there are no rumors, then we will sell it! As for jewelry and antiques, the owners had gotten them through illegitimate ways in the past, plundering them from our land of China. They were smuggled by foreigners to foreign countries. So once they are lost, the owners donât dare report to the police. But who could have thought that after we got the ring, that Steven would find a mercenary group and find out that it was our Feiyan Gate that took it! At first, I had decided to return the ring, but the others in the Gate were very opposed to my decision. If we returned it, then where was Feiyan Gate going to put its face?â
âWe then put the matter down until the other party came knocking on our door. Only then did I realize how serious the situation was. I had wanted to return the ring but who would have expected the people under me were greedy for money and had already sold the ring! In the way, you ended up getting in trouble while our Feiyan Gate escaped the calamity. After all, our ability is just a movement technique, if we had to fight those mercenaries, we would absolutely have no chance of winning.â
I cursed in my heart: If you really understood that Manual, let alone mercenaries, even if you had to fight against martial artists, there wouldnât be an issue! Those who had studied under Du Xiaowei didnât have as much experience as Jin Hongzhon, but their body was already several times stronger than the average person!
âAccident? Humph, your original intention might have been good, but we are looking at the present. You kept on proclaiming how you have never taken a personâs legally earned wealth, but what about your subordinates? If they can sell the ring against your commands, what else can they not do?â I said sarcastically, âDo you know what information I got? It said that you are the worldâs third largest theft gang!â
When I said till here, I walked by Jin Hongzhon who was still kneeling on the ground, pulled down Jiao Yaziâs portrait and ripped it into shreds, throwing the remains on the ground.
âYou... you... how can you be so disrespectful to our master!â Seeing my actions, Jin Hongzhong was enraged as he pointed his finger towards me and said, âIf our master knew that his disciple treated him like this... he will never forgive you!â
âIndeed, he wonât forgive you, not me!â Seeing Jin Hongzhongâs appearance, I could see that he still regarded me as one of Jiao Yaziâs disciple.
âYou... I am talking about you!â Jin Hongzhong exclaimed breathlessly.
âI am not his disciple,â I said with a smile.
âWhat? You arenât his disciple? Then why did you claim that you were related to Master Jiao Yazi! Who are you deceiving, you obviously know Master Jiao Yazi! Since the moment you were stunned by looking at the portrait, I knew that you had something to do with him!â Jin Hongzhong said.
âFirst, I never denied that I know Jiao Yazi. Second, I never acknowledged that I was his disciple, that was something you came up with!â I said, âAs for the relationship, it can be said that my elder brother and Jiao Yazi have a master and disciple relationship!â
âYour elder brother? Even if thatâs the case, Master Jiao Yazi is still your elder, how can you be so disrespectful to him! Where is your elder brother? Bring him here, I want to talk to him!â Jin Hongzhong was obviously angry.
My elder brother? My elder brother was in Hell... If you can find him, I will estimate that your time in the world had already come to an end! However, Jin Hongzhongâs words reminded me that Jiao Yazi had indeed returned to the underworld. Even if I couldnât find him, couldnât I look for him through my elder brother Yama (King of Hell)! Donât I have a communicator!
Thinking of here, I waved at Jin Hongzhon and hinted him not to speak. I was disinclined to explain to him that he had misunderstood the hierarchy â Jiao Yazi was my elder brotherâs disciple, not the other way around! When Jiao Yazi came here in a while, the matter will naturally be solved! It was better to avoid an argument. Even if I explained to him, I think he wonât believe, so it was better to just let him see it for himself.
Thinking of here, I took out the black jade locket that I had gotten from elder brother Yama! It seems that I could only talk to elder brother Yama with this, just like a walkie-talkie...
I wasnât afraid of Jin Hongzhong eavesdropping as it was simply impossible for him to guess that I was talking to the King of Hell. As for the communicator, as the chairman of Shuguang International, a global technology leader, it wasnât that surprising to see a special communicator on me.
Soon, the communicator was connected. An excited voice from the other side made me feel lost, âBrother Liu, you finally remembered to call me. It seems that you are living quite well in the mortal world! Ah!â
