“Zhufeng! Don’t…”
Ning Yuchen wanted to stop Chen Xiaobei but Chen Xiaobei had already downed the spiked liquor.
“For the sake of Sister Hua’s safety…” Chen Xiaobei said weakly, then using his Oscar-worthy acting skills, he feigned exhaustion and crumbling to the ground and then ‘blacking out’.
“See, this kid understands!” Ju Fei smiled with his sausage lips. “I give you three seconds to drink! If you don’t, I’ll do some artistic carving on your precious Sister Hua’s face!”
Then he took out a dagger and waved it around Sister Hua’s face.
“No! I’ll drink! I’ll drink now!”
Hu Ben was true to Sister Hua. He would just have to worry about the consequences of drinking the bowl of liquor later.
Hu Ben drank everything and in a matter of seconds, his large body started to sway. Before he collapsed, he glanced at Sister Hua.
‘Idiot…”
Sister Hua shook from head to toe. The rims of her eyes reddened.
“Captain, what should we do?” Liu Chen did not know what to do. There was no way to guarantee Sister Hua’s safety if she refuses to drink it. But if she does, she would have to fall into the dirty claws of Ju Fei!
Liu Chen could not accept either consequence.
“Let’s just drink…” Ning Yuchen said, having thought about it, “There were so many people in the bar just now. Who knows, the news might have traveled all the way back to base. The colonel will come and save us… If we don’t drink, we’ll be putting Zhufeng, Sister Hua, and Hu Ben’s lives in danger!”
Ning Yuchen was quite the fitting captain. He was calm and made an informed decision.
“Alright…” Liu Chen understood that Ning Yuchen’s decision had its basis.
Ning Yuchen was strong but he did not possess remarkable powers.
If he did fight them, Ning Yuchen’s mind would be too distracted with Chen Xiaobei, Hu Ben, and Sister Hua. His kind heart would not be able to focus on the battle.
It was all very clear to them. Ning Yuchen and Liu Chen picked up the bowl and fell into a state of unconsciousness.
“Alright! They’re all taken care of!” Ju Fei smiled, delighted by his accomplishment. “Take them outside and separate the men from the woman!”
“What about this woman? She has 30,000 combat power. Should I watch her?” The thug forcing down Sister Hua asked.
“Keep watch my ass! Give a bowl of that spiked liquor! I want to invite my brother to have a good time later. Why are you still standing there?” Ju Fei spat.
“Yes, yes, yes… I understand!” The thug nodded and then smiled. “Please send my regards to the leader, Ju Niao!”
“Shut up and do your work!”
The Ju Niao he was talking about was Ju Fei’s birth brother. His cultivation was Three-Star Patinated Bronze, which was also 43,000 combat power. He was one of the leaders of Black Cloud Faction.
And because he had this brother, the 30,000 combat powered Ju Fei could lead a group of thugs who were stronger than he was, turning tables and picking fights wherever he went.
…
Outer city, 66th Street.
There stood a pretty big mansion with a garden out front and a pool in the back. While it was no match to the inner-city houses, it was the most luxurious building in the outskirts.
This was where Ju Niao and Ju Fei lived.
Four flying cars parked in the driveway.
Ju Fei walked in the front. As soon as he reached the mansion, a group of his thugs walked up to him, lighting up a smoke and greeting him warmly.
The people following behind were carrying their unconscious guests. They locked Ning Yuchen, Hu Ben, and Chen Xiaobei into a room.
Then sent Sister Hua and Liu Chen to the second floor, into Ju Niao’s bedroom.
“Is my brother back?” Ju Fei asked with a cigar hanging from the corner of his sausage lips.
“Not yet…” one of the thugs said, “I think Boss Ju Niao went to visit the Formation Master at 1st Street! He wanted to change the formation here so that he would be able to draw more Spiritual Qi from the Qi Path that lies beneath the ground!”
“Absorb Spiritual Qi? For training again?” Ju Fei shook his head. “I really don’t know what’s with my brother. He had already resigned from his duty but he is still training! We’ll be forced to leave in 5 years’ time. What’s the point of doing all that?”
“What does that mean?” A dignified voice rang behind him.
It was a man who looked very much like Ju Fei. But while Ju Fei was overweight, this man was well-built and muscular!
“Brother!” Ju Fei gulped and then hurried over to greet him.
“If I don’t train hard, do you think you’ll be able to live in such a nice house and bring a bunch of your boys to go wreak havoc in town?” Ju Niao said in a frosty tone.
“Er… Of course not! Without your fists, we would both still be living in poverty.”
“Remember that!” Ju Niao said, “We still have another three years. If we work our way into 1st Street, we won’t be forced to leave and can even be treated as half-nobles!”
“Get… into 1st Street? How’s that even possible?”
“Retreat, all of you!” Ju Niao gestured at his people to leave before continuing, “The backup of Black Dragon Faction is gone! A new noble is rising to replace them!”
“The backup of Black Dragon Faction is Zhen Nan from the Lu family, right? Their family history goes back to hundreds of years ago! And, they are well supported by the governor! How is it possible that they are gone now?!”
“Something big happened!” Ju Niao said, “The Southern Town Star Temple on Earth was destroyed! They could not afford to rebuild the portal. Restoration will require a lot of resources. The Lu Family failed to protect it and they need to bear all the responsibility!”
“What… What happened?” Ju Fei’s eyeballs nearly fell from their sockets. “Earth is a low-ranking starfield. How could they destroy the Southern Town Star Temple? The very temple that the powerful people form temple built with his own hands! This… is unbelievable!”
“You and all the people of Northern Wilderness Starfield find it unbelievable but it’s true!” Ju Niao said, “The Silver Plume City’s higher-ups were shaken! The Lu family will be cast out soon! We’ll have to wait for the portal to be fixed to find out what really went down. But that does not concern me! What I am concerned about is the new power that is about to replace the Lu family! Knowing that Black Dragon Faction is loyal to the Lu family, the new power will definitely not support the Black Dragon Faction! They will grow their own power instead! If I get the opportunity to become their faction, I will be the next faction leader of Black Dragon Faction The both of us will live in 1st Street and become half-nobles of Silver Plume Planet! Just thinking about it gives me the chills!”
Ju Fei, too, got excited. “Big bro the best! Big bro the strongest! Your little brother has prepared two beautiful women for you. Take it as an early celebration!”
“Beautiful women? Where?”
Ju Niao laughed.
