Chapter 25 - Convoy Robbery

The convoy was moving slowly because of the people on the street. In front of a restaurant the carriage stopped due to a carriage that was unloading ingredients, preventing the passage.

Three women left the restaurant and went to the guards each with a tray of drinks, they went to the guards and smiled, "Our boss asked to deliver these drinks, as an apology for the inconvenience."

"Ohh, thanks." The guards took their glasses and took their drinks from them.

The women delivered the drinks to all the guards and then returned.

Some time later, the carriage had finished unloading and vacated the road. The carriage went in front of the convoy until the street was wide enough to side by side.

The guards of convoy began to feel sleepy and their eyes became listless.

Suddenly a child appeared in front of the last carriage, causing the horses to stop abruptly, taking the guards out of their tupor.

"Boy, do you want to die! How can you get in front of a carriage like that?" The one who spoke was the guard on the carriage reins.

"Sorry sir, I was joking and I didn't see the carriage." The boy's face was pale with fear, when he spoke his voice was shaky.

"How can you not see such a large carriage !? Next time you won't have -"

"Ignore it, we're falling behind, we have to protect the convoy, get out of front boy." The guard sitting next to the first one interrupted him.

The boy got out of the way and the carriage reached the convoy.

As they neared their destination, a series of blast sounds occurred above the building, beside the last

carriage of the convoy, drawing the attention of the guards in the last carriage and the guards following the train behind.

"What was this?" One of the guards following the train spoke.

"Ignore it, we should focus on protecting the shipment!" The same guard who sent the boy out earlier said: "Look, we've been left behind!" The carriage ahead had already distanced itself.

When they reached their destination the train carriages were taken to a narrow street next to the store.

"Now the b*stard just has to show up, when he does, my men will ambush him and kill him." Shen Wei turned to talk to his father.

"But why did you put merchandise only in the center carriage?" When she heard the news of the trap set by Shen Wei, Shen Xiao came back fearing for Shen Hua's safety.

"I couldn't take the risk being ambushed by a large group outside the city gates." Shen Wei spoke without paying attention to his father as he turned to watch the carriage, one of his servants entered.

"Boss, we have a problem." The servant didn't knock on the door and begin speak.

"What problem?" Shen Wei's expression immediately turned dark, normally he would have scolded the servant, but seeing his frightened expression, Shen Wei asked directly what the problem was.

"The charge-", the servant swallowed before continuing, "It was stolen."

"WHAT!?" Shen Wei rushed out to the carriage accompanied by Shen Xiao, when he arrived he saw a small gift-wrapped box in the middle of the carriage with a card written "From: Itachi / To: Shen Wei"

He took the box and opened it, inside it had only one iron coin. Shen Wei began to turn red, "B*STARD! I WILL KILL YOU, ARE YOU HEARING? I'LL KILL YOU!" As he spoke, fire coming out of his mouth burning the carriage.

As Shen Wei kept shouting Shen Xiao stared at the horizon, 'It seems that I worried for no reason, you are really impressive, but Shen Wei will find out about you, and when that happens I hope you are strong enough.' Shen Xiao did not care what happened to Shen Mu, he saw when he tried to assassinate Shen Ruo, so considered it as a punishment and did not interfere.

"I have to go back to the palace." Shen Xiao spoke to Shen Wei who was reprimanding his servants. In recent days Shen Xiao went to war meetings with the senior ranks of the country's army and the emperor of the contry.

"Hahahaha, that was amazing." Min Ji was very excited, he was smiling since the robbery was over.

"Really impressive, I didn't think it would be that simple." Min Su was ecstatic too, but kept his expression calm, 'It was a good decision to help him.', Seeing his men unload the items. Min Su looked at Shen Hua, 'How did you do it?'

"Well, that was the main item." Shen Hua took out a small vial out of his pants pocket.

"And what is this?" Min Su took the vial and analyzed it, Min Ji also looked at the vial wondering what it was.

"A drug, anyone takes it has a turbid senses for a short time." Shen Hua leaned back in his chair, "So, it went like this -"

Flashback - Before the Assault

"Send women with drinks to the guards on the convoy, I want the guards at the back to drink these glasses, the ones at the center these glasses, those at the front these glasses," Shen Hua told his restaurant manager pointing the trays.

"I'll make sure, that will be like as you said." The manager bowed for Shen Hua.

"I know you will." Shen Hua spoke and walked out the back door, then into go the alley where Min Ji was waiting.

They watched the womendistribute drinks, "It's on time. It doesn't spoil my plan." Shen Hua spoke and went to the newly unloaded carriage, "You know what to do." Shen Hua told the man who was going to drive the carriage, he is a Min Su guard, he listening to Shen Hua and nodded in agreement.

Shen Hua went to the carriage and got inside her, she had a hole in her floor.

The carriage began to move, Shen Hua waited for the driver's signal.

"It's on time." Min Ji saw that Shen Hua's carriage was in position, and the drug from Shen Hua should be working. Min Ji ran to the front of the last carriage, formed a small drop of magma on his finger, and threw it near the leg of one of the horses to stop them. The guard began to scold he, and he show a frightened expression.

While the guards were focused on Min Ji, Shen Hua's carriage entered between the second and third carriages of the convoy. The driver hit the carriage three times when it was in position.

Shen Hua used his skills to arrest himself under the carriage, he went updown to the front of the carriage and stood up on the wall, "Horses can shake, keep them calm."

"Yes sir" The guard answered and tightened the reins.

Shen Hua flexed his legs slightly, raised his hands above his head and looked at the back of the carriage in front of him, "Neither strong nor weak, to the right extent.", Taking a deep breath Shen Hua jumped, his hands clung to the carriage, with the cargo, he quickly set his feet on the carriage to fully lock himself, 'I did it.'

Shen Hua went to the underside of the carriage and stood near the door on the left side of the carriage, he slowly opened the door to make no noise and alert the guards driving the carriage. When he opened the door enough he got into the carriage.

Inside the carriage several expensive fabrics could be seen, they also had spiritual crossbow skins, the carriage was so full that Shen Hua could barely get in. Shen Hua tried to move as little as possible, he was touching all the items and putting them in his ring, the ring had no space to store all the items, so Shen Hua had to go back to his carriage by the same way, after doing this trip three more times managed to pick up all the items.

When he finally caught all, pulled out a small gift-wrapped box, 'I hope you like, Daddy. ' After placing the gift on the floor Shen Hua returned to his carriage. 'Now is just wait.'

After leaving the front of the carriage Min Ji ran towards the other point Shen Hua sent, 'I have to be fast, they should be coming soon.' When he arrived at the building Min Ji used a ladder Shen Hua had left to climb the roof.

On top of it were some bombs made to make a loud noise with little exploding power. Looking out at the street, he saw the convoy approaching, as the last carriage was passing, he ascended a bomb went up, after it exploded he ascended the next and continued until they were finished.

When she heard the first blast, Min Su's guard drove her carriage in the opposite direction and came in a small alley, then led her to the Min family casino.

-------

"And the rest you already know." Shen Hua just told Min Su how the robbery was done.

"Really, you're very smart. But what are we going to do with the items?" Min Su was interested in selling the items and making money for the Min family.

"Let's discuss at your office." Shen Hua went with Min Su and Min Ji to the office.

In the end it was decided that Shen Hua would have forty percent of the profit, Min Ji with thirty percent and the rest would go to Min Su. After deciding how to distribute the money, they started talking about how they would sell all the items without being caught by the Shen family. After they are over the plan, was getting dark.

Shen Hua stood up, "I'm going home, Shen Ruo must have come back from school, I want to ask about how went."

As soon as Shen Hua finished speaking Shen Ruo, with a flushed red face, walked in the door, "Brother, I need to become a cultivator, NOW!"
