Chapter 53 - Next Step

"What about Shen Wei's business? Any good targets?", Shen Hua asked Min Su. Everyone is still at the table eating, when they heard Shen Hua, all stop and look at Min Su.

"His business is going badly. We got him out of the business of armor and weapons, and cloth. Shen Wei still has a few establishments around the city, but his biggest source of income is the murder business. I couldn't get any information on that, so no has no valuable target. If you want to attack the other two branches I have some information.", Min Su stopped eating and spoke with Shen Hua.

While Shen Hua was out the city Min Su insensently watched Shen Wei's business, he also investigated the other branches of the Shen family in case Shen Hua wanted to attack them.

"Other branches?", Shen Hua was surprised, he knew about some elders, but not that the family has other branches.

"Yes, the Shen family has other two branches, one on each border, their patriarchs are brothers of Shen Xiao.", Shen Ruo told Shen Hua. During the time Shen Xiao taught him, he told him about his brothers.

"How much do you know about these families? Do any of them have a grudge against Shen Wei?", Shen Hua turned to Shen Ruo, 'If they don't like Shen Wei they can be helpful.'

"They both loathe him and Shen Xiao. When Shen Xiao became a great cultivator their father gave him the title of young master, even though he was the youngest. After he took over they both tried to steal the family and Shen Xiao kicked them out. Since then they hate our branch of the family.", Shen Ruo told Shen Hua what Shen Xiao told him.

"So they're petty, envious, and profiteers. The kind of person who I can use as pawns." Shen Hua said with a sinister smile.

"Does Min Su have Shen Wei's list of properties in town?", Shen Hua asked Min Su excitedly. 'Shen Wei, I haven't been giving you a present in a while, today I'll make it up to you.'

"Yes, you want It?", Min Su got up, went to the desk, took a piece of paper, and handed it to Shen Hua. "Here it is."

Shen Hua looked at the list, containing a total of thirty properties. Shen Hua smiled looking at the list.

"All right! I need help, who can help me?", Shen Hua looked at everyone at the table. Everyone nodded, including Yami and the princess, which surprised Shen Hua. "Okay! I'll distribute your missions. Yami, I need you to go to the high school and talk to Shen Xua. Tell he that I sent you, if he doesn't believe it, say I'm Itachi. Princess, talk to your dad and make sure the city guards have a busy in an hour. Shen Ruo and Min Su, pick one of the branch families, go to it and asking about going back to town. Min Ji-", Shen Hua paused and smiled, "Let's light some bonfires."

Min Ji was the one who got the most excited, "Hahaha, it really is more fun when you're in town!"

After they had eaten everyone went to do what Shen Hua asked. Leaving only him and Min Ji in the room.

"Hey, what are we going to do now?", Min Ji asked sitting at Min Su's desk.

"First pick one of those names, Bakugou, Sanji, or Akainu. After that let's go buy fabric.", Shen Hua asked Min Ji as he headed for the door, 'I think any of these names combine with him.'

"Hmmm. I think Bakugou, looks more aggressive. Why is that?", Min Su said standing up and walking to the door with Shen Hua

"Because when we will burn the properties of Shen Wei we will not say that we are the young masters of the Min family, we will be Itachi and Bakugou. As for the fabrics, is for making clothes.", Shen Hua said leaving the office.

"Make clothes? Why do this? If you want clothes we can buy them.", Min Ji stood side by side with Shen Hua as they left the restaurant.

"By style.", Shen Hua said laughing. Min Ji did not understand but went with Shen Hua. They walked to the fabric store that Min Su opened for Shen Hua. They took the fabrics they needed and went to one of the rooms.

After an hour they both left wearing black overcoats with red clouds outlined in white, and a straw hat on their heads. They walked around the city getting a lot of attention.

Both walked to one of the largest restaurants in town, it is one of the properties on the list. When they arrived one of the staff, who greets the customers in front of the restaurant,

stopped them.

"Young masters, you two have a reservation?", the man was polite, after all he could not see their faces of the two in front of him, and he did not want to offend someone influential.

Shen Hua waved the man closer. When the man lowered Shen Hua molded a sandblade and placed it near to the man's neck, "No sudden movements, come into the restaurant and say nothing.", Shen Hua spoke quietly just for the man to hear.

The man did as Shen Hua asked. "Another exit?", Shen Hua asked menacingly as they entered the restaurant. The man shivered with fear and shook his head in confirmation.

Seeing this, Min Ji took out one hand from his overcoat and set it on the wall igniting it. Shen Hua undid the sand blade near the man's neck, "Can't you see the fire? Go warn people to leave.", hearing this, the man got up and began to move away as quickly as possible.

When he was distant he heard Shen Hua saying, "When you are asked who did this, say it was Itachi and Bakugou.", after saying that, Shen Hua turned to leave.

Seeing this, Min Ji covered his hand with lava and waved it, casting the lava and raising the flames, making it impossible to put out the fire. After that he followed Shen Hua out of the restaurant.

Both saw the fire rise and burning the restaurant. People went to see what was happening and saw the building on fire and two figures in black cloaks with red clouds and straw hats walking away from the building.
