Chereads / A THIEF IN TALES OF DEMONS AND GODS / Chapter 6 - CHAPTER 6: STRENGTHENING SERVANTS

Chapter 6 - CHAPTER 6: STRENGTHENING SERVANTS

When I got home, I noticed something was wrong. So I called Ming for a report.

"Ming! I feel something is off. Did the inscription activated?" (Kwangsoo)

"Umm.. m-master, it's not a big thing.... One of the maids.. err... well she is just a slave after all." (Ming)

"What? Tell me?!" (Kwangsoo)

"One of the sacred family young master, took a liking to one of the younger maids named Jisoo. She was taken and raped and was given back to us with compensation money for you." (Ming)

"What?! Who the hell is the young master your talking about?!" (Kwangsoo)

"I-it is young master Shen Fei sir!" (Ming)

"F**king d*ck! That a**hole is a f**king energizer bunny. Is his role in life to f*ck every young girl in Glory City.... Hehehe, just you wait, I wasn't gonna take revenge for the body's former owner. But I guess fate won't let me. Hahaha... just you wait, I will give you and your brother a fate worst that death." (Kwangsoo)

He visited the young servant Jisoo to see if she is okay. Jisoo's eyes was red from crying. It shows that she was in deep pain. She was forced into slavery by her parents to pay for their debt. Her future was already over. The slave seal was permanent. Ones a slave will always be a slave. The inscription tattoo is at the back and front chest. It is connected to the heart and brain. It prevents a person from commiting suicide and gives loyalty to her master only. When orders were followed from the master, it sends a pleasure sense to the brain. If defying, it sends a pulse to all pain receptors.

The only way to get rid of the slave seal, is for one person to get to heavenly fate realm. A person have to get the law of life and death. It will help to surgically remove the slave tattoo and free them from fate.

"Jisoo, I know it's been a hard life for you. And as your master, I will change your fate a little. But in order to do that. I need all of you to get stronger." (Kwangsoo)

He ordered her to not go out the compound. He also told Lena and Ming to gather the servants.

"Okay! I have an announcement! In the next few days, I will be taking a vacation from school and alchemy association. I will focus on everyone's cultivation. If you want your fate changed. I will grant it to you. I have a way to get rid of those cursed slave marks. I picked each of you because, your the slaves that got betrayed by your family. You are much like me. There is a rank beyond legend rank. In fact, legend rank is a starting point of real cultivation. And also, other than me, feel free to beat anyone through self defense. Even kill them but don't leave any evidence. I will also teach you survival and assassination technique. We will be in closed cultivation for a month. These are my orders." (Kwangsoo)

"Yes master!" (All servants)

They have a slither of hope in their eyes. To them, they don't care if it's true or not. They will cling to it. Hearing their young masters speech, gave them to see a different light on seeing their master as a person. Their loyalty and trust went up a notch.

After the speech, he left the house and headed towards the divine family meeting hall, since he got an invitation from Chen Zhenlong the divine family patriarch.

He came in and introduced himself to the patriarch. Chen Zhenlong ordered the elders and servants out. He wanted a private talk to Kwangsoo.

"So, what can I do for you Mr. divine family patriarch?" (Kwangsoo)

He said those words arrogantly and sarcastically. Chen Zhenlong stayed quietly and stare at him and also noticed the hatred i his eyes.

"Your Chen Yue! Haha I knew it!" (Chen Zhenlong)

"Wh-What a-are you talking about? My name is Lee Kwangsoo. See my face! I don't look like any of you Chen family bastards!" (Kwangsoo)

"Hahaha! No matter what you say, I know you are Yue! Your mother was my cousin after all. Although I am sorry for what have happen. Especially when I found out someone sold your home. I was gonna put a stop on it but when I found out who bought the house, I did a thorough investigation. You are Chen Yue, my godson." (Chen Zhenlong)

"I keep telling you I'm not. I hate the divine family. Why do you think I build a wall. Also, why do you keep persisting that I'm that so called godson of your?" (Kwangsoo)

The patriarch smiled at him with sad eyes.

"(sigh) To tell you the truth, I visited you and followed you secretly towards the alchemy association because I felt the blood bondage between us. When you were born, your mother took some of your blood and my blood towards an inheritance inscription. The blood is mixed up and injected to both of us. This will create a bond for us. Wether you change your looks or change whatever, I will know when you are near me. You are my godson and you and I share the same blood. So you are in turn is like my second son." (Chen Zhenlong)

"Sh*t! I didn't know that... So what now, you gonna tell your elders who betrayed me my real name." (Kwangsoo)

"No, on our records. You are dead. And it looks like you don't want to change your new name. But as your godfather, I wanted to apologize on what the elder did. I already punished him and made him outcasts from the family. His son took the position but their family has to pay compensation." (Chen Zhenlong)

He threw a storage ring to him.

"That there is your parent's inheritance and also the demon coins that you paid for your own house. I also added the money you spent on the walls and the inscription. Your dad also has a deposit in his name at the alchemy association. You could access it with the key and your blood.... Now for the gritty stuff... Your parents were murdered not died in an accident. I wanted to tell you when your older but when I found out your a genius. I beg to differ." ( Chen Zhenlong)

"So who killed them?" (Kwangsoo)

"We don't know.. But we found some evidence leading to the dark guild. Since your parents were famous for finding lost treasures. Your parents are actually treasure hunters. They even brainwash my son Chen Lian Jian. They sold their treasures at the auction every now and then. They are probably one of the riches people in Glory City. In that ring are also some treasures they found. They usually keep the most precious ones and sold the things that they see not worth keeping." (Chen Zhenlong)

"I'm surprised that you or the elders didn't keep it for yourselves. Why is that?" (Kwangsoo)

"Haha, to tell you the truth. We all did. But your parents have built a security in your ring. For us, its like a black hole. All that it did was eat. We can only put stuff im it than take anything from it. Only you and your parents can take stuff on it. I don't actually know what it is. Your mother told me they found an ancient inscription that they translated. And yes, they can read ancient scriptures after years of treasure hunting.." (Chen Zhenlong)

Their conversation took on for hours until the servants bring them their dinner.

"It's dinner time already? Time flies when seeing family. So Yue-- I mean Kwangsoo, do you want to stay here overnight? You can even stay at Lian Jian's room. He went to go camping with his friends. He said he will be gone for a couple of weeks." (Chen Zhenlong)

"Nah, I have something to do at home. And uncle, don't spread the word on how my sister died. We're not strong enough to deal with the sacred family. And I'm still trying to find evidence linking them to the dark guild." (Kwangsoo)

"Grrrrr... Those damn sacred family. Especially that Shen Fei. I want to get revenge myself, but Shen Hong is almost at legend rank. He is already a little stronger than the city lord. We can't use your testimony, they might think it's a fantasy of a child. But I will tell the city lord to be cautious." (Chen Zhenlong)

"Also, I might have forgiven you and the family, but there are spies from the sacred family and the dark guild everywhere. Please keep my identity a secret. And if they find out I'm still alive. They may send assassins endlessly until I'm dead. Keep it a secret." (Kwangsoo)

Chen Zhenlong nodded. And after dinner, Kwangsoo walked home. The next day, he delivered a message to the holy orchard institute and alchemy association that he will be taking time off for closed door cultivation for a month. He then stole some rare herbs and animal meat from the market. He took food supplies for him and all his servants to feast for a month.

He went home and went to the backyard. His backyard is enormous. It has plenty of farm land. He then deposited various quantity of fruit trees that he took on the time when he was living in the forest and planted them in the backyard. He instructed one of the security members to change his profession into a gardener in charge of trees and the plants he will plant in the backyard. He also instructed him on the daily care of each tree and plant. He then hired artisan to build 3 big water towers for his water supply and fences for the livestock he will put in. He also asked for a closed cage chicken coop. The chicken he caught can fly and are much stronger than an average person. He already have a couple of wells in the backyard but he needed a hand pump build. So he went towards a blacksmith and showed him the plans. He made sure to patent the design so he gets some of the profits when sold in the market.

He don't need an inscription master anymore. From the knowledge from the ancient scrolls, he can create an inscription array to ward off even above the legend rank. He also modified the arrays on his wall and house. His whole property has a sudden increase of spiritual heavenly energies that is good for cultivation. Its like having spirit stones.

He also gathered all his servants and made them use the soul crystal and impart each of them a superior cultivation technique. He also hand them self defense technique manual in his time in the army special forces.

"Okay, It has been a busy week. The fences are done, chicken coop is done. The rare herbs are planted. The water towers are done and full, connected to the kitchen and bathrooms. The toilet are installed that flushes out to the sceptic tanks. No more of that outhouse bullshit. But using leaves instead of toilet paper is a hassle. So using a small tub with soap to wash @ss is still in effect.... Now I'm almost self efficient. I have a gardener, a rancher and a farmer. I have cows the size of an elephant that gives milk. A chicken that breathes fire which lays spicy eggs and sheep's to make wool for clothes. I don't even know if I need to steal anymore. I have everything I need. Hahaha.. Oh, I forgot that revenge part." (Kwangsoo)

He made plans in sneaking in the sacred family to steal everything and castrate the 2 young master so there won't be any main branch family descendants. But he needs to wait until Chen Lian Jian's expedition is over. Since Shen Yue is part of the expedition. He want to strike and deal with everything at one time.

"I kinda feel sorry for Lian Jian, I did left a cabinet full of jewelry. I'm not into those. Only gold and silver interest me. Rubies and diamonds too. But jewelry, nah-ah. He probably just sell it at the auction. There were statues and vases. The actual coffin also. I think they are valuable historic artifacts. So he should not get empty handed. Nie Li on the other hand, tough luck bro hahaha. B*-atch... Mr I am all that. Mr I am so powerful but have a tiny penis." (Kwangsoo)

He then checked the storage ring inheritance. He saw that it have a tiny thorn mechanism on it. If a person wears it, it stabs the fingers. So it takes blood to activate it.

He wear it and felt a prick on his finger. The ring shined for s moment and he felt something click in the ring. He inspected the contents of the ring.... It was enormous. He them decided to put everything in his inventory since it's much safer, also easy to organize. He put the empty storage ring in his inventory too. He checked the important treasure category. What he saw was unexpected. He saw a pot and inside was instruction in ancient language. He took out the golden pot. Then read the description and uses.

"Hmm... well it's not the nightmare demon pot. It's a beast stone eater. So you put beast stones in it. Then if enough beast stone are eaten, the pot creates a spirit stone for use... Well, I guess it's useful. I have a lot of beast stones in storage, but I'm gonna keep the good ones." (Kwangsoo)

He put hundred of hundred thousands of bronze and silver ranked demon beast cores.

"Wha-? All that cores to make only 9 spirit stones? What a rip off.... Well at least the stones have plenty of heavenly energy." (Kwangsoo)

He used the stones while meditating. But he only broke through one rank. He now has a 2 star black gold rank in spirit force and still at 3 star rank in physical body strength.
