When Kai and Diso closed the shop and went to find themselves a restaurant where they could have a quiet drink, many people in the crowd continued to watch them...
In a strange coincidence, one of those people was that clown who had tried to get Kai to sign a contract with the Blood Commonwealth Alliance. At this moment, he was completely terrified, only now did he realize that he wanted to provoke such a nutcase! But he was also happy because he had gotten a lot of the information he needed. Now he knew the bastard's name and where the outlet was located.
Although this guy had no connections, but here if his Head wanted to know where Kai lived, it wouldn't be very problematic. Just need to dig up some information by snagging the data in the ownership of the outlet.
In the Border Beast City, everything had transparent documentation, although you couldn't get information about anyone just at will, but if you had your own intelligence networks, it was a different matter....
Although the structures of the city suppressed open espionage, but quality intelligence was not touched, as it could also be considered part of the master's power.
There was a logic to it. If a master could gather and control large groups of people, conduct quality planning and command, it was part of his power and authority. It was just like every other aspect of Border Beast City. If you were strong, the rules of the city worked for you. Although it was cruel, but in return, such a system cultivated many strong masters.
When the clerk learned more information, he immediately ran to report what he had seen to his Head, he hoped that he would get a big profit for it!
This was happening many places in the plaza, some even sent people to spy on Kai and Diso right away to be the first to get close to them.
Right now Kai and the fat man were already sitting in a small establishment, it was open air and one could enjoy snacks and alcohol in the fresh air. A large tree with red leaves stood beside them, covering them from the rays of the scorching sun. After all their adventures today, it was just about time for lunch.
The table they were sitting at was round and stone. And in its center was a small array that made the small area in that place very hot, like a red-hot frying pan. They were brought fresh, thinly sliced raw meat, and they could roast and eat it themselves. They were also brought many other viands.
Since they had gotten a trading post with a lot of good merchandise, Kai was sure that they would have a steady income from sales in the near future, since Diso was really good at it. So he didn't hesitate to spend the energy stones they had been given back at the Food Bureau. The third jug of wine was now standing beside them, and the fatty's eyes were already glistening...''
- Brother, just six months ago, I couldn't have imagined the circumstances I'm in now... I'm in the Border Beast City, which is stronger than the capital of our empire in terms of total power, and I've obtained my own property here, which is unbelievable! You know what's even more unbelievable? - The drunken Diso said.
- It's that we achieved this without any connections... I'm used to any problems being solved by my father, and I got a lot of things for nothing...Eeek! - The fat man hiccupped.
- But now! When we got everything just by using our own power... I realized that I should not even think about the Western Trade Union, but about living my own path! I must surpass even my great-grandfather! Bro, and all of this only happened because of you! - Saying that, the fatty went for a hug.
- Okay, fatty, stop it. You're not handsome enough for me to want to hug you. - I was teasing Kai.
- Brother Diso, I have confidence in you! I'm going to have to rely on you for the next few months, because I want to go to the Quest Hall tomorrow and look for a trial mission. I don't think it will take me too long, but I'll need to scout the Wasteland and see what it's all about. - Kai said and continued.
- And after this mission, I'll probably take something more difficult, which will take me a lot of time. Thankfully, now I'm at the third rank, and I have permission for such missions. So, you can consider that all our property is in your hands and you can use it as you see fit in the coming months. But I'll warn you right away, I'll probably need a lot of money for closed cultivation when I return. Hehehe. - Kai said with a laugh.
- You can count on me, as you can see, I accomplished the first mission with flying colors! - Diso said proudly.
- Hooray is not the right word, you did it even better than expected! Hahaha. - laughed Kai. Although he had always been a conditional loner, but now he was beginning to realize that good and proper friends were also very important. Fatty had gotten here by coincidence in the first place, but because of that, Kai had a solid rear that would help a lot in his future plans!
- The causelessness of Fortune, is the second law. It is impossible to grasp the causes and effects of the manifestations of the universe, as if everything is solved by throwing a dice with an infinity of edges, which gives birth to the most incredible patterns. - Kai said to himself.
- What are you saying Brother? - The fat man asked in a low voice.
- Nothing, hehehe. Let's keep drinking Brother Diso! - Changing the subject, Kai said.
- Here's to us! - They said at the same time and clinked glasses.
At that moment a confident voice sounded near them.
- Greetings juniors, could you give me a moment? - A male voice said lazily.
Kai slowly turned his head looking at the speaker.
In front of them stood a rather handsome guy, of average height, waving a purple fan lazily. He seemed to be about twenty-five years old, and his appearance was distinguished by the fact that his hair and eyes, as well as the fan, had a slightly purple hue.
But what surprised Kai the most was that he was at the beginning stage of the Cloud Sphere. And standing beside him were three peak Cultivator guys, it seemed like they were his entourage. Looking at his chest, he saw the number 91 there.
"Glory ranking! This guy is definitely some kind of big shot..." - Kai thought.
- What can I do for you? - Kai said calmly.
- Hm! - The man snorted a little and continued. He didn't seem to like being addressed without proper respect.
- I am Tandu! Head of the Blood Commonwealth Alliance, and ranked 91st in the Glory Rankings! - The master announced formidably and with a hint of arrogance.
- ''I heard that my subordinate brought trouble to you a few weeks ago. He was just a fool and didn't see your potential, offering you a contract to recruit mere weaklings, he's already been punished for it . - In an orderly tone, this Tandu spoke.
He seemed to think that when others heard his name, they should start falling at his feet in reverence.
Looking at this guy, Kai felt that when he spoke to them, it was as if he was fighting disgust, trying to hide it. Kai had already realized what type of person this was....
"Hmm, just a pompous idiot who revels in his power, without giving a damn about others." - Kai thought to himself.
- And what does Senior Tandu want? If you're only talking about that case, I've long forgotten about it, and I have no conflicts with the Blood Commonwealth. - Calmly replied Kai with a note of respect.
Even though he didn't like this guy, it would be foolish to provoke someone from the Glory Ranking right now, especially in the Cloud Sphere.
Kai could fight and get away from the initial Cloud Sphere master, except that this peacock had many other masters at his disposal. Kai couldn't handle them all alone... At this point, one had to think strategically and not give in to one's emotions, as temper was not one of Kai's personality traits.
- I suggest you join the Blood Commonwealth on good terms and serve under me! - Tandu announced proudly, he thought that all the newcomers in this city would go crazy at such an offer. The Head of the Glory Ranking himself! The great he was offering to become his subordinates!
- I'm sorry Mr. Tandu, but I will decline. My cultivation technique requires me to be free from outside control, if I come under someone else's command, I'm afraid that my cultivation will stop... I hope Venerable Tandu can understand that I have no malicious intent. - Saying this with a strained smile, Kai looked like he had an incredible sense of respect for Tandu, and wished with all his heart that he could join his command!
Realizing what type was standing in front of him, Kai already knew roughly how to communicate with him. It was easier to manipulate his pride than to confront him. And Kai's explanation about his cultivation technique was plausible enough, as there really could be such cultivation techniques. Kai found a way out of the situation very quickly.
- Tzu! What a pity! - Without saying anything else, Tandu quickly turned around and started to leave.
It seemed that a few more eyes that were monitoring the situation also realized that recruiting Kai would not work and began to leave. They probably went to report to their elders.
