Chapter Eight: The Silver Moon - Part One
I sighed to myself and walked towards my future personal service at my home.
When I reached his small, dilapidated house, I saw a few people outside.
However, I chose not to stop and waited to understand what was happening inside. It didn't take long before a large, overweight black man came out, kicking a small girl and holding her by her hair.
His clothes were torn, with dirt and scars covering his body. No one gave him a second glance. He had golden hair and golden eyes, which, despite having witnessed much cruelty, still held a fighting spirit. He looked to be around seven or six years old.
Meanwhile, the girl was screaming for him to let go, but all her efforts were in vain.
He struck her in the stomach, and before the girl could respond, she flew and crashed to the ground, clutching her head in pain.
One of the men approached and restrained her.
According to her backstory, she had been abandoned in the poor district.
Yet, she possessed at least five times the strength of an ordinary person.
This was due to her special lineage.
She kept screaming, trying to resist, but the man holding her by the hair didn't budge.
I could see twisted smiles on their faces.
Despair started to take over the girl, and when she thought everything was lost, she lost hope.
I realized it was time for me to make my appearance.
However, before I could act, I saw a luxury car entering the alley, heading toward them.
I didn't pay much attention. I sped toward them as quickly as I could.
"Let me see what you'll do," she said as I ran toward them.
Immediately, I kicked the black man in the stomach, sending him stumbling backward and spitting a mouthful of blood. Then, he stood up and glared at me viciously.
The black man said, "Who are you? How dare you interrupt my business? Do you wish to die? Do you know who I am? I am the leader of the Black Tiger Gang."
I looked at him as if he were a clown.
"Sebastian, knock him out. Don't kill him."
Sebastian, the head servant, replied, "Yes, young master, as you wish."
Sebastian grabbed the black man with immense strength, and I noticed the pain on the black man's face as he suffered from the blow.
It was an extraordinary sight. In that moment, a huge and powerful man was reduced to a sick and frightened cat. He was in a weakened state before Sebastian.
Although Sebastian was the head servant, his strength and calculated moves showed that he was no ordinary person.
While Sebastian was controlling the situation, I approached the little girl who was still on the ground. Her eyes were filled with tears, but despite the pain she felt, there was a spark of hope in her eyes.
Looking at my future services, I smiled gently and extended my hand to her, saying, "Are you okay?"
I smiled kindly at the little girl, helping her up from the ground. "Are you alright?" I asked carefully, trying to reassure her.
Her eyes were still wide in shock, but she nodded gently.
At that moment, I felt a car approaching down the alley, and at the same time, the wind started swirling around us, as if it carried invisible signals of what was to come.
Sebastian said, "The situation has been handled, young master."
Then, I picked up the girl in a princess carry.
"Alright, Sebastian, bring me the legs and let's go. I have what I need."
Sebastian replied, "Yes, young master, I will bring them."
Before we could even start walking, a luxury car stopped, and an elderly man and a child, about my age, got out.
The child who got out of the car said, "You, let go of this girl! Do you want to kidnap her? Uncle, let me save this girl from them."
Looking at the child, I realized he was the protagonist, Lin Feng, the only heir to the Lin family.
In the past, Lin Feng's father, Lin Shan, had angered my father. At that moment, my father destroyed the Lin family, and the only survivor was Lin Feng.
In that instant, the only danger on my mind was that if I had been even one hour late, Lin Feng would have acquired my personal service. This thought sparked a fury inside me.
"Sebastian, break his legs."
"And injure his servant so that he won't be able to heal for over ten years. Then, mark this child with a tracking seal and hide it inside his body so that no one can recognize him."
After finishing my words, I walked past them as if I hadn't seen them, as though this scene had never happened.
My words were firm, with no room for refusal.
I looked at Sebastian, who nodded briefly before proceeding to carry out my instructions without hesitation.
The elderly man was in shock, while the little girl watched what was happening with eyes full of fear and astonishment.
Time passed slowly as Sebastian executed the orders I had given him, and his facial expression didn't change.
A few minutes later, he finished his task. He then approached me, and I looked at him coldly as if I wasn't involved in this terrifying scene.
Sebastian said, "The task is complete, young master," in a calm voice.
However, I knew this was just the beginning of many encounters in the future.
Without wasting any more time, I quickly headed towards where my car was waiting for me.
Time passed, and a month later, on Sunday afternoon, my father was away on a business trip and was supposed to return by evening.
This was the day my father would destroy the Lin family.
On this trip, my father would meet with Lin Shan's son, Lin Feng. This meeting would result in the destruction of the Lin family, and the only one who would survive would be Lin Feng and the elderly servant.
The elderly servant was not an ordinary person. Even though his training was not high, he was the brother of the leader of the Vast Universe Sect.
He was also a major supporter of the protagonist Lin Feng.
This was a golden opportunity for Lin Feng to enter this sect.
Anyway, I had already started creating the secret organization, and the first member was the black man.
Today, I would go with the Black Tigers to one of the warehouses where many poor and orphaned children were gathered. Today, I would teach them the art of disguise, use the Soul Binding Technique, and enforce loyalty and obedience.
In addition to brainwashing them from a young age, I could create an army for myself. After all, I had the Silver family with all kinds of techniques for cultivation, alchemy, and spells. The Silver family didn't lack in these things.
I had already used these techniques on the black man, and they worked perfectly without any flaw.
I then left my room and headed toward where the black man, known as the Black Tiger, was.
Once I arrived, we immediately headed to the warehouse.
After an hour and a half of traveling by car, we reached the warehouse where the children were.
All I was thinking about at that moment was that all I needed were the children and the other resources, which were easy to acquire.
After entering through the warehouse door, I went to the first floor where the children were.
There were 16 children in the room, ranging in age from 8 to 15 or 16 years old.
There were 6 girls and 10 boys, and two of the girls, about 15 years old, were looking at me with wide eyes. It was clear that they were impressed by me, but now was not the right time for that.
After observing them carefully for a while, I began speaking.
"Hello everyone, my name is Ryan Silver. Yes, I am from the Silver family, a wealthy family."
"I took you from the streets, gave you shelter, and food."
"I know many of you are wondering why I did this, as there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world."
"And you're right, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world."
"I took you and gave you shelter so that you could become my strength."
"I took you and fed you so that you would remain loyal to me for the rest of your lives."
"I want to give you power beyond what you've ever imagined, if you swear loyalty to me."
"I promise no one will treat you like trash again, and you will be by my side as long as you're loyal to me."
"This will be a very difficult decision for a normal child your age."
"But you are not normal. You've lived your life and seen the truth of this world."
"Now, I will give you a better life, but only if you dedicate that life to me."
"Do you accept?"
If you don't want this, you can leave this place without looking back and without feeling any obligation, which will sever any future connection. Think about this carefully.
If you accept to become my strength, I will open a new path and a new future for you. If you don't want to, you can go anywhere; there are many like you. All it takes is to bring another group.
Before I started my speech, I noticed a firm yet kind gaze from the children in front of me. Think about it carefully. If you agree, you will gain a lot of training resources with skills and techniques.
The children were initially stunned because this was the first time they had heard something like this. But they truly saw the reality of this world — the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest. They realized they had no future on the streets and might die or become slaves to the rich.
The children said: "Sir Ryan, this servant swears loyalty to you and promises to give his life for you, always obeying your commands."
In front of me, it was both touching and funny to hear 16 children swearing like this to another child their age or younger.
It made me wonder about this world and I grew even more certain that this world is harsher than my previous world.
Anyway, I was satisfied with their response with a small smile.
Alright then, line up.
The girls form one line, and the boys in the age group of 14 form another line. Those younger than 14 form their own line.
Alright.
After I finished talking, the child began organizing the children into the requested lines.
The children on the first floor were gathered in three rows, like a group of young criminals.
Alright, I'll start now…
After an hour, we finally finished. I used the soul-binding, loyalty, and consequences technique on them.
Now, I will teach you the disguise technique.
Leakage of any technique or information related to the organization will result in betrayal, and those who do so will be tortured to death.
Those who are 13 years old or younger will be taught the disguise technique and other training skills.
Those who are 14 and older will be taught the disguise technique, sword techniques, boundary-breaking techniques, and other skills.
The Black Tiger will take you to the place where you will live and train. Each of you has the freedom to follow the path that suits you in training.
Those 14 years old or older will be trained, and then distributed to the combat college across the continent. Don't worry, you will enter through secret doors, so there's no need to fear being rejected. The important thing is that you will first undergo a year of training, and then you will be distributed.
Each of you will receive a monthly salary, and there will be special rewards for any contributions you make to the organization.
From now on, this organization will be known as the Silver Moon.
From now on, you are all essential and foundational members of the Broken Silver Moon organization.
After I finished speaking, I turned and headed for the exit without looking back.
After I left the abandoned factories, I saw the Black Tiger, also known as the Black Panther, waiting at the exit.
I looked at his face and spoke.
"Take them to the prepared location, and then take over the Lin family's mine. Is that clear, Black Tiger?"
The man, known as the Black Panther, said: "As you command, my Lord. But my Lord, how do you want me to take over the Lin family's mine? It's a strong family, and they have a long history. They also have good relations with one of the major factions. I'm someone who hasn't even reached the soul level yet, I'm too weak to take over the Lin family mine. Please, excuse me."
Looking at his face, I could see the Black Panther was sweating, likely having been running for over three hours.
"Don't worry. The Lin family will be destroyed this week. With the disguise technique I gave you, you can scare anyone who tries to oppose you or stop you. Just frighten them by altering your aura to appear strong. And if anyone powerful dares to confront you, just run. Anyway, you are weak, and the disguise technique doesn't give you actual strength."
"By the way, I gave you a soul-energy training skill, which is one of the best techniques in the world. You should also teach this to the child. I've provided many techniques and combat skills, such as the grip technique, swordsmanship, spear fighting, and many other weapons and training resources you can use."
"You have four years to break through to the essence level. If you can't, then you should commit suicide."
The Black Panther said: "As you command, my Lord."
"Alright then, I'm expecting good performance from you. Don't disappoint me."
