the mere scar faced boy, dragged the dead Gang Leader by the pickaxe lodged in the corpses neck, and climbed on the same pile of money.
“as of this moment, I will now be the gang leader!” he than sat and waited for the response.
‘this is seriously the best I could come up with…’ he sighs inwardly and waited for the response.
after all, in his fuming he unleashed all his pent up hatred, and then telling them to kneel.
‘and they knelt, so surely I have authority now…’ then he realised he was still releasing his intent and sucked it back up.
the breathes that were being held, were now released, making everyone gasp in relief.
“so, what do you say to your new boss!” Ma Qing asked cockily.
“We welcome our new boss with gratitude!” they all shout.
‘do they share a brain also~’ I chuckle, “so, who was the previous secretary?” one walks up and gulps, “um..
she was the sister of Liu Yung, Liu Qin..” he blinks, and asks “where is she?” “um..
she went out with a few guards to get a drink she should be back any-” “YUNG’ER” the women rushed and ran immediately.
I immediately pull the pickaxe out of his throat, which caused his body to slide down the pile of money.
‘ah shit, very bad first impression!’ “hello!
I’m Ma Qing, and-” “I’M GONNA KILL YOU!” she pulls out a knife and rushes to stab me.
but then before she could, my annoyance, released my killing intent again, causing her to freeze.
‘hmm?’ I tilt my head, slide down the pile of coins, and pull the blade away from her.
though she still looks glass eyes, and her gaze never left my body.
“so, your also very experienced in the Killing Dao?” because a slight hiccup, only led me to loose slight control, He didn’t actively release it, yet this women was experienced enough to still feel the rest.
Ma Qing grin politely, and pat her back, “please relax sister~ since, I rather wanted your brother to be my master at first, you’ll become my sister, ok?” Ma Qing grinned politely, and shake her hand.
she seems to have relaxed slightly, and he also started regulating her with breathing exercises.
he points at one of the members, “you come here!” he comes, and he start ordering, “buy a burial matt!
tell everyone to mourn our old gang leaders death, but to the public, say that the Gang leaders grandma passed away and to bring mourning money!” the thug nods and immediately starts getting things done.
Meanwhile, he takes Liu Qin to a secluded corner and starts befriending her, he even brings a bottle of wine.
*** within 2 hours, she was crying in his arms treating him as a little brother!
‘sadly this is only her drunk state, I need to get her to relax and spill more.
than he started learning things.
he confirmed the connection to the Su family, one of the outer families with high influence on the outer city, that’s why the shark teeth gang had the ability to create a martial artist.
another thing is, that they plan to use the Shark teeth gang to stir up conflict, causing them to make more money, which in turn allows them a chance to become an inner city family!
within moments, she falls asleep, and I find the old Gang leaders sleeping quarters and put her to rest here.
than, I finally start looting the old gang leaders body, which had a martial arts manual on cultivation and one of Sabers!!
‘Ghostly Blood Saber?’ ‘External martial training: Shark Skin Grinding?’ he took both books, looted the body, which had 30 taels of silver notes, and a few loose silver.
next he decided to look at the wardrobe, seeing what should be the plan.
‘with the Su family being the sponsors, and us paying off the constables, we still make enough to start cultivating a martial artist, but on the other hand, i would have to buy certain ingredients..’ he already faked the death of the Gang leader, but a few members would surely have a loose tongue, ‘so I’ll have to say that Liu Yung went into seclusion to break through..
but what if they know about his cultivation level?’ he kept trying to make a believable story.
he than decided to go home, and take a little nap, as the sun was about to rise.
he fed the twins breakfast, and taught them how to play knights, before doing his daily 4 hours of mining.
*** [Stone Crushing, head Piercing Pick Technique: 1613/10,000 Perfection] another 200 points, which was impressively fast, he also made 120 copper again, than finally, the 2 guards finally spoke to him.
“hello, your name is Ma Qing correct?” the agency member asked.
“umm, that’s right?
what can I help you with?” “well, during your times you mine, we’ve noticed that you mine an exceeding number of stone, much faster than any of your peers!” one says with great enthusiasm.
“We also notice, that you haul your carts by yourself, which shows you have considerable strength and capabilities!” “um..
thank you?” Ma Qing didn’t know how to respond, since this was his first time he was being praised by people other than his parents or siblings.
“well, we’ve been thinking and also contacted our headquarters, and we’d like to employ you to the Shen Family’s Agency!” my eyes immediately widen at the name!
The Shan Family is a well renown family, that works in the inner city, with it being one of the top 5 families!
their power rivals all of them, and their fluid techniques are extremely swift yet powerful!
“wait what!!
what do I get?
how much taels!?” they both chuckle and respond, “you’ll get 10 taels of Silver a month~ your already capable of mining for 7 taels per month with your sheer skill and will.
we also looked into your history, knowing that you have twins, so, we are willing to move you and your siblings into the given dorms, plus, we are willing to turn you into a martial artist!” his eyes widen with shock!
how would he expect that a golden opportunity such as this would come across him!
‘wait a minute…’ he realised he is already connected to the Su Family, due to the- ‘wait its only an outer city family!’ he was surely confident that he didn’t need to try the Su Family, and just work for the Shen Family, and since his task as the Shark Teeth gang leader isn’t anything stable, he could just thrust the position onto someone else, or delegate the work.
‘if I knew I would get this opportunity, I wouldn’t of made such a scene!’ he grinned, “when can I Start!
and do I learn martial arts immediately!” “well, gather your things, and come back with us!
we will then take you to the compound.
immense excitement build up within him!
‘to work for the Shen Family, and inner city family!
influence spanning across the entirety of the city and its connections to the great sect!’ he couldn’t help but feel giddy.
‘maybe, if I push myself, and become a high level martial artist quickly as possible, I might be able to get my siblings into good schools, teach them martial arts, maybe even build my own family!’ Truly, he gained ambition that soared above the stars.
