“Brother, help me.” The little boy begged Tang Luo tearfully. He really didn’t want to be beaten by Tang Zhen anymore.
Though he had practiced martial arts since childhood, he had never been beaten by anyone before.
As for why their afternoon team of three couldn’t defeat Tang Zhen and the other two girls, the little boy naturally concluded it was because Tang Zheng wasn’t as strong as his own brother. If it were his brother, he wouldn’t have any problem fighting three alone.
Young boys always have blind confidence in their loved ones, and it’s the same for martial artists.
“I can’t help you.” Tang Luo rejected the little boy without hesitation.
“Why!” Disappointment filled the boy’s eyes. He couldn’t believe his brother would stand by at such a critical moment. For the first time, his childish heart felt its faith in brotherhood being tested.
Ignoring the heartbroken look, Tang Luo calmly said, “But I do have a
three-step plan for you.”
My brother hasn’t given up on me after all. Tang Xing was moved to tears, and quickly asked, “What is it?”
“The first step is that I can make you a set of mortal-level armor. You can train in it. It might be a bit tough, but it won’t hurt when you get hit.”
“I don’t want to be a turtle, I’m a martial artist!” The little boy’s eyes were filled with pride as he scorned the armor.
Pretending to be a martial artist, but got beaten up by a little girl.
Twice, Tang Luo shot a sidelong glance at the little boy and shrugged.
“The second step is to apologize. You need to respectfully apologize to the girls, Tang Ya and Tang Zhen are both well-bred ladies, they will forgive you, and then you won’t need to be beaten up anymore.”
With the introduction of the second plan, the little boy’s eyes filled with disappointment as he looked at Tang Luo. He couldn’t believe that his brother would ask him to apologize to that crazy girl.
Ignoring the pain in his body, he sat up abruptly, venting his turbulent emotions: “I won’t! I didn’t do anything wrong, one day I am going to beat her up, pin her down and punch her face. I’ll spank her too, for bullying me! I always keep my promises!”
Wow, planning to pin a little girl down and spank her, is this pervert nature born or nurtured? Really, it’s admirable.
Tang Luo felt he needed to revise his impression of this little boy: “Alright, I have a top-notch plan for you! Once you achieve the inner vision stage of the Mortal Realm, I’ll give you a treasure. I guarantee that after that, even if Tang Zhen gallops as fast as she could, she still wouldn’t be able to catch up with you, and you can defeat all three of them alone.”
“Really?” The little boy’s eyes were filled with stars.
“Totally true, now get to your training.”
The brothers ended their delightful talk and started to practice.
Inside the training room, Fang Han clenched his fists tightly.
He never hated his keen sixth sense as much as he did at this moment. If it weren’t for hearing Tang Luo’s words, he might have continued to misunderstand, thinking that Tang Luo would willingly let him use such an invaluable treasure for practice.
So it was just because Tang Xing wasn’t yet at a level where he could achieve inner vision, and they didn’t want to waste the value of the treasure.
At this moment, what surged up in Fang Han’s heart was rage and resolve.
“Young master, we have arranged three shops on Linfu Street with Qingfeng Bank for 410,000 gold. But the current three shops, although connected, do not meet the requirements of the design sketches. What do you think we should do?”
“How long would it take to demolish the three shops and rebuild them according to my design sketch?”
Chang Fu estimated the time and replied, “Around forty days.”
“Fine, demolish and rebuild.” Tang Luo was quite satisfied that the time to rebuild wouldn’t delay him too long. After all, this was his first shop, and simply renovating it wouldn’t fully bring out the shop he envisioned.
Men often have inexplicable persistence, perhaps making the shop in his mind appear exactly the way he wanted is one of them.
What’s the big deal about spending money? I have plenty, Tang Luo thought nonchalantly.
Chang Fu noted Tang Luo’s instructions and asked, “Young master, have you chosen the steward you want?”
“I have. Tomorrow afternoon at one o’clock, in my room, invite the sect head as well. It’s time for us to meet.”
Next afternoon.
South Ninth District, Building Five, Flat Number Seven
A scarred and fierce middle-aged man and a young man who looked restrained, sat opposite each other at the teaposition table, with young Tang Luo on their left.
Tu Tong, as the oldest person there, did not dare to speak first. After entering the room, he obediently sat at the teaposition table. He had already drunk six cups of tea.
But Aji was even more nervous. Suddenly being promoted from a bamboo splitter to the manager of an industry, that kind of luck is something most servants couldn’t even dream of. Initially, it did excite him a lot, but after some careful consideration, he started to get scared.
The biggest problem was, he didn’t know anything, aside from having a good memory. He couldn’t even fully recognize all the characters.
The two of them sat on opposite sides of the tea table, each sipping their tea in an extremely formal manner.
“No need to be tense, we are going to be colleagues in the near future.” Tang Luo wore a relaxed expression on his face. Naturally, his joy stemmed from the fact that he felt as if he had stumbled upon a treasure.
To be at the peak of the Mortal Realm is a rather vague evaluation. An accumulation of around 9000 spiritual power would generally fall into the category of being at the peak of the Mortal Realm. But the Tu Tong sitting opposite him, despite his intimidating appearance, certainly met that level.
The spiritual power value of 9999 (6061) explained everything, he was a 24k pure peak Mortal Realm.
Thinking about how such a powerful expert would be under his command in the future made Tang Luo beyond happy. He had already poured him six cups of tea. Seeing Tu Tong’s humble and respectful demeanor gave him the assurance that there would be no difficulties in their communication in the future, making him even more pleased.
While he admired fighters who were wild and unyielding, when push came to shove, obedient ones were easier to handle, even if their level was slightly lower.
Tang Luo figured that Tu Tong was the perfect choice for the position of the guard at the venue.
Even though Tu Tong could feel Tang Luo’s gaze, he wasn’t able to accept it gladly. After all, he was still in the dark about this task of guarding the establishment up until today.
What is the business? He had no clue.
Where is it located? He didn’t know.
When does it start? He wasn’t sure.
What is the task of the guard? No idea.
It could be said that if it wasn’t for the reputation of the Sect Head being strong enough, nobody would take on such a task with three unknowns. But under the threat of Tang Sen, Tu Tong felt it was too late to back out, so he braced himself and asked: “Young Master, do we know where our venue is located?”
“At the end of Linfu Street, near Fengqing Alley.” Tang Luo casually pointed to the map of Xiling City hanging on the wall.
Following Tang Luo’s finger, the two had a look at what would be their workplace for the next five years.
Tu Tong was familiar with Linfu Street, but he was still puzzled, “Young Master, I have some doubts.”
“Go ahead and ask.”
“Linfu Street and Fengqing Alley are both places where all kinds of people converge. If you want to set up a business there and look for a guard, an ordinary Mortal Realm expert should be enough. Why, Young Master, did you issue such a high-paying task? Is there any particular reason?”
“Reason? Not at all, this task is super simple, you just live in the establishment, manage the finances, and throw out anyone who dares to cause trouble.” Tang Luo spread his hands, signaling that it was as simple as it looked.
Tu Tong nodded to show he understood, but he still felt alert, it shouldn’t be that simple, right?
Watching Tu Tong and Tang Luo’s conversation, Aji became even more nervous, he had no idea how to manage this task properly.
He had just heard the Young Master say that this new business was a new building, rebuilt after tearing down three shops.
Could he really manage such a big enterprise? Aji was losing confidence quickly.
“Alright, you…” Tang Luo, for a moment, couldn’t figure out how to refer to Tu Tong and just settled on something random.
“Boss Tu, there’s nothing else for you at the moment. Once the establishment is renovated, you can move in. I will notify you when the time comes.”
“Understood, Young Master, I shall take my leave.”
“Hmm, take care.”
Tang Luo stood up and walked Tu Tong to the door. When he returned, only he and Aji were left in the room.
“What’s with the long face? Smile a bit.” Tang Luo teased, looking at Aji’s worried, almost teary expression.
“Young Master, I can’t do it.” Aji thought it was better to be upfront, messing up the young master’s enterprise was a big deal, he was terrified. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝓂
“Don’t panic, look at you, acting so timid, I thought you were bold.”
Aji’s eyes looked desperate, no matter how courageous he was, he would never dare to deceive the young master of the Tang clan, he wouldn’t have enough lives for that.
After thinking for a bit, Tang Luo consoled, “Don’t be scared. There are trades that require skill and there are some that don’t…”
“If I say you can do it, you can do it. Even if you can’t, you can still do it. If I say you can’t, you cannot do it even if you can. Do you understand?”
Aji was both excited and confused, but it still seemed off to him. He stared blankly at Tang Luo.
Where did the cleverness from the storytelling go? Tang Luo was speechless. freewebno vel.com
“What I mean is, just do what you are told and don’t worry about the rest, got it?”
“I understand, I understand.” Aji hastily replied.
If he couldn’t understand that the young master was trying to support him, he might as well jump off the building. He immediately declared, “I will do my best in my duties, and I won’t let down the young master’s kindness.”
This phrase, why does it sound so familiar? Tang Luo was a bit dumbfounded..
