Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1415 - 1400: Masters Gather
"Son, life seems pretty good recently, huh!!"
On the other end of the phone, Song Ergou said with a mischievous grin. ππ«πππ¨ππ―ππ πππ.ππΌπ
"Well, Dad, how do you know?" Song Yun asked.
"Youβre my son; what donβt I know about you? Tomorrow is the day of Danfu Universityβs centennial celebration, and Professor Tao is expected to announce his research results next year. Your mom and I figured tonight might not be peaceful over there at Danfu University."
"Oh?"
Song Yun said with a hint of doubt, "How exactly wonβt it be peaceful?"
"Itβs said that tonight Professor Tao will be preparing the materials in his lab for tomorrowβs demonstration. Itβs his last operation before announcing his research results. By tomorrow, Professor Tao will be known to the world. So, donβt you think tonight is a great opportunity? For instance, if you want to steal Professor Taoβs materials, or simply kidnap Professor Tao himself!"
Song Ergou said.
"Oh! I got it!"
Song Yun nodded and said, "So in short, Dad, you want to rope me into doing the grunt work again, right?"
"Haha, itβs only natural for a son to help his old man, donβt you think? Working for me now could be like working for yourself in the future. No matter how you do it, you wonβt lose out, will you?" Song Ergou said.
"So what should I do tonight?" Song Yun asked.
"Go and protect Professor Tao. As for the materials, take them if you can; if not, donβt let anyone else get them. You understand what I mean?" Song Ergou asked.
"Understood!"
Song Yun said, "In simple terms, get it if you can; if not, and you canβt protect it, then destroy it."
"Smart, as expected from my son, my own flesh and blood, hahaha!"
Song Ergou laughed proudly.
"Indeed, Dad, your knack for getting people to work for you is about as impressive as mine is for getting others to work for me." Song Yun sighed and said.
"Ahaha, well, son, Iβll leave tonightβs matter to you. Call me if thereβs good news, and be careful. The information I gave you isnβt too confidential; I expect many people will be there tonight because itβs a rare opportunity. How to achieve the most with the least effort is something youβll have to figure out yourself!"
Song Ergou said.
"Got it, Dad."
After hanging up, Song Yun glanced at the already risen moon outside the window and casually grabbed a nearby piece of clothing to put on.
"Where are you going?" Xiao Hui, who was playing DOTA, asked.
"Going for a heist!"
Song Yun smiled and walked out of the dormitory.
Not long after leaving, Song Yun called Ye Yinyin first.
"Will you be with Professor Tao tonight?"
Without wasting words, Song Yun asked directly.
"I will."
Ye Yinyin replied calmly.
"Are you prepared for what might happen tonight?"
Song Yun asked.
"Yes!"
Ye Yinyin continued to answer calmly.
"Then weβre on the same side..." Song Yun said, "Iβll be there shortly.
"Okay."
Song Yun wasnβt upset that Ye Yinyin only spoke three words to him. According to his fatherβs words, people interested in Professor Taoβs research or Professor Tao himself would show up tonight, and it appeared that Shi Changxin from the Shi Family, ranking twenty-first on the War God List, would also be there. While Song Yun was also in the top thirty or maybe slightly lower on the list, he felt it might not be enough.
So pairing up with Ye Yinyin gave Song Yun a bit more confidence. Although Ye Yinyinβs strength and speed werenβt as good as Song Yunβs, her skills were exceptional. Even Song Yun sometimes felt a flutter of fear facing Ye Yinyin, not knowing if a single touch from her would cause injury.
Ancient Martial Arts are extremely mysterious.
Song Yun jogged to the Chemistry Lab Building.
It was already past eight in the evening.
Only one room in the Chemistry Lab Building had its lights on.
Song Yun, familiar with the place, went up the stairs and disappeared into the corridor.
And shortly after that.
Two figures appeared downstairs.
One exuded a strange aura, while the other had a righteous appearance.
These two were Ghost King and Master Lang.
The two exchanged a look and said, "Looks like itβs on the fifth floor!"
"Thatβs the only place with the lights on," Master Lang chuckled and said, "You canβt exactly do experiments with the lights off, can you?"
"Thatβs right. How should we fight it out later?" Ghost King asked.
"Itβs simple, go up and grab the materials; if anyone gets in the way, kill them. If anyone tries to harm Professor Tao, kill them too!"
Master Lang shrugged and said.
"Seems our old foe Song Yun is attending school here. Wonder if heβll show up tonight!"
Ghost King said.
"If he comes, thatβd be great; itβs been a while since Iβve seen any bloodshed. At least weβd see some tonight," Master Lang smiled and said.
"Nowadays, heβs in the top twenty or thirty on the War God List. Can you still take him down?" Ghost King asked,
"Not sure, but heβs our enemy!" Master Lang said.
"True!"
Ghost King nodded, stepping onto the stairs in front of him.
And at this moment.
In the dark night sky.
Swoosh.
Two shadows sliced through the night sky, rapidly flying towards the rooftop of the Chemistry Lab Building.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two soft thuds.
Two figures appeared on the rooftop.
The two were completely wrapped in black cloth, and behind them was a small glider.
It seemed they had come from above.
"Senior Brother Saka, according to the intel, Professor Tao should be in the fifth-floor lab!"
One of them whispered.
"Goro, once weβre down there, first find the materials. If you canβt find them, make sure to take Professor Tao away!" Sakata Gintoki said seriously.
"Got it!"
Mao Li Xiaowu nodded.
The two removed their gear, and then Sakata Gintoki picked up a more than meter-long curved blade from the ground.
The swordβs sheath was a bizarre crimson color.
Normally, a sword sheath is rarely red, let alone crimson.
In Japan, thereβs a famous sword with a crimson sheath, called Muramasa, known in Japan as the Demon Sword.
Sakata Gintoki, holding the sword, charged toward the rooftop exit, with Mao Li Xiaowu following closely behind.
