Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang had tricked the lady by enticing her emotions and nerves. Humans were simply too easy to give in to their emotions. Shi Lang knew this but he also knew that humans can simply go berserk if they are pushed into a corner.

He said, 'You misunderstand the intention behind my words. What I mean to say is that the cause of the deaths around you is your condition.'

Red Widow was shocked, she could not comprehend what he wanted to say when Shi Lang spoke again, 'Your physique feels unbearably cold during full moon nights. The chill emerges from the depth of your bones.'

These words shocked Red Widow, she could not help but utter, "How do you know this?"

Her face was contrastingly different from what it was a moment ago. She was shocked to the core. Shi Lang replied, "Not only this, but I also know that you keep yourself warm with the help of many means."

Red Widow changed her perception, she took a few seconds to calm herself down and asked, "What do you need from me, Sir."

She was a person who knew how to bend and stretch when the need arouse. Shi Lang replied, "Information."

His term was enough to tell and state his purpose and identity. Red Widow was shocked to see that the Federal Government sent such an expert to deal with them. As she was mulling over the options she had, Shi Lang said, 'You can go and tell your leader that I am here to hunt him down and that I will find him at any cost. When I do, I will have his guts spilled on the ground in the main square. However, before that, I will take everything from him. Everything that he built on the blood and sweat of the people of Elton City.'

Red Widow raised her head and said, "What do you know about the leader to even accuse him like that? Some data that was fed to you by the government?"

Shi Lang chuckled in her mind and replied, 'You think I do not know that the guards and the entire staff of the syndicate are based on people with forced cultivation? Do you think it is easy to hide the sequelae left deep within their bodies? The government does not know this but I do. The next target of my investigation will be the source of gene enhancement serums you guys have. I will locate the source and destroy your supplies, and I will not let a single person involved walk away alive.'

Red Widow could sense a chill that was far stronger than what she felt from her body. She was flustered but she did not wish to give in so quickly. She said, "You can do what you want if you are so powerful. What do you need the information for?"

Shi Lang smiled as he collected his packaged food and said to Red Widow, 'You will know what I can do and cannot in the next few days. The only reason I wanted the information was to prevent bloodshed. Well, you can come to Elton Square after the big event, if you seek a solution to your problems, the physique problem, and the death toll of your syndicate employees.'

That said, he walked out of the restaurant with his food parcel. Then he asked for a dessert to be packed as well. However, he did not talk to the lady. Shi Lang waited for a few minutes before he left. This was done simply

...

After Shi Lang left, the lady tried to speak to him for a few minutes but after she received no reply, she left with many insecurities in her heart. She did not tell anyone about what happened, because she did not believe that Shi Lang would be so strong or capable.

...

Shi Lang reached back to the hotel and found four more people inside. Darcx introduced them as the team members he enlisted for the operation. They were all freshers and had yet to go on a single task, but they had scored the highest in their training sessions. The candidates were two females and two males.

They all had distinct looks, but they had one similarity. Their eyes were sparkling when they looked at Shi Lang. The young general nodded to them and said, "Well, you guys will have to deal with the congested space in the room as I do not wish to be located by the syndicate this early. Also, I will be giving you some tasks, one is to locate the influential members of the Arena located under the club, Arabian Nights. Clear?"

The four people immediately reacted, "Yes, Sir."

Shi Lang sighed and said, "Take it easy on the response, we are under cover, where discipline is needed only to get through the tasks and not for showcasing."

The four people nodded and Darcx asked, "Boss, why do you intend to target this Arena?"

Shi Lang gazed at him coldly and said, "You idiot, do you not understand the essence of secret divisions even after such a long time? Which fools tried to out-list the suspects from the previous investigation? I want all that data in front of me by the evening, also, locate a gene serum company that has been rather low-profile lately. I do not want the standard protocols for investigation, in this case, understood?"

His aura was strict and left no room for the people to maneuver and nodded. Then Shi Lang left the room with the food parcel in his hands. The four people got to work, with Darcx quickly as the latter said, "Boss sure is the old slave driver." 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

...

Shi Lang came to wait at the gates of the Elton military academy. He did not enter the premises but stood outside. He had contacted Theseus, who told him that they will be coming out in a few minutes.

After a few minutes, Theseus and the rest walked out, and they all were looking confused a bit. Shi Lang asked, "What happened?"

Theseus replied, "We got the last batch."

Shi Lang asked, "What is so weird about it?"

Quo Lina said, "Teacher, the Federal Star Academy has been placed in the last group for the past ten years. Is this not too much of a coincidence?"

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Good observation, and that is your first lesson in this tournament. Things are not completely fair. Also, regardless of what little tricks they have or not, you guys are strong enough. As important as it is to not look down on your opponent, it is of equal importance to know your own strength."

Quo Lina nodded and said, "That is true, if we all act together we will be able to get to the top."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Yes, also, take this. My treat."

He handed them the food parcel, the students were surprised but they accepted the parcels with big smiles. Shi Lang said, "Share it with each other, I will get you guys some sweets later."

The students thanked him and they all followed him back to the hotel while discussing issues they had in their cultivation. Shi Lang was someone they all idolized, and until he was in his uniform, he would act like a guy next door, especially with children who were going to be the pillars of the future.

Shi Lang asked, "When are you all playing?"

Chou said, "Three days, teacher."

Shi Lang nodded and then they reached the hotel. The young general contacted his wife and then told her about the arrangement and gave her a brief intro to the mission. Shi Tao complained to him about how he did not come to see her, but then he coaxed her with an excuse that things were dangerous and it will be harmful.

Shi Tao had caught up to the basic knowledge points and understood that the job her father was not a walk in the park so she calmed down.

...

An entire day passed in a blink and Shi Lang received information from Darcx. The Gene serum manufacturer's detail. Darcx had conducted the tests and this small-scale company was found guilty. They had enough evidence trails as well, such as the missing production samples and testimonies of the employees interrogated by Darcx.

Shi Lang communicated with the general council and said only one sentence when the people were wary of his proposal, "We need to make a statement that such fradulency will not be tolerated. If they have any troubles, then they can come forward and the government will deal with it, but such acts of anarchy by endangering their own futures will not be tolerated."

The people agreed to his suggestion of making a statement. Shi Lang geared up and Darcx volunteered to be his support. The two people dressed in their black attire, and Shi Lang put on his old mask with a sword tied to his back. They left the place under the cover of darkness, heading to their location at a speed faster then lev vehicles. Shi Lang had this situation in the palm of his hand.
