The day after, morning timeâ
God Wang Tower was already buzzing with people.
Tong Anâan was greatly frustrated after seeing how his men disguised themselves. Their getup was simple; they took off their black robes, revealing their muscular arms and bald heads.
Tong Anâan glared at them and said, âThis is your disguise? Were you guys playing Mahjong last night again?â
âUhh, we only played a few rounds!â mumbled one of the men.
âHow dare you lie to me? I heard the Mahjong racket all night, yet you tell me you only played a few rounds? Havenât I told you already? Mahjong is what Wang Ke used to corrupt our demonic sect, yet you are still playing!â Tong Anâan stared at them furiously.
Tong Anâan kept on grilling them with questions. âI asked you guys to disguise yourselves, and all you did was shave yourselves bald? And dress like coolies?â
âOur faces are usually covered with the iniquity black Qi weâve accumulated from consuming humans. Few know our faces; no one would recognize us even if we show our faces. Besides, we really havenât disguised ourselves before! We thought long and hard before the idea of shaving bald popped up!â one of them replied.
Still, Tong Anâan rebuked him, âBut the thing is, you have no abstinence scars on your foreheads! No one will see you as monks. Ten baldies are more conspicuous than people dressed in black! What the hell are you guys thinking?â
The ten looked at each other in dismay. Indeed, everyone in the crowd had black hair; they were the only bald ones. They would stand out like needles poking everyoneâs eyes.
âAlso, didnât I order you guys to buy me a black coat? What is this you bought? Pink? Why! What went through your heads? Me? Wearing pink?â Tong Anâan stared at one of his subordinates dead in the eye.
âIt was too late last night, and the lightning wasnât good. The tailor only had this coat ready when I went to see him! It was actually ordered by a Heavenly Wolf Sect disciple; I had to pay at a premium so I could get it!â That demon answered.
âCouldnât you check out more shops?â Tong Anâan asked.
âI did! But I didnât find anything else!â His subordinate replied.
Tong Anâan: ââŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ!â
Bullsh*t. Iâm sure you just half-a**ed the task so you could rush back to play Mahjong!
âChapter Lord, thereâs a ruckus coming from the God Wang Company; I think theyâre about to start! Itâs too late to buy a different coat!â said another subordinate.
Tong Anâan: ââŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ!â
While looking at his ten followers, Tong Anâan tried his best to suppress his surging blood pressure.
âFine! You, bunch of baldies! Make sure you split up and infiltrate the ceremony. Donât walk in together! Weâre already eye-catching as it is! Split up. You mustnât be seen together unless I say so!â Tong Anâan ordered.
âUnderstood!â the ten bald heads replied.
The leaderâs face twitched unstoppably for quite a while as he looked at the sexy lady robe in his hand; he finally swallowed his rage and wore the thing.
Tong Anâan was a portly fellow. His fleshy figure was clearly outlined after putting on the petite robe, making him look rather strange. Fortunately, the robe had a big hood, so he used it to keep his face hidden.
The group of eleven dispersed and headed toward God Wang Towerâs square.
The place was just outside the tower, where people continued to gather. Disciples of dozens of immortal sects from all across the Ten-thousand Great Mountains made an appearance; each sect had sent dozens of representatives. Close to three thousand people had already gathered for the event.
Tong Anâan and ten bald men entered the square and sneaked into the crowd.
They encountered some Heavenly Wolf Sect disciples along the way, who shuddered and turned away at the sight of Tong Anâanâs extravagant robe and plump figure.
âEldest apprentice-brother, we didnât notice anyone with Tong Anâanâs description!â a junior disciple reported to Murong Luguang.
âSearch! Continue searching! Even if he disguised himself, his body remains the same! How many fat people can there be? Search all of them! You must walk up close to each fat man you see and check them!â Murong Luguang ordered.
All the fat men attending immediately received attention from Murong Luguangâs subordinates; all except Tong Anâan, who was dressed as a âpink lady.â
Meanwhile, inside one of God Wang Towerâs guest roomsâ
Zhang Liâer held onto a blueprint of God Wang Tower.
âAnd youâve explored each place?â she asked in a deep voice.
âSis, rest assured. Weâve explored every corner of this construction, except for the top floor. Wang Keâs office must be there; weâve checked all other places!â Zhang Shenxu patted his chest and assured his sister.
âWang Keâs office?â Zhang Liâer muttered with a frown.
âThatâs right. Thatâs Wang Keâs study room; I really donât understand why they called it âofficeâ; itâs such a weird name! âNo entry!â Also, there were enchanted artifacts installed to conceal auras and sound from the inside. Curtains were drawn to block off all the light! Thatâs the only place we didnât go to. Wang Ke enters his office every time he comes here! Thatâs the most mysterious place of all!â Zhang Shenxu explained.
âOh?â Zhang Liâer narrowed her eyes.
The top floor? Wang Keâs office? With spell arrays to insulate sound and light? Thatâs a good place! Itâs my dream location to take his money!
âHahaha, well done! Play along when the time comes!â Zhang Liâer said.
âSis, rest assured; we will listen to you!â Zhang Shenxu patted his chest.
âHmm, itâs about time. Letâs go! We shall cut ribbons for Wang Ke first, and then he will help me become rich. Hahaha!â Zhang Liâer laughed heartily.
Heavenly Wolf Sect. Sword-study Peak!
âWang Ke, almost all the guests are here. Why are you still taking your sweet time!â Zhang Zhengdao urged as he walked toward the man of the hour.
âWhatâs the hurry? Iâve already ordered my men to set up a buffet meal outside the tower. The time is not yet ripe,â said Wang Ke as he sprayed styling lotion on his hair while standing in front of a mirror.
âYou donât feel rushed, thatâs all right. The thing is, how will you wrap up the event? Today is your companyâs inauguration, but your store is empty! Thereâs nothing to sell!â Zhang Zhengdao asked in frustration.
Zhang Zhengdao had yet to learn about the âproductâ that Wang Ke was talking about. Are you going to sell farts in your shop? Did you make it so grand just to invite disciples from all over just for a meal, play, and make merry?
âThe product has already been designed! Donât worry; weâll surely strike it rich today! You actually managed to get lots of people; your commission will be hefty, beyond your expectations!â Wang Ke said confidently.
âProduct? Whereâs the product? Where? Am I blind or what? Why donât I see anything?â Zhang Zhengdao was confused.
âYou will know in a bit. Okay, time to go!â said Wang Ke as he combed his hair.
