Chapter 118.1

Outside the Heavenly Wolf Sect—under a big tree.

Wang Ke and Zhang Zhengdao looked up to the sky before finding cover under the big tree.

“Damn it. Zhang Li’er and Zhang Shenxu must be nuts! They sent out lots of cranes to search for us!” Wang Ke said angrily.

A dozen cranes were patrolling the skies, looking for something.

“I got the news that Zhang Li’er is hunting you down! It’s the end for you, Wang Ke. And even now, you still dare to come out? You’re toast if Zhang Li’er catches you!” Zhang Zhengdao gloated.

“Ptooey. Mo Sanshan and Murong Luguang will certainly scheme against me anyway! At least they won’t find us if we leave the sect. Who knows what traps we can fall into if we stay!” Wang Ke said.

“What’s with this ‘we’? It’s you they’re looking for! This has nothing to do with me!” Zhang Zhengdao immediately drew a clear boundary with Wang Ke.

“Who said so? When you were still the general manager, I asked you whether you gave her his salary when she left.” Wang Ke asked.

“Uhh, is this something I’m responsible for?” Zhang Zhengdao was a little shocked to hear this.

“Debts must be paid. It’s the salary of a cultivator, how dare you keep the money to yourself! Are you even human? She will surely flay you if she finds you!” Wang Ke rebutted with a stare.

“This has nothing to do with me! She didn’t want it!” Zhang Zhengdao explained himself anxiously.

“We can be at peace then; they are coming after us anyway!” Wang Ke tried comforting his friend.

“Bullsh*t,” Zhang Zhengdao rebutted, “You initially asked me to stay in the tower. Why did you suddenly change your mind and ask me to leave with you? You want me to divert them while you run away?”

“Aiya? How dare you talk back! I’m the God Wang Company’s boss and you’re just a staff member. Your job is to protect your boss! Have you forgotten the terms and conditions? The boss’ safety is the highest priority. Haven’t you read it? Who else would lead you to more riches if something were to happen to me?” Wang Ke chided him with a stare.

“I… You…!” Zhang Zhengdao raged but was lost for words.

I have never seen someone this shameless before. Damn it. You dragged me out to be your scapegoat, yet you make it sound so justified! You think being a boss is such a big deal? I can just quit the job anytime I want.

Wang Ke continued with a soft approach, “Okay, enough about the cranes. They are but mere beasts; they can’t identify us! We should be safe enough! Besides, there isn’t much to do in the tower at the moment; you would only be wasting time there. Why not take this time to recharge and upgrade your knowledge so you can do a better job as general manager in the future!”

“Upgrade my knowledge? Of what?”

“Money-making knowledge, of course! Come, let me show you how to make a killing! Also, you should learn how to develop the insurance business!” Wang Ke explained.

“Insurance? Aren’t we selling that already? I know all about it!” Zhang Zhengdao said in disdain.

“You know nothing! We only sold a few insurance plans during the product launch! Can you do it again?” Wang Ke asked.

“I can’t!” Zhang Zhengdao answered doubtfully.

Again? They’re not fools.

“That’s what I’m talking about; you’ve only learned the basics. Come, let me teach you something more practical! I will show you how to sell insurance plans!” Wang Ke said.

Zhang Zhengdao was still feeling doubtful though. “I keep feeling that you’re just bringing me along to be your scapegoat!”

“Come on, we are such good friends! Let’s not talk about taking blame for anyone! All right, the cranes left. On with our journey!” Wang Ke said.

“Where are we heading?” Zhang Zhengdao asked.

Wang Ke looked afar and replied, “Zhu Cultivation Town!”

“Zhu Cultivation Town?” Zhang Zhengdao cried out in shock, “You are going there again? You’ve already sheared them twice! And you want to do it again? Are you still human?”

“I lived with those townsmen for a decade; I have feelings for them already. That’s why I’m returning to the Zhu Cultivation Town!” Wang Ke replied with a stare.

“Living in the same town with you really brings eight lives of bad luck!” Zhang Zhengdao commented doubtfully.

“Bullsh*t. I’m going there to give them warmth, happiness, and a future! I’m taking care of my townsmen! This is called decentralizing insurance! Slander me one more time, and I won’t bring you along to earn money! Go back!” Wang Ke said angrily.

“Eh, don’t, don’t! I wasn’t being serious, hahaha. Let’s go and give them warmth, happiness, and a future! Let’s work on that insurance decentralizing in towns together!” Zhang Zhengdao said immediately with an apologetic smile.

Ten-thousand Great Mountains—inside a mysterious cave.

Tong An’an and his ten bald followers got out of the cave and looked afar.

“Chapter Lord, are we still going to keep our eyes on Wang Ke? We were fortunate to escape safely from the Heavenly Wolf Sect. Let’s go home, shall we?” o of the bald subordinates tried to persuade.

“Bullsh*t. Wanna go back to your mum’s home? Do you think we can still go back as things stand?” Tong An’an reprimanded that subordinate angrily.

“We… !”

“What about you? Wang Ke’s assassination ended up in failure; we were even caught! We were forced to expose all the undercover people the Parlor Lord had set in the Heavenly Wolf Sect. All those agents died because of us; we will be punished if we go back!” Tong An’an said.

“But we had no other choice. Didn’t you say that the Third Parlor Lord was also there? Why didn’t he help us! He is responsible too!” that bald man said.

“Can you please stop mentioning the Third Parlor Lord? Can you, please? I shiver every time I hear his name, can’t you tell?” Tong An’an raged.

“What’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong?” Tong An’an said in despair, “The Third Parlor Lord entrusted us with his enchanted artifacts. The Lightning Whips! He is especially proud of them! But we lost them! Damn. Once there was a demonic disciple who dirtied a Lightning Whip… Do you even know what happened to him in the end? We lost them all! It’s going to cost us our lives!”

The ten bald men fell into silence.

“Wang Ke has the whips! We can recover them if we capture him. We can only wash off our failures by killing Wang Ke! What do you think? Do you still want to go back home? Go home to plow the land? Ah? You bunch of idiots! We must kill Wang Ke, understand?” Tong An’an shouted at them with reddened eyes.

“Understood! We must kill Wang Ke!” the ten baldies replied.

“But, Wang Ke is a coward; he hid for almost a year inside the Heavenly Wolf Sect. How do we kill him?” a bald man asked, feeling worried.

“Aren’t we guarding this place? Besides, didn’t one of our agents give us the ‘Dog Nose’ before we made it out?” Tong An’an said.

“The Dog Nose?” one of the baldies took out a black artifact.

“That agent helped us steal this ‘Dog Nose,’ but because of that he… Sigh! Let’s not talk about him anymore. Let’s talk about happier things!” Tong An’an shook his head.

“Chapter Lord, does the Dog Nose really work?” one of the men asked.
