Chapter 259 (1/2)

Location: The Castle of Raging Fire.

Inside a well-built and s.p.a.cious room, a cloud of cigarette smoke swirled. Three men with gloomy faces were sitting silently on a luxury sofa. Next to them was a tea table, and there was a pack of cigarettes on top of it. The package of the cigarette was crumpled, and there were only a few cigarettes left inside.

“Big brother. Is it possible that the fire messenger is…?” A fat man who weighed at least 200 kg broke the silent. He seemed to be very worried.

“No!” The castellan of the castle of Raging Fire Lei Ming suddenly clenched his fists and stopped the fat man. The cigarette that was in between his fingers was instantly snapped into half, and his eyes glinted with anger. His left hand was injured by the ice race’s flying machine during the escape. If he had not dodged in time, he would have lost his entire arm.

“But big brother, Third Brother’s worry is reasonable. In this kind of situation, no matter what happened, the fire messenger should have been back by now. What if the castle of Snowstorm attacked us, we won’t be able to defeat them, after all, this place is the foundation of its force,” said a skinny man who was sitting next to Lei Ming. He was wearing a pair of gla.s.ses and a clean suit, in this chaotic world, it was very strange to see someone dressed like this. He adjusted his gla.s.ses and carried on, “something must have happened!”

Lei Ming didn’t respond to him immediately, he was using his fingers to tap the tea table for a while then said, “no matter what happened to it, we can’t panic!”

Second Brother and Third Brother looked at each other for a second then looked at Lei Ming and nodded their heads.

“It isn’t easy for us to get to this far. Surviving is already difficult enough in this dark world, having a place to stay is even harder, everyone is extremely careful with every step forward, because no one knows what’s in front of them.

Think about how we got to this place. Without the fire messenger, those who are enslaved by us will definitely seize the opportunity to rebel. We have offended too many people. We don’t have any chance to surrender ourselves. If that really happens, death is what’s waiting for us…” Lei Ming said sternly to the only two people who he could trust. He seemed to be unusually calm at the moment.

The fat man Third Brother was still shocked, but Second Brother who was wearing the gla.s.ses already realised what his Big Brother was trying to say, he had already broken out into a cold sweat, “big brother, you want to impersonate…”

Lei Ming nodded his head and stopped Second Brother, “yes, the castle needs the fire messenger, no one has seen the face of the fire messenger, and no one dares to question it. So we are safe at the moment.”

“Who?” Third Brother simply asked.

Lei Ming looked at him and said, “we haven’t reached that point yet, the fire messenger will probably come back soon, I am just giving you two a heads up, so you two are prepared.”

Then he said to the skinny man, “Second Brother, you are the most meticulous amongst us three. You personally pick some reliable people and find us a secret place, we need to start transferring the food. We need to plan for the worst, the impersonation won’t be able to last long.”

“Okay big brother, it’s our livelihood, I’ll make sure that nothing unexpected happens!” Second Brother said sternly.

“I trust you,” Lei Ming patted his shoulder and said. Then he turned to the fat man and rebuked him, “Third Brother, only we know that you are the strongest amongst us. With this kind of thing happening, everyone will only know about me, so restrain yourself! Don’t tell anyone about your ability, including those women who you are sleeping with! We are relying on you to deal with the women from the castle of Snowstorm!”

“Big Brother, don’t worry, I might be reckless, but I won’t treat this one lightly, I won’t cause any trouble to you,” The fat man said sternly.

“It’s not that I like to criticize you, but you really should spend less time on playing those women. Look what you did this time, we had asked you to protect our castle, but when we escaped from the castle of Snowstorm, you were still in bed with those women?! Do you know that we almost died, and if the castle of Snowstorm counterattacked us right after we retreated, we would be all dead!” Lei Ming was glaring at the fat man and said angrily.

“Sorry brothers, I know this thing is bad, but I only have this hobby, besides, the world has already become like this, apart from doing that thing, what else can we do?” Although they said that Third Brother was the strongest, it seemed like he was still scared of Lei Ming.

“As long as we have food, we will not be sort of women, do you still not understand this!? And there is one thing I have to tell you. Do not even think about touching the Korean that Old w.a.n.g brought back, Old w.a.n.g said that the fire messenger also said she is pretty. We all don’t know what that means, but don’t try to do something stupid! Do you understand!” Second Brother was very worried that one day this brother would cause huge trouble for them.

“Second Brother, you have told me hundreds of times already, I know that I’m l.u.s.tful, but I am not stupid. I know what to do!” Third Brother argued.

“You call that l.u.s.tful? You are indulging…” Second Brother wanted to carry on saying something, but he was interrupted by Lei Ming.

“Enough Second Brother, I think he still knows what’s important, and what’s not. You can carry on arranging your doc.u.ments and Third Brother, you need to spend more time studying the cultivation method that the fire messenger taught you, otherwise if the fire messenger comes back and finds out that you have no improvement, we will become useless to it.”

…

A few hours after the retreat, the castle of Raging Fire was still as quiet as usual. However, the tension in the entire castle was increasing every second as time pa.s.sed by. The news about the failure of the attack was spread like wildfire, many people that were not happy with the slavery practice were secretly preparing to rebel in the dark…

The sky was still very dark as if all the stars were dead. The castle of Raging Fire had temporarily prohibited people to walk outside of their houses.

However, on a quiet and empty street of the castle of Raging Fire, there were some clear and quick-paced footsteps.

From the direction the footsteps disappeared, it seemed like someone was running towards the mansion at the end of the street.
