Chapter 586: Do It Thoroughly

Translator: CynthiaEditor: X, TYZ

”Is this the Pagoda Cannon Alliance? Is Ai Hui here?”

A chilly voice woke Ke Ning up. Drowsy and sleepy, he looked up to see a tall and strong figure in front of him. Standing beside this figure was a tall and thin lady whose eyes also seemed cold. She wore her hair in a high bun with throwing knives inserted into it.

Feeling the pressure from the two people in front of him, Ke Ning swallowed nervously and stood up, ”I’m Ke Ning, the manager of the Pagoda Cannon Alliance. May I know who you are?”

He actually felt uncomfortable, as he always associated the word ”manager” with something bad.

But what could he do?

When Ai Hui suddenly left everything related to the Pagoda Cannon Alliance to him with an appreciative look, but without any explanation, Ke Ning was dumbfounded and couldn’t believe his ears. When he came to his senses, Ai Hui had already disappeared.

Who was the one who had promised righteously to found the Pagoda Cannon Alliance?

Ke Ning felt a bit regretful. He had not expected for Ai Hui to be so irresponsible. It was ironic that he had had some illusions toward the Pagoda Cannon Alliance.

The idea of leaving had occurred to him more than once, but he couldn’t speak it out when facing the hundreds of people who followed him.

Having struggled for two days, he made up his mind. The worst result was death anyway, which was no different from his choice at the very beginning. After he figured this out, he felt like a totally different man who was full of vigor. More surprisingly, although Ai Hui didn’t show up, the spectacular Fish Bone was absolutely convincing.

The elementalists, who had been hesitating and struggling, now flocked to join them.

The Pagoda Cannon Alliance was expanding rapidly, making Ke Ning terribly busy. It was not easy for him to find some time to take a nap.

”Tong Gui.”

”Yu Jin.”

The man and the lady answered coldly.

Ke Ning was shocked and totally sobered up. The names of the two reputable division leaders from Newlight City struck his ears like a clap of thunder. Although he knew that Newlight City had expressed its full support for the Pagoda Cannon Alliance, it was beyond his expectation that they sent two of their strongest combat divisions here.

In terms of status and position, Ke Ning was far inferior to them. This made him nervous, but excited at the same time.

As long as Sir Tong Gui and Lady Yu Jin were here, the strength of the Pagoda Cannon Alliance would be far greater than other ordinary combat divisions.

He replied at once, ”Please have a seat. Are you looking for Sir Ai Hui? He is surveying the terrain at the moment. I’ll call him back now.”

Tong Gui said in a rough voice, ”We should pay him a visit. Manager Ke, would you please lead the way?”

”Manager Ke” sounded harsh, but Ke Ning was also surprised by the respect the division leaders showed toward Ai Hui. After all, in Ke Ning’s mind, Ai Hui was already regarded as unreliable.

He immediately said, ”No problem. This way please.”

…..

Ai Hui stood at the side of the Great Rift and watched the howling metal wind. It was like a transparent wind wall with a metallic luster, obscuring the scene on the other side.

This reminded Ai Hui of the Suspending Golden Pagoda outside of Central Pine City.

He was lost in thought.

Everyone was busy preparing for the big battle ahead.

Ai Hui was the only one who looked unoccupied. Having thrown all duties related to the Pagoda Cannon Alliance to Ke Ning, all he did everyday was idly top and go along one side of the canyon, as if enjoying the scenery.

No one knew what he was thinking.

Surveying the terrain was only an excuse Ke Ning found for Ai Hui. Assessing the terrain was completely unnecessary. The metal wind had isolated the two sides, and the other Windy Pearl Bridges had all been destroyed.

Ke Ning led Tong Gui and Yu Jin to Ai Hui.

Tong Gui saluted and said, ”Long time no see, Sir Ai Hui.”

Yu Jin saluted too, but didn’t say anything.

Their feelings were complicated. Years ago, they looked at Ai Hui like their junior, but now they needed to address him respectfully as a Sir. On the other hand, however complicated they felt, they were not envious or unconvinced. It was a common rule that strength was the most important. The achievements Ai Hui had accomplished over the years were enough to win their respect.

As for Ai Hui, some appreciated him, some criticized him, but no one would ignore him.

Ai Hui nodded, ”It must have been a tough journey. Is Mayor An all right?”

Tong Gui replied reverently, ”Yes, everything is fine with the Mayor. He misses you very much, my Sir. Before we left, he asked us to obey your commands. No matter what the task is, and whether it is dangerous or not, Tong Gui and Yu Jin will do the best and never flinch.”

Ai Hui smiled. ”Thank you for your support.”

Tong Gui said, ”You are welcome. This is what we should do.”

Ai Hui nodded. ”I happen to have a task that may require your help.”

Tong Gui said, ”At your request.”

Ai Hui said, ”I want to establish the Pagoda Cannon Alliance, which will be our next goal. Currently, I’m fully occupied, so everything is being done by Manager Ke. I now want to ask a favor from you guys to help him build up the framework of the alliance.”

Tong Gui and Yu Jin looked at each other in surprise.

Before they arrived, they both thought that Ai Hui would keep a vigilant watch over them and even marginalize them. They never expected that Ai Hui would entrust them with such an important task at the very beginning.

It was natural that they had these doubts in mind since they had interacted with Ai Hui years ago and were fully aware of his cunning.

Ai Hui could see their doubts, but he simply ignored this and asked, ”Any problems?”
