57 Chapter 56. (2/2)

”What do you want boss?”

”Give these two a good hug for me.”

When they heard my words it looks like they were also pretty irritated having waited three hours for this moron. They sported devious smiles as the slowly closed the distance.

”Wait! We can talk about this. Boss, it was a joke! Just a joke! Please shit brothers stay way!”

”What are you talking about, you are also one of our good brothers. How can we not share the love with one of our good brothers?”

”No it's fine, really! Here boss! The clothes, take them.”

He finally tossed the bag of clothes over to me and looked at me with pleading eyes like a little puppy.

He was so pitiful that I decided to forgive him. With boundless warmth in my eyes I shook my head left and right with a slight sigh like he couldn't be blamed for his little prank and told him my words of pardon, ”boys get him.”

I bet you believed me, right?

It was three hours, okay? Three damn hours! For three hours I had to smell like shit! You think a simple ”here's the clothes” is going to quell my anger?!

Do you know what it feels like for ants to walk past you and stop for a moment and smell under their arms wondering what that strange smell is? They would then realize it wasn't them and look around to see us, the three shitketeers in all our brown glory.

They would then grab people off from the side of the road to whisper back and forth and point their fingers towards us. When have I ever suffered such injustice before? This is complete nonsense!

I wanted to cry but no tears would come out. All I could hear was the pleading cries coming from that moronic, now stained brown peacock, and the ugly woman grabbing onto his arm.

Forgetting about them I was elated to finally be able to properly dress myself and get out of the disgusting clothing with brown stains all over it.

When I opened up the bag I found there were four sets of clothing all the same. Did he also buy one for the missing Kuro Dong? Well, whatever, it looks like that now brown clothed moron will be needing it soon anyways.

He bought four black suits with white dress shirts and black ties. They looked very formal and professional. I ducked into an alley way and stripped my clothing and wore the black dress pants and white collared long sleeve shirt. I fastened the black tie around my neck and wore the black overcoat.

I noticed there were some black shades as well, so I put them on as well. I felt slightly refreshed after changing into this attire and felt like a whole new person.

When I came out of the alleyway and saw the three smelly individuals I pointed towards the alleyway and motioned for them to get changed. The ugly woman looked to have long ago fled in fear of the smelly duos wretched hands.

When they finished changing and we stood facing each other, I had to admit we looked pretty cool.

It was at this moment someone called out to us.

”Hey you! I swear I've seen you before.”

”Ah! Aren't you that guy I saw escaping from the cops? You're that dude who pulled off all those fancy moves against the cops, right? Were you shooting in an action scene in a movie? That was really incredible! I've never seen anything as amazing as that, ever!”

”Movie?”

I was confused by the unfamiliar term the young man with a weird hat in front of me mentioned.

”Oh, it really wasn't for a movie?”

”I knew it! There's no way any director could be better than me when it comes to action scenes! So does that mean you're a free agent?”

Free agent? What's that?

”From you lack of response I'll take that as a yes.”

Aren't you a bit presumptuous to think that?

”Since you're not answering I must be right. Buddy, you're exactly what I've been looking for! The main star in my action movie had a horrible accident in one of our stunts. From seeing the stunts you pulled off earlier I can say with certainty you can definitely be a star. Would you be interested in auditioning to become the main actor in the movie I'm directing?”

”No.”

”What? Why not? You're not going to say your taken now, right?”

”I don't have the time to play around. I'm busy.”

”Such a shame, we were even preparing to act out our prison break scene tomorrow. It is going to be our most action packed scene in the entire movie. Such a shame, with someone as amazing as you I was sure it would turn out to be ground breaking.”

”Did you say prison break scene?”

”Naturally, we even have permission to use an area right outside the prison downtown.”

”It is a film that even the top brass in the police are looking forward to.”

”A tale of two comrades. One on the inside, searching for clues to a certain drug lord who killed his sister, while the other on the outside is ready to bail him out the moment he is given the signal by his comrade who is behind bars. It is planned to be a hit drama with a touch of comedy.”

”They were both retired cops, but were sick of the limitations that fighting in the light gave them. Thus, they decided to take things into their own hands. They would stop at nothing to track down this drug lord and take his life.”

”Sounds interesting, right?”

”Yes, very interesting. Hahaha.”

Interesting indeed. I can definitely use this.

”So how is he supposed to bail his comrade out?”

”Naturally we're going to make it big. There's going to be tonnes of explosions. Ah of course it's all CG. I'll fill you in on the details later. Since you're interested, how about we get you to the auditions for the replacement. They'll be going on for another five hours until 10:00 PM. You won't have long to memorize your lines for tomorrow, but there's no helping it since we're in a pickle and on a very tight schedule.”

He handed over what looked to be a manuscript containing the lines for the actors. I assume this is something similar to the manuscript to a play.

Hah. As a semi transcendent my memory is naturally top quality, remembering these lines is no problem at all.

I followed behind the young man and we reached a building that had the word ”theatre” written above the entrance.

When we walked in, the young man was greeted by many different people. He paid them no heed and quickly walked into a room that had a bunch of males sitting on chairs in a line who seemed to be also auditioning for the role. The young man pointed towards the end of the line of chairs and told me to take a seat.

My three minions also followed behind me and remained standing behind the chair I sat on.

”Boss are you really going to take part in this movie? What about the crown prince?”

”You moron! Naturally we can use this movie as a chance to break the crown prince out. Are you really that stupid?”

”Ah! Now that you mention it, he did say something about the prison downtown tomorrow.”

”Hey boss, speaking of prisons, something has been on my mind for a while now. The whole point of the bank robbery was to bail him out right? Then shouldn't he have been released after the cops got their money? Is there any reason to go back on his words? What would they gain by not releasing him? That sixth fellow who took the money… did the cops really go back on their word, was that fellow really one of their men?”

”They would gain our silence by keeping him locked up. He is basically a hostage now. With him in their hands, we can't rat them out regarding the embezzled and stolen money.”

”Now that you mention it though, that man… he was wearing daoist clothing similar to ours.”

”Back then I thought that was a sign that he might have been someone they planted there and the clothing was to make it obvious. When he winked and nodded at me I was even more convinced that was the case. But… if you're right and he wasn't…”

”It's been bugging me, but boss, didn't his clothing look similar to the sect garments of the Good Fortune sect?”

Are you kidding me?! Damn it! That brat conned me! I couldn't stop myself from standing up in rage when I realized how badly I'd been played.

A simple wink and nod was enough to deceive my eyes? What the hell was that wink and nod even supposed to mean then? Was it fun playing me to death? Did you enjoy the feeling of being handed over all that money without breaking a sweat?!

No, I refuse to believe a brat from the Good Fortune sect could play me like that. The clothing must have been a coincidence. That cop was crafty after all, he probably had seen someone with clothing like that recently, most likely someone really from the Good Fortune sect and decided to use that as a guide.

He may have actually just taken the sect garments by force if he did see a sect disciple and gave it to his accomplice. After all, the disciples from the Good Fortune sect are mostly mortal realm ants. With their guns, taking care of some mortal realm cultivator brats is no problem.

He likely wanted to misdirect my anger from him and the police and make me think I had really given the money away to an unrelated stranger. Perhaps he even interrogated the disciple he found and unveiled information pertaining to the Good Fortune sect. He may even have thought to try to use them as a scapegoat so his side could play dumb and act like they knew nothing.

That cop!

Honestly, isn't he pretty good? Why is he just working as a dog for law enforcement when he is such a schemer?
