GOR Chapter 578 It Has Been A While

“Boss?”

“Let us go!”

War Tiger did not turn back as he led Wang Sheng with him up to the second floor. After identifying the three figures at the castle gate, his eyes, which were hidden behind his iron mask, revealed complexity.

…

Searching through the first floor again, they found nothing new. Chen Xiaolian and Phoenix had reaffirmed this. Thus, the three of them decided to move to the second floor of the castle.

The stairs were wide. Despite his small stature, Chen Xiaolian did not hesitate to take the lead.

There at the stairway point on the second floor, two groups of people met.

A sharp ray of light descended from the ceiling and fell upon Chen Xiaolian’s face.

The sword in Chen Xiaolian’s hand was only partially raised when he quickly took a step back, allowing the blade to reach his forehead. There was less than 10 centimetres between the tip of the blade and Chen Xiaolian’s forehead.

A warm smile could be seen on Chen Xiaolian’s face. “It has been a while… … Komi-chan.”

Nagase Komi had the near bald head and her neck sported a few more tattoos. Despite her tender face, there was a minor look of defiance on her face.

“Guild Leader?”

Nagase Komi blurted out and she put down the blade in her hand.

“Err… … actually, I have not been your Guild Leader for a long time now.” Chen Xiaolian scratched his head awkwardly. Next, his gaze diverted away from Nagase Komi to rest upon an old man who appeared weary and lazy.

“Sir Generalissimo, it has been a while.”

Sawakita Mitsuo raised his folding fan in a greeting gesture and said, “Chen-san, you still have that same air about you. However, it seems every time I meet you, there are always beautiful girls around you.”

“Sir Generalissimo, well met.” Phoenix said coolly.

“Aha ha ha, Guild Leader Phoenix.”

Sawakita Mitsuo greeted Phoenix and crouched down to look at Soo Soo. “What a good little one.”

There was a hint of seriousness in his tone.

Soo Soo winked at the Shogunate Generalissimo.

After looking at the little girl for a moment, Sawakita Mitsuo raised his head to look at Chen Xiaolian. There was a lamenting air in his expression. “You… … sigh, you have had it rough.”

Chen Xiaolian furrowed his brows, but was quick to smile and said, “I am still doing all right. I can still hold on.”

“Men of ability would strive for the extraordinary oh.” Sawakita Mitsuo then fumbled about through his clothes. After feeling about, he pulled something out from a certain pocket. It was something small and he held it in his gripped palm, which he brought before Soo Soo. Then, he spread open his palm.

“Meeting a junior for the first time, it won’t do for an old man like me to not give something. Come, this is a little something to show my sincerity… … mm, although it is not something great, perhaps… … it may prove useful.”

Resting on his palm was a jade fragment.

It was slightly yellowed. It was not whole and appeared as though someone had forcefully knocked this small fragment out of something made of jade.

Soo Soo stared with widened eyes at Chen Xiaolian, seemingly to see what Chen Xiaolian thought of this: Should she accept or not.

Nagase Komi’s face, however, underwent a large change.
