Luo Yuan was panting as he had been running for almost four to five kilometers in less than a minute, which covered almost every part of the manor. The strenuous exercise had made his skin feel burning hot, his body scorching and his head fog up, which made him look like he had been set ablaze.
He held tightly onto the crazy Mr. Wang’s hair and looked at him in the eye, coldly, before he released his grip, turned around and walked back. In the beginning, he was still gasping for air but after only a few steps, he had recovered and could breathe normally again. His flushed skin had turned back to its original color.
The crazy Mr. Wang was paralyzed on the floor, not recovering for a while. A flicker of fear flashed through his eyes when he was looked at Luo Yuan, as he walked away. The two onlookers stepped aside when they saw Luo Yuan coming over.
The godlike speed that he showed when he went after crazy Mr. Wang had impressed them thoroughly. Therefore, no matter how confident they were, they would be afraid to face such an opponent as skilled as Luo Yuan was.
He walked into the lobby of the first floor to pick up his Zhanmadao. Minister Ren and the other two members of the sword unit tagged along.
”I’m going to report this matter to the superior,” Minister Ren said coldly. Even in all seriousness, anyone could see rather plainly, that he was in a good mood. This incident had brought him great satisfaction, because these sword unit team members had been lavishly utilizing all the resources of Hope City, but never took their responsibilities seriously. They had been coming up with all sorts of excuses, and expressed dissatisfaction whenever they were asked to help, or to recommend a few people.
As he was the Deputy Minister of the organization, he was forced to come but each visit felt like it zapped a few years of his life away. Now, somebody was able to teach them a lesson, so that they would acknowledge that there was someone out there far more superior than they were, and will be more inclined to be humble. Particularly when he saw the formal look on their faces when the other two ran into Luo Yuan, he felt refreshed and relieved, as if he had drunk a glass of ice cold water on a hot Summer’s day.
Of course, Luo Yuan would be a member of the sword unit soon, but for now, he was yet to be!
The other two did not care, and completely disregarded the superficial threats of Minister Ren.
”Hello, I am Li Dong. Pleased to be your colleague and teammate,” a middle-aged man mimicked a welcome gesture, with outstretched hands.
He was short, only about 1.65 meters tall, but he had a big round head. In addition to his homophonous name, no wonder the crazy Mr. Wang called him shorty Li[1].
”I’m Xie Junbang. Welcome to our team,” another member said. He looked about the same age as Luo Yuan, about 25 years old, but he appeared to be rather uneasy and shy when facing him.
”I’m Luo Yuan. Pleasure to be part of team,” Luo Yuan politely shook the two people’s hands.
As a saying goes, keep a low profile but let your work speak for itself. After humbling the members by showing off his abilities, Luo Yuan would have to keep a lower profile to quickly fit in. After all, the team members were not ordinary evolved people but were super evolved people selected from a large group of evolved people in the Reconstruction Area.
Even the crazy Mr. Wang who was beaten by Luo Yuan could easily kill any opponent that had slow reflexes, such as large-sized mutated beasts with low Agility, provided he had a strong attack power. Ergo, the crazy Mr. Wang could not get Luo Yuan because of his fast reflexes.
Being in power and holding a special position had caused many evolved people to be arrogant and vain. Having too high a profile would, in fact, cause others to feel slightly ostracized. When both Li Dong and Xie Junbang saw that Luo Yuan was friendly, they felt slightly relieved.
”Our team leader is currently not around, while our assistant team leader had brought Wu Qianru out for a mission. The only ones who stayed behind, apart from us, are Xu Qianshen and Fang Peobing,” said Li Dong with a smile, as he introduced the team members to Luo Yuan. He then turned to Xie Junhui and asked, ”Oh yes, do you know where they are?”
”They should be in the training room!” Xie Junhui replied, after a thought.
”Would you like to check it out? The training facilities are the best in the whole Reconstruction Area, after the headquarters at New Capital City. I’m not boasting, but you may not have heard of it,” Li Dong kept Luo Yuan guessing.
”Now I’m curious. Is it nearby?” Luo Yuan laughed.
