Chapter 68: Being Tracked

Tang Xiu liked to be able to feel the hunger sensation which made him feel the smell of fire and smoke. He also recalled the time when he was still in the Immortal World as he usually didn’t need to eat, and only ate exotic rare fruits whenever he wanted to eat.

Seven emotions and six sensory pleasures, as well as delicious delicacies and exquisite beverages… [1]

The taste and smell of the profane and mundane life made him somewhat enchanted. The thing he particularly cherished was that his mother was still here, and he had the opportunity to make up for the regrets he had for 10 millennia.

After a short while…

Tang Xiu left the villa as he wandered along the trail of flowers under the trees’ shadows whilst enjoying the birdsongs, the fragrance of flowers, as well as the tranquil and peaceful atmosphere in the surroundings. South Gate Town was indeed worthy to be called the best luxury villa district in Star City. Every time he met the security guards, they stopped to salute, showing respect to him along the way.

“Money and wealth truly makes the world go round.”

Tang Xiu secretly savored this saying. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was true. The society he was living in today was entirely different from the Immortal World. The strong and powerful might be revered and respected in the Immortal World, but on Earth, the haves and the wealthy were people that gained respect.

“Hello, Mr. Tang.”

The tall and beautiful Real Estate Manager, Long Xueyao happened to pass by as she greeted Tang Xiu while smiling.

Tang Xiu also smiled and nodded. When he had just walked for a few steps, he suddenly remembered about the villa’s cleaning and maintenance problem. He immediately stopped and called Long Xueyao, “Manager Long, I have something to ask you.”

Long Xueyao smiled and replied, “Mr. Tang, please do say.”

Tang Xiu said, “Manger Long, does the South Gate Town Real Estate Management Office also give cleaning and maintenance service? I would like someone to come and clean.”

Long Xueyao said, “We indeed have a cleaning and maintenance service. But for that, we charge for additional fees. However, I’d suggest Mr. Tang to hire a few butlers or housemaids, since your villa has a lot of precious items. Although the Real Estate Management Office also has cleaning staffs, however, it’s best to avoid any accidents later.”

Tang Xiu replied, “Hiring housemaids or butlers would have to wait. For now, please ask someone to clean up my villa. As for the payment, I’ll give it to you now.”

Having finished speaking, Tang Xiu took a stack of hundreds yuan paper money from his bag and directly handed it to Long Xueyao.

Long Xueyao looked at Tang Xiu with a strange expression. She had never thought that Tang Xiu would carry so much cash. She could tell that this stack of paper money would amount to 10,000 yuan. Moreover, a moment ago, when Tang Xiu took the money from his bag, she could see a lot of stacked 100 yuan paper money.

_“He’s a strange person!”_ Long Xueyao secretly whispered in her heart.

Nowadays, even though one were rich, only a few people would carry so much cash. The age had changed as the “Credit Card” in business had flourished and became popular amongst the people in the whole country.

“Mr. Tang, you don’t need to give me the money now. Each month’s charging fee is calculated and collected by the management office. By that time, a detailed and total expense report would be sent to you.”

Tang Xiu thought for a moment and then nodded, “Alright, then please send cleaning staff every 2 or 3 days. Anyways, I have something to do first, so I have to go. Bye.”

“Take care, Mr. Tang!”

Long Xueyao quietly watched Tang Xiu’s back as a thoughtful expression filled her eyes. She was very curious about Tang Xiu, because the villa he was living in was the most expensive villa in South Gate Town. It was preserved for her cousin, Long Zhengyu. The interior design and decorations were specifically arranged by a specialist hired by her cousin. All the materials used for the building were the finest. But why would her cousin give the villa to this young man?

At South Gate Town…

Because the district was very large, it was quite a long time for Tang Xiu to go out of it. There was a bustling commercial street near South Gate Town with rows of upscale shops selling luxurious goods.

When Tang Xiu had just entered this commercial street, traces of food flavors floated in the air. He then walked forward and looked around as his eyes quickly fell onto a plaque decoration on top of an interesting and appealing restaurant that was being renovated. The plaque was carved with the “Immortal Drinking Place” words in a bold and cursive calligraphy style, giving off a bold and powerful look.

Tang Xiu entered the shop and then sat on the table near the window. He casually ordered 2 vegetable dishes and a staple food when the waiter gave him the menu. He then calmly waited.

“Humph……”

As Tang Xiu’s eyes saw through the windows, he keenly caught a few youths stealthily moving on the distant road junction. After he left South Gate Town, he had already been aware and had an intense feeling that some eyes were staring at him. However, as to avoid alerting and letting those people figure it out, he didn’t look around, and instead came to this restaurant and only observed them secretly.

He was somewhat worried that there were a few criminals that had slipped by amongst the criminals he had killed. He was not afraid of being retaliated against. However, it was very easy to guard against any attack in the open, but it would be hard to guard against hidden attacks from the dark. Much more, he was more afraid that the remaining surviving criminals would retaliate through his mother, just like they were retaliating against Yuan Chuling by kidnapping his mother.

At the street’s intersection…

Scarface Lee was leaning in the corner whilst smoking a cigarette and observing the “Immortal Drinking Place” where Tang Xiu was in. Half an hour ago, he rushed over toward South Gate Town, because he had received the money from a client to deal with someone. He didn’t know how many times he had done this.

“Big Brother, why didn’t we just act a moment ago? Looking at that brat’s looks, I can quickly fuck him up.” A youth with bleached blonde hair asked with a puzzled expression.

“Right! We had the opportunity to clean that kid up when he just left South Gate Town, why didn’t we hit him?” The other sturdy young man asked.
