South China Sea, Clam Island.
Yuan Ye, who had been notified in advance of the cargo ship’s arrival, had been waiting for a long time at the northern port before a large cargo ship finally docked. When he saw Tang Xiu floating down from the ship, his tall figure rushed a few steps forward to greet him, “You’re finally back, Boss.”
“Our previous actions were a big display, so I had to delay for a while on our way home,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “But I brought you the people you need; they will stay here to help you later.”
“Where are they?” quickly asked Yuan Ye with a surprised but happy face.
Tang Xiu turned around. After staying silent for 10 seconds, he smiled and pointed to the direction of the cargo ship and replied, “There they are.”
Yuan Ye looked towards the direction of Tang Xiu’s finger. But when he saw a line of men and women of Caucasian, African, and colored descents, the expression on his face turned into wonder. He took some glances at them and then looked at Tang Xiu with a forced smile, “Are you perhaps teasing me or something, Boss? You told us to train those children and turn them into the most elite immortal cultivators to build an army of immortal cultivators. How and where did you get these foreigners from? Do they even understand the path of becoming immortal?”
“I already taught them the immortal cultivation technique and five people have already stepped into the early stage of Qi Refining.” Tang Xiu nodded and said, “Just give them some time and use some cultivation resources on them. I’m sure that most of these guys can become immortal cultivators in no time.”
“But Boss, they are all… beginners” said Yuan Ye with a helpless expression. “How can they teach people? You…”
Tang Xiu raised his hand to interrupt him and said, “Don’t you want to know their origins?”
‘Their origins?’
Yuan Ye wore a blank expression and looked confused as his eyes landed back at the foreign men and women debarking from the cargo ship. After ten seconds or so, his pupils suddenly shrunk and his eyes gleamed. He caught sight of some familiar faces among them.
“Boss, you… where did you get these… these evil-doers? These pariahs…”
“Do you know them?” Again, Tang Xiu raised his hand to interrupt him and asked thoughtfully.
Yuan Ye was unable to groan and felt weak inside as he replied with a forced, wry, and bitter smile, “I know a few of them—some comrades who have fought side by side with me; some enemies I once fought in the battlefield, and there are two faces… two faces that are extremely wicked and vicious. Notwithstanding the fact that I haven’t yet crossed paths with them, none of them are easy to deal with.”
“They are prisoners; convicts that I bought from labor camp 1319 in Israel,” said Tang Xiu with a pale smile. “I used some means to subdue these fellas and they will be our Everlasting Feast Hall’s peripheral members later. Also, they will be yours to manage other than Spectre.”
“Hiss…”
Despite having a firm mind, Yuan Ye was still shocked and gasped after hearing Tang Xiu’s explanation. Awe could be seen sparkling in his eyes as he hurriedly asked, “Labor camp 1319 is the world’s most horrifying large prison; those detained there are highly dangerous criminals sentenced for no less than 100 years… and yet… you were able to buy so many criminals from there?”
“You see, money makes the world go round; it can even make the devils work for you,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “Besides, it’s not so difficult to achieve by resorting on some means and flexing your muscles.”
Yuan Ye understood in a flash, yet he still said with a bitter smile, “But Boss, giving me all these outcasts is kind of too tough of a job for me. Although I’m confident that I can defeat them, they are still vicious and unruly. Managing them will prove to be quite… difficult.”
“I have their lives in my hands. They will only meet one end if they dare to disobey your order: death,” said Tang Xiu. “My request is that you must also drill these guys when you train the children. Carry it out with the harshest of military discipline and do your best to smoothen out their wild and unruly characters as fast as possible. That way, they can become qualified members of the Everlasting Feast Hall quickly.”
Yuan Ye’s expression stirred and he immediately replied, “That would not be a problem then.”
Tang Xiu inhaled deeply and slowly said, “But keep in mind one thing. You must repeatedly brainwash them. Make them loyal to our Everlasting Feast Hall and pledge fealty to me. I don’t want the internal harmony of our Everlasting Feast Hall to get disturbed due to them joining.”
“I’ll do my best,” answered Yuan Ye, a wry smile on his face.
Tang Xiu was silent for a moment and suddenly said, “I’ll assign Zidan, Feng Yang, Shui Gui, Hei Wuya, and Ye Shisan to temporarily stay here and help you. Contact me directly if there’s a problem you can’t solve later.”
Yuan Ye knew that these five men including Zidan were the elites of the Everlasting Feast Hall who had been selected to become Tang Xiu’s bodyguards. Anyone of them was much stronger than him, causing the worries in his heart to finally vanish without a trace.
“With those five staying to help me, I’ll definitely train these evildoers you brought from labor camp 1319 and turn them into a qualified elite force of our Everlasting Feast Hall, Boss.”
Tang Xiu patted his shoulder and looked at the crowd who were now lined up with their respective squad. He spoke in a deep voice, “I’ll introduce you to this man. His name is Yuan Ye and he will also become your highest commander during your stay in Clam Island. His orders are my orders from now on, and you all must obey him unconditionally; else, don’t blame me for being ruthless later.”
