“We just came to Macao and we’re unfamiliar with the situation here,” the old man shook his head indifferently and said, “There have been a lot of terrifying figures appearing in Macao ever since this territory returned to China, so we must cut off all the risk factors and promptly move.”
The petite woman thought about his words before she nodded and came to the master bedroom’s door and called out, “Young Master, we need to move now.”
The silver-haired youth opened his eyes with an angry look as he immediately got out of the bed and dressed himself up. He didn’t even glance at the two beautiful blondes who slept like a log before he opened the door and then came out asking, “What happened? Why we must move late at night?”
“Some suspicious people are strolling around the hotel, though it’s not yet clear what their purpose is,” said the petite woman. “But we should immediately move to a safer place so as to avoid any unforeseen events. I’ll contact our men in safehouse no. 2 as long as you agree with the move. They will immediately prepare to meet you.”
A chilling light flashed in the youth’s eyes as he said coldly, “Do you suspect them to be Grand Fortune Jewelry’s men?”
“If we’re not their target, then they shouldn’t be from Grand Fortune Jewelry,” said the petite woman. “But if they are indeed monitoring us, they are either the Grand Fortune Jewelry’s people or your big brother’s.”
“It’s impossible for Grand Fortune Jewelry to have such a powerful intelligence network that can lock onto our position from just a few phone calls,” said the white-haired youth with a snort. “It seems that good brother of mine is really ready to move! Alright, let’s move and leave this place.”
A few minutes later, a group of seven people left the hotel but didn’t exit the normal way. Instead, they quietly headed to a secluded corner of the hotel and directly jumped down from the 24th floor before disappearing into the back garden. Just half a minute after they left, a ghostly figure silently appeared following the direction of the traces they left.
“Huh?” the man’s shadow abruptly stopped at the edge of the garden just half a minute later. To be precise, he was blocked by a black mist that was spreading toward the surrounding area.
“They are from the Dark Shaman clan?”
Dread filled Hu Zhiwu’s eyes as he stood atop the towering tree. He didn’t continue his pursuit because he was well aware of the function of this black mist. Even if he were to rush through the mist, he would probably lose his direction inside. However, he couldn’t give up on the mission assigned by his Boss.
Hu Zhiwu took his mobile phone and activated his chatting app. He quickly issued an order, “A Jin, A Tong. They just left the hotel and are heading toward your position. Keep an eye on them and I’ll catch up with you right away. They are from the Dark Shaman clan, so keep in touch with me by reporting your position.”
“Got it!” the reply was simple.
Hu Zhiwu hung up and dialed Tang Xiu’s cell number. His call was quickly picked up and he immediately spoke before Tang Xiu had spoken yet, “Boss, I’ve got a new situation to report.”
“Tell me,” Tang Xiu’s voice was heard from the cell phone.
“We’ve been monitoring Conrad Hotel as per your order and a group of seven just left a few minutes again,” reported Hu Zhiwu. “I found their tracks and am kind of obstructed by a black mist. I suspect that they are from the Dark Shaman clan.”
“What clan is this Dark Shaman clan, exactly?” asked Tang Xiu.
“We have information about the Dark Shaman clan in our Everlasting Feast Hall archives,” said Hu Zhiwu. “They are from Thailand, but their influence has reached all the various other countries in Southeast Asia. This Dark Shaman clan is also known as having a witchcraft lineage, kind of similar to black magic in Europe but not quite the same. The Dark Shaman clan is also one of the top experts in Southeast Asia.”
“Is this Dark Shaman clan very powerful?” asked Tang Xiu in a deep voice.
“This clan was very powerful some decades ago since they had many people who were proficient in witchcraft. At the peak of their time, however, they provoked powerful enemies, one of which was the world’s second largest organization—The League of Archcrusaders—leading to an earthshaking war between the two. The latter finally gained victory and nearly annihilated the Dark Shaman clan. This clan should have recovered some of its strength after a few decades, but they have long lost their past glory since.”
“I see,” said Tang Xiu lightly. “Keep tracking them. You must not lose them. I’ll catch up with you in Macao within two hours.”
“Understood!” said Hu Zhiwu with a solemn and respectful tone.
Two hours later, Tang Xiu arrived in Macao along with Mo Awu and the rest. Just as he disembarked from the liner, two stalwart men strode to greet him.
“Boss!” saluted the two men respectfully.
“How’s the current situation; where are the Dark Shaman now?” asked Tang Xiu after nodding at them.
“They are in a farmhouse in the agritourism area of East Dragon Bank,” answered one of them. “Captain Hu already has the place surrounded by our men and is now waiting for you to arrive, Boss.”
“Let’s go there then!” said Tang Xiu.
East Dragon Bank, a farmhouse in the fishing village.
