Chapter 600: Slave (1/2)
Chapter 600: Slave
It didn’t take Huang Xiaolong much time to reach the Luo Tong Residence from the Black Warrior City’s transmission array.
However, what baffled Huang Xiaolong upon his arrival at the Luo Tong Residence was the fact that the guards stationed at the main entrance weren’t any one of the subordinates he had brought over from the Martial Spirit World.
Were these newly hired guards? Huang Xiaolong mused.
“Stop right there, what are you here for? State your purpose in coming to the Luo Tong Residence!” Just as Huang Xiaolong was about to step into the residence, the guards stationed at the main entrance blocked his path, while one of them barked at him.
“I’m Huang Xiaolong.” Huang Xiaolong stopped, but there was a tiny frown between his brows.
“Huang Xiaolong?” The same guard snapped, “What do I care what ‘long’ you are, today our Enforcer Wuyue is not receiving any guests.” The guard was rude and arrogant.
Enforcer Wuyue? Something flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s mind. He remembered that among the ten God Realm masters he hired from the Azure Sea Firm, there was one named Wuyue. But since when did this Wuyue become the Luo Tong Residence’s Enforcer? More accurately, since when did the Luo Tong Residence have an ‘Enforcer’ position, why wasn’t he aware of it? On top of everything else, from the way these guards spoke, it sounded as if this Enforcer Wuyue was the real owner of the Luo Tong Residence?!
Currently, Huang Xiaolong was not wearing his Black Warrior Institute inner disciple robe, thus the four guards naturally took Huang Xiaolong as an ordinary God Realm warrior that came to seek a guard position.
Huang Xiaolong shot a cold look at the four guards before opening the Eye of Hell on his forehead. In an instant, everything that was happening inside the Luo Tong Residence entered his Eye of Hell’s scope of vision.
Inside the Luo Tong Residence’s main hall, amongst the ten Tenth Order God Realm masters that Huang Xiaolong hired earlier, two of them were seated at the hosts’ seating at the head of the hall, one of them being that Wuyue, whereas Huang Xiaolong’s parents, Huang Peng and Su Yan, they were relegated to an inferior subordinate seating!
What angered Huang Xiaolong the most was that both Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu’s bodies were filled with angry whip marks as they knelt on the floor in the main hall.
Wuyue’s voice sounded in Huang Xiaolong’s ears as he reprimanded Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu: “Two measly half-step God Realms like you two dare to contradict this Enforcer, defying your superiors! Continue to whip them for me, another hundred lashes!”
Two guards standing at the sides in the main hall acknowledged respectfully, waving the whips in their hands to strike Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu’s bodies.
“Stop!!” Both Huang Peng and Su Yan shouted in anger.
“Wuyue, Zhang Quan, you’re crossing the line!” Huang Peng was angered to the point he was pointing at the two and shouting, “Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu aren't at fault at all, and even if they were, it would the two of us punishing them, not you lot! How can you punish Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu without rhyme or reason?!”
Wuyue looked as if he didn’t notice Huang Peng’s anger, speaking in an unhurried leisurely voice, “Residence Lord Huang, what I’m doing is for your own good, these dogs of a servant don't understand rules and etiquette. I’m only educating them so they understand the distinction between master and servant, what a servant should do and shouldn’t be doing.”
“Exactly so.” The man beside Wuyue, Zhang Quan sneered, “Otherwise, what if one of these days these ignorant slaves accidentally cause catastrophic trouble for the Luo Tong Residence? By right, you should be thanking us.” At the end of his words, a towering momentum swept out from his body.
“Punk, did you hear what I’ve said?” The loud obnoxious guard got irritated watching Huang Xiaolong stood there like a statue, “Our Enforcer Wuyue is not seeing anyone today, if you’re here to apply for a guard position, come again tomorrow! Now, quickly leave!”
Huang Xiaolong did not move, he asked, “Is Enforcer Wuyue the decision maker in the Luo Tong Residence? What about Residence Lord Huang?”
The guard grinned nastily, “Residence Lord Huang? What Residence Lord Huang, in our eyes that’s just a wastrel that can’t even reach the Saint realm. In our eyes, there’re only Enforcer Wuyue and Zhang Quan!”
“That’s right.” Another guard chimed in, “We’re guards recruited by Enforcer Wuyue, we only listen to Enforcer Wuyue. As for that dogfart Residence Lord Huang, ptui! A mid-level Xiantian realm garbage dares to dream of ordering us around?”
