Chapter 657 - The Butcher (1/2)

The road gradually becomes a bit bumpy. Song Yuan fetches a bottle of water for Gao Ge.

The water is not drunk up. A bit of it is left in the bottle, which is used as an ashtray.

When Gao Ge bites a cigarette between the lips, Song Yuan has taken out a lighter and lit it for him.

His hand lighting the cigarette is slightly shivering.

He is still recalling what Gao Ge has just said.

This is definitely a tremendous surprise for him.

If he brings the news back, his position in the Shadow School will be essentially improved.

However, Song Yuan has experienced a lot of ups and downs. After all, as the manager of the information department of the Shadow School, he has to deal with a lot of things so he holds back his excitement and asks, “Gao Ge, may I ask why?”

“Why would I help you? Because you look quite pleasing!” Gao Ge says with certainty. “Anyway, you are much more delightful than Song Yang. I must say Song Yang is really annoying. Therefore, if you two compete for the position of the sovereign, of course I hope that you can win. Does it sound reasonable to you?”

To be honest, Song Yuan feels Gao Ge’s reason is too casual and emotional. Yet, come to think of it, given Gao Ge’s character, he can really make such a decision.

Actually, Song Yuan does admire Gao Ge indeed.

It is not only because of his capability. More importantly, in Song Yuan’s eyes, Gao Ge is a man of simplicity.

Rather than consider so many stakes, he simply acts at will, showing his likes and dislikes freely. He doesn’t fawn on anyone just because the person is too strong to mess with; neither does he despise anyone simply because of the identity gap. Besides, he is rather kind and loyal, which is the most direct impression Song Yuan has of Gao Ge.

You may say such a man is unwise.

Nevertheless, most people would like to have a friend like him if possible.

While Song Yuan is contemplating, Gao Ge asks, “May I ask you a question?”

“Sure!” Song Yuan hastens to nod his head.

“How much do you know about the Dragon Killers?”

Song Yuan’s countenance is slightly changed.

Yet, he heaves a sigh soon.

“To be honest, Gao Ge, it is not that I don’t want to tell you but that we know very little. We definitely know less than the Dragon Court. It is fair enough to say that we only know those people call themselves as Dragon Killers,” Song Yuan says.

Gao Ge is a bit surprised. “Even you can’t find any information about them in light of the information network of the Shadow School?”

Song Yuan shakes his head. “Dragon Killers are much more special than the blessed spots. We can’t even figure out the blessed spots, let alone them.”

Gao Ge nods his head.

Indeed, if the Shadow School really knows something about the Dragon Killers, the information will be revealed to the Dragon Court at once.

As is mentioned, the Dragon Court and the Shadow School are on good terms. Otherwise, the Shadow School wouldn’t have the Ghost-like Steps and the Shadow School wouldn’t help the Dragon Court establish the information network.

After all, the Shadow School is quite special. For them, establishing a good relationship with the Dragon Court is quite necessary.

Soon, the car stops.

“Second Young Master, our car cannot go forward anymore,” the driver says.

“Okay. You go back first. No need to wait here,” Song Yuan says.

The driver shakes his head. “Second Young Master, I must wait here. If you need to stay in this place for long, your phone will run out of power when you come out. In that case, you won’t be able to contact me. It is also difficult to take a taxi here. What about this? I’ll find a place nearby to stay and then come here to wait for you every day.”

Song Yuan thinks about it and then agrees with a nod.

When the car is driven away, Song Yuan turns around and says to Gao Ge, “We must climb the mountain ahead of us before we can see Zhaojiagou.”
