251 Detective Ryuu (1/2)
Ryuu aka Liam Nanda stood along with others wearing a white clothes with the insignia of the family on his back as a person from the Mendez family inspected them, giving them long winded lecture on loyalty honesty and what not, Liam was very very bored as such he used the ultimate technique directly from his 2nd sister Sylvana's arsenal 'Sleeping with your eyes open'.
A few tedious minutes later another person arrived with a big notebook, he sat on a chair and as the names were called one by one as they approached the man they were granted a couple of pills, the man then spoke with a smile, ”This pills will aid in your cultivation, since you are all like a family members from now to us irrespective of your age, sex or strength as such her Ladyship the Matriarch of our clan provided you all with means to grow stronger, every fortnight each of you would receive as such normally we would have given you everyday if possible but alas our condition is not so good, but fear not we will be fare to our family members and we will always be with by their side.”
All the people present had their eyes go red as tears appeared in them, this Qi gathering pills were very expensive to be handed out just like that and being treated like family it was a good decision to join the 'Mendez Family', one of the more passionate one shouted out at the top of his voice, ”Long Live the Mendez Family!!!!”
His shout broke the dam as other joined him including Liam who shouted out for the sake of appearance, the man basked in glory as Liam send a strand of his KI inside the pills as he studied it, a normal Qi gathering pill was at 60% efficient but there were a few items which made no sense, 'Why would they use such items, it lowered the pills effectiveness by a good few percent at the very least but this particular thing no way it is a narcotic but they are trying to make us addicted to them, how vicious they are trying to make us completely depend on them at the very least at the same time removing the chance of a revolt.'
They were taken by another person as they stood in what seemed to be a dojo, the vaunted 3rd Young Master was present there along with a couple of others, ”Welcome Uncle Alfonso.”
Alfonso: ”Ah, nephew I hope you do not have to wait too much.”
”No I did not have to wait too much.”
Alfonso then turned towards the rest as he spoke with a smile, ”Ah let me introduce you all to Gustavo Mendez, my nephew and the pride of our clan genius who is already at mid Xiantian Level at the age of twenty.”
The new guards simply bowed as they spoke in unison, ”Greetings 3rd Young Master.”, Liam had positioned himself at the rear as such he was able to hide a bit after all he was too prideful to bow in front of them.
Gustavo's eyes roamed as he spoke in a serious tone, ”Not bad not bad, they are all exceptional.”
Liam noticed amongst all the new addition to the guards one of them looked immensely giddy upon receiving the praise, Liam inwardly sighed at that, 'He seems to be one of those worthless waste of space who leaves by buttering others the most untrustworthy kind of person.'
