182 Time to Stir up Trouble (2/2)
The guy demands. He is more angry at being interrupted than being called here. He was having a great time with some of the girls that unfortunately enough to get his attention.
”That is because we have guest, Ying. Someone from the Party.”
Mo Shu answers Yang and gestures towards me respectfully. He remains seated with me since his rank within this branch of the organization is as high as it can be.
”Someone from the Party? Another courier? Is it time already?”
Yang casts a glance at me, but he didn't have much opinion, considering that I take the appearance of a middle age man with nothing outstanding.
I am not tall or huge or even looks threatening, and that is just fine because those who are strong will be strong without needing to stand out.
”If it was another courier, Shin wouldn't call request for us to be here personally. He would just bring in some girls to entertain our guest with drugs and whatever they need.”
A voice behind Yang speaks up. It is another guy, but like Mo Shu, he does have a brain and understand the situation without anyone really telling him.
There is also another person with him. A beautiful woman in her mid-20s. She shouldn't really be here normally, as this is a meeting reserved for men. I mean high-ups in the Triad.
And if she holds any position within the organization at all, it would still be quite odd for her to be part of this branch, as each branch really only have 1 leader and 3 bosses.
The leader is on his way here since he doesn't really live in the building. I am actually tracking that guy at the moment through the numerous invisible drones that I have flying everywhere.
I do wonder if anyone will notice them, but considering the technological level of the 90s, it is unlikely that someone will. They are about the size of an insect, not to mention they are also invisible and not giving off any sort of heat signature at all.
”Ah. I didn't expect Miss Xi Shi to join us.”
I speak up before Mo Shu could. He didn't expect Xi Shi to join the meeting either. Obviously, Xi Shi is not her real name. It is more like her callsign within the Party.
”I am curious of who has arrived from the Party, and I don't think I have ever seen you before.”
Xi Shi questions. Her eyes scan me up and down, trying to determine whether I am exactly who I said that I am.
It is quite foolish to impersonate someone from the Party as the repercussion is enormous unless the said imperator has the backing of another organization or country.
”And I don't think I have seen one of the four great beauties either. Actually, that is not true, I believe that I am acquittanced with Diao Chan, at least from my history.”
I response rather cryptically, making Xi Shi to narrow her eyes.
And before she could ask who I am exactly, I decide to introduce myself, as I did say that I would when all the bosses are present. I have said bosses because the leader will not make it.
I need to stir up some trouble after all while becoming their best friends. I am playing both sides. More than two sides actually.
”The name is Lu Bu. That is not my real name. Just a callsign within the Party just like Miss Xi Shi.”
My introduction makes her frown deeply.
The Party in question, which is obviously not the actual communist party currently in power of China but are still related to each other, structures their hierarchy and ranking around historical figures.
Chinese historical figures to be exact.
Something that the British also did with their Knights of the Round.
Xi Shi and Diao Chan are known as four great beauties of China, and they are beautiful in appearance as well as within the Party, not to mention extremely deadly. Femme fatale sort of thing.
As for why Xi Shi is frowning, it is because the Three Kingdoms division is probably the most secretive even within their own Party.
And not only that, it is also because I have taken the name Lu Bu, who is a known traitor in history.
Historically, Lu Bu had betrayed pretty much everyone he works for, thus he was executed by Cao Cao in the end. In other word, Lu Bu is extremely untrustworthy.
The underlying fact did not escape Xi Shi since there is also a brain within that pretty head of hers, but she is unable to come to terms with her own instinct to the fact that I am introducing myself as Lu Bu.
”Are you saying that I shouldn't trust you, Lu Bu?”

”Yes, for I do not trust you, Xi Shi.”
I response and look at everyone else in the room. Aside from Mo Shu and me, everyone is still standing about, probably thinking to themselves.
”Come. Please sit down. We have much to discuss. Also, I have brought something for you unlike Miss Xi Shi, who just show up here without notifying anyone within the Party.”
I suggest and take out a small container from my pocket. It contains the Chimera Serum, which these people need. If they don't take it regularly, they will likely die due to cellular degeneration.
”Aren't we missing someone?”
The only unnamed person in the room asks. He is referring to the leader of this branch, who is actually being intercepted right about now.
”Yes, but I don't think he will make it.”
I response with a frown, making everyone looks at me suspiciously.
They obviously didn't understand what I mean exactly. Their leader is as powerful as them as a Hybrid, which is a Chimera from their point of view, but it means the same regardless.
For me to imply that the leader will not be making it is absurd.
”Like I said, I am here because it concerns the Syndicate. Whose great idea was it to antagonize them?”
