Chapter 86 Ji Hanwu (1/2)
In the military region of Chang'an, a building with unique characteristics sat atop a hill. The building was at least 200 meters in height and looked like a propped-up stand.
On the horizontal bars of the stand stood a golden Divine Hawk with both eyes closed. It was resting when it suddenly opened both eyes and a golden, glowing plume appeared. It fixed its gaze to the south and called out with a crisp and clear sound that reverberated in the sky above the military camp.
”What's the matter? Is the ape from the Dark Ember Forest out?”
”No, it looks like Golden God discovered something. Hurry up and investigate.”
”There's no need to investigate. It's that person from the Southern Sky Group. He's here in Chang'an,” said a white-haired old man in military uniform, coughing as he walked out from behind.
”Why would that person arrive in Chang'an so late? Aren't their headquarters in the City of Yu?”
”There's no need to worry, just sound the alert as usual,” said the old man. He seemed to be widely respected and made the decision.
...
A gigantic long white figure hovered in the sky before suddenly diving and slamming down. Under the violent wind, all the grasses and plants remained firmly pressed against the ground.
The gigantic figure looked like a dragon but was neither a dragon nor a snake. It had a fully grown white mane on its neck, and no horns on its head. Beneath its body was a pair of claws for forelimbs, each with three sharp talons.
From its appearance alone it could no longer be regarded as a snake, and it was evolving towards becoming a dragon. It would not have been unreasonable to call it an aquatic dragon.
The huge claws slammed down violently and death loomed over the people beneath it. The area under the attack range of the claw included the man who had fainted on the ground.
A lethal threat was closing in on their backs.
Dr. Jiang kneeled down on the ground and screamed, ”I have Gao Peng's child!”
The giant falling claw forced a change in direction in midair and hit the ground on the side, creating trenches several feet deep over a dozen feet in length. A gust of foul violent wind blew past the area, turning everyone's face a ghastly white.
Dr. Jiang blabbered on and on saying, ”Master Chairman, I did not let anyone know about Gao Peng. However, I have set up a program; as long as I don't decode the program on time, the program will send news about Gao Peng to the mobile devices of every employee in the Southern Sky Group. I can delete this program anytime I want,” said Dr. Jiang. He spoke in haste as he was afraid that if he spoke too slowly, he would be killed.
A muscular body leaped to the ground from the back of the white aquatic dragon.
The person wore a loose and white-colored Hanfu, had wide shoulders like two towering mountains, and beneath his snow-white eyebrows was a pair of eyes as sharp as those of an eagle.
Every step he made was neither too fast nor too slow. He walked as if he were stepping on their hearts.
Dr. Jiang's younger brother and the bald man felt an inexplicable sense of guilt after locking eyes with that gaze
Ji Hanwu looked calm. One could not tell his emotions. ”What did you say just now?”
”Master Chairman, what I said just now was nonsense that I spouted due to nervousness. I have never even met Gao Peng before, I've only heard of his identity,” Dr. Jiang said as he laughed awkwardly. He did not have time to say much. He might have been killed before he finished his sentence. Gao Peng's sexual orientation was certainly common, and what he said previously was just something he made up on the spot to preserve his life.
”Okay.” Ji Hanwu felt relieved. He almost thought that his grandson had developed some weird type of sexual orientation. Fortunately, that was not the case.
”Who told you this information?” Ji Hanwu looked into Dr. Jiang's eyes.
Dr. Jiang hesitated. It didn't seem nice to snitch on others.
”Forget it if you don't want to tell. Everyone has their own will, I won't force it,” Ji Hanwu said.
”It's Secretary Liu,” Dr. Jiang said, only hesitating briefly.
