562 Learning from the Great One (1/2)
”Brother Jiang Fei, I've been waiting for you to call me. If you hadn't, I would have called you instead!,” said Shroder. The deal he made with the Vatican was not a kept secret and almost all who were interested in Jiang Fei knew about it. Naturally, the Mutant Brotherhood knew.
Most importantly, if Jiang Fei was willing to trade with the Vatican, it means that Jiang Fei was willing to trade with anyone as long as they had what Jiang Fei wanted. Hence, by the time news about Jiang Fei reached the Brotherhood, Shroder himself would have gone to Jiang Fei if he had not come to him.
”My bad. We are friends. I should have contacted you earlier!” Jiang Fei laughed, ”So, how much do you want?”
”Sorry, I'm not in the position to make any decision. See, the higher-ups are the ones that do that. However, knowing my boss, I think they would want as much as they could afford. It's a life-saving pill, after all. No one would be stingy on that!” said Shroder.
Whether is it the Metahuman Society, China Martial Artist Alliance, or the world governments, no one would let anything that could be made into thermonuclear arsenals be traded around like fruits. However, if the Japanese were to come attack with their army of Bio-Humans, anyone would counter them with Metahumans or Mutants. It would not be feasible to use nuclear weapons to fight with them. In the end, all the Uranium were treated as a security liability, whereas Jiang Fei's pills were far more valuable.
That was why when Jiang Fei was trading large quantities of nuclear materials, the government of China did not stop him.
”Alright, do what you must. I'll be waiting for your call,” said Jiang Fei before hanging up.
When he was at home, Jiang Fei was calm and relaxed. He put up a face like that was nothing wrong in the world even though the threat of the Japanese was right around the corner. The reason was simple; he did not want to worry his parents.
Everyone was happy during dinner and Jiang Fei even spent some time with his parents watching a random comedy show on television. After that, he went to bed. Instead of sleeping straight away liked he always did, he called Si Tuying and the two of them chatted happily till Si Tuying was too tired to even say goodbye. Jiang Fei hung up and slept.
By the time Jiang Fei logged into the game, it was already 12 midnight. There was still one more day until the new patch arrives and there was practically nothing for him to do in the game. He, Isabella, and Sylphy decided to roam around the Faction Area. Half a day later, he was joined by Ariel. After helping her father in cleaning up the Naga's nest, Ariel had nothing else important to do. Hence, she came over to Jiang Fei and joined him in his merry little ride around the Faction area.
The next day, when Jiang Fei logged out, the server started patching its content for the newly released information.
When Jiang Fei was done with his breakfast, he received a call from Han Tianyu when he was helping his mother to wash the dishes. Every single time Jiang Fei received a call from Han Tianyu, he could feel his heart sink a little, hoping to not hear bad news. Luckily, Han Tianyu was in a good mood when he greeted Jiang Fei. He informed Jiang Fei that the nuclear materials that Jiang Fei had asked from Celine Trish had been prepared and were waiting to be picked up. As fast as he could, Jiang Fei finished up the dishes and headed out of his house after informing his parents.
Jiang Fei took a cab to the outskirts of the city and when there was nobody in sight, he materialized the hoverboard and flew into the sky. As soon as he was in Europe, Jiang Fei changed his appearance to that of Zhuge Shanzhen. With a flash of light, Jiang Fei had turned into an elegant, smart-looking old man. At the speed of sound, Jiang Fei headed straight to the coordinates that he had obtained from Han Tianyu.
It was past noon by the time Jiang Fei arrived at the arranged destination. It was located far North of Europe, in a port by the sea. There, he saw a huge storage house. Just as he approached the storage unit, there were several people waiting at the entrance. Of all the people then, he only recognized one man.
The man was the high ranking Inquisitor of the Church, Kazas. He had met him once when Jiang Fei, pretending to be Zhuge Shanzhen, stole all the Uranium that was the mines that Kazas guarded. It seems that Celine Trish had purposely arranged a man that ”Zhuge Shanzhen” was familiar with.
”Sir! Sir! Over here!” cried Kazas in Mandarin albeit it was not really good.
”Hm? The Spiritual Man!” Jiang Fei replied and descended to him.
As he landed, Jiang Fei merely kicked the sword away and it miraculously floated to his back and latched itself there.
