Chapter 117: The Man in the Mansion (1/2)
Alex had lost all of his Qi by now. He was sitting on the floor, waiting for his master to come back. Within a few minutes after it was 2 am, his master finally arrived.
”Did you learn the book already?” his master asked.
”Yes, Master. I'm done.” He replied.
Wen Cheng had no problem believing him. ”Okay, stand up. It's time we train again. I won't go as easy as last time today.”
Over the next 4 hours, they trained until the morning and only stopped when the sun started to rise. ”Alright, that's enough for today. I see you've already broken through so you won't have to for another day.”
” For today, I suggest you fight until the badge number 184. Although that's not that much of a higher number, starting now, the opponents will be harder and harder to fight for you. After you get the 184th badge, I will give you the next technique.”
”Okay, master.” Alex nodded and left the training hall. He went back to his room and logged out.

Somewhere else in the real world,
Outside of a giant door, a girl was sitting in the hallway, twirling her bangs along her face, clearly bored. She was wearing a blue dress and had a red bag with her. Her cute face looked cuter as she pouted. She had to wait outside the door for so long, and she didn't like that.
Another hour passed and the girl was still there, waiting for the door to open. Suddenly, the lock to the door opened and a middle-aged man in a white robe walked out.
He had no beard or mustache on his face and his long hair was tied in a ponytail behind him. He looked a little weak, almost as if he hadn't gotten sleep for the last few days.
”Hmm…” he noticed the girl in front of his door who was looking at him with a pout on her face. ” Oh, Hao Ya, how long have you been waiting here?” he asked.
The girl was called Hao Ya. She was the same Hao that the president of the Deva corporation practically worshiped as his benefactor. While she had a haughty face and attitude around others, in front of this man, she was a little child pouting because he took too long to leave his room.
”What took you so long? I have been waiting here forever.” She said in an angry voice.
The man laughed a little and said, ”Ah, it took me longer than I had assumed it would. I was giving some final touches to the new items and I lost track of time.”
The girl took out a stack of papers. ”Here you go. You asked for these, didn't you?” she said as she handed the stack of paper to the man.
”These are?” he looked at the stack of papers with a look of confusion.
”The records from Deva Corp., for the last month and a half.” Hao Ya said.
