Chapter 263: There She Goes Again (2/2)
Half a month later, on a starry night, Wang Tong walked out of the library quietly. He had been spent much time in the library, researching techniques of fleet combat. Although his micro control was gone with the same wind that blew away his soul energy, he still held a solid understanding of the macro management of the space battle. After much research, he registered that the Soring Heaven and the Art of the Iron Wall could be refined further.
He hoped that if he could do well in fleet control, he might have a chance of becoming a first mate on a fleet without any soul energy. While Wang Tong was engrossed in his thoughts, someone stopped him cold. Even without soul energy, Wang Tong could tell that this person was a powerful fighter.
”This way, Wang Tong.” The man in black said.
Wang Tong recognized that voice right away, ”You are from House of Li.”
”Our lady sent us.” The man in black said placidly.
”I have nothing to say to her.”
”Wang Tong, I might have to fight you into submission before, but now... you better do as I say.”
”Over my dead body!”
”You got a quite an attitude, don't you? Lad, I like that. But you know our lady's temperament., I would be worried about your friends' lives if I were you. ”
The man in black softened his voice. He was just doing his job. As a matter of fact, he liked this kid based on what he had heard about him. He conceded that Wang Tong was extremely unlucky to have offended Li Ruoer when she was at the critical point of breaching into her next level of cultivation. As the agitated soul energy rattled Li Ruoer's sanity, no one knew what the next crazy action she took would be. This was supposed to be a normal process in cultivating the Tactics of the Enchantress, and this man was hired by the House of Li to look after Li Ruoer when she was at her craziest, and also the most vulnerable.
Wang Tong nodded as he registered that he had no other options.
The man in black led him to a five-star hotel in downtown Shang Jin, where Li Ruoer had rented out the entire floor to ensure secrecy.
Li Ruoer was in a sleeveless tank top and jean shorts, revealing a pair of beautiful long legs. She waited impatiently for Wang Tong as she planned out her revenge.
It had been a while since they last met at the Aurora City, but it still seemed too short to Wang Tong.
Li Ruoer's face lit up at the sight of Wang Tong, but her smile quickly faded as she was disappointed by that arrogant and defiant look on Wang Tong's face.
”Wang Tong, long time no see. You barely changed at all!”
”What do you want?” Wang Tong grunted indifferently. He no longer cared about their petty feud as he just wanted to get it over with as soon as possible.
Li Ruoer couldn't stand his indifferent tone and anger sprout out inside of her. The flame twisted her lips into a contorted laugh. ”Who do you think you ARE? You are nothing without your abilities.”
”Perhaps, but I did kick you’re a*s pretty good, and I will do it again if I could.” Wang Tong rolled his eyes as he spoke.
Wang Tong's words added more fuel to the flame in Li Ruoer's eyes, and made it burned brighter. She wanted to enrage Wang Tong, but it had appeared that it was her rage that had gone out of control. She squeezed her hands, trying to rein in her anger as she wondered what had supported Wang Tong's pomposity even after losing his soul energy.
She applauded methodically, and then stood up in front of Wang Tong, ”What a hero! Alright then, tough guy, let me tell you why you are here. I had invited you to watch a show with me.”
Li Ruoer knew that physical pain would have little to no effect on crippling Wang Tong's will. To succeed, she needed something more personal.
Li Ruoer waved her hand as a projection appeared on the wall. The initially blurry image gave an impression of someone sitting on a chair, but as the picture took a few seconds to become clearer, Wang Tong's heart sank after seeing that the person was Zhou Sisi, and her hands were tied to the chair.
”This girl must be obsessed with you! She was researching ways of healing you in the library, but unfortunately for her, she forgot about the danger on the streets.”
”You are crazy!” Wang Tong bawled out.
General Li Feng was wise to not leave the Tactics of Blade to his sick and morally degenerate b*stards.
