Xu Feng’s plan was temporarily set aside, and Wang Chong had already become Zhushi Jiu’s die-hard fan, gazing at Zhushi Jiu with admiration.
“Brother Zhushi, why don’t I let you take charge of this operation this time?” Wang Chong suggested.
After Zhushi Jiu exposed his plan, Wang Chong suddenly felt that his previous plan was quite rough and had a high probability of being detected by the enemy.
“No, you should still be in charge,” Zhushi Jiu refused the enticing proposal.
“Don’t underestimate yourself; in my opinion, your plan has a certain degree of feasibility. At least, it will make it difficult for our hidden enemies to make a move.”
“Right? Haha, I think so too!” Wang Chong laughed smugly.
Zhushi Jiu silently looked at Wang Chong’s carefree and arrogant demeanor, adjusting his impression of Wang Chong. Zhushi Jiu continued to assess Wang Chong’s value, only to discover that apart from having some money, Wang Chong’s other qualities were quite ordinary. Was such a person really worth Xu Feng’s utilization?
“Let’s go, Brother Zhushi. I’ll take you out to have some fun. There are many interesting things here, and I’ll guarantee you’ll be satisfied! It’ll be even more lively when more people arrive in the evening!”
“No, I need to train,” Zhushi Jiu refused.
“You know, to become a Black Soldier, one can’t be lazy in self-cultivation. At least, I don’t want to be eliminated during training,” Zhushi Jiu explained.
“Oh, I understand,” Wang Chong replied with an OK hand gesture.
However, Zhushi Jiu suddenly had a change of heart: “But rest and recreation are also important. How about this? You can come find me at around 7 or 8 pm. By then, I’ll probably have finished my training, and you can prepare some food for me.”
Wang Chong enthusiastically agreed: “No problem! I’ll take care of it! Do you have any dietary restrictions, Brother Zhushi?”
“I can eat anything, as long as it’s high in nutrients, such as protein-rich beef,” Zhushi Jiu replied.
“Okay, I’ll prepare a big feast for you tonight!” Wang Chong promised.
…
After being sent to his room, Zhushi Jiu asked the two Black Soldiers behind him: “What did Xu Feng tell you? Why is Wang Chong in charge of planning this escort mission?”
One of the Black Soldiers replied, “I don’t know.”
The other Black Soldier added, “Our mission is to escort you to the Isle of Ilyria. Anything else is none of our concern.”
“You didn’t even ask Xu Feng about this plan? It’s not right; he wouldn’t just let things go. I suggest you contact him,” Zhushi Jiu said.
“Yes, he wouldn’t just let things go, but since he’s chosen to do so, he must have his reasons,” the Black Soldier replied coldly. “Our orders are to only contact him if something unpredictable happens during the journey. Otherwise, we need to remain silent.”
“Is that so…?” Zhushi Jiu was suspicious of Xu Feng’s actions, but he needed to communicate with Xu Feng face-to-face to understand his intentions.
Zhushi Jiu prepared to die and then looked at the two Black Soldiers: “Let’s spar.”
Even if he was going to die, he still wanted to train himself to the limit and gather more information.
So, just like last week, the room was filled with the sound of intense fighting.
…
At 8 pm, Wang Chong arrived at Zhushi Jiu’s room, knocking on the door. “Brother Zhushi, are you ready to eat? I’ve already ordered a big meal.”
Zhushi Jiu, who was breathing heavily, appeared in front of Wang Chong. “Yeah, let’s eat…”
Wang Chong was about to smile, but his eyes widened in shock. The room was filled with a hot, wet atmosphere, and Zhushi Jiu’s body was emitting intense heat.
Zhushi Jiu’s shirtless upper body revealed a frail and scrawny physique, as if he hadn’t eaten for seven days. Wang Chong’s two bodyguards instinctively took a step back, their eyes fixed on Zhushi Jiu.
This was a completely different state from what they had seen in the morning. Zhushi Jiu was now exuding a powerful, animalistic aura, making Wang Chong feel that he was staring at a beast ready to pounce.
Zhushi Jiu explained with a faint smile: “It’s normal. Consuming a lot of fat in a short period will cause this.”
Wang Chong was stunned, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Zhushi Jiu went to take a shower, and when he emerged, Wang Chong noticed that the room was in a mess, with water splashing everywhere.
“This, this, this…!” Wang Chong stuttered, his eyes fixed on the room’s catastrophic state.
Zhushi Jiu explained with a smile: “I just drank a lot of water and exercised a bit.”
Wang Chong’s face turned pale as he realized that Zhushi Jiu was not joking. He felt like he was staring at a monster, and his instincts were screaming at him to flee.
The two Black Soldiers in the corner were also panting heavily, their auras even more intimidating than Zhushi Jiu’s.
Wang Chong felt his heart racing, his soul trembling with fear.
Zhushi Jiu shouted to the two Black Soldiers, “Hey, you two, relax.”
The two Black Soldiers slowly calmed down, but Wang Chong and his bodyguards were still frozen in shock.
As Wang Chong watched Zhushi Jiu walk towards him, he felt like he was staring at a demon from hell.
