Chapter 581: Journey to the West
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When night came and Jiang Fei logged into the game. Jiang Fei told the girls what he was about to do. The other girls responded as expected but Isabella was the only one who acted oddly. He would be gone for a few days and she would be kept inside the black room. Even so, he had to do what he needed in the real world.
“It’s alright. I can understand your feelings. My only regret is not being able to go with you and help you with your trouble,” said Isabella. She could not blame Jiang Fei for the things that happened in his own world.
To compensate, Jiang Fei did not go anywhere but stayed with Isabella. The two were alone for the entire day until it was time to log out.
The next day, Jiang Fei bid farewell to his parents and told them that he would be staying over at his master’s quarters. Although it was the same one that he used, it was the most convincing as it was also the one that his parents felt was safest. The excuse he told Si Tuying was different. He told her that he would be leaving for North America for a super secretive business meeting. Understandingly, she believed it. Jiang Fei was going to North America for a business and it was too secretive to be told.
After everything with Si Tuying and his family was dealt with, Jiang Fei left Manda Square, took a cab to the outskirts of the city and headed west with the hoverboard.
Jiang Fei did not stop for rest and reached America in roughly ten hours. He contacted Shroder and asked for the specific location before changing into the Zhuge Shanzhen getup.
In no time at all, Jiang Fei arrived at where Shroder was with 500 pills in hand.
“Greetings,” said Jiang Fei in his Zhuge Shanzhen’s voice. As soon as Jiang Fei got closer to the warehouse, 0541 alerted Jiang Fei that there were countless of radar and scanners that were in range. Even so, none of the radar or scanner were targeted at him. It merely picked up Jiang Fei’s presence. There was no cause for alarm since the Mutant Brotherhood knew who he was and why he had come here. To pinpoint and lock onto a Level 5 master would be suicidal.
As Jiang Fei descended, a few men came out of the warehouse with Shroder in the lead.
“It is an honor to finally met the great Zhuge Shanzhen. I hope that your travel to the great west has been but smooth. This one is called Shroder. Perhaps, the great disciple Jiang Fei had mentioned about me before?” asked Shroder awkwardly in mandarin. When someone so profoundly prominent came all the way from China, one ought to learn a few mandarin words to show respect. Even though Shroder was misp.r.o.nouncing his words, he was still able to express his feelings properly.
“Ahh. Shroder. Little Fei had mentioned you before,” said Jiang Fei.
“Please. Have a seat inside. I have prepared a few refreshments for the great master,” said Shroder as he led everyone into a room inside the warehouse. The room was decorated fully in an oriental style. Everything from the flowers, furniture, and even the refreshments were imported from China.
“Have you prepared the minerals?” asked Jiang Fei after he had drank a cup of tea.
“Yes. The great master would be pleased to know that everything is packed and ready to be s.h.i.+pped. This one wants to know if the disciple of the great one is here?” asked Shroder.
“Yes. He is indeed. However, I have sent him to the city for a while before I am finished with this matter. The little one is not strong enough to handle the high amount of radiation.”
“I understand.”
Shroder was the same level as Jiang Fei, the beginning stage of Level 4. He too could not handle that level of radiation without proper equipment.
“I am a busy man. If the minerals are ready, let’s carry on with the business.”
“As the great one wishes so. If you would follow me,” said Shroder as he got up and led Jiang Fei to another room.
Similar to Jiang Fei’s previous transaction with the Europe Church, the others took their time to change into the hazmat suits and after several protection chambers and doors, they arrived at the deepest part of the warehouse with many wooden crates arranged neatly.
“Great one, here they are.”
“0541, calculate the quant.i.ties,” said Jiang Fei mentally.
“5,100 tonnes. All of the highest quality,” said 0541 in a blink of an eye.
“Well done. I am pleased with the quant.i.ty and quality,” said Jiang Fei.
As expected of the Mutant Brotherhood. They had better men compared to the European Church. Not only did they prepared such a large amount of Uranium in such a short time, they had also managed to procure the best Uranium instead of sc.r.a.ps. All 5,000 tonnes of Uranium had been refined to the best quality.
“It is an honor to serve the great one,” said Shroder. Like Kazas, no one left Jiang Fei alone as they intended to witness the power of a Level 5 master.
“Hoho…” Jiang Fei laughed and let 0541 to do the same thing he did back in Europe.
Whoos.h.!.+
Jiang Fei let out a bright rainbow light and did the same thing he did with Kazas. It was like dejavu, the reaction of Shroder and his men were exactly the same like Kazas and his men. All of them stared in awe as Jiang Fei performed the “light show”. This time, Jiang Fei made sure to perform it extra grand for Shroder and his men.
After twenty minutes, Jiang Fei reached out his right hand and let the ring absorb all the light. Once all the light was absorbed, all the Uranium that was in the warehouse turned into worthless chucks of carbon.
“This one is honored to witness the great one perform his magic!” cried Shroder when Jiang Fei was done.
“This are the pills that Jiang Fei had agreed to provide,” said Jiang Fei as he took out bottles of Spirit Pills.
Once the bottles were displayed to Shroder and his men, they immediately kneeled down.
“I thank the great one from the bottom of my heart!” cried Shroder.
“On your feet. I will be heading back now to meditate. Ahh. It seems that time did not do me a good favor. Little Fei will be contacting you shortly,” said Jiang Fei as he turned around and left to the sky with the giant sword.
“We cannot categorize Zhuge Shanzhen as a normal Level 5 anymore! Is it possible that he had broken through the realm of Level 6? This… this is too important. I need to inform the higher ups.”
Shroder was so scared of the possibility of a Level 6 Metahuman. Without wasting time, he left his men with the cleaning and headed for the headquarter.
Jiang Fei flew into the sea, not too far from land but far enough that the radar could no longer detect his presence. He then changed back into his original self and returned to land. He then took a cab and got to the city center.
Being a foreigner without proper clearance to enter the American soil, Jiang Fei dared not simply find a hotel to stay in. Hence, he called Shroder to arrange one for him.
“Not to worry, brother! I will send someone to pick you up!” said Shroder pa.s.sionately. He was unable to welcome Jiang Fei himself as he was too preoccupied with his report to the higher ups of the Mutant Brotherhood.
“Thanks a lot!” said Jiang Fei as he did not mind. Shroder’s reaction to Zhuge Shanzen’s unworldly “performance” was expected. He did not mind that Shroder did not have the time to welcome him, as long as there was safe accommodation.
In less than half an hour, a luxurious car came to pick him up and a group of men in black tuxedos and sungla.s.ses came to escort him. Before he could enter the car, a beautiful blonde woman came out from the front pa.s.senger’s seat.
“Are you Mr. Jiang Fei?” asked the blond woman.
