Armipotent

Chapter 135 - Youngʼun Concern

Tang Shaoyang took his battle-ax and put that forward.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

The bullets hit the ax, causing friction of sound that loud enough for everyone to hear. The shots were completely blocked by the battle-ax, and Yu Shun froze and was amazed as he witnessed this. Just like an old magic trick, the madman could conjure a weapon out of nowhere.

However, of course, as someone who had played video games to spend his time, he had a guess as to what ʼIt must be inventory,ʼ a quick guess but spot on.

”Inventory!” While Yu Shun guessed right, Yang Wen was aware of the Inventory Bagʼs existence. The Leader of the Flame Castle, Huo Shihong had the same inventory as well.

Realizing this, Yang Wen snapped out of his trance and immediately realized that he just offended someone he should not offend.

Behind the battle-ax, Tang Shaoyang grinned ear to ear. For some reason, he was getting excited about the prospect of killing the people from the Flame Castle. Since they were from a faction, that meant their faction would be a future obstacle for his empire. Killing them now would benefit him more than letting them go, securing a young potential general for his empire and clearing the future obstacle.

He wanted to try the bullet with his body, but then he noticed the movement around the bushes. His people had arrived fast, before he appeared he ordered Lu An to call his people. If he tried to receive the bullets with his body, he would surely get an earful from Zhang Mengyao for sure.

He could not do anything about that since his woman was concerned about him. Instead, it was a good sign as the girl truly fell for him so he did not worry about the girl betraying him in the future.

Tang Shaoyang was holding the itch of testing his body with the bullet. Before it was thunder and now it was a bullet, he was itching to try his investment in Vitality.

He was about to rush, but Lu An moved first before he could. The young man arrived next to Yang Wen without people noticing as they were shocked by the show Tang Shaoyang showed them.

Lu An easily disarmed Yang Wen with a slap to the hand. The handgun fell as Yang Wen looked at Lu An in shock. He was about to take action to defend himself but the opposite party was much faster than him.

Before Yang Wen could do anything or even moved his finger, Lu An punched the guy on the stomach that caused Yang Wen to bend his body forward in pain. The young was quick with his attack after the punch on the belly elbow followed to hit Yang Wenʼs back causing him to kneel with his knees. Not giving any chance for his opponent to make any move, Lu An stomped his right foot to the back, pinning Yang Wen down with his face kissing the hard ground.

The action was simply too fast, about five seconds, and the Captain of an elite team was subdued by the young man. Lu An then drew his sword out and placed it to the neck, ”Move! Your leader will be dead!” His voice was cold and his murderous gaze stunned the Flame Castle people.

After that, Zhang Mengyao and fifty people armed with armor and weapons surrounded the Flame Castle people. Without them realizing it, they were getting surrounded. Not expecting such a thing would happen, the Flame Castle panicked as they subconsciously drew their weapons out.

However, to their surprise, a beauty prevented her people from drawing their weapons. She just scanned the group with a frown on her forehead. She had noticed the presence of the military, she opened her mouth, ”Scram! Unless you want to fight against us!”

However, the twenty-nine people were not the ones to decide about that. Everyone looked toward their captain who was being pinned down on the ground, ”Do you want to leave or insist on fighting us?” Lu An sent a whisper to Yang Wen who was helpless to do anything with his situation.

”We will leave!” Yang Wenʼs answer with a single delay. His life was more important, to start with, this was to avenge an idiot who courted death. He did not have anything with this, not worth risking his life being outnumbered like this.

Lu An did not give his answer as he looked at his superior, Zhang Mengyao. He was waiting for her next instruction.

”You all, leave this place right now! Your leader will be released ten minutes after you leave this place!” She yelled at the people of the Flame Castle, she then pointed at the military group, ”You too!”

Under Yang Wenʼs consent, they left this place. Tang Shaoyang had a disgruntled look as he did not like her decision to let these people leave like that, ”Oh my dear, my beautiful general, why did you let them leave like that? We should kill them instead!” His words sent a shiver down to Yang Wenʼs spine.

”Letʼs talk after they leave,” Zhang Mengyao did not want the outsider to hear their conversation so she did not speak his mind. With a big grin, Tang Shaoyang approached and circled his hand on her waist, pulling her toward him, ”Yes, we will have a deep talk tonight! No one will disturb our conversation,”

She knew what he implied behind his words. Her face reddened slightly, but she did not rebuke or say anything about it. She seemed to be expecting this as well.

After a short and intimate conversation with Zhang Mengyao, he walked toward Yu Shun and Luo Lan, ”Now we can talk, not with your stinky zombies though,”

The four zombies stood in front of the couple, creating a line to protect their Master from the unknown threat.

Yu Shun looked toward the madman. Deep inside, he wanted to run away from these people. He did not like to have his life in anotherʼs hand. However, he imagined how the Flame Castle and The Tang Empire would chase him and his girlfriend ruled out the possibility of running away.

”Good, letʼs talk,” Yu Shun agreed to talk. He had to hear what the madman would offer to him.

Twenty minutes later, in one hut in the fortress, they just captured from the Orc Tribe, Tang Shaoyang sat face to face with Yu Shun and Luo Lan. Next to him, Zhang Mengyao smiled at the young man.

They had talked about the smart base and talent. Everything that Tang Shaoyang offered to him was too tempting to be refused. A home for the couple, a position in the army, and protection for them. On top of that, he also informed the young man about talent, the young did not have talent since he never entered a smart base before. The thing about talent almost made the young man agree on joining the empire instantly.

Of course, in return, Tang Shaoyang asked about Yu Shunʼs class and ability to control the zombies. He did not ask specifically about his class but the general how his class worked to know how they would position the young man later in the future.

However, he had one doubt, the young man honestly told them his concern about his girlfriend being a beauty. Yu Shun warned Tang Shaoyang to not touch his girlfriend. Thanks to this, his concern led to the quiet and a little bit of tense atmosphere.

However, soon a woman entered the hut. Yu Shun looked toward the entrance. A mature beauty that not less to his girlfriend entered. Soon he saw the beauty sitting next to Tang Shaoyang.

With a big laugh, Tang Shaoyang pulled Kang Xue and Zhang Mengyao into his embrace, ”Youngʼun! Your girlfriend is not the only beauty here,” he showed off about his two women to the young man who seemed to be a frog that lived in the well.

”You only have one and I have two! The world is vast, your girlfriend is not only the beautiful girl in this world! I am not that low to eye my subordinateʼs girlfriend!” Tang Shaoyang declared proudly as a big grin plastered on his face. That caused Zhang Mengyao and Kang Xueʼs face flushed red at his action.

”So, give me your answer, Youngʼun!”

”Deal! If you promised what you have told me, then I donʼt mind joining The Tang Empire!” Yu Shun felt silly over his concern but he continued with a stern tone, ”But I will leave the moment you fail to uphold one of your promises!”

Tang Shaoyang stood from his seat and tapped Yu Shunʼs shoulder, ”Welcome to The Empire!”
