The day after, morning timeā
God Wang Tower was already buzzing with people.
Tong Anāan was greatly frustrated after seeing how his men disguised themselves. Their getup was simple; they took off their black robes, revealing their muscular arms and bald heads.
Tong Anāan glared at them and said, āThis is your disguise? Were you guys playing Mahjong last night again?ā
āUhh, we only played a few rounds!ā mumbled one of the men.
āHow dare you lie to me? I heard the Mahjong racket all night, yet you tell me you only played a few rounds? Havenāt I told you already? Mahjong is what Wang Ke used to corrupt our demonic sect, yet you are still playing!ā Tong Anāan stared at them furiously.
Tong Anāan kept on grilling them with questions. āI asked you guys to disguise yourselves, and all you did was shave yourselves bald? And dress like coolies?ā
āOur faces are usually covered with the iniquity black Qi weāve accumulated from consuming humans. Few know our faces; no one would recognize us even if we show our faces. Besides, we really havenāt disguised ourselves before! We thought long and hard before the idea of shaving bald popped up!ā one of them replied.
Still, Tong Anāan rebuked him, āBut the thing is, you have no abstinence scars on your foreheads! No one will see you as monks. Ten baldies are more conspicuous than people dressed in black! What the hell are you guys thinking?ā
The ten looked at each other in dismay. Indeed, everyone in the crowd had black hair; they were the only bald ones. They would stand out like needles poking everyoneās eyes.
āAlso, didnāt I order you guys to buy me a black coat? What is this you bought? Pink? Why! What went through your heads? Me? Wearing pink?ā Tong Anāan stared at one of his subordinates dead in the eye.
āIt was too late last night, and the lightning wasnāt good. The tailor only had this coat ready when I went to see him! It was actually ordered by a Heavenly Wolf Sect disciple; I had to pay at a premium so I could get it!ā That demon answered.
āCouldnāt you check out more shops?ā Tong Anāan asked.
āI did! But I didnāt find anything else!ā His subordinate replied.
Tong Anāan: āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦!ā
Bullsh*t. Iām sure you just half-a**ed the task so you could rush back to play Mahjong!
āChapter Lord, thereās a ruckus coming from the God Wang Company; I think theyāre about to start! Itās too late to buy a different coat!ā said another subordinate.
Tong Anāan: āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦!ā
While looking at his ten followers, Tong Anāan tried his best to suppress his surging blood pressure.
āFine! You, bunch of baldies! Make sure you split up and infiltrate the ceremony. Donāt walk in together! Weāre already eye-catching as it is! Split up. You mustnāt be seen together unless I say so!ā Tong Anāan ordered.
āUnderstood!ā the ten bald heads replied.
The leaderās face twitched unstoppably for quite a while as he looked at the sexy lady robe in his hand; he finally swallowed his rage and wore the thing.
Tong Anāan was a portly fellow. His fleshy figure was clearly outlined after putting on the petite robe, making him look rather strange. Fortunately, the robe had a big hood, so he used it to keep his face hidden.
The group of eleven dispersed and headed toward God Wang Towerās square.
The place was just outside the tower, where people continued to gather. Disciples of dozens of immortal sects from all across the Ten-thousand Great Mountains made an appearance; each sect had sent dozens of representatives. Close to three thousand people had already gathered for the event.
Tong Anāan and ten bald men entered the square and sneaked into the crowd.
They encountered some Heavenly Wolf Sect disciples along the way, who shuddered and turned away at the sight of Tong Anāanās extravagant robe and plump figure.
āEldest apprentice-brother, we didnāt notice anyone with Tong Anāanās description!ā a junior disciple reported to Murong Luguang.
āSearch! Continue searching! Even if he disguised himself, his body remains the same! How many fat people can there be? Search all of them! You must walk up close to each fat man you see and check them!ā Murong Luguang ordered.
All the fat men attending immediately received attention from Murong Luguangās subordinates; all except Tong Anāan, who was dressed as a āpink lady.ā
Meanwhile, inside one of God Wang Towerās guest roomsā
Zhang Liāer held onto a blueprint of God Wang Tower.
āAnd youāve explored each place?ā she asked in a deep voice.
āSis, rest assured. Weāve explored every corner of this construction, except for the top floor. Wang Keās office must be there; weāve checked all other places!ā Zhang Shenxu patted his chest and assured his sister.
āWang Keās office?ā Zhang Liāer muttered with a frown.
āThatās right. Thatās Wang Keās study room; I really donāt understand why they called it āofficeā; itās such a weird name! āNo entry!ā Also, there were enchanted artifacts installed to conceal auras and sound from the inside. Curtains were drawn to block off all the light! Thatās the only place we didnāt go to. Wang Ke enters his office every time he comes here! Thatās the most mysterious place of all!ā Zhang Shenxu explained.
āOh?ā Zhang Liāer narrowed her eyes.
The top floor? Wang Keās office? With spell arrays to insulate sound and light? Thatās a good place! Itās my dream location to take his money!
āHahaha, well done! Play along when the time comes!ā Zhang Liāer said.
āSis, rest assured; we will listen to you!ā Zhang Shenxu patted his chest.
āHmm, itās about time. Letās go! We shall cut ribbons for Wang Ke first, and then he will help me become rich. Hahaha!ā Zhang Liāer laughed heartily.
Heavenly Wolf Sect. Sword-study Peak!
āWang Ke, almost all the guests are here. Why are you still taking your sweet time!ā Zhang Zhengdao urged as he walked toward the man of the hour.
āWhatās the hurry? Iāve already ordered my men to set up a buffet meal outside the tower. The time is not yet ripe,ā said Wang Ke as he sprayed styling lotion on his hair while standing in front of a mirror.
āYou donāt feel rushed, thatās all right. The thing is, how will you wrap up the event? Today is your companyās inauguration, but your store is empty! Thereās nothing to sell!ā Zhang Zhengdao asked in frustration.
Zhang Zhengdao had yet to learn about the āproductā that Wang Ke was talking about. Are you going to sell farts in your shop? Did you make it so grand just to invite disciples from all over just for a meal, play, and make merry?
āThe product has already been designed! Donāt worry; weāll surely strike it rich today! You actually managed to get lots of people; your commission will be hefty, beyond your expectations!ā Wang Ke said confidently.
āProduct? Whereās the product? Where? Am I blind or what? Why donāt I see anything?ā Zhang Zhengdao was confused.
āYou will know in a bit. Okay, time to go!ā said Wang Ke as he combed his hair.
