Chapter 591: Someone You Can’t Afford to Offend

After Ren Baqian had left, Yang Sen said to the two burly men in front of him, “The two of you will be leaving tomorrow morning. I will arrange rooms for you to rest in. Please keep me informed if you have any requests.”

Even if it wasn’t the first time he had met them, Yang Sen could still feel the sense of oppression they projected.

It wasn’t on account of their identity, but due to their physical strength.

Like ordinary people facing tigers or other wild animals at close range, the fear was always there.

However, Yang Sen concealed it very well, so it was indiscernible to others.

“Can I make a request?” Xiong Zhan glanced at Yang Sen who was sitting behind a desk.

“Yes, as long as I can deliver.” Yang Sen smiled. He hoped to build a good relationship with them, and although it seemed very difficult now, where there was a will, there was a way.

Xiong Zhan and Xiong Ying looked at each other, laughed, and declared “You are a good man!”

“Of course,” Yang Sen replied with a smile.

“Do you have women?” Xiong Zhan asked.

“What?” Yang Sen was momentarily stunned.

“Women! I haven’t seen one for more than a year!” Xiong Zhan said earnestly.

Yang Sen’s face blackened at his audacity.

“I really don’t have this!”

“You don’t even have this?!” Xiong Zhan and Xiong Ying were disappointed.

Yang Sen was disgusted. What did they take him for? A pimp? He was a public servant, no less!

“That white powder that makes you walk on air when you suck it in! Do you have it?” They looked eagerly at Yang Sen. This was how the other two idiots were fooled, and it turned out to be totally useless. They heard about this thing from Ding Jie and thought that they could show off if they were to taste it.

“I don’t have that either!” Yang Sen frowned. So far, they wanted women and drugs. What else did they want?

“You don’t have this either?” The two didn’t attempt to conceal their disdain. “You have neither this nor that—what else is there to request?”

Yang Sen was seething. Did he ask them to make such requests? Why couldn’t they make requests that were more normal? For example, requesting for good wine and food!

“Are good wine and meat available?” Xiong Zhan reduced his demands. He was prepared to go back if this request wasn’t granted.

“This is available.” Yang Sen heaved a sigh of relief. He had intended to build a relationship with these two and get some information from them in the future when it was opportune. He needed to shelve this idea for the time being.

After the two were taken away, Yang Sen decided to make a call and then waited in the office.

In the evening, a car stopped downstairs at the building of the Messier 87 department before three people, two male and a female, alighted.

One of the men was heavily built and had a squarish face. He wore traditional Chinese clothes and looked dignified.

The other man, on the contrary, was thin, had a wretched appearance, and looked more like a monkey than a human. However, he looked sharp and his eyes glittered.

The female looked plain, had a slightly raised chin, and was very haughty.

These three people were accompanied by a staffer to the office of Yang Sen.

“Minister Yang!” The three people saluted him properly.

“Bai Yuhe, Lei Gong, and Zhao Yu!” Yang Sen called out their names with a smile.

He knew the three of them very well, especially Bai Yuhe, who had worked hard for many years and found ways to break through the limits to reach the level of those experts in history. Unfortunately, Ren Baqian had released the secret manuals to the nation, which allowed a batch of people to reach the Man Wheel level.

This prodigy was almost like a Wang Zhongyang[1.Wang Zhongyang: a Chinese Daoist in the 12th century] who had just come out of seclusion and shouted, “I’m the world’s number one!” before immediately being crushed to death by a flying shoe.

Although Bai Yuhe wasn’t crushed to death, he wasn’t much better off. After spending so much effort, he assumed that he was already number one in the world, but upon coming out, he discovered that the streets were filled with people who were at the same level of power as him. This setback almost sent him back to farming.

Later on, he was employed by the nation because he was regarded as a talent for being able to study the classics on his own and deriving methods to break through the limits

After reading the secret manuals, he didn’t disappoint them and managed to increase his power in a short time. In addition, he derived many things from these manuals.

As of now, he was ranked as the best among that batch of martial artists.

As for the other two, who were less than 30 years old, their skills were among the top few, and they were highly regarded.

“I don’t know whether those at the top have explained to you, so I will tell you again. Please sit down. Aren’t you hoping to meet experts that are better than you? You have the chance now.”

The three people brightened up after hearing these words from Yang Sen.

“But don’t provoke them,” Yang Sen hastily added.

“Why?” Lin Yu asked with a smile. “Who on Earth are they? Surprisingly, they are even better than Big-head Bai. I would like to take a look. “Bai Yuhe didn’t get angry at being called Big-head Bai. Instead, he kept his cool and waited for Yang Sen to answer.

“These two come from the same place as your secret manuals.” Yang Sen warned, “Don’t provoke them as you aren’t on their level yet. Furthermore, their killing instinct is very strong, and they hold a special status. If you have any conflicts with them, it will be very hard for me to ensure your safety. It isn’t that I’m unable to protect you, but that I will not be in time to do so. Based on my observations, they are different from you. They are lawless and act without restraint. You will be dead before I can take action to protect you.”

“Are they that powerful?” Bai Yuhe asked in astonishment.

“They are more powerful than you think. Do you still remember how the different levels are classified? Man Wheel, Earth Wheel, and Spirit Wheel are the various divisions. The secret manuals are also classified this way. Under this classification, you are at the Man Wheel level, but these two are at the Earth Wheel level.”

“Are there really Earth Wheel experts?” Bai Yuhe asked solemnly.

“If not, where else would these secret manuals come from?” Yang Sen responded. Seeing their eagerness to ask more, he waved his hand and said, “Don’t ask so much. There will be opportunities in the future, when appropriate, for you to know. Remember, everything that’s related to them is kept a secret. Other than reporting to Superintendent Shen Ning and me, do not disclose this to others. Otherwise, you will be punished for the crime of divulging state secrets.”

The three were pensive after hearing this.

Yang Sen handed out three more books to them and said, “The issues you need to pay attention to for this mission are in there. Read it when you are at home. I will introduce you to them now.”

The three looked at each other with excitement.

“Remember not to provoke them, no matter what,” Yang Sen warned again. Among the three, Bai Yuhe was more reasonable, whereas Lei Gong and Zhao Yu were troublemakers. If they stirred up trouble in their own base, it would still be tolerable. Over here, however, it might result in death.

Yang Sen brought the three to a room somewhere in the building, opened the door, and discovered that the room was full of wine bottles. Inside, there was also a roast suckling pig that had been gnawed clean.

Two ferocious looking hunks were sitting in the room playing a finger-guessing game.

“Little, little bee! Flying among the flowers! Flying! Flying… Boom!”

In a flash, one person lashed out with his fist, causing the other to crash through a wall and into another room.

Then, the other person ran back as if nothing had happened and shook away the dust on his body before the both of them continued reciting, “Little, little bee! Flying among the flowers! Flying… Boom!”

This time, the other hunk was sent flying even further away.

The sound of a fist hitting a face was simply sickening.

The four people at the door stood shocked. On both sides of the room, the walls were long gone. Plus, the walls of the adjacent rooms were also cleanly demolished. They could see into three or four rooms.

Lei Gong and Zhao Yu initially had some ideas, but they immediately cleared these from their minds and repeatedly reminded themselves, Can’t afford to offend! Definitely not!
