Chapter 257 The Black Pot Falls from the Sky
Xiao Zhen successfully rescued everyone in the stronghold. As for these guys, he simply said that he was sent by the higher-ups.
Hearing that the higher-ups actually cared about them, the two great fighting masters and a group of small-time masters were extremely grateful, and they swore to the heavens that they would be loyal to the organization until death. But they didn't know how much of this was acting.
Not long after Xiao Zhen led these guys out of the stronghold, a large group of people lying on the ground woke up. They looked at each other, and it was the elder with the highest status who spoke first.
"What happened? Why are all of us..."
"Great Elder, it was that kid Gu He who did it, and he seems to have come to hate our Yunlan Sect!" Elder Yunqi said angrily.
Yun Leng narrowed his eyes and asked doubtfully, "That's impossible! Even if he could sneak attack and knock me out, he probably doesn't have the ability to defeat you two Dou Lings and so many great Dou Masters!"
Upon hearing their own battle records, everyone else couldn't help but lower their heads.
Finally, Yun Qi stood up and said through gritted teeth: "Great Elder, everything we said is true, it was really that Gu He who did it.
And I also suspect that Gu He has hidden his true cultivation level. He may have already reached Dou Wang, but it just broke out today and caught us off guard!"
Yun Leng was feeling irritated. Today had been a really bad day. He originally thought that he had caught a bunch of rats and could use them to lure out the mastermind, but he didn't expect those guys would rather die than surrender.
After that is Gu He, who is also the most troublesome. Looking at the huge Yunlan Sect, there is only Gu He, a fifth-rank alchemist. Now he is treated like a treasure and any materials are found for him. But now it seems that he has defected!
Gu He was refining the elixir in the secret room when the elixir furnace in front of him suddenly exploded. A burst of black smoke came out and Gu He sighed:
"What happened? Why did the furnace explode? What a pity! This furnace of fifth-grade pills is ruined!"
After Xiao Zhen returned to the Xiao family, he immediately ordered all strongholds to evacuate from the vicinity of the imperial capital and move to remote small towns on the border of the empire to build up a force.
Yun Yun must have been furious countless times during this period of time. Xiao Zhen was already angry enough and didn't want to provoke this crazy woman anymore, lest she really investigate and find out about it.
Of course, now that the book has been published, it must have a perfect ending, and I will never stop updating.
When Li Hua heard that he had to finish the book immediately, he felt very disappointed. After all, through communication with Xiao Yan during this period of time, he already had a lot of ideas in his mind, but now he had to abandon them.
After Xiao Zhen had played around, he began to formally build up his power, unlike before when he was just doing it for the sake of Hei Yunyun.
The current strength of the organization is too weak, so Xiao Zhen just lets them develop separately and find out some surrounding information by the way.
As the young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhen could naturally use the power of the Xiao family, but he still wanted a force of his own. As for the name, he just casually named it the Shadow Organization and ended it.
As a free-spirited person who didn't want to be constrained, Xiao Zhen became a hands-off boss as soon as he took office.
Xiao Zhen also needs to find an agent to manage the organization for him. He originally wanted to find Die, after all, she was a girl who almost became the queen. However, when he thought of her personality, he immediately rejected the idea. This guy is okay as a thug, but if he really has to take care of those messy things, he will probably quit immediately.
After some thought, Xiao Zhen quickly found Mitel Haoyu, the guy whose life he saved and who is also the biological father of Yafei, the important female supporting role in the future.
Mitel Haoyu, whose face was a little pale, heard that it was Xiao Zhen who was looking for him, and he met him without any hesitation.
As soon as they met, Xiao Zhen greeted him lightly.
"How is Manager Haoyu these days?"
Mitel Haoyu smiled slightly and said respectfully: "Thanks to you, Master Xiao Zhen, my life is temporarily saved!"
Xiao Zhen didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.
"Manager Haoyu, I have just established a power and I am in need of a person with management ability. I wonder if you are willing to help me!"
Hearing this, Mitel Haoyu narrowed his eyes. It was beyond his expectation that Young Master Xiao Zhen wanted to recruit him. He originally thought that he just wanted him to run errands or introduce some things.
Mitel Haoyu's status in the family has now recovered slightly because of his improved health, but it is still very limited.
Because everyone knew that Mitel Haoyu's injuries could not be healed so easily by just a fifth-grade pill.
Even if he managed to save his life temporarily, the top leaders of the Mittel family were not optimistic. A wounded nine-star master would only be able to maintain such a status unless he was lucky enough to break through to the Dou Ling realm.
If Mitel Haoyu wants to live longer, or even heal his injuries, he must have healing pills of grade five or above.
There is no hope on the family side. When Mitel Haoyu encounters Xiao Zhen's big ship, he naturally has to seize it. After all, who dares to say that he is not afraid of death?
"thump!"
Mitel Haoyu knelt down fiercely on his knees and said word by word:
"From today on, I, Miter Haoyu, am willing to serve Master Xiao Zhen!"
Xiao Zhen nodded with satisfaction. He was indeed a famous talent of the Mittle family. If that accident had not happened, he might have been able to replace the current Mittle Tengshan and become the new patriarch of the Mittle family.
"Get up first! There are only you and me here, there's no need to keep kneeling."
Seeing that Mitel Haoyu was very loyal, Xiao Zhen smiled. As for learning from the Three Kingdoms tactics and going up to support him and show respect to the wise, that was unnecessary.
After Miter Haoyu stood up, he looked around and asked cautiously, "I don't know, Master Xiao Zhen, what should I do next?"
According to Mitel Haoyu's guess, Xiao Zhen recruited him into his team because of his position as the manager of the Mitel family. It is very likely that he has his eyes on the family's wealth and wants to make secret plans.
Xiao Zhen didn't think as much as Mitel Haoyu. He just wanted to find someone who could manage things. As for coveting the Mitel family's property, Xiao Zhen really didn't have that idea.
The wealth of the Mittel family over the years is absolutely astonishing. I am afraid that even three or four Xiao families combined would not have as much as theirs.
Looking at the entire Jia Ma Empire, perhaps only the royal family and the Yun Lan Sect can compare with it.
Of course, above all there is Fa Ma. Xiao Zhen has every reason to believe that his teacher has been the president of the Alchemist Guild for decades, and the money in his hands is probably richer than the treasury of the entire Gama Empire.
Xiao Zhen said seriously: "If you don't have any urgent matters at hand, then you can resign from your current position as manager and take up the position in the organization!"
Mittel Haoyu: “???”
Seeing Mitel Haoyu's suddenly strange expression, Xiao Zhen asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Mitel Haoyu shook his head and asked in a low voice: "Master Xiao Zhen, aren't you going to attack the Mitel family?"
Xiao Zhen was also stunned for a moment, then he realized that Miter Haoyu had misunderstood, and immediately explained:
"You think too much. I'm not interested in the Mittel family's money. I came to you only because you do have some talent!"
Mitel Haoyu also blushed. He didn't expect that he had misunderstood the new boss's meaning.
