Chapter 236: Be Prepared, Onward to the Capital

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

This kangaroo was incredibly strong.

Even Dumby would have had difficulties fighting against it if Dumby didn’t use his Blood-Thread Heart, an ability that would deal 1,000 in damage to the enemy and 800 in damage to himself.

Getting into a melee battle while possessing a sixth sense was too much of an advantage.

It would be able to predict every move its opponents would make. How would it be possible to fight against it?

The only way to win would be to move faster than its sixth sense or to use an ability that suppressed the effects of the sixth sense.

When Ji Hanwu looked at Zhao Guangyi, who was lying on the floor, he sighed and said, “What am I going to do with you?”

Zhao Guangyi trembled, not daring to speak.

“I was the one who helped you pay off your father’s three million dollar gambling debt, right?” Ji Hanwu said softly.

“Yes...” Zhao Guangyi lowered his head even more.

“I’ve given you a fair salary, and I trained you as one of my trusted aides. However, you’ve greatly disappointed me.” Ji Hanwu spoke very calmly.

Zhao Guangyi didn’t dare to speak.

“Sigh.” Ji Hanwu stared at Zhao Guangyi and slowly said, “Do you know what I hate most? It’s understandable if you wanted to leave. You could’ve gone anywhere you wanted, and I wouldn’t have bothered you. But you shouldn’t have taken those documents. That was your mistake.”

“Chairman Ji, please give me another chance.” Zhao Guangyi bowed towards Ji Hanwu.

“Little Peng, if it were you, how would you handle this?” Ji Hanwu turned around and asked Gao Peng, who was next to him.

Gao Peng hadn’t expected Grandpa to suddenly ask for his opinion. Gao Peng lowered his head and exchanged a glance with Zhao Guangyi.

Xu Qingzhi and Xu Heti both looked at Gao Peng. They were both curious as to what Gao Peng would say.

Gao Peng was silent for a while. He then muttered, “Make an example out of him.”

Zhao Guangyi’s face turned pale. He started to plead, “I was wrong. Please, Master Gao, Chairman Ji, I’ve worked for many years with the Southern Sky Group. I have given my blood, sweat, and tears for this company.”

Xu Heti felt a bit surprised. He hadn’t expected Gao Peng to act so firmly. He had thought that Gao Peng would tell him to go easy on Zhao Guangyi.

Gao Peng let out a long sigh. He struggled with his thoughts, then made a final decision. It was wartime, after all. Desperate times called for desperate measures.

Since he had already said it, it was reasonable to elaborate, “Grandpa, we cannot set a bad precedent. If we forgive someone who betrayed the company, what would other people think? People would be lining up to betray the Southern Sky Group! Since they could just ask for forgiveness if they’re caught.” Gao Peng turned to look at Zhao Guangyi and then asked, “Department head Zhao, how old are you?”

Zhao Guangyi hid the grievances in his heart and said, “I have been in the Southern Sky Group for 18 years. I turn 40 this year.”

“40 years old... You’re already 40 years old. Why do you behave as if you were three? Choosing to do something without considering the consequences.”

Xu Qingzhi giggled. She realized that it might have been a bit inappropriate for the occasion, so she held back the laughter.

“It was a momentary mistake,” Zhao Guangyi pleaded.

Ji Hanwu didn’t even glance at Zhao Guangyi. He turned his gaze towards Gao Peng and gave a comment on his grandson’s opinion. “Good thinking. If we were living in a peaceful era, we would, of course, let the law take its course, but we’re living in a new world now.”

Ji Hanwu turned to look at Zhao Guangyi. “Since you’re old, I won’t take any actions against your family.”

When Zhao Guangyi heard this, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to escape death that day. He forced a bitter smile and said, “Thank you, Chairman Ji, for your mercy.”

Ji Hanwu waved his hands and indicated for Xu Heti to bring Zhao Guangyi downstairs. “Make sure there are no loose ends. If anyone asks, tell them it was an experiment gone wrong, and he, unfortunately, died at his post.”

...

As Gao Peng grew older, Ji Hanwu would let him grow familiar with the darker side of the company.

He didn’t want to raise his grandson to be sheltered.

The fog that surrounded the Southern Sky Group building faded, and the White Dragon went back into the lake.

When Gao Peng went to the lawn, he saw a spider buried in the dirt. Only a few of its legs were exposed.

“I’ll ask my White Dragon to go to the forest and catch a few monsters for you. Your little skeleton needs complete bodies in order to evolve faster, right? I’ll ask the White Dragon to find a few high-level monsters,” Ji Hanwu said slowly, walking beside Gao Peng.

“There’s no need to go to such trouble...” Gao Peng felt a bit uncomfortable with asking the White Dragon to go out of its way to do this for him.

Ji Hanwu shook his head. “It’s no trouble. It would be extremely glad if I asked it to go out. If it could, it would spend every day outside.”

“In that case...” Gao Peng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He hadn’t expected the White Dragon to have such a personality.

The White Dragon had already been promoted to the Emperor-tier. It was the most powerful monster in Yuzhou City and the surrounding areas. Even the Mountain Spirits had quieted down considerably.

With the slaughterhouse and the White Dragon catching food for it, Dumby’s evolution speed had really picked up. It was as if it had gotten on an elevator.

It was promoted to the Lord-tier on the four days later.

It was in the dead of night. Dumby’s head was drooping, when the Flame of the Undead in his eyes suddenly blazed, and the fire engulfed his entire body. Only a dark figure could be seen under the blaze. The original dark red color of the Blood-Thread Heart had turned a vivid shade of red, as red as blood. In the center of his chest, its heart was slowly moving up and down.

Some of its joints became finer and smalle, while a few new small bones had grown around his body. It was like a simple robot turning into something more complicated and sophisticated.

The flames suddenly vanished. The Flame of the Undead returned to its eye sockets, its red heart went back to normal, and the colors all become dull again.

[Monster Name]: Tyrant Skeleton

[Monster Level]: Level 41

[Monster Grade]: Epic

[Monster Skills]: Bone Harden Level 3, Control of the Undead Level 2

[Special Characteristics]: Heart of the Bloodseeker (Effect 1, Passive Effect: It will use up energy from the Blood-Thread Heart to form the Heart of the Bloodseeker. When the Heart of the Bloodseeker is active, it’ll boost all the attributes of the Skull Ghoul Ape. When the Heart of the Bloodseeker is attacked, the passive ability will be removed. Effect 2: When activated, it will stabilize the functions of the heart, allowing it to beat steadily. It can be used to manipulate the speed of the heartbeat and the rate of blood flow.)

Flame of the Undead (Effect One, Active Effect: ...)

[Monster Weakness]: Holy Type Monsters

The Blood-Thread Heart had evolved into the Heart of the Bloodseeker. The effects didn’t really change. However, after spending more time with Dumby, Gao Peng realized that Dumby’s physical attributes had become two times stronger.

Gao Peng had also noticed it had an active ability to control the flow rate of its blood...

Controlling the blood flow rate. I should use that if I get the chance.

A Lord-tier, Epic-grade familiar. Gao Peng felt very confident. This year’s World Youth Trainer Championships are going to be a piece of cake.

Another day passed. It was a new day, and the sky was bright. Gao Peng had dressed up, and he went out with his familiars following beside him.

“I won’t see you out today. Be careful when you’re outside.” Ji Hanwu patted Gao Peng on his shoulder.

Gao Peng nodded to show he understood.

“Remember, as long as you still possess the general upper hand, a temporary loss or setback is harmless, “Ji Hanwu said again, feeling worried.

Gao Peng climbed into his vehicle and went to Yuzhou Airport. When he made it to the airport, he took a flight to the capital.

The first ever World Youth Trainer Championships would be held in the Huaxia Region’s capital.
