Shi Lang was not joking when he threatened the man in front of him. Watching the man not reacting he picked up a knife and walked forward, then he stabbed the knife right above the temple of the man. The warehouse echoed with a loud scream. The supraorbital nerve transmitted a highly painful sensation in the man’s brain.

The knife was left stuck in the temple and Shi Lang had no expression on his face after all this. The four operatives that Darcx had called over shivered when they heard the voice. Shi Lang then picked up a clipping tool from the side table and clipped the other Supraorbital Nerve with it.

The man cried louder, and Shi Lang tilted the chair backward slightly and opened a tap on the container slightly. He said, “I hope you can hold on for six hours. Do not worry, I have all the time in the world.”

A drop of water fell from the tap and landed on the man’s forehead. Darcx asked, “Boss, what will this drop of water do?”

Shi Lang smiled under the mask and said, “The inflictions earlier will stimulate his nerves, and now when this drop of water falls on his brain it will feel like a rubber bullet hitting him. This pain will accumulate and slowly his skull will fracture which will be followed by his brain turning mushy.”

Darcx and the other four shivered at this. They did not expect the Young General to be so candid about something so terrifying. Suddenly one of the operators said, “Sir, the target has arrived at the location.”

Shi Lang smiled and said, “I will go and check the situation. You all stay here and stay away from this guy till I come back, even if he screams or begs you all.”

The people nodded and Shi Lang left the place. Darcx initiated a sound barrier and began to supervise the people to look into the history of this man and find any common links with the syndicate to speculate the reason behind why he was doing this.

…

Shi Lang on the other hand rushed to Elton Square and this time he made sure to change his appearance. As a cultivator of the Primordial Soul realm, Shi Lang was able to use his spirit energy to slightly change his facial features and also manipulate his physical stature. Even if his mother stood in front of him, she will not be able to recognize him, let alone some computer system or hidden pair of eyes.

Although nothing in the fifty-kilometer radius could hide from his spirit sense, he still gave the enemy side, the benefit of doubt. Soon he arrived at the location and found Red Widow standing in a conspicuous corner. He smirked and went inside a street food joint nearby. As long as the person was within a hundred meters, he will be able to communicate with ease. This was a weakness of the prowess but not everyone knew this.

He stood in front of the counter and ordered, “I would like to have thirty of your large hamburgers, thirty carbonated colas, and thirty crimson velvet pastries.”

The guy behind the counter said, “That will be seven hundred credits, sir. Also, can I ask you to wait for a few minutes? It will take some time to prepare this order.”

Shi Lang nodded and came to sit at the side after ordering the food. Then he found an empty seat and began to browse through the internet on his communicator. He said, “Have you been here for long?”, in his mind.

…

Outside the shop, Red Widow suddenly went stiff when she heard the familiar voice in her head. She frantically began to look around and asked, “Where are you? Why don’t you come in front of me?”

Shi Lang chuckled and replied, “So that you could control my mind? Well, I do not mind coming in front of you, however, the result will be your death.”

The calm and confidence in his voice shocked the lady. She calmed herself and asked, “Why are you against the Syndicate, what wrong have we done?”

Shi Lang replied, “Do you know that your syndicate is forcing people to excel in their cultivation base by feeding them defective gene serum? Do you know what happens when people have defective genes? Let me show you.”

Then Shi Lang projected the images of children with various deficiencies and how their lives would look in her mind. The woman experienced disgust, shame, pity, sadness, and regret. Shi Lang was manipulating but what he showed her was the truth. People with defective genes became careers to incurable physical or mental deficiencies in future generations.

The future generation was going to be the pillar of the Empire, but if they were ruined before they were born, what will the consequence be? Shi Lang did not give her the time to think much and said, “Do you think just because you have someone on the inside of the government, you will be able to walk away from all this freely? I will have that person and your head mull over in the mud like worms.”

His statement was filled with a dominance that Red Widow has never seen before. She was confused and afraid, then she asked, “What you showed me is the truth?”

Shi Lang replied indifferently, “You are not significant enough to have me lie to you yet.”

Red Widow did not reply, she was still thinking about what can be done or not. But Shi Lang was not going to give her a chance and said, “You have been afraid of death, that means you have someone or something to be responsible for. I can tell you that if you helped me, not only will you be able to walk away freely, I will assure your security and also you will reach a level where you would be able to stand on the peak of this world.”

Red Widow wavered and asked, “What do I need to do?”

Shi Lang smiled and said, “What do you know about the other Syndicate top brass?”

Red Widow knew this guy would ask something important but not something that will give them such a big blow. She replied, “How can I trust you?”

Shi Lang said, “What I am about to tell you next is a cultivation method, go back home and chant this sutra while meditating. You will notice the difference in two days most. Come to find me here at the same time if you feel the difference. What I have given you is the first half of the sutra, if you did not learn the second half, you will transform into an ice statue.”

The lady was surprised and memorized the sutra Shi Lang stuffed in her brain before she even had the chance to react. The knowledge was imparted by a higher-level technique of spiritual imprint. After this was done, Shi Lang ignored the lady and went to collect his order.

Suddenly he heard a message that he had to react to, Red Widow said, “Do you really think that the syndicate has no backup?”

Shi Lang replied, “Even if the syndicate is backed by the god of heavens, I will kill my way to destroy it.”

Then he collected the food and left the place. He only changed his appearance when he appeared in front of the hotel. The students had returned from the first match they had in the competition and they were surprised to see the teacher walking over with loaded parcels of food.

Shi Lang asked, “How was the result?”

Theseus said, “Teacher they tried to gang up on the first stage, but we fought well together. So the first round is cleared.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “We will talk about the next round later, but you guys eat these first.”

pan-d a-n0vel.com Theseus asked, “Teacher, are you really busy?”

Shi Lang nodded and told him briefly about his situation and asked them to keep it under wraps. Then he went around to catch up with his family for a bit. Shi Tao had been upset because of his absence so he had to make it up to her.

In the evening, Darcx contacted him saying that the person had given up a lot of information voluntarily. Shi Lang told him that he was coming back in a few before leaving the pouting child behind with Amelia.

The young woman knew his mission was serious and thus she supported him silently like always, and Shi Lang was gratified because of this but he could not say much at this time. He came back to the warehouse and found the people standing around the sound isolation barrier looking at the man inside with pale expressions.

Shi Lang said, “Did he confess whom he worked for?”

Darcx shook his head and Shi Lang directly took out his hand gun and shot the man right through his shoulder, and then after closing the tap he asked, “Old man, tell me, what you know.”
