Chapter 527: Duke of Death
Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.
Xiao Shun now deeply understood the beauty in this saying. Anyway, he didn’t have to cook for himself!
Of course, Xiao Shun had let Long San’s mother not have to work so hard like this. At worst, he could hire a nanny. But the old lady refused no matter what.
Regarding this, he could only express regret.
After rubbing Hu’s cute little head, Xiao Shun asked, “Mrs. Long, where is Yao Cen?”
“She rushed out early in the morning.”
Long San’s mother smiled and served a bowl of porridge, placing it in front of Xiao Shun.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Xiao Shun smiled and thanked her. He guessed Yao Cen must have gone to the company.
Because a large amount of filth was splashed on Starline Bio yesterday, the company was forced to close for a day. There must be countless pending tasks piled up today, which led to Yao Cen rushing out without even having breakfast.
As a lazy boss, office work was of course not within Xiao Shun’s job scope. He was not boss material himself.
When it came to fighting and killing, he could absolutely be considered a business expert. If he had to bury his head in paperwork, he would rather die a happy death.
Alas, lazy people!
After breakfast, Xiao Shun played with Hu for a while before fleeing from the little girl’s counterattack.
He, who was driven out by Hu, first called Duan Jia.
“Duan, where are you?”
“Sleeping. I drank too much last night.” The hoarse voice on the phone answered.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun curled his lips. For this alcoholic, how could he not drink excessively at night?
After silently complaining for a while, he deliberately aroused curiosity and said, “Don’t sleep anymore, I have something good for you.”
Immediately, Duan Jia became spirited and eagerly asked, “Did you get good wine from somewhere again?”
To him, only fine wine could be called a “good thing.”
“Can you have some ambition?” Xiao Shun scolded angrily.
Duan Jia was overjoyed. To express his high degree of attention to this matter, he instantly raised his expectations and said excitedly, “Could it be vintage wine?”
“Do you want me to spit Coke and kill you? Is it vintage?”
Xiao Shun viciously squeezed the Coke bottle, instantly wanting to hack this bastard to death along the signal!
After being irritated educating the alcoholic for a while, Xiao Shun also agreed on a meeting place with him.
Half an hour later, in a Starbucks in the downtown area.
“Why did you call me out so early in the morning?”
Yawning, Duan Jia looked at Xiao Shun somewhat listlessly. Then he picked up the extra strong coffee in front of him and took a big mouthful.
Last night at the bar, he met a kindred spirit. The two hit it off immediately and started a drinking competition on the spot. They drank until they saw stars!
“Here.”
Xiao Shun glared at him, then slid a wooden box over.
Duan Jia took the box and curiously took a look but did not open it. Instead, he asked, “What is it?”
Xiao Shun smiled slightly. “See for yourself.”
After suspiciously sizing up Xiao Shun several times, Duan Jia slowly opened the box.
A golden light almost blinded him.
Looking at the golden dagger lying in the box, Duan Jia was shocked.
“This is…”
Xiao Shun lightly took a puff of cigarette and explained, “This is a dagger forged from gold spirit stone, extremely sharp!”
Reluctantly retracting his gaze from the dagger, Duan Jia murmured, “Gold spirit stone?”
Obviously, like Zhu Que, he was completely unaware of this rare material.
So Xiao Shun helplessly repeated the explanation he gave Zhu Que. Duan Jia listened with a dazed expression.
Duan Jia quietly asked, “Can this dagger also break through a cultivator’s protective qi?”
“Chopping vegetables, nothing more!” Xiao Shun smiled.
To Duan Jia, his casual words were no less than earth-shattering!
As a cultivator, Duan Jia knew how powerful the protective qi was. Even some firearms often couldn’t penetrate it.
But this shining golden dagger could break through a cultivator’s invincible defense. This was simply shocking.
Seeing the brighter and brighter light in Duan Jia’s eyes, Xiao Shun reminded, “Don’t get too excited too early. What I said about chopping vegetables only applies to opponents whose cultivation is similar to yours. As for those stronger than you, I suggest you retreat if you can’t win. Don’t be reckless!”
Upon hearing this, Duan Jia nodded happily, “This is already enough. After all, when carrying out tasks in the past, no matter if it was an opponent with similar cultivation to mine or lower, the first thing I had to consider was how to break through the opponent’s protective qi!”
Indeed, when making a move, the first thing cultivators had to consider was not how to win, but how to break through the opponent’s qi which was like a tortoise shell.
If they could find a quick way to break it, they could increase the chance of winning.
Then, Xiao Shun also mentioned spirit pattern engraving to Duan Jia, but only touched on it briefly without in-depth discussion.
Duan Jia also showed great interest in this, but since Xiao Shun didn’t elaborate, he didn’t continue asking either. Instead, he lovingly fiddled with the all-gold dagger.
Just as Xiao Shun was about to get up and leave, Duan Jia suddenly mentioned a piece of news he had recently received.
“Yesterday I heard an interesting piece of intelligence. Caesars’ top assassin Louis will take a flight to this country soon. He should have arrived by now.”
Xiao Shun shrugged. “What does that have to do with me?”
Duan Jia smiled meaningfully, then looked at Xiao Shun with interest.
“At that time, I thought the same as you, but when I learned from my friend this top assassin’s destination and his relationship with Tan Haohan, I changed my mind!”
“Oh?”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun frowned, sat back down in his chair, and stared motionless at Duan Jia, waiting for the following.
“This man known as the Duke of Hell is coming to this country for the purpose of Harrow. As for his relationship with Tan Haohan, I guess you can figure out something from it, right?”
After speaking, Duan Jia’s expression was no longer smiling and carefree, but had become extremely solemn.
His intelligence was absolutely reliable.
After all, as the former world-famous king of bodyguards, his adversaries were those assassins lurking in the shadows. Naturally he had special channels to investigate their movements!
“Duke of Hell?” Xiao Shun sneered as he flicked some ash off his cigarette. “Interesting!”
Seeing Xiao Shun’s somewhat dismissive reaction, Duan Jia shook his head helplessly.
It seemed this guy still didn’t know about the many horrifying feats of that fierce man!
