Chapter 191: You Come Along Too

~7 min read 1,233 words

"You little brat, you heard what I just said, didn't you? I've told you before that what you're doing isn't very meaningful; it will only get you into danger."

The Old Man walked in, closing the door as he scolded the short‑haired woman.

But anyone who isn't blind can see the indulgent love in his eyes.

"Grandpa…"

The short‑haired woman glared at him, her temper flaring.

She was a completely different person from before.

The three middle‑aged men beside them were also snickering.

Only Jiang Cheng, whether he draws his gun or not, both are wrong.

"Kid, I know you have a little toy on you, so here's a piece of advice: you'd better not touch it. I'm not afraid of that thing, but my granddaughter is a different matter."

The Old Man narrowed his eyes and glanced at Jiang Cheng.

"Kid, you'd better listen to Qin Lao; that old man is a Force Master," the middle‑aged man added.

Because deep down he also agreed with what Jiang Cheng had just said.

If Jiang Cheng acts blindly and impulsively, the consequences would indeed be terrible.

"Force Master…"

Jiang Cheng inhaled a cold breath.

A sudden surge of luck rose in his heart.

If he hadn't come this time, but instead came at night with Qiu Feng, what would the outcome be?

"Senior, you've misunderstood; I didn't mean that."

Jiang Cheng forced a bitter smile and quickly said.

He knew in his heart that the identities of the people before him were probably not simple.

Especially that short‑haired woman.

It should be noted that even the Dawn Society has no Grandmaster.

"It's better that there isn't."

The Old Man said this while finding a chair and sitting down.

"Xiao Yu, aren't you going to give Grandpa a shoulder rub?"

"Got it."

Qin Yu walked over, looking very obedient.

The Old Man showed a face of enjoyment, and after a while, he slowly spoke.

"Let me guess, you're the mastermind behind it, the assassin sent to deal with my granddaughter, right?"

"What!"

Upon hearing this, several people in the room turned their gazes to Jiang Cheng, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Is this person an assassin? Or someone who came to kill them? But if so, why did he just now say so much to them? "If I say I'm not, would you believe me, senior?" Jiang Cheng said awkwardly.

"What do you think?"

The Old Man let out a cold snort.

"If it weren't for the fact that you showed restraint earlier and saved face with those words, do you think you could still be standing here talking to me now?"

"Yes."

Jiang Cheng was silent for a moment, then honestly admitted.

"Take off the mask to speak; it's uncomfortable to look like this."

Jiang Cheng, helpless, removed his mask.

"!"

The few people were all startled.

Especially the middle‑aged man.

He never imagined that the one who defeated him could be so young! "Quite young indeed, what level Force Warrior are you?"

Jiang Cheng glanced at them and said, "Level Three."

"Three, Level Three?"

The people present were completely stunned.

Especially the middle‑aged man.

He is forty years old and only a Level One Force Warrior.

The person before him looks not even twenty, yet already Level Three? Qin Yu's face showed surprise, but then turned to resentment.

It's just Level Three, right? Give her some more time and she could make it too.

"What a talent!"

The Old Man nodded slightly. "An organization capable of cultivating such talent wouldn't be obscure; tell me, who sent you?"

Jiang Cheng hesitated repeatedly, then said, "Dawn Society."

After all, against such absolute overwhelming power, resistance is futile.

But the current situation is already much better than when he came at night.

"Dawn Society?"

"Which resistance organization?"

"It's not a resistance organization, is it? I heard it's now an Assassin Organization, and its members all wear golden masks."

"Why isn't he wearing one?"

"It's the Dawn Society."

The old man muttered, a complex expression appearing on his face, then looked at Jiang Cheng. "Since you're the assassin sent by the Dawn Society, why didn't you strike directly when you came? Why give them a warning instead?"

Jiang Cheng gave a wry smile.

If it were possible, he really shouldn't have taken this mission,

"Senior, I also received a task from the Society; as usual, I first gathered information, and learned that you differ from the surrounding gangs, so I came to give you a warning."

"Oh? Aren't you afraid the mission might fail?"

Jiang Cheng realized this was a giveaway question and hurriedly said, "It's just a mission; if I fail, I'll go back and accept punishment. What worries me is that after I return, the Society will send someone stronger than me, and then your granddaughter will be in danger. Of course, perhaps I'm overthinking; with you here, even if our leader shows up, it would be asking for trouble."

"Friend, I didn't expect you to be such a loyal and righteous person."

The middle‑aged man sighed deeply upon hearing that.

"You staying in the Dawn Society is truly a waste of talent."

"Indeed, why don't you…" The woman beside them began, then quickly stopped.

Qin Yu's eyes also showed a hint of emotion.

"Hmm."

The old man's gaze softened as well.

"I can tell you're speaking honestly, but I don't like owing anyone a favor. So, since you can't avoid punishment when you return, why not join us directly?"

"Who are you?"

"Rebel Army, have you heard of us?"

"Rebel Army?"

Jiang Cheng was stunned.

"Surprised?"

A smug smile appeared on the old man's face.

Jiang Cheng nodded.

He never imagined that merely coming to the Poor District to carry out a mission would lead him to encounter the legendary Rebel Army.

However, according to Ye Ying and Bing Li, the Rebel Army outside holds an antagonistic attitude toward the people inside the city.

Yet, judging from these people in front of him, it seems not to be the case.

"Being surprised is exactly right."

The old man laughed heartily, "Actually, I didn't really want to come here, but Xiao Yu insisted on seeing it. After seeing it, they said they couldn't bear to leave the people here and wanted to help them. As for what comes next, you already know. Xiao Yu, what do you think of grandpa's words?"

"Isn't grandpa here with us?"

Qin Yu deliberately glanced at Jiang Cheng and said, "Don't say it's just Level Three; even Ninth Level or Level 10 wouldn't be your match?"

"You brat, do you really think your grandpa is invincible across the world?"

The old man was at a loss, both laughing and crying.

"If we were truly that powerful, we wouldn't still be forced to hide in the mountains."

"Grandpa."

"Enough."

The old man cut her off, "It's been two or three months since I brought you out this time. If you don't return soon, the people at the Base will start worrying, and I've already given you a taste of being a Gang Leader; you must not make any more requests."

Qin Yu pursed his lips.

"Oh, by the way, you kid, come walk with us as well."

The old man pointed at Jiang Cheng.

"Me?"

Jiang Cheng was taken aback.

The others in the room were also stunned.
