Lu Xiao Tian entered his room at the crack of dawn to see Hwang Jin waiting for him "Big brother couldn't you have taken me with you if you were going out to have fun , hmm?"
"Who went out to have fun ha ? And if you're free, go out and deal with the aftermath , I'm going to sleep for some time ."saying this he headed to the washroom to freshen up .
"Hey brother , can't you at least confirm if I even know what needs to be done , and not just tell me to do it without any notice ?"
"If I had to do that , you would be considered incompetent and therefore no longer my assistant ."Lu Xiao Tian replied from the bathroom .
" Ha , should I be proud that I'm trusted or angry at you for overworking me , do you even know how hard it is to monitor your activities and the entire city at the same time ? You know right that I just awakened yesterday and have not even leveled up my skills even once ?"Even while complaining his hand continued packing the stuff he might need from the space bag Lu Xiao Tian threw at him .
But all that answered him was the sound of water running in the washroom . Seeing this he sighed one more time and leaped out from the same window Lu Xiao Tian had used to enter the room .
[Seriously are gates loosing all their appeal . Use them you little gremlins .]
Afternoon , 4 July
Central Market
There had been a disconcerting silence all over the central hub of the entire city that day . Well who would blame them almost everyone had heard the resounding consecutives bombs going off last night .
Only when two hours had passed after the bombs gone off had the regular citizens been brave enough to leave their homes , and that was when they learned that almost 80% of the warehouse sector had been blown off . On the other hand the noble sector , which the people believed to be the epitome of security, had been destroyed almost 50 % , showing that the attacker was skilled enough to get through not only formations but also skilled cultivators guarding the manors .
All day rumors had been circulating around wondering who in the city had offended someone this influential and how much more damage they would cause .
In a busy tea shop a small boy who looked to be 12 -13 years old could be seen eating some seeds as he listened to the gossip around him .
" Hmm , looks like the rumors are going in the right direction . This much should be enough , but since these people dared cross brother ,"a dark look crossed his stormy gray eyes " Let's add some more spice ."
One Hour later
" Hey , did you hear the Wu family young master , yeah yeah the third one , apparently he gat on the bad side of the formation master yesterday . "
"What , but isn't that family known for being smart , I mean both their first and second young master even managed to upgrade their academy tier , tch tch how did such a family raise someone so foolish ?"
That's when a third person entered their conversation ," It's true , yesterday I was at the government office and I saw both the clan leader and the third young master make a fool of themselves over this , right there . "
" Right right , but do you think the formation master tried to take revenge in such a cruel way -"
"Shh Shh , keep your mouth shut , do you want to get in trouble throwing such accusations about such a influential person around ."as the second person covered their mouth , they whisper shouted at them to keep quiet .
While most places people were to scared to say such words , in the privacy of many homes , this was already becoming a key point of discussion as the theories grew more and more wild with each person . Slowly and silently people started cursing and resenting the Wu clan and blaming them for all the bombing incidents .
While all this was happening .
Wu family mansion
THUD, CRASH
Many loud noises , sometimes of stuff breaking or people shouting could be heard from the clan head's study .
"Damn it , damn it , damn it all , this is all your fault , do you hear me , why did you have to be so stupid as to go run your mouth at the formation master , huh , what did I do to have raised such a stupid son ?' Wu Zenxin cursed at Wu Zixin but inside he was scared .
Whoever was behind this bombing incident was clearly targeting them . While it appeared like almost every noble had suffered from this incident it was only minor collateral loss , but for the Wu family almost 90% of their properties and businesses were destroyed . And what was scary was that these people had even destroyed secret properties Properties only some people were aware of .
Whoever they are , they have a clear grudge against us . While it is possible the formation master was behind this , he could not have acted so freely , someone someone must be helping him . But who ?
[Well sadly for you , you are to stupid to find that out , but who knows , maybe you will grow a few braincells .]
