Chapter 269: The Escort Agency of Villains
Chapter 269: The Escort Agency of Villains
"What about me?" Fang Che asked.
"Of course, you'll be at the level of a Master, and we'll take care of it together."
"Alright then," Fang Che reluctantly agreed. But he added, "We can't all be escort chiefs and masters... We need some people working in the shadows too."
Everyone exchanged glances, clearly unwilling to work in the shadows.
But the overall plan was finally decided upon.
"Master, when we create fake identities, should we use real names or aliases?" Zhao Wushang asked cautiously.
"Real names, not many people know my identity anyway," Fang Che replied.
"May I dare to ask your esteemed name, Master?"
"Yin Xiu."
"What a nice name, Master."
"Then will you marry me?"
"..."
Several women were speechless.
They realized that this Master was not just pretending to be a wife-chaser; he was the real deal!
This made them even more hesitant to joke around.
If they were taken seriously, it could lead to trouble.
Suddenly, all the women became solemn and serious.
Next, it was time to name the escort agency.
"How about 'Black Giant Escort Agency'?" Xing Mang, the Starlight Master, suggested.
"..."
The others looked at him with disapproval. "Master, that's not appropriate."
"Then you come up with a name. Damn it, my luck has been bad lately. Whatever I suggest, you all oppose! I can't even find a wife!"
Xing Mang sat on the throne and started complaining.
The women pretended not to hear.
"From now on, we'll specifically target women. If anyone makes a mistake, they'll marry me as punishment."
Fang Che declared.
Instantly, the women's faces turned extremely serious.
One of them thought, I must be extra vigilant from now on. If I make a mistake... my life will be ruined!
After some discussion, a name for the escort agency emerged.
"Heavenly Escort Agency!"
A name that exuded power and dominance.
The Chief Escort: Yin Xiu.
Escort Chiefs: Zhao Wushang, Zhao Wubai, Zheng Yunqi...
Escort Masters: ...
Escort Guards: ...
Financial Officer: Wu Lianlian and others.
Business Officer: Zhou Meier and others...
In an instant, everyone assumed their respective roles.
"Hurry up and get the identities ready. Tomorrow, I'll go to the Guardian Pavilion to register! From now on, we'll be law-abiding citizens!" Fang Che announced.
"The Guardian Pavilion!"
Many people looked at the Master with a mix of shock and admiration.
The Master was actually daring enough to go to the Guardian Pavilion; what courage did he possess?
Fang Che angrily said, "What are those looks for? From now on, not only me, but all of you must also build a good relationship with the Guardian Pavilion. We'll be going in and out of there frequently. Moreover, since we're operating within the law, what's there to fear?!"
Everyone fell silent.
While they weren't afraid...
...they just didn't want to go.
"You all look so unmotivated. When you're undercover, you need to be bold and confident. Look at yourselves!"
Fang Che's words were filled with frustration and encouragement. "Show your courage, bravely face the challenges of the mortal world. If we're not afraid of life and death, why fear the Guardian Pavilion? Come on, who's willing to volunteer for the Guardian Pavilion? I'll reward you!"
But no matter how much he tried to motivate them...
...everyone had made up their minds to be like turtles, keeping quiet and not speaking up.
The Guardian Pavilion was a place they feared... Even walking on the streets, they worried about being caught and sent there. And now they were expected to go there on their own... Let whoever wanted to go, go!
Fang Che sighed, "If none of you go, I'll go myself! I'll show you the might of this Master!"
"Hurry up and get the identities ready."
So, Zhao Wushang contacted his family to quickly arrange for a sect to provide the identities.
After careful selection, they chose the neutral sect, Mountain Shifter Sect.
With that, the rest of the process became smoother.
The group of villains got to work.
Xing Mang cursed a few times and left.
...
Fang Che walked on the street, looking back at the branch, which was already far away, hidden in the darkness.
Finally, the branch was established.
But Fang Che didn't feel any joy; instead, he felt a sense of loneliness.
As the branch took shape and its tasks commenced, this loneliness deepened.
By day, he was a guardian of peace for the people in the Guardian Pavilion, and by night, he worked for the Demon Sect, establishing its branch.
With each step forward, he felt like a split personality, one foot in the light and the other in the darkness.
The boundary between light and darkness seemed like a towering blade, slicing him in two.
Each step brought him closer to the brink of life and death.
And this was just the beginning.
He thought of Ye Meng, Mo Gan Yun, and his family...
He thought of leaving the Martial Arts Academy, leaving his brothers behind...
He thought of how he could have easily gained the admiration of the entire academy, becoming the core of the new students, but instead, he took a step back and became a lone wanderer.
He had given up the opportunity to shine brightly and be revered by all, choosing a path that would inevitably lead to betrayal and scorn...
He shook his head, smiled bitterly, and banished all these distracting thoughts. With a flash, he disappeared.
What was the point of thinking so much?
The road ahead must be traveled, and the tasks must be completed.
...
Xing Mang hesitated.
"Today, we need to go to the Guardian Pavilion for registration... Who's going?" Fang Che asked.
Everyone: "..."
But you agreed to go! Why are you backing out now? We clearly remember what you said that day.
"It's just a quick errand, come on out!"
The Starlight Commander urged.
"..."
"With your attitude, do you really expect to accomplish anything significant?" Fang Che sighed, "Why don't you just come out!"
Everyone: "..."
As long as I play dead, nothing will happen to me!
"Damn it!"
Fang Che was furious, slamming the table and thundering, "You all are acting like scaredy-cats now, and you dare call yourselves demons!"
It's not like that!
We are law-abiding citizens now! The group remained silent.
"Damn!"
Fang Che stood up, "I'll go myself!"
Everyone: "Phew..."
It's still up to you to go.
It has to be you.
Who made you boast so much that day?
"I won't go myself!"
Fang Che, with a fearless expression: "Zhao Wushang, you come with me!"
"Ah?!?"
Zhao Wushang lifted his head, his face a mix of innocence and fear, "Commander... Commander... This... this... this won't do..."
Behind them.
Jiang Bin kicked him in the butt, "The Commander has named you, hurry up!"
What if I don't go? How will you handle it? Zhao Wushang felt like he was being led to the execution ground, his face filled with despair.
I heard the Guardian Pavilion has Fiery Eye Golden Vision...
At dawn.
The cold wind blew.
The Starlight Commander and Zhao Wushang walked towards the Guardian Pavilion.
Along the way, Zhao Wushang's legs went soft three or four times.
But his legs weren't the only thing soft; the Starlight Commander's legs were also trembling.
Finally, they arrived at the entrance of the Guardian Pavilion of White Cloud Continent.
Both of them were covered in sweat.
Zhao Wushang, already on the verge of running away, stammered, "Commander... Commander..."
"You should be calling him the Chief Escort!" Fang Che slapped him again, "Are you stupid?"
Zhao Wushang's lips turned blue, "Chief... Escort... Maybe we should... go back?"
"Slap!"
Another slap landed on his face, "You want to go back now? The Guardian Pavilion won't eat you!"
"It... it can..."
Just then, someone walked up to the entrance, frowning, "Hey, who are you? Why are you hitting people at the entrance of the Guardian Pavilion? What's going on?"
They were discovered.
Zhao Wushang's legs started shaking uncontrollably.
"Commander..."
"Shut up!"
Fang Che glared at him and forced a smile, "Officer, I opened an escort agency in the city... I haven't registered yet, hehe..."
Rubbing his hands, he looked honest and simple.
"Don't you dare!" Left Guang Lie scolded, "Registering an escort agency is no big deal! Go in! Hurry up! What are you trembling for?"
"It's too intimidating..." Zhao Wushang stuttered.
Given Left Guang Lie's cultivation level, encountering him in the martial world wouldn't be a cause for fear, even if one couldn't defeat him.
But this was the Guardian Pavilion, and he himself... was a demon sect member.
Naturally suppressed.
"Today, we're starting a smiling service for those who come to do business," Left Guang Lie said. "This is the first time I've heard of smiling service in all my years at the Guardian Pavilion..."
Inside, a smiling service indeed awaited: "What can I help you with?"
"I... I'm from the Mountain Shifter Sect... I want to register an escort agency," the Starlight Commander said.
"Oh, a stutterer wants to open an escort agency... interesting. Bring it over..." the person inside said.
"I... I... I... I'm not... Ha ha ha... a stutterer..."
"Understood. You're a stutterer... Hand over the money."
"How much?"
"One thousand taels."
"There are also industry regulations, a commitment to abide by the law, and this... this..."
"I'll buy them all!"
"What do you mean buy? You take them! Take them! Understand? Pay up!"
"How... how much?"
"One hundred taels each!"
"Here, this is your business license, approved by the Guardian Pavilion..."
"Thank you, and is that all?"
"That's it, let's go. Go back and get a plaque to start your business."
"..."
As they left the entrance of the Guardian Pavilion.
"Phew!"
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially Zhao Wushang: "Oh my, it's done."
