Chapter 296: The Escort Agency's Growth [Bonus Chapter for the White Silver Alliance's Dragon Tooth Order]
The white-robed man frowned, "I killed them. Shouldn't I get the merit points?"
Fang Che said, "Then join the Guardian Pavilion, and you can have the merit points. I don't want any of it."
The white-robed man fell silent.
But deep down, he felt something was amiss. Wasn't this taking credit for someone else's work?
"You claim to shoulder the responsibility of the world, yet you do such a shameless thing?" The white-robed man couldn't hold back.
"How absurd!"
Fang Che said, "What does this have to do with my meritorious deeds and promotion? Do you mean... these six corpses will just lie here, and no one will know who killed them, creating an unsolved mystery?"
"Of course!"
"Of course, my foot!"
Fang Che snorted, "Are you saying you've cultivated your brain into a fool? Don't you want the merit points right in front of you?"
He put down the head and began to search the bodies.
To his surprise, these people carried quite a few valuable items. He smiled and took out a large cloth bag, starting to collect the spoils of war.
The white-robed man's frown deepened, "Are you taking this too?"
Fang Che replied matter-of-factly, "They are guilty, but their money and treasures are innocent. Since they are innocent, I will naturally set them free."
"Set them free?"
The white-robed man's temples throbbed, "You call this filling your pockets at the expense of others 'setting them free'?"
Fang Che asked, "What else should I do? Should I bury these with them? Should these be their funeral offerings?"
The white-robed man said matter-of-factly, "That's only natural!"
"Hahahaha..."
Fang Che laughed out loud, "I'm saying, which sect are you from? Your cultivation is not bad, but unfortunately, you've cultivated your brain into a block of wood..."
The white-robed man's frown deepened, "This is a basic moral principle..."
"Go to hell! Your principles are too high."
Fang Che packed the bundle.
He stood up and pointed at the bundle, "Do you know that one silver draft in this bag could support an ordinary family for more than ten years? Do you know that hundreds of thousands were left homeless, and millions went hungry after the blizzard a few days ago? Do you know how many people could be saved if these items in this bundle were converted into money and supplies?"
"So you only know that the dead should not be insulted, and their wealth should be buried with them?"
"Do you know that many of these cultivation items can help low-level martial artists improve? Do you know how important these people will be to the mortal world once they grow stronger?"
"Do you know..."
Fang Che was about to say more, but the white-robed man's face had already turned red.
He waved his hand and said in a flustered manner, "Don't say any more."
His face quickly returned to normal, and he asked, "But the question remains, how can you be sure I will follow you?"
"Because you have to kill three demon lords for me."
Fang Che said calmly, "With your rigid personality, since you've agreed, you will definitely kill them in front of me. Otherwise, you'd be worried that I won't acknowledge it."
"But you don't go out often, and this trip must be important. So, you're in a hurry to return."
"So you'll definitely follow me and take action in front of me, killing the three demon lords, and then you'll leave."
Fang Che said, "I can deduce that you're definitely by my side; I just can't sense you. What's so strange about that?"
"Farewell!"
The white-robed man no longer wanted to talk and disappeared with a flash.
He felt his intelligence had been crushed.
Fang Che knew this guy hadn't left; people like him wouldn't leave until they were sure of their safety. He just didn't want to talk to Fang Che anymore.
"Boom!"
A rocket exploded in the air.
Soon after, a master from the Guardian Pavilion flew over, "Administrator Fang."
"Yes, over here. I killed six demon sect cultivators of Martial Marquis rank."
"Martial Marquis? Six of them? Administrator Fang, did you... do it yourself? Or was there someone else who didn't want to be seen and isn't from the Guardian camp?"
"No, there's another person, a friend who isn't part of the Guardian camp. So, all the merit points are mine."
Fang Che's expression didn't change, and his heart remained calm.
"Congratulations, Administrator Fang."
Fang Che nodded, calculating in his mind.
One Martial Marquis is worth four hundred points, so six of them would be two thousand four hundred.
He currently had seventeen thousand four hundred seventy points. With the additional two thousand four hundred, he would have nineteen thousand seven hundred seventy points.
He was only two hundred seventy points away from becoming a First Rank Golden Star Executor!
Awesome!
This achievement was more satisfying.
"Identity verified."
"Then I'm off." Fang Che instantly disappeared without a trace.
This time, he was much more cautious.
He knew the white-robed man had left, and he no longer had a bodyguard by his side. If he appeared too conspicuously, he might truly have... nowhere to be buried.
"I once had a bodyguard..."
As Fang Che moved stealthily, changing his appearance in various hidden spots, he sighed in his heart, "But it was a one-time use..."
...
He didn't go home but directly transformed into the appearance of the Starlight Commander and headed to the Heavenly Escort Bureau.
Fang Che flew directly into the bureau, entering the grand hall.
The hall had over thirty more people than usual.
Zhao Wu Shang was chatting with them.
All thirty-plus people were young, with both male and female members. They were all of Heroic Rank cultivation, looking fresh and bright.
Zheng Yunqi sat beside him, writing frantically, recording everyone's details to prepare their identities for reporting to the escort leader.
"Kekekeke..."
The Starlight Commander strode in, hands behind his back, with a hideous face that made women retreat in fear. He tilted his head, his eyes scanning everyone like a wolf, and chuckled maliciously, "After not showing up for a day, you've all achieved quite a lot. What about these few, haven't you sold them?"
"Greetings, Commander!"
Zhao Wushang and Zheng Yunqi, along with the other young demon heads, bowed respectfully.
The Starlight Commander accepted their salute with a flourish and said, "These thirty... six, are they? Don't move! Can't you see I'm counting?"
Everyone was startled by his sudden outburst.
Why was he so aggressive all of a sudden?
"One, two, three, four..."
The Starlight Commander counted with his fingers, pointing at each person like counting pigs, and said, "Hey, thirty-six newcomers... These ladies, do you have husbands yet?"
Zhou Meier and Wu Lianlian both covered their faces.
Here we go again, the wife-obsessed commander is at it again.
Apparently, the ladies had heard about the Starlight Commander's peculiar obsession, and being from noble families, they couldn't possibly be interested in this crude man from a subordinate sect.
They politely declined one after another.
The Starlight Commander's face darkened as he watched, and finally, he exploded in anger, "Damn it! It's so difficult to find a wife... You're all so disrespectful! You don't even know to pay respects when the Commander arrives?"
"And you call yourselves scions of noble families? You're all a bunch of good-for-nothings! Get out, get out!"
The Starlight Commander was furious.
Zhao Wushang quickly stepped forward to appease him.
After a long while, the Starlight Commander reluctantly agreed, grumbling.
He sat on his throne, looking down at them, his nose crooked and his face distorted, and said, "Do you all understand the situation?"
"Yes, we do."
"Initially, I didn't want to take you in, but these guys brought a load of shit that can't be cleaned up..."
The Starlight Commander rambled on, and as he spoke, his anger grew.
His eyes, filled with malice, scanned the room, looking for someone to take his anger out on.
But today, these guys were unusually well-behaved. Perhaps, in the commander's absence, they had been properly indoctrinated.
Not a single person dared to step forward.
Even as the commander spoke harshly, everyone remained silent.
Later, he pointed at a guy's nose, cursing him for being too ugly and affecting the city's appearance, asking if he was raised in a placenta. The guy smiled broadly, "Whatever the commander says."
The Starlight Commander was seething with anger, but he couldn't bring himself to lash out.
He stood there, unsure of how to react.
Everyone held their breath, thinking, You're the boss, and we'll do as you say.
The Starlight Commander was so angry he was panting, but not a single demon head stepped forward to provide an outlet for his fury.
Finally, he pointed at a white-robed guy and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Tian Wanqing."
The young man in white flattered him with a smile, "What are your orders, Commander?"
The Starlight Commander slapped him to the ground and kicked him hard, shouting, "Why aren't you wearing a hat?"
Tian Wanqing rolled on the ground, looking confused.
Why... Why am I not wearing a hat?
It's so warm in the hall, why would I wear a hat? Besides, I'm not the only one without a hat.
But he reacted quickly, pleading, "Commander, I was wrong!"
He quickly put on a hat, his face full of flattery.
"Who told you to wear a hat?"
The Starlight Commander kicked him five zhang away.
Everyone fell silent, like cicadas in winter.
They realized that the commander didn't welcome them and was looking for trouble.
So they became even more obedient.
After venting his anger, the Starlight Commander glared at them and said viciously, "You've taught them the rules well... Zheng Yunqi!"
"At your service, Commander!"
Zheng Yunqi stepped forward immediately.
"Give each of them a copy of the Code of Conduct!"
The Starlight Commander snarled, "There will be an exam tomorrow night! Anyone who scores below eighty percent will be kicked out!"
This time, he didn't even need to use his whip.
It was a direct dismissal.
And the standard was set high at eighty percent, with no specified content, implying the entire book.
The young masters and ladies had actually arrived the day before and were given a copy of the Code of Conduct to memorize. Although they had made some progress, the announcement of the exam and the threat of expulsion for scores below eighty still left them all pale-faced.
They deeply regretted not studying more the night before...
Why did I sleep so much?
This was terrible.
Everyone knew that being expelled from this branch meant certain death.
Who would want to leave?
"Commander."
Zheng Yunqi stepped forward, his head held high under the pleading gazes of the others, and said, "Is it... one-third or... one-fifth of the content?"
Zheng Yunqi intentionally avoided mentioning the entire book, offering only two options.
He tried to mislead the Starlight Commander.
The young demon heads understood his intention, but no one dared to speak, all eyes nervously on the commander's mouth.
