Chapter 574 The Royal Family Members Who Endure Humiliation
When Cao Erdan saw that Hatano Kyoko was still trying to commit violence, he raised his hand and slapped her down.
Despite the seemingly gentle blow, Kyoko Hatano's skull was shattered, and she died with blood flowing from her ears and nose.
Cao Erdan grabbed Youxiang'er by the back of her collar and lifted her up.
She was chewing on a piece of meat in her mouth.
Cao Erdan slapped her on the butt:
"If you don't change your wild nature, I won't be able to let you out often. And you're not allowed to bite anyone anymore, understand?"
Cao Erdan was horrified by the little guy's brutality.
I had originally thought that when she grew up a bit, she could serve me, looking at her little mouth that resembled flower petals.
It seems that if she doesn't get rid of her wild nature, we can't let her run wild.
It would be terrible if you took a bite out of yourself like a sausage!
Looking at her, I couldn't help but think of Yu Lang'er, the son of Yu Aolong and Mo Bifeng from Yinshan Sect.
That kid must be crazy to use the flesh and blood of cultivators to nourish himself.
This little glutton, however, is by nature greedy and cruel.
We need to gradually reason with her.
For now, just stuff her into the storage ring so she can't run around freely.
At this moment, Huang Benchu arrived.
Seeing Kyoko Hatano bleeding from all seven orifices after being beaten, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her:
"What a pity! If those men deserved to die, they should at least have shown some consideration for the lady! She's so beautiful, it would be a waste if she died!"
Cao Erdan glared at him:
"It's still warm, why don't you take it?"
Huang Benchu hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, I don't have such a heavy taste!"
Immediately, he went over and took off Anzu Hatano's clothes.
Cao Erdan's eyes widened: "You said the taste wasn't strong, are you really going to use it?"
Huang Benchu grinned lewdly: "I'm not going to use it, I just want to see if she has any special tricks up her sleeve!"
The old bastard has taken the magic treasures and pills of the two great protectors of the Star Gate and has already gotten used to looting.
At this point, he thoroughly searched Kyoko Hatano's body, leaving no loophole unchecked.
They found nothing but two sanitary napkins in the pocket.
Huang Benchu kicked Anzu Hatano:
"Damn it, I'm broke, I have nothing!"
Cao Erdan reached out and touched Huang Benchu.
Huang Benchu was startled: "Brother Cao, what are you doing? You don't have any more unusual tastes, do you? Why are you touching me?"
Cao Erdan laughed and said, "Who cares to touch you? The fact that they were able to find us so accurately means they must have placed a tracking device on you."
Upon hearing Cao Erdan's words, Huang Benchu stopped hiding.
Spread your arms and legs wide to let Cao Erdan touch you.
"Master Cao, how can you be so sure it was installed on me and not on you?"
Cao Erdan snorted:
"Because I'm not so easily bewitched by women; if it were me, I would definitely notice!"
Huang Benchu was still somewhat unconvinced, but Cao Erdan found a button-sized locator inside his collar.
The old man then fell silent.
Cao Erdan squeezed it, and the small positioning device shattered.
Just then, footsteps sounded in the woods.
Liao Kai had already walked back with his hands behind his back.
Behind him, Zhang Wei was dragging a corpse in his hands.
Sakata Tamura, the former head of the Japanese Black Wind Society, who was trying to escape, ultimately could not escape the pursuit of these two masters.
They were killed and dragged back.
They found a large pit and threw all the bodies in.
It was destroyed by fire.
Then they pushed some stones in, which covered it up.
Zhang Wei came over again to thank Cao Erdan.
He also told Liao Kai that if it weren't for Cao Erdan's help, he might have died under Lei Wanjun's fist.
Liao Kai also introduced Cao Erdan to:
"His name is Zhang Wei. He used to be one of my top lieutenants. He's a reliable person and has accomplished a lot!"
Cao Erdan was also impressed:
"So the royal family had already infiltrated the inner circle of the powerful families!"
Liao Kai laughed heartily:
"That's nothing. Actually, although Wang Dong is a businessman, he was later recruited into the Royal Gate and is now one of our members. You're not an outsider, so I'm telling you this, but don't tell anyone else, lest it affect Wang Dong's safety."
As he spoke, he glanced at Huang Benchu, who was still searching the ground for any lost magical artifacts in the distance.
Cao Erdan nodded in agreement.
Unexpectedly, the Imperial Household Department is so meticulous in its work.
That makes sense, though. Even the powerful families in Hong Kong and mainland China are wary of them, let alone the local powerful families in Beijing.
We must take precautions and arrange for people to keep an eye on these ambitious guys early on.
Cao Erdan asked, "Brother Liao, these wealthy families hired assassins and openly defied the Imperial Family. With Wang Dong as a witness, how will Old Master Su Yi handle this? Will he wipe out their entire operation?"
Liao Kai smiled and shook his head:
"The old man certainly knows what he's doing, but right now the most urgent task is to get the general completely cured!"
He then asked Cao Erdan, "Have you found the grotto-heaven you mentioned on the map? Did you find anything?"
Cao Erdan nodded: "We've found it. It's a place where our ancient ancestors lived. There's a large, very precious medicinal garden there. I've harvested all the herbs. It should be no problem to prepare the Great Rejuvenation Pill for the old man!"
Liao Kai also expressed his joy upon hearing this:
"Good, good! As long as the old general recovers, let's see what demons and monsters dare to cause trouble!"
Liao Kai secretly admired Cao Erdan, thinking that he was indeed a genius whose efficiency was extraordinary.
He admired General Su Yi even more; he truly had a discerning eye.
The young man he had his eye on was indeed a rare talent, and given time, he would surely achieve great things!
Liao Kai looked back at Zhang Wei.
At this point, Zhang Wei reverted to his honest and unassuming self.
He seemed like an older worker waiting for his supervisor to assign him work.
He asked Liao Kai, "Now that this is over, can I go home and see my wife and kids? I haven't been back for three years."
Liao Kai shook his head: "Not yet!"
He reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Old Zhang, it's not time to close the net yet, so you can't show your face anymore, or Wang Dong will be in danger. To prevent any internal traitors, you can't go back to headquarters either. Find a place to hide, and only come out when the net is closed! We'll announce to the public that we killed you too!"
Zhang Wei nodded without any objection:
"I have a friend in the countryside of southern Xinjiang who doesn't know my identity. I'm going there to hide for a while!"
"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you!"
Zhang Wei grinned and said, "What's there to feel wronged about? It's all for the sake of peace in the world!"
Cao Erdan watched Zhang Wei put on a mask and leave, feeling that being an employee of the Royal Gate was not as glamorous as outsiders perceived.
Many times, they have to endure humiliation and hardship, always thinking of the bigger picture.
Only they themselves know the suffering they endured.
Liao Kai greeted Cao Erdan:
"Let's go, Xiao Cao, let's go back!"
Cao Erdan then called to Huang Benchu, and they all walked back together.
……
The next day, Cao Erdan and Liao Kai had already returned to the capital.
Huang Benchu had already sent Cao Erdan back to Hetang Village.
Although he didn't get to meet any minor celebrities this time, he did manage to acquire storage treasures, a cultivation staff, and a number of precious medicinal herbs, so he returned home with a full load.
Upon seeing Cao Erdan return, General Su Yi personally welcomed him into the house and poured him tea.
Cao Erdan was treated differently from his other subordinates.
Cao Erdan went on this adventure to retrieve rare and precious medicinal herbs to prolong his life.
You could say he was his savior.
Therefore, he regarded Cao Erdan as a good friend despite the age difference!
At this moment, Liao Kai seemed to have become an outsider.
Seeing that the two were having a pleasant conversation, he got up to take his leave.
Su Yi asked the nanny to set out the food and drinks, intending to have a few drinks with Cao Erdan.
Cao Erdan originally wanted to refine the elixir as soon as possible to help him prolong his life, but Su Yi said there was no rush.
He insisted on dragging Cao Erdan along for drinks.
He doesn't look like a war god of the Dragon Kingdom at all; he's clearly just an old man next door.
When the dishes were served, Su Yi specially brought out the imperial wine bestowed upon him by the royal family.
The moment the wine was poured into the glass, the room was filled with its aroma.
Su Yi raised his wine glass and toasted Cao Erdan.
The two clinked glasses, and Cao Erdan was about to down his drink when Su Yi grabbed his wrist, his expression grave.
"Erdan, what's that?"
Beneath his white eyebrows, a pair of tiger-like eyes gleamed with a sharp light, which startled Cao Erdan.
