Chapter 259
Location: The Castle of Raging Fire.
Inside a well-built and spacious room, a cloud of cigarette smoke swirled. Three men with gloomy faces were sitting silently on a luxury sofa. Next to them was a tea table, and there was a pack of cigarettes on top of it. The package of the cigarette was crumpled, and there were only a few cigarettes left inside.
“Big brother. Is it possible that the fire messenger is...?” A fat man who weighed at least 200 kg broke the silent. He seemed to be very worried.
“No!” The castellan of the castle of Raging Fire Lei Ming suddenly clenched his fists and stopped the fat man. The cigarette that was in between his fingers was instantly snapped into half, and his eyes glinted with anger. His left hand was injured by the ice race’s flying machine during the escape. If he had not dodged in time, he would have lost his entire arm.
“But big brother, Third Brother’s worry is reasonable. In this kind of situation, no matter what happened, the fire messenger should have been back by now. What if the castle of Snowstorm attacked us, we won’t be able to defeat them, after all, this place is the foundation of its force,” said a skinny man who was sitting next to Lei Ming. He was wearing a pair of glasses and a clean suit, in this chaotic world, it was very strange to see someone dressed like this. He adjusted his glasses and carried on, “something must have happened!”
Lei Ming didn’t respond to him immediately, he was using his fingers to tap the tea table for a while then said, “no matter what happened to it, we can’t panic!”
Second Brother and Third Brother looked at each other for a second then looked at Lei Ming and nodded their heads.
“It isn’t easy for us to get to this far. Surviving is already difficult enough in this dark world, having a place to stay is even harder, everyone is extremely careful with every step forward, because no one knows what’s in front of them.
Think about how we got to this place. Without the fire messenger, those who are enslaved by us will definitely seize the opportunity to rebel. We have offended too many people. We don’t have any chance to surrender ourselves. If that really happens, death is what’s waiting for us...” Lei Ming said sternly to the only two people who he could trust. He seemed to be unusually calm at the moment.
The fat man Third Brother was still shocked, but Second Brother who was wearing the glasses already realised what his Big Brother was trying to say, he had already broken out into a cold sweat, “big brother, you want to impersonate...”
Lei Ming nodded his head and stopped Second Brother, “yes, the castle needs the fire messenger, no one has seen the face of the fire messenger, and no one dares to question it. So we are safe at the moment.”
“Who?” Third Brother simply asked.
Lei Ming looked at him and said, “we haven’t reached that point yet, the fire messenger will probably come back soon, I am just giving you two a heads up, so you two are prepared.”
Then he said to the skinny man, “Second Brother, you are the most meticulous amongst us three. You personally pick some reliable people and find us a secret place, we need to start transferring the food. We need to plan for the worst, the impersonation won’t be able to last long.”
“Okay big brother, it’s our livelihood, I’ll make sure that nothing unexpected happens!” Second Brother said sternly.
“I trust you,” Lei Ming patted his shoulder and said. Then he turned to the fat man and rebuked him, “Third Brother, only we know that you are the strongest amongst us. With this kind of thing happening, everyone will only know about me, so restrain yourself! Don’t tell anyone about your ability, including those women who you are sleeping with! We are relying on you to deal with the women from the castle of Snowstorm!”
“Big Brother, don’t worry, I might be reckless, but I won’t treat this one lightly, I won’t cause any trouble to you,” The fat man said sternly.
“It’s not that I like to criticize you, but you really should spend less time on playing those women. Look what you did this time, we had asked you to protect our castle, but when we escaped from the castle of Snowstorm, you were still in bed with those women?! Do you know that we almost died, and if the castle of Snowstorm counterattacked us right after we retreated, we would be all dead!” Lei Ming was glaring at the fat man and said angrily.
“Sorry brothers, I know this thing is bad, but I only have this hobby, besides, the world has already become like this, apart from doing that thing, what else can we do?” Although they said that Third Brother was the strongest, it seemed like he was still scared of Lei Ming.
“As long as we have food, we will not be sort of women, do you still not understand this!? And there is one thing I have to tell you. Do not even think about touching the Korean that Old Wang brought back, Old Wang said that the fire messenger also said she is pretty. We all don’t know what that means, but don’t try to do something stupid! Do you understand!” Second Brother was very worried that one day this brother would cause huge trouble for them.
“Second Brother, you have told me hundreds of times already, I know that I’m lustful, but I am not stupid. I know what to do!” Third Brother argued.
“You call that lustful? You are indulging...” Second Brother wanted to carry on saying something, but he was interrupted by Lei Ming.
“Enough Second Brother, I think he still knows what’s important, and what’s not. You can carry on arranging your documents and Third Brother, you need to spend more time studying the cultivation method that the fire messenger taught you, otherwise if the fire messenger comes back and finds out that you have no improvement, we will become useless to it.”
...
A few hours after the retreat, the castle of Raging Fire was still as quiet as usual. However, the tension in the entire castle was increasing every second as time passed by. The news about the failure of the attack was spread like wildfire, many people that were not happy with the slavery practice were secretly preparing to rebel in the dark...
The sky was still very dark as if all the stars were dead. The castle of Raging Fire had temporarily prohibited people to walk outside of their houses.
However, on a quiet and empty street of the castle of Raging Fire, there were some clear and quick-paced footsteps.
From the direction the footsteps disappeared, it seemed like someone was running towards the mansion at the end of the street.
As a person entered the mansion, the person instantly heard a man’s heavy panting sound and women’s seductive moaning sounds.
“Third General? Third General?...” a shaking voice appeared outside the door where the moaning sounds came from.
“Motherfuckee... Don’t you know that I am busy now? If there is anything, report it to me tomorrow, now, fuck off, if you dare to stay one second longer... I will kill you!” the fat man, Fù Hànbiāo was furious. He was just about to reach the climax of sexual excitement, but it was all ruined by the guy who shouted outside his door.
“Third General, even if you want to kill me, I still have to say it, otherwise, the castellan will also kill me! The castellan needs you to have an audience with the fire messenger now!” the man outside the door seemed to be very scared, however, he still did not leave.
“What! The fire messenger came back!?” Fu Hanbiao was shocked. As he was suddenly scared by the news, his thighs and buttocks instantly tightened. “Shit...” as he shouted, the woman below him also let out a long and feeble moan.
“That’s what they told me, are you alright?” said the man outside the door.
“Fuck, get me the clothes, where are my clothes? Why the fuck didn’t you say it earlier!” Fu Hanbiao cursed.
.....
When Fu Hanbiao finally arrived at a palace-like building, Lei Ming and his second brother were already talking to the fire messenger. From their expression, Fu Hanbiao understood that his brothers were finally relieved.
“Lord fire messenger!” Fu Hanbiao quickly stepped forward and knelt down, this was the “rules” of the castle of Raging Fire, it applied to everyone.
“Second Brother, who is that man?” The fire messenger didn’t like to talk to people, so Fu Hanbiao was already used to it. After greeting the fire messenger, he quietly moved to the side to stand next to his second brother Luō Héngshēn and asked him silently.
“He was brought back by the fire messenger, don’t say anything, just listen!” Luo Hengshen said. He did not change his expression nor made any movements.
Fu Hanbiao was late, when he arrived, the conversation between the fire messenger and his big brother was almost finished. All he heard was that the fire messenger told them coldly that he was tired, and everything would be handled by the old man. Then the fire messenger left the place without explaining anything.
...
The reason why Chu Yunsheng wanted to enter the castle of Raging Fire was very simple. From the only few cloaked man’s memory fragments that could be decoded by Min, Chu Yunsheng knew that there was only one cloaked man in the castle of Raging Fire.
So if he wanted to save the candidates that had been captured by the cloaked man, it would be very easy for him. However, if he really did it. It would cause more damage than benefit.
The first problem would be that he had nowhere to keep the candidates safe. He couldn’t go back to the castle of Snowstorm, and the creep area was definitely not an ideal location.
Not only that, if he used force to bring them out of the castle of Raging Fire, or the clock man didn’t return to the castle of raging fire, those spies from the castle of Snowstorm would definitely know that something had happened to the fire messenger and the power balance between the two castles would definitely be broken.
On the other hand, if he impersonated the fire messenger, not only would he have a safe location to keep the candidates, but he would also be able to make the entire castle of Raging Fire work for him and rescue the rest of candidates from the castle of Snowstorm.
In the entire plan, who was going to impersonate the cloaked man had become a problem for Chu Yunsheng for a while.
Originally, he wanted to impersonate the cloaked man himself. However, he was also worried that the people from the castle of Raging Fire would notice something.
Then he accidentally discovered that although the control range of Min seemed to be no further than a few meters away from the tomb, the second body of the Min didn’t seem to be restricted by this rule.
That was why Chu Yunsheng dared to walk into the castle to Raging Fire from the front entrance.
He intentionally “showed” the cloaked man to those spies that were hiding inside the castle of Raging Fire, so they could report what they had seen back to the castle of Snowstorm.
While Chu Yunsheng was walking on the quiet street, he was also very confused, the castle of Snowstorm didn’t seem to arrange any counterattack actions?
...
“Grandpa, you look very familiar!” After sending away the cloaked man, Lei Ming smiled at Chu Yunsheng and said.
