Chapter 3582
Fade looked ahead and saw a dense and low bungalow, inside of which were various makeshift wooden houses. It was very crowded and cluttered, with dirty water flowing and litter everywhere. Such a scene reminded Fade of the slums on Earth.
Trevor, on the other hand, deftly maneuvered Fade around the house. They shuttled back and forth and soon stopped in front of a low bungalow.
He knocked on the door three times rhythmically. After a while, the wooden door creaked and opened, revealing a delicate little face. "Brother, you're back!"
The wooden door opened, and a thin little girl came out.
She was about to pounce on Trevor when she saw Fade beside him. Taken by surprise, she stepped back timidly.
Seeing this, Trevor pulled the little girl over with a smile and took the initiative to introduce Fade. "Jevelyn, this is Brother Chen. He's a good person. He helped me out just now."
Then, Trevor introduced to Fade, "Brother Chen, this is my younger sister, Jevelyn."
"Brother Chen!" the little girl timidly greeted Fade.
Then, the three of them went into the room.
The room was very small and very simple. Except for the bed and two chairs, there was almost nothing else.
However, although the environment was bad, the small room was quite clean.
Jevelyn poured water for Fade and then sat down in the room to chat.
After a while, the neighbors turned around one after another and began to exchange words with Fade.
Fade also learned that these neighbors were basically the socially marginalized, and there were also a few of them. Like Trevor, they were also members of the Chinese. They huddled together to keep warm here and managed to scrape by.
Fade began to converse with them and gleaned a basic understanding of everyone's situation.
The poverty-stricken people of West Region City, especially the Chinese, lived a miserable life. Basically, they could only do some lowest-level odd jobs. They would also be oppressed and discriminated against, and sometimes they would be beaten to death and denied a chance at justice.
It could be said that the Chinese were almost at the bottom of West Region City.
After hearing this, Fade couldn't help sighing plaintively. He took out a few yuan stones and distributed them.
Although it could not change anything, it could be more or less helpful.
After chatting for a while, everyone went home as it was almost time for dinner. Trevor also prepared the food, inviting Fade to stay for a meal.
Fade didn't mind it at all. He helped to check the body of the little girl, Jevelyn.
After the examination, Fade's eyes lit up as he exclaimed, "Huh!"
"Brother Chen, is there anything wrong with Jevelyn?" Trevor suddenly became nervous.
Fade smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry, Jevelyn's health is fine. It's just that she's a little malnourished. Nourishment will fix this."
After that, Fade injected a touch of wood essence into her body.
Then, he looked at Trevor and Jevelyn and asked, "Do you want to cultivate?"
"Cultivation!"
Upon hearing this word, Trevor's eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly. "Yes, of course. Brother Chen, you-"
Fade smiled and said, "Yes, I can teach you cultivation."
"Great! Thank you, Brother Chen-no, Master Chen!" Trevor was about to kneel down and kowtow.
Fade helped him up and said, "You don't have to be so formal. I'll leave each of you a cultivation method. You have to read it and then practice hard, am I understood?" While speaking, Fade produced two boxes and handed them to the siblings.
The two took it respectfully and bowed to Fade again to thank him.
Later, Fade explained the booklet to them and briefly taught them some martial arts techniques and moves.
Smart as they two were, they soon comprehended it. Although they were still very inexperienced, they had begun to get the hang of it.
Fade looked at the two people who were cooking while reciting the cultivation method, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.
It was a sudden idea for Fade to teach them how to cultivate.
Just now, when he'd checked
Jevelyn's body, he found that her
cultivation talent was not bad. Although she was not as amazing as Skyle from Sun-Moon City, she was not bad. If she cultivated normally in Sun-Moon City, she might have a chance to become an elder in the future.
Trevor's talent was slightly inferior, but it was still acceptable.
Therefore, Fade, who cherished talents, chose two suitable cultivation methods and imparted them to the two.
Soon, the food was ready.
It was only a bowl of simple rice with the side dishes of a plate of green vegetables and a small plate of salted vegetables, but Fade ate it with relish. After the meal, Fade was chatting with the siblings.
At this moment, Fade set his heart on a decision as he looked off into the distance.
Then, he bade farewell to the two of them, turned into a residual shadow, and left quickly.
Outside the slum, inside a teahouse.
Fade listened to the reports of Danyaal and Nine-fingered Devil.
Just now, Fade had dispatched them to find out how to sneak into West Region King's mansion. Now, the two of them came back, bearing some news.
"Word has it that the West Region
King, Jovian, recently got a young
favorite concubine. Tomorrow is the
birthday of his favorite concubine
so he is going to hold a banquet in
the mansion and invite the nobles in the city to attend the celebration."
"So, I think this is a good opportunity to sneak into his mansion. I've found a list of people who are invited. You can choose one of them and disguise yourself to enter the mansion." While speaking, Danyaal handed a list to Fade.
Fade looked down and suddenly fixed his eyes on a name, "Qi Mansion".
"Does this Qi Mansion belong to the business family, the Qi family, in West Region City?" asked Fade.
Danyaal nødded. "That's right. The
master of the Qi Family, Vangour is known as the richest man in the city.
They are one of the three major families in the city. He is one of the people who are invited."
Seeing this, Fade nodded and said, "The Qis, then."
"Got it!" Danyaal nodded and got up. "I'm off to collect information about the Qis right away and find a way to sneak in."
Fade said, "No need. I'll go to the Tong Mansion first and find a way to worm my way into the Qis."
"Tong Mansion?" Danyaal was puzzled. He looked at Fade and then at Nine- fingered Devil.
However, the old devil's face was also full of confusion as he shook his head.
Fade did not explain anything to them. The three of them left the teahouse together and headed for the Tong Mansion.
In a side room in the backyard of Tong Mansion.
The mustachioed butler knelt on the ground and kowtowed loudly. "Young Master, I deserve to die. I failed to complete your task.
The vermin was rescued, and more than a dozen of us were hurt. Young Master, please mete out your punishment."
A grim-faced young man in a brocade robe was sitting above the butler. He was none other than Klein, the eldest son of the Tong family.
Frowning, Klein grumbled, "You couldn't even catch a lowly slave. Are you all useless? I've already promised Mr. Qi. Are you asking me to offend him?"
"I don't dare. I deserve to die!" The butler could only kowtow to beg for forgiveness.
"I'll give you another chance. If you can't bring her back, then you'll be the one to die," Klein ordered, gritting his teeth.
"Yes, thank you very much, Young Master. This time, I will definitely complete the mission!" the butler promised repeatedly.
