A loud cheer was heard after they heard Zhan Wei's words, they had also seen that magical phenomenon happen right in front of their eyes, they had seen a Spirit Ring change their colour because of that mysterious Azure Blue Light…
Every single one of them looked towards Ryusei with a respectful vision, whether it was the former members of the Blood Mercenary Gang or Wan Lei or Wan Jun. Lin Yanluo already looked at him with huge respect in his eyes so that didn't change at all but he was definitely surprised by the Lord's Ability.
Ryusei sighed as he saw all the excitement that he had anticipated but still he was happy when he saw the respect in their eyes. He cleared his voice and addressed every single one of them, "Everyone, you must all be confused as to why I revealed my identity like that. Why I decided to reveal my face and my age when it nothing major had happened?"
Everyone's ears perked up at his words, especially Wan Jun, he was curious as to what reason was that. His questions were soon answered by Ryusei himself, "A few days back, I have made a huge enemy, he is the leader of a Secret Organization whom I name as Nightfall but I know about their true name now. Phantom Brotherhood!!"
His sharp words went in their ears as they wondered why he would do that but didn't question him, who didn't make enemies? Everyone did, it wasn't such a big deal but what they were even more curious about was the name of this Organization, Phantom Brotherhood.
Why had they never heard of such an organization? Who is the master of the Organization? How many people were in the Organization? And most importantly, how strong was this organization? These were the thoughts running through their minds.
Ryusei wasn't done speaking as he further spoke with strong steel-like voice, "Now, as for the reason why I decided to reveal my identity. It was for two reasons, one was as I already stated to get closer to each of you so we can easily gain each other's trust." He paused for a moment as he saw their faces…
"But the second reason was because I knew that if the Dark Lord, the leader of the Phantom Organization revealed my identity at some point, wouldn't you all be confused as to if you wanted to follow me or not. Wouldn't the situation that occurred today happen in some far away future where instead of 2, many more members would leave the organization." Their faces flashed with realization as they understood the gravity of the matter.
Many people that were doubting his capability to lead them were really embarrassed as they thought 'Our leader has thought so far ahead and we were actually doubting his leadership capabilities. Who among us would have thought this!? Nobody!!'
Ryusei sighed down in relief as he saw everyone's face flashing with realization, he then looked towards Zhan Wei and revealed a small smile on his face, he expressed, "Actually, I didn't plan on showing of this ability just yet but the words he spoke made me think otherwise."
"Everyone look at him, this is the Loyalty I expect from each and every one of you. I won't be stingy in giving out benefits but I want you to work collectively as an Organization and train hard."
His words were met with a loud cheer, their blood raced as they knew that they would have to train even harder, become stronger and be loyal. It wasn't a big deal to be loyal because it wasn't like they had many offers.
As Everyone were cheering at the thought that they may have a chance to be blessed by that Azure Blue Light, Wan Jun stepped forwards as he bowed down and said, "I will stay in this organization and obey all that Leader says for as long as my younger brother does… If something happens to him, I would be the first one to leave the organization."
Ryusei wasn't the first one to reply to his words but it was Lin Yanluo, he spoke in his Bone Chilling voice, "And I would be the first one to start hunting you!" The Red Lightning crackled around Lin Yanluo's hands as he spoke those words.
Ryusei clapped as he didn't want them to start a conflict and then turned towards Wan Jun, "Alright then, tell me what do you want to ask? You wouldn't have said all that to just inform me, you could have done it when talking to me alone."
Wan Jun nodded as he asked, "Is this the same organization which tried to recruit me and my brother before!?" Ryusei nodded his head as there was no point in maintaining secrecy about this matter.
Wan Jun narrowed his eyes as he spoke, "Then doesn't that mean that this Phantom Brotherhood knows about us? They know our faces and almost everything about us. If word got out that we are in the Eclipse Tower, wouldn't it be really easy for them to assassinate me and my younger brother."
Ryusei chuckled as he heard his words, he put a hand on top of his face as he tried to stop his chuckling and then raised his hands… His laugh wasn't funny, no it was like he was waiting for them to realize it.
Ryusei voiced out, "Let them come…I am waiting for them now! It is really good to talk to someone intelligent." Wan Jun narrowed his eyes as he displayed some anger on his face, "Y-you are using us as baits!"
Ryusei causally said, "Yes, so what? Yes, I am using you as baits, I want to catch some members of his Organization and interrogate them myself. Why wouldn't I use you as baits?" Wan Jun raised his voice as he angrily replied back, "How dare you try to use me and my brother as baits? Why don't you use someone-"
Ryusei's eyes got cold as he said, "Stop right there! You are a truly self-centred person; do you seriously think that only you and your brother's life is at stake here? Every single person's life in this ground is at stake. Yes, even Mine? Much more than you, so shut the fuck up and stop your whining."
His words did have some effect and caused Wan Jun to calm down, after he observed that Wan Jun had calmed down to actually hear an explanation and started, "And one more thing, there is no need for you to be so scared about the assassination. We do have an advantage; the Dark Lord doesn't know the name of the organization or if there is even an organization!"
All that Wan Jun expressed was, "Huh…then doesn't that mean we are all safe for now." Ryusei nodded as he stated, "That is why I don't want you to take tension. The Dark Lord doesn't know about the organization so he won't start for the search for an Organization, his men will specifically search for me."
He had a cruel smile on his face as he thought about those sacrifices that were about to head his way, he wondered if he would be able to acquire any valuable information from them.
His words did make the members to remind everyone that if they were scared of this Assassination then their Leader was excited about being targeted. It was like he thought of those Assassins as his prisoners which made them revere him even more…
Zhan Wei stood up as he said, "I would support you My Lord!" Ryusei nodded and accepted his good intentions and said, "Alright now, everyone split up!"
After he was done for today, Ryusei ordered them to stop their Physical Training and started meditating and increasing their Spirit Rank. He knew that the amount of Physical Work they did in this one month would let them have quick benefits.
Another chapter for all of you guys... I am sorry for no chapters these days.
