Chapter 41: Knowing your opponent is the way

" All that was just based on rumours and it's what most people know but the actual truth is that your father Chaulau was a great gambler and drinker besides hunting. On many occasions when he came back home drunk, he not only always beat your mother but also raped her. When the war started it, your father was recruited into the army because of his great fighting and combat skills. It was one day when your father came home drunk and found your mother's best friend who also taught with her at the same school holding her hands in the middle of the night talking to her while she was crying. Your father became so angry that he grabbed the spear and killed the man without warning. He did not stop there but also accused your mother of adultery and hunted her down into the mountains. At that time, your mother was pregnant with two unborn babies.Day and night your mother lived in the cold mountains and caves until she met a good Samaritan who took her in. She later gave birth to two baby boys who were adopted by the good Samaritan after your mother died in labour due to excessive loss of blood. The two shadows of the good Samaritan investigated the origins of the woman for four years until the truth was revealed. At the age of eight the elder son who was also named Chun(spring) because of the time who were born excelled in both Martial Arts and Accounts. The younger son also known as Piao(handsome) excelled in Martial Arts and was also a great scholar who had great knowledge in politics and military strategy. Upon reaching twelve years, the two were unbeatable among children of their age brackets. Upon knowing the truth at the age of fifteen, the two said goodbye to their adopted father and went to carryout their revenge. They were secretly gifted the two shadows by their adopted father. At the age of sixteen, the two were taken in by a great general of the Ibo Clan, Chaulau who also doubled as their father. At the age of twenty, the two became the left and right hand side men of the general. Fifteen years ago, the two of you worked together with enemy and led the general into an ambush but also used this ambush to defeat the enemies thanks to the great strategist Piao. When the two of you returned from the war with a stunning victory, Piao was promoted to General and was given the title Minister of Internal Security while you were granted the title Minister of Finance due to your great talent in calculations. You later married to a beautiful lady who gave birth to two sons. One whose whereabouts were hidden to most people while the the other is the spoilt lbo Chen. But thanks to your son's negligence, the whereabouts of your other son are now exposed. I've heard he is a top student at Skyfall Academy. But don't worry I won't to anything to him if he stays disciplined. You are actually thirty six years this year but look fifty or sixty because of the incident that happened five years ago. Is that right Minister Ibo Chun or is there somewhere I went wrong? " concluded Hedrick with the laugh of the devil on his face.

With a long sigh, Ibo Chun finally regained his lost composure and looked towards Hedrick as he narrowed his eyes.

" Sigh! (shaking his head) there is no need to look at me that way. I'll take it as a yes." Hedrick said in a carefree tone.

" What do you want exactly? "asked Ibo Chun indifferently.

" No need to be so harsh. "

" Cut the crap. What do you want? "

(Shaking his head once again with a sigh)

" Nothing much. I came for my compensation because of your lovely son."

" How much exactly?"

" Drop two hundred gold bars to my school account by three days time."

" I'm sure your shadow has already told you about my school."said Hedrick.

" Are you trying to rob me in day light?" roared Ibo angrily.

" Do it or not. I didn't care. I also need my silver card that your son tried to rob away from me.My time is running out and I have to complete my mission before I return to school."

" Guard, go bring the silver card from Chen."roared Ibo Chun.

" Also you should control your son.If he one day met someone who can't control his temper, you will receive a dead body." warned Hedrick and then laughed.

" Send me a bucket of gun powder. Don't worry I'll exchange it with some vital piece of information."

" What is it that is so important that is as valuable as my gun powder?"

" The gun powder isn't yours; it's from your brother. Anyways the information is vital.i can only say four words 'The Blood Well Project'. " when the words were mentioned, Ibo Chun's expression changed completely.

" Don't panic,I'm one of the few people who know about it. Anyways tell your shadow to check the tavern near the restaurant."

" Okay the gun powder will be delivered to you in a few minutes with the card."Ibo Chun finally answered.

" The gold will also be banked onto your account. " he added.

Hedrick then nodded and slowly began to move out of the study before he turned around.

" It's better you defend for now and control your son if not all your efforts may go in vain. Good luck. I'll wait for your good news." he advised and the walked out.

The shadow the came out and stood behind Ibo Chun.

" He knows almost everything about us including even the most secret information which includes you." said Ibo Chun slowly.

" That's right. it seems you should be more careful from now on. Good thing for now he is not an enemy. "said the shadow.

" What if he became an enemy one day?"asked Ibo Chun as he turned around.

" Then you won't be his match." said the shadow before it disappeared.

" Wow! I never expected you to give him such a valuation." said Ibo Chun.
