Race to the
Throne
Chapter 6: Devil's Nest
[Note: Blood and other mature stuff may be written. So you have been warned]
Liu Lim is the name of the person whose tongue got cut by Hao Jiazhi, as for the other 3
They are, Mao Xue, Fu Bu, and Meng Bai
Before Hao Jiazhi began talking about his master plan, he looked at his 2 guards and said "What I am going to say now is something that you both should never speak to anyone, no matter how worst things get
If even a small word is leaked… it will be really bad… Not for me or for you but, for your family"
Hao Jiazhi is giving a straight death warning to both guards with a serious look as he don't want his plan to leak out in no condition
He knows that a man can be greedy and can open his mouth when things get tough, but it's a different story if his lover is in someone's hand and that's what he did
Hao Jiazhi said it clearly that if something goes wrong, the one who will die first is neither him nor those two but their family
"We understand" They both said in unison as fear clearly leaked from their eyes
With a smile, Hao Jiazhi put his hand around their shoulder and said "Xiao Cai and Wang Liang (name of those 2 guards), don't feel nervous or fear me
The only time you should fear me is when you make a mistake, if you don't make any mistake then… I will make sure that you live a great life
For example, I will now promote both of you from simple house guards to my bodyguards and your pay also increases"
Hearing this, both of them somewhat became happy as they thought that Hao Jiazhi is just a tyrant who would kill anyone when his work is done
Which is somewhat true but still, he has promised to hold his principals and live a long life so we may see him complete his word very often
"Now, the main thing…
*looking at 3 men*
I have an offer for you all and if you accept it, you will have a great life for sure but…
But if you don't accept it, then…." Hoa Jiazhi didn't say the consequences as he wanted to embed fear in there heart, soul, and mind so that they would never dare to cross his line
All people present in the room gulped their saliva and nodded, expressing to continue
Hao Jiazhi nodded with a smile and then began talking
"I want to create a gang or an organization that will help me attain the highest amount of power and money in the whole continent of Han…
And you can pretty much guess that it is not a good organization, right?
*everyone nods*
Our organization's name will be '5 shadows', meaning that there will be 5 people/heads in the organization that will lead the organization to a better future
As for our work
We will be collecting money from farmers to businessmen, except government officials as they can be a problem in the long run
Further details will be provided when you 4 will decide to join the organization, so how about it? Will you join?
You are free to decline my offer?"
Hao Jiazhi ended his words with a smile but on the other hand, all 3 men are just dead silent as they don't know what to do
As for Liu Lim, he is fully exhausted and feeling all down
Mao Xue, Fu Bu, and Meng Bai looked at each other, thinking about what to do
If they say yes, they will live for sure but if they say no… they might experience the same thing as Liu Lim
Finally, they made up their mind to agree and join his organization; after all, they will be working under royalty so they may have a better life in the future
"great" Hearing their agreement, Hao Jiazhi became all happy but then he looked at Liu Lim
"what about you? Will you join my side and live or…?" Han Jiazhi asked Liu Lim
Liu Lim was on the verge of becoming unconscious but still, he heard HaoJiazhi's word loud and clear, his last hope to live kicked in, and he nodded
But…
Hao Jiazhi is a pure devil
"I don't want to see you nodding; I want to hear you say in words… Speak… Will you join my side or not?" Hao Jiazhi asked him again
This made not just Liu Lim shocked, but also all the people present in the scene
Liu Lim was just petrified on the spot with his eyes all wide as he just can't speak anything
How can he speak, his tongue is being cut
But Hao Jiazhi doesn't care anything; he takes his step towards Liu Lim one more time and this time with a cleaver knife
A knife that is used to cut bones and it can cut human bone also…
"Speak…" Hao Jiazhi said as he moved towards Liu Lim with a cleaver in his hand and face that only has anger
It was clear what is going to come next, it was something really gore
The new bodyguards, 3 men, and Han Yachun wanted to stop Hao Jiazhi but they can't move from their place
Why?
Fear…
They had long started fearing him more and more, and now that they have sensed what is going to happen... they just can't make their body go against their fear
*Screaming and rustling noise*
Liu Lim tried to scream for his life but it only made Hao Jiazhi angrier
Hao Jiazhi looked down at his shirt and then took it off, "You stained my clothes" he said to him
And then, Hao Jiazhi started putting his shirt inside the mouth of Liu Lim with full strength
"NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO DISRESPECT ME!!!!"Hao Jiazhi said as he put clothes inside the mouth of Liu Lim and then started punching him one after another
He had put his cleaver on the other side, as he first wanted to just punish Liu Lim
After a few minutes of beating, Hao Jiazhi got bored as Liu Lim showed no reaction anymore
And then, he took the cleaver and …..
*blood splash*
Blood splashed everywhere with some body part of Liu Lim, it was a scene of pure horror which made Han Yachun and a few men's vomit on the spot
"There are 3 things that I hate the most in the world…
One, when someone tries to take my money away
Two, when someone disrespects me
And three, when someone tries to put their hands on something that belongs to me including my bitches (girls)
I hope you all got my point, right?" Hao Jiazhi asked everyone,
All of them nodded lightly as they were full of fear so they couldn't move their body properly
Then, he started explaining things about the plan and jobs they have to do to everyone
Everyone clearly heard his plan all loud and clearly but few times, they also looked at the dead body of Liu Lim which is in small pieces
They all knew one thing in their life, Demons/Devils are real and the place they are in is a Devil's yard/nest

Race to the
Throne
Chapter 7: Free Money
The storage room is at the end of the property (Mansion) of Hao Jiazhi and has few more rooms in front
Also, the storage room had various objects that could block noise from traveling outside, thus no matter how much Liu Lim screamed… Nothing happened
Also, Hao Jiazhi had first thought to create a simple team with fighters but during his small training for swordsmanship, he learned that in this world there are people who excel in a different field and it's better to have more people who excel in their particular field rather than having one person excel in all field
Thus, he creates this name "5 Shadows" as there will be 5 heads or leaders who will excel in their particular field and also help each other to get the job done
This included Fighter's and Archer's, Assassination, Poison/medical, Blacksmith and Administrator/information collector team
Each team will help others to make sure that every objective they make or create, it is finished with a minimal amount of time and damage
Let's get back to the story now-
Mao Xue has chosen to take the position of Main Fighters as he has a good amount of fighting experience because he had some rough life, thus he is the 1st shadow
Fu Yu has decided to take the poison head position as he had worked in the medical field so he knows a little bit about poison and medicine stuff, thus he became the 3rd shadow
As for Meng Bai, his family works in the blacksmith field so he had taken the blacksmith position, becoming 4th shadow
And this is the reason why Hao Jiazhi said that these people are sent by gods as each person had one unique skill in them
Making his work easier than he could ask for
Now he only needs to find someone who has good administrator skill and also find a person who excels in the field of assassinations
"I am really enjoying this world" Hao Jiazhi said as he steps out of the storage room after explaining what they (his team) have to do in future
Hao Jiazhi is really happy right now, though he still misses his old days on earth as there he only had to use guns to get the job done, here he really needs some skill to pull things off
Still, the harder things get, the more Hao Jiazhi enjoys as the end result will surely taste good to him
Morning time-
Hao Jiazhi left the mansion with Han Yachun to take a stroll and left his 2 guards to stay inside the mansion
The reason for this is because, Hao Jiazhi wanted to create a scene where he will leave the place and from his behind, those 3 men will leave
And because those spies only keep eye on him, they won't think much about those 3 men or more particularly about the 4th person who is no longer in this world
After the stroll, Hao Jiazhi came back and as planned the guards came and told him that those 4 men have left the place after eating food
With a smile, Hao Jiazhi goes back to his room
Inside-
Hao Jiazhi sits on his seat, near the study table, and opens up a scroll/map
And looks at the place where he had marked in the very beginning of his plan, Jinyi
Jinyi is the biggest district (city/place, I will use the district rather than the city) in the whole province of Jinmen and this is the place where all food comes from
It's a BIG village area where almost 90% of the population only relies on farming and the other 10% have their own small business
What Hao Jiazhi plans is to send his men (those 3 men) with their team to bully those farmers and then take money in the name of protection fees
He had given them 6000 ban liang for gathering men and also equipment's to boost the morale of their men
As for the tax, he will be collecting, for farmers, it will be only 10 ban liang and for merchants, it will be 20 ban liang
The reason why he made the extortion money so small is that he doesn't want to make farmers scare to death and let them make any report to the local officers
It will be dangerous as he doesn't hold any power or connection so far, thus he only put small fear of those people and let them feel that they can get away by just paying a small amount
And human psychology will play the rest of the role
What is that?
Well, who wants to get into the mess of thugs and cops?
No one…
A common man just wants to live a happy life with no trouble, thus those people will surely think to solve the problem by just paying a small amount of money
No doubt, many will still hate it as they have very low income, eg. small farmers, but they won't do anything stupid as they fear the worst
Also, the amount of money may seem small as the tax will be collected only once in a month (not every day or week because he doesn't want to steer some problems in his first area where he will rule) because of the population
The farmer's population is more than 1000, and those merchants population is around 100 or so
Now, let's do the calculation, 100 x 20 = 2000
And, 1000 x 10 = 10,000
Total = 12,000 ban liang every month (its free money and don't forget, 100 ban liang is enough for a small family to survive as a basic necessity are cheap)
One thing Hao Jiazhi is really happy about is the military or law of this whole kingdom, as there are not many gangs of thugs around the place
Though there are bandits around the kingdom, but they rarely appear so…
He is free to do what he wants till he stays low-key and if he wants to make an appearance or show his organization, he has to make sure that he has enough power to hold the ground against all odds
"12,000 ban liang?....
Free money is always good" Hao Jiazhi said as he looks at the map and the future
