章 58: End of the Blood Mercenary Gang

Everyone else behind Zhao Yan were dumbstruck as they heard the devil speaking. Ryusei looked towards them with a smile of a salesman and said, "Alright, I have an interesting proposition for all of you. As you have already seen, I am stronger than your leader and I can easily finish off your leader. So, I will give you guys an offer to join me and become my underlings."

All of them shocked speechless as they heard the offer. Suddenly, a bald man from the Blood Mercenary Gang laughed at him and said, "What a joke? You think I would work under a snot nosed brat who's still wet behind his ears. Count me out brat."

Ryusei didn't even look at him as he continued advertising his offer, "I will provide you food and a fixed salary for the whole year. But there will be some some restrictions of course. First, you cannot go and irritate or kill some innocent people. If I found out about that, then that person should forget about living. This is not just a warning but final verdict."

Many men started speaking, "I don't think I will join this boy. Even though he is stronger than leader. His conditions make me think that I won't have much freedom to do anything I like in the Town as I have with leader Zhao right now."

Many people out of those 100 supported his line of thought as they were all ruffians and thugs till now, they were doing anything as they pleased in this town. They didn't want to join someone who wanted to restrict them from doing as they please.

Ryusei wasn't discouraged as he heard them, he knew that he was a bit too ambitious in trying make them with restrictions. But then he heard someone from the crowd speaking, "I will join this young brother."

All lackeys were surprised as they heard his voice and turned towards him with hostility as they felt that it was a betrayal towards the Gang. The man seemed to be unaffected by their stares and said, "I have been in the Blood Mercenary Gang for a whole year and I haven't seen them do anything which is of use."

"You guys just drink, bully and rob some common people and rape their daughter, wife or sisters. I only joined because I didn't have any other source of income. I am now leaving this stupid gang because it doesn't seem to be compatible with my tastes."

He then looked towards Ryusei and said, "Think about it everyone. This young brother is so young and is already so much stronger than our Chief. He can let lead us to become stronger, so why shouldn't I join him. I am already sick of the way the Blood Mercenary Gang operates so I will be joining this young brother."

"Alright, stand underneath that tree beside you." Ryusei said while pointing out the tree. The man nodded and split from the group. Ryusei once again turned his vision towards the members of the Blood Mercenary Gang and offered for the last time, "Anyone, who wants to join me and share same views as him, can stand beside him. Remember this is completely voluntary and nothing will be happening to those who don't choose anything."

While many were confused, others who shared that man's thinking started to move beside him. After few minutes, there were a total of 25 people standing beside the tree and then Ryusei looked towards Lin Yanluo and said, "Let me show you a bit of my power now."

Everyone got confused as to why was he going to show his powers? They looked at him curiously but they were scared afterwards.

Ryusei without caring about others, created a terrifying Thunderfire Dragon which coiled around him. Its piercing gaze looked towards Zhao Yan and the other 75 people behind him. They were shocked by the amount of strength used in just a single Spirit Ability, they gulped collectively as they had a bad premonition. But, one of them gathered some courage and asked while stuttering, "Y-You said i-it was completely vo-voluntary. They why?"

Ryusei chuckled with ridicule, "I did say that it was voluntary, but I also said that I won't do anything to those who won't choose anything that means those who would leave the Blood Mercenary Gang and didn't choose between either of us but you chose Zhao Yun and his Blood Mercenary Gang. That was a mistake." With that he hurled the Thunderfire Dragon, it rushed towards Zhao Yun who tried to protect himself by using his ability Scorpion Guard.

This ability was a joke for the Thunderfire Dragon who had power to damage a 100,000-year-old-Beast then what's to say of a Spirit Emperor who was using a pitiful 100-year-old Spirit Ability.

The Thunderfire Dragon completely swallowed the whole group and destroyed every cell of their body. After some time, the field was empty as their bodies had turned to ashes. They were completely eradicated by the Thunderfire Dragon.

Lin Yanluo was dumbfounded by Ryusei's strength, he clearly didn't expect that the boy who seemed a year or two older than himself was actually strong enough to annihilate the whole Blood Mercenary Gang by himself.

While the bunch that had decided to split from the group were drenched with cold sweat as they were terrified by the show of strength. They rejoiced inwardly that they had chosen to leave the group otherwise they would have turned to ashes as well.

Meanwhile, Ryusei didn't really care much about it. He never intended to leave those scumbags alive. They were just trash of the society, so might as well clean them before they commit anymore crimes.

Ryusei then looked at remaining 25 men who were drenched in cold sweat at their new lord's terrifying strength. He called them come near.

They immediately ran towards Ryusei and bowed respectfully in front of him while one of them asked, "Lord, what would you like for us to do?"

"All of you shall be the members of the Eclipse Pagoda organization. And I will train you guys to be an Assassin and a great fighter until I'm satisfied. After that, you will train your juniors who will join afterwards and complete the missions assigned to you." Ryusei said as he had already decided the next of his strategy.

"You can call me by the 'Heavenly Dragon Emperor' or 'Dragon Emperor' for short."

All of them nodded in compliance and loudly replied, "As you wish, Lord Dragon Emperor. We shall abide."

Ryusei nodded with satisfaction and gave each of them some weights similar to Yanluo's and said, "You have about 7 days, get used to these weights. You will be living in Bright Silver Inn from now on. I will have everything prepared for you."

All of them nodded as they were a bit surprised that he was letting them stay in Bright Silver Inn. It was one of the most expensive inns in the Bright Silver Town. Every single room was expensive and much better than most of the noble's mansions.

Ryusei himself lived in Star Lou Inn with Rongrong, it was the best Inn in whole town. But there was a considerable distance between the two inns, that's why Ryusei let them stay there.

He still didn't fully trust them and wanted to observe before letting them meet Rongrong or giving them any other tasks. He decided that he would observe them for about 3 weeks after which he will judge their loyalty.

After monitoring their training for some time, he approached the Town Lord of the Bright Silver Town. This time, he went through the front door without his mask and his cloak. After around half an hour, he finally saw the Town Lord.

Town Lord didn't recognize him and asked him impatiently, "What do you wish to talk about? I am busy right now and I have an important meeting so speak quickly."

Ryusei chuckled at his rude behaviour and said, "Town Lord, I am sure that you remember this, right?" Purple Lightning flickering on top of his hand. Town Lord immediately stood up, colour drained from his face as he stared at Ryusei.

Town Lord was reminded about that night when he was kidnapped by Ryusei and sometimes even had nightmares about it. How could he forget this purple Lightning?

He stared at Ryusei with hostility and asked warily, "Why have you come here? I already told you everything I know about the mysterious expert."

"Relax, it's nothing serious like that. I just came here to ask of you to arrange rooms for 26 men in Bright Silver Inn. I know that it belongs to you so don't try to refuse it. I am sure that you can do me this small favour." Ryusei replied with a faint smile.
