章節 86: Trouble, again?
Within just under an hour, the fragrant smell of luxurious and colorful dishes laid on the table, wafted in the air, tempting everyone who could indulge in their aroma. Khan stood before the table, a smug smile suffused on his face.
Soon, his head lifted and he stared at the entrance, his heightened senses caught the signs of a car approaching, inside the car were two, familiar life signatures. A slight smile leaked on his lips.
With the confirmation of the mansion's security system, the entrance opened, revealing the figures of Lily and the jet-black haired young woman that referred to herself as Twenty-One.
The expressions of the two women revealed their anxiousness towards the strange matter, especially about the weirdness of the men in black that acted politely towards them, even deeply bowing and giving them several elegant presents including a name card.
Khan only revealed a slight smile and sat down the chair before the table where the numerous dishes laid, the two entered the dining room and only until the men in black disappeared did they heave a sigh of relief and plopped down the couch.
Lily's expression frowned as she fell in deep thought and thought about the prowess that Khan mysteriously revealed back then at the Continent of Pride, an absurd notion formed in her mind, 'Could it be that, he's the one who forced our captors in releasing us?'
However, she soon shook her head when she saw the nonchalant smile on his lips, she stared at the line up of fragrant dishes and felt somewhat regretful about the fact that she ate at that place.
Khan revealed a slight smile and spoke in a curious tone, "Where did the two of you go? It's too dangerous for girls to walk at this time of the day, you two should at least tell me about your whereabouts." His expression became concerned.
Lily and the jet-black haired young woman's turned guilty, yet they didn't tell him the truth for they didn't want him to be needlessly caught in the matter and said, "The two of us just went to the mall, we felt cooped in here, so we took a stroll together."
Khan's eyes shone in complicated emotions, 'Hmm, it seems like they really think that I'll be bothered about that small matter, oh well, since that's what they want, I'll just go with the flow.' He pondered for a while before saying, "Okay, then, since I think that the two of you have already eaten, let's just settle the matter for Twenty-One's name."
The two became flustered, 'How does he know that we already ate?'
The former chuckled, "The reason why I knew that the two of you already ate was that in each time I cooked, both of you would always look tempted, but this time, that expression is gone, which only means one thing, both of you are already full!"
The expression of the two turned crimson and they became unable to refute his claims, but since Khan didn't push the matter any further, they sighed in relief and relaxed at the couch.
When Khan finished his meal, he placed the left-overs in a microwavable container and placed it inside the fridge, after this, he sat between the two beauties, but his hand, only held Lily's shoulder as he sat there in relaxation.
He buried his head on her shoulders and the intimate action of the two, startled the woman beside Khan as she sat there with a scarlet blush on her cheeks.
Lily visibly shivered upon the sudden sensation that appeared on her neck, especially when she felt Khan's hot breath hitting her at the side, she couldn't help but tremble.
"What the hell are you doing? We're not the only one here!" Lily scolded in a hushed tone, yet she didn't refute his actions which made the latter even bolder and licked.
A shriek echoed from her mouth and she pushed him aside, which made the latter chuckle as he stopped teasing her and said, "Okay, okay, I'll stop," His eyes landed on the gifts covered in plastic that the men in black gave towards the two.
"Hoooh, It seems like someone is trying to tempt my cute little wife," Khan revealed a slight smile, took a single package and opened it amidst the focused gaze of the two, but as he exposed the insides of the package, he became startled to find a pair of upper and lower body underwear that strangely glistened in a pinkish light.
Lily became embarrassed, especially when Khan dangled the string panties in the air, swaying it back and forth.
She immediately snatched it from his hand and hid it in her pockets, and Khan only revealed a slight smile of satisfaction as he then took the name card which revealed the following information.
[Perpetual Greed Pharmaceutical]
[Atoph Varkaant]
[Chief Executive Officer]
A mysterious smile suffused on his face as he said, "Lily, you stay here, I'll be going out for a while." He turned his head and kissed her on her lips which stunned the observing woman at the side.
When their heads parted, a string of translucent liquid indicated their earlier connection as Lily snapped it and said, "Where are you going this late?" She frowned, for she remembered the time where Khan went inside the Red-light district.
"I'm just going for a stroll, don't worry about me and sleep first." He left these words before heading towards the entrance, leaving the pouting Lily behind.
Khan left the mansion and strolled in the streets, heading towards the address indicated behind the name card.
It took him half an hour before arriving before the manor where the middle-aged man stayed, when he went before the entrance, several men in black stopped him on his tracks, but with just a flick of the name card, they respectfully welcomed him.
When he entered, he found that the manor was heavily guarded, numerous men in black would scurry around in full alert, on their waist, plastered a glistening hand-gun, one could say that all of them were armed, but because of the name card that Khan had in his hands, he continued unimpeded until he arrived before the dual-entry door of the manor.
He was met with a flustered man whom he recognized as the person that he fought earlier, with a respectful smile, he was welcomed and given a warm reception, but Khan declined, instead, he went on and wanted to talk with the middle-aged man, alone.
Per his request, the middle-aged man arranged a silent room with only the fragrance of tea and a small table before them, Khan's expression revealed a nonchalant smile while the middle-aged man looked fidgety as he sat there with cold sweat running through his back.
'Fuck, just what does he want me to do?' He inwardly thought.
Khan noticed his anxiety, but he only revealed a slight smile filled with expectations and said, "According to the name card that you gave, you're the one who governs the Perpetual Greed General Hospital, right?"
The middle-aged man startled, beaded sweat formed on his forehead as he rapidly simulated in his mind, the best course of action that he should take to avoid the ire of the young man before him, however, he soon understood that it was useless to lie under the young man's observation and could only squeeze out the following reply.
"Yes, I am the one... that manages that hospital..."
"I see, then you're also aware of the horrendous experiments that your subordinates did, right?" Khan dropped this bombshell and the middle-aged man's eyes glanced at him and the gazes of the two met in mid-air, the other filled with utmost terror and the other, filled with complete indifference towards the matter.
After about an incense stick of time, the middle-aged man spoke in a small tone, "Yes, I am aware of it." He closed his eyes in expectations that Khan would immediately annihilate him out of existence. But after about several seconds have passed, he noticed that the young man just sat there, calmly sipping his tea.
"You don't need to be that anxious since you're under my wing, I won't do something that is illogical." He spoke in an indifferent tone, assuring the former that he wouldn't kill him, "Also, I understand the reason why you did all of those things," A solemn light flashed within the youth's eyes.
"It was the pursuit of knowledge, right?"
Khan sighed amidst the middle-aged man's stunned gaze. His expression turned cloudy as he remembered the time where he stupidly went on a pursuit of power, killing everyone that barred his path, avenging his family and stepping unto the peak of cultivation.
Although he achieved his goal, he lost 'her' in the process.
The light within his eyes indicated the experiences that the youth had that went contrary to his age, but despite that, the middle-aged man felt that everything that the young man experienced, actually happened, and because of this, he couldn't help but somewhat feel somber.
Noticing that he indulged in melancholic reminiscence, Khan shook his head and cleared his mind, returning to the matter at hand, he spoke, "According to the name card, your organization works in the field of medicine, right?"
The middle-aged man also regained his calm and upon hearing his words, he nodded.
"Yes, my company creates medicines, ranging from fever medicines to tuberculosis, but our forte is feminine products."
"I see, then that works quite good in my advantage since I came here to create some connections, I would like to acquire some information regarding Magic Engineering and Diamond Class Magicians."
The middle-aged man's expression became weird and fidgety, his cheeks even faintly shone in a scarlet light as he shamefully said, "I do have some, but..." He stared at Khan in a light that indicated something.
Khan only chuckled in response, "I understand, then in exchange, I will give you a cultivation method that will send you to the peak of the Divine Ascendance Realm." He flicked his wrist, sending a dilapidated book towards the middle-aged man's direction.
The latter caught the book in mid-air, took a quick glance at it and when he finished, his expression looked flushed as he hurriedly pressed some buttons under a table, revealing a flash drive that he handed over to Khan.
His quick actions made the latter, reveal a wry smile.
Because they reached an agreement, the two talked to each other, laughing and smiling at the process. If there was a third party observing at the side, they would think that they were close friends that had just met each other after a long time of separation.
But as they discussed, a deafening boom echoed from the outside of the manor, shaking the room where they stayed in. Khan's expression abruptly turned solemn while the middle-aged man's visage distorted into anger.
They walked outside and found that another middle-aged man with a brilliant golden hair accompanied by several armed men in azure clothes.
The middle-aged man stared at this commotion, his pupils constricting in the process, "Old Azure Dragon! What the hell are you doing, rushing in here?!"
Old Azure Dragon boisterously laughed, "Do you really think that I didn't receive the news that you received quite a big blow from that mysterious enemy of yours that attacked your men at the hospital?" He sneered as he reached the end of his sentence.
"Then, do you also think that just because I lost those guys, that I can't defend against you?" The middle-aged man retorted.
"Hahaha, yeah, I do know about your prowess, but right now, it looks like you're greatly weakened, especially your face that looks like a pighead." The former insulted which further infuriated the latter.
Because of this display, the men of the two parties pointed the barrels of their weapons at each other as a tensed atmosphere whirled around the vicinity, meanwhile, Khan's lips twitched, 'Fuck, I only came here to retrieve some information so that I can experiment, but why is trouble, following me?!'
He could only sigh as he stared at this commotion.
