章節 168: The Red Skull Gang

"The sun sure feels nice today." In my disguise as Clark, I walked through the streets of the city and I put on a refreshing smile.

After a sleepless night with Daisy where we tried all the positions we thought about, my body felt really light. Daisy was becoming more and more proficient in lifting my mood. She truly was the perfect personal servant.

Talking about Daisy, her cultivation has shot through the roof. In the last week, she advanced from the third layer to the fourth layer peak, and last night, while we were intertwined in bed, her cultivation broke through once more to the fifth layer.

Of course, a big part of the reason her cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds is that I constantly use my mana to help her to cultivate. Moreover, each time we slept together, I use my proficiency in cultivation to purify her mana.

It was as though we were duo-cultivating, but all the benefices go to her. Mmm, in cultivation terms, I would be a cultivation cauldron.

In truth, even if I want to get benefices from sleeping together, it's impossible. Daisy's level is too low compared to me, and even if I absorb all her mana and vital energy, the improvement in cultivation I'll gain is not worth the cost.

Of course, I'll never do something like that.

After walking for a few minutes, I arrived at Red Skull's headquarter.

Two gang members standing guard on the door saluted me respectfully when they saw me. They put one hand on their forehead imitating earth's military salutes.

"Sir!"

I recognized the two of them as part of the group that has been training inside the space-time tunnen. As two of the people that know my strength the best, they were naturally much more respectful than the other gang members.

By the way, I was the one that taught them the military salute.

Next, I'm thinking of teaching them to answer 'Sir, yes, sir!'

I entered the headquarters and walked straight towards my office. Strangely, I did not see Raven around. Normally, she comes to meet me excitedly when she feels I'm nearby.

I can feel she is inside the headquarters, though, so I'm not worried.

A few minutes entered my office, one young man and a young woman entered.

The first one was Marana, that after the tough training inside the space-time tunnel, was one step away from breaking through to the ninth layer. With a bit of luck, she could advance in the next few days.

The second person was a bandaged but handsome young man. He was standing behind Marana and looking at me with a respectful expression.

"You are Cline, right?" I said while looking at him. "It's good to see that you are alright."

The young man nodded and then bowed deeply. "Many thanks, boss, for saving my life and helping my sisters."

"Don't mind it. You are my subordinate now, so It's normal to help you. If you want to thank me, then show it through your loyalty."

"I understand. Don't worry, boss! I'll promise you that I'll go through a mountain of blades or a sea of fire if you give the order!"

Marana heard those words and frowned, but seeing the look of admiration on her brother's face, she decided to remain silent.

She had observed my character during the last week, and although she was still a bit wary towards me, she admitted that I was treating them rather well.

After Cline finished his oath of loyalty, I smiled and asked. "Did you came here only to show your loyalty?"

Cline blushed. Compared to his sister, he seemed much more innocent and straightforward. I kind of understand why he preferred to die than being used as a hostage against his sister.

Hesitating for a while, Cline finally made up his mind to ask. "I- I want to know if I can participate in the special training my sisters are doing."

"Oh? Did you tell him about it?" I stared a Marana with a raised eyebrow.

"I can't tell him the details due to the contract, so I only tell him that it was a very hard and rigorous training." Marana answered.

I nodded in acknowledgment. "I see." I then observed Cline closely. I realized that although most of his wounds were mostly healed, he was not in perfect condition yet.

"Wait until your injuries are healed then come again." I decided.
