Chapter 17: One Eye
Things went quite smoothly. The Hirosue family did not need to bring those people over personally, and the group was not like the ones shown in TV dramas with a large number of trusted and loyal followers. In fact, most of them were salaried workers. There were some trusted followers, but they could not be sure that they could keep complete secrets. The reason why Hirosue Nobuo took over Nakai Hayabusa was just that Shiraishi Kou wanted to see how agile they were.
As for the other hidden members, Shiraishi Ko directly asked them to go to the hotel rooms owned by the Hirosue family. Unless there were special circumstances, there was no need to gather them together. In this way, even if one or two were exposed, the Hua Nishiki Group could use lax management as an excuse.
A few days later, in the conference room of Hananishiki Onsen Hotel, witnessed by Nakai Hayabusa and Kyugoho, Hirosue Nobuo and Hirosue Hideyasu performed the initiation ceremony.
Guang Moliang Gong was standing below, and she secretly looked at the Holy Infant duo without making any expression.
The ceremony is very simple, requiring only a show of loyalty, and is not as solemn as the worship of some religions.
". In view of your father and son's meritorious service in protecting fellow members, on behalf of the Holy Infant, I will grant each of you a Holy Child Pill as a reward."
"Thank you, Holy Infant, thank you, Protector Nine, thank you, President."
The two carefully took the Holy Son Pill.
Is this the Holy Child Pill that the entire upper class is salivating over now? It seems to have come a little too easily. Guang Mo Liang Gong, who was watching from the sidelines, thought so, but she guessed that since she could give it and take it away, whether the Holy Child Pill could work depended entirely on the thought of the Holy Infant.
As the son, Hirosue Hideyasu was the first to swallow it in one gulp.
Adapted the [Rigid Body] [Regeneration] capabilities, it’s ok.
Seeing that his son's face was becoming more youthful and rosy, Hirosue Nobuo did not wait long and swallowed the pill.
Then he experienced the wonderful feeling of the lost youthful energy gradually returning, a joy and excitement that young people who had never lost it could hardly understand.
The Ninth Protector looked at the still intoxicated Hirosue Nobuo with some surprise. He could actually adapt the ability of [Attack and Defense in One] even though he was already a seventy-year-old man. Looking at Nakai Hayabusa next to him, he was also a little old man. Could it be that old men were more likely to adapt to abilities?
Is the Holy Infant Society going to change its name to Laotoule?
Bai Shihang only activated the abilities of [Rigid Body] and [Regeneration] for him. Unless there is a plan to let him fight, he does not plan to give him more abilities for the time being.
After completing the initiation ceremony, several people began to communicate with each other.
"How do you know for sure that I will see this news?" The Ninth Protector looked at the girl in front of him.
With her fair skin, slim figure and charming face, she is the standard template of a rich girl. The only thing that doesn't fit her profile is that she looks too "charming". However, years of training have enabled her to suppress her charm with her temperament, which actually adds a different kind of charm to her.
"Master Protector, when I saw the investigation team arresting the company for the first time, most members were able to prepare a few days in advance, so I thought that the president and the Master Protector must attach great importance to the information or have other sources of information, so I suggested that the family contact you in that way." Guang Sue Liang Gong spoke slowly, wondering if he shot the arrow first and then drew the target, focusing the credit on the protector and the leader.
The Ninth Dharma Protector nodded and did not ask any more questions. Sometimes, many strategies are just gambles. If you win, then it is 100% certain, and you have planned everything out. If you fail, then you are a defeated general.
"My lords, there are many financial groups that are interested in joining our company. Do we need to bring in some valuable people?" Hirosue Hideyasu looked at his father and asked the two of them.
The Ninth Guardian shook his head: "Not for now, but you can make a list."
The Holy Infant Society will be quiet for a while. Bai Shihang plans to use other forces to attract the official attention and make them believe that extraordinary people are emerging, not just the Holy Infant Society. In this way, the pressure faced by the Holy Infant Society will be reduced, and the voices eager for cooperation will become louder.
"So, my two lords, what do we need to do to help the company?" Hirosue Nobuo said.
"Find a larger warehouse and buy a batch of animals according to my requirements." The Ninth Protector planned to resume biological experiments.
Due to his original character, he could not buy a large number of animals, nor did he have a large enough place to conduct experiments, so it was much more convenient for him to conduct experiments using the identity of the Ninth Protector.
"Yes." One-Eye escaped from Adachi to Saitama and hid in the mountains and forests. The two-legged beasts that seemed to occupy the world gradually became scarce.
It didn't know why it had become so powerful. All the wild cats and dogs were no match to it. Even the bipeds could be knocked down with one blow.
So the escape, which lasted only a few days, was quite good.
When they are hungry, bipeds have plenty of food to eat. When they are tired, all they need is a place to lie down.
But it still couldn't adapt to the two-legged beasts, and the pain made it remember its original anger.
I was afraid that one day I would wake up and find myself bound by the bipeds again, without the power to resist.
And this fear has reached its peak today.
The end of April.
The rainy season is finally over and the sun is shining.
People are praising the sun one second, and the next they think it is too hot and complain why it is not cloudy.
In the woods, a calico cat emerged from a tree hole. Its body was covered with scars and one of its eyes was blind, but its aura was as majestic and powerful as a lion overlooking its territory.
Behind it, a series of childish meows were heard, interrupting One Eye's movement to look around the territory.
Following the light and looking towards the tree hole, there were three staggering kittens and a mother cat.
One Eye is a little different from other independent male cats. He seems to value his offspring very much. He takes care of and protects the female cat from pregnancy to birth.
Ordinary female cats may not allow male cats to approach their children, but One Eye is obviously different from other male cats. The difference in fighting power is too great. The female cat is simply unable to resist. Over time, she has adapted to One Eye's care.
After playing with the children for a while, One-Eye decided to go hunting in the woods.
When I came out, I saw a two-legged animal child hiding behind a tree in the distance.
Since the child discovered it, he would come to check on it every once in a while and leave some food for it from time to time, but the child never touched it.
I tried to drive it away several times, but it always kept a distance from me. After a while, I just ignored it.
Leaping between the mountains and forests, Yiyan releases its wildness and strength to the fullest. In this forest, it is at the top of the food chain. What it wants to eat depends on its mood that day.
It was as if it wanted to eat fish today, so it headed towards a pond in a valley somewhere.
It took him half an hour to get there. He dived into the pond without any fear of water, looking for small fish to fill his stomach.
After he was about 60% full, he left the pond, found a rabbit hole, killed a rabbit, and went home with the trophy in his mouth.
It was almost noon, and when Yitui had almost returned to the tree hole, he smelled a smell that he instinctively hated.
It quickened its pace and rushed to the tree hole, but heard no meow to greet it. It looked inside and found that the tree hole was empty.
