Martial Arts Godhood: At the Start, Rebels Asked Me to Be an Undercover Agent
Chapter 12: The News Brought by Aries
"Then, Master and Senior Brother, I'll be leaving now." Xiao Wang stood up, bowed respectfully to the three of them, and prepared to leave the martial arts school.
"Junior brother, please wait a moment."
Before leaving, his second senior brother, Linghu Ke, suddenly called out to him, "Junior Brother Xiao, since this is our first meeting, as your senior brother, I should give you a gift. Consider it a small token of our greeting, and please don't find it offensive."
As Linghu Ke spoke, he drew a dagger from his waist and handed it to Xiao Wang. "This is a dagger I've used for ten years. Don't be fooled by its worn appearance; it's incredibly sharp for cutting throats and wrists. The outer city isn't safe, especially at night. Consider this a weapon for self-defense."
"Second Senior Brother, this..."
"Just take it when I tell you to," Linghu Ke insisted.
"Thank you, Second Senior Brother."
Xiao Wang felt a warmth in his heart. This second senior brother seemed cold and didn't talk much, but he didn't expect him to be such a warm-hearted man.
After receiving Linghu Ke's dagger, Xiao Wang did not rush to leave. This gave him a new perspective, and he then turned his attention to Wei Zhongxing.
"Master, about the gift..."
Tuition is 10,000 federal dollars a month; every penny recouped is a penny earned.
"Get lost."
"Alright, this disciple takes his leave."
The difference between a human face and a beast's heart, and a human heart and a beast's face, is obvious at a glance.
After bowing once more, Xiao Wang left the Zhongxing Martial Arts School and headed home.
After Xiao Wang left, Linghu Ke looked at Wei Zhongxing and said, "Master, can you buy a new dagger this time? I don't have a suitable weapon for self-defense."
"Buy my ass, we haven't made any money in ages."
"Master, didn't you just collect 10,000 Federal Credits from your junior brother as tuition?"
"Speaking of this makes me angry. He took out 10,000 Federal Dollars so easily, which is obviously less than what he asked for. And you," Wei Zhongxing looked at Cheng Hu, "you spent so much time with him beforehand, didn't you notice anything? You didn't even remind me when it came time to ask for tuition."
Cheng Hu replied innocently, "Master, I really didn't see that he was rich. Besides, he's still a student."
"No, we need to find a way to raise the tuition next month. Do you think charging him 20,000 a month isn't excessive?"
Cheng Hu: "Master, isn't this a bit too much?"
Linghu Ke: "I don't think it's a big problem."
……
Xiao Wang put the dagger into his bag. He was in a good mood. He had successfully found the martial arts school and become an apprentice. His master and senior brothers were also good.
Especially the second senior brother, although he doesn't talk much, he is clearly a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
However, the tuition fee of 10,000 Federal Dollars per month is a considerable burden. There are still four months until the entrance exam for Yuanshan Martial Arts Academy. The tuition fee for the martial arts school plus the tuition fee for the martial arts academy will cost at least 130,000 Federal Dollars.
"We're still a long way off," Xiao Wang thought to himself.
As I was thinking, I unconsciously quickened my pace.
Xiao Wang tried to walk in the shadows of the street, and also put the hood of his clothes on his head, making his face almost invisible in the dim light.
The nights in the outer city are far from peaceful. Despite the presence of the police, criminal cases are frequent. Not to mention fights and robberies, even murders are not uncommon.
Sometimes, you can even hear about shootings on the radio.
It should be noted that, on the surface, firearms are federally controlled weapons.
After walking along the shadows for a while, as they reached a corner, three figures suddenly darted out from the alleyway beside them.
And it blocked Xiao Wang's way.
Xiao Wang glanced at the three of them, then turned around, intending to take a long detour to bypass them.
But just as he changed direction and took two steps, one of the three stepped forward and blocked his way.
"Young man, just give us all the money you have. We don't want any trouble. It's better for everyone to avoid problems, don't you think?"
Xiao Wang listened but ignored the three of them, and instead changed direction, wanting to continue forward.
But the other party blocked his way again, and one of them grabbed his collar and pushed him backward.
Xiao Wang took a few steps back.
"You can't understand me, can you?"
Xiao Wang stood still, moved his backpack from behind to in front of him, and slowly unzipped it, reaching his right hand inside.
The three of them had already surrounded Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang glanced at the three men. He had already judged from observing their gait that they must have only learned martial arts for a few days.
For some reason, his master Wei Zhongxing's words suddenly popped into his mind: the most important thing in martial arts is to disregard martial ethics.
When the three of them saw him unzip his bag, they initially thought Xiao Wang was taking out money. However, after seeing his hand remain motionless inside the bag for a long time, they immediately became wary.
"Rob."
Suddenly, one of them spoke up.
The three immediately surrounded Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang immediately drew his dagger, gripped it tightly with his right hand, and at the same time grabbed the hand of someone who was attacking him with his left hand.
As he turned his body to the side, the blade of the dagger slashed upwards along the opponent's wrist.
Swish!
A sharp, slicing sound rang out.
Extremely fast, with fluid and graceful movements.
The next second, a spurt of blood gushed out.
Immediately afterwards, a scream rang out.
The sound echoed throughout the empty street.
But Xiao Wang's actions did not stop. He turned twice more, flashing past the other two people. As he flashed past, the dagger in his hand was plunged into the kidneys of the two men.
He then sheathed his dagger, put it back in his bag, and continued walking home without looking back.
Behind him, a chorus of wails rose and fell.
"Quick, quick, tear off my clothes and tie them to stop the bleeding!"
"Damn it, my kidneys."
Hearing the painful wails behind him, Xiao Wang walked away without turning back.
"Damn it, you really can't talk about martial ethics."
"It seems my second senior brother wasn't lying to me; this dagger is indeed effective."
Thinking to himself, Xiao Wang strode forward and soon arrived at the Resistance Avenue.
It's much safer here, since we're right in front of the inner city gate. People have caused trouble here before and were shot dead on the spot by snipers on the city wall.
Xiao Wang turned his head and glanced at the inner city wall. Under the cover of night, the towering wall looked even more imposing. Searchlights swayed back and forth on it, and heavily armed Federal soldiers patrolled around.
Turning left at the fourth intersection of Resistance Avenue, Xiao Wang entered Baowei Road, where his home was located, and only then did he relax his vigilance slightly.
Using the light of the streetlamp, he checked himself over to make sure there was no blood on him before continuing on his way.
"Um?"
As he walked, he saw a white figure standing not far from his building.
Xiao Wang slowed his pace. He looked at the white figure and felt that it was somewhat familiar.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an Aries, just as it had suspected.
At this moment, Aries is still wearing a white suit, a white hat, white leather shoes, and leaning on a black cane.
Xiao Wang stepped forward. "What brings you here?"
Xiao Wang was not surprised at all that Aries knew his home address.
"Didn't I say last time that I would give you another gift?"
"Have you found a second person?" Xiao Wang asked anxiously.
Aries pulled a slip of paper from inside his suit and handed it to Xiao Wang. "He might be transferred to the inner city in a month, so if you don't think you can get into the inner city, you only have one month."
After Aries finished speaking, he leaned on his cane and walked away.
"Wait a minute," Xiao Wang called out to the other person.
"Is there anything else?"
"Can you help with the cleanup this time too?"
Aries glanced at Xiao Wang, "You have no bargaining chips."
After saying that, Aries continued walking forward.
"One last question."
Aries stopped again and turned to look at Xiao Wang.
"With your obvious disguise, are you really a rebel spy?"
"The truly wise live in seclusion amidst the bustling city."
After Aries finished speaking, he quickly disappeared from Xiao Wang's sight.
Xiao Wang withdrew his gaze, opened the note Bai Yang had given him, and looked at the information on it, a hint of shock showing through his murderous aura.
