Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Norton and the others discussed the Treis family clan matter for a long time. It was not until the latter half of the night that they came to a conclusion. Then, the thief, who could disguise himself, was released. Of course, his release must have been done deliberately by the Nicholas family.
Just as the other party was released, Sothai also followed him out. Sothai was Norton’s second son and did not participate in the family’s businesses. However, he was very talented in cultivation, so he was allowed to run a martial arts school. Some of the guards and protection merchandise shops in his family clan had all come from the martial arts school. Sothai had been following the other party secretly. Currently, Sothai was at the level-9 Mage realm. He was completely not someone the other party could compare with. Therefore, the other party had not discovered him all this while.
Soon, the other party entered a hotel. Sothai immediately got someone to pretend to be a guest in the hotel and follow him in. The person saw the other party register and knew the other party’s room number. He chose the room next door.
He arranged for his subordinates to keep an eye on this thief and not to alert him. All they had to do was to keep an eye on him and see who was in contact with him. Then, Sothai returned to the Nicholas family.
Sothai told Norton everything. Norton nodded and said, “Yes, you’ve done well. Next, you must be on the alert and keep an eye on that thief. He knows how to disguise himself. You can’t let him escape under your watch. We’re fishing, but we don’t want the bait to be gone before the fish is caught.”
“I understand, Father. I definitely won’t disappoint you,” Sothai immediately assured.
In fact, Norton also knew that this plan would most likely not succeed, because the thief had not come alone to steal. Instead, there had been at least two persons, and one had kept watch outside. Now that he had only caught this thief, the person who had acted as a lookout must have fled. In this case, it would be very difficult for this fishing plan to succeed. However, he had to at least give it a try.
Early the next morning, Sothai’s subordinates came down to report to him that the thief had not stirred much since he entered his room yesterday to rest. He had been sleeping. In the morning, he was seen having his meal. Everything was under control, but the fishing had not succeeded. Sothai asked them to continue their surveillance. Then, Sothai went to the martial arts school himself.
Sothai was in charge of the martial arts school of the Nicholas family clan. Previously, he basically lived and ate in the martial arts school. He liked the atmosphere of the martial arts school, and even many of the younger generation of the Nicholas family clan had studied in the martial arts school in the beginning. However, recently, as the family clan had a special effect of increasing cultivation speed by tenfold, cultivating at home was much faster than cultivating in the martial arts school. As a result, he basically did not stay in the martial arts school anymore. He only went to take a look in the morning and evening, and then immediately returned to the family clan to cultivate. The others were basically doing the same.
“Kwoon Master!”
“Kwoon Master!”
When Sothai entered the martial arts school, the people in the school immediately bowed respectfully and greeted him. Sothai returned each greeting. He saw that the martial arts school was already packed with people and even felt a little crowded. He was very pleased with this. This was mainly because during this period of time, the Nicholas family clan had risen up strongly, and this had brought in more students to his martial arts school. In the past, he had to rely on his family to support him, but now, just the fees from the students would make the martial arts school self-sufficient.
After Sothai had entered his room, two well-built subordinates immediately came in. These two subordinates were not only skilled in martial arts, they had also learned the essence of the Tai Chi and San Shou techniques of the Nicholas family clan. They had even been bestowed with meditation techniques, allowing them to successfully advance to become a Mage. These two, one was a level-2 and the other a level-3 Mage. They were both of very good caliber and were Sothai’s right-hand men. When he was not in the martial arts school, it was these two who managed everything in the martial arts school.
“Kwoon Master, another five students have come to register today. Our martial arts school is almost unable to hold so many students now. Kwoon Master, do you want to temporarily halt the enrollment of students?” One of them asked.
Sothai was stunned. In the past, he had been vexed by the lack of students. Now, he was actually vexed by the number of students. This change was too drastic. Sothai thought for a moment and said, “Enroll, continue to enroll the students. If this place really cannot hold any more, then buy the two residences next door and behind us. I see that no one has lived in those two residences. Go and inquire who the owners of these two residences are, and then discuss with them. Money is not an issue.”
“Got it, Kwoon Master. I’ll do it after this,” the person immediately replied.
Just as Sothai was about to give some instructions on other matters, he suddenly heard a commotion outside. Sothai immediately frowned. Those in his martial arts school were very well-disciplined when they practiced martial arts. They would not make such loud noises. Hence, Sothai led his two subordinates out to see what had happened.
Sothai saw someone push open the gate directly. Then, a young man with a high nose and deep-set eyes, who looked like an eagle, and a middle-aged man walked in. A group of subordinates followed behind them. When the young man came in, he looked at everything in the martial arts school with disdain and arrogance. It was obvious that he was not a good person. Sure enough, just as everyone was wondering who the person was, they heard the young man say arrogantly, “Call your Kwoon Master out!”
At this moment, Sothai had already come out with his two subordinates. At this moment, he could already tell that the other party had come with ill intentions. He immediately walked up and said, “I am the Kwoon Master here. May I know why you have come here?”
The young man sized up Sothai with his eagle-like eyes, which were full of disdain. Then, he raised his neck and said arrogantly, “Hello, I am Ramu Treis. I have come to your martial arts school today to have a duel with you.”
When the students of the martial arts school heard this, they were instantly in an uproar. They had not expected that this person would actually come to challenge the martial arts school. That’s right, it was to challenge the martial arts school. Although they had heard previously that running a martial arts school would lead to such an incident, they had not expected that they would really encounter it. The students who had studied here for a period of time and had feelings for the martial arts school were all furious when they heard this. However, those who had just come to the martial arts school were all excited because they did not have any feelings for the martial arts school at all.. They just wanted to see who would win this challenge.
