Chapter 273: Report, Things have started moving
What Tianlong Xia was paying attention to right now were two highly dressed shadows that were following them from behind.
She was feeling some weak energy fluctuations from them, but those were really weak. Intentionally she slowed down a bit so that she could have a look at them with her spiritual sense.
Normally, cultivators were really sensitive beings and would notice it easily if they were being checked by someone with their spiritual sense.
But that didn't hold for people like Tianlong Xia who were able to stealth their spirit sense in the air fluctuations, and they could check whoever they wanted, without being noticed.
For that specific reason, Tianlong Xia lowered her speed and was slowly getting closer and closer to the people tailing her and Gao Ling.
When she was around 20 meters away from them she slowly activated her spirit sense, wider and wider until she reached those two people.
From what she was able to sense from the two of them, they were both women, their looks were average, and their cultivations also.
One of them was the 3rd level Qi Refining Realm cultivator, and the other was even weaker at only the 2nd level Qi Refining Realm cultivator.
She didn't know why they were tailing her and Gao Ling, but they were too weak to have been sent from a big organization. And they just started following them at the entrance of the city.
No matter how you looked at it, they had no connection whatsoever with what happened at the now canyon. Getting to this conclusion, Tianlong Xia relaxed a bit and just continued her way.
Jiang Bo was supposed to be on the way, and accompany them from the shadows, but he got a new mental message, telling them to secure the two tails.
Without losing much time, Tianlong Xia made for 'the Mansion' accompanied by Gao Ling, while Jiang Bo was behind them with the two tails.
As soon as she arrived at the underground facility of 'the Mansion' Tianlong Xia called for a meeting. She had to know what had happened in these 10 days around here.
Immediately after entering the meeting room, she turned towards Tianlong Hu Die and said,
Tianlong Xia:" Die'er give me a briefing on what has happened around here."
Tianlong Hu Die on the other hand was prepared for this situation and immediately started,
Tianlong Hu Die:" After your disappearance Big Sister Xia, big clouds gathered in the surroundings, and after that everyone could feel a big pressure in the air.
The phenomena lasted around 4-5 hours, but the worst came after that. 4 different kinds of clouds seemed to clash with each other, turning the mountainous area there into a canyon.
We are still in the dark as to who it was, or how it happened!"
Then pausing for a moment to look Tianlong Xia natural expression she continued,
Tianlong Hu Die:" Since we had no idea what was going on, we wanted to send a team to investigate on the borders, but after Master's message to stay away, we didn't.
Even though we were worried about the situation, we decided to concentrate on the situation around the city, and our duties.
We managed to keep the city under control, and all the staged up-risings were destroyed and annihilated easily by our shadows.
The city is still under our control."
Again she paused to see the reaction on Tianlong Xia's face, and she was happy to see that her look seemed a bit more relaxed right now.
Taking a deep breath, and relaxing at the same time she continued,
Tianlong Hu Die:" On another topic, our companies have started the preparations to put in the market the products that Master told them to.
We have already started with the advertisement for beauty care, wine, fashion, and the new chain of restaurants, people want to reserve in advance, but we accepted no orders.
We also made it clear that the products would be in a limited number, and they can only be bought in our stores on the opening day.
As for the chain of restaurants, the chef's have been introduced to our recipes and are being trained in those. There have been a few cheating and stealing tries, but we have it under control."
Tianlong Xia was satisfied with this report, this meant that even when she or Tianlong Yun wasn't around the foundation could work with each other and complete their orders.
Looking at Tianlong Hu Die she said,
Tianlong Xia:" Well done Die'er! You have done a really good job.
Just like we had decided earlier, Chu Fan will deal with our winery.
Mu Xiya will deal with the beauty care products but make sure to place good guards around her, and her companies. We may believe in her at the moment, but not in the people around her.
Bing'er will take care of the fashion department, including the new designs for clothes and accessories.
Tianlong Xiangyun will deal with the new chain of restaurants. She has enough experience and intelligence to take care of it on her own."
Then pausing for a moment, and being reminded of something she asked,
Tianlong Xia:" What about our operations in Africa, were we able to secure those things?"
Hearing her words, Tianlong Hu Die took another file from the files on the desk and said,
Tianlong Hu Die:" Our mercenary teams in there have been able to secure two small diamond mines, but their output is zero at the moment since we don't have the manpower to use them.
The local dons are trying to attack us and take those back. It's really hard going against them since they have backing from the big organizations.
The gold mines are in the same situation as well. Apparently, no engineer wants to work with us in there so we can extract the gold and diamonds."
Thinking for a moment, Tianlong Xia looked her in the eyes, and said,
Tianlong Xia:" Well since no one there wants to work with us, let us send our people from here. Also, give some engineered training to our troops so they don't get fooled in there.
Make the preparations to send only people with a clean history, and that can be trusted or easily controlled by us.
That industry is going to be an important part of our revenues."
Then she continued,
Tianlong Xia:" Also tell our people that when they mine for diamonds and gold they should check for other precious materials, and let them for our inspection.
Who knows what we may find in those places.
As soon as we secure the personnel I will go there personally to have a look at the situation, and why not take some other spots under our control.
By the way, how is our training camp going?"
Once again Tianlong Hu Die took another file from the pile of files and started the briefing,
Tianlong Hu Die:" The training camp has been good until now, we are ready to release our third contingent at the moment, and our shadows reach a number of 324.
They are all trained and have been directed in cultivation and knowledge. The weakest out of the camp are cultivators at the 3rd level of Qi Refining Realm.
But according to Master's instructions we have send most of them to our mercenary groups to gain battle experience and battle prowess.
At the moment we are also working on forming more advanced groups for their cultivation knowledge and also to deepen their cultivations.
We just need the resources and the staff, most of the infrastructure is already done."
This was really good news to Tianlong Xia, this meant that her hubby's foundation was steadily increasing and that was a good thing.
But now they needed to start advancing forwards and strengthen their foundation, their first 16 shadows were close to their breakthroughs to the 2nd Realm.
They had to make sure that they had all the resources needed to keep them going and also to boost the new shadows that had started training.
Right now there was only one concern on her and her hubby's mind, Tianlong Yun was the only Alchemist in their Clan, it would be difficult for him to satisfy the needs of the Clan.
That was why they needed some shadows that were good with Alchemy, so Tianlong Yun could train, or why not even Tianlong Xia, she was in no way behind Tianlong Yun in Alchemy.
She had been his teacher, so she might even know more than him.
While she was thinking about this, there were a few possible individuals in Tianlong Xia's mind, but she had other things to think about right now.
Turning really solemn and serious for a moment she asked,
Tianlong Xia:" What about our other assignments, how far have you gone until now?"
This time Tianlong Hu Die didn't take a file, but also pondered seriously for a moment before saying,
Tianlong Hu Die:" Well until now it has been really easy, since I have taken under control their information system in the city, and Chen Ling's position makes things easier.
But the real challenge starts now I guess since I am thinking of going out of the city by next week, together with Chen Ling to start germination of the seeds in other cities.
I don't really know what to expect, especially with the situation at hand, but I will try my best.
In the meantime, we have also selected and started training two more batches of women for our 'Mansions' in other cities.
Big Sister Xia can select what she needs from them."
Tianlong Xia was a bit surprised at this report, but it made sense, Tianlong Hu Die was someone who understood the importance of that task.
So some help towards her who had been missing for more than 10 days was natural she guessed. With this thought in mind, she looked seriously towards her and said,
Tianlong Xia:" Take 4 shadows with you in your journey, and also that shape-shifting girl. Who knows what stupidity can Chen Ling think."
With that said, she got out of the meeting room, to go and see the two women tailing her earlier
