Chapter 278: Qin Bao (1/?)
While Tianlong Xia and Tianlong Hu Die were passing this small crisis and its solution together, far away from them Qin Bao had just arrived at a coastal area in Africa.
She had just gotten out of the boat that brought her and more than 30 people to this place. In their midst, there were men, women, and kids.
Even though she had been kind of introduced to the way Shadow Clan worked, she was still amazed by everything that was happening around her.
At first, when she got into the boat that brought them here, she was thinking that she was better than these little kids and that Tianlong Yun was a heartless guy for bringing them here.
But now that they were disembarking the boat, and those kids were taking down all the big heavy equipment, she didn't know what to think.
She had started cultivation only recently, and even though she was told to be prepared for everything during this trip, she still thought that it wouldn't be a big deal.
No one would recognize her here, so there was no need for her to disguise herself as Young Master Qin Bao, not to mention that it would be really difficult keeping that disguise in here.
The reason she was sent here was simple, even though she had a lot of anger inside her, and knew how things worked, and had seen people die in front of her, she had never suffered.
In other words, she was like a person who had read a book or seen a movie, she had the knowledge and knew the theory behind it, but she had no idea of the practice.
Furthermore, there was needed a brain and someone to look at what was happening around the mercenary camps in here.
Tianlong Xia had sent her here with the intention of not only training her but also checking on the work of people that were already here.
No matter how much these guys were brainwashed and told to be loyal to Tianlong Yun and the Shadow Clan, there were always some people who thought too highly of themselves.
Qin Bao was sent here as an observer of the people around.
She had a letter with Tianlong Xia's seal that allowed her to take charge of this place, but only when she deemed herself able to.
This was a test not only for the moles in the mercenary teams but also for Qin Bao herself. She had been taught a lot of things in this last week.
She had been taught about the Shadow Clan, and its hierarchy, she had been taught about their goals and history, and of course, she had been taught cultivation.
From the moment she returned with Tianlong Yun and Gao Ling from the inheritance cave, she had been taught cultivation, and she had also started cultivating.
With the help of the people around here, and the medicinal concoctions available, she had been able to reach the 2nd level of Qi Refining Realm recently.
Of course, this achievement made her think too highly of herself, and her newly acquired power at first like anyone else would.
But, now looking at these kids lift those heavy boxes, she understood that until now she had been only blowing her own horn.
Hit by this sudden realization, she finally had her first panic attack since taking this mission. Would she be okay in this place!?
There was no going back now, not to mention all her flexing at 'the Mansion' after she showed great talent in cultivation, and getting this mission.
Now she was feeling like even she herself would puke hearing that flexing. Anyway, she couldn't take that back, but at least she could try to do her best.
Thinking like this she immediately put everything else at the back of her head and then went to help with the disembarking.
Some of the kids were trying to keep their cool and do everything they were taught to, while some of them were clearly anxious and panicky about what was waiting for them.
When they embarked the ship they were told only two lines from their group leader, who apparently was a well-trained mercenary.
Leader:" This is a dog it's dog world! Only the strong, smart, and brave are able to live through this hell.
If you want to survive then you have to do everything you can to survive. Everything!"
From that moment on, they could only see him as a cold, commanding leader. He was only around to give them orders and show them the way to survive.
Seeing these anxious new shadows, Qin Bao approached them and said,
Qin Bao:" Don't worry we will make it. As long as we stay together and do our best, we can survive and become stronger."
Hearing those consoling words, the 4 kids around here seemed to have taken a bit of courage, and started acting more collected.
In the meantime, 3 men and 2 women were waiting for them to disembark the equipment and then be accompanied down, where a big caravan was waiting for them.
It was clear that they were important people and none of the kids dared to confront them. But sometimes even if you don't look for trouble, trouble comes looking for you.
After they had disembarked all the boxes, and equipment on the boat, while accompanying the VIP, one of the kids, a young girl of around 15 years old, unintentionally bumped one of the 3 men.
The guy immediately jumped as if his honor had been damaged and went to slap the girl for her rudeness.
Even though the girl was still 15 years old, she had been cultivating for some time now, and she was 3rd level of Qi Refining Realm.
She could easily overturn the situation in her favor, but she didn't know what to do. They were told nothing about how to treat these guys, and she didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Qin Bao jumped forward and grabbed his hand with force, and almost broke it due to not being able to control her strength.
So releasing it quickly so it wouldn't break she said in a loud voice full of anger,
Qin Bao:" What do you think you are doing?"
That guy was, even more, angered seeing that someone was opposing him, not to mention that his hand hurt like hell.
He was a big scientist, a big engineer, and a geologist, so naturally, he deemed himself to be better and more important, than these scrappy kids around him.
He knew his value as a big engineer and geologist, so to him, these guys were just guards and servants placed there for the scientists like himself.
And now a lowly servant dared to raise not only her voice but also her hand towards him. This was something unacceptable.
So turning towards the servant that grabbed his hand, he screamed with indignance,
Arrogant Engineer:" I am trying to teach this little servant her place. She can't go around and think that she can touch anyone around here like you are!"
When he finished his words though, he stopped for a moment and took a look at Qin Bao. While the girl earlier had average looks and was really young, Qin Bao seemed like a nice treat.
In no time his look turned to one of lust, and he completely forgot the pain in his hand.
Qin Bao was clearly disgusted by that look, she had decided long ago that she was Tianlong Yun's woman after all.
Not to mention that this guy looked just like a toad wanting to eat the swan.
The disgust almost made her want to declare her identity there and then, but she managed to keep her nerves down.
The leader of the team hearing the racket happening, immediately came to the scene. This was the first time something like this happened to him.
But while he didn't know the identity of Qin Bao, he had seen the strength these kids possessed, and let's say he wouldn't want to mess with any of them.
While he was a team leader, that was only on name and experience, otherwise, in a one on one fight with these kids, he was surely going to lose.
Seeing this situation, he got closer, and asked with a dominating voice,
Team Leader:" What is happening here?"
While he was a leader just for his experience, that didn't mean he would show any weakness to his team members.
In no time that arrogant engineer started talking,
Arrogant Engineer:" I was just trying to show some manners to these lowly servants."
All this time he hadn't stopped his lusty gaze over Qin Bao even for a second though.
That was mostly because Qin Bao retrieved her grab quickly as she didn't want to break his hand.
So he clearly didn't understand her strength at the moment.
The team leader was clearly dumbfounded for a moment when even he as a team leader didn't have the courage to go against these kids.
Yet, this sissy guy was treating them as servants?
He was in a tough spot right now. He had been ordered by the command unit to treat the scientists as better as possible since they were important.
But at the same time, there was this known secret that these kids were really important to their big boss, that no one had seen.
Qin Bao was just observing the team leader, she had a mission after all. While she was really angry at the toad, she knew her priorities.
The team leader didn't exactly know what to do with this situation, and how to deal with it. As if this wasn't enough, that arrogant engineer continued with his sh*t,
Arrogant Engineer:" You should really teach them well Captain, they should understand how to treat an honored scientist."
The other people on the team were looking at this with interest though, depending on how the team leader acted in this case, would depend on how they behaved from here.
While the pressure was increasing on the team leader, suddenly a powerful light was seen at a distance from them, and
