Chapter 1086

(Unedited)

…

Hu Wanxiong and his brother grew up in the street of Ogden town. At that time, when the gangs are still rampant in the town, the two were recruited. Their lives turn for the better after working for a gang. But of course, that includes the danger accompanied by its glamorous and vain living.

Fights, rivalry, and even death could not be prevented while working in a gang. But that is fine with him, as long as it is not them who are suffering and getting beaten up.

But then, what he feared the most happened, and his older brother was crippled… not by another gang, or in a fight, but by a child. That's right, for some unknown reason, his brother's gang who kidnapped a father and son duo, ended up being crippled. It was an embarrassment, it was unbelievable.

But it happened, and he took care of his brother ever since.

His brother's only wish is to get his revenge against that child…

But it became an impossible request as the father of the child seems to have suddenly reached the 10th level. And it was their unlucky strike that they kidnapped and awoken a sleeping dragon.

For 5 years, he works hard to reach the 4th level. And now he became a teacher in the Ogden academy with his past hidden behind him. The desire for revenge is still there, but that is only after he gets his chance.

And right now, that chance is right in front of his eyes. And he almost let it slip because of his pettiness. After getting himself composed, his mind began to work and he got an idea of what to do next.

With an evil smile, Hu Wanxiong suddenly wanted to say something but a teacher suddenly walks out of the gate.

That teacher is one of the most well-known teachers in Ogden Academy. So when the people noticed that guy, they all began to clamor up to him.

But then the crowd stopped upon noticing a beautiful woman walking behind the famous teacher. That woman is the same as the famous teacher… she too holds some fame in the academy. However, that fame is something to be desired by any student.

She is known as the fiery phoenix as she would always burn those who offended her or disrespect her using her flame arts.

In the academy, she teaches two classes, combat classes, and alchemy classes. These two classes are her forte and it is said that she is really good at teaching her students.

At this time, Hu Wanxiong's expression turned solemn upon seeing the two figures. He walks to them and is greeted with a cupped hand.

"Teacher En, teacher Dong… you've come to check the enrollment process?" he greeted.

"Teacher Hu, it seems to be lively in here today…" Dong Layong or teacher Dong said with a happy smile on his handsome face.

Hu Wanxiong took a glance at Teacher En and nodded his head. The cold demeanor of the woman has always attracted him to her. For a very long time, he has taken a fancy to her, but because she is always with Teacher Dong, Hu Wanxiong could not make his move.

In the past, he would not be this kind. If he likes a woman, he and his brother would sometimes force their way into that woman. He truly missed those days which was ruined by that bastard Xin Ja.

"Yes, there are many who are qualified and also many who are not…" he deliberately showed the papers of Xin Ja to the handsome teacher.

When Dong Layong reads the paper and knew who that person is, his expression suddenly changes into that of astonishment and wonder.

He quickly turns to the side and tries to look for the person.

"Where… where is he?" he asked Hu Wanxiong with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

He did not know why, but he feel a bit curious about the guy.

"I don't know… I told him that he did not have to take the test as he already failed…"

"What?... Oh… Yeah, I guess you are right. With his reputation as the fool of Ogden town, I would wonder if he could ever pass…"

Dong Layong said as he gave the paper to Hu Wanxiong. He did not stay longer and quickly left.

At this time, Hu Wanxiong seeing that the two have left suddenly stood up from his seat and then told the other staff to take care of the rest.

He then walks to an alley and then closes his eyes.

He tried to feel the mark that he left in the clothes of that young man.

Suddenly, his eyes squinted as he could not sense any trace of the mark in the surroundings.

"This is impossible… How could he just disappear?" he muttered as he continually tries to search.

Meanwhile, at this time, two figures are standing behind the shadow of the roof of one of the buildings overlooking the alleyway.

These two figures are Dong Layong, and En Yaoyao. They are the two of the most famous teachers in Ogden Academy.

"What do you think he is doing?" Dong Layong asked while observing the alley.

En Yaoyao is showing nonchalance in her eyes as she leaned on the wall while a look of someone getting bored is plastered on her beautiful face.

"Come on, Junior Sister… work with me in here…" he said with a frown.

"Sigh… What else. If what my investigation said is true, then that Hu Wanxiong is looking for Xin Ja. I think he put a trace on him…" she said while yawning.

She casually takes out a small palm-size dagger from her side and plays with it.

"Hey, Senior Brother… When do you think we can return to the sect?" she asked while playing with the dagger in her hand.

She began to make the dagger float as it began to spin like a buzzsaw.

"You still want to return to that hellhole? Be my guess… For me, I will stay here in Ogden town… This is a good place for me." He said with a slight smile while shaking his head.

"Anyway, why do you think this guy is targeting the son of Xin Jong? If Xin Jong finds out about this, that guy would surely be crippled. His status as a teacher in Ogden Academy would not be able to save him…"

"No… Xin Jong will not cripple that guy. He will kill him…" En Yaoyao said with a strange glint in her eyes.

"Eh? You said that like you knew that guy Xin Jong. I know that he has a reputation on the battlefield, but that is only on the battlefield. Here in Ogden town, he is not that overbearing, right?"

"Hihi… Do you know where Xin Jong really came from?"

"Don't tell me he is not from Ogden village… Oh… Wait a minute… Xin… Xin clan. Don't tell me he is from the Xin Clan from the capital kingdom?"

"Ohhh… I remember now… I think I heard of the story of the 10th level Ki fighter from the Xin clan who was chased out of the clan because he became a trashy 1st level Ki fighter. At that time, I thought it was all a lie. I have not met nor heard about Xin Jong so, I have no idea that he is from the Xin clan…"

"Geez… Senior, when will you grow up? I always told you to read my reports… I always give you the complete information about most of the people in this town that we need to investigate… Plus we cannot let those evil cult members escape us this time." she said with a frown.

While the two bickers, Hu Wanxiong still continues to scan his surroundings. However, even after a few seconds, he could still find no one.

"Let's go… I think he already lost that guy…" En Yaoyao said as she turn around and was about to leave.

Suddenly, Dong Layong grabs her hand and their figure darted to the side and hide on one of the ledges of the rooftop.

"Shh… Someone came…" Dong Layong said while gesturing for her to look at the edge of the street.

The two did not know who that person is, but judging from his clothes, the person who appeared in the alley might just be some homeless guy who is living by the alleyway.

That guy walks like someone who is not sober and on his hand is a flask.

"It's just a drunkard…" she said with a dissatisfied from.

Plus, her senior is actually taking advantage of her while holding her waist.

Before Dong Layong knew it, he suddenly feels a searing pain in his hand.

"Umph… Why you little…" he said trying to hold on to his anger.

How could this woman be so unreasonable? She even burned his hand…

But he could not deny the fact that her waist is really smooth and soft…

As the two observe the situation, Dong Layong pointed at the drunken man.

"That guy… he is not actually drunk… His footstep is calculated and he has no opening while walking."

"Then did that guy also notice it?" she asked.

"Hehe… I don't think so… This would be a good show to watch. Who is that guy anyway?"

"Maybe someone who is protecting Xin Jong's son in secret…" she said with a frown.
