chapter 4

Tang Yan looked at Lu ding's back and smiles knowing fully well that he was being suspected for having a sudden change in soul and thinking, so was he also suspicious of him because so the manner of composure and amount of faith power flowing within him.  Just as he walked out of the school hate nonchalantly he was intercepted by some set of hoodlums and amongst them was one of Yan fan's men who arrogantly stepped forward

"The boss said to meet him in the back alley of the school"

"Is that a request or command from him" He asked giving off bloodlust.      The hoodlums trembled in fear of what next might happen if they say anything more they might end up in a worse situation

"It seems to be a request ..." The lackey of Yan fan shuttered not Dearing to look him in the eye with his entire body and soul shaking non stop.

"Fine lead the way " he said majestically as if his mood was friendly from start. The group didn't waste any time and lead the way in fear.

Arriving at the said place, there stood a multitude of thugs . Yan fan stood behind a fat muscular man whose chest was exposed with the tattoo of a boar on it . The fat man held a thick stick with a vicious look on his face.

Before any of them could speak, Tang Yan smiled and said" let me take a guess...my younger brother here said u disrespected him and even dared to look at him arrogantly not giving face and now I'm going to teach manners or should I say let you know your palce . Was that what you were going to say, so cliche same as thousands of years ago". The fat man at first was startled sue to Tang Yan guessing the words he was going to say but that also made him furious

"You dear run your mouth in front of this lord here do you want to die"

"Hes a fool for not knowing which words to say in front of brother ma"

"He's so fucked right now"

The thugs began discussing and curse as to Tang yans attitude. Tang Yan laughs uncontrollably pointing at the brother ma's face.

" Seriously you look more of a cow that a boar ... If u were going to teach me a lesson get on with it and stop wasting time I've got many things to do after leaving here"

Yan fan smiled as if he could see Tang Yan being trashed on the ground with him howling in pain but reality disappointed him even though Tang Yan hasn't started cultivating the boy hes I n was fit and he could still remember some basic martial arts so when the thugs attacked he was able to beat them down with not much stress in a considerable speed.

"Even with just this little exercise I'm way too exhausted, I'll need to train my body for a month before I start cultivating again" he thought rubbing his chin as if being mysterious. Yan fan on the other hand ran deep into the alley and hid behind a bush after witnessing the strength of Tang Yan again almost forty thugs who were no average.

Back at that alley, Tang Yan sat on the back of Brother ma well balance and comfortably.

"Now tell me who the hell needs to know his place"

"..."

"It okay if you all don't want to answer but I want you to know that all your operations and moments along with territories will belong and be under my command. Any objections" he asked with an unquestionable tone "since it's agreed report to me tomorrow evening at this location xx No7 brother ma and remember do not be late or make a fuss"

After some instructions and the setting of rules, Tang Yan walked out of the alley dragging the brutally bartered.lackey of Yan fan. The surrounding people felt horrified see the dragged person and the smiling Tang Yan swaggering off the road to were he worked part time. When they got to the construction site ,yang Yan threw the lackey near a wooden box and walked to meet the group of friendly old men whom the previous self usually spoke to.

"Hehe...boy Tang you've arrived, how was the school lessons" an old man with a decayed yellow teeth asked .

" It was smooth and comfortable than usual. Today was quite refreshing I'd I should say...also I brought along with me a volunteered friend of mine to help with the boxes"

The old men kept silent for a second before finally busting into laughter

"You sure had a good day seems you've finally got a hang over those kids"

"I've been looking forward to seeing this, you know once the tail of a cat is stepped on it swings it claws"

"Old second since when was there a saying like that" a chubby neat and plumpy woman said as she placed the tray containing food on the mat gently.

"Madam Shu you still look as beautiful as the morning sun" Tang Yan said sincerely. The woman in front of him could be said to be beautiful during her youthful days just by looking at here but unfortunately she lost her husband the day of their marriage and ever since then, she stayed a widow and she's been protected by the there old men who she knew from her hometown.

"Since when did you know how to flatter old Tang"the man called old second scoffed.

"Enough...don't mind them,since u said am beautiful then I'll give you a reward later" madame shu said with a bright smile.

Old first and old third just kept their eye on the Tang Yan in front of them who seemed extremely different before.

The lackey who was brought to the construction site felt strange and  fearful of the place, there were the three old men Tang Yan related with and a beautiful elderly woman along with few muscular men doing their job efficiently.

"Move on to the right and start packing the iron pillars, all must be done before evening" Tang Yan ordered the lackey without batting an eye in his direction
