Qin Mangs and Xia Fei had a pretty good relationship. Now that the old man was on the brink of death due to the poison, it was only natural for him to leave something for Xia Fei. After all, while the two were not master and disciple, they had spent some time together, and their personalities were very similar.
Xia Fei guessed that old man Qin Mangs must have had something in his possession that was being eyed by various forces. Once the outsiders found out that he had left something for Xia Fei, they would see him as a thorn in their side, wishing to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Xia Fei smiled. The old man had good intentions, but he probably never thought that leaving something for me would turn me into a target for everyone.
Thuram laid down on the bed without a care for his image. This big shot of the Adjudicator Headquarters did not bother with trifles in his daily life and was a man of character.
Qin Mangs personality has always been weird. He likes to do things as he pleases. When he was young, he loved to collect martial arts monographs, and later on, he began to collect things related to the ancient civilization. If he were to really pass on all his secrets to you, it would be strange if others didn't become jealous. After all, the value of those things is immeasurable.
No one dared to have such thoughts when he was alive, but now that he's about to die, those who have been eyeing his things are going to stir up a storm of blood, Thuram said softly.
Xia Fei recalled the countless precious materials in the library. He had read quite a bit over the past two years by Qin Mangs side, so he naturally knew how important they were. Sure enough, the old man had not even breathed his last, and those who were vying for his inheritance had already swarmed over. Even Xia Fei, an outsider, could not help but be implicated.
Let me give you a piece of advice, Thuram said. Thuram said, It's best if you don't take anything Qin Mangs left for you, or else you'll be in trouble.
Xia Fei smiled. Of course, I know that. I just want to go back and see the old man. As for the old man's property, Ive never cared about it.
Thuram narrowed his eyes. Don't worry. I'm going to Endaro Star Region first to see that old fart, and second to protect you. With me around, no one will dare to hurt you, but if you take something you shouldn't, I'm afraid that those fellows will stake everything on one throw to deal with you.
Xia Fei nodded. "I understand."
"Also, why is Potter with you?" Thuram asked.
Xia Fei was stunned. Do you know Uncle Porters?
Thuram smiled and said, "Don't you know him?"
Xia Fei was speechless. He did not know why Qin Mangs and Thurams were acting strangely whenever they talked about Porter. Xia Fei knew that Old Porter was mysterious, but he did not know exactly why he was so mysterious.
"Porter was the famous Machine God back in the day. He was the champion of the Golden Finger Cup three times in the Alliance. Although he's missing an eye, he might be able to fool others, but he can't fool me."
Is Uncle Porters three-time champion of the Golden Finger Cup? Xia Fei wondered.
The Golden Finger Cup was the highest level mechanic competition in the Alliance. It was extremely difficult for one to clear a path of blood among the countless mechanics in the Alliance and become the champion. However, Old Potter had actually won the championship three times in a row. Such an honor was simply unbeatable.
"How do you know him?" Thuram asked.
Xia Fei briefly explained what had happened to Thuram and also told him that he had invited him to his company.
Thuram burst into laughter after hearing the story. "Xia Fei, Xia Fei, what should I say about you? Back then, after Potter won the Golden Finger Cup three times, the president of the Adjudicator Headquarters personally invited him to join the guild, but Potter rejected him without a second thought. Later on, I heard from others that Potter came from a big family in the Alliance and left for some unknown reason. He doesn't care about money or glory at all. He doesn't even care about our guild. "
"The machine god of the present age is actually willing to work for your lousy company? Thats the weirdest thing I've ever heard in my life. How strange."
Xia Fei was speechless. He only knew that Old Porter was no ordinary person, but he did not expect him to have such a background.
"The old man mentioned Porter before, too. Could he have already known?" Xia Fei asked curiously.
Thuram rubbed his temple. "Do you know how I met Porter?"
"Nope."
"Back then, Qin Mangs started with martial arts, but he ended up becoming obsessed with technology and machines. He would attend almost every Golden Finger Cup. It's fine if he went alone, but he insisted on dragging me along, so he must have known. He didn't tell you because he wanted you to find out for yourself," Thuram said.
Ten days later, Endaro Star Region's Heaven Execution Training Camp, Hek.
Central Hospital, the largest and best hospital on Hek. A black hovercar slowly drove in under the protection of several hovercars with the Adjudicator Union's logo, directly entering the special wards at the back of the hospital.
These special wards were specially prepared for people of high status and power. They were all private villas, beautifully carved beams and painted rafters. There were plenty of flowers and plants planted in the courtyards, and there was even a private swimming pool.
The black hovercar stopped in front of the largest and most luxurious Special Ward 1. Xia Fei and Thuram got out from the two sides, and several attendants who had been waiting there warmly opened the doors for them.
Ye Jingshan and an old man with white hair and beard welcomed Thuram, respectfully greeting him. Ye Jingshan was slightly stunned when he saw Xia Fei, a strange look flashing across his eyes.
"Is the old man inside?" Thuram asked very bluntly.
"Master is waiting for you. He specifically ordered me and my senior to welcome you," Ye Jingshan answered. Ye Jingshan answered. That unchanging face of his actually managed to squeeze out a smile, which surprised Xia Fei quite a bit. He had always thought that Ye Jingshan did not know how to smile, but this smile of his was very forced and did not look good at all.
"Cut the crap. It would be strange if the old man could get anyone to welcome me. Get out of the way; Ill go and meet this old fart."
With that, Thuram strode toward the courtyard. Xia Fei stuck his hands in his pockets and followed behind him.
"Xia Fei, you should report back to the camp first," Ye Jingshan said with a frown.
"Bullsh * t! What report? That old man is Xia Fei's direct superior. If his superior is in the hospital, his subordinate should report to the hospital! " Thuram turned his head and bellowed angrily. His voice was loud and clear to begin with, and now, it was tinged with anger. His voice was like a ringing bell, and when it landed on the ground, it created a huge pit and caused pain to the eardrums.
"Yes, you're right." The old man secretly tugged on the corner of Ye Jingshan's shirt as he said this with a smile, looking very much like a crafty old fox.
"Who's that loser?" Xia Fei approached Thuram and quietly asked.
"Hes the old fart's first disciple. His name is Na Lian. Qin Mangs has taken in quite a few disciples in his lifetime, but unfortunately, his judgment is lacking, and none of them are good. These disciples of his know that their master is about to die, so they followed the scent and came looking for him, hoping to make one last profit from that old fart."
Xia Fei knitted his eyebrows. "Ye Jingshan is also the old man's disciple?"
"Yeah."
Xia Fei instantly understood why he was able to successfully enter the internal division back when he was in Heaven Execution Training Camp. It turned out that Qin Mangs had played a part in it.
From the looks of it, the old man had helped him a lot, both openly and covertly, which made Xia Fei very grateful.
"Not all of the old man's disciples are bad. Yawei from the Death Trio Star Region is a pretty decent person," Xia Fei said.
Thuram wrinkled his nose. "Hes just because hes too far away to come back, so he knows there's nothing for him to do. In my opinion, that old fart Qin Mangs doesnt have many good disciples."
Walking along a flowery path, Xia Fei could see a group of old men surrounding the ward from afar, smiling at Thuram.
"See that? His few good-for-nothings disciples arent the most sinister. These old men are the ones who are most likely to do you harm. They are all very strong, Thuram whispered to Xia Fei.
Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows. He was secretly annoyed at these people who were trying to steal old man Qin Mangs property, but he still maintained a smile on his face.
The group of old men came up to greet Thuram passionately, each and every one of them extremely friendly. Thuram also responded with a smile on his face. Even though he was famous for his straightforward temper, he was still very calm when dealing with them.
Xia Fei had nothing to say to these people, so he stood outside the door and looked in. The room was filled with people wearing Adjudicator uniforms, and security was tight. It would be impossible for anyone to get close to Qin Mangs in secret.
All of a sudden, Xia Fei felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly turned around and saw a black-haired old man rushing over with a smile.
His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, giving off a bone-piercing chill. Though his face was full of wrinkles, his hair and beard were black and glossy, just like a young man, which made him look very unusual.
"Brother Thuram, you're here," the black-haired old man said warmly as he opened his arms.
Thuram turned around and immediately put on a bright smile. "Master Mata, how have you been?"
With that, the two of them hugged each other passionately like real brothers.
Mata glanced at Xia Fei from time to time, and his sharp eyes made Xia Fei very uncomfortable.
"Brother Thuram, why didnt you tell me? If I knew you were here to see Qin Mangs, we could have kept each other company," Mata pretended to say.
Thuram chuckled. "Our weapons and equipment department is a leisurely place, so how can it compare to your pursuit department? I never thought that you would still come after me despite your busy schedule."
"How can you say that? Qin Mangs is our mutual friend. Since you're here to see him, how could I miss out?" Mata laughed.
Xia Fei realized from their conversation that Thuram and Mata were probably enemies, and Mata had immediately chased after him the moment he learned that Thuram was heading to Endaro Star Region, which made Thuram very unhappy. However, he could not afford to fall out with him, so all he could do was mock him secretly.
"This young man is?" Mata looked at Xia Fei and asked.
"Xia Fei."
"So youre the only librarian in the library."
Xia Fei smiled and nodded.
