Feeling that the young man in front of him had been captivated by his spell, the old man smiled proudly. Then, he was shocked to find that the skinny young man in front of him was also smiling. Then, the skinny young man suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm. "Oh, so you're also a fellow wizard.
I've read about it in the Legend of Man Mountain before. You're using the Mind Control Spell, right? "
"You're really knowledgeable, boy …" The old man smiled cheekily and gave him a thumbs up. Suddenly, his right arm shook. Then, he used all his strength to shrink his arm. Unfortunately, Zhang Lisheng's fingers were like a steel rake that clamped his arm firmly. "Uncle, I'm born in a Miao land so I'm considered an old man. I can't tolerate sand in my eyes. You're doing this for no reason …"
"Don't use force, don't use force! This is a new suit, Shanshan's new suit! It's worth tens of thousands of yuan!
Boy, since we're from the same sect, it's my fault that I couldn't tell and cast a spell on you. However, I really don't have any ill intentions. I just want to make a fortune with you.
Didn't you travel thousands of miles abroad to fish for money at such a young age for the sake of making a fortune? You'll really regret it if you miss this opportunity! "
Zhang Lisheng could not help but be surprised when he saw that the old man, who was also a wizard, was not worried about his safety when he grabbed his arm. Instead, he was concerned about the suit he was wearing. Then, he looked at the old man who was wearing a suit and casually asked, "What opportunity to make a fortune?"
"Let go of my hand if you want to know!" Upon hearing that the young man had a favor to ask of him, the old man's expression changed right away as he said proudly.
He had never thought that the second witchcraft person he met would have such an expression. In comparison, Mountain Cat, who liked to control people's lives and kill his enemies like a cat toying with a mouse, was more like a normal wizard.
Out of curiosity, Zhang Lisheng thought about it and really let go of the old man. "Tell me, Uncle."
"Young people are always impatient. We're all witchcraft people and we've almost been killed off by those reclusive and famous sects. Now that we can finally appear in the world openly, who would want to harm you if there's no enmity between us?
It's not like there's a 'Wizard' carved on your forehead … "The old man rubbed his wrist and grumbled. When he saw the skinny young man frowning imperceptibly in front of him, he hurriedly lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious." This opportunity to get rich is very important, so you can't talk about it in public.
Let's find a restaurant and talk while we eat … "
"This is South Africa. Not many people understand Mandarin. We've talked so much just now, so why don't we make things clear here, uncle?" Zhang Lisheng smiled and rejected the old man's suggestion.
"Alright then, alright then." The situation was not in his favor. When the old man saw that he could not defeat or intimidate the young man, he said helplessly, "I came to South Africa this time because I was hired as an environmental expert by the China National Mining Corporation.
By right, I should still have an assistant. This job was supposed to be done by my son, but who knew that he would get dysentery before he left and couldn't make it to Africa. When I saw you practicing boxing on the street, your posture was really good, so I was tempted. "
"You? An environmental expert?" Zhang Lisheng looked at the old man from top to bottom in astonishment. The old man chuckled dryly. "Hey, don't look down on me. I've been working in Gansu for several dozens of years, cleaning up graves and settling houses, so why can't I be an environmental expert?
Not only that, the country has sent me to Africa by plane this time, but it's not to be an ordinary environmental expert. It's to explore the mysteries, to make great contributions, and to make great contributions. "
After saying his last sentence in a genteel manner, a hint of joy suddenly appeared in the old man's eyes that were rolling around. Putting on an inscrutable look, he no longer said anything.
"How do I make great contributions and make great contributions? Uncle, tell me clearly!" Upon hearing the old man suddenly raising his curiosity at the most critical point, the young man asked leisurely.
"Old Man Xu, can you be more obedient? How can you get lost so early in the morning? I've been looking for you for more than an hour, do you know that?" Suddenly, a shout of annoyance mixed with surprise resonated from afar, interrupting Zhang Lisheng's question.
Then, a young Chinese man with a young and tender face and delicate facial features ran over from afar with a 'thump thump thump …' and grabbed the old man's arm. "If you continue to be so disorganized and undisciplined, I'll really ask the team leader to ground you.
Look, you're already so old, so I'm embarrassed to say too much, but you have to be self-aware … Who is he?
Do you know him, Old Man Xu? "
Before the young man caught the old man, all his attention was on him. By the time he grabbed the old man to complain and warn him to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart, he suddenly noticed that there was a young man dressed as a Johannesburg local standing beside the old man. He turned out to be a Chinese man. Not only that, from the spirit that he deliberately revealed, he could tell that he was not ordinary, so he immediately asked cautiously.
"Don't be nervous, Team Leader Cui. Don't be nervous, it's just a coincidence today. I was strolling around and accidentally met my junior nephew who is working in Africa. Now, I'm trying to recruit him to serve the country …" Upon hearing his companion's conversation, the old man unexpectedly winked at Zhang Lisheng and put on an expression of 'I'm helping you' as he replied slowly.
"Old Man Xu, y-you're crazy! Going to the supernatural realm is a top secret of the country, so how can we just recruit people casually? What right do you have …" With just one sentence from the old man, it made the young man beside him turn red right away like a firecracker that had been lit. Lowering his voice, he said while gritting his teeth.
As he could no longer suppress his anger, the skin on his body surface began to slowly turn from yellow to silver-gray.
"Team Leader Cui, w-what are you doing? Hurry up and put away the Golden Bull Worm! If this falls into the eyes of some people with ulterior motives, wouldn't everything be delayed?!" When the old man saw the strange phenomenon displayed by the young man, a deep sense of envy and jealousy appeared in his eyes. However, he whispered innocently, "I'm just telling my junior nephew that I've had a stroke of good luck in my later years and was hired by the China National Mining Corporation to be an expert in South Africa.
I told him not to work with those black monkeys anymore and just carry a bag for me. He can be considered as a citizen of the country after all.
I was planning to use words to 'control' him and bring him to our team to tell Captain Hu about the situation. As for whether to accept him or send him away, it's all up to the leader to decide.
Now that you've done this indiscriminately, look at this! Initially, he didn't know anything at all, but now, look at the mess that has been made … "
No matter how high the young man's strength was, he could not win against the old thief with a glib tongue. With just a few sentences, the situation was reversed and he was rendered speechless. His face turned from silver-gray to red before turning from red to green again. "Ah! I-I! T-This is my fault?"
"Team Leader Cui, actually, if I think about it carefully, I can't blame you for this matter. I'm also responsible for it. It's such an important mission, so I really shouldn't have just randomly recruited people into the team.
However, I'm a spellcaster, so I'm very weak when I'm casting a spell, so I need someone to protect me. In the end, you guys sent me a bodyguard and even said that he's a martial arts instructor from the provincial armed police corps.
However, he can't even defeat an old man like me, and he only knows how to split bricks. Then, do you think that he can avoid danger just by splitting a few bricks? I have to think of a way myself … "
"Stop it, Old Man Xu. Now that things have come to this, your Junior Nephew can only join the team." When the young man saw that there were fewer and fewer people in the small park as time went by, he suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "I'll talk to the team leader about this, but if you want to leave the team without permission again, I'll definitely … definitely …"
"Don't worry, Team Leader Cui. As long as you can let my junior nephew join the team with me and give me some protection, I promise that from today onwards, I'll strictly abide by the discipline and never go out to look at these African sceneries for no reason."
"It better be so. Let's go back to the hotel first." When the young man heard the old man's promise, his expression turned slightly better. However, when he took a step forward, he noticed that Zhang Lisheng had a thoughtful expression on his face as he stood still.
In the face of this young man who looked younger than him, the young man who was still angry became even more impolite than the old man. Pointing at him, he said, "I said, let's go back to the hotel first. Didn't you hear me?"
"Brother, you've been talking to Uncle Xu and you've never asked me whether I agree or not and whether I want to join your team or not," The young man was stunned.
He looked at Zhang Lisheng seriously and said with a fake smile, "You've come out to work before you even graduated from high school, right? Look at you, a Chinese descendant, but dressing up like this, I can tell that you're a 'non-mainstream' person. You think that you've seen a lot of things so you can look down on others? You're a rebel, right?"
"Team Leader Cui, don't say that. I don't know how well this junior nephew of mine is practicing, but his boxing skill is very good. Not only that, he also has a bad temper. Let me persuade him …" The old man muttered gloatingly by the side.
"No matter how good his boxing skill is, it can't be better than omniscient power!" The young man smiled conceitedly and reached out to grab Zhang Lisheng's collarbone. "Follow me obediently and don't hurt our feelings. In the future, you still have to …"
In the face of the attack, Zhang Lisheng took a small step back with a blank expression. Then, he took a step forward and leaped up only seven to eight centimeters off the ground. Concentrating his strength on his right arm, he threw a punch.
There was no whistling wind, nor did it give off a strong and heavy feeling. However, the old man nearby had a sudden change of expression. Rushing forward, his palm went towards Zhang Lisheng's fist as though it had no bones. "Boy, why are you so ruthless just because you said something wrong?"
Upon seeing the old man helping to stop him, the young man with the surname Cui also cast his special ability vigilantly. His skin faintly glowed with a silver color.
Seeing that the opportunity for a surprise attack was gone in a flash, Zhang Lisheng, who had no intention of transforming on the streets of York City and did not want to cause the news of a monster attack, drew his fist gently and retracted it. At this moment, a sharp explosion resonated in the air around his body.
Then, the young man smiled and said, "Brother, you can't stop me if I want to leave. It's better for us to not hurt our friendship."
