Chapter 32 – Rebels Grand Strategist
In fact, Ye Shuangluo hadn't even figured out how to find the Rebels when he discovered a note in the meal delivered by the inn's waiter.
"Midnight, Stars Chamber of Commerce warehouse. We hope the young hero can come for a chat.
Rebels"
After reading the note, Ye Shuangluo found it unbelievable. Was this like someone delivering a pillow just as he wanted to sleep?
Could it be that his Luck attribute was finally working?
But were the Rebels really this bold, delivering a note in broad daylight without fearing he might report them?
Ye Shuangluo thought for a moment and decided it wouldn't hurt to check it out. After all, he had just learned a new skill and was itching to test it on someone.
...
Late at night.
Ye Shuangluo arrived in front of the sixth warehouse of the Stars Chamber of Commerce, feeling a bit impatient.
The note only mentioned the warehouse of the Stars Chamber of Commerce but didn't specify which one.
The Stars Chamber of Commerce was a renowned large business in the entire capital, boasting a total of 13 warehouses in this prime real estate.
He had
Ye Shuangluo rested his chin on his hand, intrigued:
"Gathering so many people in the capital is indeed interesting. Are you planning to assassinate the emperor?"
"Cough, cough."
The chubby man coughed several times, looking at Ye Shuangluo in shock, surprised he dared to say such a thing.
"Young hero Ye, don't joke. The emperor is protected by Immortals. How could we possibly kill him?"
"Yes, the emperor has an immortal body. How could we mere mortals kill him?"
"Exactly, how can we, mere mortals, compare to the emperor's immortal body?"
Ye Shuangluo frowned slightly. These people were supposed to be Rebels, opposing the emperor's incompetence and tyranny, yet they lacked the courage to face him.
Why bother rebelling? They might as well go home and farm.
Noticing Ye Shuangluo's displeasure, the chubby man quickly changed the subject.
"In fact, the first time we heard your name was from Ah Xiong."
Ye Shuangluo followed their gaze and saw that Ah Xiong was the brown-haired young man who had been hostile since he arrived.
"Ah Xiong and young hero Ye are not only from the same clan but also from the same hometown, Wuzhou."
The chubby man realized his mistake as soon as he finished, seeing Ye Xiong's face darken.
Ye Shuangluo smiled and asked:
"Do we know each other?"
"No."
"Then why the long face? Do I owe you something?"
Ye Xiong glared at him, his teeth clashing, seemingly wanting to tear him apart.
"How are Yao Yao and Su Su?"
Ye Shuangluo couldn't recall who these names belonged to.
A woman across the table, seeing Ye Shuangluo's confusion, added:
"Yao Yao and Su Su are twin girls born of a human and a fox."
Ye Shuangluo suddenly understood, smiling:
"Oh~ You should have just said those two beasts. Why give them names?"
Hearing Ye Shuangluo dismissively call them beasts, Ye Xiong exploded.
All thoughts of the bigger picture and patience vanished. He only wanted to kill Ye Shuangluo.
Ye Xiong stood up abruptly, flipping the table.
Sensing hostility, Ye Shuangluo didn't hesitate, adhering to the principle of striking first.
He kicked Ye Xiong in the chest, then quickly grabbed his arm and pulled.
Bang!
Ye Xiong's burly body slammed into the ground. Before anyone could react, Ye Shuangluo raised his long knife.
Slash!
When they realized what had happened, they saw a familiar thick arm flying through the air.
"Ahhh~"
Ye Xiong screamed in agony from the pain of losing his arm.
"Ah Xiong!"
The Rebels panicked, grabbing their weapons to rescue their comrade.
"Don't move."
Ye Shuangluo placed his knife against Ye Xiong's neck, coldly watching the others.
Seeing this, the Rebels hesitated, not daring to move.
"Drop your weapons, or I'll kill him."
To prove he wasn't bluffing, he slightly cut Ye Xiong's neck.
The Rebels exchanged glances, then reluctantly dropped their weapons.
Ye Shuangluo got what he wanted but showed no joy.
In fact, he was disappointed. These people were too stupid.
Dropping their weapons now was like putting their heads on the chopping block.
If all Rebels were this useless, he might consider joining the Thieves’ Guild or working alone.
"Stop."
A small but commanding voice echoed in the warehouse.
The Rebels, who had been at a loss, immediately found their backbone.
They lined up and respectfully bowed to the voice's owner.
Surprisingly, the owner of the voice wasn't a tall, invincible-looking man.
It was a young man, seemingly not much older than Ye Shuangluo.
He wore simple white clothes, plain to the extreme.
But even such simple attire couldn't hide his extraordinary looks.
Sword-like Eyebrows and Starry Eyes, red lips, white teeth, graceful and elegant...
It seemed every word describing handsomeness fit this young man.
Although Ye Shuangluo couldn't see his attributes, he was sure this young man's Charisma was off the charts.
But despite his good looks, he exuded a domineering aura, carrying a red long knife that didn't match his image.
The moment Ye Shuangluo saw him, he had a strong intuition that this was a master, completely different from the indecisive fools around him.
"You must be young hero Ye. I am Su Zhan, the Grand Strategist of the Rebels."
Grand Strategist?
Ye Shuangluo sized up Su Zhan.
Based on looks alone, he did resemble a strategist.
"So, you're in charge here?"
"Yes, I hold the highest position among the Rebels in the capital. I hope young hero Ye can give me some face and spare my subordinate."
Ye Shuangluo looked at the calm Su Zhan, sensing the aura of a strong person.
"I can let him go, but on one condition: you spar with me."
After a moment of silence, Su Zhan nodded.
"...Alright."
