Nightmare’s Call

“You owe me one!”

Khadula slowly made her way to Yuleen’s side as she bent down and gently placed her hand over Yuleen’s bullet wound on her chest.

A shapeless life energy flowed into Yuleen’s body.

“I’ll tell you first. I never saved anyone before, and once I do that with this child, her body will change with my powers, and will be forever tainted with that evil aura you detest.”

“Why are you here?” the Steel Lord calmly asked.

“The master asked me to follow you. And it seems like you have made another mistake.” Khadula sniggered.

“But no worries, although you are still alone just like the past, you have us to cover your back.”

The Steel Lord did not say anything, as a weird feeling welled up in him.

“Remember, you owe me one.” Khadula pulled her hand back and turned to leave.

“Don’t you hate me?” the Steel Lord asked.

“I do, but who got us to be comrades?” Khadula smiled on the surface but wanted to puke inside. But for effect, she still kept the façade.

The Steel Lord got up as he picked Yuleen up in his arms before looking impassively at Khadula as she disappeared into the desert.

A few villagers came out to have a look and only saw a few bodies on the ground before retreating with their guns.

No one bothered with who was dead on the ground. There were too many to even bother.

…

Lin Sheng made detailed contact with the soldiers he had left in Xilin. He had previously left a few Vault Wardens there to protect Sarroux and Chen Minjia. While the soldiers were stationed in Xilin, his capabilities now would allow him to sense what state the soldiers there were in.

If anyone were to do anything to Sarroux or Chen Minjia, his soldiers would resist and bring them to safety.

Since there was no news, that meant that Xiao Weiqi was simply bluffing.

After leaving the shop, Lin Sheng looked for his parents to ask for Chen Minjia’s contact details before calling her with his satellite phone.

His disciple Adolf too quickly arranged his men to investigate the matter and to gather information.

Even though Adolf’s family was not the biggest conglomerate in Shermanton, but they still have businesses all over the country, and most certainly internationally as well.

While Xilin was in a state of chaos now, Adolf’s family business still had dealings in both Redwin and Miga, and have hired many workers from both countries. So sending the locals to investigate made things much easier.

Barely half a day later, there was news from Xilin.

Chen Minjia was now in Miga negotiating business, while the Lins were still living within Redwinian-occupied zones. Only Sarroux had disappeared as he led a few core Ironfist Society members underground with his father.

“So that is to say that person was just bluffing?” Lin Sheng sat by the school garden as he looked at the male students playing basketball on the court.

Adolf, on the other hand, was going through the information received from Xilin.

“Probably so, my men had checked and that Xiao Weiqi person once belonged to a mysterious department within the Xilin government, but some time back, a couple of Xilin’s army divisions were defeated in pitched battles, with many soldiers routing, the central government is probably on its last legs…”

Adolf had to stop as his master was someone form Xilin.

Lin Sheng gently stroked his fingers through the green leaves, as he felt the gentle prickly sensation.

“Is there any way to get someone out from Xilin?” I will speak to someone I know from the Redwinian military and get them to cooperate.

“How about I go?” Khadula came out from the corner of the wall, her face bore that innocent yet seductive smile.

This was the second time Adolf saw Khadula, and his emotions went unchecked as he sprang up.

Most normal people would want to think that Khadula was cute and will want to hug her. But he was different. When he was rescued that day, he saw Khadula controlling a large number of pale arms and easily captured the seemingly invincible Zeon Sr.

“Have you settled the thing I got you to do?” Lin Sheng looked at Khadula and sent a telepathic message.

“Of course. For such a simple matter, a split body would do.” Khadula smiled at Lin Sheng again, as though she was trying to curry favor. “So, let me go there?”

A theatre of war was the best place for Khadula to heal and grow. She needs to consume a large number of arms and human essence.

“Your notoriety is too great, and you’ll definitely run into trouble.” Lin Sheng shook his head.

“No worries, I can change my looks again,” Khadula quickly added.

Lin Sheng pondered for a moment.

“Alright, head there yourself and get them over here.”

“Understood.”

“I’ll send someone to lead the way!” Adolf volunteered. “Father and big sis have given me some number of authority.”

“Sorry to trouble you, then.” Lin Sheng nodded.

“Don’t be, it is my pleasure.” Adolf quickly nodded.

He did not understand why his master still decided to stay in the campus. Perhaps he wanted to experience a normal life or blend into society, or it could be some other reason.

However, it was not his place to say anything. As long as he could accomplish whatever his master wishes, and then meditate daily, this was the most fulfilling thing for him now.

He had no idea if it was just him, but he was particularly taken in by the meditation, as he could feel that he was growing stronger by the moment with this training method.

“Alright, dismissed.” Lin Sheng stood up. He wanted to check if the Steel Lord’s spiritual blockage was still there.

He had used Yuleen and gotten Khadula to appear at the most fortuitous moments. After so much effort into the act, he would totally be at a loss if this did not work.

Seeing Lin Sheng leaving, Adolf bowed reverently as he turned towards the school gate. His car and driver were waiting for him there.

“Master, won’t you praise me as well?” Khadula stood alone and started mumbling to herself.

“You are me, what’s the point of praising myself?” Lin Sheng’s voice rang out in her mind.

“Have you never heard of self-encouragement and rewarding one-self?” Khadula retorted.

“Alright… What sort of reward you want?” Lin Sheng could feel that the Steel Lord’s soul was slowly thawing.

“I want to sleep with you!!”

“Huh???”

…

Lin Sheng left the dorm under the gaze of his fellow dorm mates as if they were looking at a pervert.

He felt that it was getting more and more inconvenient to live on campus, and decided to move out. Adolf’s men had managed to find him a house about ninety square meters wide to rent.

He did not have many personal items, and upon gathering his stuff, he informed the school and moved out.

He never expected Khadula to appear when he moved. That bugger actually left a double here.

The first thing she said was, “Big bro, can you bathe with me?”

Lin Sheng was totally helpless then.

Khadula looked no more than a twelve-year-old girl. She was no taller than Lin Sheng’s waist, and when the two stood side by side, the difference in size akin to a bear and a bunny. Besides, as pretty, as seductive, and as well-endowed as Khadula was, she was still a young girl.
