She had no idea who those two ladies might be, but she didn't want to take any risks right now. That was even the reason she instructed Jiang Bo to capture them.
In no ti she had entered the interrogation area, where the two ladies had been separated in different rooms, so they could have no contact with each other.
Entering the first room, Tianlong Xia was kind of surprised seeing that this woman was around in her thirties, but when she checked on her earlier she looked younger.
It wasn't that she paid much attention to her look, but she definitely looked younger earlier. This ant she was using so kind of masking art.
She would be a good addition to train their shadows in that art, but at first, she had to find out what she wanted from her.
At this mont Jiang Bo who was in the room ca close to Tianlong Xia and said with a whisper,
Jiang Bo:" According to our data Master, these two aren't related to any of the big organizations.
Supposedly these two are roaming thieves that thought they could have a blast by following you and Gao Ling.
Lately, there has been an increase in such people in the city, especially after the happenings. They are here trying their luck and skills."
Tianlong Xia heard his report calmly and didn't say anything. Her face looked cold and calm, just like a bad cop in the movies.
Taking the file from Jiang Bo's hand she took a detailed look at all the information in there, and getting almost to the sa conclusion as Jiang Bo, she sat across the woman, and said,
Tianlong Xia:" How about you work for ? I will make sure to pay you well, and you won't have to be a petty thief anymore."
The thief lady was caught unprepared, and her jaw almost dropped. She didn't expect such a thing, when she got captured she thought this was it for her.
And now she got offered a job? By what seed like the leader of the people that captured her? This happened for the first ti, she was stupefied for a mont.
Not knowing what to answer.
But before she could say a thing, Tianlong Xia continued,
Tianlong Xia:" Your job will be easy, you will teach to a group of students all your skills and knowledge. And as repaynt you will get money, and why not resources to deepen your cultivation!"
The more she heard, the more she got stunned. The petty thief was truly stupefied at this mont. This offer was too good to be true. Where was the catch on this?
And once again Tianlong Xia had the upper hand saying,
Tianlong Xia:" The catch is that once you are part of us, you will never be able to get out. You will have to live and die with us!"
Hearing this, the petty thief lady was able to make a bit sense of what she was hearing, and recomposing herself a bit, she said,
Thief Lady:" So what are you, so kind of organization, like EITS or sothing!?"
Now it was Tianlong Xia's turn to get surprised, this woman was supposed to be just a weak petty thief lady, but she had information over EITS.
But she didn't show her surprise on her face, she just continued with the calm and cold look, and said,
Tianlong Xia:" It may be, or it may not. You don't have the right of knowing that yet.
Now give an easy answer, do you accept my offer or not?"
The thief lady seed to be in a tight spot, she didn't have much choice, did she? She was captured by soone clearly stronger than her, and brought here, where she couldn't make sense of anything.
Now she was offered a job and a way out of her profession, but the people offering it were completely unknown to her. This ti she had mixed herself with sothing too big for her.
But there was one more concern for her, as she said,
Thief Lady:" What about my partner!?"
Tianlong Xia kept her calm and cold look on her face while saying,
Tianlong Xia:" Partner!? Don't you an your daughter!?"
This was the mont that the thief lady understood that she was against sothing bigger than she had ever thought. Probably these guys were just like EITS and should have been part of the untouchable list.
Her client in this case most probably wanted to test their strength, but in the end, she ended up being just tasty bait, to a really big fish.
Looking at Tianlong Xia with seriousness on her face, she answered,
Thief lady:" I accept your offer, but you better not treat us badly. Also, I will not dissolve any information about my previous employers."
Tianlong Xia knew that this woman must have so really good information stored, but right now that wasn't a priority, not to ntion the temptation of resources.
She gave this woman, 5 months at the top. She would be coming willingly to tell them everything.
Showing a dazzling smile for the first ti since she entered here, Tianlong Xia said,
Tianlong Xia:" Very well, welco aboard.
But please don't do or think anything stupid, you get only one warning!"
During the end of her words, her face turned cold once again, and the thief lady could feel so chills on her back.
Saying this, Tianlong Xia made for the door, but not before saying,
Tianlong Xia:" You can convince your daughter yourself. She is in the next room, soone will accompany you there.
She will be your guard and jailer. Try to be on her good books, she is quite.. special!"
With that said, she disappeared behind the door with Jiang Bo, and without turning her head she said,
Tianlong Xia:" What do you think about her Jiang Bo?"
Jiang Bo was a bit surprised that his Master asked such a question, but he answered honestly,
Jiang Bo:" Most probably she isn't as petty as she sells herself to be, and she was hired to follow you. But she underestimated us too much."
Tianlong Xia was surprised that Jiang Bo gave such an answer because this was exactly what she was thinking. Her Hubby truly knew how to spot talent.
Walking forward with the sa pace, she said,
Tianlong Xia:" Yes you are right!
But it is precise because of this that we need her, we need her skills and knowledge for our shadows. Place the identical twins in a group of 10 and sent them as their students.
Also, send Shen Hong as her guard, and tell her not to take her eyes off her. That woman is hiding too many things right now, we need to be careful around her."
Jiang Bo didn't seem surprised at his Master's words, and just said,
Jiang Bo:" Yes Master!"
But just as he was about to leave this place to carry on with his assignnt, Tianlong Xia continued,
Tianlong Xia:" Before you go, there is sothing else you need to do.
Go to the Tianlong's House and prepare Huo Lan to be sent to Patriarch. He needs her presence in his secluded cultivation cave."
Hearing the instructions, Jiang Bo acknowledged his assignnt, and left Tianlong Xia alone in her thoughts, walking through the underground facility.
From now on, she would be the head of their Clan, until her hubby got out of the secluded cultivation.
It wasn't going to be easy that was for sure, but it wasn't like she was a newbie in this. She had been the Dragon Empress for so long, that even if she was an idiot she would have learned sothing.
Right now was one of the most delicate stages of their growth. They had just turned from a seed into a seedling and had to make sure that this seedling blood.
But the good thing was that she had a lot of help from her sisters and other people, and she didn't have to do everything alone.
While thinking like this, she went towards the training grounds for the new courtesans. She didn't have ti to lose, her special task took priority at the mont.
Arriving there everything seed to be going smoothly, and the ladies were really giving it their all to learn about the art of courtesan ship, but not only.
They were taught also many different things, like general knowledge, martial arts, singing, dancing, and a lot of other things, which would make them complete high-class courtesans.
Looking at their faces, there were a few that truly tried hard to learn, and a few that just thought they were higher paid prost*tutes, and just half-assed the programs.
With just one look Tianlong Xia was able to select her first seeds for her task, but just let them continue with the other ladies.
But they were sure to get a visit soon and have a life-changing opportunity coming at their door.
In the anti sowhere far away from 'the Mansion', a woman was lying down on a chair. She was looking at the moon and reminiscing about sothing.
She didn't know how it happened, but now all her life revolved around one person, 'her daddy'. All her ambitions for power and wealth had gone to secondary objective, and 'her daddy' beca first.
It was truly strange, but then rembering her past, perhaps it wasn't that strange. It was just that, the horrid face of her nightmares, was replaced by the handso face of her new 'daddy'.
She had just gotten her instructions to beco the head of the new chain of restaurants, and that soon she would have to start her journey to implent them.
Not to ntion, that really soon she would have to go join the rcenary groups for so ti. The problem was that during all this ti, her 'daddy' wouldn't be there.
She would miss his presence, and his warmness inside her. Thinking up to here though made a spark light inside her, she would make sure to complete her duty with flying stars.
With these thoughts in mind, slowly a grin started to appear on her face
