1077 Leader and Subordinate


    “Thest one, herbs information.”


    “They are all here, Master.” Wan Xiong had more knowledge regarding herbs than Cai Yao Shu. Or to be more exact, he had more resources about the herbs that Nan Hua needed because many of them grew in Zhang Xu Kingdom.


    He had more ess.


    And with pulling strings here and there, he managed to obtain quite a lot of information.


    Zhang Xu Kingdom was not called as the most treacherous kingdom without reason. It was also due to their geography that many nts that didn’t manage to grow in other kingdoms could be found.


    They were very useful.


    Specially to make poisons.


    This was why Zhang Xu Kingdom could be said to be exceptionally arrogant in this matter and had a lot of people who learned medicines and poison. In either one of these, the first step was herbs identification.


    This was what Nan Hua currently needed as she might need some specific herbs that was not avable in other ces.


    .....


    “Good. You can go now.”


    Nan Hua stood up and left.


    The other two were staying still inside the VIP room, looking at each other. They knew that from now on, the two of them would have to work together to gather more information from Shi Long Kingdom.


    “Do you have people there?” Cai Yao Shu asked.


    “I do.” Wan Xiong looked at Cai Yao Shu for a moment then added, “ck from Night Rat Organization.”


    “I know you, Wan Xiong.” Cai Yao Shu rolled his eyes. Did Wan Xiong wanted to treat him as an idiot? He has been in the information gathering circle for a long time and worked with countless people.


    Night Rat Organization was famous. And after Nan Hua merged them inside, he naturally investigated more, including the appearance of ck who often appeared outside.


    “You can call me Shu. It’s my real name.”


    But he didn’t give his surname or his first name out.


    Wan Xiong was speechless.


    This young man was more dangerous than what he thought. Besides, he also has some information about Dark Moon Organization, but even Night Rat Organization was not as good as Dark Moon Organization in Fei Yang Kingdom.


    Not to mention, their structure was a bit unclear.


    Not unclear in terms of authorities, but in terms of who were at that position. After all, many of them never actually showed their faces and simply worked behind the scenes.


    Cai Yao Shu was included among those.


    If not because Wan Xiong be part of Dark Moon Organization now, there was no way he would know about Cai Yao Shu at all.


    He narrowed his eyes. “With your capabilities, you can absolutely start an organization on your own. Why do you want to work under Dark Moon Organization?”


    Cai Yao Shu snorted. “I have no obligation to answer your inquiry. But on the basis that we’ll be working together for a long time under Miss’s order, I’ll still give you a simple answer. Why should I?”


    Why should he?


    “You can do whatever you want and…”


    “And what?” Cai Yao Shu shook his head and walked towards the door. “Not everyone dreams to stay at the very top, overlooking everyone just like that of an overlord. I’m a curious person, but I know my limitations. If I try to stand at the very top, there will be too many people eyeing me and wish for my downfall.


    What’s the problem with following her order and worked under someone else? I’m happy to do that.”


    Wan Xiong was silent.


    He looked at Cai Yao Shu and really felt like he was not facing a youth who was only in his early twenties but an experienced veteran. Even he himself would still feel tempted when the former master of Night Rat Organization said that he wanted to pick a sessor.


    But of course, he eventually lost against the former master daughter’s husband.


    That was inevitable.


    Who was he to think that he was more capable than Grey and White. These two worked together was not as simple as 1 + 1. They were more capable than that and Wan Xiong had to acknowledge it.


    He felt a bit dejected.


    But seeing Cai Yao Shu, he understood that the person in front of him was not incapable of reaching out more than what he had done. However, he chose not to do so because he didn’t want to.


    It was troublesome.


    And he was already happy with his current position. It was a good position for him where he was already above a lot of people but only under very few people, including Nan Hua.


    In this position, he was respected and didn’t have to work so hard to live his life.


    It was a dangerous life.


    But it was also a live he wanted to live.


    Since that was the case, why should he trouble himself?


    “People who think like you are rare.” Wan Xiong shook his head.


    Cai Yao Shu chuckled. “If everyone wants to stand at the very top and be the leader, who will be the subordinate? Having a dream is good, but I don’t want to court death by trying to separate myself from being Young Miss’s subordinate.”


    Wan Xiong was speechless.


    At first, he thought that Cai Yao Shu really didn’t have any ambitions.


    But he was wrong.


    It was not like Cao Yao Shu didn’t have any ambitions, but he had already reached high enough in his life that he didn’t really want to think about anything more. Besides, with the current leader was someone who was so capable and had already pulled a lot of people under her…


    *cough*


    If they really tried to go against her, there were too many people who would trample them to death and try to rece them.


    Rather than courting death, why not be honest and fulfill their duties well?


    Life is already hard enough.


    There was no need to make it even harder.
