Chapter 18 (1/2)
”Out of all the things you guys could have called me, why king?”
Those were Huang Yu's words as he stared down the three men he had made into his henchmen the week prior.
The three men didn't dare to meet Huang Yu in the eye. They found the floor particularly interesting as they answered, ”My king, Guang Biao was the one who suggested that we call you this. He said that you are destined to be the hegemon that reigns supreme over the world with your great power. Hence, we are merely calling you by your deserved title ahead of time.”
Huang Yu's left eye twitched when he heard this.
Had he messed up when he was making changes to Guang Biao's brain? This wasn't what he had intended when he put down 'loyalty' in his head. This was nearer to the lines of fanaticism.
With a sigh, Huang Yu rubbed his forehead as he could feel a migraine coming on.
”You… forget it. Just take me to Guang Biao. I want to see what gift he has in store for me.”
”””Yes, my King!”””
”Keep your voice down. It's really embarrassing you know.”
”””We apologise, my King!”””
Huang Yu was really starting to regret his decision to make these guys his minions.

The three men brought Huang Yu to an abandoned warehouse at a more secluded part of the city.
Looking at the building from the outside, Huang Yu thought it looked pretty well maintained for something like an abandoned warehouse.
One of the men noticed Huang Yu's stare. ”My King, this place is only an abandoned warehouse in name. In reality, Guang Biao uses this place for many of his undertable deals.”
”I see.”
The door to the abandoned warehouse suddenly burst open as Guang Biao ran out and kneeled on one knee to Huang Yu.
”I apologise for not coming to meet you personally my King, but I was preparing something that couldn't be entrusted nor shown to someone else. I—”
”Stop.” Huang Yu said drily. ”I need to check on your brain first.”
Guang Biao seemed dumbfounded at those words. Thoughts ran through his head as he tried to recall if he did anything that displeased his king.
Huang Yu ignored this and placed his hand on Guang Biao's head.
With the King's Wisdom, he scanned through Guang Biao's head to see what had changed inside.
However, to Huang Yu's dismay, there was no change. It was still the same as he left it.
Was this how Guang Biao would act if he was actually loyal to a person? Wasn't this a little bit too much?
Nevermind. It's better not to think too much about it. As long as Guang Biao did his job well, he would let Guang Biao call him whatever he wanted.
Huang Yu sighed before taking his hand off of Guang Biao's forehead. ”I'm done. Now what did you want to gift me?”
Guang Biao's face instantly brightened up. ”Of course my king.”
A small book with a slightly ripped cover was taken out from Guang Biao's ċhėst pocket. Then, with both hands, he presented it to Huang Yu.
”Here it is my king.”
Huang Yu raised an eyebrow. ”What's so important about this book?”
A giant grin appeared on Guang Biao's face as he answered, ”My king, this book was written by a person known as the divine doctor! This book contains all his life's work!”
”Why would he put all his life's work into a book?”
”My king, he wrote this book for his long-lost son. Unfortunately, after he died, his son was not talented enough to learn from this book. Hence, his son sold it off for money. I was the person who bought it from him. Unfortunately, I wasn't talented enough to comprehend it as well. However, I'm sure that if anyone could learn it, it would definitely be you!”
Huang Yu took the book from Guang Biao's hands. He took a short glimpse of its contents before both his eyes widened in shock.
”This… Guang Biao, what are these set of techniques called?” Huang Yu asked with an incredulous voice.
With the large grin still on his face, Guang Biao answered, ”It's called—

The day for the finals of the Class Promotion Tournament had arrived. It had been delayed for a week due to a hurricane hitting the city. This had given a lot of time for the students from grade one class five to progress.
