1699 The Head 2
A few days ago
Elder Qianji told him that people from Piaomiao Pavilion found that the Head of the Shadow Door was most likely his eighth son, and this was the first time for him to meet Mr. Head.
Properly-dressed in black and shadowed by the silver mask, this Head of the Shadow Door did not reveal his appearance to anyone.
However, he was almost sure that this man was not his eighth son.
His eighth son was never this imposing. He could never be this confident.
He was not capable enough to run a place like Shadow Door.
Elder Qianji was just lying to him.
He would have convinced himself that he just looked down at his eighth son before they met.
However he met this man and was sure that he was not looking down at his eighth son. He really did not believe that this Head was his son.
The King finally felt relieved.
The Jiang Family must have hidden his eighth son somewhere. He was not the Head of the Shadow Door, definitely not.
The King threw a disdainful look at the Head, saying, You have done a lot for the capital. You have killed many monsters and saved many civilians.
You have performed well. The court has witnessed it all. You have done a good job as the inst.i.tution in the society.
What do you want? the King asked Zhou Huaijin in a silver mask.
No matter how capable the Shadow Door was, it was nothing more than a social inst.i.tution.
They did not want to meet him and acted mysteriously, because they wanted to get more good things out of the court.
Now they had done so much and came to the court personally, because they were here to make a deal.
So he was not going to suggest anything.
He would give them anything, as long as he was able to do so.
Then he could incorporate the Shadow Door into the court to serve him. He would tell them not to do anything stupid like stopping the monsters.
That was a stupid move that ruined his plan.
There were only a couple of days before Elder Qianjis deadline. He would not be able to get the immortal pills if the Golden Rolls was not offered.
The King was so angry when he thought about this.
If not for the lack of forces, the King would definitely remove this so-called Shadow Door.
What do you plan to do with the monsters? The Right General next to Zhou Huaijin asked.
The King frowned upon hearing the question.
With the monsters?
He was telling them to tell him their conditions. What was the point of mentioning the monsters?
He would give them authority, money or mansions, anything they wanted.
Shut up. What rights do you have to speak with me? Let your Head speak with me. You have done so much because you want power and money, so say everything straightforwardly, the King said impatiently. Dont talk about the monsters with me. When you are incorporated into the court, you are not allowed to fight against the monsters. You must obey me!
What do you plan to do about monsters? The Right General repeated.
The King was irritated.
He stood up and expressed his utter displeasure towards the Head.
He came to his front. Who do you think you are? Wearing a mask and not speaking to me? Fine, then we will not talk!
As he spoke, the King reached out to the mask, trying to rip it off.
