The Human Emperor (1-200)

C149: Preparations!

“Young master!”

Suddenly, footsteps sounded from behind. Dressed in a black robe, Shen Hai walked over from the depths of the shadows.

“I’ve already checked, and there hasn’t been any peculiar old man appearing in the vicinity recently. No one else has appeared in this house either.”

Shen Hai said.

There were a few other Wang Family Residence guards following behind him.

For this operation, the guards had split into two groups. One was led by Wang Chong while the other one was led by Shen Hai. Even though they came by different routes following different clues, they eventually converged at this location.

“Seems like the Demonic Emperor Old Man hasn’t appeared yet!”

Wang Chong thought as he stared at the starry sky above.

Initially, Wang Chong thought that he might be a little too late for this operation. If the Demonic Emperor Old Man had already found Zhou Wen, then that would be the worst case scenario.

But from the looks of it, even though Wang Chong had noticed the clue a little late, it seemed like the incident hadn’t occurred yet.

In other words, he still stood a chance.

“For the next few days, you all will follow him. Deploy all of the guards in the Wang Family Residence for this and take note of every single action of his. Also, inform Wei Hao of the matter and borrow some men from their side for this operation as well.”

Wang Chong said.

“However, if we were to deploy all of the guards from the residence for this operation, what if another assassination occurs?”

Shen Hai frowned.

If not for Arloja, Ablonodan, and Tuoba Guiyuan, the Charax Spasinu assassins might have successfully gotten in then. Madam Wang was still living in the residence, and her safety had to be considered.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already informed Miyasame Ayaka to return.”

Wang Chong smiled. Given that the Assassin Pavilion had been cleared out, there was nothing that could threaten the Wang Clan now. Besides, he had Li Zhuxin by his side as well.

During this period of time, he just had to keep Li Zhuxin in the residence. One will remain in the open while the other one hides in the dark. On top of that, Arloja, Ablonodan, and Tuoba Guiyuan will be there as well. Even though there will only be five people there, the Wang Family Residence could be considered as an impregnable fortress already!

No one who tries to enter will be able to get out alive!

“Right, have you all got any news on that Mosaide yet?”

Wang Chong asked.

“Not yet.”

Shen Hai shook his head.

“We’ve already questioned the other Charax Spasinu merchants via Big Golden Tooth, and there isn’t anyone called Mosaide among them. However, there is a person named Sulaiman who happens to be a close fit to our description.”

“Sulaiman?”

Wang Chong eyebrows twitched. “You said that his name is Sulaiman?”

“Yes, young master. However, based on the news we got, he has already left the capital for Charax Spasinu about a month ago.”

Thinking that Wang Chong didn’t catch his words clearly, Shen Hai repeated.

Silence drifted across the dark night, and Wang Chong gazed at the skies with a bizarre expression. An inexplicable feeling welled within his heart.
