SWNOVELS Chapter 88: Closure and loyalty
Turning his head toward the laugh Yun Bao was shocked because right now Tianlong Yun had taken of his mask and was laughing while looking at the bullet that was supposed to be in his heart on his hand.
He was really stunned he had only seen his boss try to do this once and still he got injured the bullet entered his hand, but looking closely at this guy he only had a small red dot at the place where the bullet was supposed to pass, like a mosquito bite.
But he wasn't the only one who was stunned by this view because even Feng Tao couldn't believe his eyes, this guy was one of those guys. Actually Feng Tao was also a cultivator if you could call him like that only that he had practiced only martial arts.
And his stage well we can say that he had just passed the first small stage of the Body Transformation stage. Even though cultivation was kept hidden a lot of people were using martial arts as a way to reach beyond the limits of the human body.
The knowledge for cultivation was kept as a hidden secret for the families and sects around the world who stayed hidden from normal people's eyes. But that is a story for later.
Right now looking at Tianlong Yun being fine and holding the bullet on his hand, Feng Tao lost all hope for a comeback and didn't know what to do but fall on his knees and beg.
Feng Tao:"Please forgive me Young master, please forgive me. I had eyes but couldn't see mount Tai. All this was Yun Bao's fault he made me come here." It wasn't that he didn't have his pride as a triads head, but these guys were really scary.
The ones he had met could do a lot of bad stuff and torture their targets for months without killing, he knew that the bigger triad heads kept people like him in hundreds. He was just a relatively big fish in a small pond.
But Tianlong Yun with his power was like a shark in this small pond so he didn't dare to wait a second more to ask for forgiveness. While he was doing and saying this Yun Bao was shocked, he knew he had been sold and adding his previous insult and actions he was a goner.
So without thinking much he run towards the door to leave this place and escape, it wasn't that he didn't thought of hitting Tianlong Yun but a bullet couldn't kill the guy so what could he do? He wasn't that foolish as to think he could kill such a guy.
But how could Tianlong Yun give him permission to leave this place without bothering with Feng Tao who was pleading on the ground he run after Yun Bao, reaching him quickly he jumped forward and making a turn in the air he slapped him on the face knocking him out.
Finally in the warehouse were left only him, the kids, an injured Jiang Bo and Feng Tao whom he quickly knocked out after Yun Bao. He didn't had the nerves to deal with these guys right now.
Just as he was about to talk to the kids he heard the door of the warehouse open and a startled Doctor Song entered inside, he had totally forgot that he had a meeting with him today.
But it was good news that Doctor Song was here because Jiang Bo needed urgent treatment so that his broken leg could recuperate. So looking towards Doctor Song he said with a relaxed tone,
Tianlong Yun:"Doctor Song I know this is shocking but now it's not the time to be shocked so go and treat Jiang Bo quickly."
Doctor Song was truly shocked but knowing there is a emergency his doctor's instinct kicked in and he went towards Jiang Bo. Meanwhile Tianlong Yun turned to the kids and looked at them.
There were 16 kids in the room, from the age 8 to 15 or 16 like him. There were 6 girls and 10 boys in there, and two of the girls which were around 15 years old were looking at him with star struck eyes, it was clear that they liked him, but now was not the time for that.
Looking at them carefully for some time he started his speech,
Tianlong Yun:"Hello everybody my name is Tianlong Yun,
I am the one who took you from the streets and gave you a shelter and food.
I know many of you are asking why I did this since there is no free lunch in this world.
And you are right there is nothing such a thing as free lunch in this world.
I took you in and gave you a shelter so that you could become my strength.
I took you in and feed you so that you will be loyal to me for your whole life.
I want to give you power that you have never imagined before if you swear your loyalty to me.
I promise you that no one would treat you like a trash anymore and that you will be by my side as long as you are loyal to me.
This would be a really tough decision for a normal kid your age.
But you are not normal, you have lived your life and seen the truth of this world.
Now I am giving you a better life with the condition of laying that life for me.
Do you accept???
If you don't you can go on and leave this place behind without feeling any obligation, cutting any chance.
If you accept you will open a new path and a new future for yourselves."
Finishing his speech he looked with a firm and cold look on the faces of the 16 kids in front of him, like he wanted to spy on their souls to confirm their resolve and decision.
The kids were startled at first, after all this was the first time they had heard such a thing. But they had truly seen the truth of this world, the law of jungle and survival of the fittest. They knew they had no future out in the streets and probably they would either die or become organs for the rich people.contemporary romance
But the person who had saved them from that life was offering them an opportunity towards a new and bigger world, so what meaning was there in lying their lives, if he hadn't saved them they wouldn't have one to begin with.
He had saved them by giving them shelter and food firstly and saved them from the bad guys again today. Furthermore he was rich and strong so beside him they would become even stronger and be able to protect their savior and themselves.
They already owed him two lives and he was just asking for one in return. Coming to a conclusion all the kids in the warehouse screamed at the same time,
Kids:"Master Tianlong this servant swears loyalty to you and promise to give his life only for you and always obey your orders." It was pretty touchy and funny hearing 16 kids swear this to another kid.
But nobody would laugh in this situation. Tianlong Yun satisfied at their answer said with a small smile,
Tianlong Yun:"Very well from this day you will be surnamed Tianlong and will be my shadow and the core of my foundation. From this day we will be a family, with me as the head."
The kids were really happy they finally had a family, the only unhappy ones were the two girls who liked him because they thought they had lost their chance for him to like them back. Seeing their face Tianlong Yun approached them and said,
Tianlong Yun:"Don't worry if fate wills it, everything can happen."
These simple words made the girls happy immediately and they joined the crowd in their cheers. After all this meant they had a chance, they weren't ignorant to the relationship between man and woman after all they had seen it a lot while begging in the red light district.
When the cheers ended Tianlong Yun continued with a firm voice,
Tianlong Yun:"Don't enjoy too early, now that you have accepted my proposal you will have to train hard and cultivate to become really strong beside me. I will give you the opportunity to gain strength to fly and kill with a thought but you have to use that opportunity and train. Are we clear?"
His words left the kids stunned after all flying and killing with a thought wasn't that just fantasy? But remembering that a bullet couldn't kill their family head they were convinced at his words and were even more enthusiast to start training.
After all they had already suffered so much in the streets, the hunger, thirst, humiliation, beating and a lot of other things. Pain wasn't unknown to them, and now that they had a chance to obtain something great just by suffering a bit more then why would they hesitate.
Doctor Song had been treating Jiang Bo all this time but he heard everything that Tianlong Yun said and he was shocked, stunned he thought that perhaps Tianlong Yun was just a lunatic like all the other criminals on the streets.
That's why he was looking at him with a look of doubt and suspicion. Tianlong Yun noticing Doctor Songs look turned to him and said,
Tianlong Yun:"You don't believe me?"…
