Chapter 07: Shadow Guards (3)

Shi Tu returned to his home unnoticed by the guards.

In fact, none of the guards had seen Shi Tu's face before, they were guarding without knowing the identity of its owner.

At first, the guards were curious, so they tried to sneak inside with some excuses, but all of them left a miserable scream high enough for the guards outside to hear before they die.

They had died without even knowing how, their throats were suddenly cut off and burst with blood before disappearing without warning.

Since that day, the guards have not dared try to enter, so that many guards have resigned and those who stayed because of the good pay have warned the newcomer so that they don't even think about entering.

In fact, all of them were just camouflage accessories even though their skills were top-class because the real guards were only nine.

Nine shades protect Shi Tu without anyone knowing.

Shadow Guards.

For those who have heard this name without knowing who they are, they will think that this is just a flashy name, but for those who really know them, they really deserve their name because no one can see them when they are killing, if someone was targeted by a Shadow Guard, he will die without knowing how and who killed him.

It came to the point that any big shout in the world dying without knowing the reason is directly attributed to the Shadow Guards.

Then, there is one thing to say.

"He offended him."

Only that person can command them and without his orders, they are no different from ordinary people.

A person is so scary that they don't dare pronounce his name easily out of fear.

A word from that person is enough to send half of humanity to hell without a grave.

Just, no one knows that the most important goal and the main purpose of the Shadow Guards are not killing or take out impossible missions but something more simple.

Take care of their master's daily needs.

Shi Tu returned home and lay on his comfy bed as if he had been sentenced to ten years of hard work and he just get his freedom.

After some rest, Shi Tu opened his eyes and said, "Come, Shadow Shield"

Shi Tu spoke in a cold, emotionless like a robot, not a living human way.

Seconds later, a shadow appeared and kneeled in front of Shi Tu.

He wore dark black clothes covering all parts of his body, including his face. He had a fragile structure like a spoiled teenager who had never done any strenuous work and it was hard to tie him to the name of the Shadow Shield. but he is really one of the nine Shadow Guards, this fragile body has claimed countless lives.

"Did you make all the preparations?"

In front of the Shadow Guards, Shi Tu didn't show any false emotions or try to claim anything, in front of them he can act as he wants without reservations.

This was the nature of Shi Tu that no one saw except the Shadow Guards, whose their loyalty to him reached the utmost level of fanaticism and he doesn't have to try to gain their loyalty or gratitude. For them, Shi Tu is their faith and His words are the heavenly decree that must be obeyed.

"Yes, everything is ready as you requested."

The response of the Shadow Shield was brief because he didn't dare to say any unnecessary words in front of Shi Tu or rather he didn't dare to waste the time of his master and breath the same air for a long time.

"Well, you can leave, and don't forget the role of the shield if there is a shield that should be you."

Although Shi Tu remembered and warned him, his tone is still that of a robot.

"As you wish"

The shadow shield disappeared from the place as if it were not present at all

'Okay, now I must settle Alice's matter'

Shi Tu stopped and stretched a little because he couldn't get any exercise for a few days.

Shi Tu adjusted his mood and returned to his "nature", then picked up his phone and called Alice.

  Ringing Ringing Ringing Ringing

The phone rang a little before Alice answers

"It's rare that you call me, Did something happen?"

Although Alice was happy, she knew that he wouldn't call her just to check on her, so she inquired directly without even greeting.

"How was the matter with Lin family?"

As Alice expected, this is his goal.

Alice didn't show any feelings of resentment or disappointment because the sun will shine from the west if Shi Tu behaves kindly with her.

"They have tacit agreed and want to discuss the rest tonight. I booked the royal suite at the Sun Hotel tonight for dinner."

" Well no problem "

"....."

"Do you need anything else?"

Alice didn't dare hang up on Shi Tu's face, but because he remained silent, she felt it was strange.

"Cancel your schedule for the rest of the day and return immediately."

Shi Tu hangs up immediately and didn't allow Alice to respond.

Alice felt that was a little weird so she got called back but Shi Tu's phone was off.

Alice was puzzled by the fact that today she has two very important meetings, but Shi Tu knows and nevertheless orders her to cancel it.

After Shi Tu closed the phone, he went to the kitchen and started preparing food.

...........................

Lin's family residence.

Lin Chenshui entered her father's office after he called her and told her to return quickly so she left the lecture and came back.

Because it seemed serious, Lin Chenshui didn't dare tell her father what had happened before she knew the seriousness of the matter, but she was naive if she thought her father wouldn't know.

Lin Chenshui entered and seems that her father is a little excited, so she thought he didn't know but his next words shocked her.

"Shui'er I will not say anything on what you did this morning because that young man has hidden himself well. This is not your fault."

"Dad, what are you ..." Lin Chenshui was shocked and didn't know what she was saying because she at least understood that she had caused a big problem to the family, so how does her father is not angry?

"What? Did you think I wouldn't know about something like this? Don't worry, maybe I would worry because of his unknown background yesterday but not today hahaha"

Lin Chengu was very happy and couldn't hold back his laugh.

Lin Chenshui was a little surprised that she rarely saw her father excited

Soon Lin Chengu held himself up and said, "We are about to get a big deal with the Shi family."

"Dad, you don't mean ..."

"Yes! that Shi family, whose wealth is compared to the Three Great Families in the new capital."

Lin Chenshui's mind had been out of work for a while before she grasped it and then asked, "Weren't they always neutral? Outside the business, they didn't cooperate with anyone, so why would they want this now?"

Some contempt and ridicule appeared on Lin Chenguo's face.

"Money alone is not enough. To protect money, they need influence and power. The Shi family lacks both, even though they have the money, but they have no political or military relationship, meaning that they have no support. The guards and mercenaries can't be enough."

Lin Chenshui didn't understand it well so she asked stupidly again, "But didn't they survive a whole year?"

"This is only because no one was interested in an ordinary company but now? it's a big company and everyone wants a part of the cake. The Shi family owns all the shares of Shi Group. Do you think they can keep it? No!! Most likely, they are now under great pressure, they need support quickly for survival.''

Lin Chenshui began to understand it but something baffled her. "I understand now, but why we? With their wealth, it's best to search directly for one of the three families, right?"

"They simply lack the confidence of one of the three families. These families will never give their daughters to unreliable parties, so they had to choose a family closely related to one of the three families."

Suddenly a bell rang in the mind of Lin Chenshui and her face became a little pale.

" D-dad, you don't say that I am ...."

Lin Chengu smiled and said, "Exactly, if all goes well, you will likely marry into the Shi family."
