"Alright Eldest Brother, it was just a false alarm, better than really running into something!"
"Let's go, we're going to find whoever made that sound!"
The men around him hurriedly tried to calm him down. Finally, Eldest Brother pointed at Sixth Brother, "You! The one with his pants stained, go to the front!"
"Take this chance to practice your pathetic courage. Don't piss your pants again when we head back out!"
As Sixth Brother walked to the front, he said somewhat aggrievedly, "I...I didn't piss my pants..."
The men around him burst out laughing. Eldest Brother slapped Sixth Brother hard on the head, "Shut your mouth! Go on!"
With no choice, embarrassed Sixth Brother had to lead the group of men.
Under cover of night, the group swiftly crossed half the square and stopped behind Rong Yuan's armored vehicle.
Old Three in the group was skilled with car modifications. Looking at the vehicle in front of him, he suddenly banged his fist against the armored panel.
The loud noise scared the other men.
They turned to look and saw that Old Three had punched the armor panel of the vehicle.
Second Brother whispered harshly, “Old Three, what are you doing?!”
Old Three chuckled and pointed at the armor panel, “Second Brother, this is a good item! If we get it off, it’ll sell for good money!”
No one in the group spoke. Second Brother looked to Eldest Brother, even in the darkness he could see—
Eldest Brother’s face was black as iron.
What a useless bunch, f**k...
A bunch of thieves at someone else’s door, but all Old Three could think of was prying off some steel plates from their car?!
Eldest Brother couldn’t be bothered to remind the idiot that he could just steal the whole car.
Eldest Brother took a deep breath to calm himself. He decided not to bother with stupid Old Three for now.
Slap!
Eldest Brother slapped Sixth Brother’s back, “Why’re you dawdling?! Go find an empty room and get in through the window!”
Sixth Brother looked at his pants helplessly, “Boss, can we...not climb through windows?”
Slap!!
This time Eldest Brother’s slap landed right on Sixth Brother’s head, “You idiot! The rooms without windows definitely have cameras!”
“Oh...okay...”
Sixth Brother rubbed his head and looked towards the clinic’s main building. His eyes swept past the reception hall in front...
Sixth Brother saw that the previously empty reception hall now had a small figure about a meter tall that seemed to be peering in their direction!
Sixth Brother froze in shock, then rubbed his eyes. When he looked again, the figure was gone.
Just as Sixth Brother was about to head out, Old Four behind him spoke up, “Boss, I seemed to see...a kid standing in that alcove in front of the building...”
The “alcove in front of the building” referred to the reception hall.
After Old Four spoke, Old Seven also said, “Boss, I think I saw something too.”
Second Brother: “Now that you two say it...I think I caught a glimpse too.”
Hearing them, Sixth Brother’s legs went soft and he almost collapsed.
Feeling the roaring icy draft through his torn pants, Sixth Brother looked pleadingly back at Eldest Brother.
Slap!!
As expected, Eldest Brother slapped Sixth Brother’s head crisply and happily again!
“I’ll be damned, I’m really cursed with you useless cowards!”
“It makes perfect f**king sense for a kid to be up peeing in the middle of the night! That scares all your pants off?!”
Hearing Eldest Brother’s words, everyone felt that it made sense.
So this time, Sixth Brother finally gathered his courage, hitched up his pants, and sneaked towards the main building.
The group crossed the square to the building exterior. Since Eldest Brother forbid going through the reception hall, Sixth Brother randomly picked a room window and gently pushed—
It opened.
The men behind hadn’t expected Sixth Brother to luck out by randomly finding an unlocked window.
In this day and age where life was cheaper than dogs, people who slept without locking doors and windows were rare.
Seeing the open window, Eldest Brother felt they were already halfway to pulling this off.
Slap!!
He slapped Sixth Brother’s back and gave a thumbs up, “Good job, you take the lead. Go on in!”
Sixth Brother hadn't intended to climb through the window in the first place, considering his pants were already flapping open.
But he didn't dare defy Eldest Brother. He hitched up his waistband, then leapt and grabbed the outer window ledge—
Rip!
In that instant, the draft through his already open pants suddenly got stronger.
Seeing this, Eldest Brother behind him sighed, “Brother, asking you to help us rob was too tough on you...”
Perhaps provoked by Eldest Brother’s words, or because he was freed from constraints when his pants tore completely, Sixth Brother became extremely agile. He easily slipped through the window.
Thud!
Sixth Brother landed inside the room and turned on his flashlight to stealthily survey the unfamiliar room.
It was quite large—a conference room, with a long table and two rows of chairs along the sides.
All the tabletops, chairs, and floor were covered in a layer of dust from not being used for a long time.
Sixth Brother slowly walked deeper into the room. He had only taken a few steps when his whole body suddenly shuddered.
Under the beam of Sixth Brother's flashlight, he could clearly see in the dust-covered floor a trail of tiny footprints.
There wasn't a speck of dust on the prints, clearly freshly made.
Sixth Brother was easily frightened by nature. His first instinct was to wait for his partners to join him. But imagining the contempt in Eldest Brother's eyes, Sixth Brother decided to stay silent first.
He slowly followed the small footprints, when suddenly—thump!
A muffled sound came from behind Sixth Brother. He spun around but couldn't see anything in the darkness.
Even shining his flashlight revealed nothing but pitch blackness.
Feeling something was off, Sixth Brother softly called out, “Boss, you there?”
No one responded in the silent room. Goosebumps rose all over Sixth Brother’s body.
He decided to forget the prints for now and head back towards the window first.
Moments later, Sixth Brother felt chilled from the inside out.
The window he had come through and the table and chairs he had seen were gone!
The only thing still there was the distinct trail of small footprints on the floor!
Just as Sixth Brother was at a loss about what to do, a gloomy, soft voice slowly sounded behind him:
“What a special toy you are~”
"Torn pants, blushing face~ Teehee~"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
