Chapter 356: The Ultimate Skill of the Water Element User
Xiao Yun asked in astonishment, "Old Kong, are you also a member of the Dragon Team?"
"Yes, but unfortunately..." Old Kong's expression suddenly darkened.
Old Kong told Xiao Yun that his name was Kong Dashan and he was a member of the first generation of the Hua Xia Dragon Sister. During the ten years of turmoil, the Dragon Team was disbanded, and many members were arrested under accusations of being foreign agents or assassins. Some were suppressed, while others were executed...
At that time, Old Kong was also captured. Later, on the way to be tried in another location, he broke free from his handcuffs and escaped, hiding in a small village in the galaxy, where he became a true farmer.
For all these years, Old Kong had never interacted with the outside world and had never revealed his past identity to anyone. He was unaware of when the Dragon Team reappeared in Hua Xia.
At this point, Old Kong trembled as he took out a yellowed Dragon Team member identification card from his personal belongings and presented it to Xiao Yun, tears streaming down his face as he said, "Chief, I have kept this card with me all these years; it has never left my side!"
Although Xiao Yun had never seen an identification card from the first generation of the Dragon Team, he could tell from its craftsmanship that Old Kong was indeed a member.
"Old Kong, I will definitely report your situation to higher-ups and restore your identity," Xiao Yun said as he held Old Kong's hand. "Also, just call me Xiao Yun from now on; you can call me Old Kong!"
"Alright, thank you Mr. Xiao, oh, Xiao Yun!" Old Kong replied with a smile.
Hong Wen did not know what the Dragon Team was but could guess that it was a mysterious organization in Hua Xia responsible for handling matters related to national security.
"Hong Wen, you are a good kid," Old Kong said to Hong Wen. "You must not leak our identities to anyone today, understand?"
Hong Wen vowed earnestly, "Don't worry; I won't say a word even if it kills me. I won't even mention it to Ling Zhu!"
Ling Zhu was Old Kong's granddaughter, and Hong Wen had been secretly in love with her.
Old Kong looked at Hong Wen with satisfaction and nodded. Then he smiled at Xiao Yun and said, "Xiao Yun, do we have any alcohol left? Haha! Actually, I can drink quite well. I'm so happy today; let's have a couple of drinks!"
"Alright," Xiao Yun said, "let's have a few drinks."
After downing two cups of wine, Xiao Yun smiled and asked, "Old Kong, I heard that Water Element Users can kill with air. Is that true?"
"Haha..." Old Kong laughed and replied, "That's right. You should know that air always contains moisture in any situation. Water Element Users simply extract water from the air!"
Extracting water from the air was something Xiao Yun had never heard of before.
Xiao Yun, very curious, said, "Old Kong, could you demonstrate it for me?"
Old Kong chuckled and said, "It's just a small trick; I'm really embarrassed to show it!"
Despite saying that, Old Kong began to demonstrate. He waved his hand in the air and then gently pushed forward. With a whoosh, a water arrow shot out from his palm and struck a cup in front of him, shattering it into pieces.
This was merely a small display of what a Water Element User could do.
"That's amazing!" Hong Wen exclaimed, wide-eyed and applauding.
Xiao Yun praised, "Great! I heard that Water Element Users can unlock the potential of Fire Attribute Users. I have a friend named Niu Tian; I need to ask you to help unlock his potential someday!"
"What? That Niu Tian who works at the Royal Luxury Entertainment Club is your friend?" Old Kong asked in surprise.
Xiao Yun nodded with a smile and said, "Yes. What about it, Old Kong? Do you know Niu Tian as well?"
Old Kong replied, "Hehe, on the opening day of Yu Yi Entertainment Club, when I followed Hong Qichang to the banquet and saw Niu Tian maintaining order, I immediately recognized him as a Fire Attribute User!"
Upon hearing Old Kong's words, Xiao Yun was taken aback and asked, "Hong Qichang attended the opening ceremony of the Royal Luxury Entertainment Club?"
Old Kong nodded and said, "Yes. It's quite strange; when Hong Qichang heard he was invited to the opening ceremony, he was very unhappy. But when he saw the peculiar patterns on the invitation card, he became extremely cautious and not only attended the banquet but also prepared an extravagant gift!"
Xiao Yun nodded and said, "I know that Hong Qichang has a significant connection with Blood Curse. I even suspect that the Royal Luxury Entertainment Club has intricate ties with Blood Curse Gate."
Old Kong said with a serious expression, "Xiao Yun, from what you’ve said, this Royal Luxury Entertainment Club might be a branch that has relocated from somewhere else. Otherwise, Hong Qichang wouldn’t have become so frightened upon seeing the invitation!"
Indeed, experience speaks volumes; Old Kong quickly identified the key issue.
From the so-called gifts in Flower Shao's suitcase, it seems that the Flower Family in Beijing is actually the main backer of the Blood Curse Gate. Those who sent the "gifts" are evidently connected to the Blood Curse Gate in some way.
The question is, what purpose does the Flower Family have in relocating the Blood Curse Gate branch to the Galactic District?
Moreover, could An Yiran's aunt, An Si Niang, also be a member of the Flower Family?
Because it involved the family of a woman close to him, Xiao Yun's mood suddenly turned serious.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yun said, "Old Kong, the reason I want you to stay close to Hong Qichang is to uncover what kind of relationship he has with the Blood Curse Gate. Hong Qichang's sudden rise in the Galactic District must be closely tied to the Blood Curse. I want to know what their purpose is in supporting such a shady character."
Upon hearing Xiao Yun's words, Old Kong stood up abruptly and declared, "Report to the Chief, Old Kong will not let you down!"
Xiao Yun smiled and pulled Old Kong back down. "From now on, don’t be so formal around me. I dislike being constrained by rules!"
"Okay, okay, I understand!"
Old Kong chuckled and said, "It's quite interesting. Xiao Yun, after your commotion at the Hong Family, Hong Qichang must hate you to the bone. He even instructed whether it was possible to form an elemental alliance to gather all five elements against you. Little did he know that just a short time later, we would unite instead."
Hearing this made Xiao Yun shiver; if Old Kong really organized an elemental alliance, given his current abilities, it would be tantamount to courting death.
"Old Kong, can an elemental alliance really be formed?" asked Xiao Yun.
If there truly was an elemental alliance by his side, it would be an impressive force.
However, Old Kong, understanding what Xiao Yun meant, shook his head and sighed. "It's tough; elemental users are too rare these days. Forming an elemental alliance is easier said than done!"
Xiao Yun knew that what Old Kong said was indeed true. Nowadays, people are becoming increasingly dull-witted while latent abilities are disappearing in large numbers. Just like the moon's phases—there's always gain and loss; it's only natural.
Sitting aside, Hong Wen became a bit anxious and said, "What you are saying, I don't understand at all. Why don't I just join your alliance from now on?"
Xiao Yun smiled and replied, "Brother Hong, what do you mean by that?"
Hong Wen said, "Brother Xiao, I heard that the Drunken Beauty Company was founded by you. Let me work at your company!"
Xiao Yun knew that Hong Wen had graduated from a finance university and was indeed a rare talent for the Drunken Beauty Company. However, he couldn't use him just yet.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yun said, "Brother Hong, you should know that Hong Qichang currently hates me to the bone. You can't get too close to me just yet. Also, regarding your background, you must not expose it. Otherwise, with Hong Qichang's cruel nature, he will definitely not let you go. Wait until the Hong family falls before you come over!"
"Well..."
Hong Wen wanted to say something more, but at that moment, Old Kong interjected, "Hong Wen, Xiao Yun is right. You should continue working at your current company and avoid raising any suspicion from Hong Qichang!"
Upon hearing Old Kong's words, Hong Wen could only nod and say, "Alright, I'll listen to you!"
