Double Moon

He could only obey after much deliberation; he understood the person called QiQiang Shan. This person was a narcissist who viewed himself as the perfect image of a god—he would not allow anyone to taint him with either their presence or their speech. Moreover, he would do anything to remain beautiful, and he loves himself more than anyone. Not even his family could compare their love with the love he had for himself. At the very least, this youth understood all this, so the heartache was not too bitter.

However, this reason was enough!

This reason made it bearable.

In fact, what made it not to be ordinary was that QiQiang Shan was the ninth person on the list of the listed genius.

"You can continue now!" QiQiang Shan's voice rang out to the youth.

"Recently, a youth had challenged the listed geniuses and had succeeded in defeating the last three on the list. So you should be ready because the next set he would fight will be you." The youth finally finished his speech; he must have been rejoicing deep inside as he finished his mission. While he was talking, QiQiang Shan was busy staring at himself in a mirror as he was gauging every part of his body.

"What sort of ugly act is that? Fight with the listed geniuses? I am not interested in fighting. No. To be precise, fighting ugly and imperfect people; that person should go back to whichever hell hole that he came from." QiQiang Shan said with disinterest. As a result, the youth bitterly smiled as he knew it was mission impossible to convince a narcissist like him. Then, he thought of a plan.

"If you don't fight, you will lose." He emphasized with a severe tone.

"To hell with winning then." Only this statement made the youth drop his jaw in surprise. He knew the situation was turning hopeless.

At this point, he remembered the letter his leaders had sent to him. They told him he could use any threat as they would back him up. Obviously, they know the kind of hopeless person they are dealing with, so some certain amount of pressure is required to move him.

"If you don't fight. Then, forget about your home and allowance. And you will be demoted from the listed geniuses and be suspended from the academy." The youth added pressure with a severe face. This action resulted in QiQiang Shan shooting the young man with an angry stare.

"You….!" He shouted as he couldn't hold his anger anymore. Deep inside, the youth was shaking. 'Did I go too far with the jokes? Well, I was permitted to act with all authority.' The youngster comforted himself.

"Fine! Whatever, you can get lost, you scheming bastard. I don't want to see you again." QiQiang Shan dismissively spoke as he shooed the youth away with a wave while staring at the mirror, admiring his beauty.

The same day, Chi An walked to a big tree with scattered branches—the broad leaves functioning as a shade. Under it, Mingli Fan relaxed his back on the tree with a casual and uncaring appearance. His walking staff was beside him. Well, it was not as if the stick functioned for that purpose. To any observing person, that man, Mingli Fan, could pretty much walk on his own without the support of that thing.

"You came, little An." As Chi An got close to him, he said flippantly with his eyes still closed.

"Old Man, I will like you to set up the meeting with the second set of listed geniuses since I have defeated the first set." Chi An was informal in his speech. It was as though he was talking to a colleague or perhaps a junior.

"Now, you are recognizing my usefulness. You have to get me more rare wine and appreciate me more by kneeling and crying as you worship me." Mingli Fan spoke with pride as he opened his eyes like some hero.

At this time, Chi An couldn't help himself fume with anger as he had dark shades on his face. However, it was on the inside. 'Old fart, what are you proud of—you sleep here all day doing nothing. Still, you want me to be buying you rare wine? Did you give me any money?'

"That is right. We need more of you because you make a country brighter." Chi An forced a smile. 'Like hell would we need another one of you. Only one of you is already setting the country on fire. Then, two of you—Well, let us forget it.' This reflection was the true heart of Chi An.

"Forget it. It is good you recognize your mistake and understand my value. I will set up a meeting with the leaders to bring their geniuses out for a test." Mingli Fan spoke with confidence. In fact, the only period when Mingli Fan was serious was when he took Chi An to visit Pengfei Yang, the leader of Chingqing. In addition, when he explained the case system of the god-wolf island and when he actually took him out to see it practically. Apart from those times, he was only eating and sleeping. No! To be precise, he was only frittering away his time, doing absolutely nothing crucial.

Next three days.

In a hall, twelve people gathered. They all had different prestige and triggers. Also, the environment was slightly tense since people of these calibers rarely gathered together. They were all kings in their domain, after all.

At this point, another person entered slowly and somewhat gracefully with his walking staff. He bent slightingly forward as he led himself without any worry. This person was Mingli Fan, and the severe expression he bore was more than the one he had when he took Chi An to meet Pengfei Yang for acceptance.

"So, why did you call us old man. We have even been waiting here for ages, and yet you walked in casually like we are supposed to open the red carpet for you and applaud you?" the spokesperson was Qingshan Yaozu, who loved to spend his time alone. To him, this meeting was delaying his peace of mind.. Yes, the people present in this meeting were the twelve leaders of each city in the god-wolf island.
