Chapter 78 Shadow Stage
“What is Shadow Stage?”
Xiao Shun felt somewhat interested.
He knew what Long San could do. Ordinary fighters would not be a problem for him. But now it seemed, except for the bruises, he had been hurt internally.
“Oh, Shadow Stage is an underground boxing club in the city. It was started by a rich man from Pinkshire. The prize money is good enough. It’s up to 100 million in cash, so a lot of people will sign up for that every year. But they have a ranking system, and I can only take those lowest tire fights. A thousand dollars a fight.”
Interesting. He did not expect someone like Long San to be at the lowest tier.
“Who do you think will win the highest prize?” Xiao Shun asked.
“It’s hard to say in the past, but this year, supposedly the Old School Society from Coradina will send their guys over, so maybe they will get the prize this year.” Long San replied.
“Old School Society? I’ve never heard of them.” Xiao Shun said to himself.
“The Old School Society has always been quite secretive, so most people have never heard of them, and it’s even less likely for you to meet anyone of them. Are you interested in the game, Mr. Xiao?”
Long San had seen what Xiao Shun could do. If he signed up for the game, he’d at least go to the highest tier and earn at least fifty grand for one round. He didn’t think Xiao Shun would be short of that kind of money, but it was always good if he could see what the games at the highest tier were like.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“Just show me around when you have time,” Xiao Shun said.
“Okay, no problem, anytime.”
“Let’s talk about our business then. Just go pack up and follow me to the factory this afternoon. As for your mother’s illness, don’t worry. I’ll take care of it.”
“Mr. Xiao, curing my mother’s illness will cost a lot of money …” Long San said with some hesitation.
Xiao Shun smiled lightly and patted his shoulder, “I told you, you are my friend, and I will cure your mother’s illness, and you don’t have to spend any money.”
Long San was still confused. But since Xiao Shun didn’t want to say more, he stopped asking questions. He nodded his head.
Xiao Shun gave him the address of Starline Bio, “You don’t need to bring anything, and I will take care of it. You can take a cab this afternoon and call me when you’re there.”
“Okay, thank you very much then.”
After he left, Xiao Shun fished out his cell phone and dialed Song Linger’s number.
“Master, what’s up?” Song Linger’s clear and crisp voice soon came out.
“I’ll take you to a place tomorrow if you have time.”
“What kind of place?”
“You need a place to put what you’ve learned into use.”
“Good.” Song Linger cheerfully agreed.
After that, Xiao Shun called Yao Cen and asked her to arrange a place for Long San in the factory. It was not difficult at all now that there were many unused empty rooms in the factory.
Then he went to Goodhealth to buy some more herbs and returned to Pearl International.
Long San’s mother’s illness was almost hopeless and he could not save her by acupuncture alone, not even with his Ghost Door Thirteen Needles.
He took out the ginseng Wang Ye gave him, took a few slices of it and packed them up with a few other herbs. With these herbs, she would be fine in the next few years, while they could find other ways to help her.
Meanwhile, Yao Cen was busy.
After she found a place for Long San, she sent someone to get all the things he would need ready.
She also knew Long San. Xiao Shun had already told her what had happened that night. If Long San had not told Xiao Shun in time, the consequence would be terrible.
In the afternoon, when Long San appeared in front of the factory with his mother on his back, Yao Cen was already there waiting for them.
“Miss Yao, you must be so busy. You don’t have to waste your time for me.” Long San was a little embarrassed.
“Don’t worry, you are one of us from now on.”
Yao Cen laughed. She immediately saw the little girl with a ponytail beside Long San. She was three or four years old and was looking at her timidly with her big clear eyes. Her flushed little face was like a ripe apple. It was lovely.
“Oh, this is my daughter, Hu,” Long San took the initiative to introduce her.
“Hu, this is Auntie Yao.”
The little girl flashed her big eyes and called out a little shyly, “Auntie Yao.”
“Hu must be very tired.” Yao Cen squatted down and gently pinched her little face and laughed.
“I’m not tired. I’m very good.” The little girl wiped her nose and took a step back.
“Miss Yao, it’s okay. The girl is used to it.” Long San said with a smile.
“Well then, let’s go, I’ve found a place for you.” Yao Cen stood up and said.
Yao Cen led them to a separate house in the factory. There was a date tree in the yard. It was the time of the year for dates, and the red dates were hanging all over the branches. When they walked in the doorway, the tree instantly attracted Hu’s attention.
Inside the yard were three houses, they had cleaned them up and everything Long San would need was all ready.
“We can’t find a better place in this factory, so please stay here for the moment. If you need anything, you can tell me, and I will ask my assistant to get them ready for you.” Yao Cen said.
“Miss Yao, that’s good enough, thanks.”
Long San carefully placed his mother on the big fluffy bed and said to Yao Cen with an embarrassed look on his face.
By this time Xiao Shun had also rushed over, he handed those herbs he had pack up to Long San and said, “One of these everyday, and a week later your mother will be better, and she will be fine in the next five years. We will find a better way before then.”
Long San took those herbs and already didn’t know what to say.
Although he was not sure if these herbs were really as miraculous as Xiao Shun said, at least he could feel that Xiao Shun was treating him with sincerity.
“Mr. Xiao, my life is all yours from now on.” He said with an excited expression.
Xiao Shun smiled lightly, “Just keep this place safe.”
Long San assured, “Mr. Xiao, don’t worry, leave it to me.”
“Okay, you must be tired, we will go back now, and you have a good rest.”
Xiao Shun said this and left the small yard together with Yao Cen.
“Tomorrow I have to get on a business trip with Long San. It may take two or three days, you should find someone to take care of them.”
On their way back to the office building Xiao Shun said.
“You? Business trip?” Yao Cen said with a sneer, “Just be honest. What have you been up to actually?”
“Just earn some money.” Xiao Shun replied mysteriously.
