Chapter 3
In moments, Qin Yun had grabbed the cat girl who had her monster power sealed and arrived before a rich merchant’s manor . He hid in a shadow outside of the manor walls .
“It’s here . My leader is living here,” the cat girl said with a hushed voice .
Qin Yun opened his spell eye and looked beyond the walls, into the manor inside .
“No monsters?” Qin Yun was confused . From his gaze, as far as he could see, this seemed like a normal rich merchant manor and he didn’t even find any monster aura within .
“Are you sure that your leader is living here?” Qin Yun used the sealing spell and the sealing light barrier covered himself and the cat girl, blocking off all sound from being transmitted .
The cat girl nodded with conviction, “Definitely! This manor might seem normal and there even is a rich merchant living inside . But, this manor is split into two portions, the outside region and inside region . My leader and others all live in the inner region and there’s even an underground palace under the inner region of the manor which is where my leader lives for most of the time . “
“Underground palace?” Qin Yun was quite surprised, “To be able to create a large palace without disturbing the authorities, it definitely wasn’t something done in three to five years . Looks like your leader has been in Guangling city for quite a while .
“Dozens of years,” the cat girl said obediently .
… . .
Under the manor, inside the secret palace .
A yellow robed fat man was smiling as he sat on an extravagant chair . An pink dressed woman that showed a little too much skin was laying on the yellow robed fat man and feeding him deserts .
Below the yellow robed man were seven experts seated to the left and right of the man . There were men, woman, young and old all enjoying the nice wine and food while watching the dance before them .
To the side of the hall were musicians playing their piece .
The piano and flute played together, making the piece sometimes very broad and open while at other times very quick and happy…
The dancers also followed the piece as they danced . They would be extremely solemn, very quick and light or very alluring… .
“Good!” The yellow robed man and his seven underlings enjoyed this dance .
“Master, try this . I made it myself . ” The pink dress woman took out a bit of desert from one of the plates and moved her hand towards the yellow robed man’s mouth . However, the focus of the yellow robed man was on a black robed elder that appeared within the hall .
“Do you not like what I made?” The pink dress lady flirted .
“It tastes great . Beauty, everything you makes tastes good but your mouth is sweeter and tastes better . ” The yellow robed man turned around and kissed the pink dress lady .

The pink dress lady laughed at this .
“All of you may leave,” the yellow robed man ordered .
“Yes, master . “
The musicians and dancers all stopped and gave their respects before leaving . They had all lost hope of leaving . Ever since they entered this underground palace, they had never left and could only live this hopeless life . They didn’t even dare to complain because this monster was too scary!”
At this time, the black robed elder walked up with a wooden box in one of his arms . The elder bowed as he said, “Leader Chu, the Star Pattern Iron that you needed . It took eight years to get this batch, there’s 83 pounds . “
“Star Pattern Iron?” The fat yellow robed man that was originally sitting down suddenly turned blurry as he left dozens of after images crossing the distance of just over ten meters .
Shua!
He appeared before the black robed elder .
The black robed elder’s heart gave a trembled . Too quick . He can probably kill me with one strike . However, not only him, the other seven monsters can also probably easily kill me .
The yellow robed man took the wooden box with a stretch of his hand . Opening up, he found that there were neatly placed silver white metals that had special patters on them . His eyes like up and he gave a strange laugh, “This Star Pattern Iron is banned by the government . No civilian is allowed to store these . Once found, it’s an offense of death to the entire family . “
“It really wasn’t easy . It took eight years and countless tries with a lot of brothers dying before we could get our hands on these . Once I got it, I immediately came to send it to Leader Chu,” the black robed man quickly said .
“Relax, with how loyal you have been to me, I will not let you down . Your place as the head of the clan will be stable as long as I’m here! In the next ten years, your clan does not have to pay tribute,” the yellow robed man said with generosity .
With the support of the monster leader, his place as the clan head was definitely stable? Not needing to pay tribute for ten years? That tribute was naturally going to him, the clan head .
“Thank you, Leader Chu,” the black robed elder quickly praised .
“Star Pattern Iron,” the yellow robed man was already staring at the treasure within the wooden box . He picked up one piece and threw it in his mouth . The teeth in his mouth were originally quite ordinary but they suddenly turned sharp like saws and with kacha, kacha sounds, he broke this Star Pattern Iron into smaller pieces and swallowed it . Afterwards, his teeth returned to normal .
“Based on my strength, I’m about third in the clan . However, even an axe blow of mine can only leave a light mark on this Star Pattern Iron and the light mark would heal itself quickly . But he actually just bit through it?” The black robed elder was silently shocked .

After the yellow robed elder ate this Star Pattern Iron, he walked back to his seat and sat down . However, on his skin were faint silver lines that moved around .
“Congratulations leader!”
“With this Star Pattern Iron, leader’s strength can definitely rise!”
The seven underlings all stood up to give their congratulations .
Some precious materials could only be used by Immortal, Buddha, God or Monster . For the Star Patter Iron, this monster leader could directly eat it to increase his cultivation .
“Hahaha… . . ” The yellow robed man laughed and the sound of his laughter made the whole hall tremble .
Suddenly, a black robed young man grabbing a weak girl walked in as if this was his back garden . He entered through a side door of the hall very nonchalantly .
The person who came was Qin Yun who had captured the cat girl .
“Huh?” The entire hall became quiet and looked at this uninvited guest .
The yellow robed man’s face turned but he stayed calm a moment later . He hugged the pink dress lady as he smiled without meaning, “My palace has seven level of guards and many hidden traps . However, for friend to grab one of my underlings and arrive here without any warning, I, Chu Yong, respect you . So, friend, where are you from? Why are you here?”
Qin Yun looked at the yellow robed man and under his spell eye, he saw clearly that the yellow robed man was a wild boar monster . His aura was extremely domineering and broad . The seven that were sitting were all monsters too .
“So he is your leader?” Qin Yun ignored the monster leader and instead looked at the cat girl, “Did he ask for you to attack Qin An?”
“Yes . ” The cat girl lowered her head in shame .
“Friend is here for Qin An?” The yellow robed man stayed sitting and his voice transmitted with strength .
“Yes, Qin An . “
Qin An turned towards the yellow robed man, “Why did you order your underling to go after Qin An and try to control him?”
“Haha, Qin An’s father is Qin Liehu . He’s one of the three silver badge constables within Guangling City . You know, a single silver badge constable is nothing to me . However, the government has a lot of men with a lot of weapons . He leading a lot of constables has been a headache to me . Thus, I decided to borrow his son’s life in order to talk to him . Thus, I choose such a bad strategy . ” The yellow robed man laughed, “However, since friend wants to interfere, I will give friend face and let go of this matter . However where did friend come from? There is no expert like friend in my Guangling city . “
“Oh, you recognize that I’m not from the Guangling city?” Qin Yun asked .
“Haha, I’ve been at Guangling city for 68 years now,” the yellow robed man said confidently . “Whether it’s a human or a monster, I know all those with strength . “
“All of them?” Qin Yun nodded .
Hu .
Qin Yun then threw the cat girl that he was holding to the ground . The cat girl quickly got up as she pleaded, “Sir, I have brought you here . I hope that sir can honor our agreement and let me live . “
Since I brought this cultivator here, leader definitely will not spare me . I need to escape while this cultivator fights with leader . The cat girl thought like this .
“Pu!” The cat girl suddenly trembled . The Zhenyuan sealing her monster strength instantly minced her heard .
“You, you didn’t follow…” the cat girl’s eyes were full of regret and anger as she collapsed to the ground . Her body twisted to show her original form of a large black cat .
Qin Yun looked at her, “Towards some people, promises must be met, even if it means death . However, to others, following promises is stupid, is pedantic! It’s the same for monsters! If I was that stupid, I would have died to the hands of monsters many times . “
When his voice fell, the hall full of monsters’ faces changed .
“Would have died to the hands of monsters many times?” The yellow robed man muttered to himself as his eyes suddenly narrowed, “Monsters are quite rare, but he seems to have faced many monsters already . ”
“Friend, the matter of me going after Qin An, since you have also killed one of my underlings, is this the end?” The yellow robed man stood up and stared at Qin An . The pink dress lady at his side became slightly agitated and the seven other monsters that were originally seated also stood up and stared at Qin An . As for the black robed old man, he was so nervous that he was shaking . Although he controlled a whole clan that had thousands of member, at this moment, all his heart had was fear .
“No . ” Qin Yun shook his head .
A fierce glint appeared in the yellow robed man’s eyes . He gave a cry, “Kill!”
His voice was so loud that it felt like a lightning bolt in the hall . Even the top of the hall shook as many of the dinnerware on the tables shatter .
“Shou shou shou…”
Male, female, young and old, the seven expert monsters all started moving . Five leaped towards Qin An while one of them turned into a ball of fog and another disappeared .
“It can turn invisible?” Qin An was slightly shocked at heart .

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.

War, Honor and Vengeance
In a world where there is no right or wrong, justice and injustice, good or evil, it is the world where only the strong persists while the weak slaves. A world filled with lies, treachery and betrayal. There is no two way. Only one way. One way to either Hell or Heavens. Some call it Destiny, some call it Providence, others call it The God’s Will. But I call it Fate. My arch-nemesis. Something so invisible, out-of-reach and strong, that no matter how much you fight, there seems no end. But tell me, will you succumb to your fate, as others rise on it. Tell me, will you let your family, your children, your wives be slaughtered and slaved on this so-called Fate. No. War.

Will you stay mum and accept this so-called Fate and be slaughtered by your enemies, or will you rise up. Wealth, fame, fortune, desires are not ever-lasting. Only War is eternal. Vengeance. In a world where with no rights and wrong, the weak would be preyed upon while the strong will wreak havoc. But, will you accept your fate of being weak…. No. You rise up and exact revenge for all the wrongs done to you. You rise for Vengeance. Honor. Honor… something which runs deep within our blood, but yet forgotten in dust. Something, so intangible, so frail, yet so over-powering. Villains justify it as useless, Lords deem it as unnecessary and Kings mock it as worthless, but yet, it flows ever so deeply within. Deeply… like our thirst of wealth and power. Without this so-called useless, worthless and unnecessary piece of intangible force, we, as Knights are nothing but mere foot soldiers. So, rise up! Rise Up! RISE UP, my Knights. For War! For Vengeance! For Honor!!!! ………………………………………………………… The release rates are going to be a bit sloppy with my college entrance exams upcoming, so please don’t be angry, my avid readers.
