'Domino ?'

'Yes, the power behind her punches works just like a domino.'

Long Tingfeng was curious about his disciple's interpretation.

'Yesterday, I saw my sister Bao playing with dominoes by arranging them from the smallest to the biggest, then knocks all of them by knocking first in the row with a simple poke. Starting from the small one,the energy began to accumulateeach time a domino is knocked of by the precedent. Eventually, it became strong enough to knock the biggest one.'

'So, how does that domino rule apply on HM ?'

Despite asking it with a doubtful expression, Long Tingfeng was delighted to learn his disciple's understanding of HM's technique.

'In place of the dominos, she used her whole body to transfer and add the energy starting from her feet, knee, hip, spine, shoulder, elbow, wrist, then finally fist.The power gets stronger by successfully passing each of those places until it is finally unleashed at the end of her fist.'

'

While talking about the technique, Chen couldn't believe such a thing possible. To accomplish this action, one needs to have complete control over its every limb, muscle, and bone in unison. Even slight errors will lead to the generated energy completely fizzling out, making one start from all over again.

He could only describe HM's ability as monstrous. But at the same time, Chen wanted to try this technique as well.

'Master, this is incredible, and HM is able to accomplish this only using ordinary mouvements without a drop of qi or mana!''

Seeing the flame ignited in Chen's eyes, Long Tingfeng understood that his disciple, was ready to learn his core technique.

'Yes, now let me teach you about the basics of my Five Elemental Body.'

....

"Ah, he went back to his cultivation."

I said while observing Chen going back to his room. As someone who read many novels, I can somewhat guess.

Chen is going back to his room to learn some kind of unique technique from his invisible teacher.

Usually, from novels, I reckon he would at least stay in there for a month.

Is this what they call closed-door cultivation, right?

"This is gonna be boring for the time being."

Thanks to the previous stunts pulled by my droids and Andrews, destroying and absorbing the small gangs and keeping security in the streets made the Jackal territory peaceful for the time being.

But that doesn't mean Andrew and his team work was done.Now, they started to work on stabilizing territory, using jades and precious stones transferred via hidden paths.

Andrews began to circulate my money a little by little using various routes. From onlookers, it looks like he trying to use whereaver he left to make more more money.

Said like this it look cool, but in reality Andrew was stuck in his office all days long, fighting against humanity worst enemy, paperwork...

Andrews stuck in his workroom while also Chen stuck in his room by cultivating some techniques.

At least thanks to my androids helpers and the implants I gifted him, Andrew no longer looked like a crippled alcoholic, about drop dead at any moment.

After one month of hard work, Andrew and his group were able to take control of all the establishments of their territory, and make them profitable.

One can only get so much with a protective tax, so they focused on more bigger fish's, reducing the tax, and improving the general quality of life around the stores.

Their target is the nobles, debauchee children of sects, and noble families who visit District 0 for fun.

I helped them by providing the necessary technology and resources. But that is nothing more than just a push, nothing more.

They did everything on their own.

At least for now, things finally get stabilized, and the territory became peaceful.

Unlike last time, I got things to do as Andrews asked me to watch over the territory during the night, since he couldn't trust his underlings enought to do it without abusing his name behind his back.

I agreed immediately since I controlled my base using only my sub-brain, and I was left with too much free time except some training to adapt to my new body.

In every night, I would send squadrons of surveillance drones escorted by S-96 Bumble Bee watching over the territory from the sky. On the ground, many teams made of 3 combat droids were stationed to respond to any threat detected by the eyes on the sky.

Of course, seeing an almost two meters tall man coved in full plates passing in front of your home every night would be not a good feeling.

But since one of my aims was to make the peoples used to their appearance for the day I finnaly appeared on the surface with my main body.

I am now observing Halbert Paul in Desir's household. Hearing how the sewer water flood into his room, destroying almost whole years of work, make me think that my bomb dealt more damage than I thought.

Even now, Paul is still trying to recover and those documents and data, but...

"FUUCK! YOU IMBECILES!!"

"Do you call this a calculation!"

"But, sir. How can we calculate using information that is so vague."

"I PAID YOU TO DO! NOT TO TALK BACK!"

"THERE IS NO WAY I MAKE SUCH A CONTRACT!

He threw a stack of documents to the face of the young accountant.

And my prank basically disrupted all his organisation that took years to build.

Still not having any backup when operating this large mine. And this much-centralized system.

I can get he doesn't trust his subordinates to be honest, but centralizing everything is...

This Halbert Paul is not that bright person, is he?

But that is his problem, not mine~~

Also, it is fun to watch a power-hungry idiot get his own work backfires in front of his face.

Maybe, I can sneak in and cut off the mine's share under me. But not right now.

'Oh, wait!'

Using the drone's eyes, I detected five suspicious individuals trying to sell something at the entrance of the Black Cat establishment.

"Hey, you want to feel.."

"Feel what ?"

"Feel like you....!"

Hi! Hey, what are you trying to sell?

"SHIT! One of Jackal's enforcers!"

"RUN!"

No, you don't.

"UGH!"

"AAARGH!"

I immediately knocked them unconscious using a stun baton. As expected of my improved baton, it knocked them out instantly.

Now let's see what are they have under that coat.

What is this?

Under their coats, I found a small bottle full of unknown liquid and tablets tightly wrapped in high-quality paper.

Is this what I think it is?

Also why is that tablet look identical to Paul’s sleep medication ?
