Chapter 1479: Launching the Strike

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
It took Zhang Tie’s parents 1 hour from Golden Light City to Jinwu City. When they arrived at home, Zhang Tie had not arrived at Wild Lake Building yet.
Due to the old man’s funeral ceremony these days, Zhang Tie’s parents both felt a bit tired. Therefore, after returning to home and finishing supper, they had gone to bed.
However, only after 2 hours’ sleep, Zhang Tie’s mom had woken up without any certain reason.
“Ah, what’s wrong…” Zhang Tie’s dad also woke up after turning over as he turned on the light at the head of the bed. Under the lamplight, Zhang Tie’s mom looked a bit pale with fine sweat drops over her forehead.
“Are you alright?” Zhang Ping asked.
“I just feel a bit flurried and sleepless!” Zhang Tie’s mom said as she shook her head.
“Is it because you didn’t rest well these days and met too many people in Golden Light City?”
These days, like Zhang Tie, his parents almost had a short chat with every female guest as old as them before they left. Therefore, Zhang Tie’s mom didn’t feel relaxed either.
“Is Guoguo safe?” Zhang Tie’s mom suddenly asked Zhang Ping as she revealed a faint, gloomy look through her eye corners, saying, “As soon as I had fallen asleep, I recalled Guoguo. It felt like as same as that when Zhang Tie’s eldest brother died in Blackhot City as a soldier…”
Zhang Tie had the eldest brother who sacrificed in Blackhot City very long ago. The family didn’t feel like mentioning about it any longer.
“Cut it out, Guoguo is safe!” Zhang Tie’s dad sat up at once. Although he comforted Zhang Tie’s mom, he also suddenly became worried about Zhang Tie’s safety as he suggested, “How about having Zhang Yang to contact him? They have remote-sensing finger rings…”
“Hmm…”
“I will have someone fetch Zhang Yang here…” Zhang Tie’s dad then put on his clothes and prepared to exit the bedroom. Right then, the skyline in the distance suddenly became fiery. They knew somewhere in the downtown had caught a big fire without opening the curtain. Jinwu City was not large; therefore, half of the city was shocked by such a big fire.
Zhang Tie’s dad went over to the window. After opening the curtain, he saw the glow that shone in the sky.
“Ah, what’s happening?” Zhang Tie’s mom also went over there in pajamas. At the sight of the heavy fire through the window, Zhang Tie’s mom had been stunned as she stammered, “Is…is that…the valley where we produce all-purpose medicament…”
Previously, Zhang Tie’s dad was the mayor of Jinwu City. Therefore, he almost immediately realized what was happening at the sight of the heavy fire as his heart raced.
Many guards and servants of Zhang mansion had been shocked by the big fire and gotten up. Many bedrooms became bright again.
In the place where servants lived in the Zhang mansion, Zhang Gui was standing in a tree shade and watching the big fire in the distance with a flash of shrewd light in eyes.
As a person who always took actions in dark, Zhang Gui’s hands had touched too much blood while his heart was full of darkness. However, that dark heart also granted him an extremely sensitive feeling about dark.
Watching the big fire shooting into the sky from the valley——the all-purpose medicament base, Zhang Gui appeared sniffing something darker.
In only 2 minutes, the fire had grown increasingly bigger while the sky was growing redder. As a result, the dark red reflected from the skyline gradually lit up the tree shade where Zhang Gui was in. As the flame grew brighter, Zhang Gui slowly moved backward with the tree shade. Finally, he disappeared in the dark of the garden.
…
A few minutes later, Zhang Tie’s parents had already put on their clothes as they saw Zhang Yang in the lobby who looked solemn.
“Did the all-purpose medicament base in the valley catch fire?” Zhang Tie’s mom asked in a bit intense way.
“Yes!” Zhang Yang nodded. Closely after that, he revealed a smile as he comforted his parents, “Dad and mom, don’t worry. Even if the entire valley was burned up, it would just be a bit loss of money. Nothing serious!”
“Has anyone got hurt?”
“I’ve already told the Jinwu Guards to put out the fire. We don’t know about the loss yet. I’m going there with Mr. Zhu. We will deal with it timely if there is any. Dad and mom, just stay at home. I have Mr. Liu protect you at home. Don’t worry! You should take a rest. I will be back soon after I deal with it!” Zhang Tie’s elder brother tried his best to make his parents reassured like Zhang Tie no matter how serious the event was.
Jinwu Business Group employed a black iron knight surnamed Liu previously. In late years, as the scale of Jinwu Business Group gradually expanded, Zhang Tie’s elder brother became more and more wealthy and powerful; therefore, he employed another knight surnamed Zhu. That was to say, Zhang family had two employed knights now. Zhang Yang held that his family could be safe unless demon attacked or someone dared be hostile against Zhang family in the public.
“Watch out!” Zhang Tie’s dad reminded Zhang Yang.
“I see, don’t worry, dad!”
“Oh, send a message to Zhang Tie. Your mom misses him again!” Zhang Tie’s dad told Zhang Yang after being hesitant for a second.
“Hmm!”
After having a short chat with his parents, Zhang Yang had strode away from the Zhang mansion with Mr. Zhu, followed by a team of guards.
“All the guards at home be alert especially tonight! 2 people in each post!”
“Close the city gates! Nobody is allowed to leave the city without my written decree!”
“Curfew execution in the streets near the fire. Anyone who dares rob in chaos shall be killed!”
Zhang Yang sensed something special tonight too. However, the moment he left the gate of Zhang mansion, he had issued some orders decisively, causing the entire Jinwu City noisy.
After that, Zhang Yang got on his car as he contacted Zhang Tie by remote-sensing finger ring…
After sending the signal, he received no reply.
