Chapter 347: I Wonder If He Foresaw This Happening

Carrie looked down at the two “things” she was holding with a slightly perturbed expression. She was confused as to what was happening at the moment.

Had something happened here?

Narry had almost fainted over from watching Carrie clutch onto Xixi and Dog Feed as if they were her toys. These two had already proven to him how powerful they were on the battlefield, and if they were to go berserk right now, he could send his entire family against them and they’d still be on the losing end!

Cautiously, as if he was holding onto two ticking time bombs, Narry removed Xixi and Dog Feed from Carrie’s hands. He signaled using his gaze for the young girl to leave immediately. “What are you standing there for? Do you want to get eaten by Miss Gu’s pets? Although you’re my niece, I won’t be seeking revenge should one of them decide to have you as their lunch! In fact, I’d still admire the power these two pets possess!”

It was only after she had left that he presented them back to Gu Xiqiao. “Here you go, Miss Gu.”

What Gu Xiqiao and her Peacekeepers did today, made him so happy that he wouldn’t mind if these two swallowed the entire Supernatural World’s treasures, let alone those which were under his possession.

Who would ever know that on such a peaceful day, someone had risked her life to turn the tide of the battle, changing the course of American history? The regular civilians on the street would never know that someone had ventured into the jaws of death for their sake.

The more Narry thought about this, the deeper his respect was for Gu Xiqiao.

The men present in the hall all went silent upon seeing Narry’s reaction. In terms of power, Narry was only second to the president of the United States. In other words, his position was pretty high up. He had a nasty attitude and was usually an unlikeable person. He never really had any interests apart from collecting ancient weapons, treasures, and the likes.

If it was someone else who had messed with his treasures, then no doubt, it would’ve been impossible for that person to gain his forgiveness. That applied to even the well-known Cecily-Cecil duo.

No one predicted that he would react in such a way. They all looked at each other, confirming that there was something off about this atmosphere.

The same could be said for the men who had tagged along with their leader today; they all had their arms crossed as if they had found nothing strange about this interaction. Then, they started wondering just who this young lady was? What did she do to cause such a sudden change in attitude in Narry?

It was that moment that they discovered, it wasn’t just Narry who was acting oddly. They could sense the respect their leader and Cecily had in their gaze whenever they interacted with this Gu Xiqiao character.

The supernatural organizations of America were in for a great surprise.

“Young Master Jiang, please proceed with your announcement.” Seeing that Narry had settled the matter, the leader gestured for Jiang Shuxuan to continue speaking.

Jiang Shuxuan nodded. His icy-cool eyes scanned across the faces of the men sitting around the table. “We initially decided not to share this information with you people but now that America has been dragged into this, it might be better to just let the cat out of the bag.”

The leader was taken aback by such a statement. His eyes were glued onto Jiang Shuxuan, waiting for him to say the next sentence.

Jiang Shuxuan glanced at Xixi, who was brushed off from Gu Xiqiao’s shoulder but had stubbornly clung on. Raising his brow, he sent a white spark that shot forth from his fingertips towards Xixi, who fell onto the ground, frozen into a block of ice. Finally, the nuisance was taken care of.

He continued speaking, “Not far into the future, the entire world will face a great disaster.”

Dead silence ensued. It was a while before a few voices broke the silence.

“How is this possible?”

“You aren’t lying to us, are you Mister Jiang?”

“…”

The leader of the American supernatural world had a deep respect for Gu Xiqiao, which also meant that he did not doubt Jiang Shuxuan’s words. His trust towards them was solidified after what had happened that afternoon. How else could there suddenly be such a monster within America’s borders. With a somber expression, he peered in Jiang Shuxuan’s direction. “This I understand, but what should we do to prepare for this, Mister Jiang?”

“Get stronger,” replied Jiang Shuxuan. Those who doubted him were shocked beyond words. “All of you here are too weak.”

“Alright,” responded their leader with a frown.

“With all your might, get stronger. American lives are resting in your hands.”

Right after saying that, Jiang Shuxuan looked over at Gu Xiqiao. His announcement was over, so it was time to leave.

“Mister Narry, as compensation for your lost treasures,” said Gu Xiqiao while propping up Dog Feed. “The peacekeepers will be leaving tomorrow. Bring forth ten young people. They will return in a week’s time.”

Gu Xiqiao then left with Jiang Shuxuan.

Narry was still standing there, staring blankly into the air. “D-Did you hear what she said?”

“She said to bring forth ten of your strongest apprentices!” The leader yelled. He was of course envious of Narry. “So what if you lost a couple of treasures? Why on earth did she think that this was a good idea?!”

Recalling how brutally effective the Peacekeepers were, the leader felt his heart throb in pain.

Those who had the opportunity to watch the battle unfold in the afternoon had flocked around Narry. They glared at him with envious eyes. “How dare you use your treasures as bait to lure Miss Gu into your trap!” They too had treasures! If they had known that this would happen, they would’ve brought their treasures out to display! After all, wasn’t that the way to get accepted into the Peacekeepers?! Maybe if they had done that, they would’ve become part of the team by now.

“Heh heh heh, It’s time for me to head on home to pick the candidates.” Narry was over the moon. With a satisfied expression, he marched out of the hall. The rest of them, including their great leader, felt a sudden urge to wrap him up in a sack and give him a good beating.

“Leader, what did Young Master Jiang say?” There were quite a number of them who still struggled to grasp what was truly going on. “What’s happened to you? Are you gonna trust them just like that?”

It had only been a day since they last met and yet, so much about their leader has changed.

“Sir, we owe a great deal to the ancient martial arts world,” said Cecily as she stood up from her chair and made her way towards Narry. “You should bring these men to the zoo, by the way,” she whispered into their leader’s ear before leaving.

In reality, she too was shocked by what Jiang Shuxuan said just now. If even he said that this would be a great disaster, there was no saying how terrifying it would be to them.

She and Cecil were stunned when they initially heard his statement. The first thing that went through their mind was ‘Could America survive this disaster?’.

It was Gu Xiqiao’s statement that snapped them back into reality. Why did she say that? Was she looking to make up for the loss of elders? Probably not!

Judging by how powerful Gu Xiqiao actually was, Narry’s treasures were worth less than a grain of sand to her. And yet, she willingly accepted ten of his apprentices into her team for training. It probably was just another excuse for her to lend America a helping hand.

Realization finally set in. Even if Narry’s treasures had not been gobbled by those two clowns, Gu Xiqiao would still come up with an excuse for the Americans to send ten men over to train under her supervision.

In any case, she had now understood why there were so many from the ancient martial arts world that respected Gu Xiqiao and her Peacekeepers.

What they were doing today was creating a miracle using their own hands. Thinking about it riled up her emotions, which seemed impossible to bring under control!

She suddenly realized how much of a morale-booster these people were. With them around, it felt like they could overcome whatever danger the universe decides to throw at them.

Their leader snapped out of his mental haze upon being reminded by Cecily. He looked at the skeptical faces and without hesitation, he brought them all to the zoo where the battle had previously unfolded. “See this? This is what Miss Gu and her Peacekeepers are capable of producing! Do you know that it’s all thanks to her that you’re all still standing here, yapping away? The disaster that Mister Jiang spoke of is no foolery! This here marks the beginning of the great disaster!”

The men were all stupefied upon seeing the carnage below.

People from the Supernatural World could be seen below, removing the animal parts off the floor. Even after they had died, these men could still sense the terrifying amount of energy emitted by these chunks of flesh and bone. There was also the crack on the ground which stretched deeper into the earth’s core. The sight of that thing sent shivers down their spine. With that many carcasses strewn across the floor, it seemed almost impossible that Miss Gu and her men were responsible for this.

“What Cecily said was right. We do owe Miss Gu, and by extension, the Ancient Martial Arts World a great deal,” muttered their leader. His morale, which was at an all-time low, increased slightly upon knowing that Miss Gu was on their side.

He was relieved that he had listened to Cecily’s advice. Thank god he chose diplomacy over hostility when they first met Miss Gu!

“Sir.” One of the subordinates approached the leader with a phone in hand. It was a phone call from the general of the United States Armed Forces. A voice came through the earpiece as soon as he raised the phone up to his ear. “You are magical my friend. There really were disasters in the three spots across America, as you had informed us about! Although in the beginning, we faced quite a lot of resistance, and accusations that we were imposing a dictatorship, they’re now starting to respect our wisdom! Surprisingly but fortunately, we suffered no casualties this time!”

The general was ecstatic. He had been serving the people for so many years and this was the first time he had received praises from them. Although he too, was initially skeptical about the predictions, he was now grateful to have received word from them!

“Do not thank me, thank Miss Gu, for providing us with the predictions,” replied the leader of the supernatural world.

The general started breathing heavily. “And who might you be referring to?”

“The one you’re thinking about right now.” The leader then hung up the call with a smirk on his face.

“I heard from Mister Yi Tong that Miss Gu had sent her predictions to Japan as well?” The young man standing next to the leader nodded in response. “It’s a shame that they brushed it off as mere speculation,” he replied in a sympathetic tone.

“Fools!” yelled the leader angrily.

“Those who doubt Miss Gu’s words are fools! Those who attempt to bully her are looking for an early death!”

“Let’s sit back and watch. We should be receiving news from Japan in the evening. Nozawa should have the antiques with him already. Miss Gu is probably heading towards Japan at this moment, perhaps to see their leader in tears.”

Everything that Miss Gu did up until this point made it clear to the world at large–that it was a bad idea to mess with her.

This was the same in the Imperial Capity, the ancient martial arts world, and now, in Japan as well!

The leader smiled. He wondered if the Japanese foresaw the consequences of rejecting Miss Gu’s advice straight away.
