Zhao Nan watched Ace and the Bark Five Brothers finish greeting each other, then said, "All right. Now that you've met, go get some rest. Tomorrow, I'll contact the Saber Organization and have them get in touch with Cesar so they can obtain the cultivation manuals for your five brothers!"
"Yes, Teacher!" 5
The Bark Five Brothers answered in unison.
After watching the Bark Five Brothers leave, Zhao Nan turned to see to Ace's arrangements.
While Zhao Nan was settling Ace in, the Bark Five Brothers had already returned to their rooms. But instead of going to their own rooms, all five gathered in Barker's.
"Big Brother, what do you think our teacher is really getting at?"
As soon as they entered the room, Hazer was the first to ask Barker.
The five brothers had gathered to discuss what Zhao Nan meant.
After all, a Saint-level powerhouse had suddenly sought out the five of them and taken them on as disciples.
If Zhao Nan had simply taken them on as disciples, they might have thought he saw potential in them. But he had also divided them into different ranks, and they couldn't make sense of it.
After hearing Hazer's question, Barker fell silent for a moment before saying quietly, "I think it probably has something to do with who we are."
As soon as Barker finished speaking, Hazer still looked confused and was about to ask something when Gates spoke up. "Big Brother's right. Just look at Linley and our fellow disciple Ace. One is a Dragonblood Warrior, and the other is a Violet Flame Warrior.
"What about us?
"All five of us are Undying Warriors!"
After Gates finished speaking, his three younger brothers all nodded to show they understood.
But then Barker spoke again. "I know Teacher took us in because we're Undying Warriors. What I don't understand is how he judged our potential."
After Barker said this, he noticed his four brothers looking at him as if he were an idiot. He realized they had misunderstood what he meant and quickly explained, "No, I mean, what level of potential does a personal disciple of Teacher's have?
"What heights can they reach?
"Although I haven't cultivated the battle-qi manual yet, I imagine we should at least be able to reach the ninth rank as warriors!
"Yet even then, we can only become Teacher's outer disciples or nominal disciples.
"So what level can Linley and Ace reach?"
After hearing Barker's question, his four brothers fell silent.
They, too, now wondered about the same thing.
At the moment, they could only imagine that Ace and Linley might reach the peak of the Saint realm.
It wasn't that they doubted Linley and Ace's potential. They simply couldn't imagine anyone becoming a god.
After all, in the entire Yulan Continent, not a single new god had appeared in the past five thousand years.
Time passed, but in the end, the five brothers came to no conclusions and went their separate ways.
The next day!
After Zhao Nan woke up, he first woke Ace, then took him out of the room. There, he saw the Bark Five Brothers waiting for him in the pavilion.
As soon as Zhao Nan came out, Barker hurriedly had someone bring breakfast.
After finishing breakfast, Zhao Nan said to the five brothers, "Go resign from your posts today. I'll find the Undying Secret Manual for you.
"Once the manual arrives, I'll take you to train. We won't be staying in the Eighteen Duchies of the Northern Territory for long."
The Bark Five Brothers nodded in response to Zhao Nan's instructions.
The five brothers then went to find their superiors and resign. After they left, Zhao Nan told Ace to stay at home while he went to the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.
This time, he found a newcomer at the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, not the person he had met last time.
Although the man didn't recognize Zhao Nan, he treated him with great respect after Zhao Nan introduced himself, and asked what had brought him there.
Zhao Nan didn't ask anyone at the Dawson Chamber of Commerce to find Cesar.
After all, Cesar was a Saint-level powerhouse, and the Dawson Chamber of Commerce had no one of that caliber.
So Zhao Nan simply asked where the Saber Organization's headquarters was.
As one of the most famous assassin organizations on the Yulan Continent, the Saber Organization had branches in practically every major city.
Naturally, it had a branch in the Eighteen Duchies of the Northern Territory as well.
After getting the location of the Saber Organization's branch from the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Nan went straight there.
The Saber Organization's branch wasn't hidden away somewhere. On the contrary, it was on a busy street, in a shop that sold bread.
Zhao Nan entered the shop and found that it wasn't the least bit gloomy. In fact, it was brightly lit. Without reliable information, he was sure no one would believe this was an assassin organization's branch.
"Good day, sir. What can I get for you?"
As soon as Zhao Nan walked in, a shop assistant came over to greet him.
"I'm here to see whoever's in charge," Zhao Nan said, tossing a golden leaf at the shop assistant.
Although Zhao Nan had only used this golden leaf once, he was sure the Saber Organization would recognize it.
After all, the most important thing to any major power was its intelligence network.
The Saber Organization had surely recorded Zhao Nan, a newly emerged Saint-level powerhouse.
Sure enough, the shop assistant recognized the golden leaf Zhao Nan tossed over at once.
"Lord Zhao Nan, hello.
"May I ask why you wish to see the person in charge?" the shop assistant asked.
Zhao Nan replied bluntly, "I said I wanted to see the person in charge, but what I really need is your senior instructor. Since you want to take this matter on yourself, go tell the person in charge to inform Cesar. Ask him if he still remembers Amanda."
The shop assistant paused after hearing Zhao Nan's words, then replied, "Please wait, sir. I'll inform the person in charge!"
With that, the shop assistant hurried into the back of the shop.
Zhao Nan watched him go, smiled faintly, and said nothing. He simply found a chair and sat down.
Not long after Zhao Nan sat down, a somewhat portly man came hurrying out.
"Lord Zhao Nan, hello. My name is Simon Yate!" Simon Yate hurriedly greeted him when he saw Zhao Nan.
Zhao Nan nodded casually and got straight to the point. "All right, I don't want to waste time talking with you. Go tell your senior instructor."
Simon Yate was taken aback by Zhao Nan's bluntness, then nodded in response.
Seeing that Simon had agreed, Zhao Nan nodded and walked straight out.
