187 Chapter 179 - What a Fancy Name You Have.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That boy awakened from the unconscious state, as he opened his eyes, he saw a mid-aged man that was also one of the mine slaves. The man told him that when he gets into the rampage and killed most of the armies that guarded the mine, all the mine slave took that as a chance for a revolution, all the men joined the boy in fighting off the armies and successfully make a way out for all the slaves in the mine, they are currently in a cave hidden in the jungle.

The boy was both surprised and confused, he asked them: "Why don't you guys kill me? I thought I'm supposed to be a monster."

The man shook his head, he only knows that the boy is the one that saved them from that living hell. Yes, there's no such thing as monster or demon in the world of poor people in hardship, you treat them well, you are good, you treat them awfully you are bad, that easy. Ironic, isn't it?

And so, with no doubt, that boy had become the leader of the rebellious slaves and formed an illegal gang that with the name of 'Black Lotus'. Hmm... That's a weird name, why Black Lotus? While it could be, Black Wind, Black Fire, and so on...

Anyway, time passes fast, two years had passed and the Black Lotus had grown into a strong rebellious vigilante organization. Within the two years, the organization had collected lots of information about that royal family and all of their hidden ugly secrets, one of it is about some weird rumors that have been spread through amongst the people in the Palace. The rumors said that, some of the other royal members were badly addicted to a kind of unknown drug that can greatly improve one's strength and ability with the consequences of losing sanity and risking themselves to the chance of turning into some cold-blooded monsters. They even said that, the late Duke Shao was killed because of that reason.

After some investigation, the Black Lotus's leader found some clues showing the death of the Duke was associated with the framed lady official who was excommunicated two years ago. He was concerned about this since the frame that caused the lady official to be excommunicated is the reason he gets demoted to a slave. And so, he decided to gets himself involved in this issue even if that means that he needs to collaborate with that mysteriously cute and evil tyranny King of the neighboring country that had grown at an amazing speed in a short time frame.

"So, what can you provide for me? For the collaboration." said the King, in a rather casual manner.

"I can give you all the information you need, with the influence of my vigilante gangs." said the Black Lotus's leader.

"Oh? Give me an example." said the King.

"How about some secret information about the royal family?" said the leader.

"Sure." said the King.

"Most of the royal members are currently using a drug that can increase a person's strength and ability." said the leader.

"And that drug is actually Kirin's blood, it has a side effect that will turn the person into a monster, am I right? Any other?" said the King, a bit teasing.

"Ah... And the emperor is secretly experimenting the drug on some servants and even his own mistress's princes and princess." said the leader, a bit surprised at the King's response.

"Mmm, and they thought Rei found out about that, so they framed her and excommunicated her." said the King, a bit losing his interests.

"Your Majesty, you sure know a lot, don't you? But do you know that the emperor used that drug to a whole troop of his elite army, along with the generals?" said the leader, still trying to convince the King.

"Oh, that's indeed a new piece of information, but it is expected." said the King, about to send him off.

Then, the leader noticed all the cookies and snack on the table, and how the King reacted when he had the snack. He thought for a while.

"Your Majesty, I'm good at cooking, especially at making desserts." said the leader.

"Eh? Really? How about trying to make me a milk pudding." said the King, for a second, the Black Lotus's leader thought he saw the King's eyes sparkling with light... Probably just his imagination...

Later, the Black Lotus's leader walks in with a really delicate and beautiful milk pudding on an ice crafted plate. The King took a silver spoon, scooped a small piece of the pudding, and eat it. The King silenced for a few seconds before digging another scoop of the pudding and eat it again, this time, sparkles can really be seen from his eyes. His servant who was standing next to him, was holding his laughter.

"What's your name?" the King asked, all of the sudden.

"Your Majesty, my name is Lee Jie Sheng. It means, an outstanding student." said the Black Lotus leader.

"Hah... What a fancy name. Fine. I'll call you Jason from now on." said the King.

"Eh? What?"
