METAL CHILD BALLad
BLACK ROOT POISON TREAD

Edler Van Houten just nodded his head without looking again at the bodyguard who rushed away from before him. The man then grabbed a cigar which was immediately followed by a flame from a gas match proffered by Robert.

"There's just been an incident at night today" Robert said, shaking his head repeatedly and keeping a gas match in his pants pocket.

"It's a good thing that the problem is unsustainable" Edler Van Houten murmured as he took a breath. Both of them fell silent and dissolved in their minds.

"Now we still have to think of a way to get Young Master Alexi to help us cover up the prostitution problem here!" edler Van Houten exclaimed as he threw his ass over his swivel chair.

In another place. Jessey Liu, who just got a place to spend the night at the hotel, was apparently still busy taking care of eight of his wounded men. The young man's face looks still anxious about the condition of his students. They were all collected and laid in one room. This was done to facilitate surveillance. 

"Hows it? What do you feel now?" jessey Liu asked as she fumbled at his men's eyebrows.

"It hurts so much, Master!" groaned the child while holding back pain. "It's hot and it feels like it's being pricked by thousands of needles!"

"You hold it, I will contact Ye Kai to inquire about this type of poison. Oh yeah, have you taken the antidote pill yet?" asked Jesssey Liu in a soft voice. 

"Already, Master," replied the one being asked while grimacing in pain. 

"Goodoo. Hopefully there will be a change and a reduction in the torment of this poison." Jessey Liu closed the sleeves of his men. 

Jesssey Liu was astonished by this punch-like style that contained this poison. How could just a single punch of it poison someone? Do they wear something on their palms?

Without thinking anymore, the young man immediately took his cellphone to contact the friend who knew a little about the science of medicine. Jessey Liu called Ye Kai to ask about the injuries his men were suffering from.

Jessey Liu said, "Hello, Ye Kai!" 

"Hello, Jesssey." Ye Kai's voice was heard from the speaker phone belonging to Jesssey Liu.

Jessey Liu himself immediately stepped aside to a place some distance away from his men. "It's good that you haven't slept yet, Ye Kai."

"I just happened to be finished. Oh yeah, Jesssey ... What are you doing all these nights calling me?" ask Ye Kai from across the phone. "Have you reached the sect? This fast?" 

"Not yet, Ye Kai. I'm still on my way and we're all currently at the Van Houten Hotel." Jesssey Liu explained, then she told him about all the events that her entourage had experienced this time. 

"Can I see what the wound looks like?" asked Ye Kai who was curious about this quite unique punching style. 

"could. You wait a minute!" Jessey Liu then switched voice calls to video calls. He showed the details of the injuries suffered by his men. "There were six people who were hit by this blow and fortunately, Erick had managed to get the antidote." 

"The antidote?" Ye Kai grew increasingly curious about what Jessey Liu said about the poisonous punching style that had the antidote as well. "Then drink to them quickly before it becomes even more fatal!" 

"We have done it" said Jessey Liu. "But, it seems like the process is long and they won't be able to heal as soon as possible." 

"And the possibility of a trip back to the sect will be a little delay, because tomorrow we still have to discuss with them about the riot that happened tonight." Jessey Liu got up and walked towards the window. 

He and his entourage are currently on the fifth floor of the hotel. There were only five rooms left and made them forced to stay in one room that was supposed to be for only two people, now it contained six people. It was also because of the arrival of the troupe from Sanca Perak who had first booked many places for his entire entourage.

"It's okay, Jesssey. Surely your grandfather will understand your current situation," said Ye Kai to calm the feelings of this friend. For Ye Kai, it was all better to be a little late than to take a sick person on a long trip. 

"Do we need to catch up with you as soon as possible?" asked Ye Kai who was ready if Jesssey Liu asked him to come. 

"I really need you for an examination of this poison. But it's gonna take a long time, isn't it?" jessey Liu asked as she calculated how long it would take to get to where she was. "About three hours from where you are right now, Ye Kai." 

"Isn't that just three hours? Can you wait for me?" asked Ye Kai who was already preparing to leave that night. 

"Well, if you're ready. I'm waiting for you, Ye Kai." Jesssey Liu was delighted that her best friend would be coming to the place. 

"Then wait for me. I'll be right to where you are right now," Ye Kai said in a steady tone of voice without hesitation. "All the business here let Henry and my wife handle it." 

"alright. Be careful, Ye Kai!" Jessey Liu advised for the safety of his friend. "thank you. I always bother you, Ye Kai!"

"alright. Hye!" Jessey Liu ended his call because Ye Kai had hung up. This long-haired young man now felt a little relieved by Ye Kai's intention to come to the Van Houten Hotel. 

Ye Kai had indeed figured out the location of the hotel in the border region between Wu Shang City and Da Ha City quite well. That was because he was an adventurer who was quite reliable in his bachelor years. Various places, martial arts matches had been attended and for a Ye Kai, he had to go home with victory and no word of defeat or surrender.

Jesssey Liu immediately rushed over to Erick Martin. The man was still confused to face one of his men who continued to moan in pain. Even though their condition was much better than before they drank the antidote. 

"Is the pill fake?" asked Erick Martin as if to himself while examining a bluish bruise patterned like a fibrous root.

Erick Martin felt really stupid, because he did not ask much about the usefulness and side effects of the pill that was touted as an antidote. "In this world, is there really a punch style that contains poison like this?" 

"In retrospect it's very absurd, Erick." The voice of Jesssey Liu managed to surprise Erick Martin who was still dissolved in his mind about the science of the strange blows of this Silver Sanca. 

"Oh, Gong Zi!" Erick Martin jumped a little from his shock. However, the man immediately tried hard to deal with it as quickly as possible. "You are right. This is so absurd." 

"But in fact this time there is this kind of thing" said Jessey Liu who also took notice of the root root motif that actually looks quite unique but scary. 

"Sanca Silver Sect is really a place for poison masters who are famous for their greatness in processing poison. Even his inner power science is poisonous, too" murmured Jesssey Liu with admiration.

Jessey Liu was forced to wait until his men became a little calm. Although Erick Martin had asked him to return to his room immediately, the youngest sect leader in Guangbei Province refused. He did not feel the heart to leave the wounded in torture.

Only after they did not moan anymore, did Jessey Liu choose to say goodbye immediately. He was also still reminded of his tiger baby who had gotten angry and became agitated just because of the plastic glass head of someone who escaped in the end.

"Yes already, Erick. I'll go back to my room and remember to get some rest!" Jessey Liu told Erick Martin before leaving the room.

" Okay, Gong Zi!" Erick Martin delivered him to the door. "Good night and good dreams, Gong Zi!"

"Good night, Erick!" jessey Liu exclaimed as she continued walking without looking back. "You too. Dream of the beautiful!"

Erick Martin also decided to just go back into another room prepared for himself. The man also felt quite exhausted after all this day escorting the master and had to handle various affairs.

"This comfortable step in life!" exclaimed the man after being on his bed. "Peace, calm and .. time to dream of course."

"Sometimes someone is looking forward to something as simple as it is today" murmured Erick Martin as he closed his eyelids which began to feel very heavy. "Even a mighty man will not be strong with this heavy burden."

The heavy burden imposed by Erick Martin is drowsiness terribly. Anyone can never resist the arrival of the thing that people sometimes long for with a mountain of anxiety. Drowsiness is also an infinite gift of pleasure.

Let's leave for a moment the two combatant strongholds that are rivals in the martial arts world, namely the Golden Eagle Sect and the Silver Sanca Sect with its special young master.

The Ye Kai residence. Mei Lan became surprised as Ye Kai bade her farewell to leave tonight as well. Just now the man trained his student Zike with vocal training to prepare for the tour of the Symphonic Black Metal band called Danger Death.

"Gege is leaving tonight?" Mei Lan asked as she continued to follow her husband who was preparing to leave.

"Yes. Jessy and her entourage are in trouble, my friends should follow her there." Ye Kai spoke while wearing his beloved jacket. "You are well at home and take good care of our disciple!"

"But, Geeee!" Mei Lan felt objection to Ye Kai's sudden departure. "Can't it be delayed?"

"Can't, Lan'er. The students were exposed to a dangerous poison that Jesssey had not yet been able to overcome" Ye Kai replied while wearing black socks.

"Poisons?" Mei Lan felt shocked until she unconsciously the beautiful woman belonging to Ye Kai was strangled. He asked because he was curious. "Geee. What poison?"

Ye Kai replied, "Straight poisonous punch from the Silver Sanca Sect."

"Black Root Poison Site?" ask Mei Lan.

"So, you know about the poison?"

...Seriate...
