Chapter 202 Russell: I just want to climb to the top step by step
Chapter 202 Russell: I just want to climb to the top step by step (x)
Standing outside the Nanjing University office building, Russell sent a message to Miao Xuan and started thinking.
The first place Russell ruled out among the three was Lu Island.
It’s not because of any other reason, but mainly because it is a bit dangerous for Lu Island to have high-level card makers.
You have to know that Russell is the Sixth Master of the Begging Spirit Society. It is really not appropriate for him to go to that kind of place.
As for Qicheng and Donglai, there is not much difference between the two. In both cities, he can be parachuted in as vice president as soon as he arrives, and there will be presidents who can surpass him in the entire city.
If the Qiling Society really had any mission, he wouldn't have to be timid in doing it.
"But in the final analysis, it still depends on what Qi Linghui thinks." Russell sighed, a hint of gloom rising in his eyes.
There's no point in thinking so much at this point, I should go see Miao Xuan first.
When Russell emerged from the shadows in Miaoxuan's office, Nandu's biggest pimp had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Master, you are here." Looking at the excessively young gold-level card maker in front of her, Miao Xuan showed a flattering smile on her face.
Russell waved his hand and poured himself a glass of water: "Stop talking nonsense, what did you call me for this time?"
Miao Xuan was not angry at Russell's attitude. After all, in terms of status and position, the man in front of her asked her to kneel on the ground and bark like a dog and she had no choice but to do it obediently.
"Master, the association would like to ask you if you want to choose a training position?"
"Sure enough." Russell couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The only reason why the Qi Ling Society came to him at this critical moment could be because of this matter.
Then he told Miaoxuan the three cities to choose from.
Miao Xuan looked unsurprised when she heard this: "Sir, the association hopes you will choose a city with greater autonomy."
Russell was stunned, and then fell into deep thought.
He could also understand the thinking of the Begging Spirit Society. It was simply that the greater the autonomy he had, the more things he could intervene in.
"It seems that this coincides with my idea."
Russell wanted a position with greater autonomy because he would not be controlled by the Qi Ling Society, and he would have the final say on what to do.
Unless the Qi Ling Society sends someone to supervise him.
But for now, Jinping seems to be very confident about his contract.
In Russell's perception, supervisors like Miao Xuan simply do not exist.
"In this case, only Qicheng and Donglai are left."
"Which one should I choose?"
There is not much difference between the two cities. Both are located on the coast, but Yucheng is in the south and Donglai is in the north.
After thinking for a while, Russell finally decided to choose Donglai.
The reason is very simple. Donglai is closer to Nandu than Qiecheng. After all, he had promised his senior sister that he would go back to Nandu to visit her more often when he is free.
"Dongla, please talk to the association for me."
Who would have thought that after Russell said this, Miao Xuan smiled awkwardly: "Master, it's not my turn to talk about this kind of thing. The club hopes that you will return to Shanghai before taking office."
"The president wants to see you."
Russell was startled, then frowned slightly.
He hasn't seen Jinping since joining the Qiling Society, and most of their contact is through Miaoxuan.
Now that you think I'm mature enough, are you ready to connect with me directly?
Thinking of this, Russell calmed down and replied calmly: "I know."
"Who should I contact in Shanghai?"
Miao Xuan hurriedly said, "Master, just wait when you get back. The president and the others will come to find you on their own."
After hearing this, Russell initially ruled out the possibility of being exposed, and the possibility of the Hongmen Banquet decreased.
Otherwise, Qi Ling would arrange a place for him to keep the appointment.
"Okay, I understand. I'll leave first if it's okay."
However, just as Russell was about to leave, Miao Xuan hurriedly stopped him: "Sir, please stay, there is one more thing."
He stopped the ghostly soldier who appeared: "Speak."
"Well, I wonder if you still remember Moyu? The meaning of the association is that he will follow you in the future." As if afraid that Russell would misunderstand, Miao Xuan immediately explained, "Master, don't think that he is being monitored. It's just that the association thinks that you have just been promoted to the gold level and may not be safe, so they are going to let him protect you."
Russell did not say that he had made the first gold-level card.
"laugh"
A sneer rang out in the office, and Miaoxuan's heart instantly rose to her throat.
After a long while, Russell's emotionless voice reached her ears again.
"What about people?"
"I'll notify him to come over right away."
Russell looked at Miaoxuan sending a message on her phone with her head down, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
The appearance of the cuttlefish somewhat disrupted his plans.
"We have to find a chance to deal with it."
He had already made up his mind that he would find a way to get rid of the tail when he arrived at the place.
My name is Moyu, I am a 48-year-old male and I am currently a homeless person.
The story begins with an assassination mission I accepted during a meeting.
Originally, I thought my target was just a silver-level card maker and it would be easy for me to complete the task.
But when I got there, I realized something was wrong.
No one told me that the target of assassination was the immediate boss of the gang!
Fortunately, I was able to please the other party a little with my superb dog-licking skills, but it was obvious that I was still hidden.
So recently I always felt that this was not enough, so when I saw the opponent break through to the gold level on TV, I knew my chance had come.
I spent most of my family fortune to bribe that gossipy woman, hoping that she would ask the association to let me protect the other person.
It was successful and the association approved my request.
Now that gossip asked me to go see Sixth Master.
Russell looked at the honest middle-aged man in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "Then you just follow me first."
Moyu felt relieved. He felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange since he arrived, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Fortunately, Master Liu finally agreed: "Thank you, Master Liu! Thank you, Master Liu! From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do!"
"Then why don't you undergo sex change and debut as an idol? I've also thought of a stage name for you, it'll be Airi-chan."
"The money earned will be used as funds for the club's activities."
Moyu froze, looking at the serious young man in front of him, unable to tell whether the other party was joking or not.
Russell glanced at him and said casually: "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously."
Squid smirked twice and couldn't help but clamp his legs together.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. Moyu, you can go to Donglai and wait for me."
"Yes!" x2.
With a wave of his hand, Russell disappeared into Miaoxuan's office.
The two of them felt as if they had been pardoned. Facing the existence that could control their life and death, the pressure was too great.
Especially Moyu, he still doesn't know whether Liu Ye was joking or telling the truth just now.
As if she noticed Moyu's uneasiness, Miaoxuan patted his shoulder and said, "Do your best."
"Airi-chan."
The corner of Moyu's eye twitched when he heard that, and he roared inwardly: "Damn gossip, who do you think caused me to become like this?!"
But he still looked very grateful: "Thanks to Mr. Miao this time."
"I'll treat you to a meal when I'm free."
"boom!"
A dark alley next to the Shanghai Transportation Station.
A lonely man and a widow.
"I don't want to drink this, it's too bitter."
The tea-haired girl handed the oolong tea in her hand to the slender black-haired young man beside her.
The young man looked at the vending machine in front of him and exclaimed: "It actually works. Now as the head of the family, I will crown you the King of Free Drinks."
"From now on, the drinks for the Russell family will all depend on you, Mikoto."
"Idiot! How long will it take me to finish the fight by myself?!" The brown-haired girl punched the young man next to her in shame and anger.
Then came another powerful kick towards the vending machine.
"boom!"
"Boom."
Another bottle of drink rolled down from the exit.
This time it was coconut soda.
The tea-haired girl's eyes lit up, she opened the pull ring and sipped the drink. The young man ruffled the girl's hair, but was impatiently slapped away by the other party.
But the red tips of her ears betrayed her.
"Tsundere has retired."
"No Road Race!"
"Yes, yes, that's it. Can you do it a few more times?"
The two people are naturally Russell and Misaka Mikoto.
After talking with Miaoxuan that day, he reported his choice to the school.
He is now the vice president of the Donglai City Card Master Association.
Remember to call him President Luo from now on, and refer to your position when you are working!
However, before going to Donglai City to take up his post, Russell had to return to Shanghai first.
There was nothing he could do, since the big boss of the Qiling Society, Jin Ping, had specifically asked to see him.
Fortunately, Bai Yueming has not been in Shanghai recently, otherwise Russell would have to make careful plans before coming to Shanghai.
He really didn't dare to imagine how Bai Yueming would react when she saw him meeting Jin Ping.
But isn't this also a Shura field?
The kind that kills.
"I'm back again." Russell couldn't help but feel emotional as he looked at the Happy Home community in front of him.
He will not stay in Shanghai for long this time. He will go to Donglai City to take up his post in three or four days at most.
Of course, there was no need to find another place to live. He could just make do with the old and run-down house where he first woke up.
"Before that, we still have to make preparations for both situations."
Since Russell had no idea what Jinping wanted to talk to him about, it was natural for him to be completely unprepared.
He has stored all the information he knows about the Spirit Begging Society in a USB flash drive. With the expert hacker Misaka Mikoto around, the data in the USB flash drive is naturally safe.
As for the USB drive.
He was buried underground in Nandu's house.
A thief would not dare to steal anything under the nose of Walnut, a diamond-level card maker.
As for what would happen if Hu Tao found the USB flash drive, he still believed that his senior sister would not touch his things given her character.
That's assuming nothing happened to him.
After all, he still vividly remembered the scene where the other party threw Wu Yun's head at his feet without hesitation.
However, if nothing happens in the end, he will destroy the USB drive before taking office.
"Hey, if I were a diamond rank now and could activate [Spirit King Resurrection], I would be upset."
The feeling of being controlled was a thorn in Russell's side.
"Forbearance!"
He felt that day would not be far away.
When he twists Jin Ping's head off and kicks it like a ball, he will have the final say in the Qi Ling Society.
Soon, night fell over the coastal city of Shanghai.
Russell, who was meditating, opened his eyes.
Someone came to his house.
An old man with a gloomy face and a man in a black suit were sitting quietly on the shabby sofa in his house.
".President?"
Russell asked affirmatively, recognizing the identity of the man in the black suit.
It’s Gu Wu.
The old man grinned, "Russell, this is the first time we meet, right?"
"Yes." After a moment of silence, Russell nodded.
This was the first time he had a face-to-face conversation with the president, Jinping, after joining the Qiling Society.
Seeing this, Jin Ping let out a hoarse low laugh: "Don't be so nervous, Russell. Weren't you very brave in Su City before?"
Russell was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he had pretended to be Gu Wu to report the Guiyi Sect.
Glancing at the expressionless master secretly, he showed an awkward smile on his face: "The dogs from Guiyi Sect are chasing us and biting us, and it's hard to reveal my identity, so I can only trouble Master Wu."
Jinping laughed out loud: "I don't blame you. After all, the Guiyi Sect did cross the line."
Seeing that Russell was a little nervous, Jinping acted as if he had suddenly realized something, but then he showed a malicious smile: "Are you worried about being exposed?"
"Don't worry, no one in Shanghai can spy on this house now."
"But even if I'm exposed, I'm just a clone."
“But you guys.”
Russell's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know if Jinping had any hidden meaning in his words.
Fortunately, Jin Ping's next words made him breathe a sigh of relief: "Relax, I can't bear to let you be exposed like this now."
Russell's face looked a little ugly, and he cursed in his heart: "Mad man!"
It seemed to him that Jinping didn't care about the Begging Spirit Society at all.
But it's true, with Hermes here, as long as he doesn't die, he can create another similar organization.
"I don't have much to ask you this time."
"You take this first."
As Jin Ping finished speaking, Gu Wu took out an envelope from his pocket and threw it to Russell.
Russell took the envelope and touched it.
It's material.
"Thank you, President." He handed the envelope to the ghost soldier beside him. The specific material information would have to wait until he had dealt with it.
Jin Ping nodded slightly: "Let's talk business. I already know that you are going to Donglai, Vice President."
"Ah."
"All members of the Qiling Society in Donglai will be under your control."
"I'll give you a prop card later to use to contact the club."
"The usual tasks are issued by Xiaowu."
At this point, Jin Ping paused for a moment before speaking in a deep voice, "What I want to say is that it doesn't matter if the mission is not completed. If necessary, we can use the Qiling Society in Donglai as bait."
"Everything is done to hide your identity."
Russell's heart sank. Although he was somewhat pleased with what Jinping said, it was not much: "It seems that the Qiling Club has big plans."
Jin Ping had just acted as if he didn't care, but now he was reminding me like this.
That only meant that he was very important to the old man's plan.
As for why.
Russell immediately figured out the reason.
He is Bai Yueming's disciple.
"Fortunately, it seems that he didn't notice anything wrong with the contract."
Russell sneered in his heart. Jinping's absolute trust in the contract was his bargaining chip for turning the tables.
"Okay, that's all I have to say." Jinping stood up, his face hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to see his expression. "I hope you won't let me down, Russell."
After he finished speaking, Russell was the only one left in the room.
He stood up and picked up a card left on the coffee table.

"Miao Xuan relies on this to communicate with the Qiling Society." Russell looked at the smart phone-shaped card in his hand.
After thinking for a moment, he still didn't plan to call out Misaka Mikoto to check if the smartphone had any backup plans.
After all, no one knew whether Jinping was still observing him.
"Meditate first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow when we get back to Nandu."
Thinking of this, Russell closed his eyes and continued his meditation session today.
"He is quite patient. It seems we can rest assured." Outside the building, the old man with the hooked nose looked up at the dark room and said, "Let's go, Xiaowu. We still have things to do."
"Yes, President."
