Chapter 284 No Trespassing

Upon hearing Zhou Yu's words, Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng both nodded.

Ouyang Feng, in particular, recalled Wang Fu Lai's earlier words, knowing that even more valuable opportunities awaited them once they infiltrated the Shadow Organization. Therefore, there was no need to argue with Da Xiong over a spiritual energy pill.

The three of them slowly descended the stairs and met up with Wang Fu Lai, who was waiting by the door.

Wang Fu Lai was clearly a man of action. The car that had arrived to pick them up was undeniably expensive, even equipped with a dedicated driver.

Seeing the trio arrive, Wang Fu Lai eagerly opened the car door. "We've been waiting for you! Hurry and get in."

"It's still early. Once we reach our training camp, we can give you a tour."

Since the three of them were already planning to walk into the tiger's den, they naturally did not refuse Wang Fu Lai's invitation. They lowered their heads slightly and boarded the car.

Once seated, Da Xiong was the first to speak. "Brother Wang, how many people are currently at the training camp?"

Wang Fu Lai had anticipated this question and was prepared. He replied with confidence, "The training for this session has just begun, so there aren't many, perhaps around ten or so."

"However, most of those from the previous session are already working within the organization. A few who withdrew are now shining brightly within their respective families."

Although Wang Fu Lai did not explicitly praise them, his words subtly conveyed to Da Xiong that their training camp was exceptionally strong. Anyone who completed the training was guaranteed to be successful.

Da Xiong, though not entirely convinced, still nodded and feigned admiration. "That's wonderful. It seems we made the right choice."

"By the way, about the partner you mentioned yesterday, the one your organization collaborates with, has he decided to join the training camp?"

Wang Fu Lai smiled apologetically. "He took a look and felt the conditions of the training camp weren't suitable. Therefore, our organization's instructors will be training him individually."

After saying this, Wang Fu Lai observed Da Xiong's reaction closely, worried that Da Xiong might be displeased. However, Da Xiong showed no change in his expression and remained enthusiastic.

"That's understandable. After all, he's a partner, so it's only right to allocate more resources to him," Da Xiong commented with a hint of sarcasm.

The mention of this topic piqued Wang Fu Lai's interest, and he began to boast about Zhang Shaohua's prowess, detailing how accomplished he was at such a young age.

Listening to him, Da Xiong and the other two struggled to suppress their laughter, nearly breaking character several times. The Zhang family had poured all their resources into cultivating Zhang Shaohua, yet even he was barely scraping by in the Dragon Group's current freshman training. And now, this individual was being portrayed by Wang Fu Lai as an unparalleled genius.

Da Xiong had to exert considerable effort to hold back his laughter, his facial muscles on the verge of giving way. Fortunately, the car finally stopped at the entrance of the Shadow Organization's training camp.

Wang Fu Lai ceased his eulogy of Zhang Shaohua, slowly alighted from the car, and ushered Da Xiong and the other two inside. As they walked, Wang Fu Lai introduced various areas and explained the functions of different equipment.

It had to be said, despite the Shadow Organization's freshman training being a mere facade, the facilities were remarkably well-equipped. They appeared quite new, almost as if they had never been used.

Da Xiong, pondering this, voiced his question. "Brother Wang, you mentioned this training camp has been running for more than one session. Why do these facilities still look new?"

A flicker of panic crossed Wang Fu Lai's face, but he quickly suppressed it. He smiled and replied, "This is to ensure a better experience for the new trainees. As these facilities can be subject to significant wear and tear, they are replaced with new ones every session."

"The training marks you see on them are basically from the new recruits that have just been admitted this session."

Hearing Wang Fu Lai's blatant falsehoods, all three of them felt an urge to laugh.

Following Wang Fu Lai's introductions, they finally arrived at the accommodation area.

"Our training camp operates under a strict closed-door policy, so you two will be residing here from now on," Wang Fu Lai said with a smile.

The dormitory rooms at the training camp looked decent from the outside. While not on par with a five-star hotel, each person had their own room, and the amenities were all present. The decor was also quite exquisite.

Da Xiong did not object. "Indeed, only through intensive closed-door training can one truly achieve results," he remarked.

Wang Fu Lai quickly nodded in agreement.

After arranging dormitory rooms for Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng, Da Xiong looked at Zhou Yu and asked with a frown, "Brother Wang, you've only arranged rooms for the two of us. What about my retainer?"

Wang Fu Lai looked at Zhou Yu with apologies. "Our training camp does not currently have a training plan for family retainers."

This implied that Zhou Yu should return to wherever he came from. Wang Fu Lai was confident in his stance. Da Xiong's current eagerness for the training camp made him believe that Da Xiong would compromise even if he asked the family retainer to leave.

Da Xiong frowned. Their own strength was limited. Without Zhou Yu by their side, they wouldn't know how they died. From his observations during the journey, Da Xiong had confirmed that this was indeed the Shadow Organization's stronghold, with many experts within. Without Zhou Yu, Da Xiong dared not linger here.

"Brother Wang, what do you mean? If you had said so earlier, we wouldn't have come!"

"This is my family's martial art; he must stay by my side to ensure my safety!" Da Xiong said indignantly.

Wang Fu Lai was about to offer further explanation when Zhou Yu interjected, "Young Master Yang, stop making a scene. This is a training camp, not an amusement park."

"Brother Wang, my young master is right. I have a mission to ensure their safety. Could you perhaps arrange a place for me to rest?"

With Zhou Yu's intercession, Wang Fu Lai had no choice but to agree. Otherwise, it would raise too many suspicions. Wang Fu Lai's original intention was to inform them at the last minute that there were no resting places for family retainers, thereby forcing Zhou Yu out. This way, the two family disciples would be completely at the mercy of the Shadow Organization, unable to seek help.

However, Wang Fu Lai could only compromise now. He said with a hint of annoyance, "It was my oversight. No one has ever requested this before."

"How about this, there's still space in the instructors' lounge. This brother can stay there for now." Instructors also had dormitories, though their conditions were slightly inferior to those of the new trainees.

As soon as Da Xiong heard that the three of them would not be separated, he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Thank you for your trouble, Brother Wang," Da Xiong said, satisfied. He then returned to the dormitory with Ouyang Feng.
