The Invincible Corruption Manual

Croak- cock -co-co-co-co-coak -cock...!

It was early in the morning and the repeated rhythmic crowing of a flock of early roosters echoed the entire Sandara Town. The piercing, unsmooth sounds of those cockerels woke all the town dwellers. Especially those toddlers woke up and the previous dead-like serene and relaxed ambiance inside the castle was filled with the chain crying and cooing of those three thousand toddlers, waking almost all those looking after and sleeping with them.

The sharp unpleasing sounds of the repeated crowing sound of roosters died down on hearing the early commotion rushed coming from all those town folk leaving inside the castle. For everyone, however, another early morning meant another good tooling day for them as they began their daily early chores.

All the ladies, even those juvenile girls of the town, attended to those toddlers as there was a shortage of those caretakers. It was pretty obvious, as the ratio of babysitters to toddlers was 1:10.

Inside the kitchen of the castle, a handsome youth was currently cooking breakfast for the whole town, and sixty-seven other men were also inside the kitchen following his advice and sometimes they were oblique to follow his orders on various necessities and running errands for him.

The youth had a beautiful appearance, a tall and slightly petite physique. As he moved his body while stirring the ladle inside the boiling giant pot, the pair of golden bar earrings attached to his ears with chains jingled in the air moving to and fro.

The two teenage girls who happened to come inside the kitchen at that time were also dumbstruck on seeing his face, mesmerizing them on further seeing the moving pair of the golden bar earring swinging in the air as he moved. They stood there looking over his handsome face, even forgetting to blink their eyes.

Those associate chefs around began to be aware of them. One of them came before them and asked, "Girls, what are you doing here?"  But the two girls remained in a daze and one girl spoke, thinking out loud, " I have never seen someone so handsome like him before."

"Sure, he's so much more handsome when looking from near." The other little girl also agreed, replying to her.

The chef just before them called to them again, but the two were still not paying attention to him and saw their bright twinkling eyes while gazing at the youth who were still stirring the ladle. " These girls. Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!" the man harrumphed thrice, trying to bring their attention to him. The two juvenile girls had still engaged in their minds about the youth before them.

The chef began to get a bit annoyed as the two little girls ignored him and treated him like air. So he kicked his right leg on the floor, making a loud thudding sound, startling the two teenage girls, jolting back awake from their stupor.

"Um, we are sorry." One of them apologized quickly to him.

Seeing their naivety looks hung all over their face, the man quickly cooled himself down and asked again in a softer tone, "Nice girls. Alright, can you two tell me why you are here?"

"Uncle, we are sent here to run an errand for the town head."  One of the girls replied. The other also nodded their head and the two eyes wondered around again toward the handsome youth, unconsciously as if attracted to him.

"Fine, then it must be something important. What is it?"  the Chef asked again.

"Uncle, we are told to bring Young Master Joey to the town head, right now." the girl responded.

The chef walked closer to the handsome youth who was currently engrossing himself fully on preparing those meals and spoke out loudly but politely, "Young Master Joey, I have news for you!"

"Oh, what is it? It's about to be done here, too. Wait for a couple of minutes." The handsome youth responded.

After several minutes later, he took out the ladle and said with a smile, "Hee hee hee, now, it's all done." The moment he took out the ladle from inside the large pot, a rich, slightly inky, redolent steam released from inside the large pot, diffusing it all around the room.

All the chefs and also, including the two teenage girls, closed their eyes and sniffed the rich air vigorously as if they were afraid that the smell would soon disappear in the air.

Seeing all of their expressions, an exuberant feeling appeared in Joey's heart. And grinned, feeling proud of his culinary skills. "This is what I have been waiting for. Now, all of my efforts are fully paid off."

Joey then slowly approached the chef, who had talked to him a moment before. He tapped on his shoulder lightly and asked, "Gou Jing, what did you just say to me before?"

All of those inside the rooms opened their eyes, recollecting themselves, but it was deniable that now all of their faces had the expression of admiration and envy on them.

"Young Master Joey, I think town head Yang Ling has your needs on something. And these two girls are here to bring you to him. Please," Gou Jing replied in a very polite tone.

Joey looked over at the two beautiful teenage girls and saw their eyes brighten as his eyes gazed over their faces. He then made a smile at them.

His good intentions of showing friendly to them might have caused a repercussion or something else as the little budding spring hearts of the two teenage girls began to pound rapidly and also their faces turned all red, blushing.

"Uh-hah!" The chef Gou Jing made a heavy sigh at seeing their all opened book expression.

Joey also caught the glimpse of what was really transpiring inside the room. But he walked toward the exit of the kitchen and said with a smile, "Girls, led me. Town head, Yang Lin, must have been waiting for me."  Then he walked out of the kitchen. The two teenage girls recollected themselves and rushed out, following behind him.

The chef, Gao Jing, burst into laughter as his eyes traced at the back of the two naive girls, "Hahaha…must be really good to be in their youths."

The other chefs inside the kitchen also knew the underlying meaning of his statement. And they all also burst into laughter.

"Alright, everyone. It's breakfast time. Get ready. We must all do our jobs here efficiently. We must also show to our wives that we are also doing a goddamn job here in the kitchen. Alright, go."  The head chef, Gao Jing, shouted.

Joey was brought to the top floor of the castle, which was also the office of the town head.

After entering the room, Joey saw that the town head was currently writing down something and was all busy, as he needed to do lots of calculations during these times.

As he heard the door of the room opening, the town head, Yang Lin stood up and greeted, "Young master, you are here. Please, help yourself." He waved his hand, gesturing to the armchair.

Joey smiled and sat on the chair unceremoniously. He then asked, "Town head, do you need my assistance on something?"

"Yes, young master. You might not have been aware of it as you are all the time busy yourself, cooking. A crowd of people arrived in Sandara Town last night. And the people gathering outside the town gate were increasing sharply by this morning."  The town head, Yang Lin said.

"It's good news then. They must be those parents. Why don't you just make them enter inside the town? " Joey said.

"No, young master Joey. They are not the parents. We let all the parents inside. But those people outside are here for other reasons. And I as the acting head of this town, went out this early morning and asked their purpose for coming to the town. Do you know what they demanded from me?" Town head, Yang Lin explained patiently and asked.

After pausing for a moment, he further added, "They are all here you, Young master Joey. They all wanted to meet you personally."

"Hah!" Joey exclaimed, "But why?"

"It must have something to do with your recent reputations of exterminating those runts from the Ten Thousands Poisons Sects and saving those toddlers from their evil schemes. In short, they are all your admirers."  The town head, Yang Lin, looked at him and said with a wry smile, "So young master, can you please make them leave our town? As you have already known currently, we couldn't spare our grains and resources with them. " He finally came to the point.

"Alright, I'll do that."  Joey stood up and cupped at him and said," Then I shall excuse myself."  Yang Lin had also stood up and cupped back at him.

Joey rushed out of the room. The next moment, he disappeared and reappeared just before the town gate. There he saw thousands of people camping in the vast grassland-field just on the outskirt of the town. Smokes were also coming out of those multiple tents, camping there.
