"Brilliant, brilliant!" At this moment, a voice rang out beside Chen Hao.
Soon after, Hua Shan appeared in front of Chen Hao, holding a camera in his hand.
Seeing Chen Hao about to make a move, Hua Shan hastily waved his hands and urgently said, "Don't be impulsive, I'm just responsible for filming!"
Chen Hao let out a snort of anger through his nose, then pulled Xiao Man back onto the balcony.
"Go down and see how they are?" Hua Shan said to Xiao Man, "Weren't you a bit too heavy-handed just now? Aren't you afraid that the lightning you summoned could have killed them?"
"Boss, didn't you say you wanted it to be as realistic as possible?" complained Xiao Man as she walked into the room.
"Hua Shan, what exactly are you doing?" asked Chen Hao.
"Gathering evidence!" Hua Shan explained, "The client who offered thirty million to have you killed called to rush me yesterday, and we pride ourselves on our professional ethics. As you saw just now, it was a genuine and fierce fight; they really couldn't beat you! I'll send this video to them later, showing how our people risk their lives to carry out the task they entrusted us with."
When Chen Hao heard Hua Shan speak of "professional ethics," he couldn't help but smirk, wondering if Hua Shan was being ironic.
"So if we're going for realism, should I go down now and either cripple or kill all three of them?" Chen Hao asked with a laugh.
"No need, you're a kind-hearted person at heart; killing doesn't suit you, and it might raise suspicions," said Hua Shan, while closing the camera cover. Then he took a checkbook and a pen out of his pocket, tore off a check, and handed it to Chen Hao: "Here is three million for you to take."
Chen Hao, astonished, asked, "Why are you giving me so much money all of a sudden?"
"It's a token of my gratitude for not killing my three subordinates," explained Hua Shan. "And besides, without you, I wouldn't have been able to receive that fifty million."
Chen Hao looked down at the three people in the courtyard and suddenly exclaimed loudly, "You give me three million, so you value each of their lives at only one million each?"
Hua Shan's expression darkened, he immediately retracted the check, then tore off another check and after writing on it, handed it to Chen Hao: "Is five million enough for you?"
Chen Hao scoffed and then yelled at the three below: "So that's what they're worth to you in your heart."
"Stop trying to drive a wedge between us!" Hua Shan hurried forward and covered Chen Hao's mouth, "Five million should be enough for you to spend a lifetime."
"But you received a total of thirty million, we should divide it equally, that's fifteen million each."
"I still have a bunch of oddballs to support," said Hua Shan, frowning. "Besides, I still have a favor to do for you, right? That favor is definitely worth ten million."
Chen Hao was startled and sighed, "You knew I was coming to ask for your help?"
"Say it! What is it?" Hua Shan asked, taking back the checkbook and pen.
Chen Hao then relayed to Hua Shan the method of cleaning up the Soul Corpse that Ye Yuqiao had told him.
After listening, Hua Shan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "An evening tour for three people in six locations, that sounds like ten million might not be enough to cover it. So, I'll need two conditions."
"You're not going to ask me to join your weirdo organization again, are you?"
"You're a weirdo yourself! And you'll join us sooner or later, so I'd be foolish to use that as a condition," Hua Shan shook his head, "First condition, is that your girlfriend, beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, must come with us."
Chen Hao's face suddenly darkened, and with a cold fury in his eyes, he coldly asked, "Why does she have to go?"
"Because she's a beauty; that's a secondary reason," Hua Shan explained. "The main reason is that as soon as I use my skills, the people of the City of Yin and Time will spot me, and only your girlfriend can help me deal with them."
"What's the second condition?"
"Remember this, Chen Hao, you owe me, Hua Shan, a favor."
...
After meeting with Hua Shan, Chen Hao returned to the hotel, where Ye Yuqiao was just getting ready to sleep.
After Chen Hao mentioned the conditions Hua Shan had proposed, Ye Yuqiao agreed without hesitation: "No problem, I can go with them tomorrow night to deal with the Soul Corpse, but that leaves you alone in D City."
Chen Hao smiled and shook his head, saying, "Don't worry, I trust you'll be back soon! You might encounter people from the City of Yin and Time tomorrow night, so be careful."
At this moment.
Headquarters of the East Country Yin Yang Master Association.
Luo Pengfei and the other members of the Association's board sat in a conference room.
After watching the video sent by Hua Shan, Huang Can, the vice president of the National Yin Yang Master Association, heaved a sigh and said, "I didn't expect Chen Hao's skill to be so exceptional, even the people from the Superpower League can't cope with him; it looks like we'll have to step in ourselves."
"Let's not worry about him for now; this kid is nothing but a troublemaker," Luo Pengfei pondered, "The day after tomorrow we have even more important matters; we must not let him disrupt the big plan because of one person."
"So what do you suggest, President?"
"Since we can't kill him for the time being, we'll have to settle for the next best thing. Send someone to investigate where he lives, then use a sealing spell to temporarily imprison him. Once our plan is successful, I will personally take care of him!" Luo Pengfei said.
"Hmm!" Du Xiao nodded, "President Luo's thinking is indeed thorough."
"Brown-noser!" Ma Xiaokang said with disdain from the opposite side.
"Ma Xiaokang, what did you say?" Du Xiao slammed the table and stood up in anger, "Anyway, I am now the president of the National Association, show some respect. Don't think we don't know that today you secretly went to meet Chen Hao and got rebuffed. With your fence-sitting ways, you still have the face to sit here."
Ma Xiaokang's eyes widened, and after a pause, he explained, "Who's a fence-sitter! Our demon-expelling Ma family and their evil-dispelling Chen family have had dealings for generations, I was merely being polite to say hello."
"What did you say!" Luo Pengfei suddenly furrowed his brows, "Which Chen family are they?"
"You don't know, President?" Ma Xiaokang was a bit shocked, "It's the Chen family that over a thousand years ago was considered one of the three great onmyoji noble families along with our demon-expelling Ma family and the demon-quelling Mao family."
"Who would know about something from a thousand years ago, how dare you bring that up!" Du Xiao scorned, "What nonsense about three great onmyoji noble families; aside from your Ma family, does anyone even know the other two?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Pengfei was shocked! He wondered if there could be any relationship between Chen Hao and Chen Jing?
...
The next day.
One day left until the Onmyoji Conference.
After dusk, Ye Yuqiao left D City along with Hua Shan.
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the East Country Yin Yang Master Association, seven board members were preparing to set off, with only Luo Pengfei remaining.
