Han Lingshi and the rest of the family was gathered in the Yue Mansion. Yue Chilong, and a middle aged lady were also there. The middle aged lady was called Gao Ying. She was Gao Yue's niece and the last member of the Gao Family, and also wife of Yue families, young lady. Gao Ying looked at Han Lingshi and asked, "Xiao Ling, why are you so worried." Han Lingshi had been fiddling with the ring on her finger. She smiled and shook her head as she said, "I am not worried even on the slightest. I am only curious what they might be doing at the moment." Gao Ying smiled and looked at Gao Yue and Yue Shi, before she asked, "Auntie, I see that your cultivation is growing back to what it was." The old lady smiled and said, "Yes, it is all thanks to the Hao Family." Han Lingshi was surprised and then she took a deep look at Gao Ying before she raised her brows and mumbled, "Yin & Yang eyes." Everyone was surprised, even Gao Ying too was surprised. She did not expect Han Lingshi to see through one of her biggest cards. She asked, "How did you figure out?" Han Lingshi smiled and her eyes flashed with a flicker of blue before it vanished. Gao Ying opened her eyes wide, and asked, "What the hell! How did you find this out?" Han Lingshi smiled and replied, "I have cultivated Yin and Yang eyes. Thanks to Hao Ren." Then they began to ask how it happened, but Han Lingshi only told them, that Hao Ren found a mystic pill hidden inside a ruin which allowed her to practice the Yin and Yang eyes. ... Hao Ren and Yue Shenlong were laying on the grass and the sun was about to set, when Xiao Mei asked, "Boss, how long do you want to wait?" The young man replied, "At the darkest hour, when the senses of the humans and the rest of the beings are at their dullest. No matter how well slept you are, or how fit you are, your senses will become sluggish." Yue Shenlong smiled and said, "That is a very apt definition. It is a well known tactic even in modern warfare." While they were waiting, somewhere far away in the Hawk Nation, a middle aged man was having a rare steak in a big restaurant. Suddenly, a young lady with sharp features walked over and said, "Director Hernandez, may I have a moment of your time?" The middle aged man was the director of DEHB in the Hawk Nation. This organization did not work as covertly as the one in Han Nation did. However, the people did not know their real identities. Hernandez sighed and asked, "What do you want to do with the moment of my time? The formulae is not easy to get. The Han government is holding back as much as possible. However, you guys took in the relative of the inventor. So, they will break, just give them one more day, and tell those men of yours to not go trigger happy." The lady furrowed her brows and commented, "I don't know why you cannot understand this, but the order to acquire the formulae came directly from the president himself." Hernandez nodded and said, "The order came, but it was because I told him about it." The lady was surprised and then Hernandez said, "I am going over their tomorrow morning, so don't worry, I will convince those people. DEHB cannot get involved in this directly, because the senior members of the Han Family have been DEHB members. It will breed distrust in the organization." The lady did not wish to budge and asked, "If they have been the members of your organization, then why can you not take it directly?" Hernandez rolled his eyes, put down his fork and knife, before he pointed his crimson eyes at the young lady and said, "Because the younger generation of those families are unrelated to the organization and the formulae was a business deal with military. You are just an analyst and not a diplomat so mind your business and let us handle the big game. Ben shook his head and said, "Come out, right away. Or I will dial the number right away. Your choice, you have three seconds." Echo clenched her fist hard, and it hurt Han Lingxue, who whimpered in pain. Ben glared at his counter part, who decided to get off the bed and left the room in a huff. Ben watched Echo leave and said, "I apologize for this." Then he locked the door from outside. Just when Hao Lingxue was about to tear up, she caught sight of a phone on the bed. She quickly picked it up and just when she was about to make a call, she heard footsteps. Thinking that Echo had come back to get her phone she placed the phone back and shrank back in her bed. Then she took some time to calm down. Meanwhile Hao Ren activated his Yin and Yang eyes, and he dashed out. The place around the house did not have much illumination. It was done to hide the safehouse from the eyes of the enemies or travelers. This place was located in the middle of the nowhere, just a shallow tree line separated them from the common world. Hao Ren could see the guards posted around the house. At the moment, there were seven people sitting on steel chairs. While three of them were moving around. During his reckon, Hao Ren found that these guards were on rotating shifts to maintain their best output. At this time, his biggest challenge was to take down the guards without raising an alarm. Thankfully, he had the skills that he needed. From his space ring came out several silver needles, and then he began to approach the guards and flick the needles aimed precisely at their acupoints. He aimed at their vocal acupoints, and then he approached them to give them some quick hard pokes and immobilize them before feeding them a few drops of paralysis potion. The count began, in the night, his black and dark grey camouflage covered up his outline and his work was done quickly. He knew that at night, their would be only hourly status check, and he had only used ten minutes dealing with the guards. He did not kill anyone because if he did that, the werewolves, who were extremely sensitive to the scent of blood would be alerted. Xiao Mei bought this information from the Dark net. There were a few people in the world who have worked along side Werewolves from the spy world, and knew what ticked them. After ten minutes, Hao Ren climbed the side wall by using the pipeline, and came to the terrace with soft steps. He was an assassin, and now a cultivator. His senses were under his control and they could compete with a werewolf. On the top of the ceiling was a central air conditioning unit. The young man smiled and took out a paper from his space ring, there he put some fine talcum powder on the paper and dropped it inside the vent. This was a strong sleeping medicine that he had prepared. In the reckon, he had found the exact location of Han Lingxue's room. The picture was the major clue. Circling around the terrace he said, "Alert him, to be ready. It could be any moment now." Xiao Mei responded with a blink of screen light. Speakers emitted a frequency that wolves can catch. Hao Ren was so cautious that he made sure to cover as many bases as he could. He descended from the terrace to the first floor of the house, and just when he was about to enter the house, he heard a loud call, "Hold your breathe, we have a gas leak. Secure the target and move out." Hao Ren sighed and he jumped down before quickly dashing into the distance. The people would be coming out from the front. The back door of the place was a trap door on the back which was too much of an hassle, after all, they thought it was a gas leak and not an attack. Thirty seconds later, the door of the house was pushed open, and lights were switched on as people rushed out. Hao Ren counted seven in total, his gaze locked onto Han Lingxue. He shot six needles. Four of them landed on the human targets perfectly, but two people moved away and just suffered a light wound on their necks. These two people were Ben and Echo. The former narrowed his eyes and attacked Hao Ren. Han Lingxue noticed his figure and exclaimed, "Brother-in-law." Hao Ren winked at her and leaned to the left before his fist moved close to the torso of the burly male. Ben snorted and was about to move away, before suddenly, he could not. Then his belly ached with terrible pain, and he saw a sword driven through his stomach. Hao Ren then took the sword back, and knowing that the enemy would not die here, he took out the silver needles and moved around before flicking them at Ben's acupoints. The werewolf was immobilized, and Hao Ren turned to look at Echo who was surprised for a second before she looked around and said, "You came all the way to save her, what if..." She was yet to finish her words when Hao Ren said, "Take it." Echo was confused, before she heard a puff at some distance, and was about to react but the silver bullet has already lodged itself in her side. Han Lingxue did not even get the time to react before Hao Ren was standing next to her, and he kicked Echo to the side. He asked with a smile, "Xuexue, did you miss me?"
