Hao Ren was standing before the lady who was hiding and acting as Four, one of the Alpha Blade mercenary group members. He was about to kill her when she asked him to hear her out. This whole thing did not sit well with Hao Ren but he decided to listen to the person. Hao Ren looked at her and said, "Go on, say whatever you want to say." The young lady before him said, "I am Yin Ye. I was a child when my parents bought me over to this world. However, they were hunted down by DEHB members." Hao Ren narrowed his eyes and asked, "Can you prove what you say is the truth?" Yin Ye thought for a bit and took out a couple of notebooks, and said, "These are the cultivation skills that my parents left for me. You are a peak black realm cultivator, so you might be able to tell that it is all realm." Hao Ren did not touch the books and shook his head, "This is not enough. Can you tell me where your parents came from? Were they members of a big family?" Yin Ye nodded and said, "They were the descendants of the Blood Feather Tower. My father was an assassin, however, the tower had fallen in power a long time ago. Someone from the left over people assassinated a big shot and the people began to hunt all and every member who survived the first purge. My parents were just young adults when they had to flee and come here." Hao Ren thought about it and flicked his finger. A needle was embedded in the neck of the young girl. Yin Ye was shocked, she looked at Hao Ren with eyes wide open and the young man said, "I stabbed you with a poison needle. We will go out of here, and then I will verify your claims. However, if you dared to use spiritual energy, the poison will eat you up with in a few seconds." His words were true and Yin Ye shivered. She was an assassin and had killed many people, but she had never felt fear like this. Looking at the opening in ceiling she gulped, because not only was this man strong, he even managed to melt the vault which was eleven inches thick. She had no choice but to follow what he said. Yin Ye nodded, and Hao Ren picked up Agni who was gazing at him with sparkling eyes. He looked at her in askance and the little one shook her eyes. The young man then came to stand below the hole in the ceiling and said, "You will follow me up, and then we will see through the entire situation." Yin Ye agreed and Hao Ren jumped up through the hole with Agni in his arms. Yin Ye looked around at the fallen corpses and then she sighed before following the young man. Hao Ren stood in the vault, and Agni was still gazing at him. She did not know the value of all the things here and Hao Ren was her hero. The young man gestured at Yin Ye and said, "Go to the terrace." Yin Ye walked ahead of him and the young man said, "Xiao Mei connect me to Old Boy Hao, we have a hostage whose identity needs to be confirmed." Xiao Mei was as quick as lightning when it came to executing commands. It was already two in the morning, and after a while the call connected. Tang Zen spoke from the other side, "Old Hao is sleeping. He has been cultivating for the past week and just decided to get some rest. If it is something urgent I can help you." Hao Ren did not expect this to happen but then he sighed and said, "Ma, there is a girl here, Yin Ye, she claims to be the last surviving descendant of the Blood Feather Tower. Can you confirm it?" Tang Zen thought for a bit and asked, "Ask her if she has a death flower." Hao Ren looked at Yin Ye and asked, "Do you have a death flower?" Agni opened her eyes wide and nodded like a chick pecking grains, and the two of the jumped off the bank terrace. It was not high, just seven floors, easy for Hao Ren. Yin Ye also followed along. She was a yellow realm cultivator, it was easy for her as well. The lady drove her own vehicle and followed Hao Ren to his house. Bringing her along, Hao Ren had an idea, and when they reached home, he explained it to Han Lingshi, "You will be the Empress when we go back. You will need a trusted minister who can handle diplomacy, Maya fits that role, and you will need a blade that mows down your enemy in shadows, for that Yin Ye is apt." Han Lingshi nodded but then solemnly asked, "I understand what you are saying, but how can we trust her just like that?" Hao Ren was prepared to deal with it and took out a scroll that he had bought from the system mall. He said, "This is a spirit contract scroll. You will be the master, and she will be the servant. You will have complete control over her life. She won't betray you, and I will also keep an eye on her. I will not let her act wild." Han Lingshi did not ask where he got this scroll from. She nodded, and the young man taught her how to use the scroll. Then he went to the kitchen to cook a serving of pasta for the little one. Meanwhile, Han Lingshi sat across Yin Ye with a cold face. The latter could tell that the lady before her did not have any malice, but the aura was so cold that it made her shiver, and she thought, 'Oh god, what sort of demon couple did I meet? Please save me from this hell.' Hao Ren had shocked her when he killed the entire squad with ease. Then he confirmed her identity and everything else on just a call. Then here sat Han Lingshi, the business mogul and the demon with a gaze that could freeze her soul. She could not help but say, "Miss Han, you and Mister Hao, are a match made in heavens." Han Lingshi took a deep breath, she was happy with the complement but she did not want to show it on her face. She tossed the scroll in the air and said, "This is a spirit scroll. If you mark it with a drop of your blood, you will become my subordinate. Shall you ever try to harm me, or the people I care about, it would be your last day alive. Other than that, you have full freedom. In return, I will not bar you. If you need help, I will be there to support you. If you do not mind, then go ahead and sign the scroll with a drop of your blood. Otherwise, you are free to leave." Yin Ye was surprised to hear this. She was hesitant, after all who wanted to be a servant to anyone. Han Lingshi was gazing at her without blinking and raised her palm. The next moment, a snow flake condensed above her palm and the temperature of the room dropped. Yin Ye did not hesitate, she pricked her finger and dropped the blood on the contract. She could tell that these two people were different than the rest of the rich people, and the same time, they were scary as monsters. The contract was signed and Yin Ye could sense a connection in her mind. Just at that moment, Agni came out holding a big bowl of spaghetti and said, "Sister Ling, food." Han Lingshi smiled and patted her head gently as she said, "Miss Yin, I would like to see you at the Empress International office in the morning tomorrow. Dress appropriately." Yin Ye nodded quickly and bowed before leaving the place. This eviction was sudden but relieving. Han Lingshi looked at Hao Ren who was feeding Agni, and asked gently, "What do you plan to do next?" Hao Ren smiled and the young lady sighed, "Poor people." Now that the calamity had been averted, it was time to counter the master mind.
