Monarch Night

"Just dragging it out with a carriage like this, won’t it expose us?" Ye Meng felt a bit worried.

"It won’t. This old man has far more ways than us." Fang Che smiled.

The reason he didn’t follow was right here.

Sikong Dou’s methods were enough for Fang Che to trust completely. If such a small matter could expose Sikong Dou, the thief of the continent, then Fang Che felt Sikong Dou might as well find a piece of tofu and smash his head against it.

At night, Ye Meng and Zhao Ying’er went to bed for a night talk.

Fang Che was left alone in the empty room, tossing and turning.

He found a book and read until midnight.

Seeing the time was about right, he quietly opened the window, activated the Nightmare Divine Technique taught by Emperor Ye, and silently transformed into a wisp of green smoke, drifting out.

It’s been a long time since the Starlight Master came online to work.

If he doesn’t appear soon, Zhao Wushang and others might think he’s dead...

Worldwide Escort Agency’s Donghu State branch.

Brightly lit.

Zhao Wushang stared with bloodshot eyes, working with the energy of being injected with adrenaline.

Cleaning here, tidying there.

This isn’t right, that’s still lacking!

Over five hundred people, and he directed each of them to work tirelessly.

Since coming to Donghu State, Zhao Wushang hardly slept, building everything from scratch, starting from nothing; he truly felt the difficulties the Starlight Master faced in the past.

He brought people and endless wealth here.

Yet the beginning is unexpectedly difficult.

It’s really hard to imagine how the Starlight Master managed back then! Starting with bare hands, carving out an empire, standing firmly, lurking down, and still treading the path with such flair and righteousness.

Zhao Wushang acquired the premises, began networking with the Guardian Hall to get approval, and permission to operate; then recruited staff, and built the place...

The original setup was demolished and rebuilt, mimicking the White Cloud Continent World Escort Agency, and did it all from scratch.

Recruitment of receptionists, finance, warehouse, guides, route operators, internal affairs... everything.

Every day as he opens his eyes, a big group awaits to spend money.

Countless tasks flood his mind that must be completed today...

Numerous clients waiting for visits today, numerous peers waiting for him to smooth things over, numerous various institutions awaiting his response.

Blazing paths through mountains, building bridges over waters, burning incense at temples when seen... worshipping small gods and big deities alike.

Zhao Wushang truly experienced the hardship of starting a venture.

Until now, Zhao Wushang, a person like him, actually lost over twenty pounds in weight. A person who wasn’t fat to begin with became as thin as a stick, showing how utterly exhausted he was in heart and mind.

Now, seeing everything ready to go, just waiting to open, yet the Starlight Master hasn’t shown up, Zhao Wushang’s heart felt even more as if it were frying in oil.

The Squad Leader following Lord Yemo to become a deputy patrol, hopefully, wasn’t killed by Lord Yemo?

If not, why hasn’t there been any news, not even a whisper?

It’s very strange.

The night had become deep, Zhao Wushang was wide awake, continuing with the exercises.

Because the Starlight Master hadn’t appeared for a long time, now many of the escort heads and masters were secretly discussing...

Zhao Wushang knew very well that once such discussions formed, nothing except the Squad Leader’s personal appearance could suppress it.

So he kept watch day and night.

He sat at the hall entrance, his eyes on the bright moon in the sky.

In his heart, he only prayed: Leader, please don’t let anything happen to you!

He was very aware that if something truly happened to the Starlight Master, it wouldn’t just be the Worldwide Escort Agency’s deterrence that was lost, but the serious problem that the Worldwide Escort Agency would no longer exist!

Because if the Starlight Master wasn’t there, those stringent management conditions would inevitably be slowly breached. If anyone caused even a little trouble, it would lead to the Worldwide Escort Agency being entirely exposed—Demon!

This was a fatal problem!

While being eagerly watchful... suddenly, the moonlight blurred for a moment, as if something blocked it?

Then in his view, a figure appeared in the high sky.

Descending towards the ground below.

With eyes as cold as ice, indifferent to life and death, dictating over life with dominance.

A familiar rugged face appeared before him.

Zhao Wushang’s heart instantly stopped, overwhelming joy surged up.

Using all his control, he didn’t shout out the word ’Leader’, but his voice was already trembling: "Chief!"

The Starlight Master landed with a swoosh, looked around, and after a moment, said faintly: "Wushang, you’ve done well."

The simple six words filled Zhao Wushang’s heart with sudden happiness.

He felt that all he had done, the endless toil and hardship, were worth it.

"Thank you, Chief, for the compliment, it’s all thanks to your training."

"How does it feel going from nothing to something?"

"...The Chief is a Sacred person!"

The Starlight Master didn’t speak; he just lightly patted Zhao Wushang’s shoulder.

Zhao Wushang suddenly felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Yes, the Squad Leader understands this feeling best, so he understands me! He acknowledges me!

The Starlight Master also looked up, gazing at the bright moon in the sky, and said lightly: "Gather everyone."

"Immediately!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Wushang sprang out at once.

Upon hearing the Chief had arrived, everyone was taken aback; during this period when the Chief wasn’t around, life had been pretty easy for everyone.

Especially the new batch who just arrived, only having heard of it, never really experienced much of the Chief’s ruthlessness.

Now, the Chief had come.

Moreover, everyone felt that a sudden high pressure filled the air above the Escort Agency!

An inexplicable Evil Qi began to surge.
