Set Up

What was going on?

Sheng Yang was a little stunned. She quickly went to the bathroom and splashed some water on her face, forcing herself to calm down.

This method worked.

Then, she thought of a possibility and narrowed her eyes.

…

The next morning, Wolf Fang was meeting with the Heaven Secrets Sect. 28 billion was the price they offered after joining forces.

The current leader of the Heavenly Secrets Sect was an old man. He liked to be called ‘Little Tian.’

Some people said that he was in his 70s or 80s, while others said that he was already past 100. No one knew his true age.

The man was old and couldn’t fall asleep, so he woke up early and fetched Owl and the others for a meeting. It was only seven o’clock.

The group was drowsy-eyed, but Wolf Fang managed to pull himself together. His eyes were filled with tears as he yawned.

The old man stroked his beard and slowly stared at Wolf Fang opposite him. “Wolf Fang, you’re not taking good care of yourself. You already have so many scars on your face and body. Why aren’t you protecting yourself from the sun?”

He often used the Tong Yang cream that Soon had sent him previously. He had never used a skincare product better than Tong Yang cream.

“Old Man Tian…”

“Call me Little Tian.” The old man blew on his beard and glared at him. Lang Ya had no choice but to admit defeat. He had no choice. After all, the old man had forked out money to participate. This was his sugar daddy.

“L-Little Tian.” Faced with the arrogant old man in front of him, Wolf Fang spoke with difficulty. The flesh on his face twitched.

“Although the Heaven Secrets Sect has always had a good relationship with Owl, we have to settle accounts clearly! Consider the money that the Heaven Secrets Sect invested yesterday as a loan to you. You have to pay it back within three days!”

“What did you say?” Wolf Fang was stunned. He suddenly realized something, so much so that the scar on his face tightened, making him look even more terrifying. “Didn’t we agree that Owl is cooperating with the Heaven Secrets Sect? How did the money you forked up become a loan to us now?”

“Isn’t it only right to repay a debt?” Elder Tian rolled his eyes.

Only then did Wolf Fang realize that he had fallen into someone’s trap. His face was so dark and very scary. All the bones in his body creaked from anger.

The Heaven Secrets Sect had not betrayed Soon at all. Instead, they were on Soon’s side.

Old Man Tian was not afraid at all.

At this moment, the news on the black market had already spread. Owl had been set up by Heaven Secrets Sect, so it was very likely that Owl would not have the funds to continue fighting with Soon.

Old Master Tian also sent a message to Sheng Yang’s system. [Praise me, praise me.]

She could imagine the old man standing in front of her, sticking out his butt and asking for praise. The corners of Sheng Yang’s eyes twitched. She only took a glance before putting her phone back.

She didn’t have time now and was in a hurry to find someone.

…

Elder Tian knew Soon’s strength. 28 billion. If Soon wanted to surpass it, it would definitely be a matter of minutes.

However, Soon did not increase the price for a long time. Soon did not even go online.

What was Soon up to?

Elder Tian stroked his beard. He couldn’t see through Soon’s thoughts before, and it was the same now.

He didn’t tell Soon about his plans beforehand just to give her a ‘surprise.’ Could it be that he had done her a disservice?

The more Elder Tian thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He wanted to contact Soon, but he realized that he could not get through to Soon.

At this moment, a shocking piece of news came from the black market.

The hall master of the Hall of One Man’s Rule was dead!
