pt slapping the bar, “This is fun! How many years has it been since someone had the nerve to scold me? Great, I’ll pay everyone’s tab today!”

“Thanks, Miss Dana!” Everyone raised their glasses in celebration.

“Enough of that!” Ian fumed, but it was at that moment that a suffocating force descended on the place.
The counter cracked as his gadget blew up, the pressure leaving him unable to even breathe.
He stared at Dana in disbelief.
That forced… it had come from her?

Nobody else reacted; he was the only one who felt that surge of strength.
He couldn’t even begin to fathom the level of strength she possessed.
Was she a Melder? A Limiteer? Or… an Explorer?

Dana drew even closer, “Know who I am, kiddo?”

It was only with blood dripping down the corner of his mouth that Ian realized he’d provoked someone powerful, “I- I don’t.”

Dana licked her lips as she burst into a seductive smile, “I’m the daughter of the captain of the Ordnance Mercenaries.”

Ian was first confused at first, but his expression quickly changed.
Everyone knew about the Ordnance Mercenaries amongst the higher echelons of the Great Yu Empire.
It wasn’t impressive at first glance, but the vice-captain of the group was Shamu, the captain of the Eighth Imperial Squadron.

He was in trouble.

……

A lot happened that night, but a lot could only happen at night.
Zenyu Star’s night life was quite luxurious.
Those with money and power, the strong, those seeking thrills, criminals and so on… Numerous people went out and participated in the capital’s glamorous nightlife.
However, it was amidst this glamor that there was a darkness never to be illuminated—that of the Zishan Residence.

The Residence was extremely vast and second only to the royal palace in height, casting a shadow of eternal darkness over the Zenyu Star.
This was how things had been for the past few centuries, but that darkness suddenly… lit up.

The dark residence seemed to burst into daytime as Lu Yin stepped in, drawing the attention of everyone nearby.
All attention was diverted from the plane contest in the hills as everyone glanced over, with the sole exception of Wukai Mathers.
All he wanted to do was win this competition and get Sicar to plead on his father’s behalf, and not even a fire in the royal palace would distract him from that goal.
On the other hand, Raas cursed.
Distracted by the residence, Wukai had been gone before he knew it.
He’d lost the round.

Within the Huo Family, Huo Xiaoling was right about to take little Xiaoxiao out when she saw the Zishan Residence light up.
She was shocked as the image of a man appeared in her mind, as well as a dagger that had been placed at her throat.
Lu Yin…

The bar had been shrouded in the Zishan shadow, so the residence lighting up drew everyone’s attention.
Most of the patrons headed out and gazed up at the lofty building that wasn’t far away.

“Isn’t that the Zishan Residence? It actually lit up.
Does that mean someone from the Zishan Family came back?”

“I heard it’s true.
There’s a young man whom His Imperial Majesty granted the title of Zishan King.”

Ian stared on frozen, Lu Yin’s image appearing in his mind.
That man had been able to rob him so easily, leaving him ridiculed by everyone in his academy.
He’d been mocked as the weakest leader in the school’s existence, all because of that bastard! If it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t be in such a difficult position as to come to a bar to get drunk.
If it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t have offended the Ordnance Mercenaries.
It was all that despicable bastard!

“So how shall we deal with you scolding me, kiddo?” Dana ignored the residence and focused her attention on Ian, who hung his head silently.
She snickered, “You’re entering the Ordnance Mercenaries from today, and you’ll be my personal servant.
You’ll cook and clean for me to make up for this.”

Ian opened his mouth with the intention to reject her, but in the face of danger, he could do nothing but agree.
It wasn’t like he could go back to school anyway.
There was nothing left for him in that place than ridicule.

Within the royal palace, The Undying Yushan glanced at the distant Zishan Residence with longing in his eyes, “If you were still alive, Brother, I’d charge into the Innerverse with you once more, and take my empire with me.”

The Zishan Residence’s re-opening resulted in happiness, sorrow, longing and anger.
None of these had nothing to do with Lu Yin for now, and he focused on his gadget.
A stranger was contacting him.
