Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Butler Sheng!

"I-I... We, we--"

What are you, a ghost?

They saw the 9-stand Candle in his hand, wondering why they didn\'t see shadows or even a faint glow earlier to announce his presence.

Almost immediately, their feet began to wobble, feeling mighty heavy, unable to carry their weight.

Min Kai secretly cursed at Alice in his heart, wishing he hadn\'t followed her out.

Why?

Why did he happen to see her shadow leave the female sleeping quarters?

Dammit!

Butler Sheng narrowed his eyes, expressionlessly staring at the stuttering duo.

"It\'s late... Lights out."

The duo bidder frantically: "Yes. Yes. Yes... Lights out. Lights out."

Butler Sheng briefly stared at the dark hallway before focusing on them once more.

"Go... This is your final warning."

"Yes, yes..."

Lowering their heads, they dared not act smart or go another direction.

The duo went straight to their sleeping quarters.

And Butler Sheng, on the other hand, went straight to the front door.

The Grandmaster was back.

.

~Plop.

Alice practically dived into her bed, listening to her sleeping colleagues with an unprecedented fear in her heart.

What should she do? What should she do now?

Alice\'s heart constricted into a ball

She feared that her actions would get heard by the leader. In that case, wouldn\'t her impeccable reputation get tainted?

Roll left, roll right.

Alice rolled on her bed, finally looking at the ceiling unwillingly.

Curses!

Why did that nosy butler have to pass by during that time?

No way!

They\'re definitely doing something illegal here.

Illegal… Illegal…

Wait!... That\'s it!

Alice\'s eyes lit brightly the more she thought of things.

\'If I can gather evidence of their actions and prove that they are hiding something dastardly, then wouldn\'t the complaint these people make be void?\'

Yes!

Compared to her who becomes a hero, who would then believe or focus on these sinking Tian members?

But how could she be so sure that something evil was going on here?

Alice had always trusted her instincts.

These same instincts made her become one of the youngest genius doctors too.

So why would she not trust them?

.

Judging from the many strange guests that come in daily, as well as the many odd words she heard passing by, she was more or less sure of her thoughts.

Look at it!

Even their actions and rules seemed suspicious.

Alice looked at the ceiling, doing various calculations in mind.

\'The guard quarter is a good place to start gathering evidence... But it\'s too risky to enter. Their sleeping quarter is closer to ours... So even if the guards and the butter don\'t see me go in, one of the doctors and nurses might.\' She thought.

In that case, would it be better to start off in the arrogant brat\'s room instead?

Alice didn\'t know why they called him Grandmaster, assuming it was because of some skill and his arrogant nature.

As for the skill in question, she didn\'t care.

All she knew was that the brat was in control of all situations here.

\'There should be no guards looking at the security monitors. And from what I\'ve seen, the few guards they do have more or less go out frequently, leaving just Butler Sheng all alone to look after the estate. In that case, sneaking into the boy\'s room shouldn\'t be a problem. All I have to do is avoid the security cameras and sneak in.\'

Yes!

Alice\'s lips stretched out in a victorious grin.

And with a calmer mind, she folded her blanket over her head, going back to bed.

Soon, she would leave this god-forsaken place!

Lights out.

.

Like so, time flew by in a blink of an eye.

And before anyone knew it, an entire week had passed!

And just like Alice, many had long made plans, seeing their initial fruits of labor begin to bloom.

It was still mid-summer, and the weather was piping hot.

The beauties all had tie summer clothes on, exposing their long beautiful legs and colorful attire all across the scene.

The many glowing faces dazzled others, bringing a deep wave of attention to them.

However, for some people, they moved undetected like shadows in the crowd, bringing little to no attention to themselves.

Luxian International Airport.

A man in all black with dark sunglasses on his face, carrying a black suitcase, continuously mingled within the crowd, making his way to the exit point.

And though many didn\'t pay too much attention to him, those who did stumble upon his figure couldn\'t help marveling a bit.

What an intimidating man!

Their first instinct was never to provoke him.

Such a burnt and broad-shouldered man could probably strangle a chicken with nothing else but his thumbs.

The man followed the checkout procedures, spotting another man in black standing against a very ordinary vehicle.

"Drive. It\'s been a long flight."

"Yes, boss." The driver humbly.

The man leaned into his seat with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Has he taken up the mission?"

"Not yet, boss."

"Good." The man replied lazily. "I\'ll do it."

.

He got a personal call from Wei Kwo, raising the stakes to 2 times what was initially offered, all because his target is chummy with the Ghus, the Gias, and the Hous.

What was more bizarre was that even at his crumbling times, these powerful fires still offered him a going hand.

But why?

Wei Kwo told him that the boy should have something important that these families wanted.

Then, what could it be?

What was so threatening that made these prominent families fear for its exposure?

His goal was not only to kill the boy but also to seek out the file of incriminating pieces of evidence the boy had against these prominent families.

The man at the back took out a few documents, reading the information laid out before him with a thoughtful mind.

\'Dorian D. Tian... Just what are you hiding?\'
