The city lights started to glow as the evening breeze felt slightly cool.
"Old Li, what kind of person do you think Tie Xiong is?"
Master Han sat in the courtyard, holding a cigar, enjoying massages from two top-notch beauties, while casually asking Old Li.
"Tie Xiong, well..."
Old Li hesitated upon hearing the question: "Heâs always kept a straight face, revealing little emotion."
"Even when he walked into your estate, Master Wu, there was just a flicker of surprise in his eyes, followed by a return to his expressionless state."
"I feel that heâs not a simple person, likely having undergone special training."
"Otherwise, he wouldnât be able to hide his emotions so well..."
Master Han nodded uncertainly.
Then, his gaze shifted towards the Black Bear Spirit bodyguard, asking, "Tang Ke, what do you think?"
"Heâs definitely a killer!"
"And not just any killer, but one whoâs taken the lives of at least a hundred people!"
"Otherwise, the aura of blood and killing intent around him wouldnât be so intense!"
The Black Bear Spirit bodyguard replied gruffly.
"Why would an ace killer want to save my nephew?"
Master Han muttered to himself in confusion.
"By the way, do you think heâs really looking for his daughter?"
He asked the two of them.
"I think itâs false!"
Old Li shook his head and said, "I fear itâs a ploy to hide his true intentions, deliberately distracting us."
The Black Bear Spirit bodyguard agreed: "Someone as cold as an ace killer definitely wouldnât have feelings, let alone a daughter."
After hearing their words, Master Han nodded lightly.
"Alright, then you should help investigate his daughter."
"Also, have Peter Chen look into his background..."
After instructing the two, Master Han added, "Iâve invited an honored guest tomorrow, so be on your best behavior and donât make a fool out of me!"
"Yes, Master Wu!"
Old Li and the Black Bear Spirit bodyguard nodded in unison.
Meanwhile, Han Kai and Wu Lili were in Tie Xiongâs room.
"Brother Tie, donât worry!"
"Since my fifth uncle agreed, he will surely help you find your daughter."
Han Kai said with confidence.
Tie Xiong nodded, not saying much.
These past few days, he hadnât been able to contact the red-dressed girl who claimed to be the "Blood Spirit Master."
This made him feel both strange and worried.
What would he do if something happened to that red-dressed girl?
What exactly was that so-called "Blood Contract"?
Seeing his silence, Han Kai thought he was worried about his daughter.
"Looks like itâs time to change the topic..."
Han Kai thought for a moment, then grinned and said, "Brother Tie, youâre actually very nice, just a bit stern-looking."
"If you smiled more, youâd surely leave a better impression."
"Donât you think so, Lili?"
He nudged his girlfriend with his elbow.
"Um, um, um!"
Wu Lili was busy with her phone but nodded repeatedly upon feeling Han Kaiâs prompting.
Hearing this, Tie Xiong shook his head and said, "Itâs not that I donât want to smile, but when I do, itâs too fierce and scary!"
"Donât believe me, just look..."
With that, he forced a smile.
As he smiled, his facial muscles twitched, along with the scars on his face contorting.
It was more of a grimace than a smile!
Observing this smile up close, both Han Kai and Wu Lili went pale.
In their pupils, a hint of fear was evident.
Even though theyâd come to know Brother Tie as kind-hearted over these days,
they simply couldnât handle how menacing and ferocious his smile looked!
"Now you know, huh?"
"Itâs getting late, letâs call it a night!"
Seeing their reaction, Tie Xiong shook his head helplessly.
...
The next morning, after breakfast, Tie Xiong habitually returned to his room.
He took out the Evil Ghost statue, continuing to summon the "Blood Spirit Master."
Unfortunately, the statue remained unresponsive, leaving him very frustrated.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
At that moment, a knock came at the door.
Tie Xiong quickly stashed the Evil Ghost statue into his waist bag and got up to open the door.
"Brother Tie, my fifth uncle has invited an extraordinary person, want to come see?"
The one knocking was none other than Han Kai.
"What kind of extraordinary person?"
Tie Xiong was curious.
Han Kai laughed and replied, "According to my uncle, itâs someone who can wield spells!"
"Spells?"
Hearing this, Tie Xiong couldnât help but frown.
Besides that red-dressed girl, he hadnât encountered anyone else who could wield spells.
Could it be that this world, as the internet suggested, was on the cusp of a Spiritual Qi Revival?
After hesitating for a moment, Tie Xiong nodded and said, "Alright, letâs go take a look."
He wanted to see for himself what kind of spells this so-called "extraordinary person" could perform.
"Brother Tie, theyâre in the reception hall, we can head there now."
With Han Kai leading Wu Lili, they beckoned Tie Xiong to the estateâs reception hall.
At this moment, the reception hall was filled with more than a dozen people.
As Han Kai, Wu Lili, and Tie Xiong entered, the previously laughing and chatting crowd went silent.
Every gaze focused on Tie Xiong.
The reason was simple: Tie Xiongâs appearance and aura were too unique.
Coupled with the faint bloody aura he emitted, everyone was on high alert.
Master Han was momentarily startled before smiling and saying, "Younger Brother Tie is here? Please, have a seat!"
"Fifth Han, is this your guest?"
The speaker, seated to Master Hanâs right, appeared to be in his forties.
However, his appearance was lacking; pale complexion, heavy dark circles, and constant yawning, looking like a sickly ghost.
"Younger Brother Tie is my esteemed guest, staying here for a few days."
"Today, upon hearing that Master Weicai is visiting, he came especially to pay his respects."
As Master Han spoke, he motioned for Tie Xiong and the others to sit behind him.
"Our Master Han truly knows many people!"
After sizing up Tie Xiong, the sickly ghost said sardonically.
Master Han chuckled lightly at the remark, saying nothing more.
Seeing this, Tie Xiong thought to himself that this sickly ghost must be someone significant.
For Master Han to tolerate him like this, he mustnât be an ordinary figure.
"Tangka, say no more!"
At this moment, a middle-aged woman in a black suit suddenly spoke.
The womanâs status was evidently high; as she spoke, the sickly ghost immediately fell silent.
Master Han smiled and nodded to the middle-aged woman.
However, she remained expressionless, not even bothering to glance at Master Han.
But Master Han seemed to understand her disposition and chuckled nonchalantly.
He turned to Old Li standing beside him and said solemnly, "Everyoneâs here, go invite Master Weicai..."
