Beast Tamer: I can extract blood

"He's sending a message, did the boss stop him?"

Xingxia suddenly reminded her.

"Measure?"

"That's right, we misjudged him. This guy is a level two mage, and the message was probably sent to the person behind him!"

"It's alright, I was planning to resolve this once and for all anyway, I don't want any more trouble later!" Chen Jiuge didn't stop him. He had practically no foundation in the Yellow Springs Realm, and if the people behind Twilight Manor were too powerful, Chen Jiuge planned to give up.

Since Chen Jiuge had spoken, Xingxia didn't try to stop him, and her opinion of the boss rose significantly.

"Although his cultivation level is somewhat low, his mind is still very clear. No wonder he was able to earn such a large sum of money."

The Underworld is somewhat different from other worlds. It has the Ten Kings of Hell, and each rated city has a certain order within it. It is not too difficult for an ordinary person to become a tycoon through their business acumen.

Time passed slowly, and Deng Han was filled with anxiety.

"Who dares to cause trouble on my turf!"

A ferocious roar came from outside. The mad bear, which had been using its own blood and energy to restrain the three guards, glared and withdrew its blood and energy, forming a blood-red armor.

"Rumble"

The sound waves produced a crisp, colliding sound on the surface of the armor.

"Sound waves? It's actually that person!" Xingxia frowned slightly; this time, things might be a bit troublesome.

The person who entered the lobby was most striking for his long, dark green hair and his exceptionally arrogant face.

Looking at Chen Jiuge sitting above with his pale golden pupils, Wu Yan said with some disdain, "A mere level one brat, from a Guardian family?"

"Since when would a level four cultivator become a bodyguard for an ordinary person?"

"Executive Officer Wu, Mr. Chen, are customers of our Guardian House!" Cold Serpent's somewhat sinister voice rang out.

"What a disgrace to us cultivators!"

Wu Yan glanced at the three of them with disdain, then fixed his gaze on Chen Jiuge and said in a deep voice, "Kid, since you can afford to hire people from the Guardian Family, you must not be an ordinary person. Don't you know that I am the person behind Twilight Manor?"

The powerful aura made Chen Jiuge feel a tightness in his chest, even after Xingxia released her own aura to help him resist it.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Jiuge said in a deep voice, "This is my property, and I must take it back!"

Seeing the contract in Chen Jiuge's hand, Wu Yan's heart sank, and then he sneered, "The previous master of Twilight Manor did have a son, but that good-for-nothing was already dead when he ran away from home fifty years ago!"

"But your contract is real. I don't care where you got it from, Twilight Manor is mine now!"

Wu Yan's tone was firm, but his heart was breaking: "Damn it, why does this have to happen at this time?"

With a legally binding contract in place, Wu Yan has no way of continuing to forcibly occupy Twilight Manor. As long as Chen Jiuge finds a time to report the case to the Department of Government Affairs, he will have no choice but to hand over Twilight Manor.

As for finding an opportunity to secretly kill Chen Jiuge, with the three members of Kuang Xiong around, Wu Yan simply couldn't do it.

"Executive Officer Wu, this is something you can just talk about. Even you probably wouldn't want to be targeted by those guys in the Administrative Department!"

Seeing Wu Yan's unpredictable expression, Xingxia continued, "My boss said before he came that he doesn't like unnecessary complications and that he can use an extra sum of money to acquire Twilight Manor, but of course, it won't be at the original price!"

"Really?" Wu Yan asked Chen Jiuge.

"really!"

"One million in cash, and Twilight Manor is yours. I won't cause you any trouble, and everything in the manor is yours. I won't take anything with me!" Wu Yan demanded exorbitantly.

"One million to generate income?" Chen Jiuge's heart stirred. He could indeed afford this price, and if what Wu Yan said was true, it wouldn't be impossible.

"Executive Officer Wu, are you sure you're not joking?"

Xingxia continued in her cool voice, "The only valuable thing about Twilight Manor is its Twilight Wine, which only brings in 50,000 coins a year. It would take at least 20 years to earn 1 million coins."

"What's more, Executive Officer Wu has already appropriated thirty years' worth of profits from Twilight Manor!"

"I remember that if someone illegally takes over another person's property, any profits derived from it will be recovered!"

"Then how much do you want?" As the executive officer, Wu Yan was of course aware of this rule. The one million he asked for earlier was just a test, an attempt to raise an exorbitant amount.

"One hundred thousand!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Wu Yan refused without even thinking.

Xingxia stuck out her fragrant tongue and licked her rosy lips, saying, "I remember that Executive Officer Wu has been stuck at the level of Level Two Executive Officer for decades, always wanting to be promoted to Level One Executive Officer, right?"

"Although Twilight Manor is a cash cow, CEO Wu is probably more short of cash right now!"

Wu Yan then looked at Xingxia and said in a cold tone, "I didn't expect a guard to know this kind of information. It seems that your identity is not ordinary!"

"That's no trouble for Executive Officer Wu. I'm a law-abiding citizen!"

With a wave of his hand, Wu Yan erected a pure white barrier, shielding all outsiders. He looked at Chen Jiuge and said, "You're quite lucky to have found such a well-informed guard."

"Three hundred thousand in profits, and Twilight Manor is yours!"

"Five hundred thousand, I'll give you five hundred thousand. Officer Wu, you owe me a favor!" Chen Jiuge said decisively.

Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed twice and said, "Interesting, interesting! I didn't expect to misjudge you twice today!"

"Two hundred thousand in savings to buy a favor from me, that's really valuable!"

Under normal circumstances, Wu Yan would not care about the 200,000 yuan in profits, even though it was his salary for many years. But now he had no choice!
To obtain the status of a Level 1 Executive Officer, the required bribe is no small sum. He has spent most of the money he has earned over the years on honing his cultivation. Although there is some left over, it is not much. The extra 200,000 yuan in living money given by Chen Jiuge is very important!
"I agreed!"

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Yan agreed.

Even a hero can be brought down by a penny; money is truly important in the underworld.

After the transaction was completed, Wu Yan took Deng Han away directly, which was considered a small gesture to Chen Jiuge.

"Congratulations, boss! No, I should call you Master now!" Mad Bear said with a chuckle.

"Thanks to you all."

"I'll need your help to clean up the manor next. I don't want to have an accident just a few days after becoming the manor owner!" Chen Jiuge said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"This is natural!"

Twilight Manor had been controlled by Deng Han for thirty years, so his rule was naturally deeply entrenched, and those three level-three guards were his biggest accomplices and henchmen.

With the three men's military might as a deterrent, Deng Han could be considered the true local tyrant of Twilight Manor, having the final say on everything within the manor.

Twilight Manor is not just a simple estate; its main industry is Twilight Wine. To brew Twilight Wine, a large number of laborers are needed, and all of these laborers live in the back mountains of Twilight Manor.

In no time, everyone in Twilight Manor was cleared out by the guards led by Xingxia!

The Twilight Manor has approximately two hundred maids and guards, who are divided into two groups by Stardust.

"Those people on the right are fickle, but their strength is not bad. Those people on the left are not very strong, but they are relatively honest and law-abiding, and they are part of the group that is being bullied."

Xingxia is a very rare spiritual master who can see through people's hearts. Of course, she can only see through people with low cultivation levels and no special abilities.

However, despite the many present challenges, this ability has also provided Xingxia with a wealth of intelligence.

"What about those who have murderous intentions towards me?" Chen Jiuge asked, nodding slightly.

"Murderous intent?" Xingxia smiled and shook her head, saying, "They're just a group of unidentified vagrants. Although they have some strength, it's impossible for them to have any intention of killing you, boss!"

"Refugees? Not a single one of them is a formal citizen?" Chen Jiuge was somewhat incredulous.

"No, this is normal nowadays. In relatively private territories like Twilight Manor, only refugees can guarantee their loyalty. Some people even use slaves as guards!"

Although slaves and refugees have different names, their social status is not actually that different.

"I see? I understand!"

Chen Jiuge stepped forward, looked around, and said calmly, "I am the new owner of Twilight Manor, which means you will need to serve me from now on!"

"I don't have high demands, and I'm not a harsh person. As long as you do your job well, I won't do anything to you."

"What is your salary?"

After a long silence, one of the level-three guards who had been restrained by the Mad Bear stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "No salary!"

"No?"

Chen Jiuge looked at the person in astonishment, somewhat incredulous, and said, "Even you don't have any?"

"no!"

Chen Jiuge was speechless: "You're still working for him without pay?"

The guard gave a bitter smile: "He promised us that if we serve for a hundred years, he would give us official citizenship!"

Xingxia chuckled and asked, "Official citizen status?"

"Do you know what it takes for you refugees to become official citizens?"

"what?"

"The first thing you probably all know is that once you become a level four cultivator, you will automatically have the status of a level three citizen, which is the best path."

"However, given your qualifications..."

Xingxia didn't continue. Although the three people in front of her had become level three cultivators, their foundation and talent were too poor. It was obvious that they had been forcibly promoted by using some spiritual medicines. It wasn't that they had no chance of breaking through, but the price they would have to pay was much higher.

"The second thing is spending money!"

"With ten thousand dollars, you can buy a Level 1 citizenship from the Administrative Department!"

"what?"

The guard couldn't believe it.

"Hehe, there's no need to lie to you. The reason why the Department of Political Affairs has people from the four major powers together is because the profits are too great. Even the Ten Kings of Hell wouldn't dare to monopolize it."

"That makes it simple. A level one cultivator earns 5,000 a month, a level two cultivator earns 10,000, and a level three cultivator earns 50,000. There will also be bonuses for any extra contributions!"

They're talking about dead money, of course. Fifty thousand dead money is equivalent to five hundred live money, which is six thousand a year. As long as you can save it, a level three guard can get the chance to redeem himself in just a few years.

"really!"

"Of course, I'm not short of a little money!" Chen Jiuge said calmly.

"I am willing to serve the lord of the estate!"

With the first person's loyalty, the remaining two hundred people echoed loudly.

"That's about right!"

With no one else under his command, Chen Jiuge had no choice but to make do with them for the time being. As for Xingxia and the others, he had only employed them for a year, and they would leave after that. As for continuing to employ them...

Chen Jiuge gave a wry smile. It was too expensive; he couldn't afford it unless he found a new way to make money.

The issue of the loyalty of the guards at Twilight Manor was roughly resolved, and it was almost evening.

Looking up at the sky, Chen Jiuge said calmly, "Let's leave it at that for now. It's getting late, let's go and get some rest!"

"Whatever, we're just doing this for money!" Xingxia said indifferently.

"Thank you anyway!"

In this minor conflict, Xingxia provided significant assistance. Compared to Kuangxiong, who made a slight move, and Lengshe, who barely participated, Xingxia's intelligence and help in discerning good from evil within the manor were invaluable.

Led by a beautiful maid, Chen Jiuge arrived at a luxurious bedroom.

"Sir, this is Lord Deng's former residence. We have replaced everything inside; it's all new!"

"Well, let's get down!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The room was large, nearly a hundred square meters, with a black floor. Although the color was not very appealing and gave a feeling of oppression, the atmosphere it exuded was refreshing and clear-headed.

"These spirit trees even have the effect of calming the mind and focusing the spirit. How extravagant!"

This kind of spiritual wood is an extremely precious treasure in both the Heavenly Gift Realm and the True Realm, but in the Yellow Springs Realm, it is only suitable for use as flooring. That's really an exaggeration!

"Ok?"

Just as Chen Jiuge was about to take a good look at the scene, she suddenly saw a figure.

"who are you?"

She is a very beautiful woman. Her delicate face and her eyes, which are as bright as stars, make people want to explore her.

Especially now that this woman is weeping softly, it evokes a strong feeling of pity in one's heart.

Cai did not answer Chen Jiuge's question, and the tears in her eyes fell even faster.

From the maid who had come to tidy up earlier, Cai learned that the greasy middle-aged villain was finished, and now the entire Twilight Manor was in charge of this young man who looked to be only in his twenties.

But this makes no difference to Cai.

Walking up to Cai, Chen Jiuge looked her over and was stunned by her beauty. Then he frowned slightly and asked, "Are you a maid in the manor?"

Cai's clothes were very simple, even poor. A rough rag was crudely draped over her body, and she wore no jewelry. Instead, her small, uneasy hands had thick calluses of varying sizes, the result of long-term heavy labor.

"If you are a maid, please leave. I need to rest now!"

Cai looked at Chen Jiuge as if she had seen a ghost, then, remembering the maid's threat earlier, she shook her head frantically, comforting herself, "At least the person in front of me is better than Deng Han, isn't he?"

"I'm here to serve you, sir!" Cai said, somewhat ashamed.

"serve?"

Chen Jiuge shook her head and refused: "I don't need it, get out!"

"If you're afraid someone will make things difficult for you, just say it's my order!"

"grown ups."

Cai called out, somewhat unsure how to begin.

"Get out!" (End of Chapter)
