Chen Yuqi looked at Li Yang, completely at a loss for words. She swallowed:
"Li Yang, um, can I treat you to a meal?"
Li Yang had to go home tonight to pack, move, and feed the cats, dogs, and the crow.
Very busy.
He glanced at his watch and said:
"Next time, I have something to do today."
Chen Yuqi quickly said:
"Then, how about we add each other on WeChat?
We're old classmates, and we don't even have each other's WeChat."
Li Yang nodded with a smile, took out his phone, added her on WeChat, and walked out of the Ai House Company.
Chen Yuqi hurriedly caught up:
"Li Yang, let me see you off."
The Ai House lobby was left with only the young man and Zhang Xiaohan.
It was the first time the young man understood a saying.
In the South Sea, fear not having enough money; in the Imperial Capital, fear not having enough power.
The tycoons in the South Sea were terrifying.
Giving away a 200,000 fuel card, gifting a 10 million luxury apartment—just like that.
The key thing is, these two people don't even have WeChat!
Giving money to a woman like Chen Yuqi, isn't it just for that thing in bed?
Yet, when Chen Yuqi offered herself, he refused.
What kind of divine person is this?!
The young man asked Zhang Xiaohan:
"That Li Yang... do you have Mr. Li's WeChat?"
Still in jealousy, Zhang Xiaohan gave the young man an annoyed look:
"No!"
With that, she stormed off.
...
The next day, South Sea Detai Building, conference room.
A cold and glamorous office lady in a tailored business suit sat in the main seat.
Her long hair laid on her shoulders, every strand exuding elegance.
Her deep eyes flickered slightly behind her glasses, each page she turned was filled with focus and strength.
Her female secretary carefully asked:
"President Su, do you need anything else?"
Today, President Su had said she would meet an important guest in the conference room.
That guest was very mysterious, and President Su didn't allow anyone to come to this floor.
Moreover... that guest was quite strange.
On the conference table were a pig's head, a whole chicken and duck, a fish, and steamed buns.
All fully cooked.
It seemed like some kind of... ritual ceremony.
Su Yutang pushed up her glasses and pointed at the curtains:
"Close them all, and also, turn off all the surveillance on this floor."
Tonight was the agreed meeting with Lord Death God and his apostles.
Everything had to be handled with care.
She had researched everything about Hell and the Death God. The apostles of the Death God must be demons.
Thus, she prepared offerings that demons might need as much as possible.
She even contemplated bringing in two virgins, having heard some demons are fond of them.
The moment that thought arose, she dismissed it.
She couldn't sacrifice two lives for such a thing.
Seeing that the secretary had closed all the curtains, Su Yutang said:
"Remember, no one is allowed here today."
The secretary nodded respectfully and left.
Su Yutang felt a bit excited inside as well.
After witnessing the greatness of the Death God last time, she became fascinated with this kind of supernatural power.
What kind of wonder are the apostles of the Death God?
How do they find and enter the conference room?
After waiting a long time, Su Yutang still hadn't met anyone.
She wasn't in a hurry.
Su Yutang sat at her seat, reviewing documents, sitting for an entire afternoon.
Until the moon rose against the dark sky and neon lights lit up the street, Su Yutang heard a knocking sound at the window.
Realizing something, Su Yutang immediately stood up and walked to the window.
Her heart thudded.
Pulling open the curtain, there was nothing, just a crow tapping on the window.
Su Yutang drew the curtain back and prepared to return to her seat.
At that moment, she heard the sound of dripping water.
Turning around, Su Yutang widened her eyes.
The glass was slowly melting, dripping to the floor, and the crow flew into the room.
Before she could react, the crow had already perched on the main table, staring at Su Yutang coldly:
"How daring you are, to blatantly lock me, the king, outside!"
Ever since it had once been the Bird Emperor of the Great Black Empire, it regarded itself as a king.
Hmm... a king whose nation had fallen into ruin.
Su Yutang looked at the crow in astonishment.
At this moment, the crow was entwined with a demon snake, which bared its fangs at Su Yutang with a sinister hiss.
Su Yutang gathered herself and quickly knelt on one knee, bowing her head respectfully:
"I have not seen the true form of the apostle, excuse my poor eyesight, I offer... my apologies to the king!"
Upon hearing the crow call itself king, Su Yutang immediately made connections.
Could this crow once have been a king in life, turned into a crow in Hell?
Or perhaps, this crow was inherently a king in Hell?
The crow looked at Su Yutang in surprise:
"What did you call me?!"
Someone called me king?
Someone... acknowledged my status as Black Dragon Emperor of the Great Black Empire!
Su Yutang trembled; did she call it wrong?
She quickly corrected herself:
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
The crow was elated by the title of Your Majesty and began to look at Su Yutang more kindly:
"Arise."
This female president, in front of the crow, was obedient like a little girl, standing beautifully in front of it.
The crow was satisfied:
"I am Black Dragon... Your Majesty.
I have come to proclaim the decree of my master, Lord Death God."
Su Yutang bowed her head:
"Please speak, Your Majesty."
The crow was overjoyed at being called Your Majesty repeatedly.
It laughed with its eyes:
"Don't be so restrained, Lord Death God just wants you to complete two trial tasks."
Su Yutang paused for a moment: "Trial tasks?"
The crow said:
"The trial tasks are to test your abilities.
You are very fortunate to be favored by Lord Death God.
As long as you complete the tasks, you will qualify to join the Demon Club, and be granted powers by Lord Death God."
A glint appeared in the crow's eyes:
"Extraordinary power!"
Su Yutang's body trembled.
The Demon Club, is it an Extraordinary Organization created by Lord Death God?
Joining the Demon Club grants one the powers of an Extraordinary!
Being an elite in high society, her desires were long dulled, rarely interested in anything.
The opportunity to gain extraordinary power made her feel the long-lost thrill of excitement!
The crow said:
"The first task, Lord Death God wants you to prepare a corpse, and place it in the North City Suburban Cemetery before midnight tomorrow.
Remember, it must be the fiercest, most evil corpse in life."
The North City Suburban Cemetery is not like the commercial cemeteries within the city, it's all earth graves.
Many villages surround the North City Suburbs, and the deceased from nearby towns are buried in the North City Suburban Cemetery.
The Yin Qi is strong there, perfect for creating undead.
Su Yutang noted it down, waiting for the crow to announce the second task.
The crow continued:
"In the South Sea, there is a man named Zhu Dajun, who was nearly killed when someone chased him down a few days ago."
Su Yutang looked at the crow in disbelief.
Zhu Dajun was chased? Nearly killed?
No wonder he hadn't shown up at the imperial banquet she held two days ago—he was in trouble.
Even she, the uncrowned king of the development zone, didn't know about Zhu Dajun being chased, yet Lord Death God did!
Is there anything Lord Death God doesn't know?
The crow continued:
"Within a week, you must uncover the truth behind Zhu Dajun's chase, and find out who is behind it."
Having heard about how Xiaohai protected Zhu Dajun, Li Yang was very interested in the bald assassin able to dodge bullets.
He wondered if that could be considered an Extraordinary.
