The Master of Beasts

Chapter 998 - 354

The Law Enforcement Team only sent one person.

"Are you the Beast Master of Mountain City Dark Star?"

Lan Cheng looked incredulously at Chen Jiuge, could a Second Level Cultivator become Vajra?

Since when did Dark Star become so downtrodden?

"Lan Cheng, he’s mine!" Yun Yan reminded from the side.

"I know, Miss Yun, I won’t make things difficult for your people. I’m just surprised that someone with Second Level Cultivation could become Vajra!"

Chen Jiuge said with a bitter smile, "Sir, is it possible that he appointed me to the position of Beast Master just to find someone to take the blame?"

Lan Cheng said with some pity, "Well, you’re really quite unfortunate!"

"But the process still needs to be followed!"

"Since you are Vajra of Mountain City, no matter how you got this position, what’s yours is yours!"

"Miss Yun wants to take you away, we at Dark Star won’t stop her, but make sure you think it over. If you choose not to leave, the position of Beast Master is still yours!"

"Sorry, sir, during the previous internal chaos, it was Miss Yun who saved me!"

"I understand, so be it!" Lan Cheng didn’t pay much heed.

Yun Yan felt quite pleased upon hearing this. If Chen Jiuge had chosen to stay at Dark Star, she couldn’t do much either. After all, as strong as the Yun Family might be, it couldn’t possibly rival the whole of Dark Star. Of course, the Dark Star’s pie was too large, resources were surely not as concentrated as the Yun Family’s.

Lan Cheng’s handling was quite rough; after confirming that Mountain City Dark Star could barely operate, he left with most of the funds and Chong Yun.

Drunken Life and Dream Death’s Top Floor

"Phew phew phew"

Blowing at the hot tea in hand, Yun Yan said casually, "Dang Yue, have you confirmed your choices?"

"Already confirmed!" Dang Yue replied respectfully.

Since learning Yun Yan was from the Yun Family, Dang Yue’s attitude had changed dramatically, almost becoming Yun Yan’s sycophant.

"Good, arrange it as soon as possible. Since you’re no longer Vajra of Mountain City, make sure what you bring has no ties with Dark Star; otherwise, it will be troublesome, especially since the Dark Star in Dusk Main City is not comparable to Mountain City, easily causing problems."

"Understood, Miss Yun, I get it. After all these years, I’ve accumulated some savings!"

"That’s good then!"

"Chen Jiuge, what about you?"

"No problem!"

"Hmm, you’re different from Dang Yue, your Beast Taming Talent is outstanding. When we reach Dusk Main City, I’ll arrange a suitable place for you. Of course, how far you can grow depends on you alone, but I will discreetly support you with some resources, you mustn’t let me down!"

"Yes, miss!"

"Three days, three days later, gather here!"

"Yes!"

.......

Three days is tight, but Chen Jiuge had everything arranged beforehand. Besides, his roots in Mountain City were just as they were, allowing for thorough preparation.

Ten spots available, Chen Jiuge did not use them up.

Andrew, Han Kui, Zhuo Lin, and Leng She – Chen Jiuge brought only four people!

Leng She was already following him, so it wasn’t unexpected. Han Kui and Zhuo Lin were also dragged out of the mire by Chen Jiuge; their continued loyalty was understandable. The only surprise was Andrew.

"Isn’t this Grand Steward position good? Yet you are willing to leave it behind and follow me?" Chen Jiuge asked curiously.

Andrew chuckled bitterly, then replied solemnly, "Sir, though I’m not a good man, I understand gratitude. If it weren’t for your appearance, I would have been dealt with by Chong Yun at home. The so-called Grand Steward was just relying on you!"

"Hehe, alright then, as long as you perform earnestly, I will not mistreat my people!"

"Naturally, by the way, sir, Xi also wishes to follow you, do you..."

Seeing Andrew’s cautious demeanor, Chen Jiuge nodded slightly, "Ah, Xi, take him along then!"

With spots still available, bringing one more, Xi, was inconsequential!

"Thank you, sir, the Shadow Mage from before still hasn’t left."

"Hasn’t left?" Chen Jiuge was a bit surprised.

Earlier, Chen Jiuge had met the Shadow Mage Hei Yue but gave three days due to a change the following day, she stayed in Dusk Manor, and he hadn’t paid much attention to her.

"Interesting, let them come over!"

"Yes, sir!"

After bringing Hei Yue to the office, Andrew exited voluntarily, leaving the space to the two.

"You should be from the Assassination Association." Chen Jiuge said nonchalantly.

Hei Yue’s pupils shrank, her prepared plan completely thrown off course.

"I recall Dang Yue already revoked the bounty, there’s no reason for you to linger here."

"Want to go to Dusk Main City?"

"Yes!" In this situation, Hei Yue didn’t plan to hide; there’s no point.

"What can you bring me?" Chen Jiuge wasn’t concerned about Hei Yue’s origins; his team was too weak, having one more Fourth Level Shadow Mage was beneficial.

"For freedom!"

"Freedom?"

Chen Jiuge chuckled and shook his head, "Although I don’t know how the Assassination Association cultivates killers, I imagine it’s inhumane. But if you’re after freedom, moving from the Assassination Association to me, it’s essentially the same. Why should I help you?"

"It’s different!" Hei Yue frowned, "Compared to the precarious life at the Assassination Association, at least with you I can walk under the sun."

"The Yun family’s influence is vast, you have Miss Yun behind you; even if I leave the Assassination Association, I wouldn’t bring you much trouble."

"Moreover, I find you different; at least you don’t covet my beauty!"

Chen Jiuge gave a wry smile, "What can you bring me?"
