"First brother! FInally! Where were you? I've been trying to contact you since yesterday," Hao Xuan grumbled.

"I'm sorry Ninth brother, things have been a little hectic."

Hao Xuan brows furrowed upon listening to the tone of his voice. Even though it was just audio, he could still clearly hear the weariness from First's voice.

"First brother, is everything okay?"

"Yeah...yeah, nothing I can't handle. I need you to do me a favor brother," First said gravely. He was quite hesitant to bring Hao Xuan into the mix but there was no choice anymore.

"Sure, anything."

"Go to Anya (First's wife) and ask for the "box". She'll give you a storage ring, bring it to me."

"Of course. I'll go pick it up right now. Where should I come to drop it off?"

"Nowhere. I need you to keep it on you. Within the next 24 hours you'll be getting orders from upstairs to officially join me, bring it then."

Hao Xuan's frown deepened.

'Why all the secrecy?'
