Chapter 144

The mysterious man wearing a wide-brimmed hat stood up and courteously nodded at Jia De: "Mr. Jia De, if you do not mind, please allow me to recover the loss. After all, I am also Mr. An Dong's creditor. Just like a while ago, Mr. Phantom helped me win two million gold. Even though it will not be possible for me to help Mr. Phantom take back fifty Platinum Grimoires, I still believe that we will be able to give him the biggest compensation. If you do not mind, please bring Mr. Phantom to An Dong's mansion to rest for a while... no, that mansion now belongs to Mr. Titan."

"Of course, Mr. Chen. In the entire Tong Tian Tower, no one could doubt your unconditional fairness." The Fat Toad, Jia De, respectfully handed over the mortgage.

Facing the boy wearing a wide-brimmed hat, Jia De actually chose to put his trust in him without a single bit of hesitation.

The mysterious man named Mr. Chen, whose face couldn't be seen clearly due to his wide-brimmed hat continued to smile: "I will most likely need three hours. I ask Mr. Jia De and Mr. Phantom to patiently wait. In the next meeting, I hope to discuss with Mr. Phantom about the business of the Ore Mine. I believe that at that time, he would have already become the new owner of the Ore Mine..."

Jia De bowed a second time: "Thank you very much, Mr. Chen. With your help, all our problems are easily solved."

The mysterious Mr. Chen did not even look at the fainted fatty An Dong and confidently shrugged his shoulder, "I am very grateful to Mr. Phantom for making me Mr. An Dong's second-biggest creditor. In fact, doing this much only requires me to lift a single finger."

Yue Yang immediately grabbed back the five Platinum Grimoires.

Other matters were all left to the mysterious Mr. Chen to handle.

In Fatty An Dong's spacious and majestic mansion, he ate a satisfactory meal and rested for a while. Soon, the mysterious Mr. Chen and a serious-looking elder, as well as a fully smiling merchant entered. Outside the gate, a group of people not less than a hundred also knelt outside close together.

The Fat Toad, Jia De, now acted as if he was Yue Yang's spokesperson. On one hand, he welcomed the others, and on the other, he commanded An Dong's former beautiful maid to pour wine for the guests.

After exchanging one Lustrous Branch, two Wisdom Fruits, a bottle of Succubus Springwater, and a piece of fully ripe Hard-shelled Dragon Fruit for Two Martial Spirit Pill with Yue Yang, Mr. Chen left the place in a hurry.

As he also didn't have anything to do, he decided to visit his home.

But when he reached home, he found that the atmosphere was not good. He quickly made his way inside with Xiu'er. He was very surprised to see the scene inside.

Fourth Mother was clad in plain white mourning clothes as she was sitting inside. Wuhen was also sitting beside her and they both had sad expressions.

"What? What happened here? Fourth Mother, what happened?" He directly held Fourth mother's hand as he asked anxiously.

"San-er, when did you return...." Fourth Mother tried her best to not let tears appeared in her eyes.

"Mother, what happened? Please tell me." He didn't answer her and asked again.

"Your Fourth Uncle has passed away! "Fourth Mother sighed and closed her eyes as tears rolled down her pristine skin.

"What? " Yue Yang was shocked upon hearing the news. Isn't he healed after taking his pill, so how could it happen.

"San-er, don't think too much into it. Your Fourth Uncle and Miss Feng gave up willingly, it wasn't your fault." Fourth Mother was afraid that Yue Yang would start his wild guessing and feel guilty, hence she embraced him lightly and told him what happened. "When you were in the Prison Emperor Divine Palace, there were two Innates who brought your Fourth Uncle and Miss Feng here, threatening to kill them and Miss Feng's baby if we don't tell them the method of ascending the Heaven Stairway. The Heavenly Imperial Guardians from Da Xia and Tian Luo kingdom came to rescue them but to no avail because the duo was too strong. "

"Who are they?"

"I don't know but I heard that they were followers of the Dark Prison King, who was the Prison Emperor Divine General 6000 years ago. Only the Night Empress and Zhi Zun can fight him, but they could not return on time. I don't know much about the method of ascending to the Heaven Realm, but I do know that my sister once carved it onto a stone in the Valley of Butterflies... So I told them this secret in exchange for the wellness of your Fourth Uncle and Miss Feng. However, your Fourth Uncle and Miss Feng refused to give in to the Innate duo. Miss Feng had even cut open her own stomach to give birth to her daughter and passed away. Your Fourth Uncle then followed her shortly after... San-er, San-er, it's only us now, you Fourth Uncle is never coming back, he won't come back any more!" Fourth Mother embraced Yue Yang as she wept sorrowfully, her tears running down endlessly, causing Yue Yang's shoulders to become wet from the tears.

"Mother, why don't you tell me when you visited me?"

"San'er,..." Fourth mother wiped her tears as she said, "Because you have your own problems to deal with, and I... I don't want you to distract yourself."

Yue Yang signaled Xiu'er and Wuhen to take her to her room as she needed rest. He then went to the slave girls he bought to protect them but when he reached there he found that out three girls were missing and the others were covered in wounds.

When he inquired, he found that the other three died and they were only alive because Fourth mother stopped them. He didn't say anything as he got up to leave. But before leaving, he took out many pills to heal their wounds.

He directly went out to his hidden spot. He looked towards the sky as he gritted his teeth. If there were people present there, they could even hear his bones chattering.

He then opened his mouth and gave a powerful roar towards the sky which was strong enough to shook the entire.

But only the space up to two meters was destroyed, the rest was still alright but from the force of his roar, a barrier shattered into countless pieces.

When he looked behind, his eyes had already turned into thin slits with bright red color.

There were Xiu'er and Wuhen standing behind him. Xiu'er still had her normal look but Wuhen was definitely surprised by his roar. And when she looked into his eyes, a shiver run down her body directly to her soul.

But she then took huge steps and embraced him directly. At first, he was a little stunned but after feeling the familiar warmth, he calmed down.
