    Chapter 278

    After dragging Han Renjie underground, Su Hao snapped his neck, buried the body properly, then quietly left the area while recalling all of his summoned beasts.

    The entire attack had begun as suddenly as it ended.

    Apart from killing a handful of irrelevant summoned beasts, Su Hao's own summoned beasts accomplished very little on the surface. Their assault seemed almost random, as though they had simply come to stir up trouble before leaving.

    Only after confirming that every one of Bai Jingzhong's summoned beasts had withdrawn did the villa's security personnel finally breathe a sigh of relief.

    His summoned beasts were truly troublesome.

    Each possessed exceptional survivability and bizarre life-saving abilities, making it incredibly difficult to inflict any meaningful damage on them.

    What confused everyone, however, was Bai Jingzhong's summoning technique.

    His summoned beasts fought in an unusually scattered manner, almost as though no one was directing them at all. They acted independently, attacking whatever happened to be nearby instead of coordinating their assaults.

    Had they been properly commanded, the villa's losses would undoubtedly have been far worse.

    Someone couldn't help muttering,

    "In the end, he's still only a ten-year-old kid."

    "His summoned beasts are terrifying, but his command skills are obviously lacking. He's relying entirely on how powerful those summoned beasts are."

    At that moment, a puzzled voice suddenly rang out.

    "Has anyone seen the Young Master?"

    "Isn't he resting in his room?"

    "We've searched every room. He's not there."

    "Maybe he went outside?"

    "No. Nobody has left the villa."

    "Search again."

    "The Young Master likes hiding from us."

    "He might be playing another prank."

    Another person hesitated before speaking.

    "...Could it have something to do with the attack just now?"

    "Nonsense!"

    The others immediately dismissed the suggestion.

    The following morning, an explosive headline swept across every major news outlet.

    Breaking News — Two Finalists Dead, One Missing Before the All-Star Championship Finals!

    The accompanying report included photographs of Tang Haiyi's destroyed estate, Han Renjie's disappearance, and endless speculation from every media outlet.

    The entire world erupted into discussion.

    No one knew what had happened yesterday.

    For two members of the championship's final four to disappear within a single day was almost unprecedented.

    People were aware that before every All-Star Championship final, the remaining competitors often engaged in battles outside the arena.

    That was practically an open secret.

    But no one had expected things to escalate this far.

    Two people had disappeared in one day.

    One confirmed dead.

    One officially listed as missing.

    To everyone else...

    Missing was no different from dead.

    In previous years, there might occasionally be a casualty before the finals.

    Sometimes none.

    Sometimes one.

    But never two.

    This year's situation left everyone stunned.

    The reason was simple.

    Anyone capable of reaching the final four almost always possessed enormous backing.

    With the protection of powerful organizations, killing such people was incredibly difficult.

    Therefore, the battles before the finals usually served as probing attacks.

    If an opportunity to eliminate the opponent appeared, they would seize it.

    If not...

    They would simply settle everything inside the arena.

    This year, however...

    There was an unexpected variable.

    Bai Jingzhong.

    A civilian summoner with virtually no powerful background.

    Naturally, everyone assumed he would become the easiest target.

    Without the protection of a major organization, assassinating him before the finals should have been effortless.

    Yet reality unfolded in the exact opposite direction.

    Bai Jingzhong was alive and completely unharmed.

    The ones who died...

    Were the other finalists.

    No one could understand what had happened.


    ---

    None of those discussions concerned Su Hao.

    He was simply participating according to this world's rules.

    He had violated none of them.

    If others insisted on killing him...

    Then he had no objection to removing them first.

    His only regret was the lack of information.

    He still didn't know exactly which organizations stood behind these attacks.

    Without that information, there was nothing to eliminate.

    Nor was he willing to waste precious research time personally investigating every hidden force.

    To Su Hao...

    Those matters were secondary.

    Knowledge remained the only thing truly worth pursuing.

    If his enemies voluntarily appeared before him...

    He would quietly erase them from existence.

    If they never appeared again...

    That was even better.

    As for finalists dying before the championship...

    Even the finalists themselves had long accepted that possibility.

    Strength determined survival.

    Nothing more.


    ---

    At the moment, however...

    Su Hao had encountered an unexpected problem.

    No hotel in Shengshi City was willing to accommodate him anymore.

    He was now one of the finalists in the World Summoner All-Star Championship.

    If anyone attempted another assassination...

    The hotel could easily become collateral damage.

    No hotel owner wanted to shoulder that responsibility.

    "Should I stay at Molly's place?"

    The thought flashed through Su Hao's mind.

    He immediately dismissed it.

    During times like these...

    The farther he stayed from Sister Bai and the others, the better.

    Just as he was considering where to go next...

    Chen Qingsheng appeared with his usual warm smile.

    "Brother Jingzhong."

    "I figured you'd probably have trouble finding somewhere to stay."

    "So I came to see if I could help."

    He handed Su Hao a set of keys.

    "This villa is in the southern suburbs."

    "It's currently vacant."

    "If you don't mind, please stay there for the next few days."

    This time, Su Hao accepted without hesitation.

    He glanced at the address engraved on the keychain before smiling.

    "Let's make one thing clear."

    "If I accidentally destroy the place..."

    "I'm not paying for it."

    Chen Qingsheng laughed and waved his hand dismissively.

    "Come on."

    "It's only a house."

    "Compared to everything else, this is the cheapest thing we own."

    After a brief pause, he lowered his voice.

    "Brother Jingzhong..."

    "If you'd like..."

    "I can arrange some people to protect you."

    "No one will disturb you again."

    Su Hao naturally understood what that offer really meant.

    If he accepted their protection...

    He would effectively be acknowledging the Management Bureau's protection and formally aligning himself with them.

    The details could always be negotiated later.

    Su Hao simply smiled.

    "Not for now."

    "Don't worry."

    "No one can disturb me."

    Sometimes...

    Remaining mysterious made cooperation far easier.

    Distance always added value.

    Then, as though suddenly remembering something, he casually added,

    "By the way."

    "Sister Bai and the others are still staying with one of your department managers."

    "Please look after them."

    Chen Qingsheng nodded immediately.

    "Rest assured."

    "There are rules."

    "No one touches a summoner's family during this period."

    "If anyone crosses that line..."

    "They become everyone's enemy."

    "It doesn't matter whose side they're on."

    "We'll all eliminate them together."

    The meaning was obvious.

    The major organizations fought each other constantly.

    Assassinations.

    Power struggles.

    Political games.

    All of it was acceptable.

    But families were off-limits.

    Anyone who broke that unwritten rule would immediately become the common enemy of every major organization.

    To the great families, preserving that rule protected their own bloodlines.

    If someone became reckless enough to massacre relatives...

    Then no family could ever feel safe again.

    Nobody wanted that future.

    So everyone silently maintained that bottom line.

    Fight however you want.

    Compete however you want.

    But never overturn the table itself.

    Su Hao smiled faintly.

    "So..."

    "You people actually have principles."

    Chen Qingsheng laughed awkwardly.

    "Of course."

    "Not everyone is a summoner."

    "I'm just an ordinary person."

    "If the whole world descended into chaos..."

    "I wouldn't even dare leave my house."

    "Of course..."

    "Nothing is absolute."

    "Some people still break the rules in secret."

    "If they hide their tracks well..."

    "There's not much anyone can do."

    Patting the briefcase under his arm, he smiled.

    "Brother Jingzhong."

    "I won't disturb you any longer."

    "I wish you the best in the championship."

    After Chen Qingsheng left, Su Hao hailed a taxi and headed for the villa in the southern suburbs.

    Although Chen Qingsheng had casually referred to it as a "small villa"...

    It was anything but small.

    For ordinary people, owning a place like this would remain nothing more than a lifelong dream.

    After taking a brief look around, Su Hao found that the entire villa had already been cleaned spotless.

    The refrigerator was fully stocked with fresh ingredients.

    Everything was ready for someone to move in immediately.

    "Not bad..."

    "The only problem is..."

    "There's nobody here to cook."

    Calling Yashan back wasn't an option.

    He still needed to stay with Sister Bai and protect everyone.

    Su Hao walked upstairs.

    The moment he saw the enormous soft bed...

    An overwhelming wave of sleepiness washed over him.

    After setting up his usual warning measures, he lay down.

    Within moments...

    He was fast asleep.

    Rich people's beds...

    Really were different.
