    Chapter 284

    What happened afterward no longer concerned Su Hao.

    Ever since the assassination attempt failed that day, everything had suddenly gone quiet.

    For several days, no one came looking for trouble.

    Perhaps they had become afraid.

    Or perhaps the assassination had merely been carried out to give an explanation to the families of the dead.

    On the third day, Chen Qinghua came to visit Su Hao and told him not to worry about retaliation from the Tang and Han families.

    To people like them, sacrificing more than forty assassins was nothing more than a minor loss.

    Since Sister Bai and the others were still in Yongxin City, Su Hao also had no intention of escalating matters further.

    If it had only been him and Yashan, he would have handled things much more decisively.

    Of course, Chen Qinghua had not come merely to deliver that message.

    He soon revealed his true purpose.

    "Brother Jingzhong," he said with a smile, "that last super summoned beast you revealed was truly extraordinary. Have you considered placing it under our management? Don't worry—we'll take excellent care of it."

    Su Hao laughed.

    "I have quite a few summoned beasts like that. Some of them are simply too special. They're not suitable to be revealed yet."

    Chen Qinghua nodded.

    "Of course. If you have any requirements, just tell us. We'll do everything we can to satisfy them."

    Su Hao shook his head.

    "Not for now. I don't have that intention at the moment... though that doesn't mean I never will."

    Chen Qinghua's eyes immediately lit up.

    "What do you mean?"

    Su Hao smiled.

    "Perhaps... I'll change my mind in three years."

    Chen Qinghua couldn't hide the delight on his face.

    Three years wasn't long.

    As long as there was hope of obtaining that extraordinary dog-headed giant ape summoned beast, it was worth waiting.

    "Then it's settled," Chen Qinghua said happily. "Three years from now, we'll discuss a cooperation plan regarding that summoned beast."

    He paused before continuing.

    "What about your other summoned beasts?"

    Su Hao replied,

    "Those are simple enough. This afternoon I'll go with you and complete all the management procedures."

    "I'll entrust all of them to your agency."

    "Including the Titan Behemoth I just obtained."

    Chen Qinghua was overjoyed.

    Su Hao continued,

    "Also, in a few months I'll have an even more advanced summoned beast."

    "I'll be relying on your people to take good care of it."

    "An even more advanced one?"

    Chen Qinghua's breathing became noticeably heavier.

    "Don't worry."

    "That's exactly what we're here for."

    After finalizing the cooperation with the Management Agency, Su Hao boarded a plane the following day.

    His destination—

    Yongxin City.

    ...

    When Sister Bai saw Su Hao return safely, everyone at Morning Sun Courtyard celebrated together.

    Late that night, Su Hao and Yashan invited Sister Bai up to the rooftop.

    The cool night breeze swept away the lingering heat of the day.

    Standing there overlooking the lights of Yongxin City, Sister Bai vaguely sensed that Su Hao had something important to say.

    Su Hao didn't beat around the bush.

    "Sister Bai."

    "In a few days, Jingyi and I will be leaving to continue our studies."

    "I'm not sure when we'll return."

    She had already guessed as much.

    Her heart tightened slightly.

    After a long silence, she simply sighed.

    "I understand."

    Su Hao handed her a small slip of paper.

    "Our phone numbers."

    "We'll turn our phones on every Sunday morning."

    "If anything happens, send us a message or give us a call then."

    Sister Bai carefully folded the paper and put it away.

    After hesitating for a moment, she softly asked,

    "Will you... come back?"

    Su Hao smiled naturally.

    "Of course."

    "Jingyi and I will definitely come back during the New Year."

    "This place will always be our home."

    Tears shimmered in Sister Bai's eyes.

    She smiled gently.

    "That's good."

    None of them spoke again.

    They simply stood together on the rooftop, quietly enjoying the cool night breeze.

    ...

    The following day, Su Hao visited Fu Leyi to say goodbye.

    Afterward, he and Yashan spent an entire day shopping throughout the city.

    On the third day, each of them carried a large backpack and quietly left Morning Sun Courtyard.

    Before they departed, Sister Bai hugged them both tightly.

    "Take care of yourselves."

    "Nothing is more important than coming home safely."

    Yashan kept turning around as they walked away.

    His reluctance was obvious.

    Su Hao said calmly,

    "Stop looking back."

    "For the next two years we'll still be living outside Yongxin City."

    "We're not actually going far."

    Yashan blinked.

    "I thought we were setting off on a long journey."

    Su Hao shook his head.

    "That will come later."

    "For now, we need to make everyone believe we've completely left Morning Sun Courtyard."

    "We'll watch from the shadows for a while."

    "If no one targets Sister Bai or the others..."

    "Then we'll truly leave."

    Yashan immediately understood.

    "I get it, Boss Wei."

    Su Hao took out two forged identity cards.

    He handed one to Yashan.

    "From today onward..."

    "We'll both use the surname Jia."

    "You're Jia Yashan."

    "I'm Jia Wei."

    "Remember that."

    Yashan nodded.

    "Understood, Boss Wei."

    Looking at the photo on the forged ID, even he felt the face looked deliberately ordinary.

    Remaining at Morning Sun Courtyard had always limited Su Hao's research.

    He missed the complete freedom of his previous laboratory.

    With only himself and Yashan present, they could conduct any experiment they wished without worrying about involving innocent people.

    After leaving the city, the two found a secluded place and descended underground.

    They headed southwest.

    About ten kilometers outside Yongxin City lay Su Hao's original experimental base.

    It had once been used exclusively for summoning beasts from the Secondary Star.

    Now...

    It had become his personal laboratory.

    Su Hao officially named it—

    Yongxin Base.

    After travelling several kilometres underground, the two emerged from beneath the earth and quickly reached the concealed entrance.

    The camouflage opened.

    The two stepped inside.

    As Su Hao activated the runes, the vast underground cavern gradually lit up.

    Looking around, he said,

    "We'll be living here for the next two years."

    "I'll complete the full set of runes for you later so you'll be able to fly."

    "It'll make moving around much more convenient."

    "As for supplies..."

    "You can buy them from the nearby towns around Yongxin City."

    After thinking for a moment, he added,

    "Didn't you always want to establish the Rebel Butcher organization?"

    "Once you've mastered Life Perception, you can start whenever you like."

    "At night, you can go carry out your grand plans."

    Yashan's eyes immediately lit up.

    "Leave it to me, Boss Wei!"

    ...

    From that day onward...

    The two boys, Bai Jingzhong and Bai Jingyi, completely disappeared from public view.

    The excitement surrounding the World Summoner All-Star Champion gradually faded.

    Before long...

    It became little more than a memory.

    The Summoner Association conducted repeated investigations.

    Although they strongly suspected that Bai Jingzhong had been responsible for Senator Pan Fengxuan's assassination...

    They never found any conclusive evidence.

    Unable to prove anything, the case remained unresolved.

    The Pan family still stationed a few people near Morning Sun Courtyard.

    Not because they believed they could recover their dignity.

    But simply to keep watch.

    Even if Bai Jingzhong truly appeared...

    Would they really dare make a move?

    After all...

    The newly elected Senator Pan had no desire to end up mysteriously dead inside his own office.

    As for the Management Agency...

    They cared even less.

    As long as Su Hao's summoned beasts remained under their management...

    Everything else was merely someone else's problem.

    They were interested in business.

    Not political feuds.

    ...

    After settling into Yongxin Base, Su Hao summoned the three Transformers.

    Looking at them, he quietly muttered,

    "Next..."

    "It's time to continue their evolution."

    "As quickly as possible..."

    "I need one of them to reach the level of the Genesis Sovereign."
