Chapter 632: Request
Seeing Old Master Wu's embarrassed expression, Yang Haoran's face broke into a smile.
“Don't worry, Old Wu, no matter what help you need, I'll provide it. But please wait a moment, I need to make a call to a friend first. ”
Old Master Wu's face filled with gratitude, and he hastily agreed. Yang Haoran, meanwhile, took out his phone and dialed Xu Meijing's number, giving her a detailed account of the Spirit Medium situation, reminding Xu Meijing to be careful and to make some preparations in advance if possible.
While on the call with Xu Meijing, Yang Haoran stopped Old Master Wu, who had tried to step away. After all, what he was discussing only concerned Spirit Mediums, so there was no need for Old Master Wu to withdraw. If Xu Meijing had brought up anything confidential on her own, then it wouldn't have been too late to ask Old Master Wu to leave.
Xu Meijing didn't mention anything else, because the information Yang Haoran had given her was already surprising enough; she had no other thoughts to spare for other matters.
Only after hanging up the phone did Yang Haoran turn his gaze back to Old Master Wu.
“Old Wu, whatever you need my help with, just say the word. ”
Since Yang Haoran had spoken so, Old Master Wu didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his request.
Yang Haoran had actually offered this to Old Master Wu previously, but at that time, Old Master Wu wasn't prepared to let his family enter this world, so he had refused.
Back then, he had insisted on entering this world because he wanted to take a gamble in his twilight years, to live a few more years. So, even though he knew the path would be dangerous, he still embarked on it.
As for why he didn't want his family to embark on this path, it was because he didn't want them to take such a risk. Once one stepped onto this path, they were no longer their own master; one careless mistake could send them plummeting into an abyss of eternal damnation. Thus, he felt it was better for his family to live ordinary lives. After all, the Wu family had a vast fortune and and could live very well in this world.
There was also a very important reason: Old Master Wu wasn't entirely trusting of Yang Haoran back then. If all his family members had the Death God Seal implanted, then everyone in the Wu family would be under Yang Haoran's control. Whether Yang Haoran would act unfavorably towards the Wu family was one thing, but he certainly couldn't take that risk.
It was precisely for these reasons that Old Master Wu had refused Yang Haoran then.
His change of heart now was because he felt it would be safer for his family members to possess some power. Tonight was a prime example; if his family had possessed a certain degree of power, they wouldn't have been completely helpless.
Furthermore, this world was about to undergo a drastic change. Who knew how many demons, monsters, and ghosts would emerge in the future? No one knew what this world would become then.
When that day arrived, the plight of ordinary people would become even more perilous. In the eyes of demons, monsters, and ghosts, ordinary people were no different from caged livestock, left to be slaughtered at will.
As for non-ordinary people, regardless of whether their chances of survival were high or low, at least they wouldn't be completely without the power to resist when facing these demons, monsters, and ghosts.
And most importantly, after several years of interaction, Old Master Wu had gained a deeper understanding of Yang Haoran. Although Yang Haoran was a pragmatist who pursued profit, he was quite good to his own people. Compared to when he first met Yang Haoran, he now trusted him deeply. He believed that even if all his family members had the Death God Seal implanted, Yang Haoran wouldn't use them to threaten him.
Furthermore, given Yang Haoran's status as an Emissary of Death, there was no need for him to threaten Old Master Wu; after all, there was no profit to be gained.
Therefore, considering these factors, Old Master Wu made his decision and requested Yang Haoran to also implant the Death God Seal in his family members.
Yang Haoran only thought for a moment about Old Master Wu's request before understanding his intentions.
“No problem. Anyway, I have to wait for the other Night Watchers to arrive before I can arrange things. I still have time now. Bring them to the study, and I'll implant the Death God Seal for them right away. ”
Yang Haoran readily agreed. Old Master Wu was initially delighted, but then he saw the bloodstains on Yang Haoran's body and remembered a very important issue.
“Boss, I see you're quite badly injured. It wouldn't be too late to implant the Death God Seal in my family members after your injuries have healed,” Old Master Wu said.
Yang Haoran waved his hand with a smile, saying, "Although my injuries are not light, my condition has improved somewhat after taking the Pharmacist's Medicine. Besides, we don't know when the chaos will erupt. It's better to implant the Death God Seal in them beforehand, just in case. ”
Seeing Yang Haoran's insistence, and given that his words weren't unreasonable, Old Master Wu no longer refused.
“Then I'll trouble you, boss. I'll bring them over to see you now. ”
Old Master Wu turned to leave, but Yang Haoran stopped him.
“Let me go down with you. They're injured and inconvenienced, so let's not make them move around any more. ”
Yang Haoran said with a smile, then stood up of his own accord and led Old Master Wu to the living room.
In the living room, Wu Senior and the others were still waiting. Apart from Wu Junior, the rest were quiet, only Wu Junior seemed a bit impatient.
The brothers' wounds had been treated by Feng Xiao, and their condition had improved significantly. Their previously pale faces now had some color restored.
However, the two brothers were still ordinary people after all. Having taken a gunshot, it was definitely unrealistic for them to recover in a short amount of time.
Yang Haoran and Old Master Wu's appearance immediately drew the attention of Wu Senior and the others. Apart from Wu Junior, everyone else quickly stood up.
Wu Junior didn't stand up immediately. One reason was his leg injury, which made standing inconvenient. The other was that he felt some resistance in his heart.
However, after Old Master Wu shot him a glare, Wu Junior still obediently rose from his seat, though his expression was rather unwilling.
“Heh heh, if you're not comfortable, just sit. It's fine,” Yang Haoran said with a chuckle.
Despite his words, none of Wu Senior and the others sat down. Only Wu Junior seemed eager, looking as if he was about to sit. But Old Master Wu shot him another glare, and he could only remain standing, his inner resistance now fully displayed on his face.
Seeing that they wouldn't sit, Yang Haoran could only smile and look at Old Master Wu.
“Let them sit. We're all on the same side; there's no need to be so formal. ”
Only after Yang Haoran spoke again did Old Master Wu signal for them to sit. This time, they didn't insist otherwise and returned to their seats. Wu Junior, of course, was the first to plop down.
“Tonight's events, I believe, have left a deep impression on you all. Old Wu is very concerned about your safety. To prevent you from being completely defenseless should you encounter such a situation again in the future, he hopes I can implant the Death God Seal in you. ”
Yang Haoran spoke to them with a smile on his face.
Wu Senior clearly knew what the Death God Seal was. Upon hearing Yang Haoran's words, his face immediately lit up with surprise and delight.
As for the others, their faces were filled with confusion; it seemed they didn't know what the Death God Seal truly represented.
“Heh heh, Death God Seal? Sounds quite intimidating. What in the world is that? What benefits does implanting this thing bring? ” Wu Junior sneered coldly, his expression somewhat disdainful as he asked.
As soon as he spoke, the scene instantly fell silent.
“Second Brother! Have you forgotten what I just told you? ” Wu Senior's expression immediately turned grim as he reminded him in a deep voice.
Reminded by Wu Senior, Wu Junior seemed to recall something, and an expression of fear immediately appeared on his face.
Wu Junior was actually still quite afraid of Yang Haoran, especially after Wu Senior's previous words had made him realize that Yang Haoran was not someone to be trifled with.
However, having waited for some time and with his leg injury, Wu Junior's temper had flared up again, which was why he dared to speak those words now.
Old Master Wu also wanted to scold Wu Junior, but Yang Haoran stopped him.
Yang Haoran looked at Wu Junior. Although he had a smile on his face, Wu Junior felt a chill creep into his heart under his gaze.
After only looking at Wu Junior for a few seconds, Wu Junior couldn't hold out much longer. His heart pounded, and the fear on his face intensified considerably.
However, Yang Haoran didn't do anything excessive to him. Instead, he smiled and explained, “Heh heh, the Death God Seal is a Power Seed. With it, you'll gain powers that ordinary people don't possess. Explaining it like this, you should understand, right? ”
