Chapter 284

As for what follows, Su Hao is no longer concerned. Since the failed assassination that day, it seems they’ve given up on killing him. For several days now, no one has troubled Su Hao.

Perhaps they are afraid, or maybe that assassination was just a matter of accountability for the deceased. On the third day, Chen Qingsheng appeared and told Su Hao not to worry about any actions from the Tang and Han families.

Indeed, a group of over forty people attempting assassination seemed like trivial actions to them. In the current situation, Su Hao considers the safety of Sister Bai and others, not wanting to escalate the situation unnecessarily.

If it were only Su Hao and Yashan, he wouldn’t be as concerned and would handle things more decisively. Chen Qingsheng’s purpose in coming goes beyond delivering this news; he soon reveals his main intention.

Chen Qingsheng straightforwardly says, “Brother Jingzhong, that last super-summoned beast you brought out is truly powerful. Do you have any plans to let us manage it for you? Rest assured, we’ll take care of your summoned beast properly!”

Su Hao laughs, “I have plenty of such summoned beasts, but some are beyond the usual standards and shouldn’t be taken out easily.”

Chen Qingsheng nods with a smile, “Of course, but if you have any conditions, feel free to mention them. We’ll do our best to meet your requests!”

Su Hao says, “I won’t mention conditions for now; I don’t have that intention at the moment, but it’s not absolute.”

Chen Qingsheng’s eyes light up, “What do you mean?”

Su Hao says, “Maybe I’ll change my mind in three years!”

Chen Qingsheng shows a pleased expression. No matter how many years pass, having the opportunity to obtain that special dog-headed towering ape summon is the best news. He says, “In that case, three years later, I’ll contact you to discuss a cooperation plan for that summon! As for your other summons…”

Su Hao interrupts, “Handling the paperwork for the other summons is simple. This afternoon, I’ll go with you to take care of it. I’ll entrust all of them to your management, and also the super Titan Behemoth I just obtained.”

Chen Qingsheng is delighted, and Su Hao smiles, “By the way, in a few months, I’ll have an even more advanced summoned beast. I’ll rely on you to take good care of it.”

“Even more advanced!”

Chen Qingsheng suppresses his excitement, “Don’t worry, that’s within the scope of our management duties.”

Su Hao says, “But it will require more technical expertise.”

“Technical expertise is not a problem!”

After establishing cooperation with the management agency, Su Hao leaves Sheshen City by plane the next day.

Destination: Yongxin City.

Seeing Su Hao safely return, Sister Bai and others celebrate with him. Late at night, Su Hao and Yashan find Sister Bai, and the three of them come to the rooftop of a tall building, overlooking the entire city.

The night wind blows, dispersing the day’s heat.

Tonight, Su Hao has something to say, and Sister Bai faintly senses it. She doesn’t know what emotions are in her heart.

Su Hao gets straight to the point, “Sister Bai, in a few days, I plan to go on a study trip with Jingyi. I don’t know when we’ll be back.”

“As expected…” Sister Bai’s heart tightens. She sighs deeply, not saying much.

Su Hao hands his phone number to Sister Bai, “This is mine and Jingyi’s phone numbers. We’ll be online every Sunday morning. If there’s anything, you can send a text or call us on Sundays.”

Sister Bai takes the note from Su Hao carefully and asks, “Will you come back in the future?”

Su Hao nods naturally, “Of course! During the Chinese New Year, Jingyi and I will be back. This place will always be my home.”

Sister Bai smiles, tears shimmering in her eyes. She softly says, “That’s good.”

The three of them remained silent, enjoying the cool breeze on the rooftop.

The next day, Su Hao visited Fu Leyi. After bidding farewell, he and Yashan went shopping in the city.

On the third day, Su Hao and Yashan each carried a large package and left.

Before leaving, Sister Bai hugged Su Hao and Yashan, whispering, “Take care of yourselves; safety comes first.”

As they walked away, Yashan seemed reluctant, frequently looking back.

Su Hao said, “Don’t look back. For the next two years, we’ll be living in the base outside Yongxin City; we won’t go far.”

Yashan, surprised, said, “I thought we were going on a long journey with this setup!”

Su Hao replied, “The long journey will come in a few years. For now, we need to be cautious to prevent anyone from targeting Sister Bai and others after we leave. We’ll show an apparent separation from the Morning Sun Courtyard, observe if anyone tries to cause trouble. If everything goes smoothly, then we’ll leave.”

Yashan understood and nodded, “Understood, Boss Jingzhong.”

Su Hao took out two fake IDs, handing one to Yashan, “This is your new ID. From now on, both of us will use the surname Jia. You’ll be Jia Yashan, and I’ll be Jia Wei. Got it?”

“Got it, Boss Wei!” Yashan took the ID, seeing fabricated information, even his face looking unattractive.

Staying in the Morning Sun Courtyard restricted Su Hao from bold experiments, making him miss the freedom of his previous experiment base. With just two or three people, they could do whatever they wanted without worrying about malicious intentions or accidental harm to many.

Su Hao and Yashan, after leaving the city, found a secluded corner, descended underground, and headed southwest. Su Hao’s original experimental base was just ten kilometers southwest outside Yongxin City.

It was initially a dedicated place for summoning secondary star beasts, and now it served as his exclusive base, named Yongxin Base by Su Hao.

After traveling a few kilometers underground, Su Hao and Yashan surfaced and quickly headed to Yongxin Base. In less than ten minutes, they reached the location, opened the disguised entrance, and entered the cave.

Under the effect of runes, the huge space inside the mountain lit up. Su Hao said to Yashan, “We’ll live here for the next two years. Later, I’ll apply the complete set of runes to give you flight capability for convenience. As for daily supplies, you can purchase them in the small towns around Yongxin City.”

After some thought, Su Hao added, “Also, didn’t you want to establish the ‘Rebels Butcher’ organization? Once you have the ability of ‘Life Perception,’ you can establish it anytime. At night, you can go ahead and pursue your grand cause.”

Yashan, full of enthusiasm, said, “Sure thing, Boss Wei!”

Overnight, the two little boys, Bai Jingzhong and Bai Jingyi, disappeared from everyone’s sight. The discussion about the All-Star Championship champion, Bai Jingzhong, gradually cooled. It’s believed that soon it would become a memory people were unwilling to revisit.

After multiple investigations, the Summoners Association confirmed that Bai Jingzhong, the All-Star champion, was the one who attempted to assassinate Senator Pan. However, lacking crucial evidence, they couldn’t officially file a case.

Symbolically, a person or two from the Pan family kept watch at Sister Bai’s Morning Sun Courtyard. However, they had no hope of regaining face from Bai Jingzhong. Whether they could find him or not, even if they did, would they dare to take action? The newly elected Pan Senator didn’t want to inexplicably die in his office.

The disappearance of Su Hao didn’t concern the management agency as long as his summoned beasts remained in their care. They were just business people, not interested in these messy affairs.

After setting up the base, Su Hao summoned three Transformers, muttering, “Next, continue evolving the Invisible Beast and quickly reach the Beginning Sovereign level.”

    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."
