"Who exactly are you? Get out of my territory. If you leave, I can pretend this never happened."

A sinister male voice sounded behind Yang Yan.

"Hehe, you finally decided to speak?"

Yang Yan turned around, squinting slightly to examine the figure in front of him:

"However, I think you've got one thing wrong; this place is now my territory."

"If you can tell me the reason for staying here, I might allow you to remain. Otherwise..."

Yang Yan smiled broadly, enunciating each word:

"You better obediently get out!"

"No way!"

Upon hearing Yang Yan's words, the male voice finally showed some fluctuation:

"This place is mine, it is mine! Now and forever. No one can take it from me. No one!"

"Alright."

Yang Yan waved his hand, his tone becoming serious:

"While I still have the patience to sit down and talk to you properly, you better do the same."

"Otherwise, if things get physical, I can guarantee you'll be the one at a disadvantage."

As his words fell, the surroundings fell silent once more.

Yang Yan was very aware that no matter what kind of existence the figure opposite truly was, it should also have noticed his own extraordinariness by now.

Given that, as long as the other party isn't brain-addled, they likely won't take action without certainty.

Just as Yang Yan was contemplating how to handle this character, the figure opposite slowly solidified, but his appearance was still shrouded in mist, barely visible.

Looking at this obscured figure, Yang Yan also chuckled.

"That's better! Why can't we sit down and talk face-to-face properly, instead of making it like a horror movie?"

The man opposite ignored Yang Yan's teasing and asked in a deep voice:

"Who exactly are you?"

Yang Yan gazed intensely at the man, speaking lightly:

"Before asking who someone is, shouldn't you first introduce yourself?"

"Also, why are you making yourself so hazy? I can see you just fine; there's no need for that."

Upon hearing Yang Yan's words, the figure obviously paused for a moment, then his face slowly became clear.

"I'm Sebas, the third master of this house."

Yang Yan raised an eyebrow, gesturing for the other to continue:

"Tell me why you're staying here? You don't seem like someone who died unjustly."

"Waiting for someone!"

Sebas responded immediately without hesitation:

"I made a promise with her that one day she would return to find me. Once she comes, I'll leave."

At this point, Sebas appeared slightly agitated; not only did his voice tremble, but even his body began to shake.

"Huff!"

Upon hearing Sebas' explanation, Yang Yan exhaled heavily and then stood up, intending to leave.

Though such things are cliché, Yang Yan has experienced them before.

"In light of you've never harmed anyone, you can continue to stay in this villa."

"However, without my permission, I forbid you from appearing in front of anyone."

Yang Yan said slowly.

"Why? This is my house, and everything here should be my call!"

"Moreover, if I don't go out, I can't know if she's come."

Sebas said angrily.

"Why?"

Yang Yan let out a cold laugh, releasing his aura suddenly.

As he released his aura, Sebas' body jolted, falling straight to the ground.

"Is this reason enough?"

Yang Yan gazed intensely at the fallen Sebas, speaking coldly:

"If you must go out, there's no problem, but you need to act like a human."

"Stop being ghostly and scaring people day and night; it's just bothersome to see."

After saying this, Yang Yan didn't give Sebas a chance to speak further and directly went downstairs.

The construction workers were quick.

It was unclear if it was because Yang Yan promised more money for faster work, or if they were afraid and wanted to leave early.

In any case, their speed was indeed beyond imagination.

Normally, a task taking two or three hours was completed in under an hour.

"Yang, is the issue resolved?"

Dawn asked softly, seeing Yang Yan approach her.

"Yes! It's resolved."

Yang Yan smiled and nodded:

"It's not a troublesome matter, just a poor soul."

Dawn also relaxed and laughed:

"Hehe, does that mean the one inside is a good ghost?"

Yang Yan shook his head lightly, as if in reflection, saying:

"In this world, there's no absolute good or bad. Those things we merely judge ourselves."

"Alright, enough about that. How's your design coming along?"

"Now that the matter here is settled, you can accelerate the process. Ideally, move in within a week."

Dawn confidently patted her chest, saying proudly:

"Of course, I have no problems here. Once they clean the outer walls, hire more workers and it'll be done."

Seeing Dawn's confident appearance, Yang Yan, for some reason, suddenly thought of the late Sun.

This girl truly is his daughter!

This confident demeanor and way of speaking are so much like him.

While Yang Yan was lost in thought again, his phone unexpectedly rang from his pants pocket.

He glanced at it after pulling it out and frowned slightly.

Subtly, he moved to a place with no people and pressed the answer button.

"Jing Hong? What's going on?"

As the leader of his ten swords, Jing Hong barely called Yang Yan a few times.

No matter the matter, once entrusted to Jing Hong, it could always be done excellently.

This time, it was the first in years.

No need to ask, something big must have happened.

"There's some progress on that matter."

On the other end, Jing Hong's serious voice transmitted:

"But it's major. King, do you have time now?"

"If you do, let's meet at the villa and I'll report everything to you."

Upon hearing Jing Hong's words, Yang Yan's eyes squinted slightly.

He glanced over at Dawn and then spoke softly into the phone:

"Give me ten minutes; I'll head over shortly."

After hanging up, Yang Yan thought for a while and then called Zhou Hanyun.

He first explained what he was doing, told her he had urgent things to tend to, and asked her to come over and assist with moving Dawn into the villa.

After making arrangements, Yang Yan arrived next to Dawn.

"I have urgent matters to attend to. I've asked your Aunt Hanyun to come over, can you wait here for her?"
