"Let's cut the chatter, just prepare a bit, then we head over to the cops and turn ourselves in. Aim to report to the Floating Island Prison in two days!"

Yun You said without hesitation, his eyes as determined as if he was saying, "I want to get into a prestigious university in Nest City."

Oh, the Floating Island Prison is also considered a "prestigious school" after all, since it's the Dragon Field...

"It's good that you're so proactive."

Old Jin twitched his lips but ultimately encouraged him, not wanting to dampen the young girl's spirit.

"Girl, you don't know; many of your senior brothers and sisters, once they became famous, they didn't want to personally engage in frontline activities anymore. They don't even want to go to the Lower City Area, spending their days strategizing in luxurious offices... but how can that be okay?"

"Sometimes, you still need to experience and train yourself more."

As he spoke, Old Jin rummaged in his pocket and pulled out a small electronic chip disguised as a hair clip.

"I had some regrets not preparing anything to protect you before, which put you in danger, so this time, remember to bring this thing with you."

He tossed the hair clip to Yun You.

"The Floating Island Prison doesn't inspect the belongings of an Apprentice Death God very strictly, so if you wear it, you'll definitely get in. It's called an Electronic Field Generator, which can automatically activate when you're in life-threatening danger, to block the enemy's attacks and simultaneously send a quantum signal to me."

"At that time, I'll rush to rescue you."

"But I still hope you won't have to use this because once I interfere, your mission will be over... If I, a High-tier Death God, were to forcibly break into prison, even the mayoral candidate I'm backing would lose all legality and support despite no matter how popular they are."

"Of course, that said, girl, your life is more important than all that, so use it when necessary and don't worry about other things. Opportunities can come again, but losing your life means losing all hope."

Old Jin spoke like a mother hen, nagging yet genuinely concerned for the young girl's matters.

"Got it, thank you, Master~"

Yun You smiled and nodded, examining the hair clip.

This piece was butterfly-shaped, entirely silver, and exquisitely crafted. Under the moonlight, it even glimmered with star-like specks of light. It indeed looked beautiful; if not removed and scanned with professional tools, outsiders would never perceive the complex internal structure it possessed.

The young girl didn't hesitate and pinned the hair clip to her temple.

"Alright, you can figure out the specific usage on your own later."

Old Jin waved his hand, speaking softly, "I have some matters to tend to, so I won't stay here any longer."

"Is Master busy?"

Yun You reined in his playful side and carefully observed Old Jin, realizing that the elderly man's forehead was full of wrinkles. It was unclear if they were from busyness... or worry.

Old Jin wasn't particularly old; Apprentices like him living three to four hundred years isn't an issue at all.

Even though he's a hundred, for a High-tier Death God, it's equivalent to being in his thirties or forties, and logically, he should be at his peak.

But he appeared very old, seemingly two hundred years old.

Aside from anxiety and worry, Yun You couldn't find any reason for him to appear so aged.

"One day, I will become Old Jin's support, and help Master realize his dreams."

Yun You murmured softly...

"..."

Old Jin was momentarily stunned, then a grin spread across his face.

"Just wait until you grow up to talk, squirt."

Once his words fell, Old Jin's figure disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace as he came and went without a sound.

"Phew..."

Looking at the remnants of his master's footsteps, Yun You let out a long breath.

No matter how you look at it, this incident could be considered done.

Although the process wasn't perfect, it had a beginning and an end.

Yun You turned around, casting his gaze towards the pitch-black industrial site and the luxurious building.

The difficult life of the past was over; it was time to step into a brand new future.

...

Half an hour later, on the 68th floor of the Tiger Heavy Industries Headquarters Building, in the boardroom office.

The place was luxuriously decorated, with furniture and chairs crafted from expensive natural yew wood, and the carpet underfoot was made of bear fur and wool from the Upper City animal farms.

The director's position faced the floor-to-ceiling window, from which one could easily overlook the entire mining area and even the view of the G District through the well-lit tempered glass.

Once, it belonged solely to Yang Lie.

But now, it was Yun You's.

Yun You sat in the genuine leather chair, examining a thick stack of documents in his hand.

Those were the company briefs of Tiger Heavy Industries.

Across from her sat two people.

Aurora and Frost Moon.

The former had been by Yun You's side almost the entire time, naturally knowing that the young girl would end up in this position.

But Frost Moon didn't... so it was hard for him to believe when he first saw Yun You sitting there and even inviting him to come up the building.

Wasn't it agreed to plead guilty... to face the judgment of the Death God Organization? How did he suddenly become the chairman...

Frost Moon was dizzy. Even if his brain was full of chips, he couldn't process it.

Yun You explained for quite a while, barely getting him to accept the outcome.

"So..."

Frost Moon fell silent for a moment before tentatively asking, "Boss Sister, do you want us to join the company and work with you?"

"Exactly."

Yun You closed the document and nodded lightly.

"I was a bit too ruthless before; among the mid-to-high management of Tiger Heavy Industries, most either died or were injured, and even those alive can't be used anymore."

"We need to recruit some newcomers, but loyalty is a significant issue with new recruits. I can't entrust everything to strangers."

"So I want to invite you as my partners because you're among the few people I can completely trust."

"Aurora can be my economist, president, and HR manager; Frost Moon might be a bit busier, acting as general manager, in charge of procurement, security, online operations, and crucial mining management."

Upon hearing this, Aurora shrugged silently.

She didn't have any complaints, as long as she decided to follow Yun You, she would obey the arrangements.

Frost Moon honestly had no objections either.

Although Yun You didn't mention the compensation, he knew Boss Sister would not mistreat him.

Being the general manager of Tiger Heavy Industries was surely more promising than being a personal hacker.

Moreover, Yun You had a rather laid-back personality, so working for her would certainly not limit his personal freedom.

However, Frost Moon hesitated because there were some things he truly didn't know how to do...

"No problem."

Yun You smiled, soothing him: "It's okay if you don't know, I don't know anything either; we can learn slowly later, we have plenty of time."

"I've already made up my mind, so don't refuse anymore."

"Also, the primary reason for gathering you today is to discuss the future development of this company."

She handed the company brief to the two.

"Should this company continue as before, providing low-end mineral supplies, or should it... expand into other areas?"

"Share your thoughts."
