In the car, Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then took out his cellphone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang." The call was promptly answered, with a voice showing slight surprise.

"Huo Huade, are you in Ross City?" Jiang Chen asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Jiang, how did you know? Are you also in Ross City?"

Jiang Chen frowned slightly and spoke softly, "Come to the Jiuzhou Hotel tonight, I need to see you."

"The Jiuzhou Hotel? I'm here having dinner with friends at the Jiuzhou Hotel. Do you want to join us?" Huo Huade's cheerful laughter came through the receiver.

Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he replied in a deep voice, "Are you with people from the Fulang Family?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a faint voice came, "You guys go ahead, I'm going to the restroom...click..."

"Hello, Mr. Jiang, does the Fulang Family have some grudge against you?" Huo Huade obviously sensed something from Jiang Chen's tone and continued the call after stepping out of the room.

"Finish up with them quickly, then come see me in the Supreme No. 1 Suite!" Jiang Chen said in a low voice.

"Yes!" Huo Huade's tone became more serious as well.

Jiuzhou Hotel, Supreme No. 1 Presidential Suite.

Scar and Pu Minsung had already arrived, each with a thick dossier in hand.

"Scar, how is the situation with the Ge'er Family?" after the business talk was over, Jiang Chen smiled at Scar.

Scar grinned and said, "Mr. Jiang, I really admire you, to think that you managed to have Wu Yati take the fall for killing Ge'er Te, and the Holy Court warned us not to touch Wu Yati, this has kept the family completely from suspecting us."

"Good, as long as we're not exposed!" Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. If it was exposed that Ge'er Te was forced to his death by them, Scar's position in the Ge'er Family would be in jeopardy.

"Now the assets under Ge'er Te's name have been split into three parts, one part reclaimed by the family, one part has gone under my name, and another part taken by Ge'er Te's own younger brother, Ge'er Pushi!" Scar's expression turned a bit grave.

"Ge'er Pushi? Isn't that just making it easy for him?" Jiang Chen exclaimed in surprise.

Scar replied with a bitter smile, "I can't help it, my foundation in the family is indeed too weak, those who supported Ge'er Te went to support Ge'er Pushi after Ge'er Te's death!"

"Well… it doesn't matter. When it's time for the Ge'er Family heirship contest, I'll take some people over, and Pu Minsung, you come along too!" Jiang Chen said, frowning slightly and speaking helplessly.

"Yes!" Pu Minsung replied.

Ding dong!

The sound of the doorbell rang, and Wu Qingshuang, quite discerning, stood up to open the door.

"Good evening, I am looking for Mr. Jiang." Huo Huade spoke politely.

"Come in!" Jiang Chen called out, then turned to look at Scar and the other: "You two go and rest first, tomorrow afternoon we'll all go to the Wanguo Bank headquarters together."

"Yes!" Scar and the other responded, then stood up and left the room.

"Mr. Jiang." Huo Huade glanced at Scar and the other, then approached Jiang Chen and bowed respectfully.

After Scar and the other left, Wu Qingshuang closed the door.

"Sit!" Jiang Chen gestured towards the sofa, and Huo Huade obediently took a seat.

"Huo Huade, what were you discussing with the Fulang Family?" Jiang Chen asked, frowning.

Huo Huade replied gravely, "We were discussing some business matters. Mr. Jiang, has the Fulang Family offended you? If they have offended you, I will immediately cease cooperating with them."

"They haven't offended me, but… they are from the Dark Church!" Jiang Chen said in a low voice.

"What?!" Huo Huade exclaimed in shock, his face showing surprise as he stared at Jiang Chen, his brows tightly knit: "I see! Those bastards, they want to drag our Dark Night Angels down!"

"Dark Night Angels?!"

"You're from the Dark Night Angels?!"

Elder Ming and Wu Qingshuang both exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this.

Huo Huade was taken aback for a moment, glanced at the two Elder Ming, and looked at Jiang Chen with confusion.

Jiang Chen was also full of bewilderment, turning his head and looking at the two Elder Ming puzzledly, "What's the matter?"

"Is the, the young mistress all right? Is that old ghost still alive? Did he find the little mistress?" Elder Ming asked excitedly.

Huo Huade's face changed dramatically, suddenly thinking of something, his whole body shook violently, and he said excitedly, "Are you from Unchanging Valley?!"

"Yes, I am Elder Ming! And this is Qing Shuang!" Elder Ming introduced the two of them.

"The second young miss? Huo Huade has met the second young miss!" Huo Huade stood up full of surprise and bowed deeply to Wu Qingshuang.

Jiang Chen looked on dumbfounded at the three people, a flash of insight dawning in his mind.

He thought of how both the Dark Night Queen and the people from Unchanging Valley had inexplicably helped him and formed a conjecture in his heart!

"Are you from the same organization?" Jiang Chen stared straight into Elder Ming's eyes.

Elder Ming hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly, "Mr. Jiang, to what level has your strength in the Semi Venerable Realm reached?"

Hum!

Jiang Chen didn't speak, but instead, his aura burst forth suddenly.

A powerful and vast aura filled the entire hall, directly suppressing Elder Ming.

Elder Ming's face changed, and he opened his mouth elatedly, "Late stage of the Semi Venerable? You've reached the late stage of the Semi Venerable?"

"What?!"

"How is that possible? So quickly?"

Wu Qingshuang and Huo Huade exclaimed in shock.

Jiang Chen withdrew his aura, staring straight at Elder Ming.

"Good! Good! Good! Heaven blesses our clan! Heaven blesses our clan!" Elder Ming's eyes moistened as he got up, walked to the side, and suddenly shrank in height.

Thud!

Elder Ming directly knelt down before Jiang Chen.

Thud! Thud!

Two muffled sounds rang out simultaneously as Wu Qingshuang and Huo Huade also knelt before Jiang Chen.

"You..." Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly a glimmer of realization arose in his heart; the doubts that had been lingering in his mind were probably about to be unraveled!

"Elder Ming of the Shadow Clan, has seen Lord Xue!"

"Wu Qingshuang of the Shadow Clan, has seen Lord Xue!"

"Huo Huade of the Shadow Clan, the elder in charge of external affairs, has seen Lord Xue!"

The three Elder Ming knelt down and bowed to Jiang Chen in succession.

"The Shadow Clan?!!"

Jiang Chen exclaimed in shock, looking at the three people with astonishment.

"Yes, Lord Xue, we are members of the Shadow Clan," Elder Ming said respectfully.

"Stand up, make things clear, what exactly is going on? Why do you call me Lord Xue? Why have you split into domestic and foreign forces? You... why do you conceal the identity of the Shadow Clan?"

Jiang Chen threw out all the questions that had been perplexing him for a long time at once.

The three stood up and sat back on the sofa, and Elder Ming began solemnly, "Lord Xue, here's the thing..."

Elder Ming began to introduce the matter to Jiang Chen seriously.
