Thunk!

As a head rolled on the floor in front of Nan San, his body was truly scared stiff. He wanted to say that he knew nothing but he couldn't find any word to say.

Nan Hua looked at Nan San, her eyes were chilling cold. "I never said that you're allowed to send anyone to follow me."

"Miss, this… I…"

Slash! Thunk!

An arm dropped on the ground. Nan San was still standing stiffly as he felt a surge of pain and his eyes landed on his arm. Blood was dripping on the edge before he screamed loudly.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."

The hall was made to be sound proof because their training could be quite brutal at times. Thus, there was not even a single one of them who would be able to know about what had happened here.

Nan Hua looked at Nan San as her eyes glinted coldly. When she first defeated him, she had already thought of eliminating him because she couldn't be sure that he would want to stay under her.

Her eyes swept across the remaining dancers before her.

"If you wish to leave, you may leave."

The dancers stayed silent.

Even if they were dissatisfied with the way things were going, they wouldn't dare to really go. With Nan Hua here, they were absolutely sure that the moment they stepped out of the hall, they would die.

It was not even strange if Nan Hua ruled with iron fist.

"Fei Mao, send all the dancers out. As for you, Nan San, you'll be in charge of the underground prison from now." Nan Hua walked towards Nan San before she took out a needle and pierced it to his body, stopping the flow of the blood.

"Miss, thank you for sparing me."

Nan Hua looked at Nan San. "Each month, the poison will flare up. Fei Mao will give it to you as long as you don't betray me."

Nan San's body turned cold when he heard what Nan Hua said. He was absolutely sure that the poison referred to the one that was in the needle Nan Hua used to him. Right now, he knew that Nan Hua had the means to control them from the very beginning.

However, she didn't do so.

It was as if she wanted to see their attitude first before deciding whether they could be kept or not.

"There should be one, right?"

"Y…Yes!"

"Go now."

Nan San stumbled on the ground as he rushed back.

Nan Hua swept her gaze across the dancers. She had already done some investigation on them separately. Her eyes landed on one of them. "You'll be the new leader in this building but you have to take mission. From now on, you'll be called Nan Sun. Any objection?"

The woman, who was now named as Nan Sun, cupped her hands as sign that she understood. Even though she didn't know what she did to deserve this sudden promotion, she would not make the same mistake as Nan San.

"No, Miss."

"Good, go now."

"Yes!"

Swish!

All the dancers but the two apprentice had left. Nan Hua looked at Fei Mao. "Watch over this place for a while longer."

"Yes, Miss."

Nan Hua nodded then walked out.

On the other hand, Fei Mao felt sweat broke out on his back. He felt as if there was nothing that Nan Hua didn't know. Even though the information gathering organization branch was only sent here not long ago, it felt as if everything they did was laid bare in front of Nan Hua.

The feeling was scary.

It made one trembled even at the mere presence of Nan Hua.

Fei Mao silently swore to himself that he would have to do his best so that he would not be the one to be the receiving end of Nan Hua's wrath in the future.

Swish!

Nan Hua arrived in an inn and slipped into one of the VIP room. Inside the room was a teenager around the age of 17 years old. He was sipping tea as if it was the most normal thing to do.

When Nan Hua arrived, the youth took out several bamboo sticks.

"Good job, Cai Yao Shu."

"That is only natural, Miss." Cai Yao Shu, the youth whose father Nan Hua saved back then, smiled faintly. He looked like any other normal teenagers and easily entered Wind City when he received the order from Nan Hua through Fei Mao.

Even though he was surprised that he would be moved here, his father and sister supported him. In fact, it wouldn't be strange for him to be moved around in accordance to where he was needed.

"Have you appointed your successor in Heng Xing City?"

"He's still in training." Cai Yao Shu glanced at Nan Hua. Right now, Nan Hua was wearing black clothes, but it didn't stop him from being able to see her dark obsidian eyes. It was looking at him so clearly like the water on the sea.

"I see."

"Do you wish for me to stay here on long term, Miss?"

"No."

Nan Hua still needed Heng Xing City to be the center. However, she wanted them to build the road here as fast as possible. "Send message to Zhang Dan Shui to build road connecting Heng Xing City and Wind City. Time limit one year."

Cai Yao Shu nodded. He silently lit a candle for Zhang Dan Shui because he was sure that the young man would have to work hard to be able to realize it. For the past few months, Zhang Dan Shui was working until late at night tirelessly just to be able to rise his rank so that he had a say in decision.

It wouldn't take long before he succeeded in taking the first seat.

"Anything else, Miss?"

"Name list of all spies from Zhang Xu Kingdom and Wei Da Kingdom that you uncovered."

"Here, Miss."
