Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

~Bru-Bru-Bru-Bru-Bru-Bru~

The crowd watched the choppers vanish right before their very eyes with unwillingness in their eyes.

They would've very much liked to go down the mountain with that Divination Master.

And just when they were still thinking about it, a warning noise echoed out, reminding them of their predicaments.

~Awhouuuuu!

Everyone's eyes dilated in fear.

Were those wolves showing from miles away?

F***!

Without wasting time, everyone hastily dashed into the woods as if running a marathon.

"Get out of the way! I'm getting out of here before it's too late!"

"Cut! Hey! Who are you pushing? I also want to leave as well!"

"Me too! I want to get home!"

~Din. Din. Din. Din.~

Everyone ran like crazy in fear while looking over their shoulders from time to time.

In horror movies, it was the last group of people that always ended up getting picked one by one.

So no matter how tired they were, they continuously ran as fast as possible to avoid being last.

Luckily, they were descending Wuphil mountain, so compared to the long hours it took to hike up, things went very fast when running down.

And just like that, things could be said to have been finally concluded.

....

Like so, time flew by... and the Chopper carrying Dorian landed in a secluded area around the woods at the bottom of the Wuphil mountain.

~Thup!

They jumped off stealthily, and the paper-man quickly took off again.

Dorian squinted his eyes deeply.

He was still weak.

Had it been before, his paper-men could've been able to stay alive like puppets for months and months.

But now, he was finding it hard to keep them for several hours.

This was too weak!

They had to destroy the choppers before they were completely drained, and they had to do it far away from this region.

Luckily, there was a river across the other side of the city.

They should be able to make it just in time before shrinking back to their original forms.

With that, Dorian's group walked away from the mountain and headed to the hotel, where they deliberately booked a single room just to park the Limo.

Earlier on, they purposefully found a high-end hotel before taking a cab to set up the shed.

Now, stepping back into the hotel again, they checked out, got their Limo and took off.

And the moment they arrived at the estate, Butler Sheng opened the door for Dorian.

.

~Pup.

"Master. We have arrived."

"Hmm."

Dorian opened his eyes and stepped out calmly.

And as he walked, Butler Sheng took off his coat; Haru walked beside him silently, while Bewoh went to Park the vehicle.

And after Bewoh was done, he met with them in the house.

Everyone stood before their Master nervously.

"Tonight. You all have seen what my Tian family is all about.

Remember. You have only this week to think of your final answer.

I'm not going to sugarcoat anything for you.

The job we do is brutal, dangerous and life-threatening.

To put it simply, the monsters you met today were nothing, and the real ones are still in hiding!"

As Dorian spoke, the expressions on their faces grew paler by the second.

But they quickly shook off the emotions and steadied themselves again.

Yes. They were frightened.

But the only way to win is to grow stronger.

They wanted to be Tian family members, and this would not change!

A flash of satisfaction flicked through Dorian's eyes when he saw their subtle actions.

A firm heart was what he needed.

And highly loyal people typically had such qualities.

Almost all the servants and guards might've deserted his family, but he preferred it that way.

The ones who did remain were the perfect candidates for the job.

"What my Tian family does is dangerous and takes a lot of hard work.

But it's also rewarding and fulfilling.

So, should you choose to stay as members of my Tian family, then this is what you have to go through!"

Bewoh, Butler Sheng and Haru clenched their fists in determination before going down on bended knees.

"Master. We don't want to wait till the end of the week. We already thought about it earlier on, and we are willing!"

Dorian nodded: "Alright. Get up. I accept you all as official members of my Tian Family."

On hearing this, everyone jumped up, forgetting the pain from their many injuries.

"Thank you, Master."

Dorian looked at their wounds deeply

"Today, you 3 performed well, given that this was your first time on the job.

That said, there were too many areas and flaws in your executions that could've cost you 3 your lives.

Fortunately, this is just the beginning.

In future, I will guide you on what to do and study."

"Thank you, Master."

"Hmmm.

Alright. As per your injuries, we have no herbs for fast recovery.

Fortunately, I already cleansed all traces of demonic blood and toxins in you.

So for tonight, treat your injuries like any regular wounds and rest.

Because tomorrow, the real work begins.

Now go."

"Yes, Master."

With that, Dorian ascended the majestic stairs, leaving the trio below.

Everything seemed to have come to an end, but very far away in another city, an overly handsome man in wealthy night robes quickly opened his eyes swiftly.

His long eyelashes fluttered briefly, like a Prince awakening from slumber.

And after getting up, he calmly walked towards the massive window expressionlessly.

It's been a long time since someone annoyed him.

In truth, he didn't think anyone would dare.

Oh? He didn't mind playing for a while.

After all, he was getting a little bored recently.

But now, it looked like someone was trying to push his buttons.

So why not have a little fun?

The question now was: Who killed them?

The man squinted his eyes playfully: "Interesting."

~Whoosh!

In a flash, he was gone.
