Chapter 184: Thorn In The Rose.

Hao Ren stood in the alley, and waited for the sky to turn dark. This place was bustling with activity. To avoid alerting the enemy, he had to hide and strike when he had a clean shot. This alley provided him with a proper cover.

No one would associate someone dressed like him to be linked with the wisp that stood across the door. The car was his tool to create a deception. Super cars were admired by all the males, and the females held a curious mindset towards these males who would splurge so much.

The car will hold the attention of the people while Hao Ren went about his work. After a few minutes the sky began to dim and Hao Ren climbed the fire exit ladder and then made his way to the sixth floor, just one below where Night lived. Looking through the Yin and Yang eyes, Hao Ren detected a spiritual barrier spread around the house.

Night made sure to keep everything away from his territory. Inside the barrier, Hao Ren could see a lot of blue specks floating around. He was sure that these were the spirits that Night had captured. The spiritual barrier seemed to be serving another purpose as a cage.

If Hao Ren was to enter this place, he would alert Night for sure. Another way for him to handle this was to use multiple Yang talismans. He browsed through the system mall and after a few minutes, he bought a peach wood yang sword. This sword was worth five spirit stones, but it was much more effective than the simple one spirit stone worth Yang energy talismans.

The Yang energy talisman would handle lesser ghosts, but if it was a vengeful spirit then Hao Ren would need something bigger, however, one peach sword could be used three times and it could take down bigger vengeful spirits, and the lesser ghosts would be killed as a by product.

Lesser Ghosts were entities that could not do much harm but siphon off the vital energy of a person, while the Vengeful spirits could do physical harm as well. Night was a necromancer or a ghost cultivator. If he had any corpse puppets, then phoenix flames would deal with them.

After carefully weighing the odds, Hao Ren moved upstairs on the side and channeled the spiritual energy in the peach wood sword. The sword was just as big as a palm, but as soon as it was channeled with spiritual energy, it began to shiver, and levitate over Hao Ren's hand. The young man turned his hand in the direction where the most concentrated yin energy could be found and said, "Go!"

The peach sword went through the barrier. It was nowhere close to being as strong as the one Hao Ren faced in the Naga Tomb. The peach sword went through and shortly after a scream rang out.

"Argghhh! Who is it?!"

Hao Ren quickly climbed the stairs and rushed in through the open window. He sniffed the air filled with a burnt aroma in the void, and a few moments later, the peach sword appeared in the void before him. Using his Yin and Yang eyes, Hao Ren found the place where the Yin energy was located.

It was significantly lesser than before but Hao Ren did not wish to take any risk and channeled the energy in the peach sword once more before he approached one more time. The person let out another horrific scream, and this time the young man walked out inside the bedroom.

He found a man sitting inside a hexagram. His face was pale and his mouth was stained with dark red blood. It did not look like red blood at all, it seemed to be tar. Hao Ren looked around, and asked, "I apologize, did I come over while you were in the middle of something important?"

The man was having a hard time breathing, how could he talk to Hao Ren. He was a cultivator, and still managed to keep his emotions under control. However, the young man before him took off his hoodie and smiled as he said, "Hello Mister Night, the necromancer."

Night was shocked because he had a picture of Hao Ren and knew who this guy was. What shocked him was the fact that his target was right before him and even managed to injure him so severely. Hao Ren was just a child compared to him, however, here they were.

Hao Ren let out a sigh of relief and said, "I was worried if you had any corpse puppets, but it saves me time. Well, you can vanish now."

That said, he blew a breath of phoenix flames on the person and reduced him to ashes. He did not wish to talk much to this person. Night had been living in this place because a young lady was raped and murdered in this house by Damon Rose. This place was filled with resentment and yin energy.

So even if he died, it did not matter to anyone. Hao Ren checked the house using his Yin and Yang eyes, and left after confirming nothing was wrong. The power of the phoenix flames was so strong that it even burned Night's soul directly.

Phoenix flames were strong Yang energy and it fought the Yin element with an almost religious passion. The only way to contain it was equally powerful Yin energy and Night was not even close to that.

Hao Ren left the house the same way he had come, and got in the car. Xiao Mei said, "Boss, how will you handle the Rose Family?"

Hao Ren said, "Have all the family members assemble in the castle."

Xiao Mei asked, "What will that do?"

Hao Ren shook his head and replied, "They won't but I will."

Xiao Mei replied, "They will all gather by the noon tomorrow at the latest."

Hao Ren nodded and agreed with the arrangement, then he made his way to the famous malls and began to shop for Han Lingshi. He called Eden and told her to be ready tomorrow. The girl was confused but she said yes to him. The young man before her had bought out a lot of evidence and thus she would not give up in him.

Hao Ren finished the night and then went to the hotel and spend the night cultivating. He had not cultivated in the past few nights. Xiao Mei was supervising the business so the company did not need him to be present all the time.

In the morning, Hao Ren finished his breakfast in his room, and said, "Xiao Mei, send the DNA reports to the media houses and set them on fire. I want all the big media houses in one of the halls in this hotel by noon."

Xiao Mei acknowledged and then she also booked a cab for Eden to meet Hao Ren near the tailor shop where he was going to give his measurements. From what he knew of Rose, she was a dedicated girl and was studying in the high school and the teachers had great impression of her.

At the same time she was working to support her education, and recently she lost her mother. The police did not take action even when they had proper evidence, and not just that, they even destroyed evidence to support Damon Rose.

This was going to set fire to the entire Stag Nation and also to the world. What will happen in this case, Hao Ren will get revenge and the Rose family will get a new leader.

The process was seamlessly organized with Xiao Mei without a single gap or loophole. It was done in such a way that the Rose Family did not get any whiff of the news. Xiao Mei blocked all the news from reaching them at all.

...

It was noon, Hao Ren had taken Eden to a saloon and gotten her a hair wash and also mild make up, then some new but fair clothes were bought so that she could look a bit presentable before the press. After all, she was the heir apparent of the Rose family.

The two of them were in the car heading toward the hotel. Eden was visibly nervous and Hao Ren sighed as he said, "Are you worried that those people will question you too much?"

Eden nodded, and Hao Ren sighed as he said, "Can you remember why you are doing this today?"

Eden replied, "To help my mother get justice she deserved."

Hao Ren nodded and replied, "If you act selflessly, the people will come seeking gaps in your armor. Take a stand for yourself, and the rest will fall into place. Remember, that everything your mother went through was to get justice for you and to give you a life that you deserved."

Eden clenched her fists and asked, "What if they say that I am just an Illegitimate child? What will I do then? The people of the world will stain my mother's name."

Hao Ren shook his head and replied, "When you get what is yours the same people will look up to you as an idol. The people of the world are just sheep that follow the trend and pick the easy way out of everything. Do not worry about them. The one who has power is the one to command the sheep.

The choice is yours, whether you want to be the sheep or the one who drives them."

The car reached the hotel shortly after the conversation and Eden decisively got out of the vehicle and Hao Ren watched her enter the hall. Eden was going to take the stage and he was going to work in the shadows.
