"Hm? What's wrong my Icy friend?"

Shao Cheng that has gently remove the splash of blood that has splatter on his cheek has just given a glance at the active Pengfei that was having fun learning more about his special power before turning his attention back to the pale face middle age person underneath his feet.

"Next time, use a residence on the same district of where I live."

Pengfei residence was a bit far from the Shao Family and will cause Shao Cheng to take too much time traveling around.

Especially after feeling a great headache coming on after receiving Purple important message about a certain someone antics of daringly sneaking inside the Shao Residence during this time while feeling a bit doubtful about Mei's actions that she was caught by his family.

Was she that always dumb? Somehow, Shao Cheng felt doubtful about how easy Mei got discovered this time, or was it because he is no longer that naive and a newbie from dealing the way how the ancient people schemes and plot to other people that Mei wasn't really hard to deal with n the first place?

"Please… stop… please… no more…Arghhh!"

Soon, the person underneath Shao Cheng's feet desperately begs helplessly to the point of completely losing his mind didn't cause Shao Cheng to feel anything besides indifferent when he once more continues to pour purple aura inside the person's body in order to experiment upon him.

And this time, Shao Cheng wasn't using the purple aura in a positive way, more likely trying to figure out all sort of skills that has flash on his mind to work in reality, especially one particular skill that Shao Cheng would definitely use to deal with the Ma family and better yet to others later on.

However, everything seemed to be all naught when the person has died once more being unable to handle the purple aura for even ten minutes at the time of the practice.

"... I'll take a break for a bit."

After continues experimenting with the people that Pengfei has seized, Shao Cheng has finally deemed to stop his atrocious actions for a while considering the throbbing of his head has become stronger to the point that it started bothering him.

While there is also the matter of contacting Purple that was left in his sleeping quarter just in case something happened while he was away, which it honestly did, of course, Purple has also obediently followed Shao Cheng instructions after praising him so much in order to even considering doing it.

Honestly, regarding Ren Yuan's particular action of sneaking so brazenly in the Shao Residence wasn't surprising at all, heck, Shao Cheng has lead Ren Yuan around the Shao Residence in order for the man to have easier access to sneak inside without being caught since he already considered that situation just base on the times that they interact with each other.

Shao Cheng just didn't expect the man to do it tonight though, even when he already know how Ren Yuan can be unpredictable, he was still getting caught in surprise.

"... everything is truly different…"

Shao Cheng can only accept the growing changes of his new life now before finally deciding on how to deal with Ren Yuan sneaking problem because he was quite sure that the man will do it again the next day so, fortunately, he has already prepared ahead of time.

And so, Shao Cheng has given Purple a message once more before closing his eyes to finally take a small break.

Shortly, Chen Yu that has been happily staying in Ren Yuan's lap has suddenly stilled after abruptly receiving Purple order that has deemed to once more quietly stay in Ren Yuan's head.

"What is wrong Little Chen Yu?"

Ren Yuan who saw the wolf cub umping from his lap before scrambling underneath Shao Cheng bed has curiously gazed upon him and when he was planning to figure out what is going on, Chen Yu has swiftly appeared while having a scroll in his mouth.

Picking up the scroll, Ren Yuan has raised his eyebrows for a second when his gaze landed at the word Yuan written in front of it before curiously opening the scroll up which has soon cause his eyes to widen in surprise after reading what is written upon it.

To The Sneaky And Naughty Brother Yuan.

If you receive this from Chen Yu, then it meant that you imprudently sneak inside our Residence and was now inside my room, Brother Yuan, please leave after you read this message while you are still not caught by my family.

I will not be back in a few days, so don't bother sneaking in anymore and even coming to visit, just do your usual antics around the Chang Capital, I might even drop by to visit you.

And if you still sneak in during night times and my family caught you, causing them to know that I also have been sneaking out then I will ignore you for a long time.

I'm extremely serious about it, Brother Yuan, I'm not kidding around.

So, Brother Yuan, be a good boy and just go home now.

Whitey

"Wow~ Little Cheng sure know me extremely well to leave such a message~ Burn it? No way, I'll take it home with me, hahaha!"

However, despite the smiling face of Ren Yuan, a certain glint flash on his eyes while gazing at the scroll on his hand while numerous thoughts continue to emerge in his mind.

"... now then… what are you up to this time…"

Ren Yuan absolutely believes that whatever the young man is doing or dealing with is certainly going to be a troublesome matter, honestly, he couldn't help but worry at the young man's sake beside feeling curiosity and interest for whatever Shao Cheng is doing in the shadow.

Scratching his head, Ren Yuan has gently flick Chen Yu's forehead while he tried to piece together the whole situation and events that have happened or will occur in the Shao Family because base from what he figured out, the young man is extremely protective from the people he cared about.

"Well, Little Chen Yu, I'll have to go now since I need to go find out what Little Cheng is up to~"

Gently caressing the wolf cub head one more time, Ren Yuan has finally left the Shao Residence without a problem, and the entire reason was because of what the young man has ignorantly shown and mentioned after showing him around the Shao residence, however, he completely believes now that the young man wasn't being ignorant about it.

Shortly, Ren Yuan has secretly arrived in one of the information network places that was spread around the entire Capital. It was one among others that he has started to build at a young age after learning a piece of dangerous information that can cause his life to become targeted than he already was.

"Oh, boss! Just the perfect time, we got a trace to what you have been asking us to look for before."

As soon as Ren Yuan has sat on a comfortable chair, a young man has also entered the secret private room before swiftly reporting back on the finding that they have found.

"Oh? Then who is the one who causes that bastard to betray me?"

Remembering what happened in the Snow Mountain cause Ren Yuan blood to boil in a rage, especially when he remembers the bastard's disgusting eyes and articulate words of what he wanted to do to him.

If the young man hadn't appeared that day, Ren Yuan already predicted how much that day would greatly affect him, especially when he would lose a loyal friend and cause his cousin's health to deteriorate if he didn't get the medicinal object in the right time.

"Boss, for now, we only found out that it is connected to the Ding family."

"Ding Family? Just one of the minority of aristocrats families in the Chang Empire and they dare to target my life?"

Suddenly, Ren Yuan bent his lip in an indifferent smile while his peach blossom grey eyes glinted in coldness because anyone with a bright mind can already tell that a powerful and influential person is just using the Ding Family as a scapegoat.

However, it also didn't change the fact that the Ding family has also sent their people to hunt him down, although, from the start, he already understood that only the top in the higher up can dare to do such a manner, to the point that even one of his friend was manipulated and use by them so easily.

"The royal family… quickly focus your investigation toward them."

"...! Yes, Boss!"

Now then, which one among those Royal bastards are after his life? And why are they targeting him of all people? Was it because he is the only son of the Prime Minister?

Or was it because they wanted to remove any obstacle and power that will help their rival for the throne later on?

And if not either of those other matters, then was it because someone also knows about the unknown secret that his parent has been keeping hidden the whole time?

Honestly, there are so many various trouble and problems in the shadow that Ren Yuan felt a headache coming on, if he could, Ren Yan preferred to live his life in peace, maybe traveling around the Empires without any worries.

However, the reality of his entire situation would never allowed him to fulfill such wishful thinking.

"Ah… Whitey, where did you go? I want my comfy pillow back!"

Honestly, Ren Yuan really wanted to locate where the sneaky little Cheng has disappeared into, at least, he can genuinely feel peace and soothe having the young man by his side and now he can only woe tonight since the first time he was sneaking into a person house is a failure because his target isn't even there to begin with.

And soon, as night past by, the morning has finally arrived causing the experiment that has been going on in the underground basement to also finally stopped.

"Wow… so brutal, ruthless, and cold of you my Icy friend. All the people I carefully have taken with so much hardship are now all dead."

Shao Cheng who has an eerily pale face just tiredly gazes at the obviously same brutal, ruthless and cold Pengfei that was having fun at what he was learning before turning around and deciding to leave the place that strongly smells of thick blood.

"Get more people. Don't hold back and just bribe a corrupted and greedy official handling the vilest criminals in the City, however, just like I told you before, make sure that those people aren't being framed and guilt-free."

In order to have more movement around and freely able to take any action in the shadow, Shao Cheng can only make himself stronger and apply the special power that he was given with on its the greatest uses.

What Shao Cheng lacking at the moment are loyal and faithful people who specifically work for him, in which he just doesn't have enough time to quickly build his people right now while he also couldn't use the Shao Family power so easily at the moment.

Especially when what he is doing is something that even he fears his family will condemn or fear him for.

Although life is like dirt in this world, but the way Shao Cheng is handling them is truly unimaginable to another level that justifies condemnation.

So just like how Shao Cheng has done in the previous life, he will have to do all the work until he has people to freely order around and if he has to be ruthless, vicious, and heartless then so be it.

After all, itis just going to be added to the many sins he has committed so far in his life.

"... I will not allow myself to fail…"

Even Shao Cheng can recognize that this new life will be his last chance, there won't be another one after dying once again so he won't waste the chance he was given without even doing everything he got.
