Shao Mi let out a sigh, puzzled by her actions.
She had just finished a eting and craved for so fresh air, but sohow found herself outside her territory.
Their headquarters occupied a unique space, accessible only to a select few with a special type of key for entry and exit.
It wasn't as secure and isolated as the Zol Clan's territory, but still sowhat tricky to navigate.
Floating in the dark sky, she began contemplating of what to do about the current status quo of the world.
That should have been her priority, but the image of the man she had encountered earlier kept looping in her mind.
"You're here for a stroll?" echoed a voice from behind her, forcing her to transform into light instantly, evading a potential ambush.
As she regained her composure, she noticed a man floating mid-air. His distinctive white hair and piercing red eyes stood out against the dark sky.
"You again…" Her heart quickened its beating as she realized it was the sa man that had been in her mind.
"What are you doing here?" she replied with a voice that carried a blend of embarrassnt and frustration
'I'm an idiot' She scolded herself internally; this man was here to eliminate her. In her mind, he must have been sent by the other families to assassinate her.
"I just wanted to see you again. I'll leave now that I'm satisfied," the man said, a gentle smile gracing his lips.
"What do you an?" she asked, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion as she tried to decipher his words.
But before she could get an answer, he vanished out of thin air like a phantom, leaving her behind, bewildered and filled with unanswered questions.
"Who are you... and why are you toying with my emotions?" she asked, feeling frustrated but oddly happy. It was a strange sensation, sothing new to her.
But one thing was certain: that man stirred her heart whenever they t.

After my vision cleared, what greeted was a small island within South Korea's borders. I chose this spot because it was uninhabited, making it ideal for my plan, just in case I ssed up.
At the sa ti, this place was pretty far from the capital, so I didn't have to worry about anyone spying on us.
Regarding the Zol Clan, I tried to locate them, but after they disappeared, even my trackers failed to follow their trail.
The sa happened with the Shao Mi and the other Taoists; they vanished without a trace.
I speculated that perhaps their headquarters were hidden in a special space that even my trackers couldn't pinpoint it.
The silver lining was that I was able too et Shao Mi again while scouting the general location of the last ping on my map.
It might sound like I was stalking her, but given my super handso face, it was more accurate to label as a secret admirer instead.
'I love teasing her,' I chuckled to myself, relishing the mory of her reaction. I didn't pushed myself to her; instead, I wanted to savor her slowly, slowly making her fall in love with step by step.
Slowly, I descended to the location where a few tents were set up, and the girls were waiting for .
"Darling! Where did you go?" Rei i was the first to speak while running towards .
I had teleported them here before heading to China, so they weren't aware of my activities.
"I just had so business to attend to," I answered firmly. There was no need for to say anything else as it would just be a waste of ti.
It was supposed to end that topic, but Rei i said sothing that made all the girls look at with a puzzled look.
"Sothing seems different about you," she stated, her eyes squinting as she tried to figure it out.
"What do you an?" I asked, wondering if soone had actually put a bug on . That would not be an ideal scenario.
"The frequency of your aura is different, it's more lively. Before, you had this cold aura, even though you acted kindly. But this ti, I feel like you've changed," she pointed out.
'W—Wait... Don't tell she could tell that I'm in love?' I thought to myself. I never thought that frequency could be used this way.
I also have a skill that lets figure out the emotion of a person, but it's useless against individuals who are strong.
But despite the difference in our power, Rei actually sensed it, although she couldn't completely figure out my true emotions.
I made a ntal note to ask her how to actually do sothing like this. But for now, it was better not to tell them about Shao Mi, or they might get jealous and end up distracted.
"Nothing, I'm just feeling happy that we could finally save Sung Hei," I chuckled, trying to shift the conversation.
"Ah, that's a relief," Rei i replied with a smile.
"Let's start," I patted her head and then began to give them the briefing of the plan that I had in mind.
To ensure the success of our plan, it was imperative that we worked together to fend off the Ti Wraiths' attacks the mont I extracted Sung Hei .
Anticipating that their attacks would be stronger than ever, I ticulously analyzed every aspect of our abilities and powers.
This involved not only understanding the intricacies of our individual capabilities but also leveraging them collectively to overco the challenges posed by the Ti Wraiths.
As I outlined the details of our strategy to the group, I could sense that they were all feeling anxious after knowing how powerful the attack we needed to stop.
I didn't explain the existence of the Ti Wraiths to them to avoid any incident; I just inford them that we would be under attack.
"Listen up, just don't get too nervous. I'm confident that we can do it. I'm here and I would never let anything hurt you," I reassured them.
Everyone sighed in relief and smiled after hearing my words. For them, my words were like gospel. If I said they wouldn't get hurt, then they wouldn't.
Rei i, Eun Ha, Mio, Alice, and Min Hee ford a circle around , holding hands tightly. Alice needed to touch everyone to link our minds together for her ability to work.
"Let's start" I declared . Read exclusive adventures at empire
