On the noisy street, Amy hugged her new boyfriend Gao Feng and bid farewell to " He." The two of them looked at each other and gradually disappeared into the night.
Coincidentally, the PUB was about to close.
After Peter packed up everything, he waved goodbye to He. He carried a bag and enjoyed the mystery of the night alone, not to hitch a ride…
Because Han Nuo had lost consciousness, Pawnshop No. 8 had no owner to collect the pawned items, so it was destined that people would not be able to find the pawnshop for a while.
AhJing, on the other hand, had been patiently taking care of Han Nuo during this period of time. He even hoped that Han Nuo would not get better and let her take care of him.
But hope was only hope. Lin Xiantang's research had to be stopped. So AhJing couldn't possibly stay at the pawnshop to take care of Han Nuo.
If the research was successful, the pawnshop would lose its purpose of existence, and AhJing and Han Nuo would lose their lives along with the pawnshop…
When 'He' returned to his mansion, he was greeted with Gao Han's expression that seemed like he was about to go on strike.
"Why? Don't you plan to continue your career as a special assistant? My dedicated special assistant."
Since Gao Han had the guts to break into Pawnshop No. 8 and release his father's soul without worrying about Han Nuo and AhJing finding out,'He' had reason to believe that kinship had a special value in Gao Han's heart. He believed that the fate of Amy and Gao Feng should be enough for Gao Han to continue working for him.
"Your company is big, and my ability to bear it is limited. I still want to live for two more years, so I was planning to submit my resignation to you. Since you're not in the company, I had to wait for you to come back and personally submit it to you.”
Although Gao Han had once owned an empire advertising company, he was the boss himself back then. When had he ever been squeezed so hard like he was now? Now that he already had control over most of the connections of the 'He' company, even if he didn't rely on the No. 8 pawnshop or 'He,' he believed that he could do it alone! Therefore, he decided to gather his courage and get rid of someone's oppression. Then, he would have time to look for his parents...
"Very good!"
Sting-Sting-
'He' smiled as he took Gao Han's resignation letter and said two words in agreement. Then, under Gao Han's gaze, he slowly tore the resignation letter into a pile of scrap paper.
"What do you mean?"
"It's nothing. It's not easy for you to have the ability to replace the previous special assistant's job. I'm not interested in managing the company. How can I let you go just because you're tired? So as long as I don't agree, don't even think about resigning!”
"What if I have to leave? Are you going to kill me?"
"No, I kill people easily. Compared to ending their lives as punishment, I prefer to make them wish they were dead!”
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Gao Han's tense nerves relaxed a little because he was worried about the power of the 'Her'. However, after hearing the second half of the sentence, Gao Han's nerves tensed up again.
It was often heard that life was worse than death. Few people had actually seen it, but Gao Han had truly experienced it.
Before he was burned by the black shadow's Earth Fire, he had experienced such a life worse than death for a long time.
The black shadow and the evil soul Han Nuo had threatened Gao Han with Amy, Gao Feng, and Xiao Jie's souls, or whipped him. Those days were definitely worse than death.
Thinking of how powerful He was, Gao Han felt that he might have discovered something about him. Otherwise, where did he get the confidence to threaten him?
Gao Han couldn't help but curse himself for living a peaceful life for too long. He actually thought that 'He' was just an ordinary person without using his magic power. He forgot that the other party was so powerful that he could even block the senses of the No. 8 Pawnshop!
"I recently met two new friends and a pair of lovers. They are called Gao Feng and Amy. I don't think I need to say anything else, right?”
He didn't miss Gao Han's surprised expression. Sometimes, it wasn't physical torture that was worse than death. The mental torture was the most painful. Since he had already discovered Gao Han's identity,'He' naturally had to make good use of these things.
"Gao Feng! Amy! What did you do to them?"
Hearing these two names, Gao Han immediately lost his composure. He even wanted to go up and question 'He' but forgot that there was a possibility of someone 'tricking' him.
"Stop! If you dare to resign, I can't guarantee what will happen to them. But if you don't resign, I can guarantee that they will be happy for the rest of their lives!”
" He " was full of confidence. It sounded like he could really let Amy and Gao Feng live happily ever after. Gao Han, who knew that he was strong, was a little shaken, but he didn't have too many doubts.
"If you don't resign and you can really do what you just said, I'm willing to continue being the special assistant.”
"Special assistant? " Hmph, Gao Han, don't try to change the concept. A mere special assistant wants to get rid of the curse of pawning souls and the imprisoned souls. Aren't you overestimating yourself? You should know what the real meaning of my resignation is." I'll give you one night to think about it. I hope you'll give me a satisfactory answer tomorrow.”
After saying that,'He' went around Gao Han and returned to his mansion while humming an unknown tune. He found the book he wanted to read and continued his path of 'studies'. He did not need to sleep, nor was he interested in sleeping. In his eyes, it was better to look at the interesting things in this world. When he was hiding his power, he would naturally choose books to look at interesting things.
In the past few months, he had already flipped through many books on the origin of this world, which were all kinds of 'sacred objects' that were worth no less than souls in Pawnshop No. 8.
As for the brief history of time that he had read before, it was just a casual book because he wanted to see what the humans in this world knew about the universe. The Buddhist scriptures, Daoist scriptures, the Bible, the Koran, and other famous books were what he really paid attention to.
As the founder and chairman of a multi-national corporation,'He' was very good at using his authority to get people to collect ancient models of these classics for him. Of course, it would be even better if he could find rare copies.
Although his power belonged to the darkness, He didn't care about being injured by these powers at all because they were too weak. Even the two most powerful rulers of light and darkness in this world couldn't be taken seriously by He, let alone some books that couldn't compare to them.
The stronger the so-called 'Saint Energy' in these books, the more valuable they would be in the eyes of 'Her'. The book that he gave Amy and Gao Feng was one of them. Because after reading it, it no longer had any value in the eyes of " He ", so he gave it to those who needed it.
The night passed quickly.
In the morning, just as he walked out of the study room,'He' saw Gao Han, who looked a little dispirited.
"Have you thought it through?"
He placed the 'new' book aside and pulled out a chair. He smiled confidently.
"If you agree to one more condition, I'll be willing to be your slave.”
Xiao Jie's matter had not been resolved yet. Gao Han felt that since he was going to sell himself to 'Her', of course he had to exchange for the greatest benefits for the person he loved. He wanted' Her'to help the unborn Xiao Jie obtain the happiness that she deserved. Xiao Jie could pawn her soul for him, so why couldn't he sell his freedom?
"I can agree to your condition, but I don't want it to be a condition that I hate.”
He looked at Gao Han with a scrutinizing gaze and stated his conditions. He needed a subordinate who could help him. Gao Han was chosen because of his ability in the company and because he could be used. However, this didn't mean that he had to be cold. There were billions of people on Earth, and he could always find another suitable person. Moreover, finding subordinates was just a spur of the moment…
"Other than helping Amy and Gao Feng, I want you to help another person obtain the happiness that they deserve!”
"Happiness? Who?"
"Zhong Xiaojie!"
"Alright, I agree to this condition, but you will become my most loyal subordinate from now on as the price for helping these three people! And when I leave this world, you will never have the chance to see them again. If he agreed, this deal could be completed right now.”
"Deal!"
