Not long after, Hoshino Kannon brought Gu Chenan to the skyscraper where the Black Owl Organization was located.
"Don't be nervous, if they bully you, I'll stand up for you."
Downstairs of the skyscraper, Hoshino Kannon looked at Gu Chenan with determined eyes and said.
Gu Chenan smiled faintly: "Haha, okay."
The two entered the skyscraper.
While the Black Owl Organization claimed to be an international trading company to the public, they did engage in some international trade activities to keep up appearances.
They passed through without any obstacles and entered the elevator hall.
"Going to see your boss?" Gu Chenan asked.
Hoshino Kannon shook her head: "She's probably still gaming. Let's go to my room first."
Gu Chenan raised his brows: "No room arranged for me?"
"No," Hoshino Kannon shook her head immediately. "You'll sleep with me."
Gu Chenan shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Soon, the two entered Hoshino Kannon's room.
Not long after, a taxi arrived, and Lin Yu got out with his luggage and entered the skyscraper.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" The female receptionist at the skyscraper stood up and asked.
Lin Yu's lecherous gaze swept up and down the woman.
Not bad, even an ordinary receptionist here has quite the looks. Looks like I've come to the right place!
"Oh, I'm Lin Yu," Lin Yu said with an arrogant chest puffed out and full of confidence. "You guys asked me to come."
The receptionist's expression flickered with a hint of confusion, then she picked up the phone: "Please wait, Mr. Lin."
"No problem, if it's you, I can wait forever."
Receptionist: "?"
The woman was stunned, giving Lin Yu a disgusted glance, thinking: This person... has some issues, right?
He can't possibly think he's very handsome, can he?
Soon, after being notified by the receptionist, Wan Ke came to the first floor of the skyscraper.
"Mr. Lin, I presume?"
Hearing the voice, Lin Yu turned around to see Wan Ke, dressed in an OL uniform with black stockings, walking quickly towards him.
Lin Yu's roaming gaze swept over Wan Ke's body before he nodded: "That's me."
"I'm the one who called you. Since you're here, let's go upstairs," Wan Ke said.
"Okay."
...
Ding, the elevator doors opened.
"Our organization claims to be an international trading company to the public, so most employees don't know our true identity," Wan Ke said as she led the way with Lin Yu following behind, curious like an old lady entering a grand garden.
"Mr. Lin, you shouldn't mention your identity in front of ordinary employees from now on."
"Hello, may I ask if I'm one of The Twelve Owls now?" Lin Yu asked.
Wan Ke turned around and smiled lightly: "Although the leader wants you to become one of The Twelve Owls, you still need to go through some tests."
Seeing Wan Ke's smile, Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat, completely missing what she had just said.
At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind.
She smiled at me, she likes me, definitely!
Alas, what can I do, it's because I have a graceful demeanor and am such a charming man that women admire me wherever I go. How troublesome~
But I didn't expect the Black Owl Organization's headquarters to have so many good-looking women. Since I've come here, I can't leave without doing anything.
Let's start by seducing this female secretary!
After walking for a distance, Wan Ke gestured toward a room: "Mr. Lin, you can stay here tonight. Tomorrow, we'll introduce you to the rest of The Twelve Owls."
Then she asked, "Hoshino hasn't arrived yet?"
Hoshino? Hoshino Kannon?
Lin Yu paused.
Right, how could he have forgotten her? After asking her to assassinate Xiao Jian in Suhang, her phone had been unreachable.
"Kannon is coming too?" Lin Yu asked.
Hearing the name "Kannon," Wan Ke paused slightly.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yu's relationship with Hoshino was so close that he could directly address her as "Kannon."
Well, it's not surprising since Lin Yu's recruitment into the organization was recommended by Hoshino.
Or perhaps they had some other relationship.
"Didn't Hoshino tell you?" Wan Ke asked.
"No," Lin Yu shook his head.
Wan Ke smiled: "No problem, she should be here tomorrow. Mr. Lin, please rest first."
"Okay, got it."
Lin Yu nodded, tossing his bangs aside and entered the room.
At the same time, in Hoshino Kannon's room...
Hoshino Kannon pushed Gu Chenan onto the bed and tore open his shirt like a wolf.
Looking at Hoshino Kannon on top of him, Gu Chenan's lips twitched.
"You asked me to sleep in your room just to do this?"
Hoshino Kannon put a finger to her lips, gesturing for silence: "Don't talk, kiss me."
Gu Chenan: "..."
...
The next morning, Gu Chenan and Hoshino Kannon cleaned up and walked out of the room.
As soon as they exited, they bumped into Wan Ke.
"Hoshino, when did you return?" Wan Ke was surprised and greeted them immediately.
"Last night."
It was then that Wan Ke noticed Gu Chenan beside Hoshino Kannon.
"This is..."
"The young master of the Gu Family of Donghai, Gu Chenan," Hoshino Kannon introduced.
"Him?" Wan Ke frowned. "The one who stopped Mr. Lin from assassinating Xiao Jian? Hoshino, you captured him?"
Hoshino Kannon: "..."
Gu Chenan: "..."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Wan Ke sensed something was off.
Hoshino Kannon said she returned last night, which means...
Last night, Hoshino and Gu Chenan stayed together?
Huh?
What the hell?
Shouldn't Hoshino be with Mr. Lin...
Tsk... an affair?
Wan Ke's gaze wandered over Gu Chenan.
Yes, that must be it.
This Gu Chenan was so handsome and had such a perfect physique, it seemed Hoshino couldn't resist the temptation.
Wan Ke collected her thoughts and said, "Since Hoshino is here, you should attend the meeting later too."
"Another meeting?" Hoshino Kannon looked unwilling.
Wan Ke nodded: "Mr. Lin arrived last night, so today we need to arrange some other matters and let Mr. Lin get acquainted with the other colleagues."
Upon hearing this, Hoshino Kannon raised her brows.
It seemed the leader had already confirmed Lin Yu as one of The Twelve Owls.
This can't go on!
"Where's the boss?" Hoshino Kannon asked.
Wan Ke shrugged: "Where else? Gaming, of course."
"Okay, got it, I'll go find her."
Hoshino Kannon grabbed Gu Chenan's hand and headed towards the elevator hall.
Seeing this, Wan Ke was slightly shocked.
Wow, if it's an affair, it's an affair, but must you be so blatant about it?
You're already at the organization, aren't you afraid Mr. Lin will see?
Thinking about it, Wan Ke pondered for a moment and felt relieved.
It's no wonder, though. Gu Chenan was so devilishly handsome, it's understandable that Hoshino's heart would flutter.
But...
Why did she bring Gu Chenan to the organization?
I heard from Mr. Lin that he and Gu Chenan were sworn enemies.
Tsk...
I don't get it, the upper circles are so messy...
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ...

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
