Chu He nodded deeply. "A favor for Her Majesty the Queen is one I will certainly repay.
Besides, my family lives in this land. I will not allow any threat to their safety to exist."
His words were filled with resolve, slightly easing the heavy weight in Liu Yuzhu's heart.
This place was filled with a strange atmosphere. The secret of Evil Spirits making deals with humans was hidden beneath all this prosperity.
Liu Yuzhu couldn't help but recall the conversation between Chu He and Young Master Liu.
'That well... it's most likely where the Evil Spirit's true body is hiding.'
She couldn't understand how Evil Spirits—emotionless creatures that existed only in dark corners—could possibly make deals with humans.
'If this is really happening, then I'm afraid this isn't the only place in the Great Xia Empire that has been corrupted like this.'
Chu He's arrival gave Liu Yuzhu a glimmer of hope.
With just a flick of his index finger, the entire Starlight Entertainment building had crumbled to dust, as if eroded by time itself, leaving not a single trace behind.
All that remained were a few broken walls and ruined ramparts rising from the ground, silently testifying to what once stood here.
Chu He's power once again shattered Liu Yuzhu's understanding. 'He truly is the acknowledged strongest on Blue Star.'
"Now, take out your phone and call the person behind you."
Chu He looked down on Young Master Liu, each word as if pulled from a block of ice. "If you can't get them to come, I guarantee I'll make you wish you were dead."
Young Master Liu's heart filled with despair.
He felt like the unluckiest bastard chosen by fate. 'Of all places, why did I have to run into an expert like Chu He in a small place like Jinwan Town?'
Not only would he be unable to escape, but his family and his backers would likely be dragged down with him.
His only hope was that his backer could do something. Although he knew the chances were slim, he began to dial that important number with a trembling hand.
He had never saved that number on his phone.
Instead, it was deeply engraved in his mind, for it was tied to the fate of both him and his family.
Chu He never showed mercy to his enemies.
Young Master Liu could naturally see that Chu He wasn't bluffing.
During his time in the Great Jing Empire, he had experienced countless battles with Evil Spirits. The warriors by his side had withered away like autumn leaves under the claws of the Evil Spirits.
The methods of the Evil Spirits were cruel and merciless.
Every Martial Artist new to the battlefield would suffer immense psychological and physical pressure, some even being left with indelible trauma.
Yet Chu He had been tempered in such an environment, emerging without a single shadow on his heart. Instead, he had forged immense power as a Martial Artist, a testament to his mental fortitude.
Feeling the intense pressure emanating from Chu He, Young Master Liu nodded hurriedly and decisively pressed the call button.
While this call could put him in danger, it might also grant him a sliver of a chance to survive.
The longer he stayed alive, the greater his chance of turning the tables.
If he were killed outright, what good would it do to save his family and backers? He would have nothing left—not even the chance to enjoy life or see how things turned out.
The call connected quickly.
A hoarse, inhuman voice came from the receiver, yet it spoke human language fluently. "What is it? I warned you not to contact me unless it was absolutely necessary. This had better be important."
The speaker's tone was clearly filled with displeasure and warning.
Young Master Liu struggled to keep his voice steady. "Over here at Starlight Entertainment, I've recently gathered a batch of high-quality 'goods,' including some that meet your requirements.
I've stored this batch at Starlight Entertainment, but unfortunately, we were attacked by an extremely powerful individual."
As he spoke, he kept glancing at Chu He, trying to send him some kind of message by winking and making faces.
Liu Yuzhu's expression, however, gradually turned cold.
A surge of anger rose within her as she saw Young Master Liu leaking information during the call.
'That Young Master Liu... daring to leak secrets to the other party at such a critical moment. He just won't give up his wicked ways.'
She was already prepared to report this matter.
If the other party actually dared to show up, they would face the Great Xia Empire's most severe encirclement!
Liu Yuzhu took her phone out of her pocket. Ever since becoming Chu He's secretary, she had left her previous department and was now in direct contact with Her Majesty the Queen.
She had also gained certain privileges, no longer falling under anyone's jurisdiction and taking orders only from Her Majesty the Queen and Chu He.
Now, she prepared to use this privilege to quickly report the matter to Her Majesty the Queen and ensure the safety of the Great Xia Empire.
Just as Liu Yuzhu was about to call for reinforcements, Chu He gently pressed his hand down in the air, signaling for her to be patient.
Liu Yuzhu was slightly taken aback, but then she understood Chu He's intention.
She slowly put her phone back in her pocket, deciding to follow Chu He's lead and quietly wait for the situation to develop.
On the other end of the line, Young Master Liu continued his urgent report: "That guy is still at Starlight Entertainment; he hasn't left.
I implore you to send someone as soon as possible. It would be best if you could come yourself.
This person's strength is extraordinary, and it seems he's still holding back. More importantly, he's already discovered the secret of the well.
If we don't deal with him soon, our stronghold in Jinwan Town will be lost, and we might even be exposed to the Queen of the Great Xia Empire."
Young Master Liu's words betrayed deep anxiety and fear as he wiped the sweat streaming down his forehead. The beads trickled down his cheeks, as heavy as his mood.
Communicating with the master on the other end of the line was an extremely dangerous affair for him.
Normally, he would never dare to contact the other party unless it was absolutely necessary.
But today, he was actually deceiving them, attempting to kill his enemy with a borrowed knife.
For Young Master Liu, this was a nightmarish gamble.
The master on the other end of the line didn't completely believe Young Master Liu's words.
After a few seconds of silence, he slowly spoke: "I happen to be handling some business nearby. I can make a trip over.
But if his strength isn't what you claim it is, well... you should be able to imagine your own fate."
Obviously, the master on the phone didn't believe that a place like Jinwan Town could produce someone that even Young Master Liu couldn't handle.
But considering the importance of Starlight Entertainment, he still decided to make the trip.
As the other party ended the call, Young Master Liu nervously lowered his phone. He forced a smile onto his face and turned to Chu He. "Are you satisfied now?"
"Then we'll wait for them to come."
Chu He gave him a faint glance and simply walked over to a booth to sit down.
Seeing this, Huang Mao and the other young troublemakers, along with the arrogant girl from before, quickly stood up and moved aside.
Although they didn't understand the situation, they could all feel the powerful aura emanating from Chu He and knew he wasn't someone they could afford to provoke.
