Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"You said you were going to introduce me to a job?"

Song Jie stroked his chin, looking at Ye Ge with suspicion, as if judging whether he was trustworthy: "Is it included with meals?"

Night Song: "Of course."

Song Jie's eyes darted around: "What are the job responsibilities? Let me make it clear beforehand, I'm not good at head-on fights, I mostly prefer sneak attacks..."

“Just do what you do best,” Night Song said: “Tracking, reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, and stealing.”

Song Jie was surprised: "How did you know I'm good at gathering intelligence? Has word already spread that I helped those young masters in Asen City gather information on the private lives of noble girls a few days ago?"

Night Song: "..."

"Just tell me whether you want to do it or not."

Song Jie's eyes darted around, and he immediately said, "Sure, of course I'll do it! Working for the young master of the empire's largest demonized mutant family means I'll be considered half a member of high society, right? I can brag about it to the kids in town for a year when I get back..."

"But to tell you the truth, I was actually bragging just now."

Song Jie shrugged: "Actually, all I know is how to steal a little."

"The reason I was able to sneak in here without being discovered by those monsters isn't because I'm particularly skilled. It's just because I've lived in my hometown, the Black Wasteland Town, for a long time, so I know the habits of those monsters very well. I just applied some demonic-smelling spices to my body."

Ye Ge laughed: "You're quite honest, you little thief."

Song Jie muttered under his breath, "It's not about being honest. Everyone knows the Ye family's reputation... What if I lied to you and you get angry and kill me?"

Killing him alone would be fine, since his life isn't worth many gold coins anyway.

The Ye family has always been known as a group of war madmen. It is said that all the members of this demonized human family are capricious, dark, cold-blooded, ruthless, and violent. They are all monsters who love to eat people!

What if the young master of the Ye family gets angry and sends troops to take over his hometown town as well?

"Don't worry, I certainly wouldn't be impressed with your current abilities," Ye Ge said calmly. "But I will train you and turn you into the best intelligence hunter."

"Really?" Song Jie asked doubtfully.

As a child from a remote, desolate town, this was the first time someone from the city had thought he had potential.

The reason he was kicked out so easily when he was in the Witcher Guild was because the adults in the guild thought he was mediocre and there was nothing to regret about kicking him out.

"This place has been almost completely looted, let's go."

Ye Ge turned around and suddenly saw the prisoners and slaves locked in the dungeon cages again.

Song Jie followed his footsteps and looked in the direction he was looking. He clicked his tongue with some regret and said, "What a pity. These people have been corrupted by the demonic aura here. They probably won't live much longer. Those who survive will definitely become demonized humans."

"But then again, death might be a relief for them; they're really suffering here..."

Ye Ge's eyes remained calm. Without saying a word, she strode away.

......

Inside the main hall lay the corpses of dead demons.

Chu Ruohua knelt on the ground, supporting her body. Her clothes were tattered, and her wrist, which was holding the sword, trembled slightly.

"As expected of the number one genius of Ten Thousand Swords City, you did a really good job, you actually killed them all."

Night Song patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, I've already looted this place, next location is the fortress in the east."

"They...they're still going?!?"

Chu Ruohua's eyes were filled with terror: "We've already raided over a dozen areas! You've also looted over a dozen areas, your storage ring should be almost full by now, right? And you're still not satisfied?!"

He, a sixth-level Earth Realm transcendent, managed to kill hundreds of Earth Realm demons despite being under a lot of negative buffs!

Fortunately, he was in the elite class, with extraordinary talent and strength.

If it were any other ordinary Earth Realm transcendent, they would have died hundreds of times over!

Night Song: "We haven't even seen the BOSS yet, what are these few levels?"

Chu Ruohua: "......"

"Let's go, senior. We should finish what we start," Ye Ge said, walking out with his hands behind his back.

Song Jie glanced at Chu Ruohua furtively, feeling that the guy's eyes were a bit scary. He shuddered and quickly followed Ye Ge's footsteps.

Chu Ruohua's eyes gradually turned cold, as if she wanted to devour someone.

He gripped his longsword and slowly stood up.

Soul energy erupted, and sword intent was chilling!

boom--!

"I've lived for over a decade, and this is the first time someone has dared to treat me like a tool!"

Chu Ruohua stared menacingly at Ye Ge's retreating figure, gritting her teeth as she said, each word distinct and deliberate, "You forced me to do this..."

Night Song stopped.

He had certainly sensed the powerful soul force and sword energy that Chu Ruohua unleashed in anger.

"Finally couldn't bear it anymore?"

Ye Ge turned around and smiled, "Trying to kill me to silence me?"

"You asked for it!"

"To attack a classmate in a secret realm dungeon should be a major taboo in the academy, right?"

“The principal won’t know,” Chu Ruohua said solemnly. “Even if she did, she wouldn’t do anything to me for the sake of a student from a demonized family like you.”

Despite this, Chu Ruohua was still a little uneasy.

Even if the principal doesn't pursue the matter, if the Ye family finds out, he'll still be finished...

The terror of the Ye family is common knowledge.

Other nobles, if they wanted to openly wage war against someone within the empire, might have to consider face, reputation, chances of victory, economics, and all sorts of other miscellaneous issues...

The reason why the Ye family was called a bunch of madmen by the nobles of the empire was because once they were angered, they would stop at nothing and not care about the consequences if they wanted to take revenge on someone!

They would bite their opponent like a pack of rabid wolves, either killing them outright or being riddled with wounds themselves, never letting go...

Even if we kill a thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of our own, it is not worth our pity!

Nobody wants to fight a madman.

And to put it bluntly, although Night Owl is only a viscount, if the Night family were to truly deploy their elite elite troops, in the entire empire, apart from the royal family and the four dukes, probably no one could rival them...

But now is not the time to think about that.

Chu Ruohua gritted her teeth, trying her best to force herself not to think about the consequences.

All he wanted to do right now was kill this damn brat in front of him!
