Chapter 13: 013: Saka’s death

Master Zhan looked at Zhan Lichuan expectantly, hoping to see a spark of hope in his eyes.

But…

There wasn’t any.

“Lichuan, what grandfather said is true. When I found out about Saka, I immediately sent someone to River Delta and sought her help. If she agrees, I’m sure you’ll recover in no time.”

Zhan Lichuan did not say anything. Although it looked like he wasn’t doing anything, the screen that was diagonally placed above him lit up as if it were commanded by something, and numbers filled the screen.

The numbers rapidly moved across the screen. Then, the huge LED screen placed in front of the bed turned on.

Zhan Lichuan finally said, “This was the biggest piece of news this evening.”

The screen displayed a beautiful scene of the beach. On the cliff next to it, there was a villa that was made up of some kind of special material.

The transparent villa hung at the edge of the cliff, where the waves hit it from below. It looked extremely dangerous, but any expert would know that the material used to make the villa was so strong that even a bomb couldn’t break it apart.

However, this building that was as strong as a metal box was now in ruins. There was only one small part left hanging on the cliff. As for the rest, including the cliff next to it, it had been completely destroyed.

There were countless helicopters and rescue boats searching on the sea. A reporter was reporting about the news on one of the helicopters.

“At 4 AM, a major explosion occurred on S island, located on 62.2° north latitude, 152.9° west longitude. There was only one villa found on the island, and the centre of the explosion was also at this same villa.

“From what we know now, this villa was one of the properties that belonged to the mysterious Master of the Tang Sect, Saka. Before this, one of our reporters confirmed with Saka’s sister, Miss Dong Yuetong, that when the explosion happened, Master Saka was at this exact villa. This seems to have been a deliberate murder, and the police force of Country M has intervened to investigate this matter.”

Master Zhan stared at the news that was being broadcasted on the screen. He couldn’t believe that the hope that had just been ignited in him was now broken into pieces.

“Master Saka was a legend. Her short but stunning life had been controversial. She was the 177th descendant of the Tang Sect, which was originally an ancient medical clan that came from Country Z. As their descendant, Saka had the skills to bring a dead man back to life and was a genius in both medicine and poison. She owned countless hospitals, biotechnology companies, real estate, gambling, and jewelry industries. Her net worth was immeasurable.

“However, Saka was a peculiar person. Although she was an expert in the medical field, there were many times where she refused to save the ones in need. It was a common occurrence for her to ask for a fortune in order for her help, and she lacked medical ethics. Hence, she offended a lot of people in her past. Regarding this explosion, her sister, Miss Dong, suspects that this was done by someone whom Saka must have offended and is now seeking revenge. Further investigation is needed, however, to find out who is behind this murder.

“Saka’s name came from the word Manjusaka, also known as Lycoris. It’s said that this flower means the calling from hell, the guide of the dead. Perhaps Saka saw this coming when she named herself after the flower?

“Saka was the Master of the Tang Sect, so will her death cause an uproar in the Tang Sect? Are there any other descendants of the Tang Sect after her? We have interviewed Miss Dong Yuetong, the younger sister of Saka, regarding this matter.”

The scene switched to a beautiful woman who had an alluring figure. Her eyes were swollen, and her face was filled with grief and anger.

As she looked into the camera, she spoke in a firm voice.

Chapter 14: 014: Perhaps she’s a snake monster

“Did you think that my sister’s death would mean the end of the Tang Sect? You’re all wrong! Even if my sister is dead, the Tang Sect still has me! God is watching you. I don’t care who it is, but the Tang Sect will get to the bottom of this! We will take revenge! We will make them pay for what they did!”

Master Zhan’s eyes glowed with hope again as he said, “Lichuan, see? Saka’s sister is also a descendant of the Tang Sect. She said she’s just like Saka. She has also completely inherited her master’s mantle.”

Zhan Lichuan’s eyes remained cold, and there were no signs of excitement even after hearing what Dong Yuetong said.

“I’ve only heard of Saka and just found out that she was from the Tang Sect after looking into it. Grandfather, if it wasn’t because of Saka, would you have known about the Tang Sect or Dong Yuetong? Let’s put it the other way around; do you even know who Saka’s master is?”

Master Zhan became speechless.

In the other room, Jing Qian also watched the international news that was being broadcasted. When she heard what the woman was saying, the lips that were originally curled upwards were now showing a cold, enchanting smile. She was no longer interested in what the woman had to say next or what was about to happen, so she turned off the television.

At this moment, Butler Xu walked in with the family physician to change the dressing on her forehead and to check up on her. Jing Qian saw her chance, and with a bright smile on her face, asked, “Butler Xu, might there be rats in our garden? Could you get me some fat, healthy ones?

When Butler Xu saw this woman’s dazzling eyes and slender figure, a movie he had watched as a child appeared in his mind.

In that movie, the captivating green snake was also very alluring. She would be talking and laughing with someone at first, but at the very next moment, she would stick out her poisonous fangs, catch a fat rat with her long tongue, and swallow it in one breath.

Now that he was staring at their Young Mistress, who was almost as beautiful as the green snake, he couldn’t help but shiver and carefully ask, “Young Mistress, may I know why you want these rats?”

He was the one who’d interacted with Young Mistress the most.

Master Zhan and the Third Young Master may not see the change in Young Mistress, but he could.

Ever since she woke up after falling down the stairs, the Young Mistress’s temperament was different.

She had become devilish.

She was even asking for rats now.

He couldn’t help but overthink this matter.

Jing Qian laughed when she heard Butler Xu’s question, “Well, obviously, I want to play with them. Did you think that I was going to eat them?”

‘Listen! Listen! Do you hear what she said?!’

This beautiful girl was asking for rats so that she could play with them, and she even talked about eating them. Most people would only want these rats for experiments! Yet, here she was, thinking about playing with them and eating them.

Butler Xu felt his scalp turn numb, as he was frightened by his bold assumptions.

“Young Mistress, if you want something to play with, why don’t you choose white mice instead? They’re much cleaner than rats. These rats are extremely dirty.”

“White mice are cute, and it would be a waste if they died. Rats, please! Butler Xu, could you please get me some? Remember to get some that are fat and healthy.”

Butler Xu’s mind was now filled with images of ‘fat’ and ‘healthy’ rats being eaten.

Should he… Tell Master Zhan about his assumption?
