You'll Pay for This
Faced with Shen Hui's request, the Lord of Night agreed without hesitation.
"No problem, I can do whatever you ask."
"However, there's one thing: even if you're no longer part of our Night Organization, you cannot become our enemy unless we provoke you."
Shen Hui was surprised that the Lord of Night agreed so readily.
The other party's request was very reasonable, and Shen Hui readily accepted it.
"Okay, then I'll join your Red Night Organization."
"Haha, alright, Leng Zimeng, then you can show Shen Hui around and familiarize him with our Red Night Organization."
"I'll let you know if anything comes up. If you agree to the resources, someone will deliver them later."
"Then I'll be going now. Some people on White Night's side are acting strangely; I need to go check on them."
As the Lord of Night spoke, he led the few members of the Red Night Organization outside, but when they reached the door...
The Lord of Night turned around and asked, "Oh, by the way, is Huang Lingheng alright?"
Before Shen Hui and the others could respond, the other party continued:
"Then I'll leave it to you to take care of him/her."
Having said that, the Lord of Night truly departed this time.
After leaving, the members of the Red Night Organization asked, puzzled:
"Lord of Night, is it worth it to win over Shen Hui?"
"There's no question of whether it's worth it or not. Since he was able to forge his own path in creating a Creation World, that makes him special."
"Sometimes, you have to take a gamble. Things are about to change, and there are things you don't know."
Hearing the Lord of Night's words, the members of the Red Night Organization exchanged bewildered glances.
I didn't know what the Lord of Night was talking about; I was curious but dared not ask.
As soon as the Lord of Night left, Leng Zimeng breathed a huge sigh of relief.
It felt like my whole body had gone limp.
"Is the Lord of Night terrifying?"
Shen Hui asked.
"Anyone who can sit in that position is terrifying."
Leng Zimeng nodded, but it was Zhiyue who answered Shen Hui.
"I didn't expect you to actually join Hong Ye, but the terms they offered are indeed quite good."
"If it were me, I would be tempted too."
Shen Hui looked somewhat helpless. "It's all because of the White Night Organization messing with my mentality. Now I'm a member of the Night Organization too. Just wait and see how I get revenge for you."
"Let's get them inside first; is it still safe here?"
Shen Hui walked to Qingxue's side and helped her up.
Zhiyue thought for a moment, then pointed to Leng Zimeng and Huang Lingheng: "It's not necessarily safe with them. I'll take Qingxue with me."
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Leng Zimeng. Take me to Hong Ye to have a look."
Now that I've joined Hong Ye, I naturally need to learn more about it.
Leng Zimeng nodded.
Zhiyue took Qingxue away, and then the Red Night Organization took over the place and Huang Lingheng took her away.
Leng Zimeng, meanwhile, led Shen Hui towards the Red Night Organization's base.
The organization under the night has distribution points in every major region, so Hong Ye is no exception.
However, each organization primarily operates in different regions.
Starry Night and Hong Ye are active in the Water District quite frequently, so their main base is also in this area.
On the way there, Shen Hui asked, "How many organizations are there under the Night?"
Leng Zimeng replied, "There are five in total: Hong Ye, Starry Night, White Night, Bright Night, and Black Night."
Shen Hui nodded. "Then you're involved in many fields?"
"Yes, it's one of the organizers of the underground auction you mentioned, and one of them is from Night."
"Oh, you know about underground auctions too?"
"I know, we've been hearing rumors about it for the past couple of days."
If Shen Hui knew that Leng Zimeng and the others knew, he wouldn't have needed to ask in the black market.
It really does take having the right channels.
Upon arriving at the Red Night Organization's stronghold, one finds a considerable number of people there.
Upon seeing Leng Zimeng, most of them would greet her warmly.
As for Shen Hui following behind, they didn't recognize him either, simply assuming he was a newcomer that Leng Zimeng had brought to join the Red Night Organization.
Leng Zimeng also began explaining the structure of the Red Night Organization to Shen Hui.
However, not long after, several people who looked older than Shen Hui and Leng Zimeng walked over.
"Hey, Leng Zimeng, long time no see! Where's your brother? I haven't seen him in ages."
"Haha, didn't you know? I heard his brother's Creation World was almost destroyed, and he still hasn't woken up."
"Tsk tsk, Leng Zimeng, if your brother wakes up, tell him not to compete for the position of Lord of Night. Just leave it to us."
"Your side has ultimately fallen. Don't worry, as fellow members of the Red Night Organization, leave it to us."
Leng Zimeng listened to their conversation and snorted coldly.
"Hmph, wait until you've taken care of the other Lord of Night Preselected Candidate. Get out of the way."
Only then did these people notice that there was an unfamiliar face behind Leng Zimeng.
"Leng Zimeng, what, is this the newcomer you brought to Hong Ye?"
"This person is so inconsiderate, they don't even know how to greet people. Leng Zimeng, you'd better teach them a lesson."
"Hey kid, remember us. We're the ones who might become the Lord of Night in the future. Remember to call us 'Big Brother' whenever you see us."
"Quick, call him 'Big Brother'!"
The way these people looked at Shen Hui was as if they wanted to train them, the newcomers.
Shen Hui looked at these people with a strange expression.
"You lot, vying for the position of Lord of Night? At least Huang Lingheng knew to improve his strength to compete for this position, even though he ended up unconscious."
"And you, I think, are completely inferior to Huang Lingheng."
They were all stunned for a moment after listening to Shen Hui's lecture.
What a hothead!
A newcomer dared to lecture them, and even spoke of their pain points.
Among the pre-selected candidates vying for the Lord of Night Hong Ye, Huang Lingheng was the strongest, surpassing them and overshadowing their brilliance.
Although they considered themselves to be about the same as Huang Lingheng, not much stronger.
Now that Huang Lingheng is in trouble, they can naturally have a good chance to show their skills and shine.
But now a new kid dares to lecture them!
"Hey kid, trying to lecture us? You want to die, don't you?!"
"Damn it, you're a newbie. You should know the nature of our Red Night Organization. Let me tell you, you won't see the Sun tomorrow!"
"You'd better apologize to us sincerely, or you'll be in big trouble."
"Leng Zimeng, who approved his joining the organization? Tell me, and I'll take care of him too!"
