"Henry."
"Zelas, Morrison, how come you're here?"
"Henry, Mr. West told us to come. He heard that you bought a new house and wanted to ask if you're planning to rent your old house."
"Mr. West wants to rent my house?"
"Sort of. It's that Miss Ye He who just came today. She's looking for a house now, so we told Mr. West about your situation. He asked us to help him ask."
"If it's someone from the company and Mr. West asked, then I'll lend the house to Miss Ye He for now," Henry said. He glanced at his mother beside him. "Mom, is that okay?"
"Of course. Is that Mr. West your boss?"
"No, he's our vice president," Henry said.
When they talked outside, they always referred to the Supernatural Organization as a company.
Chen Zhao was the boss, while West was the vice president.
"That house can't be rented for much even on the market. It's not a problem to lend it to Mr. West, as long as he doesn't burn my house down."
After Zelas and Morrison finished their discussion, they took their leave.
Henry's mother saw that the two didn't drive a rundown car. It seemed to be a good car.
They were also dressed well and spoke in an orderly manner.
"Henry, are Zelas and Morrison your colleagues too?"
"They're under me now," Henry said proudly.
"You're their superior?"
"I'm in charge of a department now. You know a few people in my department."
"Why did your boss take you all in?"
"Speaking of which, it's quite a coincidence. Once, a dozen of my brothers and I went to the boss's business to make trouble. Then, the boss taught us a lesson and asked us to compensate him. We couldn't afford the compensation, so in the end, the boss asked us to stay and work until the money was paid. Later, the boss needed skilled workers, so we recommended ourselves. The boss saw that we were quite obedient during that time, so he agreed to give us a chance.
"I think your boss asked you to compensate to help you change. Your boss is really a good person."
"Ha … Yeah."
Mom, if you knew what he did in the past, I think you'd swallow your words.
…
When Xiao He interacted with West, it could be said that she was scared witless.
She had been accumulating power in secret. If there was a disagreement, she would attack at any time.
But the result was not what she had expected.
West didn't even know about the thing in her hand, or maybe he didn't even mention it.
He only arranged for her to stay and asked someone to help her find a house on the same day.
"Mr. Chen." Xiao He dialed his number.
"What is it?"
"You're the leader of the Supernatural Organization?"
"Is there a problem?"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"Er …" Xiao He didn't know how to continue this topic. "You already knew my identity?"
"No, I only found out after I sent you overseas. Initially, I had only accepted Wang He's request, that's all. So you don't have to think about anything else. Saving you was purely a favor."
Hearing this, Xiao He heaved a sigh of relief.
"No matter what, thank you, Mr. Chen."
Xiao He was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone.
Chen Zhao broke the silence first.
"Mr. Chen, I have something …"
"No matter what you have, you don't have to tell me, and you don't have to use it to save your life. Neither I nor West are interested in it. Our goal has never been something in your hands. If you're in danger, you can go to the Supernatural Organization's headquarters to seek protection. Did West give you the address?"
"Yes."
"Okay, that's it." Chen Zhao hung up.
Xiao He felt complicated. Actually, she was testing Chen Zhao.
After all, it was over the phone. If Chen Zhao showed any desire for that thing …
Then she would choose to disappear completely so that Chen Zhao would never be able to find her.
She didn't have absolute trust in Chen Zhao or the Supernatural Organization.
…
Actually, Chen Zhao and West had guessed that Xiao He might have the ultimate treasure of the Alchemy Sect.
Otherwise, why would the traitors of the Alchemy Sect come all the way overseas to kill her?
Both of them felt that the possibility was very low.
Unless they had a deep grudge against each other.
But Xiao He definitely didn't have a deep grudge against them.
With Xiao He's age, her biggest grudge was probably someone's head she'd smashed when she was young.
So, unless there were enough benefits, the traitors wouldn't come all the way to kill Xiao He.
But neither Chen Zhao nor West was interested in the thing in Xiao He's hand.
It was like a billionaire. Would he be interested in a commoner who won the lottery?
Chen Zhao still had the disk and spear that Zhang had given him.
Even now, Chen Zhao still didn't know what these two things were used for.
However, Chen Zhao could vaguely feel that these two things had extraordinary origins.
Perhaps it was some kind of ancient divine artifact or something like that.
So, when Chen Zhao was at home, he would take them out every few days to study them.
He wanted to see if he could activate them or make them recognize him as their master.
But Chen Zhao had almost tried everything: dripping blood, channeling immortal power, using water bubbles, or roasting them with fire.
But the disk and spear still didn't react.
More radical methods didn't work right now.
They didn't look like they would last long.
Chen Zhao was afraid that if he used too much strength, he would destroy the two items.
As for Zhang, he still wouldn't say it directly. He told Chen Zhao to study it himself.
But Chen Zhao couldn't study it at all. Most of what he knew was based on his own imagination. Only a few of them were based on popular fantasy methods.
"Darling, what do these two look like?" Chen Zhao decided to change his method.
Perhaps as an outsider, Fali could give him a different answer.
"Spear and shield. Am I right?"
Chen Zhao was a bit disappointed. He shrugged. "I don't know. Zhang gave them to me. I don't know what they're for. He just said that it's my reward when I came back last time."
Fali walked up and picked up the disk. "What material is this? It's much lighter than I thought. It doesn't feel like stone or metal. It's really strange. "
Fali flipped the disk over. There were some patterns on the reverse side. "These aren't Taoist patterns. They're more like oracle bone inscriptions or marks left behind by a similar civilization. Maybe you can ask an archaeologist."
Chen Zhao thought of Falui Lysander, but he still didn't know if Falui would be willing to help him with his attitude last time.
