"He is just messing around, it's really infuriating. I used to think he was quite reliable when handling matters. I was just about to report to the higher-ups when this incident happened—colluding with gangsters and privately imprisoning people. This is definitely breaking the law!" Ji Yue said angrily, quickly pouring herself a glass of water. After taking a sip, she gradually calmed down.
"Hey, Liu Vice Captain, how do you plan to handle this? From the looks of it, he's going to be in trouble—demotion or jail time?" Mo Ming said with a hint of schadenfreude.
Ji Yue shook her head and said, "This matter will be handled by the higher-ups. I'll go talk to Liu Dong shortly. Mo Ming, Zhu Haiqi is currently processing his release; you can wait for him at the back door!"
"Then I won't disturb your official business any longer. I'm off now, Captain Ji. I really owe you a tea treat sometime; the tea in your office is not good at all!" Mo Ming chuckled and left.
At the large iron gate behind, Mo Ming leaned against the wall, waiting aimlessly. It would have been nice to have a cigarette during this boring time, but recently Jun Qianqian had been managing things too strictly, so Mo Ming didn't dare carry any cigarettes on him and could only wait helplessly.
About twenty minutes later, the large iron gate slowly opened, and Demon Eye walked out wearing a black coat. After spending a few years in prison for teasing beautiful women innocently, Demon Eye was eager to find some fun after getting out; he felt it would be a waste not to use the speed he had honed in prison.
"Hey, Demon Eye! Where are you planning to go?" Mo Ming called out to Demon Eye, who was about to leave.
Demon Eye hadn't noticed Mo Ming when he came out and was about to slip away. Upon hearing Mo Ming's voice, he understood he couldn't escape now and turned around with a playful smile, rubbing his hands as he approached. "Hehe, what are you doing here? I didn't see any fancy cars when I came out, so I thought you weren't around. I was just about to look for you!"
"Alright, enough small talk, Demon Eye. I've already followed the rules to get you out; now it's time for you to fulfill your promise!" Mo Ming looked at Demon Eye's expression and knew he was being insincere. However, he couldn't be bothered with that much; as long as Demon Eye provided information, he could say whatever he wanted.
Demon Eye glanced around and then rubbed his stomach, chuckling awkwardly. "I say, big brother, this isn't really a place for conversation, is it? My information is very important; if someone overhears it, that wouldn't do at all! Why don't we find a nice place to eat and drink first before chatting?"
"Eating is fine; however, if your information doesn't satisfy me later on, you'll find out about the tortures that can't be used in prison—I will apply them one by one," Mo Ming said with a sinister smile. "Because I hate being deceived."
"Don't say such scary things! I'm Demon Eye; I'm a person of quality! If I say it's important news, I definitely won't deceive you!" Knowing Mo Ming's reputation, Demon Eye didn't dare play any tricks and kept smiling.
Mo Ming took Demon Eye into a taxi heading straight for Phoenix Grand Hotel. Upon hearing Mo Ming mention Phoenix Grand Hotel to the driver, Demon Eye sighed repeatedly. He remembered that when he first came here years ago, he intended to stay at Phoenix Grand Hotel. Unfortunately, life is unpredictable and full of twists and turns.
Perhaps Demon Eye had been pent up in prison for too long, with no one to listen to his complaints. Now that he was out, he couldn't stop talking. Mo Ming almost couldn't help but hit him again when he started reminiscing about the past, but fortunately, Mo Ming had good self-control; otherwise, Demon Eye would have ended up with new injuries on top of his old ones.
Upon arriving at the Phoenix Grand Hotel, they happened to see Li Xiulan talking with the Front Desk Attendant at the front desk. Mo Ming walked over with Demon Eye, and before they could even stop, the Front Desk Attendant called out, “Ming Shao!”
Li Xiulan quickly turned around, her signature smile on her face as she greeted Mo Ming, “Ming Shao!”
Even to this day, whenever she thought back to their first encounter, Li Xiulan still felt embarrassed. After all, in a fit of anger, she had belittled Mo Ming, yet he not only chose not to hold it against her but also saved her from human traffickers and helped her regain this job. So when she saw Mo Ming, her eyes reflected both gratitude and awkwardness.
What Li Xiulan didn't know was that Mo Ming hadn't taken the past to heart; she was just being hard on herself.
“Manager Li, please arrange a presidential suite for us and have the kitchen prepare a table full of good dishes to send over,” Mo Ming said with a slight nod.
“Sure, Ming Shao! I'll take you there right now, and I'll have the kitchen prepare everything,” Li Xiulan replied respectfully with her trademark smile as she led the way.
Along the way, Demon Eye looked around excitedly, praising everything. Unfortunately for him and like Mo Ming, he wasn't admiring the hotel's luxurious decor but rather commenting on how attractive the hotel’s waitresses were.
As a young woman, Li Xiulan felt her face flush at the lewd comments coming from Demon Eye. She was too shy to interrupt him and could only silently endure the filthy words entering her ears.
“Alright, Demon Eye, that's enough chatter from you,” Mo Ming noticed Li Xiulan's discomfort and immediately interrupted. Initially reluctant, Demon Eye recognized Mo Ming's serious expression and promptly fell silent.
Li Xiulan glanced gratefully at Mo Ming, leading him and Demon Eye to a Presidential Suite. She opened the door respectfully and said “Please,” then stepped inside to turn on the lights and prepare everything before saying to Mo Ming, “Ming Shao, please wait a moment while I arrange things in the kitchen.”
“Thank you for your hard work,” Mo Ming replied lightly.
“It's my pleasure, Ming Shao! These tasks are part of my job; it's nothing difficult. Please wait a moment; I'll go arrange it right away!” Feeling flattered, Li Xiulan hurriedly turned and left.
After Li Xiulan left, Demon Eye approached with a mischievous grin and said, "Mo Ming? You've got quite the skills. At around twenty years old, you've managed to reach this level; you must be quite a character. No wonder the lady is interested in you."
"Can you keep your mouth shut for once?" Mo Ming shot him a glare. Demon Eye, understanding the hint, fell silent and simply sat back in his chair, waiting for the meal to begin. He wouldn't say a word until he was full.
Soon, the dishes were served. When the dish "Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate" was placed on the table, Li Xiulan informed Mo Ming that this was the last dish and encouraged him and Demon Eye to enjoy it slowly. If anything came up, they could press the service button in the room, and she would come immediately. After saying this, Li Xiulan left.
Once Demon Eye had eaten his fill, Mo Ming eagerly asked, "Demon Eye, now you can speak!"
"You young folks really lack patience. Don't worry; since I, Ghost Lord, promised to give you information, I won't go back on my word. But first, I want to guess your identity!" Demon Eye wiped the grease from his mouth with a napkin, looking confident as if he already had some insight into Mo Ming's identity.
Mo Ming was curious about how he would guess and replied with a smile, "Sure! If you get it right, you can eat and drink for free here for a month—I'll cover it!"
"Haha, you said it! You can't trick me!" Demon Eye chuckled. "I didn't know who you were at first, but based on your skills, name, age, nationality, and the questions you've asked, I've narrowed it down."
Listening to Demon Eye's words piqued Mo Ming's interest further. He smiled lightly and said, "Go ahead and tell me."
"First of all, your skills are impressive; there aren't many people in their early twenties with such abilities. Secondly, your name is Mo Ming; being a citizen of this country greatly narrows it down. Lastly, your questions are related to the Dark Order." Demon Eye rubbed his chin thoughtfully and grinned. "If I'm guessing correctly, you must be War God Asura!"
Upon hearing this from Demon Eye, Mo Ming immediately clapped his hands in delight and said, "The Seer really is impressive! You've uncovered my identity; it seems you have some information about me after all. That's right; I am Asura."
"I do have quite a bit of information about you; however, I've never seen your face before. It's quite a coincidence that we meet here in prison," Demon Eye said as he downed a glass of wine. "Remember, you're covering my expenses for a month!"
"That's no problem as long as you stay alive to spend it," Mo Ming replied seriously. "Now tell me what important news you have about the Dark Order."
"Haha, no problem!" Demon Eye laughed a few times before continuing. "The Dark Order is an organization with influence all over the world; thirty percent of global industries are under its control. Its composition is very complex—officials, gangs, businessmen—all have their people involved. You could say it's the dynasty of the underground world!"
"I understand this clearly, don't tell me that the big news you mentioned is this," Mo Ming sneered.
Demon Eye casually rolled his eyes at Mo Ming and said, "Don't be impatient, let me finish! I guarantee it will surprise you!"
"I hope so."
"The leader of the Dark Order is someone from our country. I believe his name is Eternity, and he holds a high position in the government..."
Mo Ming interrupted him, astonished, and asked, "Who is the highest leader of the Dark Order? Eternity? Isn't it Lord?"
Ever since learning about Lord from Evil Eye, Mo Ming had always thought that Lord was the ultimate boss. Who would have thought that Demon Eye would mention another person named Eternity? This truly shocked Mo Ming.
"Yes, there is indeed someone named Lord in the Dark Order, but he is not the highest leader. According to the information I have, Eternity is the highest leader of the Dark Order!" Demon Eye said proudly as he watched Mo Ming's astonished expression.
Mo Ming took a deep breath to calm his excitement and continued, "Alright, you can go on."
"Well, I don't know much about Eternity, so let me talk about the others. Lord, Evil Eye, and Overlord are the three core figures under Eternity. Among them, Lord holds a higher status than Evil Eye and Overlord because Lord's strength surpasses that of Evil Eye and Overlord. As for Overlord and Evil Eye, they are on par with each other!" Demon Eye looked at Mo Ming and smiled, "I don't know how strong you are, but I do know that if you encounter any one of those three, you'll definitely find it challenging!"
