East Sea.
After receiving his first salary since "amnesia," Ghost rented a room near the hospital with their assistance. Despite many ill-intentioned people in society, Ghost was fortunate that both the hospital director and Gu Xin’s family, as well as his colleagues from the hospital security team, treated him well.
Especially Gu Xin. It was already widespread in the hospital that she and Ghost were in a passionate relationship, inseparable from each other. Ghost bought himself a phone and so basic living necessities, starting from scratch, building from nothing. Fortunately, the security job was decent with various hospital subsidies.
"Why are you here again?" Ghost curiously looked at the crowd in front of him blocking his door and upon closer look, weren’t they the self-proclaid "Black Sand Gang"?
"Please move, I need to open the door." Ghost was not intimidated by these people. He didn’t understand what Inner Strength was, which made him curious about the strong energy in his body. However, it didn’t matter to him now. Perhaps it was a blessing from the heavens.
"Brother, have you thought about the offer we discussed?" The leader, a brawny man, handed him a cigarette. Ghost accepted it without saying much. What’s the point of getting involved in gang life? What’s the use of more money if you can’t enjoy it alive?
"I refuse." Ghost shook his head, feigning a tone of a man of the Jianghu, "As they say, the path is wide, we each walk a different side; let’s part ways until we et in the Jianghu again."
"Brother, please hold on." At this mont, a low voice rang out from amongst the crowd, and they parted to make way. Ghost turned to see a sowhat petite middle-aged man stepping out, his eyes sharp like a wolf fixated on its prey.
This man emitted a murderous aura.
"Wolf Bro." The brawny leader bowed with respect towards the middle-aged man.
"Let introduce myself, I am the leader of the Black Sand Gang. You can call Wolf Bro." The middle-aged man extended his right hand.
"Hello, my na is Gu Li, a na I adopted just a few days ago." Ghost warmly extended his hand, and the two large hands clasped together.
Ghost’s expression changed, his smile gradually turning cold. Looking up, this so-called Wolf Bro had a smirk, and from his hand, a strong energy surged, testing Ghost.
"Wolf Bro, I won’t hold back then." Ghost sneered. In the duel between experts, there were no extravagant moves; a true master reveals their skill at once. The two of them clenched hands as Inner Strength clashed directly. The onlooking thugs had no idea what they were doing and rely felt oppressive pressure, a slight tallic taste in their mouths. The ordinary people couldn’t withstand the shock of Inner Strength; if the two exerted more force, even their livers would be in danger.
"Not bad, at the advanced stage of Soul Ergence, you have so skills." Wolf Bro smiled faintly, gradually withdrawing his Inner Strength. Ghost didn’t plan to "chase" either. It was just a test after all, and since this was their first eting, there was no need for mutual destruction.
"Wolf Bro’s strength is impressive too." Ghost made a gesture of respect and complinted.
"Brother, if you join my Black Sand Gang, the position of Vice Leader is yours. What do you say?" Wolf Bro spread his hands, and the black cloak behind him slowly opened, "Fa, fortune, endless wealth and beauties, what do you say?"
"What, the Boss actually wants to promote this kid to Vice Leader?"
"Don’t underestimate this kid. Back at the hospital, he single-handedly took down over a dozen of our brothers with ease, and we couldn’t even lay a hand on him."
The surrounding thugs were abuzz, curiously eyeing this young man in front of them, and naturally, they were shocked by Wolf Bro’s decision.
"Haha, I’m honored that Wolf Bro values , but... each person has their own ambitions. I’ll pass. Farewell then." After saying this, Ghost turned and left.
"If you ever change your mind, feel free to contact anyti." Wolf Bro said from behind, waving his hand to signal everyone to disperse.

"Where on earth is Ghost?" Soul Destroyer wandered aimlessly along the streets of East Sea with Demoness, while Zheng Ji had promised to mobilize resources to find him. However... there was no news so far.
"Tomorrow’s the Boss’s wedding, aren’t we supposed to go back?" Soul Destroyer glanced at the date on his phone. Tomorrow was Ye Shikai and Chen Yuxin’s wedding day, yet till now, Ye Shikai hadn’t contacted them, and Jeddon’s replies were lackluster.
"Hmph, I think the Boss doesn’t really care about us. It’s just wedding security work. The Chen family can handle it, especially the Netherworld Empress. She seems all too eager for us all to leave." Demoness scoffed. She always resented Chen Yuxin’s interference in the affairs of the Netherworld Palace. For this reason, she’d even held a grudge against Ye Shikai. Especially now, Ye Shikai hadn’t personally co to East Sea to find them but stayed in Yanjing getting married, indulging in decadence.
"Calm down, the Boss isn’t like that. Perhaps he has his own troubles." Soul Destroyer tried to counsel, "Anyway, I don’t feel like attending a wedding. Besides, finding Ghost is more important."
"Tch, let’s continue searching."
Just as everyone was worried about Ghost, far away in Yanjing, Ye Shikai was also filled with anxiety. It felt like everyone around him was leaving one by one, and at the mont, he didn’t even have a single confidante.
"Ring, ring." Suddenly, his long-ignored phone rang. Ye Shikai glanced at it—an unfamiliar number.
"Whoever it is, I might as well answer." Ye Shikai muttered to himself.
"Hello, who is it?"
"Haha, brother, congratulations on your ’blossoming romance!’" A teasing voice ca from the other end, and Ye Shikai imdiately recognized who it was.
War God, Wang Kai. After coming out of Atlantis, he had returned to the War God Temple in Africa. It seed... there had been no news from him for quite a while.
"Congratulations on what? It’s a ss over here." Ye Shikai mocked himself.
"Really? I rember that new sister-in-law should have quite the skills, right? How could you still have worries?" Wang Kai chatted casually with Ye Shikai.
"Forget it, just co to Yanjing. We’ll talk when you get here." Ye Shikai sighed lightly.
"Co where? I’m already here, staying at a hotel. I even prepared a wedding gift for you." Wang Kai suddenly paused, filled with curiosity, "Where’s the Moon God? Shouldn’t she be by your side? Don’t tell ... are you afraid of your wife?"
"She’s gone to East Sea. Sothing urgent ca up." Ye Shikai hesitated, not revealing Ghost’s situation to Wang Kai.
