Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 216 Heir of Ghost Valley

As the pot-bellied man emerged, Black Tiger huffed in displeasure. "Qian Taishao, you’re the principal of this school. You tell us what we should do now."

If it really came to a fight, Black Tiger knew he would be outmatched.

With a sleazy smile, Qian Taishao looked at Wu Tian and the others. "Gentlemen, I believe you’ve already had your first encounter. The Young Master, whom you know as Heibai Zi, said that brute force won’t suffice to deal with you. Those hundreds of death soldiers have already proven one thing—you are beyond the power of ordinary men."

Then, Qian Taishao clapped his hands, and several more people walked out of the school gate.

When Xia Qian saw them—the very employees who had abandoned their families—her face flushed with fury. "Tell me, why did you resign?"

"We wanted to see the Young Master."

"That’s right, we’ve always belonged to the Young Master."

"Long live the Young Master!"

These people also seemed bewitched, murmuring the title ’Young Master’ as if in a trance.

Qian Taishao clapped his hands again. "See? They have been hypnotized by me. I am obsessed with the Young Master. Since they follow me, they are obsessed with him too."

As he spoke, Qian Taishao produced a necklace from which a pocket watch hung.

Although Xia Qian and Qin Yuhan were unfamiliar with the Martial Path, they could still tell what kind of man Qian Taishao was. He was a Hypnotist. Hypnotists weren’t rare in the city, but their abilities were usually limited to helping insomniacs get some sleep. Qian Taishao, however, possessed the ability to hypnotize a person into doing his bidding.

Seeing the astonished looks on Xia Qian’s and Qin Yuhan’s faces, Qian Taishao was immensely pleased and proud.

Wu Tian, however, merely shook his head. "Child’s play."

What? Qian Taishao wondered if he had heard correctly.

A moment later, his cunning eyes brimming with confidence, Qian Taishao asked, "Do you know who I am?

"I come from National Security. I have special abilities. From a young age, I was valued by the Head of State and sent to a special facility for training.

"There are many people with special abilities there, but I was the only one who made it out on my own merit.

"My hypnotism is fundamentally different from the street-corner hypnotism you know."

The more he spoke, the more frenzied his expression became. He was far too confident in himself—perhaps bordering on delusional.

Yet Wu Tian simply shook his head again. In his eyes, both Black Tiger and this Qian Taishao were lunatics. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

At that moment, Wu Tian slowly extended a hand, leaving everyone wondering what he was about to do.

CLICK! A sharp snap of his fingers broke the silence.

"Who is the Young Master?" Wu Tian asked placidly.

Black Tiger and Qian Taishao both chuckled. "We will not betray the Young Master. Everyone here is willing to die for the Young Master."

But their words had barely faded when someone beside them answered, "Actually, I’ve never met him. I’ve only chatted with him on WeChat... He’s a good person."

"I’ve never seen him either; we only talked on WeChat. Whenever I was sad, he would always comfort me."

"That’s right."

One after another, the previously frenzied individuals began to speak about the Young Master.

Black Tiger’s face turned ashen. To think he had just claimed that no one here would betray the Young Master! He immediately roared, "What are you doing? Have you all forgotten? Have you forgotten how much the Young Master cares for us? We all swore our lives belonged to him!"

"Don’t blame them," Qian Taishao said, his expression grim as he stared at Wu Tian. "They’ve all been hypnotized by this man."

Black Tiger’s face contorted with rage. "Useless fools! If only their loyalty to the Young Master was as strong as mine, they wouldn’t have been hypnotized!"

CLICK! Wu Tian snapped his fingers again.

These subordinates knew far too little about the Young Master. Wu Tian hadn’t gotten a single piece of critical information, and he had no intention of letting it end like this.

As the sound echoed, Black Tiger’s eyes glazed over. He suddenly broke into a strange laugh. "The Young Master... the Young Master is so good to me.

"Whenever I’m troubled, he can immediately guess what’s wrong. Even though I’ve never met him... the Young Master is truly wonderful. My life, the life of Black Tiger, is worthless. But the Young Master is different. He is a successor of Ghost Valley, destined to dominate the world from the moment he appears!"

Qian Taishao was stunned. Black Tiger’s willpower was formidable. Qian Taishao himself had tried and failed to hypnotize him in the past. To think he would be hypnotized just moments after his boast... wasn’t Black Tiger just slapping his own face?

"Black Tiger, stop talking!" Qian Taishao rushed forward, grabbing Black Tiger’s shoulders and shaking him violently. "You can’t! You can’t reveal any more about the Young Master, do you understand?"

But under Wu Tian’s control, Black Tiger kept speaking. "The Young Master is an incredible person. He said... there are things that make him unhappy, namely Wu Tian’s existence! I once asked him why he cared about Wu Tian, but he wouldn’t say anything. Every time I’m unhappy, the Young Master always finds a way to cheer me up. But when he is unhappy, I can’t share his burden. Wu Tian, it’s you... It’s all your fault!"

Enraged, Qian Taishao couldn’t let Black Tiger continue. He threw a punch. But Black Tiger kept talking, so Qian Taishao threw another, and another. Tears streamed down Qian Taishao’s face. He and Black Tiger were brothers who had grown up together, men who would die for one another. Yet, for the sake of the Young Master, Qian Taishao steeled his heart and struck his friend.

But Black Tiger seemed to feel no pain. His eyes remained mesmerized as he continued to speak of the Young Master.

Gritting his teeth, Qian Taishao finally pulled a fruit knife from his pocket. Weeping uncontrollably, he plunged the knife deep into Black Tiger’s neck.

Blood splattered, streaming down. Only then did the mesmerized look in Black Tiger’s eyes finally vanish.

"Thank you... It was me... I failed the Young Master."

Black Tiger harbored no hatred towards Qian Taishao. Even in death, he felt that Qian Taishao had done the right thing. He himself had leaked information about the Young Master. He deserved to die.

Black Tiger’s body collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

The commotion at the school gate drew everyone out from inside. They seemed to come from all walks of life—men, women, and even elementary school students. At this moment, however, they were all under Qian Taishao’s spell, just like Xia Qian’s former employees.

"All of you, block him for me! It is your great fortune to die for the Young Master!"

With that, Qian Taishao turned to leave.

"You think you can get away?"

Wu Tian’s words made Qian Taishao startle, but then he burst into booming laughter.

"They will block you for me. There are two thousand people here. How long will it take you to kill them all? By the time you’re finished with them, I’ll have already left Peng City."

Just then, the people around stared at Qian Taishao’s neck as if they had seen a ghost.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Qian Taishao asked, taken aback and completely bewildered.
