“Sea Dragon,” Daisy’s face was white. However, she knew that the Sea Dragon’s condition was better than it seemed. The Sea Dragon wasn’t in critical condition.

Gao Peng wanted Goldie to hold back. He had just wanted Goldie to beat it up, not to kill it. If it really died, there would be serious repercussions. A lot of disputes would arise.

Gao Peng massaged Goldie’s thigh. “Don’t go so overboard next time. It scares people.”

Gao Peng immediately walked towards Daisy.

Daisy nervously shuffled backward two steps. She then determined that Gao Peng wouldn’t dare to do anything to her in front of so many people. She bravely stared back at Gao Peng. Her posture made it seemed like she was unyielding, but her eyes were filled with tears.

Gao Peng was speechless. Am I that scary?

Gao Peng said apologetically to Daisy, “Ms. Daisy, I’m sorry for what happened. I can give you a voucher to visit my laboratory. If you choose to, you can come join me at my laboratory.”

Daisy frowned and looked at Gao Peng in disdain. She came from a rich and powerful family in the United Kingdom. She wouldn’t need to go all the way to a laboratory in the Huaxia Region.

Gao Peng smiled mildly and decided not to explain further.

Gao Peng believed that he would be able to turn his laboratory into a world-famous destination within the decade. He had predicted that he would win this battle, but he had never expected it to be so much fun.

Using his level 27 Goldie to fight against a level 34 Sea Dragon was like bullying a small child. Of course, Gao Peng knew that the reason why Goldie had been able to win so easily was because he had activated Goldie’s passive ability a few times before the battle started.

This battle gave Gao Peng a very big confidence boost.

As long as he used his abilities properly, he would be able to create top-level, super powerful familiars in his laboratory.

Gao Peng suddenly had an idea. “Perhaps I don’t even need to get my hands dirty in the future.” As long as he could form a loyal group of followers, he could ask them to help him with various things. They could be used to catch monsters and find precious materials for him.

He would only need to conduct experiments in his laboratory.

One way to gain a loyal group of followers was to train a familiar that had mind controlling abilities, like the Giant Tarsier. He could use it to control monster trainers.

However, that would pose some problems if these monster trainers were able to escape his control. They would definitely want to destroy Gao Peng. At least, that’s how it happened in the movies.

Another way was to adopt a group of orphans and train them. He could brainwash them into becoming his loyal followers. When they grew up, they would be willing to die for him. This was a method that had been used since ancient times. During the Qin Dynasty, many of the agents trained by the palace officials had been orphans. This method also had its problems, and one of them was that it required a very long time! It was impossible to get any returns in a short period of time.

The last method was to use his personal charisma to influence others, by making people like him so much that they would be willing to die for him. However, Gao Peng thought that this method was a bit unreliable...

Gao Peng touched his own face. My own charisma... Gao Peng went into deep thought.

All these methods were basically using coercion or emotions to persuade people. The most important thing was that he himself was strong enough in times of danger. This was the safest way.

“Sigh, what a bother.” Gao Peng brushed his hair with his hands. He suddenly thought of Huang Ya and the others. They were all willing to sacrifice their lives for Grandpa for one reason or another.

But their loyalty is to Grandpa and not me. Gao Peng was very clear on this distinction.

Gao Peng was at a loss. He scratched his head and decided not to think about this issue for the time being.

Gao Peng arrived at the mountain villa, where he and Zhou Tianmin had a conversation. For Zhou Tianmin, what had happened in the competition was a minor event.

“Stay at my house and rest for another two days. Mengmeng doesn’t have class in the next few days. I’ll ask her to take you around the city. We have some unique familiars that don’t exist in Yuzhou and Chang’an. If you want, you can bring some back,” Zhou Tianmin persuaded Gao Peng.

“That won’t be necessary. Thank you, Grandpa Zhou, for the generous offer, but my grandpa hasn’t seen me for close to a week. He called me yesterday to ask me to come back quickly.” Gao Peng laughed.

Zhou Tianmin realized that he wouldn’t be able to make Gao Peng stay longer. He could only show Gao Peng his regret.

Gao Peng took a private plane back to Yuzhou City the next day.

When he arrived, a car was there to pick him up and take him back to the Southern Sky Group’s villa.

“Master Gao.” The security guard who opened the door greeted Gao Peng respectfully.

Gao Peng was a bit astonished. Although the security guards had called him Master Gao in the past, it had always felt a bit forced. He wasn’t sure if they were being sincere when they called him that, but now, he could feel that the way they called him Master Gao was completely different from how they had addressed him before.

It’s true that one needs to be capable in order to gain other people’s respect.

He smiled and nodded towards the security guard. He patted Goldie, who was behind him, on the back. “Okay, go and take a rest. You’ve been training ever since you got on the plane. Although training hard is important, it’s also important to get enough rest.”

Goldie shook its head. It stood, dignified, and said, “Master, I want to become stronger.”

“Become stronger to...?”

“So that no one can take away my money again.”

“...”

Gao Peng’s return caused quite a stir. Many of the employees at the Southern Sky Group no longer saw him as a privileged little prince, but as a proper Lord-tier monster trainer.

He was still very young, so people expected him to do great things in the future.

An empire couldn’t be held together by only one man. If Ji Hanwu had been the only powerful person in the Southern Sky Group, it didn’t matter how strong Ji Hanwu was. If he was suddenly gone, the entire company would collapse. This was how the senior officials in the government and military saw it.

It was like the reign of Emperor Qin Shi Shuang of the Qin Dynasty. He was able to conquer and unite six kingdoms into one dynasty. No one had dared to challenge his authority when he was alive. For as long as he lived, the world was his. No one was able to match his might, and he ruled with an iron fist.

However, when he died, the Qin Dynasty fell into turmoil, and it ultimately collapsed.

This was why it was important to have a strong successor.

A successor that wasn’t inferior to Ji Hanwu had emerged at the Southern Sky Group. This had greatly strengthened the company’s position.

Ji Hanwu was sitting at home waiting for Gao Peng. He had even ordered a cook to make Liangpi, Gao Peng’s favorite food. There were also tangerine sweets on the table.

Just as he placed the rice on the table, his private phone rang.

He took out his phone and frowned. There weren’t a lot of people who knew this number. People would only call this number if something major happened.

He picked up the call. “Old Ji, there’s a situation here... I know that Gao Peng has just come back, but I wouldn’t have called you if it wasn’t an emergency.”

“I knew that there would be trouble when I saw that it was you who was calling me. Tell me, what’s the situation?”

“The things in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor... they’ve come alive.”

Ji Hanwu’s thick eyebrows raised in shock!
