"Thank you for the meal, Han Ma. The dishes were superb." Clark said to the old man in attendance.

Han Ma was not alone in his service since there were at least a dozen servants alongside him. All were pretty young girls and were beautiful to boot.

​​

It did not need saying that every single one of these ladies were willing to do what was necessary in order to make our very own protagonist happy.

Unfortunately for them, our bored gamer was not one to pick these flowers from the Han Family.

Since he could be considered as the new leader of Han, it was not right to abuse his power in this family. So the Han women was definitely out of limits for our avid gamer.

"We do our best, Master Clark." Han Ma bowed low and was quite content to satisfy the needs of the new master of the Han Family.

"Hmmm... I need you to take stock on the properties of the family and its businesses. Replace any missing manpower if necessary. I will allow you to hire anyone outside the family.

I doubt that you will face difficulties in this task. Report to me directly at night fall." Our bored gamer instructed towards the old man.

With the massive deaths that the clan has incurred yesterday, it was only natural for some void to occur in consequence.

Thus, Clark could only take this approach in order to stifle this dilemma for the time being.

"I understand, Master Clark." Han Man replied meekly. He had a lot of misgivings of course, especially the process of hiring people outside of the family as it had never been done before.

There were trade secrets in some of the clan businesses that were vital to compete in the market such as pill potions and recipes that would prove detrimental once it got out.

But alas, Han Ma was not one to voice out his opinions unto his superiors. Greater men than him had lost their heads for a lot lesser reason.

"Good. Here, take this." Clark offered a storage ring towards the old man.

"Master Clark! I can't accept this!" Han Ma's eyes bulged when he got to see the item that floated in his front.

One should know that the price of this ring alone amounted to at least ten thousand spirit stones.

It was even more than the total of spirit stones that Han Ma used in his whole life combined.

"Accept it and use the resources inside. It is more than enough for you to breakthrough the 1st Stage of Innate Realm. I have great expectations from you, Han Ma."

Clark said then stood up to make his exit. He did not forget to give Han Ma a tap of encouragement on the shoulders.

"I will not fail you, Master Clark!" Han Ma pledged in a loud voice.

"I know you won't, Han Ma. I know you won't." Our bored gamer replied without looking back. After that, he was gone to pick another woman for this day's lustful interlude.

"Clean the table and don't forget to serve the best dishes for our master's lunch!" Han Ma ordered the women around him in a stern voice.

How could he miss the look of envy that flashed in the eyes of these girls?

He was quite fortunate that he was the strongest Han that remained in this ancestral home and thus free from suffering any repercussions from our bored gamer's generous grant.

Han Ma reached for the storage ring but did not open it with his consciousness yet. He waited for when the dozen or so maidservants finished cleaning the table up.

Ten minutes later and it was then that Han Ma finally broke the seal of ownership with a drop of his blood.

"Ohhh my Lord!" Han Ma was stunned upon seeing piles upon piles of spirit stones inside the ring.

"Master Clark, a Lady from the Shi Family wishes to see you. Should I let her in, Master?" A servant girl announced.

"Of course. I have been expecting her arrival. Please send her here." Our bored gamer said to the good servant girl.

He was about to call on his prospective harem members to choose from but that would have to wait for a better time. Clark waited for Shi Ling in the pristine halls from last night.

His seat of power remained in the center of the huge dome and it was there that he whistled some memorable tunes as he waited.

Almost 3 minutes to the count and his lovely guest has finally honored him with her presence.

"Thank you for sparing some of your precious time to see me, Master Clark." Shi Ling said in greetings.

She was wearing a sexy fairy dress with the hues of lavender that showcased a ripe woman that was ready for anything on the spot.

Her long straight raven hair has been turned into a curl and it was very obvious that a lot of people has tried very much indeed to make Shi Ling look a lot more appetizing for the eyes of the opposite sex.

And if truth be told, they were indeed successful in achieving the task. Shi Ling looked absolutely stunning!

"You can see me anytime. We are friends after all." Clark stood up from his chair and approached Shi Ling before him.

"What can i do for you today, Shi Ling?"He said when they were only 3 steps apart from each other.

"I would like to invite you for a birthday feast in my clan later today." Shi Ling answered but could not look our bored gamer straight in the eyes.

There was of course no birthday to be had. This was merely a sham orchestrated by the Shi Patriarch in order to rope Master Clark into the kind graces of the Shi Clan.

This act alone would fully announce to the entire of Aurora and its myriad of forces that Shi Ling remained in a close relationship with our bored gamer.

As such, even Shi Ling was played as a mere chess piece for the greater good of the clan.

Shi Ling could also not reject this sticky plot since she has valued the clan and its well being as one of her life's top priorities.

This was the reason why she worked and cultivated so hard in the Wandering Wind Sect in the first place.

"A birthday feast? It is my honor to join the party, Shi Ling. I will see you there tonight."
