Hao Qiang frowned as he looked at the blankness. It was as if the butler had just disappeared without a trace. As a high-level superior cultivator, even if he was kidnapped, he would still be safe!

Thus, if the opponent wasn't a top-notch expert, it would be … Familiar people.

Excluding those experts who might be on the top tier, Hao Qiang only knew a few of the top tier experts. However, none of them had any reason to kidnap Guan Jia, so only those familiar with her were left on the list. Who was most familiar with the butler?

Even if the butler's life was just a blank sheet of paper, before this, he was either at the Hao family's old house or was following Zhang Tie later on, and the people he had contact with were also very few. Basically, they were all people he was familiar with, but if it was these people, then the butler wouldn't answer his call, so he excluded those he knew.

Thus, the target was only the people that the butler met when he was reading outside.

However, Hao Qiang and the others had only heard about the past of the butler. They didn't know which one of these people had this kind of ability, and they didn't even know what their motive was.

In this way, the matter became even more difficult.

When Hao Qiang thought of this, he couldn't help but frown.

"Go check out our friends at Q University." In the end, Hao Qiang said helplessly.

Lei Li nodded, turned around and walked out.

A sleepless night. When Qi Mengxi and the rest woke up the next day, they found out about the disappearance of the butler and became very worried.

"Did you find out who did it?" Ouyang Ruo Bing frowned.

Hao Qiang shook his head and said, "I already told Lei Li to go investigate. "I suspect that his former friends at Q University did it. The goal is obvious, and we should be able to determine the approximate goal very soon."

The few of them nodded in agreement with Hao Qiang's words.

There had been too many things that had happened recently. Qi Mengxi was so worried that she felt a twinge of heartache as she looked at Hao Qiang's gloomy expression.

The phone's ringtone quickly pulled everyone's thoughts back to reality.

Hao Qiang looked at the caller ID and picked up the phone in confusion.

"I heard your housekeeper went missing?" Before Hao Qiang could open his mouth to speak, Vice Commander Liang had already spoken.

Hao Qiang didn't know why this matter would attract the attention of the military, so he replied with a puzzled expression.

"I think I know who did it. "Furthermore, that person is the target that the military has entrusted to you." Deputy Liang said solemnly.

Hearing Vice Commander Liang's words, Hao Qiang's heart turned cold. This was the first time since their cooperation with the military that the military had taken the initiative to entrust them with a mission. Moreover, this mission was related to Guan Jia, so it immediately attracted his attention.

"May I ask what kind of mission it is?" Hao Qiang questioned.

"It's not convenient to say over the phone. I hope you can come to the military department personally. Our private car is already waiting for you outside." With that, he hung up the phone.

"What's going on?" Jiang Lin asked doubtfully.

"There is news about Guan Jia. I want to go to the military. I'll leave this place to you." Hao Qiang said in a serious tone.

Seeing Hao Qiang's serious expression, Jiang Lin also solemnly nodded his head.

The moment Hao Qiang finished changing his clothes and walked out of the ironworks building, a military car silently stopped in front of him. Without any hesitation, Hao Qiang sat on it.

The person driving the car was a dark man around 30 years old with a valiant aura. If Hao Qiang didn't know that this man was from the military and had met him a few times before, he would have thought that he was actually a big brother from the underworld.

The dark man's car drove smoothly and quickly. Moreover, the Hao family noticed that the two of them walked in an inconspicuous and remote area. Sometimes, they would even walk in a place barely long enough for a car to pass by. Furthermore, the route was too winding, so much so that Hao Qiang did not even know where he was. However, the dark man still calmly drove the car at an average speed through the city as if he was at home.

While the car was spinning, Hao Qiang successfully arrived at the military headquarters. Following the police officer, he arrived at a spacious meeting room.

Inside the meeting room, it was not only Vice General Liang who was waiting for him. Marshal Liang had not seen him for a long time. Looking at the rare seriousness in their eyes, Hao Qiang's heart chilled. He felt that this mission shouldn't be simple.

Seeing Hao Qiang arrive, the Marshal nodded his head. Vice Captain Liang, who was beside him, understood and pulled out a chair for Hao Qiang to sit on.

"It's about to start." Deputy Liang said in a low voice.

Hao Qiang looked at him with a puzzled expression. Could it be that someone wanted to come?

As he thought about this, the meeting room sank into darkness. At this moment, Hao Qiang noticed a bright white light slowly flashing on both sides of him. Within those white lights, a few familiar figures appeared, looking solemnly at the marshal in front of them.

Hao Qiang looked at those familiar faces that appeared frequently in the military newspapers in shock. At almost the same time, he understood what kind of big meeting he was participating in.

Although he did not understand the purpose of this meeting, Hao Qiang knew that he had his own motives. Thus, he wisely chose to sit quietly in his seat and wait for things to develop together with Deputy Liang.

"I don't know what's the point of this discussion, just directly send someone to bomb his lair. There's no need to waste so much effort." An old man with a powerful build shouted.

The marshal frowned at him. "You're too high-profile, you're not suitable."

Hearing the marshal's reply, the elder did not reply. "It's precisely because you've always been so considerate that you've allowed him to be so arrogant."

"Humph, he's just an old man who only knows how to beat and kill every day. No wonder he was always suppressed by others." The gentle old man said.

Hearing the old man's voice, the strong looking old man glared at him, as if he was prepared to charge forward and skin him at any time.

Although Hao Qiang didn't know what conflicts existed between the two of them, he could tell that the enmity between the two of them had been accumulating for quite a long time.

"Alright, now is the time to discuss serious matters. You've been fighting for the rest of your lives, can you calm down?" With a headache, he glared at the two of them.

The two of them glared at each other and no longer paid any attention to each other.

"I can privately lead the troops to encircle and annihilate them." The person who had been silent all this while suddenly spoke.

When Hao Qiang saw that person, his heart tightened and the aura around him changed. It turned sharp and was filled with killing intent.

The marshal glanced at him and signaled for him to be patient. Looking at him, Hao Qiang retracted his fighting spirit.

"I don't want the military to take action this time. The consequences will be too big so I have sent someone else." The marshal suddenly said.

Everyone was slightly surprised to hear his words.

When Marshal Haoqiang signalled to him, he nodded his head and pressed a green button on the table in front of Hao Qiang. Hao Qiang could clearly see that those people had all turned to look at him.

"I believe that everyone is familiar with the organization. As a member of the government's Dark Group, I believe a lot of people have collaborated with them before. This is the current Emperor, Hao Qiang." The marshal said.

Everyone looked at Hao Qiang with a hint of curiosity. Even though there was quite a distance between them, Hao Qiang still noticed the sharp gazes from those few people.

"The dynasty has long since been annihilated, and the government's Dark Group is now called the 'Ghost Domain'. Why don't you look for them?" The strong looking old man was the first to retort.

However, this time, the gentle old man looked at Hao Qiang who seemed to be deep in thought. Before the marshal could even open his mouth, he had already pulled the strong old man over.

After saying something in his ear, that old man Kong Wu looked at Hao Qiang in surprise and did not say anything else.

Only now did Hao Qiang realize that the two of them were actually together.

Did they really not fight every day? Even in such an environment, Hao Qiang couldn't help but think about it.

"I heard that [Empire] has been re-established. Looks like it's true. I just didn't expect that the marshal would come looking for them so soon."

Hearing this voice, Hao Qiang raised his eyebrows provocatively and said, "I heard that General Yang Ning is now the person in charge of [Ghost Domain]. I wonder if this [Ghost Domain] is better than our dynasty?"

Hearing Hao Qiang's words, everyone turned to look at Yang Ning.

Hearing Hao Qiang's words, Yang Ning's face contorted for a moment. However, he quickly returned to his usual solemn expression. He looked at Hao Qiang and said, "Thanks to Hao Qiang's concern, [Ghost Domain] is really useful."

Hearing this reply, Hao Qiang smiled and did not say anything else. I've long heard that [Ghost Domain] isn't as easy to control as I thought, especially that [Underworld King] that I've never heard of. Looks like our beloved General Yang Ning isn't having a good time recently, probably being on guard against the backlash from [Ghost Domain].

Knowing what Hao Qiang's smile meant, Yang Ning's expression froze and he no longer said anything.

The marshal, who was at the side, did not say a word. After the two of them finished, he slowly started to choke.

"Then it's decided." As he said this, he pressed the button on the table in front of him. Instantly, those people disappeared from the room and the lights lit up.

Hao Qiang looked at him in confusion. From start to finish, the few of them had been acting like they were trying to solve a riddle. Up till now, he still didn't know what had happened and just accepted a quest in a daze.

Looking at Hao Qiang's puzzled expression, the two knew that he did not understand anything. The Marshal waved his hand and Deputy Liang brought him out to explain slowly as he immersed himself in playing the game on his phone. Hao Qiang was too familiar with his usual unrighteous attitude. In the end, he didn't say anything and just followed Vice-Captain Liang out.
