Chapter 216: From now on, I call the shots here

As Yang Haoran's gaze fell upon him, Master Wu's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken a bit involuntarily.

Yang Haoran had many conversations with the man in black, but Master Wu didn't quite understand them. Terms like "opening heaven soul" and "opening earth soul" were beyond his current grasp, so he couldn't make much sense of them.

However, what the man in black said to Yang Haoran just before leaving was crystal clear to him. The man asked Yang Haoran to handle things cleanly. Did this mean that Yang Haoran was going to take action against them?

Unlike Master Wu, the other two Night Watch members remained immersed in the sorrow of losing the Death Mark Seal. Apart from this, they paid no attention to anything else, let alone details.

Even though the man in black had left, their minds were still buzzing, unable to break free from grief and disappointment.

However, they did hear what the man in black said to Yang Haoran as he left.

Although they heard it, their interpretation of those words was entirely different from Master Wu's. They never delved deep into understanding the meaning. Master Wu thought that the man in black's "handle it cleanly" meant eliminating those who knew too much to prevent any negative impact on Yin Division and the man in black himself.

But these two thought differently. They believed that "handling it cleanly" meant cleaning up the scene, especially since it was strewn with corpses.

Anyone not a fool wouldn't entertain such thoughts. Yet, they weren't fools, but their focus remained on the forcibly extracted Death Mark Seal within them.

Besides the Death Mark Seal, their minds had no room for anything else, and they couldn't think as much as Master Wu.

Because of their excessive concern for the Death Mark Seal, they harbored significant dissatisfaction towards Yang Haoran at this moment.

If it weren't for Yang Haoran's loose tongue, their Death Mark Seals wouldn't have been forcibly removed.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

Even at the moment the Death Mark Seal was forcibly removed, even Master Wu couldn't help feeling resentment towards Yang Haoran.

Previously, with the man in black present, the three dared not show their dissatisfaction. Now that he was gone, Master Wu, still aware of the situation, kept his dissatisfaction hidden. However, the other two were different; not only did they show their dissatisfaction on their faces, but their gazes toward Yang Haoran also carried strong resentment.

Yang Haoran didn't pay much attention to the quarrel between the three.

As for why Master Wu suddenly stood up for him at this moment, Yang Haoran had his own judgment. During the argument, he remained silent, wearing a smiling face, and continued to walk towards the main seat in the hall step by step.

When Master Wu's momentum completely overwhelmed the other two Night Watch members, the argument concluded. The two backed down, and the victory belonged to Master Wu, though he couldn't find any joy in it.

At this moment, Yang Haoran also stopped in his tracks.

The three seemed to sense something and turned their gaze towards Yang Haoran. In that look, they saw Yang Haoran sitting with a smile on the main seat.

This scene changed the expressions of Master Wu and the other two simultaneously.

Although they had not been Night Watch for a long time, they had been to this hall before. They knew who the main seat belonged to and who had the qualifications to sit there.

Yet, Yang Haoran was now sitting in that position, which meant something significant. The other two didn't think much about it, but Master Wu had a guess about what it meant, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster.

"Weren't we just arguing well? Why has it suddenly stopped?" Yang Haoran looked at the three and asked with a smile.

For this question, Master Wu wisely chose to remain silent. He thought it would be better to keep his mouth shut at this moment.

The other two Night Watch members, however, didn't think as much as Master Wu.

One of them, pointing at Yang Haoran with disbelief, exclaimed, "Yang Haoran, this is the seat reserved for the divine envoy. As a Night Watch, how dare you sit in this position? Are you trying to rebel?"

"Rebel?" Yang Haoran chuckled and then crossed his legs, lightly sliding his right finger over the side of the seat. He said with a smile, "I never thought of rebelling. Don't falsely accuse me. The reason I dare to sit in this position is because, from now on, this seat belongs to me, Yang Haoran. And as for Lecheng Yin Division, from this moment forward, I call the shots."
