A green light covers me, but now I am nowhere to be found... and I, right now, am Ghostfreak! I become intangible and float down into the ground, and I find a coffin, and I enter it, and before me is a dead corpse... and the skin has already gotten rotten, and there is barely any flesh on the bones; only the chest and upper body even have any flesh... This is insane because she should have been dead for about one year now, but her body has not even rotted fully yet, and this is definitely because Chi Ying Li was the gatekeeper of Ta Lo, so she was able to use Chi. Sure, after she left Ta Lo, she lost most of her power, but I bet she still had some Chi, and that's the reason her body is not just bones right now...
I try to do something I have never done before... I try to possess this body... and, well, it works... barely. I can't even move this body; I can only fly and become intangible, which is why I turned into Ghostfreak in the first place. In this way, no dirt or bugs or anything else would be on Ying Li's body when she gets put in a freezer... and when I floated up from the ground in Ying's body, Xu was able to see me, and he was shocked and stunned, and his hands were shaking... he could not believe what he saw… It was a rotten corpse, but still, it was his wife... Xu knew it... but before Xu could even say a word, the body floated inside the big freezer, and the door of the freezer closed...
And then with a green light, I pretty much come out of nowhere... "Your wife is not fully back to life yet, but we have taken the right steps. I will bring your wife back in 2 or 3 years max, but till then, prove to me that this is worth it. Prove to me you are useful, Xu, and then I shall grant your wish..." I spoke in a calm tone, almost sounding like I knew everything... Not only that, what I just did right now was too much of a shock for Xu...
And without thinking, Xu spoke, "Fine, but if in the next 3 years you don't bring my wife back, then... even if it ends me, I will end you, James Lee..." And Xu spoke in a cold tone, almost like he was making a vow, and I smiled and said back, "Oh, right? Are you kidding me? You have good jokes, old man. Now come on, give me a report on the Ten Rings. I want all the information you have about your organization, and I also want all the information you have about the world and everything. Also, make sure you put them on a pen drive; that's your first task." I spoke in a calm tone as I looked outside the window, and the base was in a mess, to say the least. Half of it was broken, no thanks to me...
"I'll be leaving for now, and also, go easy on your children. If your wife does come back and learns about what you did, trust me, you will have bigger problems than me, old man." I speak in an amused tone as I walk near the window, and with a casual jump, I fall out of the window... and Xu walks closer to the window, and before he knew it, there was a green flash! And then there was no one....
"Strong, knowledgeable, inhuman powers... James Lee... who are you?" Xu muttered to himself. It could be said that now that the Ten Rings were no longer on Xu, he was more clear-minded, and he thought about everything that happened this night... He was angry but at the same time amused... This seemingly smug young man turned out to be some sort of knowledgeable monster with powers far beyond his imagination... Xu was amused, to say the least.
And regarding the Ten Rings, which Leo took with him, Xu had already thought things through about the Ten Rings. He thought they were useless since they don't work against Leo in the first place. What use is a useless weapon to him? ...Xu was already planning how to play things out in a way he would get the most profit out of this ordeal. His mind, which was like a hundred-year-old king, worked in a way that he could have the most profit...
1. Bad thing, I lost my Ten Rings...
2. I might have found a way to bring Ying Li back... Good thing.
3. I actually have a leader now. I never saw myself fit to be king anyway...
4. If this James Lee actually does what he said, well, he will for sure be the ruler of this era... and I will be his sword, his weapon...
5. I don't have a reason to not listen to him because if I try to go against him, he will destroy me and take what I have by force, so it's better to work with him for now and get as much profit …
Things were set. Xu had made up his mind because the advantages of this deal are more than the disadvantages...
