Realm of the Night God

Chapter 575: The Person in Charge

Regarding the issue of Shi Kai, Yang Haoran shook his head with a wry smile, indicating that he did not have a good strategy at the moment.

Seeing Yang Haoran shake his head, Shi Kai then turned his gaze to Boss Huo, and Yang Haoran also turned his gaze to Boss Huo.

When Boss Huo saw the two of them looking at him, his smile became even more pronounced, giving a sense of confidence, as if he had the upper hand.

"I do have a few ideas, but I'm not sure if they're feasible or not. I'll need to discuss it with the three of you to get a result."

Boss Huo said with a smile. The three people he mentioned, apart from Yang Haoran and Shi Kai, also included the second-in-command, the old woman.

If it were Shi Kai, he would most likely have already forgotten about the old woman, or even if he hadn't forgotten, he would have excluded her.

However, Boss Huo did not do so. From his words, it seemed that he had placed the old woman on an equal footing with himself.

Hearing Boss Huo's words, Yang Haoran's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Boss Huo, as if waiting for him to continue.

Shi Kai was quite surprised. Boss Huo including the old woman seemed to have caught him off guard.

The old woman naturally understood the implication of Boss Huo's words, so she quickly spoke up: "This matter should be decided by the three divine envoys. The old lady should not get involved. Once the three divine envoys have reached a conclusion, just give me the orders.""Hehe, you can't say that. Now that the whereabouts of the divine envoys are unknown, and you are the Deputy Divine Envoy of Yunchuan City, how can we discuss this matter without you? After all, you represent the Yin Division of Yunchuan City, which is your territory."

Boss Huo said with a smile.

The old woman was well aware that even if Boss Huo said this, she would not have the right to negotiate when facing the three of them. If she didn't understand this basic principle, how could she have held the position of the second-in-command of the Yin Division of Yunchuan City?

However, despite understanding this, hearing Boss Huo's words still made her feel very happy, and she also developed a sense of gratitude towards Boss Huo, as at least he did not ignore her existence.

The old woman was the second-in-command of the Yin Division of Yunchuan City, so respecting her was equivalent to respecting the entire Yin Division of Yunchuan City. Therefore, Boss Huo's words not only made the old woman feel grateful, but also made the other Night Watch members present feel grateful, and their good feelings towards him became even stronger.

In fact, Yang Haoran was also very polite to them, and he was very considerate of their feelings in his words and actions. Why didn't they have such a sense of gratitude towards Yang Haoran, and their good feelings towards him were not as strong?

The reason was simple: in their eyes, Boss Huo was stronger than Yang Haoran!

The same thing, when done by someone with power, would have a completely different impact compared to someone without power.

Although Yang Haoran was not a person without power, at this moment, in the eyes of the others, including Shi Kai, he was weaker than Boss Huo.

Yang Haoran noticed the old woman's and the other Night Watch members' reactions, but his expression remained unchanged, and his smile was still the same.

"Boss Huo is right. We three are not as familiar with Yunchuan City as you are. Having you participate in the discussion will be very helpful to us."

Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Seeing that Yang Haoran also said this, Shi Kai had no choice but to say nothing more. He tilted his hat brim, looked at Boss Huo for a moment, and then turned his gaze back to Yang Haoran.

"For this operation, I think we should let Huo Divine Envoy be in charge. What do you think, Yang Divine Envoy?"

Shi Kai asked.

"I was just thinking the same thing. With Huo Divine Envoy in charge of this operation, it will be absolutely foolproof. Hehe."

Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Shi Kai's face broke into a smile as he looked at Boss Huo and said, "Since Yang Divine Envoy has no objections either, I'll have to trouble Boss Huo for this operation."

Yang Haoran had thought that Boss Huo would delay, because if things went well, it would be fine, but if they didn't, someone would have to take responsibility, and then Luo Yao would blame the person in charge.

But to Yang Haoran's surprise, Boss Huo actually nodded with a smile on his face, without any intention to delay.

"Since you two divine envoys think so highly of me, Huo, then I will humbly comply. I will be responsible for this operation, and if any problems arise, all the responsibility will be borne by me alone," Boss Huo said with a smile.

"Divine Envoy Huo, that's too much. Since we're carrying out this task together, if any problems arise, we should share the responsibility. It wouldn't be right to let Divine Envoy Huo bear it alone," Shi Kai said with a smile.

Although they said this, the three of them were well aware that if any accidents occurred, the person in charge would undoubtedly bear the majority of the responsibility, while the other two would bear much less.

Yang Haoran had been a little puzzled as to why Boss Huo was willing to be the one to take the lead, but after thinking it over, his doubts were resolved.

If an accident occurred, the person in charge would bear a heavy responsibility, but if this operation was successfully completed, the person in charge would also reap the greatest rewards.

In Yang Haoran's view, the reason Boss Huo was willing to be the one to take the lead was that he had his sights set on the rewards that would come with successfully completing the operation.

This operation was personally arranged by Guardian Luo Yao, and if Boss Huo served as the person in charge and successfully completed the operation, he might even earn Luo Yao's recognition. To receive the recognition of a Guardian is the highest honor for any Burial Master, and the benefits would be numerous.

Yang Haoran sighed inwardly, realizing this, and no longer doubted Boss Huo's actions. No one works for free, and Boss Huo was no fool - he wouldn't take on this leading role if there weren't substantial benefits to be gained.

However, not just anyone can be the one to take the lead. Without absolute qualifications and strength, one wouldn't even have the right to do so. Among the three of them, only Boss Huo had this qualification.

"Now let me share my thoughts with you all and see if they can work," Boss Huo said with a smile, then laid out his plan.

Although Yang Haoran didn't particularly like Boss Huo, he had to admit that Boss Huo was indeed a talented individual. Based solely on the information he had obtained from the old woman, Boss Huo had come up with a decent plan in such a short time, which was something an ordinary person could not have accomplished - his mind was truly sharp.

According to Boss Huo's arrangement, they would divide into two groups to carry out this task. One person would lead the other Night Watch members to guard the Death God Temple, luring the enemy to appear, while the other two would deal with the ghosts appearing within the city.

The task of dealing with the ghosts outside was assigned to Yang Haoran and Shi Kai, which was a cushy job, as they could obtain the ghosts.

As for Boss Huo, he would remain inside the Death God Temple to confront the attacking enemies. This task might not be as rewarding as subduing the ghosts, but it was still a good deal, as the attackers were mostly Spirit Masters, and the souls of Spirit Masters could be exchanged for valuable soul pills in the Underworld. As long as they slew the Spirit Masters and took their souls, the benefits would be substantial.

If compared, the benefits of dealing with Spirit Masters might even be greater than those of dealing with ghosts, although the risks would also be much higher.

Regarding Boss Huo's arrangement, Yang Haoran and Shi Kai had no objections. Yang Haoran didn't know what Shi Kai was thinking, but he himself didn't mind - whether it was dealing with Spirit Masters or ghosts, he was fine with whatever Boss Huo had arranged.

The Night Watch led by the old woman, as well as the supporting Spirit Police, talisman masters, and exorcists, their task was simply to cooperate with the three of them. Although there was still danger involved, with the three of them taking the lead, the danger for the others would be reduced significantly.
