No one involved in crime dared cross his path or interfere in his business. He did not even need to make a move to keep people in line. And if people acted out of line, they would not know how they ended up in the real underworld.

Now, Hu Lei found herself in a position where she could take over the unwanted crown as the new mastermind or leave things to follow the natural course. Yuan Haoran had, without consideration for her, left everything he possessed, both legal and illegal to her.

This inheritance was a curse to Hu Lei. It made her wonder if Yuan Haoran wanted to atone for his mistakes or punish her for being the only person who thwarted his plans.

When she learned of his move, she was angry. She had no intentions of even accepting the things he left, except maybe his cool car collection. However, the more she thought about it, the more she realised that she could not ignore the dark empire.

After all, that dark empire she now owned was her original home. She remembered her former chaotic life with her father around the world and thought of everything she saw in the seedy underbelly in the shadows of the world.

Yes, she could ignore everything and keep leaving her peaceful life in Supreme City.

But, as she came to realise after a lot of thought, she wanted to live more than a life of tea parties. While it was perfect to have a mostly normal life in Azure Woods, it was not for her. She still had a lot of fuel in her tanks to wreak havoc in the world.

Perhaps, she really believed she could make a difference in the bad world she grew up in and make life better. Or maybe, she was just a person who wanted more excitement. The reason she made up her mind to take up the dark crown did not matter.

.....

She was going to rebuild and change the criminal underworld.

Zhong Feng noticed his cute wife looking a little lost in her thoughts. He knew she was thinking about the matter of being a criminal overlord. As he had promised her, he would support the decision she made regarding Yuan Haoran’s inheritance.

And he already knew the choice she would make before she did. Before she told him her decision, he had sorted out most of the information on Yuan Haoran’s businesses and networks. The access he received during their short stay on Martial Island made it a piece of cake.

Still, he never wanted Hu Lei to do anything if it did not make her happy. He had promised himself that he would go to all lengths to give her a blissful life forever.

“You do not have to do this if you are having doubts about it.” He lightly caressed her face.

Hu Lei smiled at him. “I know. But I have been a part of the underworld since before I was born. I want to know I did something for someone else like me. Even if it is a cruel world and it always will be, I think it will be better if I am holding the blade.”

“You are a very frightening woman.” Zhong Feng chuckled in his low voice.

“You know you love me.” Hu Lei said smugly.

“Don’t forget that when you are ruling the universe with an iron fist.” Zhong Feng kissed her lips.

“I would never forget you. You know that already.” Hu Lei said against his lips.

The two of them got a little hot and heated and almost forgot about the ongoing game. Fortunately, the ever-reliable Zhong Feng remembered to keep away Hu Lei’s little grabby hands from his person before she got too crazy right there and then. From experience, he knew she could forget herself sometimes and become quite ravenous in the most inappropriate places.

She pouted as usual at being stopped, but she still let go of her hot but reserved man. She would get him back for that later. After a short moment, she pressed the small call button on the side of the comfortable couch. The door to the private room opened, and the same man in a black military-style uniform entered the room.

“Can you make arrangements for us to experience a different escape room?” Hu Lei asked.

She had not forgotten about their earlier discussion. Since Zhong Feng was interested in the design, it would be better if they could see it from the inside. It might inspire him and give him something to do while she handled business.

“Of course, Boss. We have a few contingency rooms for the competition in case of unexpected situations. Unless you are interested in a normal escape room from the array of entertainment options in the hotel.” Frank told her with a slight smile on his face.

“Just arrange something good after the game is finished.” Hu Lei did not explain further.

“Would you like to find some people to play in the room?” He asked.

Hu Lei looked at Zhong Feng and thought about how he figured out the location of the keys within a moment. “Sure, find a few interesting people with some skill. Do not let me be bored.”

Frank nodded with a strange smirk. “I know some people who have been looking forward to meeting you. I am sure they will be only too happy to oblige.”

“Make sure these contestants do not die in the game. My darling does not like it.” She added, pointing to the screen before he left. “And keep them around. I might have some use for them later.”

The couple looked at each other once again with an unspoken communication between their eyes. Frank saw their usual sickly sweet love and snorted before he left. He knew what to expect from the unlikely couple, but it still disgusted him.

How did a proud, self-proclaimed child of hell like himself become doomed to serve lovesick bosses? Unfortunately, his psychopathology imbued him with a twisted and unbreakable loyalty to his master. Like a contract spirit beast in cultivation legends, he had to follow the bond until his death.

His original master had told him his plans to leave his empire to Hu Lei.

The information did not bother him because she was special. He knew he could follow her without qualms. It was not just her physical strength although her power was indisputable. The strength was beyond the unreasonable power in her. He could still remember the altercation between them on that ship that made him lose an eye.

And in that fight, he brought a gun, and she only had a knife. Well, a letter opener...

What made her special and intriguing was her mind, or perhaps, it was her spirit. He did not understand her. He had met countless powerful people, but none would have been able to withstand or live through what went down in Antarctica.

The fact that she could rebuild herself after the inhuman torture by her own father, survive the cold solitary cell in the basement and finally, face the perpetrator with calm and grace…

No one else could do it.
