Inside the Imperial Palace in the capital, in a palace transformed from a strange object, the Second Prince sat on an expensive and exquisitely crafted sofa.

Two lovely girls, around eighteen or nineteen years old, were leaning against him on either side, while opposite them stood Minister Wang Qi, who was in charge of the empire's finances.

Wang Qi, who was talking to the Second Prince, suddenly heard the notification sound from the communicator in his pocket, so he informed the Second Prince.

He took the communicator out of his pocket, glanced at the message sent by Butler Li, and then put it back into his pocket.

"What's wrong, Wang Qi? Is there something you need?"

The second prince was in an exceptionally good mood at this moment, perhaps because of the two lovely and beautiful girls.

Upon hearing the Second Prince's words, Wang Qi simply smiled and shook his head slightly, saying:

"It's nothing, it's just that Butler Li sent me a message saying that he has finished taking care of the condolence money."

"Oh, so next up is about that person."

The Second Prince had already learned from Wang Qi that the entire S-class supernatural squad had perished. However, like Wang Qi, he only knew that they were all dead, but did not know the cause of death.

Wang Qi nodded slightly. He was naturally very envious of the two girls beside the Second Prince. None of his servants had ever had such lovely and beautiful women.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to plan for the granddaughter of the Imperial Finance Vice-Minister. Unfortunately, despite his envy, he was ultimately just an official without military power, and the truly beautiful women were all in the hands of people like the Second Prince.

He could never compete with these people, and even if he could, he wouldn't dare.

So now he could only stop looking at the two girls who had aroused his desire, and said to the Second Prince's somewhat gaunt face:

"Your Highness, the men I sent to gather information located that person's residence last night."

Upon hearing news of someone worthy of protection by an entire elite squad, the Second Prince became interested and asked:

"So where in the palace does that person live now?"

"Your Highness, according to the people who gathered information, that person lives in the same area as Your Highness, in a palace that was also transformed by a strange creature."

Wang Qi didn't waste any words and directly revealed the information he knew.

"Then let's not delay any longer, let's go to that person's residence!"

The second prince stood up and spoke decisively.

Wang Qi was somewhat surprised, wondering why the Second Prince would rashly go to the other party's residence without knowing their background, so he softly advised:

"Your Highness, we do not yet have all the details about the other party. Going there rashly would be a terrible idea!"

Hearing Wang Qi's advice, the Second Prince, who was standing in front of him with one woman on each side, looked completely unconcerned and said nonchalantly:

"Wang Qi, I think you're being too cautious. By now, our elder brother and the others might have already found out where that person lives. If we keep worrying about this and that, and they beat us to it, then all the information we've gathered will have been wasted."

After saying that, without waiting for Wang Qi's response, he continued with a smug look on his face:

"The things people can't care about are money, status, and women. I have all of those things. Whatever that person wants, I'll be satisfied."

If you like women, then give them to him. A few should be enough. If not, then dozens.

If you like money, Wang Qi, aren't you the Imperial Finance Minister? It's not that I'm afraid he'll want it, it's that I'm afraid he won't.

"If I like status, as the second prince of the empire, I still have some power to appoint officials with impressive titles but little real power."

After saying this, the Second Prince simply smiled as he looked at Wang Qi, who was quite obese due to his long-term pampered lifestyle.

After hearing this, Wang Qi, whose face was full of fat, sighed and stopped trying to persuade the Second Prince. He then followed the Second Prince, who was surrounded by women on both sides, and walked side by side with the vice captain of the S-level eerie squad responsible for protecting the Second Prince.

...

At that moment, three men, two women, and one guard arrived in front of the palace where Gu Changqing was.

Outside the palace, a squad of S-class supernatural beings, reassigned by Marshal Morris, stood before them.

Seeing that the team in front of him was not the same as the previous S-class bizarre team, Wang Qi's face showed a bad expression, but he did not voice his doubts because of the Second Prince beside him.

"Your Highness, what brings you here?"

The day before yesterday, the leader of this S-class eerie team, who was standing there, asked the Second Prince, who was surrounded by women on both sides, a question.

They had just been sent by Marshal Maurice to carry out a protection mission. Because the real reason for the annihilation of the last S-class eerie team needed to be kept secret, Marshal Maurice had not informed them.

They therefore had no idea what kind of strength the people they were protecting actually possessed.

However, Marshal Maurice gave them a strange order: no matter what happened, unless Gu Changqing ordered them to directly attack the emperor, they had to carry out any order Gu Changqing gave them unconditionally, even if it meant committing suicide.

Now, as the captain of the S-class Weird Squad, he naturally couldn't allow the rest of the personnel to enter the palace without Gu Changqing's permission, not even the Second Prince.

The second prince simply smiled faintly at this. For a long time, no one could stop him, especially after Marshal Maurice was busy with affairs of state and the emperor stayed in the palace, not concerning himself with the affairs of the empire.
