As it turned out, Commander Ruby got up very early, or perhaps he was very attentive to his wife, the female demon. When Ye Xi and the others arrived at the top floor three hours later, the entire ninth floor was deserted.
"He doesn't even have servants to clean? Doesn't he usually need anyone to take care of his daily needs?" Ye Zhen asked in confusion.
Not to mention Ruby, even in their residences on Earth, many of them have numerous low-ranking members of their families responsible for building and caring for them. Their powerful strength means they have a large following wherever they go.
"Isn't it better if no one's around? It saves trouble. Anyway, all we need to do is confirm whether he's left. If he really went to the weird high school, do you think he'll still be alive or come back to deal with us?" Ye Jun sneered, kicking open a window and walking in first.
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed without hesitation. Indeed, as Ye Jun said, once Ruby went to the eerie high school, he would not be able to come back alive. All they needed to do was take over Ruby's hot pot restaurant at the moment of his death.
The entire top floor is Rupee's residence, which shows how spacious and luxurious it is. Even the smallest floor, the ninth floor, is much larger than the rooms below.
The surrounding decoration style is full of the eeriness and gloom of the dark world. It can be said that the entire Tangchang Tower is decorated in this style, yet it has a strange sense of harmony. After all, it is a dark world that gave birth to civilization, so it still has the beauty it should have, even if the lord and his kin cannot understand it.
"There shouldn't be any customers left in the bathhouse at this hour. If we control the managers, we can take control of the entire bathhouse. Once Ruby's presence disappears, we'll become the masters here!" Ye Jun said to the group, glancing at the surrounding decor with a hint of disdain.
"Then let's divide the work according to last night's original plan. Taishan, you take Ye Zhen, Xuandu, and Bai Ze to control the labor force at the bottom level. Ye Chang, Ye Jun, and I will control the supervisors at each level!" Ye Xi nodded and arranged.
Although Ruby was not in the bathhouse at this time, as the lord, his aura still covered the area. He probably even knew that Ye Jun and the others had broken into his residence. However, he was probably trapped by Zhulong and Kunpeng at this time and had no power to break free and deal with them.
Once Zhulong kills him, the lord's aura that has enveloped the entire Tangchang will quickly dissipate. At that time, all the strange creatures in the main world will be able to sense it, and all the strange creatures will frantically rush to seize Ruby's inheritance so that they can regain their position as lord.
When that time comes, those seventh-tier lords who have been waiting for so long without being able to become leaders will all take action regardless of the consequences. This is their shortcut to break free from constraints and reach the pinnacle, and no one will be willing to give it up.
At the same time, the rules and restrictions will be reduced to a minimum. During the struggle for the Ruby's legacy, the rules set by each lord will be temporarily invalidated, and any monster can participate in the struggle.
Therefore, it was undoubtedly very advantageous for Ye Jun and his group to take control of the soup field in advance. The moment Ruby's aura disappeared, they could instantly take control of the entire soup field and turn it into their own product.
By the time the other strange creatures arrive to fight for it, the situation is basically settled, and they may even have already set new rules.
The group quickly sprang into action. The ordinary laborers recruited below were easy to deal with; Ye Zhen and her two companions alone were enough to subdue them. Taishan was only going along as a precaution.
Moreover, his fierce appearance can also serve as a strong deterrent.
The real problem lies with the managers at all levels. These people all possess the strength of the peak of the sixth rank, and even Ruby doesn't usually keep an eye on them. They are also the most formidable competitors in the entire soup shop.
Subduing these strange creatures wouldn't be easy, and Ye Jun, too lazy to waste time, went directly to the Dark Serpent Man who had been in charge of recruitment.
"What do you want?" The Dark Serpent Man, who was resting, roared in a dark voice when he saw the three arrive. He cursed the steward of the water boiler room in his heart. He hadn't managed to kill these people all night. What a useless piece of trash.
"Nothing! I just need your help. Summon all the managers above the sixth rank to the water boiler room. Right now!" Ye Jun commanded coldly, his divine power radiating.
"All the managers? What do you want? Commander Ruby can easily wipe you out with your disruptive behavior!" the Dark Serpent Man roared.
"Thank you for your concern, but if nothing unexpected happens, Commander Ruby, whom you've been thinking about, will not be coming back today, no, he will never be back!" Ye Chang said with a smile, "comforting" him.
Upon hearing this, the Dark Serpent Man's vertical pupils contracted noticeably. He sensed something different in their words, which made him feel a great sense of crisis.
After a long silence, he spoke again, but this time he was noticeably more compliant: "I'll go and gather the supervisors right away!"
After saying that, he left directly. Ye Jun, having received a positive reply, also turned and walked towards the water boiler room.
"What if he turns around and sells us out?" Ye Chang asked worriedly.
"No, I left a flame mark on him. I can sense any ill intentions he might have, and that mark will instantly burn him to ashes," Ye Jun said confidently.
"Looks like we're on the same page. I also left a moonlight mark!" Ye Xi smiled. Ye Chang looked at the two of them and couldn't help but shiver. She silently mourned for the dark snake-man for three minutes.
As it turned out, their precautions were necessary. After leaving the lounge, the Dark Serpent Man immediately planned to contact other lords. After all, he could tell from Ye Jun and the others' words that Ruby was about to die. Rather than submitting to Ye Jun and the others, he preferred other Dark Lords.
Of course, he did dream of taking over and ruling the entire Ruby Soup Field, becoming the new leader. However, he was well aware of his own strength. A peak sixth-tier cultivator was absolutely not enough to become a leader in the main world. The seventh tier was the minimum standard; at the very least, one needed to have the opportunity to invoke rules to punish enemies.
Moreover, the more powerful the leader, the more powerful the rules they can write and inscribe. This is something that Ye Jun and the others did not know. It is hard to say whether the rules he wrote with his sixth-order strength can restrain the seventh-order monsters. If that happens, he will really become a joke.
However, just as he was about to go to the other commanders to report the secret, he suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation. A burning and icy sensation rose in his heart, and a vast divine power pressed down on him, making him dare not make any move. Only after he swept away the thoughts in his mind did this feeling gradually dissipate.
At that moment, he knew he was under surveillance, and if he didn't do as they said, his only fate would be destruction.
