Arriving at the towering headquarters, filled with several skyscrapers around the same vicinity, Raulin was filled with ripples in his quiet heart. 

A tear nearly slid from his eyes recalling the days when the Master and Mistress were still around. 

They were a truly kind couple who treated everyone including their staff with love and care. 

Why bad things happen to good people has always been a mystery in life. 

Alas... 

Such was life. 

Eh?

Opening his third eye, Raulin was taken aback.

"Grandmaster..."

"Hmmm." Dorian nodded. 

The Feng Shui of the place had changed and the air was more likely to breed chaos than before. 

Sometimes, dark auras aren't necessarily asked about the existence of underworld creatures. 

Human emotions played a vital role too. And under the leadership of unworthy people, a place can emit signs of bankruptcy and failure faster than one can imagine. 

They didn't even need to see the company documents and profit margins to know several idiots were running the Tian business to the grounds. 

It's because Dorian had foreseen its abrupt failure that he decided to step in now and clean it up. 

.

Are you kidding him? 

From his calculations, it will take a few more months before his parent's legacy files for bankruptcy due to foreign debts taken by many stupid and incompetent people at the top. 

There was also the matter of company secrets that were leaked numerous times, and even embezzlement of funds that have gone unchecked too.

But how can they be checked when almost everyone at the top was embezzling bits and pieces here?

Everyone was afraid to get caught so they all zipped their mouths.

And the few good ones were tossed out or framed. Some good ones still remained but dared not voice any thoughts on the matter for fear of losing their jobs.

Sigh... 

When it comes down to it? 

People have families to feed, children to look after and responsibilities on their shoulders.

No one wants their families targeted or killed from a slip of a tongue unless they were sure they could protect them. 

Every investor and those on the board of directors were indeed all working to keep the company afloat. 

However, many times, greed comes between future interests, as many choose the short-sighted route rather than the long-sighted one. 

They would console themselves, saying things like: 

"Hey, with the Tian couple's fate unknown, who knows how long the company will last? I should just take my cut of the national cake now and be done with it."

"Hey, who knows what new management will come in the future? They might be strict on us and might even denote us. So why not take as much money as we can now? This is what we deserve!"

---

Things in the many Tian companies were going into disarray.

Even when some Tian branch companies did hold out, most of the money they made would be sent to keep the other rumbling companies afloat.

Everything seems to be a nightmare, as many truly competent people had been kicked out from their positions by rival forces in the company who had always wanted the Tian couple's positions as Presidents and leaders.

Even if these people were competent, how can you allow a diligent follower of the Tian couple maintain high-ranking positions? 

Wei Kwo wasn't the only troubling bug the companies had.

There were quite a few shrewd people who joined forces to make it into what it is today. -- A crumbling Tian empire.

Raulin was dumbfounded by the dark aura surrounding the place, feeling that these people had great talent to be able to do this much in such a short time. 

There is no empire, nation or industy that is omnipotent to the end. 

Nothing in this world that can always remain number one forever.

Yes... everyone knows this fact. But the speed at which it falls is what shocks the world. 

What the hell were they doing that it crumbled so fast even to the point where salaries were not being paid? 

This also had to do with the dark auras growing above the Tian buildings. It was like a super catalyst fueling destruction. The atmosphere had been too affected, and every little greedy thought was magnified to its maximum potential under the looming clouds of darkness.

Looking at the lax guards at the gates, Raulin almost had the urge to fly over and smack these sons of b**ches to death!

On the days when the Tian couple were there, when has secretly ever been so lax?

You step into the headquarters and you would feel as though you're stepping into a top-secret military base.

Heheheheheheheheheh~

Raulin's emotions were so turbulent, he even caused a nearby cat to wake from its slumber and flee in horror.

"Down, Raulin." 

"Ye-" Raulin took a deep breath. "Yes, Grandmaster, this one apologized for his rashness."

Almost immediately, someone called out to them when they had already bypassed the gates.

"Hey! You two! How did you get in? Are you trying to sneak in without our notice? Don't you know we can have you arrested for this?" 

A vein popped out on Raulin's forehead. 

What a joke! Did you see them sneak in? 

When they arrived they waited for these guards to notice them, only leaving when they saw it was of no use.

These bastards were so engulfed in their game they didn't even paused attention to their surroundings.

And now, they dare accuse them of sneaking in?

Normally, Raulin had become calm and tranquil after becoming an exorcist.

Almost nothing bugged him anymore, except matters concerning the Tian household. 

This one was very personal to him because he saw the Tian couple as parents he wished he had.

You don't understand how much they did for him. 

Even when he visited the company several times in the past, he witnessed its TRUE glory, which only made him angered by what he was seeing now.

How?... How did this magnificent empire fall so low?

If he was not an exorcist and this were medieval times, he would be one of the people in a village square, raising his fists for these bastards to be hanged. Kill them! Kill them! Kill them all!!!

.

Heheheheheheheh~

With interest, the guards, who seemed more like ruffians, quickly surrounded them, telling them to come back for questioning. 

But if you slide them a few bills, they can turn the other way and not report this matter to the police, right?

(^_^)

Of course, before they can make their plan come to fruition they first had to check the identities of these 2 so they're sure they don't accidentally attack a wealthy person who would come for revenge later.

~Pah! 

Raulin smacked their hands away before they could touch him or Dorian. 

"Are you all worthy of touching the Grandmaster?"

Raulin was a little annoyed but now understood why the Grandmaster didn't want them to drive in with the vehicle.

The Grandmaster must've wanted to see and understand matters with his own eyes, right?

This should be why they were also wearing ordinary clothes.

Dorian frowned seeing as someone was blocking his view of the surroundings he was investigating.

"Move." 

"You--"

The guard was taken aback by Dorian's dark eyes, almost falling to his butt in fear when looking at the abyss disguised as pupils. 

He didn't know when, but his body seemed brutally honest, stepping out of Dorian's way in shame.

"Carl, don't tell me you're afraid of this brat."

"Yeah, Carl! What's gotten into, man? Have you forgotten you are a--"

"Noisy."

"_"

–----

Dorian's face was laced with a trace of disgust Raulin was very familiar with.

He immediately understood what to do, but just when he was about to react?

A familiar vehicle soon pulled up beside them. 

"Ahh! Lawyer Lee!"

The many guards treated Lee with humble smiles. 

In their eyes, Lawyer Lee was a very important figure.

Their hearts trembled with awe and fear, wondering if Lawyer Lee would report their shenanigans to those at the top.

"What's going on here? Why are you all blocking the roads?"

They had taken up all the space for the lanes moving forward. 

"Again, I ask. What's going on here?"

"No-nothing, Lawyer Lee. Just dealing with a few troublemakers who are trying to break in!"

Troublemakers? 

Ahh!

Lawyer Lee's heart skipped a beat when leaving to the side and seeing the so-called troublemakers. 

F***!

He thought Dorian should have already been inside the main building by now. 

So who would've known he would have shitty luck to run into them now? 

Then what was the purpose of him stalling for so long to get here? (:>▪<:)

Lawyer Lee try had tears in his eyes but dared not cry before these guards who respected him greatly

"Let them in... I know who they are."

How can he not know who these 2 murderous bastards were? 

Driving his vehicle forward, Lawyer Lee's hands still couldn't stop shaking.

'Good God of Science... please, let me survive past today.'
