Three in the morning at Huaisha City Dockyard .
Chen Hang led a group of close aides as they walked along the docks .
They were clad in black suits, and around them were bodyguards standing ready, forming a tight security net .
Chen Hang was almost fifty . His head was bald, his body muscular, but his strength far away from his prime .
His expression was heavy, as the wrinkles on his face slowly shuddered as he walked, as he bore a sinister look on it .
The group walked to the side of the dock and boarded a medium-sized silver yacht docked by it .
Vrooom… .
The yacht roared to life and slowly turned towards the distance, kicking up a large number of waves in the process .
The wind was howling and the clouds roiled in the night sky, creating a foreboding and oppressive atmosphere .
Chen Hang stood on the bow of the yacht, squinting as he looked forward .
He could only see part of the sea from the yacht’s frontal lights, and nothing else .
But he did not mind it as his eyes were locked ahead, seemingly in a trance .
Ever since his only son was suddenly murdered, everything he had arranged collapsed like a house of cards .
And even his loyal subordinates started having other thoughts as he was not without an heir .

Even if he tried to get one now, the child would be too young, and who knew how many years it would take for him to grow up .
The variables were just too immense .
Chen Hang placed his hand behind his back and kept silent .
The sea wind grew stronger and the ship started rocking violently as the waves crashed against the hull, letting out a loud boom .
Chen Hang came back to his senses and raised his hand .
“Everyone, shut your phones!” He yelled .
The six people behind him quickly took out their phones and shut them down .
Chen Hang did not give out any further orders and simply allowed the yacht to head forward as he waited quietly .
Time passed by . Perhaps ten, perhaps twenty, or even thirty .
A splash suddenly rang out from the stern .
“Who goes there?!” A few guards on the ship pulled their weapons out in response .
“Stand down . ” Chen Hang barked .
His underlings were stunned, not understanding why Chen Hang would give such an order, but they still slowly lowered their gun and quickly formed a circle around him .
And not long after, a series of rhythmic footsteps came over .
A masked bald man in a blue robe walked out of the darkness .

The person was tall, about two meters in height, like a bamboo pole covered in an intricately decorated robe .
And what caught everyone’s attention was his eyes .
It was blood red as if it was about to explode at any given time .
“Seems like you have thought things through . ” The masked man let out a hideous guttural laugh .
Chen Hang’s hand was behind him as he held a grenade that he had prepared beforehand, staring unblinkingly at the person .
“As long as you find my son’s murderer, I will cooperate with your operation in Huaisha this time!”
“Hehehe, what touching fatherly love . ” The masked bald man laughed again .
“This is actually a very simple matter . But I have been wondering, why don’t you just let us kill that murderer?”
Chen Hang kept silent .
He was not a fool; if not for the fact he could find no trace of his son’s murderer, he would not have made a deal with a literal devil .
If it was just this once he could still hide it . But if he comes to rely on them a little too much, then the White Tarots would become their puppets sooner or later .
Even when he saw Chen Hang kept quiet, the masked bald man did not mind it .
“Alright . Since you have decided . Let’s begin now, or?”
“Begin now, I just need your information, and I will provide you the information you seek . After this, we don’t owe each other anything” Chen Hang said with a chilly tone .
“Sure . ” The masked bald man laughed again .

He then held his hand out and pointed his almost feminine, slender fingers onto the ground .
*Hiss… Hiss… Hiss…*
At that very moment, the hull of the ship rang with the sound of crawling insects .
And soon, countless of black bugs came from every direction manically and formed into a blob on the deck before Chen Hang and his man .
The bugs were about the size of a fingernail . They were all black, with eight appendages, without any eyes alongside a saw-like mouth . There was too a semi-translucent wing on their back .
And very quickly, the bugs formed into a tiny black ball .
And the size kept expanding until it became the size of a goose egg .
The masked bald man pointed again towards the tiny ball .
*Hiss…*
The bugs quickly scattered all along the hull and back into the sea .
In a blink of an eye, there was not a trace of the bugs on the yacht anymore .
And in the location of the black ball was a faint blue ellipsoid egg .
“Take it back, and placed it on the scene of your son’s murder . Three days later, it will hatch automatically, and an Azurewing will come out of it, follow the bird, and you will find your son’s murderer . ”
The masked bald man let out another cackling smile before retreating back into the darkness and disappearing .
“Don’t forget your promise… And of course, if you cannot resolve it yourself . Call my codename and we will help you…”
The last of the words came from the darkness .
Chen Hang’s face twitched as he stared at the Azurewing egg on the deck .
“Elementary Summoning of Otherworlders? Is this a special, proper summoning spell?”
Lin Sheng was excited as he quickly went through the book to the corresponding page .
On the pages, most of the details were still legible, and Lin Sheng quickly looked for the ritual matrix details and read .
“Summoning of Otherworlders, or the Summoning, is a tether . There are many rifts in this world, and these rifts will appear out of nowhere at any corner of this world . They are everywhere, yet no one knows about them .
This was because the existence of these rifts was not detectable by human senses .
They were ever-changing, disappearing and reappearing, a totally different layer from our own world: two separate worlds .
Summoning of Otherworlders is to summon a special existence that is willing to serve under one’s will through that ritual . ”
After reading the abstract, Lin Sheng had a pretty good idea why this matrix did not need that many materials even though it was capable of summoning an otherworlder to fight for oneself .
“So this doesn’t require the caster to open a summoning portal, rather it summons by tethering to the rift . The difficulty between the two is pretty much heaven and earth . ”
Lin Sheng was engrossed . Even though he was still not sure if this ritual matrix would work or not, but the previous rituals had all worked, so this by logic should work as well .
When he was still on Earth, he had heard of this sort of magic, to summon a being to fight for the caster .
And back then, he was very envious of it, and never thought he would have the chance to make contact with such magic .
