The incident was so big that it was a hot topic in the Glory City even after an entire month.
It was so big that both City Lord and Principal Ye Kai had to step forward, protecting Jason via the announcement of his identity as an Honorary Teacher personally appointed by Ye Kai himself.
Even though not many were aware of that term since before him only one person was able to achieve it but the elders were still knowledgeable about it, instantly scolding the younger generation to not mess up or piss off Jason in the future.
Anyone who did that was the same as going against the entire Holy Orchid Institute which was supported by the Alchemist Association, Inscription Association, and Major and noble families.
Shen Hong, the Patriarch of the Sacred Family, personally apologized to Jason after that incident and even kicked out Shen Ming from the family.
Since then no one had seen the former elder of the family.
Jason might have only considered him a traitor of the Glory City, not suspecting anything if only he was found in the camp of Dark Guild. But beside him, there was another elderly man which surprised even Jason.
Shen Gui, an elder of the Sacred family. One could even say that he was one of the most trusted aides of Shen Hong.
Seeing him among the unconscious people, Jason was startled, his eyes shaking slightly.
'What the hell! I can still take that Shen Ming was thrown out by his family so in rage he defected to the Dark Guild but then what about this Shen Gui? What is he doing here?... It seems the secrets of Sacred Family are far deeper than I thought...'
Jason first used 'Soul Search' on everyone except Shen Gui, Shen Ming, and that Black gold guy, wanting to extract some valuable information from them but the result was disappointing.
As for the remaining three, he didn't use it on them as he still needed them alive and well for proof. Grabbing the three of them like chickens, Jason left the place back to the glory city, leaving the others for demon beasts to feast on...

In a dimly lit office, the soft glow of a candle flickered, casting warm shadows across the room. Behind a desk, a striking black-haired woman sat, her eyes distant as she absentmindedly twirled a pen between her fingers. A quiet giggle escaped her lips, lost in thought.
Whoosh!
A faint sound broke through the silence, snapping Yang Xin back to reality. Instantly alert, she sprang to her feet, a long, slender sword in hand as she stepped outside into the small courtyard. In her other hand, she clutched a signaling device—ready to alert the guards if necessary.
"Big Sis, do you really need a sword for your little brother?"
At the familiar voice, she relaxed, her gaze landing on the young man seated casually at the stone table, watching her with a teasing smile.
Remembering the kiss from earlier, a soft blush crept up her cheeks. She sheathed her sword, tilting her head with a playful smirk. "Visiting so late at night, little brother? Should I be suspicious of your intentions?"
Jason chuckled, leaning back slightly. "Haha, careful, Sis. If you say things like that, I might start getting ideas." His smirk held a mischievous edge.
Yang Xin huffed in amusement and stepped closer, pinching his ear lightly. "Naughty boy, you startled me. I almost thought the Dark Guild was attacking again."
Jason laughed, rubbing his ear. "Relax, Sis. No one's attacking tonight. And besides, I even brought you a little present."
He gestured toward the three figures lying motionless on the ground, his grin widening.
Only now, Yang Xin paid attention to them, realizing that there was someone else on the ground. Looking closely, she exclaimed.
"Shen Ming! Shen Gui! Aren't they the elders of the Sacred family?"
"Yep. And will you care to guess where I find them?"
"Where?"
"Outside Glory City in a camp with the members of the Dark Guild. The third guy is the leader of the group. The others were killed by me." Jason stared at her and spoke solemnly. "Big Sis, I think there is something between the Sacred family and the Dark Guild?"
"Little brother, I understand that you find these two elders with the Dark Guild. But we just can't blame the entire Sacred family. They are one of the three major families."
"I know, Sis. But do you know about a Sacred family's business, the Star Restaurant?" Jason nodded his head and smiled mysteriously.
"Yes, what about it?" She asked with a puzzled expression.
"What if I tell you that the restaurant is just an upfront but in reality it's a branch of the Dark Guild in the Glory City? And before you ask, I used 'Soul Search' on the members of the Dark Guild back at the camp. Among them, a few are employees of that restaurant."
Yang Xin's expression finally changed, and with extreme seriousness she replied. "If that's true, then it's really a big thing."
"Big Sis, you first put these guys in the cell. I'll personally take a look at the restaurant now. I can't let such a big threat unchecked."
"Little brother, Wait!..." Yang Xin tried to stop him but he just disappeared in front of her before she could finish her sentence. "He's so hasty! I just hope nothing happened to him."
"Guards!!"
Yang Xin shouted, calling for people to escort the prisoners to the prison for interrogation.
Jason went in the direction of the Star Restaurant after leaving the Alchemist Association. His eyes flashed with a bright light as an invisible ripple spread all over the large building, covering everything.
'Heaven Seizing Net!'
With his soul stronger than average, he used it to scan the entire building for the enemies.
'Hmm! There are over thirty people on the ground floor with the strongest being only a 4-star Bronze rank. The second floor has dozens of people, guarding it. Their auras are much stronger than the twenty below with even the weakest at 3-star Silver rank. At the top, only has three men. The strongest being a peak Black gold rank expert... Wait! He seems to be leaving... He sure has some skills...'
Jason smiled and used the Yin Yang Art, his body slowly sank into the void, disappearing from the street.
Entering the restaurant, Jason was a little surprised to see that quite a few customers were occupying the tables, enjoying their food.
'I completely forgot that this is a restaurant... Then let's move to the 2nd floor.'
Since he couldn't do anything with the customers being in his way, Jason stepped on the 2nd floor.
The second floor was quite spacious with eight rooms in total. These rooms were specially constructed for VIPs like patriarchs of noble families or special characters.
Passing through the dozens of guards standing on watch with ease, he stepped on the stairs to the 3rd floor. It was guarded by 4 guards at gold ranks.
Arriving at the 3rd floor, Jason saw a singular big room. It was like a conference room with a large table and multiple tables around it.
Currently, there are only two men on the floor.
