Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Ye Ajian, Talent Awakening F Grade

The replacement of the Wolf King necessitates a blood and flesh exchange; a sudden air-drop would instead provoke a revolt amongst the wolf pack.

This is also why the Ye Family has been able to control Northern City since the anomaly began.

But having understood this point, Xiao Zhan felt even more puzzled.

As one of the eight major families rooted deeply in Northern City, with far-reaching influence in the army as well, how could the Ye Family be so easily usurped by Commander Huang Yuan through a military coup?

It seemed impossible.

There must surely be innumerable connections within this!

Qin Wanfeng sighed and said, "Let’s not think too much for now. Take it step by step. Our primary task is to find evidence. Let’s find the proof first."

Lei Hong also nodded, "That’s correct. The priority is to find evidence of Huang Yuan’s rebellion. Only when we have the evidence can we proceed to the next step. Now, let’s go check the situation in Northern Town."

Saying this, he looked at Xiao Zhan, "Northern Town is your home, you’re familiar with it, so you lead the way."

"Alright."

Thereupon the group headed towards Northern Town.

Northern Town appeared to have had no changes; the guards at the entrance were still strictly on duty, and from the outside, it looked peaceful, showing no signs of a coup.

However, everyone knew that the seemingly calm places were often the most dangerous.

Arriving at the entrance.

The guards recognized Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong and hastily saluted!

"Miss, Young Master!"

"Who’s still in the manor now?" Ye Youlong directly got to the point.

The guard replied, "The General and the eldest young master have gone to the front lines; there’s no one else in the manor at the moment."

"What about Housekeeper He?"

"Housekeeper He seemed to have gone on a mission, it’s been a while since he’s returned."

"Then who’s managing the manor now?"

"It’s Housekeeper Zhou."

Housekeeper Zhou’s full name was Zhou Peng, the deputy housekeeper of Northern Town. Normally, when Housekeeper He and Ye Wudi were absent, he’d temporarily manage the affairs of Northern Town.

So, Ye Youlong didn’t find it odd that he was in charge.

"Has anything happened during this time?" Ye Youlong asked again.

The guard pondered, "No, nothing has happened."

"Hmm."

Ye Youlong then softly hummed in acknowledgment and proceeded to enter Northern Town with Qin Wanfeng and the others.

After entering Northern Town, everything seemed as it always had; the furnishings and environment had no significant changes.

But as Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong walked here, they constantly felt something was different—what used to feel familiar was now replaced by a predominance of unfamiliar emotions.

Xiao Zhan knew that this feeling didn’t arise from nowhere.

After their breakthrough to Fourth Grade, their Perception Skill had undergone subtle changes.

In the past, they could only perceive energy fluctuations, such as the number of people, their strength, their locations, and other concrete details.

But now, they found they could also sense and capture the magnetic fields of people and objects, like changes in one’s emotions, or changes in the temperature of things... and so on.

This ethereal sixth sense provided a basis for belief.

Therefore, when Xiao Zhan released his Perception Skill, this sense of unfamiliarity became even more pronounced, and he knew that Northern Town was no longer the same.

Exchanging a glance with Ye Youlong, both saw the answer in each other’s eyes.

At that moment, Housekeeper Zhou came out from inside, his face showing excitement, "Miss, Young Master, you’ve finally returned. There was an accident with the aircraft you were on, and despite many searches, there was no news. We thought you might never come back."

As he spoke, Housekeeper Zhou looked as if he was about to cry.

Ye Youlong looked at him indifferently, unmoved by his agitation. Whether his tears were real or fake, Ye Youlong did not appreciate such mournful behavior.

"What about Housekeeper He?" Ye Youlong cut straight to the point.

Housekeeper Zhou regained his composure upon hearing this, "Housekeeper He heard that an incident happened to you, so he took a team personally to search for you. He hasn’t returned since then and hasn’t contacted you?"

"No."

A look of surprise flashed across Housekeeper Zhou’s face, "That’s not right, Housekeeper He has been gone for quite a while now, I... I will immediately try to reach him through communication."

Saying this, Housekeeper Zhou took out his communicator to make a call.

However, after dialling, he couldn’t get through.

Housekeeper Zhou’s expression changed slightly, "Miss, I can’t get through. Could something have happened to Housekeeper He?"

As a housekeeper of Northern Town, there was one rule that must be followed: their communication must be available twenty-four hours to ensure that they can receive messages from Northern Town at any moment.

Otherwise, one was not qualified to hold the position of housekeeper.

Housekeeper He had been Northern Town’s housekeeper for decades and had never once been unreachable.

But now he was unreachable, which could only mean one thing — an accident had occurred.

Ye Youlong’s heart grew cold; it appeared that Housekeeper He had been persecuted by Huang Yuan and his cohort.

Housekeeper He was an absolutely trustworthy employee of Northern Town, having watched Ye Youlong grow up. With Huang Yuan instigating a mutiny, it was certain that Housekeeper He would not betray them.

Thus, the only fate awaiting him was death!

And this Housekeeper Zhou managed to remain unharmed. Without guessing, Ye Youlong knew this man must have turned traitor.

But now, everything required evidence, and she couldn’t just confront the issue yet.

Of course, she never cared about evidence, but confronting the issue now wouldn’t serve any purpose. Furthermore, it could possibly alert Huang Yuan, so she chose to bear it temporarily.

"Has anything special happened during this year I was away?" Ye Youlong asked again.

"Nothing special... Oh, yes, Mr. Ajian’s Talent Awakening occurred recently, but it was Grade F."

"Grade F?"

On hearing this, everyone, including Qin Wanfeng, was taken aback.

Ye Wudi and his wife Runya were both SS-grade talents, so their children should at least be SS-grade or at a minimum S-grade guaranteed—Ye Anu was S-grade.

But now you’re telling me Ye Ajian has awakened as Grade F!

That was almost too unbelievable to be true.

It couldn’t be another exhilarating plot scenario like Xiao Zhan’s, could it?

"Are you sure it’s Grade F? Could there be some accident that led to inaccurate results?" Xiao Zhan quickly pressed, given that he was an exception himself.

Housekeeper Zhou shook his head, "It’s been tested many times. As unbelievable as it is, it is definitely Grade F."

Hearing these words, Xiao Zhan fell silent.

Accidents like these can’t always happen.

"Where is he now?" Ye Youlong inquired.

"After his awakening, Mr. Ajian’s mood hadn’t been great. After notifying the townhouse, he’s been out and about ever since."

Ye Youlong’s face grew solemn; whether his being out and about was true or not was undeterminable.

"I’m hungry, have someone prepare some food. Also, these are my friends—arrange two rooms for them," Ye Youlong instructed.

Worrying about too many things now was of no use when they couldn’t even ensure their safety.

"Yes."

Housekeeper Zhou responded, glanced at Qin Wanfeng and the others, and then withdrew.

Following that, Ye Youlong and the others entered a room together, and Xiao Zhan released his Perception Skill to verify that no one was around, then nodded.

Lei Hong spoke up first, "This Housekeeper Zhou’s gaze keeps dodging, not daring to make direct eye contact, and his tone is a bit strange, as if it’s deliberate. Clearly, he knows something."
