"This is interesting," Arnold mumbled as his hand slowly went back to normal after using Blood Bond on Yu Zhung.

Arnold was not expecting to get a new kind of blood relation to get establish with Yu Zhung, but he was pleased that it happened. After all, it ended up increasing the synergy effects of his allies by 5%.

Although Arnold didn\'t need his allies as much as before, now that his summons had transcended the limits placed on them. Still, it was good to have some allies like Yu Zhung around his loved ones.

Yu Zhung might have come short against Arnold. But there was no doubt in Arnold\'s mind that Yu Zhung still was one of the strongest warriors on earth. His swords skills were no joke either. Moreover, Arnold wanted to learn Yu Zhung\'s special skill: Qian Ren. 

If Arnold could learn to expand his mana just like Yu Zhung did, it would further increase his chances of defeating the Demigods who will be inevitably coming after him sooner than later.

After he had learned the ability he could simply assign Yu Zhung as Nina\'s bodyguard so that he could prevent a repeat telecast of what Andrex did to Nina while also protecting his child in his absence. Or he could use Yu Zhung as a dummy king of China and rule over the country himself. 

"Better yet, I can use him to take over Chiang\'s business." Arnold mumbled to himself, while his summons were cleaning the place up, "Considering this is China, there could be problems if someone unknown takes over the business that Chiang and Yu Zhung built together. However, if Yu Zhung takes over the business himself, no one will question him and readily accept him as well."

"That would be happening... sir." Yu Zhung said immediately after regaining consciousness once the bond was formed between him and Arnold.

"Do you mind elaborating, why it won\'t work?" Arnold asked his newly appointed bodyguard.

"There are 10 guild masters within China, excluding me, of course. They are referred to as the Emperors because the Chinese government has assigned each one of them a large portion of China\'s total geographical area." Yu Zhung began explaining the scenario to Arnold, "Each of them is responsible for taking care of any dungeon that pops up within their respective areas. No other Emperor has the right to intervene in the area belonging to others. And since I was the strongest among them, the Golden Dragons were given the largest and the most important area to take care of."

"However, this only happened in theory. In reality, the emperors were always on the lookout to capture other\'s lands either by hook or by crook. The government officials know all about it and yet they can\'t do anything to prevent it, they are the leaders of this country only in name. The true body that rules over the country is the Emperors. And as I\'m sure you would have already assumed, for obvious reasons, all of the emperors had their eyes always focussed on us."

Yu Zhung continued, "Chiang had his flaws, there\'s no denying that, but when it came to politics, he knew how to handle them. Even though he was no warrior like the emperors, they still feared him more than me. He was a sly basta*d who had a secret folder on each and every one of the emperors. The folder contained compromising evidence against the emperors as well as the government officials. Or in other words, Chiang was the one keeping the enemies at bay. Not me. Sadly, only he knew the location of the hidden files and now he\'s dead."

"So you\'re saying, the moment you get in control, they\'ll know that something unfortunate has happened to Chiang and these so-called emperors would then make their move against us," Arnold stated what Yu Zhung wanted to say.

"Precisely."

"Hm..."

Arnold had come to China for two reasons. The first one was to deal with his uncle and cousin, which he finished just a few moments ago. The second was to take over his uncles business and secure a permanent and stable source of income. He had thought it would be easy to take care of both of these reasons. But now another problem had arisen because of his actions.

Still in his eyes, there was still a way to take care of the situation. But for his plan to succeed he had to ask a question to one of his summons first.

"Yan, I have a question." 

"Yes, master?" Yan humbly asked Arnold.

"Do your resurrected being have knowledge or any recollection from their previous lives?"

"Sadly, they don\'t, master." Yan shook his head, "The moment my spell touches their souls, they become a new entity entirely."

"Alright, get back to work."

Arnold had hoped that those who were resurrected by Yan would have some sort of memory back from when they were alive. That way all Arnold had to do was to ask the undead Chiang where he had hidden all of the evidence. And then Arnold would use the evidence to force the other Emperors to submit to him. However, it did not look like it was going to be that easy. 

"Looks like there\'s no other way. We\'ll just have to take over the other areas before the emperors can take over ours."
