Chapter 1098 House Visit
At this moment, the surviving retainers behind Xia Shou began to relax their tense nerves.

"I never thought I'd survive. My God, I'll never work as a henchman for a powerful family again. It's true what they say, no rumor is entirely unfounded. There isn't a single normal person in any of those families that have survived all the way through the ages." The man who could distribute curse power exclaimed.

"I'm leaving. It's so hard to leave now. If something unexpected happens later, I won't be able to leave even if I want to. Hey... masked uncle, and girl with glasses, you two better watch yourselves." The hypnotist waved her hand and decided to leave.

The snake-man licked his lips, glanced up at the deathly silent mansion of An Gang's driver, and silently turned to walk towards the gate. Halfway there, he suddenly turned back and said:

"Although I know you won't leave, I'll still remind you to be careful. This dissipated curse power is not right... it's too little."

That's right, just like the snake man said. When an anomaly of Angang Heiyue's level dies, the released curse power should be noticeable to people.

However, there was only a slight anomaly in the air. Xia Shou was not quite sure at first, thinking that his soul and this body were not compatible and his perception was severely impaired, so he could not make a correct judgment.

But after the snake man said that, he knew that it wasn't that he had misjudged, but that An Gang Hei Yue's dissipation of curse power was really not normal.

Just then, the hypnotist woman, who had already reached the door, suddenly turned around and reminded her, "Once you go outside, that strange feeling disappears. Although my senses are not as good as the Bureau of Control's instruments, the speed at which this curse power dissipates is very abnormal."

"Who cares! This has nothing to do with us, let's get going. Hey, do you need us to notify the control bureau for you?"
We apologize for this, but as retainers, this is our livelihood. Please don't hold it against us. Now that our master has treated us so badly, we have no obligation to continue cleaning up the mess.

"If you need us to go out and notify the Control Bureau, I can help you." The man who could distribute curse power flicked his bangs, which resembled those of Iori Yagami, and said to Xia Shou and the others.

"Please don't notify the Control Bureau," Xia Shou said.

The others murmured amongst themselves as they walked toward the main gate; no one wanted to stay in this place of trouble any longer.

Xia Shou pondered for a moment and then said, "Didn't you guys think about getting something back from An Gang's family?"

Among the group that had intended to leave, a few people stopped in their tracks.

Xia Shou's proposal was undeniably tempting.

As extraordinary beings, they are destined not to live the same life as ordinary people, nor can they ignore abnormal beings like ordinary people. They are destined to suffer from the interference and fear of abnormal phenomena.

It is just as natural for extraordinary individuals to gain power and a sense of security as for ordinary people to earn money for a stable life. Extraordinary individuals below level three are always pursuing how to obtain the greatest possible power within the level three range, while extraordinary individuals above level three are always troubled by their own mental state.

Everyone is seeking some kind of opportunity to acquire enough power to satisfy themselves, to bring peace of mind and body, and to live a fulfilling life without getting involved in anything abnormal.

This desire is even greater than the pursuit of wealth, freedom, and social status by ordinary people, and everyone who comes to An Gang's house as a guest has their own ambitions and pursuits.

Telling them to loot the mansion is as tempting as telling a group of tomb raiders that the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum has been opened and the traps and poison gas have been removed. You could say that everyone had the same thought in their mind: take a risk and do one last job!
“The Angang family isn’t just about Angang Heiyue, the retired head of the previous generation. The current head of the Angang family, Angang Zhao, although he’s often away on foreign business trips, he still comes home quite frequently,” the woman cautiously voiced her concerns.

"Anyway, I'm absolutely not going back empty-handed! Being bullied and not getting revenge isn't the style of the True Mad Alliance!" The slick-haired guy started spouting another embarrassingly childish line, making the originally serious atmosphere strange. Snake Man rolled his eyes: "You and Ronin lent him your abilities, and that's why you're saying this, right? We're different from you."

Xia Shou raised his hand to attract everyone's attention: "I'll just say one thing, you can decide for yourselves. Those who don't participate in the looting shouldn't even think about getting a share of the spoils later, and of course, they won't get a share anyway."

Angang Heiyue is dead, but you've all disappeared. Do you think the Angang family will just let you off the hook? I'm definitely taking everything I can."

"I can't just take the blame for nothing, count me in!" the flirtatious woman said.

"Sigh, that makes sense. Looks like I'm on the same boat. I'll join them too," said the man with the Iori Yagami hairstyle.

After a moment's thought, the others also expressed their opinions one after another, deciding to continue searching An Gang's house.

Xia Shou had expected this group's decision; after all, while it seemed like they had a choice, they actually didn't.

After all, he himself had already stated that he would turn the Angang family upside down, and such behavior would inevitably provoke the Angang family's wrath. The current head of the Angang family, who was away from home, would definitely list the missing retainer as one of the wanted targets.

Therefore, rather than being targeted by Angang Group without gaining any benefits, we might as well go all the way and see it through to the end!
This is a very simple game choice.

Of course, Xia Shou didn't really care about any of that. He only wanted them to stay to increase his own power. Right now, all he wanted to do was find Jiang Wengao.

The death of Angang Heiyue felt more complicated than it seemed. Although no one was stopping them from going to the main house and then to the suspicious back mountain of Angang's house, Xia Shou decided to postpone their trip there.

Because of Xiao Gao's previous reaction, he felt that this trip was very risky. Xiao Gao took the initiative to insist on coming along, which meant that he felt that his presence was very necessary in this adventure.

Therefore, Xia Shou planned to go to the back mountain after finding Xiao Gao.

"You are guests of An Gang's family. Who usually lives in An Gang's family?" Xia Shou asked.

"Speaking of which, it is indeed quite strange. After returning from that alternate dimension, this house... is unexpectedly quiet. Although it is usually quiet, the atmosphere today is different..." The hypnotist stroked her chin and said thoughtfully.

Xia Shou thought for a few seconds and said:
"Let's split up first. Ronin and Big Back Hair will come with me, and the rest of you can do what you want to do, exchange information, and finally distribute the spoils together."

I don't want any spoils of war. I just want information related to An Gang's family, their family history and genealogy, and other miscellaneous things. I hope you can find them all for me.

"I won't take it for free. If I find any forbidden items, I'll trade them with you. Pretty good deal, right?"
