Zan Fu sat back with his arms wrapped around the back of his neck, "I feel like I should reserve a therapy session." While thinking this to himself, the voice in his head said, "Why, it doesn't look like you have any mental difficulties to me."

As smile appeared on his face suddenly, in the perspective of Drodon, an he said out loud, "I need to go to therapy because of you! Why won't you just leave me alone. I don't need another weird person,that no one else can see by the way, talk to me!"

Drodon rolled over and banged into his shin, although this didn't really hurt him, "Sp what, you're saying that you would rather me an inanimate object?"

"You know that's not what I meant."

"Then what did you mean, huh? You jerk!" Drodon shouted out as loud as he could, knowing full well that no one else could hear him. Zan Fu covered his ears and gave off an annoyed expression.

"I am not the villain here! And I would feel so much better about the two of you, if you would tell me more and stop keeping secrets-" he was about to compntinje his complaints when a knock at the door stopped him.

"Zan Fu...um, I heard you speaking to someone. Are you okay?" Shu Rong's soft voice called out to him behind the door. He paused for a second before finally responding, "Yeah, everything is okay. I'm just thinking to myself a bit."

She responded by saying a simple okay and left soon afterwords. Zan Fu gave off a angry glance toward Drodon, before picking him up and putting him in his lap. He began tapping on his smooth surface with his fingernails while a cruel smile appeared onto his face.

It only took seconds before he began to cry out, "Stop with the tapping, please! I can't take it anymore!"

Zan Fu chuckled as he thought in his head, "As for you, I still do not trust you. But to hype honest, I have no choice. But if you try to take over my body or make me do something to harm my friends and family, I will kill myself along with you."

He could not hear the voice's response, but he felt it accept what he said, "You never did tell me your name, by the way."

"Heh, I guess I really did not. My name is, Voice."

Zan Fu, "..."

Voice, "What."

Zan Fu, "That is so stupid. I don't know who gave you that name, but they must be and idiot. No offense, but that name is seriously unoriginal and dumb."

He told voice to tell him more about what he was and what his purpose was. Everything he said was the same as Zan Fu was told before. He was a dragon whose sole purpose was to train the successor of the orb. Apparently, the orb was a powerful artifact that dragon's have worshipped for ages.

It was said that in olden times, one dragon would be chosen to take on the mantle as the successor of the dragons. Even if Zan Fu was human, he was considered as an honorary member of their race after becoming the master of the orb. Voice was the spirit of the last dragon who was chosen to take over as the orb's master.

"Drodon, do you remember who your last master was?" Zan Fu decided to make sure of Voice's story by asking Drodon.

"Hmmm... last master? No I don't remember who he was or what he was like..." Drodon's answer didn't bring a comfortable feeling to Zan Fu. In fact it brought the opposite with a sense of distrust and wonderment instead.

But he could not do anything about it so he let it slide. Another knock came at Zan Fu's door and the voice of one of the butlers requested for him to come out. Some interesting news came up and the news might interest him.

Zan Fu got up and was about to open up his door, when he stopped and looked down. He was completely naked from just stepping out of the shower and realized that he had been doing a lot of stupid stuff while he was naked.

"I'll come out in a few minutes, g-Give me a second." While he was speaking, Drodon suddenly floated over to his back and just ran into it, "Hurry up! This might have something to do with your friend."

Of course it was probably something to do with their body stealing problem! Zan Fu gave the order that no one was to disturb him while he was "training" unless it had something to do with Braedon or something else much more important.

Drodon's body was very chlly at this moment and made Zan Fu moan out a little. "I'll be right out!"

The butler said okay and as he was leaving Zan Fu's door, he looked back to the room and whispered to himself, "I guess even the young master does something like that... a man his age should really find a girlfriend instead of doing something so shameful."

What the butler didn't know was that Zan Fu could clearly hear every word. With his eye twitching, he quickly got dressed and went to the living room to see what was up.

"Something big has appeared in a park in our territory. Two bodies, dead, were found completely drained of all power and life force. But their body is unmistakably giving off the scent and energy of herbs and... an even more powerful aura of death."

A man, who was part of the division team that Zan Rong and Mei Ling keep in standby until they are needed, said when Zan Fu arrived into the room.

Zan Fu didn't understand what he was hearing when he went and said, "What does this mean?"

"We believe that from the body condition, these people were Living Pills."

A sharp intake of breath came from most of the people in the room as mumbling and conversations began among the people at the meeting. Zan Fu felt his face scrunch up at the possibility. "Do we have a suspect of who the maker is?"

"The dead bodies have been identified as the servants of the grandson of one of the elders of the Shadow Guild, the refinement elder in fact. We sent this information to several groups and organizations, and collectively questioned the guild about this. They denied knowing anything about the event and have claimed stated that the refinement elder hasn't refined a single pill for many years. Of course there is the possibility that these Living Pills were created when they pill hosts were young."

These words frightened a few of the more inexperience people at the scene. In Zan Fu's living room were several representatives for different branch families. He even saw Zan Li and Mei Jia sitting in the background.

A few of the branch heads looked to Zan Rong for his orders, "What are we to do, Sir?"

Some of the young men and women who these heads were raising to be their successor looked to Zan Fu's father expecting him to give them the order to attack. But he knew better than this. Without hard evidence, the Shadow Guild could claim that the Zan Clan struck at them without reason, this would cause many other organizations to team up with the Shadow Guild in order to destroy their family.

This was because to those people, the resources and treasures the clan contained were much sadly more important than a few Living Pills.

And as expected, Zan Rong responded to the question by saying, "We do nothing. We need to collect more information about who these people were and what they were doing. More importantly, the information that I have recieved privately states that the refinement elder's grandson is not currently found in their guild. Either they are hiding him, or he disappeared when the Living Pills were used."

He took in a deep breath before saying in a commanding tone, "My orders are simple. Find this grandson, wherever he is! If anyone knows anything about the Living Pills, it will be him. Find him, capture him alive, and question him."

The branch leaders bowed to Zan Rong and Mei Ling while saying in unison, "Yes, Sir!"

They all scurried about to prepare their people for a widespread search of the country. Zan Li and Mei Jia walked over to Zan Fu with a worried expression on their faces.

"Zan Fu, what is going on? I heard from my father that first uncle has been conducting an investigation for the Shadow Guild for a while now and this is how we found those dead bodies. What is this all about?" Zan Li got straight to the point and asked him directly what was bother him.

"Do you remember Braedon?"

Mei Jia nodded quickly with a worried expression on her face, while it took Zan Li a second longer to remember, "The person who saved out asses back in the dungeon? Yeah, what about him?"

"Then you should remember how his body was sort of taken over by someone or something. Basically he has been spotted among the people of the Shadow Guild and we've been watching them to figure out why."

Zan Fu explained a bit on what he knew and what has happened so far. While the two were absorbing the information they had just recieved, a voice called out from behind Zan Fu, "Hey, what is going on here? Why are all of these people scrambling about like madmen?"

Zan Li's eyes immediately dilated as when they saw who spoke.

Zan Fu looked over and said without thinking for a second, "Oh, this is Shu Rong guys... oh wait you've already met." Zan Li nodded curtly in Shu Rong's direction after Zan Fu remembered how there first encounter occurred. To him it felt like years ago, but in reality it has only been a few weeks.

"Okay, Zan Li. I understand how you feel. You two didn't start off on the right foot, but neither did I. Right now I need you to forgive Shu Rong just this once since our little fight was due to a misunderstanding. Plus, sh Rong has helped me out a lot lately so just calm down."

He quickly said this to Zan Li while holding his hand out to stop any ugly actions that could've occurred. Zan Fu was about to say the same thing to Mei Jia, But when he looked over, he noticed a strange look in her eyes.

"Hey Zan Fu, didn't Shu Rong come from the direction of your room?"

"Yeah, Shu Rong is Li In in the guest room, why?"

Mei Jia gave a wink to Zan Li who looked like he was just shocked by electricity, "Oh I get it, the 'guest room'" even Zan Li who looked like he was ready for a battle a few seconds ago gave off a sly smile, "I see!"

"Guys, what do those looks mean?"

"Nothing."

"I'm serious right now!" Zan Fu looked over to his side to find Shu Rong glaring at him angrily with a red face."

"Ah sh*t, what did I do this time."

Without answering his question, Shu Rong stormed off back to the guest room in a puff of rage. Zan Fu didn't understand what he got himself into as he just stood there rubbing the back of his head while Mei Jia and Zan Li kept repeating the same lines with dumb smirks on their faces.

"I see."
