While mc was alone with the 3 girls, drinking and shit, totally unprotected in his weakened state he found out he was poisoned by one of the girls (probably the gym girl). He couldn't move. He saw few people killing the other 2 girls and then took the last girl and him away to a different place. Same group people also tried to capture mc's parents but that earth knight slave saved the parents. the enemies couldnt believe that mc had an earth knight as a slave. Mc was taken to a mountain and he was being tied and tortured for the information on his power up. how he powers up so early, how to become a god etc. Mc said nothing other than saying he wants to meet the boss. Mc found out the reason that girl helped them is cause the enemy has her and mc's son (mc didnt know he impregnated her, he was drunk ). for this reason mc didnt leave even when he could, he wanted to know the mastermind. On the other side the world is worried about Mc, prince chang even sends some strong guy to investigate. Huaiyuan Palace leader zhang taixuan (lan yunxi's father) was surprised with the prince chang's involvement. He understood that he cant have the mc captured for much long and he needs his answer soon. This shit guy taixuan also hid mc's whereabouts from his crime partner (he didnt do all this alone, took help from someone). he wanted to know the secret behind mc's strength and then give him up to the partner. since he couldnt wait any longer he stealthily tried to go to the mountain where mc was being held. he didnt know he was being followed up by his partners. Back at the mountain cave, mc recovered mostly from the poison. He could enter COBI but he still acted like he was poisoned and unconscious, waiting for the boss to appear. When he saw Taixuan arrive at the cave, mc was shocked, heart broken etc. Basically he was messed up but he was hopeful thinking maybe taixuan came to save him. He didn't . Taixuan came to personally search the mc for the secret stuffs with a unique scanning device . he left when he couldnt find shit. Mc couldnt do shit, he was mind fucked. He sensed taixuan leaving and was thinking what just happened when he sensed those partners of taixuan near the mountain. There was 3 of them, 2 shadow knight 1 earth knight (maybe). Mc took his anger out on them. Earth guy was killed, Ockham from sacred light empire killed one and the other guy ran away. Mc sends ockham to sacred light empire to be his spy (he is controlling ockham through some slave contract or something). Mc comes back with the girl. Everyone wants to know what happened. Mc gathers the elders, royal investigator and taixuan and tells them what happened. He doesn't mention taixuan about his participation, only tells about the 3 guys and tells them one guy ran away. Taixuan guy is relieved that mc doesn't know shit. Then next few days, they try to look for the 'ran away' guy but he turns up dead along with every other lead. Mc is in a dilemma about the Taixuan situation. he has to kill him but he cant kill his lover's father, cant even tell people the truth cause it will defame Huaiyuan palace. Yan girl could tell that Mc is struggling with a decision and tries to help but mc didnt tell her anything and told her he can take care of it. The girl that mc brought back could not live with the guiltiness of having 2 of her sisters killed and betraying mc so she commits suicide. in her suicide note she asks the Mc to find their son. Mc was again feeling sad and shit, he doesnt blame the girl and finally decides to confront taixuan. he drinks some medicine that helps with mental power so he gets few of his god power back. He also had heller make a poison similar to the one he had recently. He visits huaiyuan main hall, asks people about the whereabouts of taixuan and asks people not to disturb them no matter what.
