About an hour later, his maglev car stopped at a location within "Pantheon's Poison" where there was a highly secretive entrance to the underground world—even within the underground world itself, fewer than twenty people knew of this entrance.

He stood before the entrance, pulled a special electronic device from inside his clothes, and pressed it gently. Then, without hesitation, he strode into the underground world.

In the vast underground world, devices carried by ten powerful individuals, located in different layers and areas, suddenly began to BEEP.

Some of them were indulging in pleasure, some were engaged in grueling training, some were drunk to oblivion, and some were reprimanding their subordinates...

All of them simultaneously adopted a grave expression. "Juglans... that fearsome guy is back!"

An invisible wave spread rapidly to every corner of the underground world.

The ten kings all issued virtually the same command to their subordinates, "Go and investigate what's happened recently. I need to know why that fellow Juglans suddenly returned!"

「 」

A heavily armed convoy thundered past, the thugs aboard clutching their weapons and vigilantly scanning their surroundings.

Gorilla whispered, "Do you see that? That's the fourth armed convoy to pass by in a short time. These guys are going crazy!"

"We're trapped here now, and we don't dare make any rash moves!"

"Hurry over and meet up. We need to figure out what exactly is happening."

Chen Gu acknowledged. Just then, another group of armed thugs charged past him, shouting.

But Chen Gu had Mind Belief, which allowed him to avoid these thugs and plot a safe route forward.

Suddenly, at an unavoidable intersection up ahead, seven or eight thugs were setting up a checkpoint.

They were holding two unfortunate women, dragging them into the shadows. Soon, low growls and the women's painfully suppressed screams could be heard.

Chen Gu's expression turned as cold as steel as he emerged from the darkness.

The thugs shouted, "Who's there? Get over here and be searched! This is an order from Lord Night Fiend..."

He didn't finish his sentence when something in the dark slashed across his neck, and his head tumbled to the ground.

"Bastard! He killed A-Gou!" the thugs cried out, snatching up their weapons, only to feel something slash across their wrists. Their hands, still clutching their weapons, immediately detached from their bodies and fell to the ground.

Blood GUSHED from their wrists.

"AAAHHH—"

Screams erupted one after another as something kept whirling through the darkness. Many a thug's scream was abruptly cut short as the object sliced through their throat.

The two unfortunate women suddenly felt the thugs pinning them down go still. Then, the thugs' heads fell off, some landing on the women's faces, followed by a gush of blood from their severed necks that drenched them.

The two women were petrified, not even noticing Chen Gu swiftly moving past them as everything quieted down.

When they came back to their senses, all they saw were mutilated corpses scattered everywhere. They quickly composed themselves and fled.

Seconds later, they returned, picked up some of the weapons from the ground, and stripped all the valuables from the bodies.

「 」

Chen Gu opened his hand. The object he had used to wreak such havoc landed in his palm—it was a stainless steel dinner knife he had brought from the hotel.

He looked at the map, realizing that he wasn't far from Gorilla now, and he quickened his pace.

「 」

Juglans interrogated a few underlings and quickly obtained the information he wanted.

He was very satisfied with his methods. Although he had left this world for several years, his "skills" had not diminished.

He tracked his target relentlessly, his nose constantly sniffing the air, finding many corpses cast aside in dark corners. Soon, he had outlined the entire trajectory of his target's movements in his mind.

He was somewhat puzzled. This guy seems to have a clear objective... What exactly does he want to achieve by entering this world?

「 」

Marcus and his two companions had just dealt with another problem. Four modified, ancient maglev cars were parked haphazardly around them, their thug occupants now all corpses. The nearby walls and ground were riddled with bullet holes.

"This is unreasonable..." Marcus muttered, full of doubt. "Has the response speed of the underground world increased this much?"

Their strategy was the same: avoid the thugs if possible, but if cornered, strike without mercy.

This was the second convoy they had taken care of.

Silver Eagle approached him. "Boss, what do we do now?"

Marcus reached out, seeming to catch something in the air. Man Suling and Juglans could track by sniffing scents in the air. Marcus, however, could capture the actual scent particles, analyze them, and draw conclusions for tracking—this was a use of his Alchemist abilities.

"We must speed up; that guy is getting further and further away," Marcus sighed. This situation is exactly what I wanted to avoid. It's too dangerous.

「 」

Gorilla and Man Suling had already changed hiding spots several times. The thugs were all too familiar with this area, and many places Gorilla considered secret were discovered by their pursuers.

Each time, they narrowly escaped at the last moment, thanks to their superior speed and agility as Professionals.

"Damn it!" Gorilla cursed. "Chen Gu, how much longer are you going to be?"

A hand reached from behind and patted his shoulder lightly, startling Gorilla.

Chen Gu said calmly, "I'm here."

The tense Gorilla relaxed. He turned his head and glared at Man Suling. My perception might be lacking, but you're a Magic Mountain Werewolf with sharp spiritual senses! You couldn't even warn me someone was approaching?

But one look at her nearly made Gorilla's blood boil.

Man Suling now sported a pair of fluffy beast ears and a snow-white wolf tail, which wagged happily towards Chen Gu!

Man Suling didn't notice Gorilla, who was on the verge of a meltdown. Of course, she had smelled Chen Gu's approach a long time ago. That scent... it's so comforting, so soothing—it's the Prince's scent!

For the moment, Man Suling was oblivious to anything else.

Gorilla's anger shifted to his old friend. It's all this idiot's fault! He viciously asked Chen Gu, "What do we do now?"

Chen Gu seriously considered for a moment before answering, "Fight our way through!"

Gorilla: "..."

Chen Gu switched to Nuclear Explosion Nun's memory and asked Gorilla, "Do we have any pretty weapons?"

Damn it! Chen Gu cursed inwardly once more. Those damned memories of Milna Katerina! What I meant to ask was if we have any 'useful' weapons!
