Inside the villa, Lin Hai comfortably leaned back on the soft leather sofa, lighting up a cigarette.

"Feels good to be back home. That Long Si is no simple character."

"People whose title starts with 'Long'... haha, must be from that mysterious Dynasty organization, the Yanhuang Soul. It's said that their ranks are filled with experts. Long Si suddenly appearing by my side suggests that he's caught some traces of me."

Lin Hai rapidly analyzed in his mind.

Although he was confident in defeating Long Si, messing with the Yanhuang Soul was still a troublesome matter, especially since he had to mingle in the Dynasty for the time being. It was best not to clash with such local snakes.

"If someone behind the scenes wants to play with me, Lin is up for it to the end."

Lin Hai stood up, returned to his room, and took out a spare mobile phone from a secret compartment under his bed, dialing Judge's number.

"Pretend to be me and stir up some big trouble internationally. Someone's got their eyes fixed on me here, I need to divert their attention. Also, take a good look into just who the bastard pulling the strings behind the scenes is," Lin Hai rapidly explained in code to Judge.

"Understood." Judge answered steadily.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Hai circulated the Gang Qi in his body and shattered the mobile phone into dust.

"Yanhuang Soul, haha, it is said that at their peak, they had exactly three Legendary experts. But apparently, they offended someone. One of the Legendary experts was beaten to a pulp and not long after fleeing back to Yanhuang Soul, he kicked the bucket."

"Ts, ts, I really want to know, who has the guts to kill a person from Yanhuang Soul and still be unharmed to this day?"

Lin Hai recalled the information on the major powers stored in his mind.

Soon after, Judge's call came back.

"Big brother, the trouble you've been causing lately has all been manipulated by someone named Zhang Shenxu. However, there's certainly someone behind him pulling the strings. That person is very secretive, but according to intelligence, it's very likely Yu Hailing."

"Yu Hailing?" Lin Hai was unfamiliar with the name.

"Brother of Yu Haijing. He's from the direct lineage of the Yu Family, one of the Six Great Families of Yanjing and the future leader of the Yu clan. He's cunning, ruthless, adept in scheming, and deeply favored by the Yu Family's only Supreme Strong, Yu Tianlong. He's also one of Su Wanjing's suitors."

Judge provided a brief overview of Yu Hailing to Lin Hai.

Lin Hai's gaze was cold. When he was in a rational state of mind, the lazy and decadent air about him had already dispersed, replaced by an aura akin to that of a king.

The Seven Great Families of Yanjing were the Lin Family, Ye Family, Xiao Family, Yang Family, Yu Family, Cao Family, and the mysterious Xuanyuan Family.

Back then, Lin Family and Ye Family were the most glorious, subtly suppressing the other five families.

However, one day, both the Lin and Ye families suddenly experienced a great calamity. Countless in their clans within the business, political, and expert circles died unexpectedly, and eventually they were significantly weakened, lying low these past years.

Currently, in Yanjing, the strongest are the Yang Family and Yu Family. As for the Cao Family, they manage to survive amongst the competition from these families.

In addition is the Xuanyuan Family, whose members are even more mysterious and low-profile. It is said that every descendant from the family will directly enter the Yanhuang Soul or the Inner Palace.

Yanhuang Soul consists of a group of powerful special agents, above even the Security Bureau, responsible for matters involving various domestic and international experts.

The Inner Palace, commonly known as the Inner Palace Tributor, those Central South Sea bodyguards are mostly selected from the military and after special training by the Inner Palace Tributor, they officially take up the role to protect the Chiefs. It's no exaggeration to say, to become an Inner Palace Tributor, one must at least be a First-class peak level Expert.

Lin Hai vaguely remembered, when he was paying attention to this information back then, the Xuanyuan Family, and the Inner Palace Tributor seemed to have been involved in the sudden calamity of the Lin and Ye families, although he didn't know the exact circumstances at the time.

"A single Yu Family can't do much to me for the time being, besides, the grudge from back then seems to have a deep connection with the Yu Family as well."

Lin Hai murmured, his eyes icy cold.

Judge replied over the phone, "The Yu Family seems to have an intricate connection with the RX organization."

"If the Yu Family indeed has close ties with the RX organization, I think Huaxia's number one Chief wouldn't just sit idly by. Let's observe the situation calmly, respond unchangingly to every change, and when the true mastermind behind the scenes is found, then take our revenge!"

The thought of the grudge from the past made Lin Hai's eyes turn bloodshot.

"Big brother, Li Changfeng seems to know about the past, should we...?" Judge asked.

"No, even if Li is down on his luck, he's still our brother. He's chosen a different path and if he's unwilling to speak, I won't force him," Lin Hai shook his head and said.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Lin back?" Suddenly, the voice of a stranger came from downstairs, very polite in tone.

Lin Hai ended the call with Judge, walked out of his room, and headed to the living room. There he saw a middle-aged man dressed in a black suit, slightly chubby, and wearing a congenial smile.

"I am Lin Hai."

"Mr. Lin, hello. My humble self is Zhang. There's a distinguished guest who would like to catch up with Mr. Lin. Would it be convenient for you now?"

The middle-aged man's demeanor was respectful.

Lin Hai immediately recognized that the man before him, donning a slick grin of a genial person, must belong to the system.

"Oh? Who's looking for me?" Lin Hai asked curiously, since he always deliberately maintained his distance from those within the system. Why would someone suddenly come looking for him?

"Mr. Lin, I cannot and dare not say. However, I can reveal a little—the friend wishes to see you, and it's certainly someone you've been wanting to meet," the middle-aged man said with a mysterious smile.

Lin Hai pondered for a moment, revealing a smile, curious about who the other party might be. Meeting face-to-face would make it clear.

"Alright, let's meet this mysterious old acquaintance then."

"Mr. Lin, please follow me. The car is ready outside," the middle-aged man was clearly well-prepared.

Lin Hai followed him out of the villa, cavalier and fearless, with an air of indifference.

A domestic Hongqi sedan was prominently parked outside the villa, seemingly waiting for some time already.
