Huadu, a nightclub nestled in a secluded corner, not particularly large, with a ratty sign hanging outside that read "Reincarnation Nightclub."
Nearly deserted all day, yet today, early in the morning, a middle-aged man in a suit with an indifferent expression came in and sat at the bar, shaking an empty glass.
"Sir, what may I get for you? We have a wide selection of drinks," Bilina asked with a smile.
The middle-aged man tapped on the bar rhythmically, spread his palm flat on the surface, then pointed to the spot he had just wiped.
Bilina looked puzzled, thinking how odd this customer was, exuding an aura akin to an official, yet not quite like those government types, carrying the vibes of both officialdom and the underworld.
She followed the gentleman's pointed direction on the table, her expression changed momentarily, then she forced a smile and asked, "Sir, how could you doodle on our table like that?"
Finally, the man slowly raised his head, took off his sunglasses, and revealed a pair of profound eyes.
Bilina felt extremely anxious; this middle-aged man gave her an unsettling feeling.
"You're not from Star Plate?" he asked.
"Sir, I don't know what you're talking about. If you're looking for someone, you've got the wrong place. We don't have anything to do with Star Plate; we're just a small nightclub," Bilina replied.
The middle-aged man let out a chuckle and continued with his rhythmic knocking on the table, producing a deep sound. After a while, he stood up and walked towards the door, slowly saying, "The kid hiding in the corner on the left, you're quite strong, a Super First-class Expert. Go back and tell King Yan, Yanhuang Soul's Long Si wants to talk. It's best to choose a secluded place, let's meet in the suburbs; there seems to be a hidden Tomb of Honor there, burying some old acquaintances."
Kui Wood Wolf was shocked, wanting to stop the man, but in an instant, he realized that the stranger had vanished.
Kui Wood Wolf stepped outside the nightclub and found the surrounding roads empty. The man who claimed to be "Yanhuang Soul's Long Si" seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
Narrowing his eyes, Kui Wood Wolf reached his peak state of spirit, qi, and mind and muttered to himself, "An Expert, stronger than me!"
...
At Youming Ya Group, Lin Hai came out of the CEO's office chuckling, ready to tease Murong Xue and ask if she wanted to experience what 10 centimeters felt like, when his phone suddenly rang.
Glancing at the number, Lin Hai kept smiling but his mood for teasing faded, and he diverted into the restroom. Checking for privacy, he answered the call.
"Boss, there's something I must tell you," Kui Wood Wolf said with a somewhat grim voice over the phone.
"Oh? What is it?" Lin Hai asked.
"This morning, a middle-aged man came by, dressed in a black suit, tie, and sunglasses. He knew our nightclub is a Star Plate stronghold, and even mentioned your name," Kui Wood Wolf said, concern in his tone. He prided himself in his ability to hide perfectly but was stunned to be discovered.
"What does he want?" Lin Hai asked, his eyes narrowing as his mind raced.
"He claims to be Yanhuang Soul's Long Si and wants to meet you," Kui Wood Wolf replied.
"Yanhuang Soul? Long Si? What's he doing in Huadu again? This time he seems thoroughly prepared, even discovering the location of my Star Plate." Lin Hai murmured to himself, fully aware that it was impossible to evade the Huaxia government's surveillance completely, especially a privileged organization like Yanhuang Soul who could investigate someone at any necessary cost—just a matter of time.
However, since they could find Star Plate, it meant they still didn't know his true identity; otherwise, they would have come directly to Youming Ya Group in broad daylight, where he would have been entirely on the defensive.
"Big brother, he also hinted that he wants to meet you in the suburb of Huadu. He said there's a Tomb of Honor there, burying an old acquaintance."
Hearing this, Lin Hai's eyes suddenly flashed dangerously.
Indeed, there was a Tomb of Honor in Huadu, and it did bury an acquaintance—Little Scorpion, Lin Hai's everlasting pain, his once most beloved woman.
"Big brother, I've already sent people to surveil the place. If Yanhuang Soul dares to desecrate Big Sister-in-law's resting place, we might as well go all out against them, making sure they can't disturb her peace," Kui Wood Wolf's tone carried murderous intent.
"No need, if Long Si dares to desecrate Little Scorpion's Tomb of Honor, I will make the entire Yanhuang Soul accompany her in burial!" Lin Hai stated, word by word.
With that statement, an endless dominance seemed to emanate from Lin Hai's being.
Yanhuang Soul, one of Huaxia's most powerful intelligence agencies, boasting incredible combat strength, with Legendary Experts and numerous individuals with Abnormal Skills, which weren't superpowers but rather innate talents—photographic memory, congenital insensitivity to pain, the ability to breathe underwater for hours, and those possessing extreme resistance to fire, poison, or cold.
Additionally, these individuals with Abnormal Skills were trained in Huaxia's Ancient Martial arts; when matched in combat power, their innate talents provided them with a significant advantage.
Backed by the whole nation, with vast resources and privileges, their strength was formidable.
Even RX organization wouldn't dare to openly challenge Yanhuang Soul, only underhanded skirmishes.
But for Lin Hai, he didn't care how powerful they were or how prestigious their identities—once they touched the scars in his heart, the most fearsome people had to face the King of Soldiers's wrath and the King of Assassins's mad retribution.
How could a man dominate the world and protect his most cherished without towering confidence and unruly arrogance?
In certain dire situations, Lin Hai could easily abandon life and law, consequence-be-damned, making enemies tremble.
Upon hearing this, Kui Wood Wolf swallowed hard and thought admiringly, "No wonder he's the boss, to speak such heaven-defying words." He knew if his boss said it, he'd really do it.
The thought of potentially battling the eastern powerhouse, trained by Huaxia and recognized as the strongest in the world—Yanhuang Soul—stirred Kui Wood Wolf's blood. "That's what being a real man is about, fearless and relentless, ready to take it to the grave with any adversary," he thought.
"Alright, I'm off to meet Mr. Long Si now."
"Boss, do we need to hide?"
"No need. If he could find you, it means he's stronger than you. I've met him once before; I can't believe how quickly his strength has increased."
