Chen Sabi was sweating profusely, crazily yet cleverly nodding at Bai Gu, with a trembling voice: "Master Gu, Chen has realized his mistake, I'm sorry, I will serve you tea later and kowtow in apology."

"Have your father come here and kneel down to apologize in person," Bai Gu said indifferently.

Chen Sabi's mouth hung open, hesitating, and then he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. Looking down, he was nearly scared to death. A dagger in Bai Gu's hand was pressed against his neck, and blood was already seeping out.

"Master Gu, spare my life, I was wrong, later my father and I will personally serve you tea and kowtow in apology, wo-wo," Chen Sabi's lower body trembled violently, and he actually peed himself.

He could never have imagined that at the underworld meeting, Bai Gu would dare to bring a knife and enter; would he not be afraid of being caught at the security check-in later?

Anyone who attempted to enter the venue with a weapon, no matter who it was, if discovered, the consequence was execution. Was Bai Gu not afraid of death?

Bai Gu whispered threateningly in his ear, "Stay away from Master Lin in the future, he is someone you cannot afford to offend."

Chen Sabi nodded hurriedly, thinking shockingly: "Pretty Boy Lin, oh no, just who is this Master Lin? Even Bai Gu calls him Master, he's clearly a dark horse!"

At this moment, he was trembling with fear, worried about offending Lin Hai again, and when he looked at Lin Hai, his eyes were filled with reverence.

Tang Bingyan became even more curious, just who is Lin Hai? Could he really be that person? Do Bai Gu and he know each other?

The elevator reached the fifth basement level, the doors opened, and everyone started to walk out.

Chen Sabi finally took a sigh of relief.

Su Wanjing saw him collapsed in a corner, reached out with her delicate hand, and helped him up.

"Thank you, Miss Su, thank you," Chen Sabi was genuinely grateful at this moment.

"Don't mention it, I just want to ask you for a favor," Su Wanjing said with a smile.

"Miss Su, please tell me, I will do my utmost to help," Chen Sabi said quickly.

"Trouble Young Master Chen to avoid provoking our Lin Hai in the future. If you wish to target Lin Hai, the entire Su Family wouldn't mind going to war with the Axe Gang."

After saying that, Su Wanjing politely nodded at him, turned around, and walked out of the elevator to catch up with Lin Hai, leaving arm in arm.

Chen Sabi stood there in a daze, completely stunned.

"Lin... just who is he!"

Both Bai Gu and Miss Su were protecting the same person; even if Chen Sabi was truly a fool, he dared not offend.

He found that his 24K golden dog eyes were completely blind.

He failed to recognize a truly impressive figure, foolishly attempting to send cronies to ambush him; fortunately, the other party was magnanimous. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he'd died by now.

The fifth basement level, which was originally pitch black, turned into a luxurious scene of sparkling gold and dazzling lights after opening a massive wooden door.

Dim light refracted from the crystal chandeliers above, over a dozen men in suits wrapped their arms around beautiful women, followed by two serious bodyguards, holding wine glasses and having a great time. To the uninformed, it might seem like a private gathering of high society.

The person in charge of security at the entrance soon finished the check, and Bai Gu's dagger passed through with him.

"I am the head of security for this underground world meeting in Huadu," Bai Gu explained to Lin Hai with a smile.

"Holy shit, that's a powerful position." Lin Hai suddenly realized why Bai Gu dared to carry a dagger – he was the head of security, so it was fitting for him to carry some weapons.

Chen Sabi followed behind, almost tripping; he had guessed wrong, the other wasn't just blindly brave but had nothing to fear.

"Choosing Bai Gu as the head of security is because he is a paranoid person, hardly anyone can persuade him to engage in scheming, hence such a person is all the more reliable," Su Wanjing analyzed.

Lin Hai nodded. It seemed that being obsessive and extreme could sometimes be an advantage.

He suddenly realized that everyone's personality is different, and so is their fate, just like the techniques of Ancient Martial — they evolve from the same foundation, yet why do they need to be so varied? It's to allow one to shine with a unique brilliance in life (the Martial Path).

He had been fixated on perfecting the Eighth Style of the Eight Stele Hand, but had overlooked the fact that the techniques he currently mastered were enough to continuously evolve. Every minute change in detail is a form of innovation.

As long as one grasps the fundamental essence and rules of the technique, modifying and flexibly applying it could be done with ease, naturally.

In an instant, this epiphany cleared his mind, and many thoughts became accessible to him.

Although his Gang Qi had not increased, in terms of realm, he had already stepped out from being a second-class expert and entered the level that a first-class Supreme Strong should have.

As long as his Gang Qi volume reached the required level, Lin Hai could step into the realm of a first-class Supreme Strong at any moment.

"Haha, Master Gu, long time no see, you're even more impressive now." A middle-aged man, as skinny as a monkey yet with a face full of determination, wearing a black suit, approached with a warm smile.

"This is Dog King," Bai Gu introduced to Lin Hai.

Judging by the name, one would expect a burly and fierce man. Furthermore, Dog King was known in Huadu as an extremely fierce individual. Who would have thought he'd be so scrawny?

"And who is this?" Dog King inquired curiously as he looked at Lin Hai, his interest piqued by someone who could stand alongside Miss Su of the Su Family.

"This is my big brother, Master Lin," Bai Gu whispered to Dog King.

Dog King's eyes widened as he examined Lin Hai more carefully, still in disbelief, he exclaimed, "Master Gu, you're kidding me, right? Since when did you have a big brother?"

In his covert identity, he was a trusted brother of Bai Gu; he couldn't believe that his own big brother could have an even greater one.

"Brother Lin's status is extraordinary; you only need to know that he's one of us, and he will absolutely not harm us. Just listen and do as you're told," Bai Gu whispered again.

Dog King nodded and respectfully said to Lin Hai, "Greetings, Master Lin."

"Brother Gou, don't be like that. We're all brothers here; just call me Lin Hai."

"Brother Hai."

Lin Hai was speechless, but since Dog King preferred to call him that, he let it be.

"Brother Lin."

"Lin Hai."

Yu Tianlin arrived with Kui Wood Wolf.

Liu Qianhui also came, followed by two former elders of the Mad Blade Group.

Though the Mad Blade Group was destroyed, as the only daughter of the former boss of the Mad Blade Group in Huadu, she still had the right to come.

"Eh? Brother Hai knows quite a few people, huh?" Dog King said in surprise.

Yu Tianlin grinned at Dog King and whispered in his ear, "Brother Lin is your big brother, and he's my big brother too. Of course, that includes Miss Liu, who also belongs to Brother Lin now."

"What?!" Dog King took in a deep breath; his gaze became incredibly complex.

Bai Gu, Yu Tianlin, himself, Liu Qianhui, as well as Su Wanjing, were all revolving around one man!

Didn't that indirectly mean that nearly half of Huadu's underground powers were under the control of one man?!

Only the combined forces of the Axe Gang, Bolan Company, Blood Soul Company, and the newly emerging Hailing Gang and R Gang could possibly contend with this one person.

"Yo, Mr. Lin, long time no see," a voice with a mixture of impure Chinese and an English accent unpleasantly rang out.
