Yue'er looked at the stunning beauty in shock. "Miss, is his power really that strong?"
Lan Xingyue's red lips parted slightly. "His strength can only be described as unfathomable. Plus, he won the championship of this basketball tournant, gaining the qualification to enter the secret realm. I must join their team to retrieve the lost item."
"Miss, you want to enter the secret realm? That place is extrely dangerous! Last ti..." Yue'er said, her voice tinged with agitation.
"Last ti, I don't know if it was an accident or a conspiracy, but my sister went in and never ca out. No matter what, I have to enter the secret realm and uncover the truth."
A resolute glint flashed in Lan Xingyue's beautiful eyes as she fixed her gaze on the distant mountains, her expression turning icy cold.
...
In the diterranean, inside an ancient castle.
A man draped in a black cloak emanated an overwhelming sense of killing intent.
In front of him lay a corpse—it was Eugene, killed by Lin Chen.
Inside the castle, the atmosphere was oppressively heavy. A man wearing a skull mask gently stroked the stiffened corpse.
"Speak. What exactly happened?"
From the masked man emanated an icy evil aura. His blood-red eyes behind the mask glinted with a cold light.
"My lord was killed in Huaxia by soone nad Lin Chen. That brat is outrageously arrogant. Even knowing my lord's identity, he still struck ruthlessly," a man dressed in black knelt below, trembling as he spoke.
The skull-masked man bellowed, his voice piercing and sharp, "Tell Moson that for this operation, no one is to be left alive. I want them to pay in blood."
"Y-Yes!" The kneeling man's body shook violently. Sweat had already drenched his back as he hastily responded.
The skull-masked man stroked the corpse, his eyes gleaming with frost. "Child, don't worry. I believe you're only sleeping. Once I find the Flower of Life, I'll bring you back."
anwhile, in Huaxia, Lin Chen had just left the clubhouse with a group of gorgeous won.
Everyone was in high spirits today, having drunk quite a bit.
Lin Chen was mulling over whether to use the chance to pull off a bold stunt involving all seven beauties, but just then, his phone suddenly rang.
"Who on earth is calling at this mont?" That beautiful image he'd been daydreaming about was shattered, and with a hint of irritation, Lin Chen answered the call.
"Lin Chen, it's Long Yin. Could you co to see ? It's about entering the secret realm," Long Yin said.
"Alright, I'll head over right away," Lin Chen nodded and replied.
"Xiaohua, you all head back first. I have so business to attend to," Lin Chen said.
An Xiaodi pouted, clearly displeased. "Fess up—are you going to see another beauty again?"
She spoke with a look of deep resentnt. "Xiaohua sis, you see how he always flirts when you're not around. Now even with you here, he keeps it up."
Zhao Xiaohua glanced at Lin Chen but rely said in a calm tone, "Go ahead. You're being watched by many people now. Stay safe."
Her response left the other won montarily stunned. That was way too understanding.
However, Zhao Xiaohua's next words sent a chill through Lin Chen's heart. "If you're really going to handle business, go and co back promptly. But if you're eting so woman, I'll personally ensure you get a proper punishnt for all of us."
As she spoke, Zhao Xiaohua's gaze deliberately flicked downward between Lin Chen's legs, causing an uneasy shiver to run through him.
Lin Chen hailed a cab and arrived at the entrance of a skyscraper.
Just as he stepped out of the car, a young man approached him eagerly.
"Advisor Lin, this way, please," the young man said with a cheerful smile.
"Are you from the Dragon Unit?" Lin Chen asked.
The young man nodded. "Yes, I'm from the Dragon Unit's Zhonghai Division."
"Oh!" Lin Chen responded, a twinge of unease rising in his gut.
Looks like this journey to the secret realm won't be as straightforward as he'd imagined.
Following the young man, Lin Chen entered the building.
Instead of ascending, the elevator descended directly underground.
Exiting the elevator, Lin Chen realized that this was, in fact, a secret base.
The young man led Lin Chen to the front of a room.
At the door, the young man stopped. "Mr. Lin, Senior Long Yin is waiting for you inside."
Lin Chen nodded, pushing the door open to step inside, only to be surprised by the sight of a gorgeous beauty seated alongside Long Yin.
The girl was sitting on the sofa. She lifted her head, revealing an exquisitely stunning face. Her brows were shaped like slender willow leaves, carrying a hint of coolness, and her beautiful eyes were as clear as a crescent moon.
She wore a pale lavender dress, her golden hair casually tied, cascading past her slender, delicate waist.
Her refined nose, cherry-pink lips, flawless skin, and impossibly perfect features were reminiscent of an ethereal fairy descended to the mortal realm.
The girl faintly smiled, and Lin Chen, gazing at her subtle dimples, found himself montarily captivated.
That beauty was none other than Lan Xingyue, the owner of the Ronghua Club.
Upon seeing Lin Chen, Long Yin chuckled and said, "Xiao Chen, let
introduce you—this is Lan Xingyue, from Battle Dragon."
"Battle Dragon!"
Lin Chen's gaze hardened slightly. Battle Dragon was a special operations force under the military, composed entirely of elites.
It was an even more fearso combat unit than the Dragon Unit. If the Dragon Unit was responsible for maintaining dostic security, Battle Dragon bore the heavy responsibility of eliminating all threats from hostile organizations within and beyond Huaxia's borders.
"Hello!" Lin Chen said with a smile, extending his hand.
Lan Xingyue smiled faintly, stretching out her delicate hand in return.
When Lin Chen's hand grasped hers, smooth and as flawless as jade, he felt an instant sense of indulgence.
This hand was soft and silky; holding it was pure bliss in itself.
As their hands interlocked, a mischievous glint appeared in Lan Xingyue's beautiful eyes, and a surge of energy emanated from her palm to Lin Chen's.
Just as Lin Chen was savoring the mont, he suddenly felt the force gathering from her grip.
"Damn, this girl's strength is impressive. Good thing it's —any other person would've had their hand crushed."
Lin Chen grinned lightly and teased, "So, beauty, why aren't you letting go? Don't tell
you can't bear to part?"
Long Yin, noticing the tension between the two, chuckled softly from the side.
"Xingyue, no need to try so hard. Lin Chen also has a tal attribute."
Lan Xingyue looked slightly surprised. "But earlier, I thought I felt fire spiritual power from him!"
Long Yin burst out in laughter. "Xiao Chen possesses both tal and fire attributes. He's a true anomaly."
Originally planning to give Lin Chen a little intimidation, Lan Xingyue found herself having her hand held advantageously for quite a while instead.
"Have you had enough?" Lan Xingyue said exasperatedly, glowering.
Lin Chen smiled awkwardly before quickly releasing her hand. "Beauty, this is our first eting—please take care of ."
"Don't worry, I'll make sure to take care of you properly," Lan Xingyue replied coldly.
Long Yin shook his head in mild resignation. "Alright, take a seat."
Lin Chen took a seat on the sofa, feeling parched. Without thinking, he picked up the glass in front of him and drank from it.
Lan Xingyue's beautiful eyes imdiately froze. Lin Chen, noticing her strange reaction, paused and asked, "Beauty, I know I'm handso, but if you stare at
like that, I'll start to feel shy."
"You're drinking from my glass." Lan Xingyue now had the urge to tear Lin Chen into pieces.
