Ultimate: Gangster Youth, starting with release from prison

Beneath ZACK's feet bloomed a delicate and beautiful flower, its petals crystal clear, as if crafted from jade, while its stamens were bright red, exuding a chilling and sinister aura.

"ZACK, what are you standing on?"

Lin Yu arrived in front of ZACK in the blink of an eye, looking at the flower with a heavy gaze, vaguely sensing an evil spreading.

ZACK smirked as he looked at Lin Yu and said in an icy tone, "I advise you not to keep asking questions."

"Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu roared, his eyes blazing with intense light, instantly immobilizing ZACK. His armor transformed into golden light, swirling and eventually turning into a black dragon that coiled around ZACK. A vast aura enveloped ZACK, causing his knees to involuntarily bend.

ZACK gritted his teeth and stood firm, veins bulging on his forehead, his face stubborn and unwilling to bow his head!

"Snap!"

The black dragon roared and tightened its grip on ZACK, causing ZACK's bones to crack and even producing wisps of smoke, demonstrating the immense strength the black dragon was using.

"Your Majesty!"

Lin Yu roared again, and the black dragon roared, causing blood to appear on ZACK's body.

ZACK's face contorted as he growled, "Bastard, what the hell! What kind of skill is this?"

A mocking smile appeared on Lin Yu's lips as he calmly said, "The power of this armor can suppress all evil. Someone with your low combat strength can be easily dealt with."

"what!!"

ZACK howled incessantly, his body slowly and uncontrollably kneeling down until he finally lay prone on the ground, his eyes fixed on Lin Yu with intense hatred.

"You should know what this is, right?" Lin Yu slowly walked forward, looking down at ZACK.

He reached out to pick the strange flower, but found that he couldn't touch it at all.

Lin Yu frowned slightly and said coldly, "Tell me, what exactly is this thing? Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

ZACK said, "Why should I tell you?"

"Because I can kill you!" As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, the black dragon roared, circling ZACK, ready to kill him at any moment.

"Wait, don't rush..." ZACK immediately stopped Lin Yu, "Aren't you curious about who that female demon is?"

"Speak," Lin Yu paused for a moment.

“That flower is called the Red Spider Lily, something the female demon specifically requested,” ZACK explained painfully.

Lin Yu frowned even more. He had no interest in that so-called "other shore flower," but he knew the true identity of the female demon. So he coldly questioned, "The important thing is, who exactly is she!"

"Her identity is extremely mysterious; I have no idea what it is."

"Back then, when I was wandering in the land of exile in the Bronze Dimension, a golden figure suddenly found me and asked me to go to the Gold Dimension to help the female demon leave."

ZACK seemed to remember something, his eyes narrowed slightly: "That person was terrifying. The first time I saw him, I was so scared that I didn't resist and could only obediently listen to him."

After listening, Lin Yu remained silent for a long time before asking, "What does she want these flowers for?"

“She didn’t tell me,” ZACK waved his hand.

"But I feel that this red spider lily is connected to something."

"What is that thing you're talking about?" Lin Yu asked, narrowing his eyes.

ZACK looked up, his eyes fixed on the strange flower. "I can't really say what it is, but it's definitely not simple."

"Do you think I'd let you go after I found out about this?" Lin Yu sneered.

"You won't kill me."

Z (Good Money) ACK said very firmly, "You want to understand how the female demon was sealed away, why she is so mysterious, and why she had to be personally suppressed by the Golden Pen Master."

"The Golden Pen Master is suppressing it? That seal actually requires the Golden Pen Master's power?" Lin Yu's heart was in turmoil. All the experts of the Martial Alliance had perished, and the Golden Pen Master had also disappeared. Now he understood everything. It was all because of that seal.

"Want to know what happened back then? If you do, bring me the spider lily!"

Just as Lin Yu was pondering this, Dugu Lang said something. Lin Yu suddenly turned around and saw a crazed face. Dugu Lang was standing nearby, his eyes shining as he stared intently at the other shore flower.

His eyes were filled with that red spider lily.

Lin Yu's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly realized something.

【443】Recalling the past

"Do you really want to understand what happened back then?" His tone was questioning, and his eyes were full of disbelief. Although he was certain that Dugu Lang knew a lot of things, he still thought that Dugu Lang was not very reliable.

"The great battle back then could be said to have happened suddenly. That female demon appeared out of nowhere and attacked all the powerful people with underhanded tactics. She was so powerful that no one could defeat her."

"At that time, Jinbi Ke was not in the Jin Dimension. In the end, a group of martial arts masters fought to the death to defeat her. By the time Jinbi Ke returned, it was too late. He could only maintain the seal for so many years."

Dugu Lang let out a long sigh. If the Martial Alliance hadn't disappeared, the Martial Judgment Organization wouldn't have emerged later, and none of those things would have happened. He could have lived like an ordinary person after passing the driving test.

Lin Yu calmly said, "I've heard most of what you've said before, so it's as if you haven't said anything at all."

"So what exactly do you want to hear?" Dugu Lang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lin Yu calmly said, "I want to find out just how powerful the Martial Alliance was back then."

Dugu Lang snorted lightly, "Hmph! Back then, apart from the 'Swift Traveler' ability user, the rest of the Iron Dimension weren't even worth a fight against the Gold Dimension. They were completely no match for the Gold Dimension."

Hearing this, Lin Yu felt even more gloomy. If that was the case, that woman's true power was probably unfathomable. Even Jin Bi Ke was helpless against her and could only continue to suppress her, which showed how powerful she was.

"Now can you hand over the Red Spider Lily to me?" Dugu Lang's voice was tinged with anxiety.

Lin Yu glanced at him calmly: "Giving you the other shore flower is no problem, but you have to let me reset your combat power to zero."

"Absolutely not!" Dugu Lang refused outright.

"Hmph." Lin Yu chuckled.

Do you think you still have the right to bargain with me?

Dugu Lang glared angrily at Lin Yu: "Lin Yu, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Lin Yu said calmly, "I just want to help a tragic woman fulfill a wish as her life is about to end."

Dugu Lang's heart tightened; he sensed something was wrong and asked in a dry tone, "What do you mean by that?"

Lin Yu's words remained calm: "Gu Zhan's mother is dying."

Dugu Lang's face turned deathly pale. "You, how do you know about this?"

"What do you think?" Lin Yu asked, his face completely expressionless.

Dugu Lang stopped speaking. He vaguely guessed a certain outcome but was unwilling to admit it, because it was too cruel for him.

After a long while, Dugu Lang looked up at Lin Yu and squeezed out a few words: "Bring the other shore flower!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's eyes widened, and a powerful force instantly suppressed Dugu Lang, causing his combat power to decrease.

"No...no!!" Dugu Lang felt his combat power rapidly decreasing and couldn't help but shout out.

For years, he had been tormented by hatred every day. He finally found an opportunity to resolve his troubles, but then this happened. For him, it was tantamount to losing the most important thing, and he was in unbearable pain.

Lin Yu's eyes were cold as he stretched out his left hand, purple lightning crackling in it. "I'm helping you. If I weren't so unwilling to accept this, you would already be dead."

Feeling resentful?

This was the last thought that flashed through Dugu Lang's mind before he lost consciousness.

As the lightning spread, Dugu Lang's body began to soften, and his fighting power dissipated in ZACK's horrified gaze until it was completely gone.

"Just who is this guy? He wiped out Lone Wolf's fighting ability with just one look?"

ZACK's heart raced, his eyes filled with fear. The scene he had just witnessed was terrifying; it was not something a superhuman should possess.

ZACK wondered to himself, "Just how strong is he?"

Lin Yu looked at the unconscious Dugu Lang, then turned his gaze to ZACK and said in a calm tone, "I have a special ability pill here. Take it, and I'll let you give the other shore flower to that woman."

ZACK was stunned after hearing this, staring at Lin Yu in surprise. He never expected that Lin Yu would not only spare his life but also ask him to take the other shore flower away.

"Are you really going to ask me to leave?" ZACK probed cautiously, his feelings a mix of emotions.

Lin Yu ignored him, produced a pill crackling with lightning in his hand, tossed it to ZACK, and said indifferently, "Eat this, and I'll let you leave."

After thinking for a moment, ZACK took the pill that Lin Yu threw to him and swallowed it in one gulp.

Lightning flashed, and ZACK felt a sharp pain inside his body, causing him to curl up.

Lin Yu looked at the agonizing ZACK and smiled, saying, "If I want you dead, I can kill you with a single thought using the lightning within your body. Don't cause any trouble, understand?"

"You want me to become your spy?" ZACK asked, his face pale and covered in sweat, clearly in great pain.

Lin Yu calmly said, "If we join forces and each solve our own problems, that's in line with the principle of a win-win situation."

ZACK nodded. He had no other options at this point. "Okay, but I want one thing from here!"

"What's left inside?" Lin Yu frowned slightly. "You'd better tell the truth. If you dare to cause trouble, I'll kill you!"

"How could I dare do that?" ZACK wiped the cold sweat from his face and gasped for breath. "Have you forgotten? That thing that can suppress all ordinary ability users."

[444] Back to the Gold Dimension

ZACK forced himself to get up, intending to leave.

"Wait a minute." Lin Yu suddenly called out to ZACK again, saying coldly, "Bring Lone Wolf along too."
