Ultimate: Gangster Youth, starting with release from prison

He didn't ask how the other person knew about Gu Jing; his current thought was to gain power and save the person he had worried about most all these years.

[448] Saving Gu Jing

"You did this for Gu Jing?" Ri asked, a smirk playing on her lips, her tone laced with mockery.

"Yes!"

Dugu Lang made no attempt to hide his affection for Gu Jing, nodding resolutely and saying, "I'm willing to give up anything as long as there's a way to save Gu Jing!"

“This is very simple for us,” Ri chuckled and said calmly, “As long as you sign this paper, you will have new power.”

During the conversation, Ri produced a scroll bearing the marks of time and tossed it to Dugu Lang.

The scroll was somewhat tattered and looked quite old; it was covered with a large amount of writing and exuded a strange aura.

"What is this thing?" Dugu Lang asked, puzzled.

“This is a soul covenant,” Ri explained. “By signing this covenant, you will gain power you’ve never experienced before.”

Dugu Lang examined the agreement closely, but found that he didn't recognize the words on it at all, and the runes were also very peculiar, using some unknown power.

“Those characters aren’t from the Gold Dimension, so you can understand even if you don’t recognize them.” Seeing through Dugu Lang’s thoughts, Ri smiled calmly and explained, “It means handing over your soul to my master. Are you in?”

"If I sign this agreement, I can help Gu Jing and regain my fighting ability?" Dugu Lang asked.

"Yes, would you go to any lengths?" Ri asked rhetorically.

"I... agree." Dugu Lang clenched his fist and said firmly.

"I'm willing to give anything, including my life, as long as Gu Jing recovers and I can complete my revenge!"

Ri smiled with satisfaction, then tossed a pencil to Dugu Lang: "Use this."

Dugu Lang took the pencil, lowered his head and wrote his name. In the blink of an eye, the words on the paper shone with a dazzling light and then merged into the depths of his consciousness.

Suddenly, Dugu Lang felt a sharp pain, as if countless steel needles were piercing his body.

Sweat beaded on Dugu Lang's forehead, and his body trembled, but he gritted his teeth and forced himself not to shout.

"Relax, this is merely a sign that the contract is taking effect."

Ri smiled at Dugu, indicating that he shouldn't worry, and calmly said, "Once you fully absorb that power, you will not only become a wind ability user, but you will also gain a new power."

Dugu Lang felt the contract within his body become even hotter. At this moment, a faint mark began to appear, surrounded by wisps of smoke, making it appear elusive.

Dugu Lang understood that this was the complete integration of the contract and soul within him.

"Alright, you can test the power within your body now." Ri smiled, extended his hand towards Dugu Lang, and said calmly, "I can tell you that your power is a special kind of power."

Dugu Lang struggled to his feet, wiped the sweat from his face, and asked anxiously, "I've done what I needed to do and gained the power. Can you tell me how I can help Gu Jing?"

"As long as she drinks this, there won't be any problems." Ri turned his palm, and a bottle of red and white medicine appeared in his hand. He then gently tossed it to Dugu Lang and said.

“(Aheg) After drinking this medicine, her illness will be completely cured in about two days.”

Dugu Lang quickly grabbed the medicine bottle, unscrewed the cap, and smelled it. A strong fragrance rushed into his nostrils.

Without the slightest hesitation, he vanished in an instant, leaving Ri standing there alone.

After a long while, Ri finally withdrew her gaze, looked at the person who was slowly walking out, and said in a calm tone, "Why did you come here?"

"Do you really believe that Lone Wolf will keep his promise?" Yue's voice was icy cold, as if frozen for millennia.

Ri replied nonchalantly, "He's already written his name down, do you think he can go back on his word?"

Yue scoffed dismissively: "You've been acting all mysterious lately, what have you been up to?"

Ri remained calm: "I just went to visit some friends."

Yue snorted coldly again: "Don't play with fire and get burned, or no one will be able to save you."

After saying that, Yue disappeared.

Gazing at the spot where he had disappeared, Ri sighed softly and muttered to himself, "Why don't you understand?"

In that land of exile.

Yehenarasti stood respectfully and recounted in detail to the woman what had happened after the opening of the void rift, finishing his account twenty minutes later.

The woman sat in the chair, remained silent for a long time, and then asked, "Has ZACK arrived yet?"

"I don't know, but he should be arriving soon," Yehenarasti replied respectfully.

"Mm." Ye Youling nodded gently.

Just then, ZACK slowly walked into the house, knelt down, calmly took out the spider lily, and said excitedly, "My lord, I have obtained the spider lily you requested."

Ye Youling calmly glanced at Mandala and said, "Very good, ZACK, you are indeed reliable and have not disappointed me."

"It's my duty," ZACK said humbly, looking up at Ye Youling and suddenly thinking that he seemed even more handsome.

ZACK was filled with surprise. Could it be that the woman's strength had been fully restored?

"What are you looking at?" the woman asked coldly.

ZACK immediately suppressed his doubts and replied, "No, I didn't see anything."
