The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

Baal's voice was arrogant: "As the strongest being in history, it is normal for a group of insignificant humans to be afraid when they learn of my arrival."

"If we remove the probes, Lord Baal can do whatever he wants. Hehehe, it won't be fun if people discover my plans too early."

These words were ambiguous, but Chen Guan instinctively felt that Baal must have already planned his own scheme.

Sure enough, things have started to spiral out of control in an unpredictable direction.

He originally just wanted to live an ordinary life.

The leopard was curled up next to him, fast asleep, with satisfied snoring coming from its throat; it was probably too full to eat much.

Chen Guan reached out and stroked its warm fur, the sensation from his fingertips easing his tense nerves.

He didn't think any further. His current task was to improve his strength, find an opportunity to awaken his original body, and figure out the way home.

The van drove away from the brightly lit main road and turned into a forgotten corner of the city.

The buildings on both sides of the road are lower, the glow of neon lights is left behind, and only a few dim streetlights cast shadows of varying lengths on the ground.

The air smelled of rust mixed with damp earth, and the wheels rolled over potholes, the car body bouncing heavily.

Chen Guan looked out the window. The place resembled a huge industrial graveyard, with abandoned factories and rusty pipes outlined in the night.

It must be tough on Baihu, always managing to find such dilapidated little corners in the bustling city of Taipei.

The car came to a stop in front of a gray warehouse.

The warehouse looked much like the surrounding ruins, with peeling paint, thick dust on the windows, and a crooked "demolish" character sprayed in red paint on the huge roller shutter door.

The white tiger extinguished the fire, and the huge roller shutter door, accompanied by a slight metallic friction, automatically rolled up, revealing a pitch-black opening.

"get off."

Chen Guan pushed open the car door, and the cold night wind rushed in, raising goosebumps on his skin.

Leopard woke up and stood up alertly.

"Don't be nervous, we're on the same side." White Tiger patted Leopard's head and walked into the warehouse first.

Chen Guan followed with a single click, and the moment he stepped into the darkness, the roller shutter behind him closed silently, cutting off the last light from the outside world.

Snapped.

The white tiger snapped its fingers, and a soft white light shone, dispelling the darkness.

Chen Guan then saw the interior of the warehouse clearly. It was a completely different world from its dilapidated exterior. The space here was astonishingly large and had been completely renovated.

The ground is a flat cement floor, and overhead are crisscrossing metal pipes and wires, dividing the entire space into several areas.

You can see some large pieces of machinery covered with tarpaulins, and several dusty heavy motorcycles parked in the corner.

This place doesn't look like a warehouse; it's more like a secret base.

Baihu led Chen Guan through the spacious parking area and toward a heavy iron door deep inside the warehouse.

The white tiger stopped in front of the iron gate and placed its palm directly on the gate.

The door panel lit up with pale blue light patterns that spread out like ripples on water before disappearing.

He exerted force with his palm, and the heavy iron door opened with a low scraping sound, revealing the scene behind it to Chen Guan.

A man stood with his back to the door, leaning against the control panel. The sleeves of his dark shirt were rolled up to his forearms, and his short black hair was neatly styled.

He heard the noise and turned around.

The face was quite familiar; it was Liu Feiyu.

Chen Guan looked at him; the Liu Feiyu before him was different from the one in the academy.

The deliberately feigned arrogance and playboy air about him was gone; he stood there quietly, yet his sharp edge still radiated outwards.

Those eyes, which used to always carry a hint of mockery, now seem to resemble An Changqing's.

Chen Guan's gaze fell on the back of his hand, where he had rolled up his sleeves, and there was a faint blue water ripple mark.

The mark shimmered under the light, exuding a pure water elemental aura.

Liu Feiyu's gaze passed over the white tiger and finally settled on Chen Guan's eyes, meeting those eyes that were scrutinizing him.

"Classmate Chen Guan."

He spoke first: "Or rather, Mr. Xuanwu."

"have not seen you for a long time."

Chen Guan remained silent.

From today onwards, they are "partners" tied to the same boat, but looking at the face in front of him, Chen Guan still felt uneasy.

The aura of Liu Feiyu before him was calm and refined, and his strength should also be at the sixth level. It is estimated that he has made such rapid progress with the help of the White Tiger and has caught up with Long Ao.

Oh, a world where only Long Ao is injured has been born.

The leopard at its feet bared its teeth, instinctively sensing danger.

As a face-blind leopard, apart from its relatively familiar keepers like An Changqing, Leopard couldn't remember Chen Guan's other classmates.

Liu Feiyu's gaze fell on the leopard, and he raised an eyebrow: "Your summoned beast has mutated again?"

He spoke with envy, saying that this leopard's life was more exciting than most people's, and it was truly lucky.

"You two chat first, get to know each other."

Baihu patted Chen Guan's shoulder lightly, his smile unchanged, and strode away.

Liu Feiyu leaned forward slightly, his fingers interlaced on the table, his expression sincere.

"You gave me the Azure Dragon's token. I passed the trial and received the inheritance. From this point of view, I should indeed thank Chen Guan for his help."

Chen Guan said in a flat tone, "Congratulations on getting what you wanted."

He then changed the subject: "By the way, how's your older brother, Liu Chengjun, doing now?"

After the incident with the Liu family, Chen Guan had not yet learned about the follow-up.

"My elder brother is doing well," Liu Feiyu said with a smile. "He has taken over the Liu family. As for my stepmother, she has been sent to a small island abroad for recuperation and probably will never come back in this lifetime."

"In order for him to secure his position, I needed a reason to get out of the Liu family completely. So, I made a big mistake, allowing my elder brother to rightfully remove me from the family tree and sever ties."

"From now on, the Liu family will only have one heir, Liu Chengjun, while I am merely the Azure Dragon of the Guiyuan Group. He will no longer have to make things difficult for me."

"In the struggle for the crown prince position, someone always has to win and someone has to lose. He wins power, and I win my destiny."

Chen Guan remained silent; this situation was not unexpected for him.

It's just a pity about Liu Xiao; he ultimately fell before dawn.

The door was kicked open from the outside with a bang.

"Hey, what are you two doing?"

A loud, boisterous female voice rang in, and a woman with a high ponytail barged in.

She closed the door behind her, placed the greasy paper bag in the middle of the table, and the strong smell of fried chicken immediately masked the smell of engine oil in the room.

It's three stations.

"I'm starving!"

San Tai's gaze swept across the room and quickly landed on Chen Guan, his smile becoming excessively bright.
