Desperate people, accept the seed of my soul!

Zhao Si looked at his slashed wrist, then at Su Man lying on the ground, and finally fear showed in his eyes.

He can't beat him.

We simply can't beat them.

Shen Hanzhou took a step forward, and Zhao Si was so frightened that he took a step back, his back hitting the wall of the corridor, leaving him with nowhere to retreat.

"You...you stay away!" Zhao Si's voice trembled. "Our boss said we're not here to kill you! We're here to make friends with you!"

Shen Hanzhou raised an eyebrow and stopped in his tracks: "Making friends?"

"Yes! To make friends!" Zhao Si nodded hastily, as if grasping at a straw. "Zheng Daoyuan, who was targeting you, has been dealt with! His body is in the ice storage on the top floor! We can give you his body as a gift!"

Shen Hanzhou's fingertips twitched.

Zheng Daoyuan is dead?

He hadn't expected that.

He thought Zheng Daoyuan would be hiding in his top-floor office waiting for him to come and kill him, but he never expected that he would be dealt with by his own people.

"You killed Zheng Daoyuan just to befriend me?" Shen Hanzhou's tone was laced with sarcasm. "Using twenty-six corpses as a greeting gift? This is the first time I've ever seen a way to make friends."

"This is a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!" Zhao Si hurriedly waved his hands. "These are all Zheng Daoyuan's men! We didn't want to fight you either! Zheng Daoyuan insisted on killing you; we were forced into it!"

Shen Hanzhou didn't say anything, but took a step forward.

He could feel Lu Chen's heart suddenly racing in the top-floor monitoring room; he was clearly nervous.

"Who is your boss?" Shen Hanzhou asked.

"It's Mr. Lu! Lu Chen! He's in the monitoring room on the top floor!" Zhao Si said hurriedly. "He really wants to cooperate with you! He said your abilities shouldn't be wasted on revenge. He can provide you with the best laboratory and the best resources. As long as you join Xiong Bei, you can have anything you want!"

"I want Zheng Daoyuan's life, and you've already given it to me," Shen Hanzhou said. "I also want Yan Tingyao of the Five Mountains Alliance's life, can you give that to me too?"

"Yes! Of course!" Zhao Si nodded hurriedly. "Yan Tingyao has always been our rival! We've wanted to get rid of him for a long time! As long as you join us, we'll immediately send someone to kill Yan Tingyao and bring his head to you!"

Shen Hanzhou smiled.

His laughter was cold.

"I'll get what I want myself. I don't need anyone to give it to me."

He took a step forward, raised his right hand, and aimed it at the ground beneath Zhao Si's feet.

Zhao Si was terrified and yelled towards the monitoring room, "Mr. Lu! Help me! He doesn't believe me! Come out now!"

The door to the monitoring room was pushed open.

Lu Chen walked out, dressed in a black suit, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

"Shen Hanzhou, don't push your luck." Lu Chen's voice was cold. "I've already backed down, killing Zheng Daoyuan as a greeting gift. What more do you want? Do you really want to force me to use my trump card?"

Shen Hanzhou paused for a moment.

The trump card?

He wanted to see what other tricks Lu Chen had up his sleeve.

He withdrew his hand, looked up at Lu Chen, and became alert and focused.

Seeing his actions, Lu Chen's lips curled into a barely perceptible cold smile.

What he wanted was that moment when Shen Hanzhou was focused and concentrating on dealing with the situation.

Almost at the same moment Shen Hanzhou withdrew his hand, Lu Chen suddenly turned around and ran towards the emergency exit behind him. His speed was as fast as a black shadow, far exceeding the limits of ordinary people. That was the effect of the physical enhancement agent secretly developed by Xiong Bei headquarters. After injection, it could increase the speed to three times that of an ordinary person in a short period of time.

He had no trump card at all.

He just wanted to run away.

Shen Hanzhou was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had been tricked.

Just as he was about to give chase, he suddenly heard a muffled thud coming from the direction of the emergency exit, followed by Lu Chen's scream.

Five people dressed in different clothes walked out of the emergency exit. The one in the lead was a woman with short hair. Her face was expressionless, and she held a coin in her right hand, the edge of which gleamed coldly.

Lu Chen was pinned to the wall by her void imprisonment technique. His face turned bright red, and he couldn't move. He could only glare at her fiercely.

Behind her, a man in overalls was surrounded by arcs of azure electricity, a man with black-rimmed glasses held a few morning glory seeds in his hand, a young man with a childlike face smiled, and finally a pale-faced man with a hearing aid in his ear, his fingers unconsciously stroking the strings of a violin in his pocket.

They are Xu Suyuan, Liu Zhen, Meng Zhaowen, Lin Shen, and Shen Qinghou.

Five extraordinary individuals from the Fireseed organization.

Xu Suyuan walked up to Lu Chen, raised her right hand, and placed a coin on the center of Lu Chen's forehead.

"You're from Xiongbei headquarters?" Xu Suyuan's voice was flat. "We've been looking for you for a long time."

Lu Chen's face turned deathly pale instantly.

He knew these people.

Shen Hanzhou is not alone.

He had accomplices.

Five extraordinary individuals.

Including Shen Hanzhou, there are six in total.

He can't escape today.

Shen Hanzhou stood still, looking at the five people who had suddenly appeared, his pupils slightly contracting.

He could sense that deep within the souls of these five people, there was a soul seed just like his, resonating slightly.

They are of the same kind.

Xu Suyuan turned her head to look at Shen Hanzhou, a very faint smile appearing on her lips.

"Shen Hanzhou, we are the same kind of people."

"Come with us."

"We'll avenge you together."

The midday sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 27th floor, falling on the six people. The resonance of the seeds of souls vibrated slightly in the air, like a silent battle song.

Lu Chen was pinned to the wall, looking at the six superhumans in front of him, and finally despair appeared in his eyes.

His game was already lost before it even started.

As soon as Xu Suyuan finished speaking, a bright blue arc of electricity exploded beneath Liu Zhen's feet.

The electric current spread rapidly along the metal cable trays in the corridor. Just as Zhao Si was about to reach for the spare dagger at his waist, he was struck by the surge of electricity, his body convulsing as he collapsed to the ground, his hair standing on end and white smoke billowing from his mouth.

The morning glory seed that Meng Zhaowen was holding in her fingertips fell onto the carpet and instantly sprouted into a dense thicket of green vines. These vines climbed up Su Man's ankles, and the thorns on them pierced her combat uniform, pinning her firmly to the wall, leaving her no room to struggle.

Lin Shen snapped his fingers, and Lu Chen's vision was instantly filled with the illusion of Shen Yan Hui covered in blood. His throat bobbed, and he made a terrified hoarse sound. Veins bulged on his forehead, but he was suppressed by the void and could not even move a finger.

Shen Qinghou stood at the end of the corridor, his fingertips twirling three broken strings of the guqin. With a slight flick, a sharp sound wave grazed Lu Chen's ear and shattered the surveillance screen behind him, shards splashing all over Lu Chen's face.

Shen Hanzhou watched the five people's swift and decisive movements and felt their goodwill, causing his tense shoulders to relax slightly.
