Desperate people, accept the seed of my soul!

The black snake remained silent for a long time.

In all his years in the underground business, he had seen many ruthless people, mercenaries who killed without blinking an eye, and drug dealers with dozens of lives on their hands, but none of them had ever been able to turn the entire city upside down like Song Chao, single-handedly.

"Find this person."

Black Snake suddenly spoke, his tone carrying an unquestionable determination.

"No matter the cost, we must find him. If we can recruit him, we will; if we can't, we'll find a way to kill him. We absolutely cannot let him fall into the hands of the authorities."

"But boss," the subordinate hesitated, "Zhou Zhengqing's men can't find him, how are we supposed to find him? Besides, this guy has killed so many people, he's like a madman, if we rashly look for him, won't we get ourselves into trouble?"

"idiot."

Black Snake sneered.

"You don't know anything. If we can use this ability, Jeolla Province will be ours. What's the Special Operations Bureau or the security team? Who can stop us? Even if we can't recruit him, we should at least build a good relationship with him beforehand. We should avoid offending this kind of person if possible."

"Yes, I understand. I'll arrange for someone to go look for it right away."

The subordinate quickly turned and left.

Black Snake leaned back on the sofa, looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.

He had struggled for so many years in Jeolla Province, but he was always suppressed by the authorities and could not hold his head up.

The emergence of the Song Dynasty might be his opportunity.

If he can defeat this superhuman, the entire underworld of Jeolla Province will be his.

------

Meanwhile, the atmosphere was equally tense at the Jeolla Province branch of the Five Mountains Alliance, another powerful force.

The branch president, "White Owl," stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, listening to his subordinates' reports, his fingers lightly tapping the glass, producing a dull sound.

"Are you sure it's a bloodline ability?"

"Sure."

His subordinates stood behind him and answered respectfully.

"It perfectly matches the blood manipulation described in the extraordinary ability files previously issued by headquarters. It is extremely lethal, ignores physical defense, and there is currently no known way to counter it."

Bai Xiao nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"interesting."

"Six extraordinary individuals emerged from Lieyang Province and destroyed three of our strongholds. Now another one has appeared in Jeolla Province. It seems there are more and more 'suitable individuals' lately."

"President, should we make a move?"

The subordinate asked tentatively.

"Zhou Zhengqing's men are now searching everywhere for Song Chao. If we can capture him first and hand him over to headquarters, it will definitely be a great achievement."

"No rush."

Bai Xiao waved his hand, his eyes full of calculation.

"Let Zhou Zhengqing's men fight him first, and then we'll make our move when they're both exhausted. Song Chao has just awakened, and his abilities are still unstable. Zhou Zhengqing also has weapons specifically designed for superhumans, so we might be able to force out his full potential. Then we can sit back and reap the benefits."

"Also, send word that all outposts must be closed off immediately and avoid conflict with the Song Dynasty. This man is consumed by revenge; don't walk into his trap."

"Yes."

The subordinates withdrew immediately.

Bai Xiao looked down at the bustling street below, his smile growing wider.

Headquarters has been searching for superhumans to conduct experiments. If they can capture this bloodline ability user, his position as branch president can be moved up a bit.

------

While various forces were searching for the Song Dynasty, Xu Suyuan and others were discussing the events that had occurred in Zhaoming City in the safe house of the "Fire Seed" organization.

Lin Shen turned his computer screen towards the crowd, displaying photos of the scene that he had painstakingly found on the dark web.

The photo was taken in front of the police station. The ground was covered in blood, and rows of corpses covered with white sheets were laid out on the ground, a truly horrifying sight.

"Breaking news: The newly awakened superhuman in Zhaoming City is named Song Chao. He was a migrant worker who was framed by a developer. Unable to bear the shock, he awakened his abilities and massacred the entire police department. He is now hunting down those who wronged him back then."

Lin Shen's voice was deep.

"I checked his background, and like us, he was driven to the brink. His wife was someone else's pawn, the daughter he raised for three years wasn't his own, and in the end, he was going to be sent to prison for three years. Anyone would go crazy in that situation."

Liu Zhen frowned and slammed his fist on the table.

"These sons of bitches developers only know how to bully honest people! If I were them, I'd kill all those scumbags!"

Meng Zhaowen pushed up his glasses, his face full of anger.

"When I was sent to a mental hospital, I felt the same way, completely helpless. These people don't value the lives of us ordinary people at all."

Shen Qinghou sat in the corner, his fingers gently caressing the broken string of the guqin. Although he couldn't hear what the others were saying, he could guess the gist from their expressions, and a chilling sense of shared misery flashed in his eyes.

Shen Hanzhou was wiping the glass test tube in his hand when he heard this. He looked up and his tone was as cold as ice.

"Should we go help him? Zhou Zhengqing's men are searching for him everywhere. A newly awakened ability user is likely to suffer losses when facing official forces."

Xu Suyuan shook her head.

"Wait a little longer."

Her voice was calm as she twirled a coin between her fingers, the coin reflecting a cold light in the sunlight.

"I can sense his emotions; he's very calm, without panic or fear. Right now, he's focused solely on revenge. If we rush over to help, it will only disrupt his plans."

"Moreover, the authorities have sent a lot of people this time, as well as weapons specifically designed for superhumans. If we show ourselves now, we'll easily get bogged down by the authorities and end up dragging him down instead."

"We can intervene after he finishes his revenge and if he really encounters danger."

Everyone nodded, and no one objected.

They had all come from dire straits, and they understood best how unwavering this obsession with revenge could be.

It would be an offense for outsiders to interfere.

"Oh, right, I found something else out of the blue."

Lin Shen suddenly spoke, tapping a few times on the keyboard, and a file popped up on the screen.

"The three thugs who beat up Song Chao back then and caused him to lose his fertility are now guarding the Five Mountains Society's territory. The Five Mountains Society already knows about Song Chao's existence, and they might use those three as bait to lure Song Chao into a trap."

Xu Suyuan's fingers paused for a moment, and the coin fell to the table with a crisp sound.

"Keep a close eye on the movements of the Five Mountains Alliance."

"If they dare to have any ulterior motives, we'll destroy their stronghold first."

"clear."

Lin Shen nodded, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he began hacking into the Five Mountains Society's internal network.

Silence returned to the safe house.

Su Wanxing and Su Mingyu sat in the corner, looking at the information about the Song Dynasty on the screen, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

The siblings had also been driven to the brink of despair; if Lin Shen hadn't arrived in time, they probably would have died at the Emperor's Club long ago.

They understood the despair of being cornered better than anyone else, and they also understood the thrill of revenge better than anyone else.

I hope that man named Song Chao can get his wish and send all those who harmed him to hell.
