We offered you a summer job, but you went and became a mercenary?

The sales office of Yunduan Dijin.

Manager Wang Bin was leaning back in his office chair, sipping tea and leisurely flipping through the month's performance report.

The phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

Wang Bin glanced at the screen; the contact name was "Mr. Lin, the Living Yama."

"Snapped!"

The purple clay teacup in his hand fell directly to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Wang Bin didn't even have time to feel sorry for himself. He jumped up from his chair and pressed the answer button on his phone with both hands.

"Mr. Lin... what are your instructions!" Wang Bin's voice trembled violently, and his calves were cramping.

He still dreams about the scene where this guy brutally killed more than a dozen transnational drug lords at the sales office last time.

He called suddenly today. Could it be that some careless salesperson has offended him again?

"Old Wang, do you still have any available rooms?" Lin Ye's voice was calm.

Wang Bin swallowed hard and asked cautiously, "Master Lin, who...who do you want to kill? I'll arrange for the area to be cleared immediately, leaving no witnesses!"

Lin Ye sighed on the other end of the phone.

"Why would I kill someone?" Lin Ye said helplessly. "I want to buy a house for my parents, cash only. It needs to be a large, single-level apartment with good natural light, and most importantly, it has to be quiet, without any noisy people disturbing us."

Wang Bin was stunned for two seconds, followed by a burst of ecstasy.

They're not here to kill people, they're here to deliver sales figures!

"Yes! Absolutely!" Wang Bin exclaimed excitedly, his voice cracking. "Mr. Lin, don't worry! There's a whole floor on the 66th floor that hasn't been sold yet. The view is unbeatable, and it's absolutely quiet! I'll have the entire floor cleared out immediately and have a high-end cleaning service done overnight. I'll even pay out of my own pocket to replace the furniture and appliances with the top-of-the-line imported ones for your parents!"

"Okay, get it done. I'll take them over to see it tomorrow."

Lin Ye hung up the phone and tossed it onto the sofa.

He turned and walked into the spacious walk-in closet, taking off his silk pajamas.

With a thought, the [Top-Tier Vibranium Bulletproof Suit] from the system space appeared in his hand.

Lin Ye put on the suit jacket.

The pure black fabric is extremely smooth and automatically shrinks and adjusts.

There are no unnecessary pleats, and no fancy decorations are needed.

Lin Ye stood in front of the full-length mirror and reached out to loosen his tie.

The working-class man who used to wear floral shorts and flip-flops has undergone a complete transformation in demeanor.

His tall, imposing figure, coupled with the murderous aura he exuded after slaughtering through piles of corpses, made him look every bit the powerful figure in charge of a top-tier multinational conglomerate.

Lin Ye turned around, strode out of the ground floor, and took the private elevator directly to the underground parking garage.

Press the car key.

The Knight XVI off-road vehicle, weighing seven tons and covered in composite ceramic armor, roared deafeningly.

Lin Ye opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat, gripping the leather steering wheel with one hand and flooring the accelerator.

The black, armored behemoth roared as it charged out of the underground garage and onto the wide streets of Jiangcheng.

······

at the same time.

The headquarters of the National Security Bureau, an underground monitoring center.

The urgent alarm echoed through the hall.

"Chief! Mr. Lin's car has moved!" A technician, staring at the red dot on the big screen, turned and shouted.

Zhao Jianguo rushed out of the office with a thermos in his hand, slapping his thigh in a panic.

"Where did he go? Didn't he say he was going to rest today because it's the weekend? Did those bastards from the Holy Alliance send someone to kill him again?"

The technician's hands flew across the keyboard as he retrieved images from traffic cameras along the route.

"No signs of hostile supernatural forces were detected. Mr. Lin's car got on the highway, heading towards his hometown, the Red Star Family Compound, presumably because he wanted to go home."

Zhao Jianguo was stunned.

Go back to my hometown?

"Investigate! Find out immediately what happened in Mr. Lin's hometown today!" Zhao Jianguo ordered.

In less than a minute, the technician projected a data report onto the large screen.

"Chief, ten minutes ago, we intercepted Ms. Chen Hui's WeChat Moments data. This morning at 7:30, Ms. Chen was riding her electric bike to work when she was sideswiped by a black Mercedes-Benz."

The technician pointed to the picture of a smashed steamed bun on the screen.

"The Mercedes driver not only fled the scene of the accident, but also verbally abused Ms. Chen in the street. As a result, Ms. Chen was late for class and had her full attendance bonus deducted."

The hall fell silent instantly.

Zhao Jianguo looked at the photo on the screen and gasped.

Who the hell is this blind bastard?!

They even dared to hit Lin Ye's own mother!

This guy just last night disassembled one of the West's top cardinals into parts with his bare hands.

Now you, driving a beat-up Mercedes, hit someone's own mother and you still dare to curse at her?

"That Mercedes driver is asking for trouble!" Zhao Jianguo slammed his fist on the control panel and roared, "Immediately notify all traffic police departments along the route to turn all the traffic lights on Mr. Lin's route green! Nobody is allowed to stop his car!"

The captain standing nearby quickly stood at attention: "Chief, should we send SWAT officers over there and arrest the Mercedes driver?"

"Catch my ass!" Zhao Jianguo glared at him. "Mr. Lin went back in person. What right do we have to interfere? He's in a terrible mood, especially on the weekend!"

Zhao Jianguo pointed at the brigade leader.

"Dispatch two teams of field agents, all dressed in civilian clothes, and follow at a distance in civilian vehicles! Remember, they are only responsible for sealing off the perimeter and clearing the area; they are absolutely forbidden from interfering with any of Mr. Lin's actions!"

"Yes, sir!" The captain wiped his sweat and quickly ran out to make arrangements.

······

on the highway.

The Knight XVI armored vehicle sped along the overtaking lane.

All toll booths along the route were opened in advance, and traffic police directed other vehicles to give way at intersections.

The journey was smooth and unobstructed.

Lin Ye leaned back in the driver's seat, looking at the road ahead, and thinking about how to decorate the new house.

My mom has a bad back, so I need to buy her a high-end mattress with a massage function.

My dad loves tea, so the balcony of our large apartment is the perfect place to put a complete set of mahogany tea utensils.

They've spent most of their lives crammed into that leaky old, dilapidated apartment, scrimping and saving to send themselves to school. Now they have nearly 10 billion US dollars in their accounts; it's time for them to enjoy their retirement.

3 PM.

The armored vehicle drove off the highway and into the street where the Red Star Family Compound was located.

This is an old community built in the 1980s.

The road was extremely narrow, with various tricycles and dilapidated bread carts parked on both sides, and various power lines strung haphazardly in the air.

The seven-ton Knight XVI drove into the street, its massive body almost taking up the entire road surface.

The run-flat tires made a dull thud as they rolled over the uneven speed bumps.

The elderly men playing chess and the women buying groceries by the roadside all stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at the black behemoth exuding industrial violence.

"Wow, what kind of vehicle is this? It looks like a tank!"

"I have no idea. How could such a big boss come to this dump in our lousy place?"
