"I'm in the Dragon Clan, what the heck is the Naruto Counterattack System?"

Luxury cars pulled up in front of Mi Palace Blue Bay, their red taillights flashing in succession, as drivers wearing white gloves got out and opened the car doors.

The dazzling, glamorous neon lights shone on their faces as the radiant, impeccably dressed people stepped off the bus.

Unlike in the past, the people who came here tonight are all young people in their twenties and thirties. Time has not left any marks on their eyes, nor has it erased the more ancient and refined elegance on their bodies.

In contrast, those men and women who arrived in luxury cars, exuding an air of elegance and wealth, seemed like mere clay dragons and monkeys.

They seemed to see no one but themselves. Only when the driver behind them handed out something that looked like an invitation, different from a membership card, did they strut down the red carpet and enter Mi Palace Blue Bay.

But amidst these luxury cars and people, an ordinary black sedan stopped, and two figures stepped out from the driver and passenger seats.

Qi Xiuyuan straightened his incongruous casual clothes, walked with a smile to the back door of the car that had been pushed open, bent down slightly and took the slender white hand that reached out from inside, and then saw a slender, fair arm as white as a lotus root.

The girl's long, slender legs stretched out, reminiscent of ivory works of art. She wore ordinary white sneakers, and her steps were as light as a white deer wading across a river.

"Is this outfit really okay?"

As Su Xiaoqiang reached out her hand, her mouth opened and closed slightly. Qi Xiuyuan placed his hand slightly below his chest, allowing Su Xiaoqiang to naturally take his arm.

"We're here to cause trouble," Qi Xiuyuan said, tilting his head slightly. "Besides, truly beautiful people don't need clothes to accentuate their beauty; on the contrary, clothes need them to showcase their true beauty."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoqiang, who had been somewhat nervous and worried, blushed and rolled her eyes at Qi Xiuyuan beside her, saying coquettishly, "I'll settle accounts with you later for what you've been hiding from me."

Xia Mi was right after all; she really was a wicked person, saying nice things to make her happy on purpose.

However, it sounds nice, I like to listen to it, and I like to talk about it more.

"..."

Xia Mi, who had stepped out of the car behind her, looked at the two people walking hand in hand in front of her, then turned to look at the expressionless Shi Tou beside her, and couldn't help but grind her tiger teeth in annoyance.

A complete and utter defeat!

When the four of them walked up to the waiter at the door, their steps became steady, and they wore impeccable polite smiles.

The waiter was a young man, not the usual woman. Judging by his looks alone, he could easily become a top-tier celebrity. Yet, at this moment, he simply bowed his head politely and humbly and extended his hand.

Chu Zihang and Su Xiaoqiang each took out a black card with gold foil stamping and placed it in his hand.

"Welcome to Mi Palace Blue Bay. We hope you have a pleasant and fulfilling evening."

The two waiters showed no disdain for the four men's incongruous formal attire. Standing on either side of the door, they bowed slightly and reached out to part the door, which was hidden by a black curtain.

Suddenly, the four of them were bathed in golden light, and a spacious interior space appeared before them. The first thing that caught their eye was a variety of colors.

The wine-red marble reflected blurry figures, and the crystal chandelier refracted a hue close to sunlight.

The colorful peacock tail feathers on the wall, combined with the faint fragrance in the air, create a mesmerizing atmosphere.

One crystal chandelier after another dispelled all the shadows, casting a golden glow on the dome and the portraits painted on the walls, while the silver powder on the bare shoulders of the maids shimmered in the light.

"Those people..." Chu Zihang's gaze swept over their faces, and he said in a low voice, "They are all well-known rich second-generation heirs in Linhai City, and there are some people I don't recognize."

At that moment, as they spoke, those men and women with a long-standing and elegant demeanor were walking in an orderly fashion toward the passage guarded by several burly men in black.

Only those with invitations were allowed in; those with just cards were turned away, but there were at least dozens of them.

"Not surprising." Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said calmly, without looking to the side, "Those you don't recognize, those holding invitations, are all mixed-race..."

In his perception, those young people with smiling faces but arrogant eyes had significantly stronger vital energy than the ordinary wealthy people and rich kids around them.

Although Qi Xiuyuan had given a general explanation of the existence of dragons and hybrids before they came, Chu Zihang and Su Xiaoqiang were still taken aback when they heard that those people were all hybrids.

Where did the person behind the scenes find so many mixed-race people?

"They came from other places."

A female voice suddenly came from behind the four of them. Turning around, they saw a tall girl wearing a denim jacket.

"Wan Boqian." The girl took out the lollipop from her mouth, walked up to Qi Xiuyuan, and extended her hand. "Wan Tao is my older brother. I've heard so much about you."

"Hello." Qi Xiuyuan reached out and lightly grasped Wan Boqian's fingertips, smiling. "Did Wan Tao send you here to stop me, or to help me?"

As he spoke, he released Wan Boqian's hand, and then he held something in his hand.

"Stop you? Help you? That's giving me too much credit." Wan Boqian put the lollipop back in her mouth and said casually, "I'm just here to freeload and deliver something for him on the side."

Qi Xiuyuan ignored her explanation and looked down at the earplug-like thing in his hand. The little gadget was buzzing and vibrating, like a phone waiting to be answered.

It looks like this is a hidden walkie-talkie that can communicate directly via signal.

Qi Xiuyuan put it into his ear, and sure enough, he heard Wan Tao's voice.

"Qi Xiuyuan, something's not right about the situation at Mi Palace Blue Bay today. It's no longer an ordinary illegal gathering, but an illegal gathering of mixed-race individuals held outside of internal security oversight. The backgrounds of those invited are very complicated. You should..."

"Are there any members from legitimate, established families?"

Before Wan Tao could finish speaking, Qi Xiuyuan interrupted him.

"..."

The walkie-talkie went silent instantly, and Qi Xiuyuan continued, "Let me guess, is there something they crave here?"

"..."

"Is it some kind of secret technique for refining bloodlines? Or perhaps some kind of alchemical weapon? It can't be some kind of special gene-enhancing drug, can it?"

"..."

This time, there was a brief silence on the walkie-talkie before Wan Tao's tired voice came through: "It's controllable undead, also known as Deadpool, and a semi-finished evolution drug."

"An evolution drug?" Qi Xiuyuan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." Wan Tao sighed. "A dangerous hybrid with ties to the Japanese Oni Clan and Rio de Janeiro's Neo the Boar from Brazil has been on the run around the world. The Secret Society has been looking for him for a long time, and only recently learned that he came to China."

"I only found out today. I never expected it to be right under my nose. They even sent invitations to many aristocratic families, saying that they had developed a semi-finished 'evolution drug' that could turn hybrids into pure-blooded dragons."

"laugh."

As if she had heard a funny joke, Xia Mi, who was standing next to Chu Zihang, chuckled, which drew Chu Zihang's questioning gaze.

"Don't tell me," Qi Xiuyuan said in return, "that anyone would believe such a stupid thing."

"You don't understand." Wan Tao's voice was somewhat low.

"What don't you understand?" Qi Xiuyuan said calmly, "Insatiable lust and boundless demands."

The desire to plunder is never satisfied, and the ambition to greed knows no bounds.

They're just a bunch of parasites who won't let go even though they know it's all a fantasy.

"..."

Wan Tao's silence undoubtedly confirmed his suspicions, but after a moment he still advised in a complicated tone, "You don't need to get yourself into trouble."

"That S-rank executive of the secret service can handle these kinds of troubles, and he'll even avenge you. He can just walk away without a care in the world, so he's not afraid of any problems. But you..."

"Wan Tao." Before he could continue, Qi Xiuyuan interrupted him, his tone growing colder, "I just want to hear your honest opinion: are you willing to let outsiders interfere in your family affairs?"

"...Crunch!"

There was a long silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie, followed by a grinding of teeth. Wan Tao's tone turned vicious: "Kid, that idiot executive clearly knew the truth but didn't tell me. I'm furious too!"

"But I must warn you, that dangerous hybrid is not simple. He definitely has many wild hybrids under his command that he smuggled from Neo the Boar, and he may even be keeping a few Deadpools."

"If you get injured and have to be carried out horizontally, don't blame me for laughing at you! And..."

At this point, the walkie-talkie paused, as if something had been turned off. Wan Tao said in a chilling tone, "The people from 'Mi Palace,' if you're going to kill them, kill them all."
