Hanshan Orphanage.
Shen Qingzhu arrived at the orphanage gate carrying large and small bags, only to find the dilapidated gate open, with no movement inside.
"Grandpa Dean, Wuquan, I'm back."
Shen Qingzhu called out several times, but no one responded.
Upon entering the room, the orphanage was in a mess, as if someone had been there and abducted the director and children.
Shen Qingzhu's eyes turned cold, and she immediately took out her phone to contact Lin Qiye.
tread!tread!tread!
The sound of leather shoes on the floor reached Shen Qingzhu's ears, and she rushed out of the room into the corridor, where she saw a figure.
The man was dressed in a black suit, looked refined and cultured, and was leaning on a cane as he smiled at Shen Qingzhu.
"You must be Shen Qingzhu. Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Cheng, and I am the secretary and housekeeper of Li Jianbai, the chairman of the Li Group."
"Our chairman would like to invite you to the group for a discussion."
"Where are the dean and the children?" Shen Qingzhu asked with a gloomy expression.
"Don't worry, they are all safe and sound while visiting our company," Li Cheng replied with a smile.
Shen Qingzhu looked at Li Cheng and asked, "How did you know I was back?"
“The Night Watch is untouchable for ordinary people, but our Li Group is one of the top five groups in Great Xia, so we do have some connections,” Li Cheng said with a smile.
Shen Qingzhu said coldly, "I'll go with you, but if anything happens to the dean and the children, I'll make sure your Li Group pays with its life."
"At worst, I'll just quit being a Night's Watchman!"
Li Cheng smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, rest assured, our Li Group would never do such a thing."
Shen Qingzhu got into the car with Li Cheng and headed to the Li Group.
……
The Lee Group.
Chairman's Office.
Dressed in a suit and tie, looking quite respectable, Li Jianbai was swirling a glass of red wine in his hand, overlooking the entire riverside landscape.
"Chairman, something terrible has happened!"
A henchman rushed in, his face extremely grim.
"What's the rush? I've told you all before, be calm and steady, don't be impulsive," Li Jianbai said unhurriedly.
"Chairman, the man is dead," the henchman said with a troubled expression.
Snapped!
A wine glass shattered on the floor, shards of glass scattering everywhere, the crimson wine slowly blooming like a vibrant rose.
Li Jianbai grabbed one of the henchmen by the collar and demanded, "Didn't I tell you to bring him back safely? How did you manage to kill him?!"
The henchman said with a wronged expression, "Chairman, we just did as you said and brought them back. We didn't hurt them."
"But as we were driving, the two older children suddenly stopped breathing, which startled us all."
Li Jianbai frowned. "You mean two perfectly healthy people, sitting peacefully in the car, suddenly died?"
"yes…"
Snapped!
Before the henchman could finish speaking, Li Jianbai slapped him hard across the face, leaving five bright red finger marks.
"It's definitely because you're not professional enough. You can't even tie someone up properly. Those two kids were struggling so hard, and you just killed them!"
The henchman said with a wronged expression, "No, Chairman, it really wasn't our fault, they...they..."
"They're alive!"
Another henchman rushed into the office, panting.
Li Jianbai looked at the henchman who had just entered with a grim expression. "They're alive? What does that mean?"
The henchman quickly explained, "I don't know what happened, but the two children who had just stopped breathing and had no heartbeat suddenly came back to life."
"At first we thought it was a zombie coming back to life, which gave us quite a fright."
Li Jianbai's face darkened. "One minute he's dead, the next he's alive. Are you playing me?!"
The two henchmen were trembling with fear.
"Isn't Chairman Li just playing with me?"
A cool, clear voice came from outside the door.
Chapter 488 The Devil's Deal
Outside.
A secretary with fair skin, a beautiful face, and long legs walked in.
There was no reverence in her eyes, but rather a murderous intent.
"How dare you speak to the chairman like that?!"
To demonstrate their loyalty, the two henchmen grabbed the female secretary.
The female secretary's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, but a dark shadow emerged from her shadow and rushed straight towards the two henchmen!
boom!boom!
The dark figure was incredibly fast and possessed extraordinary strength, sending the two henchmen flying and crashing heavily against the wall, knocking them unconscious.
The dark figure lay prostrate on the ground, without facial features, its body resembling a leopard, exuding an aura of boundless power.
Faced with this mysterious black shadow of the Boundless Realm, Li Jianbai showed no panic. Instead, he stared at the mysterious creature with great interest, revealing a strange smile.
"So that's why I was wondering where all the mysteries of Linjiang City have gone in the past four years. Turns out you've taken them away, or rather, taken control of them."
"Am I right? Wu Quan?"
Li Jianbai smiled and looked at the mysterious black figure.
The shadowy figure looked mysteriously at Li Jianbai and spoke in human language; it was Wu Quan's voice.
How did you know who I am?
Li Jianbai said with a smile, "Hehe, actually we've been keeping an eye on you for a long time."
"I must say, your ability to forbid Void is extremely powerful. At only fifteen years old, you are already a Klein-level expert."
"Most of the mysteries in Linjiang City have been brought under your control, and even the local night watchmen haven't discovered your existence."
"If it weren't for the fact that you stole our Li Group's lives several times while we were searching for the mysterious mission, we might not have even noticed that such a powerful superhuman as you exists in the small city of Linjiang."
"With your talent, if you were given another two or three years, it wouldn't be impossible for you to become the pinnacle of human potential."
"All of this stems from your unique forbidden realm ability, the legendary Fourth Royal Realm, which controls the Emperor. Am I right?"
The shadowy leopard lay mysteriously on the ground, without uttering a sound.
"The legendary emperor who controls all living things, fire, water, thunder, and even celestial phenomena."
"Unfortunately, the downside is that the lifespan of those who possess forbidden realms is extremely short, and their physical abilities are no different from those of ordinary people."
"Otherwise, a Klein-level expert like you wouldn't need to hide your true colors and command a Boundless Realm mystery."
“Wu Quan, if I remember correctly, you are already fifteen years old. If you cannot break through the ceiling of that realm, you will only have three to five years to live at most.”
"You are in the prime of your youth, while ordinary people are enjoying the beauty of life, your life is coming to an end."
"I happen to have a life-extending drug that works not only on ordinary people but also greatly extends the lifespan of superhumans."
"As long as you cooperate with the research of our Li Group, I can provide you with free services for life, guaranteeing that you can live like a normal person. How about it?"
Li Jianbai smiled as he looked at the dark figure.
"Whether I live or die is none of your concern. You dare to lay a hand on my family, I only want you dead!"
Swish!
A dark shadow flashed and pounced fiercely towards Li Jianbai!
boom!
A terrifying force swept outwards, and the entire Li Group building began to shake violently!
Before Li Jianbai appeared a demon with crimson skin, horns on its head, and a pair of crimson fleshy wings on its back.
This demon also exudes the aura of the Boundless Realm!
Although both were at the Boundless Realm, the demon in front of Li Jianbai was far stronger than others at the same level. With just one hand, it firmly grasped the mysterious black figure, making it completely unable to move.
“Wu Quan, didn’t you hear what I just said? You’ve taken most of the mysteries in Linjiang City under your command, but the Night Watchers of Linjiang City have only killed a handful of them.”
"Guess where the rest of the mystery went?" Li Jianbai looked at the shadowy figure with a devilish smile.
"If I remember correctly, the emperor's control range is only three kilometers."
"You can control this mysterious thing, which proves that you're actually only three kilometers away from me, right?"
"To tell you the truth, we capture the mysterious beings in order to develop potions and transform them into these powerful demons."
"The demons' combat power far surpasses that of mystics of the same realm. As long as I possess enough mystics, I can assemble a demon army!"
"And your ruling emperor is naturally inclined to suppress the mysterious. If we cooperate, you will provide the mysterious, and I will provide the potions. Wouldn't it be a piece of cake to build an army of demons?"
"Of course, if you can provide the Emperor's Crimson Blood from your body, I can study the Dominator Emperor properly. Maybe I can replicate this legendary Fourth King's Ruins."
"When the time comes, if you and I join forces, even the Night's Watch won't be able to do anything to us!"
"As for the Great Heavenly Court, hehe, someone will take care of them for us."
"As the possessor of the power to rule the emperor, don't you want to become a true emperor? Are you willing to waste such a powerful talent in a dilapidated orphanage?"
The shadowy figure slowly said, "Heh, all this talk is just to get the Emperor Crimson Blood from me."
Forget about it. I never make deals with the devil.
