In the meticulously managed Star Plate Club, Bilina, her graceful and enchanting body, stood behind Lin Hai, gently draping over him the much-coveted black windbreaker, favored by countless mercenaries and assassins.
Standing in front of the mirror, Lin Hai caressed his face, giving it a pinch, clicking his tongue in amazement: "Indeed lifelike, truly the work of a top-tier Disguise Mask."
"Yama Lord, by now no one should be able to recognize you," Bilina said with a beaming smile, her eyes filled with adoration as she gazed at Lin Hai's figure.
"Clicking his tongue, they always said I was too conspicuous, that wearing a mask made me look like the urging King Yan, resolute with decisive brutality. Now beneath this mask, I appear as though the glory has faded, leaving only a profound world-weariness, with a concealed sharp edge. Just by demeanor and presence alone, there are few who could recognize me now. And add to that the incredible transformation of facial contours and detailing without a hint of incongruity, as if it naturally fits me perfectly."
Lin Hai touched his face, on which now lay a top-level disguise mask, feeling no discomfort at all.
"It's time to deal with Wanjing's matter; quite ashamed I am, having promised her yet having made her wait for so many days."
"Today, let's give the Su Family a shock. Let my woman, under the watchful and envious eyes of many, stand proud and happy in my embrace."
Lin Hai slowly secured his Dragon Tooth dagger and leisurely walked out of the Star Plate Club.
"Boss, this is the 'Ghost' limousine that Mr. Yu Tianlin brought over a few days ago. He said it would have a good effect if you visited the Su Family ," Kui Wood Wolf said at this moment, wearing a racer's leather jacket, his hair dyed in vibrant colors, a Hongmei cigarette dangling from his mouth, his appearance completely that of a total hooligan, as he looked up to Lin Hai with respect and admiration.
"Good, I too shall have my turn driving a Rolls-Royce, tsk tsk."
Lin Hai took the car keys, started it slowly, and made his way towards the Su Family.
In the Su Family, right across from Su Wanjing's boudoir window, on a large tree where he had been stripped of his shirt, Yu Tianlin had his hands firmly tied with thick ropes into a dead knot, hanging from the tree. His body was covered in dense and ferocious whip marks, some as deep as fingers, and even some places where his flesh had been whipped off, revealing his bones, his body swaying with the cold wind like a withered tree.
Su Wanjing was bound tightly and fixed to an iron chair at the window, her tears having dried after a day and a night, her crimson pupils slightly dilated, her hair disheveled, her face haggard, yet she could only helplessly watch Yu Tianlin's life force slowly ebbing away.
She was waiting, waiting for Lin Hai.
The front gate of the Su Family was silent, ordinary people dared not make noise here, otherwise, offending the Su Family would mean no place for them in Huadu.
Suddenly, the roaring sound of a car engine violently pierced the quiet.
The silver Angel on the front of the Rolls-Royce Ghost reflected the sunlight, as if it were a dazzling star, came to an abrupt stop in front of the Su Family's gates.
The disturbance immediately caught the attention of the Su Family members.
A group of young Su Family men and women poured out from inside the house, curious to examine these two valuable Ghost cars, guessing amongst themselves: "Could it be that some important person has arrived? Or is it Young Master Yu making an appearance?"
Thinking the likelihood of Young Master Yu's arrival to be high, their eyes immediately sparkled, preparing to ingratiate themselves with the future son-in-law and the de facto ruler of the Su Family.
The door of the Ghost car slowly opened.
An army special forces boot cautiously stepped onto the sun-lit ground.
The black windbreaker, the handsomely quaint face after having weathered life, the eyes momentarily closed under the shade of the sunlight, devilish when opened the next second — his eyes like a demon when open, almost devilish when closed, the aura of one person switching thrice briefly, yet seeming perfectly normal on him, with no sense of contradiction.
"Who is this person?"
"What an alluring aura!"
"Wow, he's just so handsome."
"A high-born, wealthy, and handsome man in a Ghost, he must be a guest of the Su Family, right? Does anyone recognize him?"
"I've never seen him before, but such a person must have an extraordinary identity."
"Wow, he seems to be looking this way, he's looking at me, wow, what a cool gaze, it's making me feel all tingly."
"Ah, he's coming over here, he's walking towards us." A bunch of love-struck Su Family girls suddenly felt like a little rabbit had been kicked in their hearts, they were uneasy and excitedly nervous.
"Excuse me, where is Su Wanjing?" Lin Hai slowly spoke up, asking with a voice full of magnetism.
The Su Family members, who had been excitedly anticipating, immediately looked downhearted and disappointed: "Why is he looking for that hag Su Wanjing?"
However, perhaps because we live in a world where appearances matter, someone muttered softly: "She's upstairs. You can go see if you want, but don't be shocked, okay?"
"Shocked? Why would I be shocked?" Lin Hai asked, puzzled.
"She's not well-behaved, she got a harsh lesson from the elder brother's sister, you'll know when you see for yourself."
"Oh..." Lin Hai elongated his tone, but inside he was slightly stirred. Taught a lesson? More like a reprimand, right?
"Can you show me the way? I'll give you my number later," Lin Hai beckoned to a girl who looked young and naively kept glancing at him.
"... Alright." The young girl hesitated for a moment, but still nodded her head, after all, handsome guys have a strong lethal power on young women.
Lin Hai walked upstairs leisurely, but his mind was filled with thoughts about what had happened to Su Wanjing.
A bunch of curious Su Family young men and women followed behind, eager to see what kind of relationship this flashy and charismatic godly man had with that hag Su Wanjing.
When he arrived at Su Wanjing's room door, Lin Hai took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
The situation inside the room was instantly clear before his eyes.
Lin Hai's smile abruptly ceased.
The mirth in his gaze instantly disappeared without a trace.
He clenched the Rolls-Royce car key in his hand until it was crushed to pieces.
His fists made a cracking noise as his knuckles collided.
Disheveled, having not slept for a day and a night, looking somewhat dazed and haggard, with pale lips, Su Wanjing, hearing the noise, turned around woodenly with a numb look in her eyes. When her gaze met the disguised Lin Hai's, a familiar feeling surged in her heart. Her despairing eyes, in an instant, lit up with vitality and brilliance.
His face was different, but those eyes, unmistakably his.
A skyward roar reverberated throughout the Su Family mansion, laden with fury and murderous intent as if it suddenly lowered the temperature around.
Suddenly, Lin Hai hammered the wall furiously, punching a big hole into it.
The Su Family's younger generation who were looking on in shock, panicked and tumbled down the stairs in a scramble.
The Su Family girl who had led the way, her eyes filled with extreme horror, covered her mouth with her hands, staring incredulously at the hole the size of a bowl, legs giving out beneath her, trembling on the ground.
"I will make you pay a thousand times over!"
