Chapter 25: The Underworld

“Alright, alright, you’re not a kid,” Han Ling conceded, no longer arguing and leaning gently against his shoulder, her voice soft and sweet as she asked, “What have you been up to lately?”

“Making money,” Lin Yuan replied. “I cured Mr. Jin’s illness and earned fifty million. Once he’s fully recovered, there’ll be another fifty million.”

“My god, does that mean you’ll soon be a billionaire?” Han Ling stared at him, wide-eyed. She hadn’t expected that in just a few days in Binhai, he’d already become a billionaire. This little man was truly impressive!

“More or less, though it’s still not enough. I’ve handed over the formula for Jade Skin Powder to Sister Weiwei. She’s started a company to help me make money. There’ll be much more in the future,” Lin Yuan explained.

“Weiwei? Who’s that?” Han Ling asked, a trace of nervousness in her heart.

“Probably not. He’ll be stuck in the hospital for months before he recovers,” Lin Yuan replied.

Just then, an elderly woman pushing a stroller slowly passed by them. Suddenly, a murderous aura erupted. The old woman drew a dagger from the stroller and stabbed toward Lin Yuan!

“They’ve finally come!” Lin Yuan raised his hand, catching the knife. Channeling his inner energy, he applied a bit of force, snapping the alloy blade in half. With a thud, he kicked the assassin flying.

The figure tumbled backward, losing his wig and revealing his true form—a young man! Seeing his plan thwarted, the assassin grimaced in pain but tried to flee.

“Do you really think you can run?” Lin Yuan flicked a needle with lightning speed, striking the back of the man’s head.

The assassin swayed, his world spinning, and collapsed
