Seven Days Later, Master Lin from Seacrest Arrives in Hong Kong

You... what are you going to do?!

Leo Li, now missing a leg, was lifted up by Evan Lin. He struggled wildly, but no matter how he moved, he couldn't break free from Evan's grasp.

"I'm from Hong Kong!"

"I'm with the Hong Kong Li family!"

"Grandmaster Victor Zhou, one of Hong Kong's three great grandmasters, is our family's patron!"

You just killed Grandmaster Victor Zhou's disciple. He won't let you get away with this!

You're dead!

"But if you let me go now—let me go!—I can beg Grandmaster Victor Zhou for mercy on your behalf! Maybe he'll spare your life!"

Leo Li's voice rose and fell, his face full of terror.

Without Wan Qiulai's protection, Leo Li had absolutely no ability to resist.

"Victor Zhou?"

Evan Lin shook his head. "Never heard of him."

"Those so-called three great grandmasters of Hong Kong you mentioned—I don't know them, and I don't care."

"You brought the Rejuvenation Beauty Pill, right? Let me see it."

After Evan finished speaking, Leo Li hurriedly pulled out a wooden box from his pocket. "This is the Rejuvenation Beauty Pill!"

"Here, take it—all of it!"

"This Rejuvenation Beauty Pill works even better than the Youth‑Preserving Beauty Pill! I can give you the formula—once you have it, you'll be rich beyond imagination!"

"I can even give you money! Lots of money!"

Leo Li stammered, panicking as he spoke.

Right now, he couldn't muster a shred of courage to resist.

Evan Lin opened the wooden box, glanced at the so-called Rejuvenation Beauty Pill, then gently crushed it in one hand. The pill broke apart, releasing a faint fragrance.

Compared to the Youth‑Preserving Beauty Pill, the scent was much more pungent, and the Rejuvenation Beauty Pill looked far less appealing.

"It's nothing but a pill that forcefully stimulates a person's life force in advance and concentrates it on their face, making them look a bit younger."

Just by smelling it, Evan Lin could tell what ingredients had been used and roughly what the pill did. "After taking this pill, you'll look younger, but what it really burns away is your origin vitality—shortening your lifespan."

Whoever refined this pill is actually pretty intriguing.

As soon as Evan Lin finished speaking, Leo Li's face turned pale.

The reason he had the Rejuvenation Beauty Pill and wanted to snatch the Youth‑Preserving Beauty Pill formula was mainly because the Rejuvenation Beauty Pill had way too many side effects.

The Youth‑Preserving Beauty Pill market was massive, so Leo Li had spent a lot of effort and connections to get in touch with Master Walter Wan, Victor Zhou's disciple.

This pill was also begged from Victor Zhou by Master Walter Wan.

"The one who actually refined the Rejuvenation Beauty Pill was Master Walter Wan. He learned pill-refining from Grandmaster Victor Zhou, and this pill formula was something Master Zhou got in his early years."

Leo Li kept talking, his face pale.

He was shocked that this guy in front of him could, just by crushing a Rejuvenation Beauty Pill, accurately describe its effects and side effects.

These were all secrets.

In Oceanport City, apart from Leo Li and Master Walter Wan, no one else knew.

If you had only come to snatch the Youth‑Preserving Beauty Pill and its market, I wouldn't have been so angry.

Evan Lin looked at the Leo Li in his hand, his tone calm: "But you should never have touched my people."

That Bone‑Melt Miasma, it came from Victor Zhou?

Yes... Master Walter Wan and I begged it from Grandmaster Zhou before coming to Oceanport.

Leo Li nodded frantically.

Victor Zhou.

Evan Lin nodded slightly. "I won't kill you today."

Hearing Evan Lin's words, Leo Li's heart skipped a beat, and his face lit up with joy.

Thank you! Thank you!

Leo Li's eyes reddened; he had never felt life was so precious. "I'll leave right away, I promise I won't cause any more trouble!"

Don't get too happy, and don't act so remorseful in front of me.

Evan Lin casually threw Leo Li out.

With a loud bang.

Leo Li's body landed in the corner, right on top of Gavin Zhao, who was trying to sneak away.

Gavin Zhao groaned in pain from the impact.

You two, crawl out of here.

Evan Lin looked at the two men, his tone indifferent: "Also, you're with the Hong Kong Li family, right?"

Go back and deliver a message to your family and to Victor Zhou.

Seven days from now, Master Lin from Seacrest will arrive in Hong Kong.

I'm coming to demand an explanation. I hope by the time I arrive, they've figured out how to apologize, atone, and beg for mercy.

Evan Lin's voice was full of coldness.

Seacrest... Master Lin from Seacrest?

Hearing that name, Gavin Zhao, dizzy from the impact, suddenly trembled all over. He stared at Evan Lin in terror. "You're Master Lin from Seacrest!"

So you're the one behind Angel Epoch!

At that moment, Leo Li also suddenly realized the youth's true identity.

He was wracked with pain, missing a leg, now a cripple.

At this moment, he looked at Evan Lin, his face full of feigned gratitude. "I'll definitely deliver your message!"

I'll definitely deliver it!

Also, thank you for sparing my life!

As long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

Leo Li was full of tears of gratitude, like a dog, but deep in his eyes was a bone-deep hatred.

He wished he could tear the youth in front of him to pieces right now.

Master Lin from Seacrest?

Once they reach Hong Kong and meet Grandmaster Victor Zhou, one of the three great grandmasters, they'll finally understand what it means that there's always someone stronger.

Thinking this, Leo Li didn't hesitate, crawling on three limbs toward the door.

Gavin Zhao followed suit, not daring to utter a word of complaint, and together they crawled outside.

Outside the door, the hallway was lined with fire.

Fire?

The fire blocked their way.

How are we supposed to crawl out?

Gavin Zhao swallowed nervously, his face full of fear.

This...

Leo Li was stunned, his body frozen at the doorway.

The fire around the hallway wasn't fierce, but the temperature was extremely high. The flames seemed like ferocious beasts.

I didn't tell you to stop.

Either crawl out, or stay here.

Evan Lin leaned against the door frame, his gaze indifferent.

Hearing this, Leo Li and Gavin Zhao trembled, not daring to stop. They gritted their teeth and crawled forward.

He who humiliates others will himself be humiliated.

After this day, the Rejuvenation Beauty Pill disappeared completely from Oceanport, as if it had never existed.

As for the mysterious fire at Lanting Seaside Pavilion, it was eventually blamed on a careless chef in the kitchen.

Manager Li hurried to Angel Epoch. When he reached Lily Zhong's lounge, he saw her sleeping peacefully, her expression normal, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lily Zhong lay with her eyes closed, the pain gone.

She had a long dream, in which the youth fought through thorns for her and supported her world.

It was a long, peaceful sleep.
