"After you leave, call this number and find someone named Lin Hai. He will know what to do."

Ouyang Xiaoya avoided the surveillance cameras in the old house and wrote a phone number on the palm of the little gangster girl.

"Got it?"

"Uh-huh, I got it, sister. I won't get into trouble, right?" The little gangster girl said anxiously.

Ouyang Xiaoya looked calm, giving off a very reliable illusion.

"As long as you find Lin Hai, you'll be fine."

Ouyang Xiaoya pinned all her hopes on Lin Hai. Anyway, as long as the message gets out, she was sure to remain safe. However, when people are in their most difficult times, they tend to entrust the most important things to those they feel closest and most reliable. In her subconscious, President Ouyang thought of Lin Hai first for some reason, even though he was all talk, slick, and had various bad habits like loafing around, but he seemed to never make mistakes when it came to the bigger picture.

Police officer Liu stared at the surveillance footage with a slight smile; as long as she handled this matter well, Zhang Shenxu promised to give her more Heaven, and she felt she could never part from the delightful taste of Heaven.

"I won't let you down." Ouyang Xiaoya reassured the little gangster girl with a metaphorical shot of comfort.

The little gangster girl nodded, her heart filled with both panic and anticipation, her eyes on Ouyang Xiaoya shifting from resistance to slightly flattering.

Ouyang Xiaoya slowly closed her eyes, leaning calmly against the wall.

The little gangster girl cautiously moved a bit away, afraid to disturb her.

Meanwhile, in the private room on the second floor of the Dragon and Tiger List arena.

Lin Hai slowly opened his eyes; Tao Xia, who had already prepared the tea, immediately brought it over, asking with concern:

"How are you feeling?"

"Mostly recovered." Lin Hai smiled.

The battle had indeed been intense; he had to continuously channel his Gang Qi for three hours to barely recover fifty to sixty percent.

"Number one on the Dragon List, well done, lad. You've kept even me in the dark. Tell me, what's your actual strength now?" Old Mr. Tao was thrilled beyond measure.

This remarkable performance by Lin Hai not only brightened his face but would also shine at future meetings at the Military Department. Who would dare consider his words trivial?

"Hehe, Old Mr. Tao, I haven't kept it from you. I just incidentally broke through a few days ago and haven't had the chance to tell you yet." Lin Hai said with a smile.

Old Mr. Tao laughed heartily: "Great, great, worthy of the grandson-in-law I have my eyes on."

"Oh my~" Tao Xia said coyly.

"What oh my? You're already Lin's woman. Don't just focus on work in the future. Where else can you find such a good man? There are two ways to keep him tied down: one is to capture his stomach, and the other is to drain him. Xiaxia, don't say your grandpa didn't remind you," Old Mr. Tao said as if he was stating normal facts.

Tao Xia's cheeks blushed bright red.

What did he mean by drain him? That was clearly encouraging pre-marital, well, cough cough.

"Old Mr. Tao, let's drop the topic, I'm almost drained to death here," Lin Hai cheekily teased Tao Xia.

Old Mr. Tao was in an exceptionally good mood today, otherwise, he wouldn't be making such reckless jokes.

"Remember, Lin, when a man needs to be tough, he must be tough, understand?"

Old Mr. Tao then began lecturing Lin Hai.

"Uh, Old Master, I'm pretty tough every morning and evening." Lin Hai spoke, then suddenly realized Tao Xia was involuntarily looking at that area of his body.

Feeling the gaze Tao Xia inadvertently placed on him, she felt even more embarrassed and wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. At her age, she indeed needed comfort and nourishment both mentally and physically, and sometimes, naturally, she would think of certain services.

Thump, thump, thump, there was a knock at the door.

Lin Hai opened the door and found, to his surprise, that Ghost Master himself had come.

"Haha, Old Tao, you've picked a good seedling, impressive," Ghost Master commented with a thumbs-up.

Old Mr. Tao was also extremely proud and laughed heartily, "Jealous, aren't you? Just so you know, don't think about poaching him from me; Long Hai won't go with you."

"Don't think I don't know the purpose behind the country holding Dragon and Tiger List clashes; isn't it just to reserve talent? All these promising young seedlings end up being deceived into joining the Military Department and special agencies."

Ghost Master awkwardly smiled, "This is all for our Huaxia. I'm already at the Legendary level, yet I still have to work, right?"

"Hmph, anyway Long Hai is my person; don't dream of stealing him," Old Mr. Tao said straightforwardly.

"Alright, I came to deliver this time's prize."

Saying that, Ghost Master took out two exquisitely sealed metal boxes, which even had password locks on them.

"These contain two types of the state's latest concocted potions; one is a Potential Potion, which stimulates human potential, replenishing lost energy, and treating hidden ailments."

"The other bottle is even more important—the Superpower Potion, which enhances brain area development, strengthens internal organs, including blood vessels, bones, etc. Most importantly, it has a chance to bestow superpowers."

Hearing the word "superpower", curiosity flickered in Lin Hai's eyes and he couldn't help but ask, "Are there really superpower users in the world?"

"Uh... It seems like we haven't discovered any real superpower users yet. Theoretically, they exist, and our country's special agencies have such talents, though their abilities are more auxiliary, like mental inducement and such. I haven't seen anyone who can casually conjure big fireballs like in the novels," Ghost Master admitted, slightly embarrassed.

"Uh." Lin Hai became somewhat disinterested in the Superpower Potion, feeling like it was just a fancy but empty reward, using him as a guinea pig.

Seeing Lin Hai's thoughts, Ghost Master quickly remedied, "Don't worry; the potions are absolutely safe without any side effects and won't expire."

"Alright, I understand, Chief, drink this Potential Potion quickly," Lin Hai said.

Both Old Mr. Tao and Ghost Master were momentarily stunned.

"What nonsense are you spouting, boy? This is something you've earned through hard effort. Why give it to me? I'm just an old man about to be buried; isn't it a waste to use such precious stuff on me?" Old Mr. Tao remarked.

"But you sustained hidden injuries during the era of resistance against Japan, and you suffer daily. Drinking this could root out your injury," Lin Hai insisted seriously.

"Nonsense, I'm nearly buried already; even if the injuries heal, how many more years can I live? Quit the nonsense, you keep it for yourself, boost your potential, and do more for Huaxia in the future," Old Mr. Tao said impatiently, waving his hand yet his eyes flickering with emotion.

"No, you must drink it. Without the older generation's selfless struggle and bloodshed, how could we have today's peace and happiness?" Lin Hai spoke resolutely.

Hearing this, both Ghost Master and Old Mr. Tao were stunned, their eyes welling up with warm tears.
