"Ding Ding—Ding Dong—Dong Dong Ding Dong".

Lin Hai tested the touch of the piano; indeed, it was superb, a valuable instrument no doubt.

Seeing the English marks on the piano, Lin Hai confirmed the high price of this piano, at least over 8 million.

The mark indicated that this piano was made by the world-famous piano manufacturer, Steinway from Hamburg, Germany, hailed as the "King of Pianos".

The young piano master sat where Lin Hai had just been, observing him closely.

The motion of Lin Hai testing the piano keys caught his eye, stirring a slight change in his expression.

Such movements belonged to a true master, which even ordinary pianists couldn't imitate to capture the same essence.

He hadn't expected someone dressed so casually to exhibit such an essence.

Lin Hai closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and it seemed as if his spirit, qi, and mind concentrated at a single point in an instant, exhibiting an indescribable unique charm from behind.

Lin Hai began to slowly play the piano.

Recently, as his skills had vastly improved, his mindset also seemed to undergo subtle changes, and sometimes he wanted to indulge in something more sophisticated.

Now, he was following his heart, not letting anything hinder it to stabilize in the realm of the Martial Path.

A mournful melody suddenly filled the entire cafe, making even the sunny and pleasant daylight feel heavy and oppressive.

It was a famous piano piece called "Tears," which Lin Hai remembered playing for Little Scorpion on the harmonica years ago.

Some loves are unforgettable, and music is the best tool to directly express one's feelings.

The young pianist's expression changed; he recognized that the other's skill was extremely high.

Then, the original soulful and tearful melody abruptly transformed into another famous piano piece—"Fate"—as if depicting the protagonist's unfair destiny, their courage to fight against it, and their bitterness.

The sadness combined with the subsequent fury from injury didn't make it seem abrupt; instead, it deepened the musical intent, something that required high piano mastery.

The young pianist was utterly moved, his eyes showing a mix of shock and disbelief as he stared fixedly at Lin Hai's back.

He realized that Lin Hai's piano skills far surpassed his own.

It was a disparity in realms.

As the last major chord fell, there came the sound of clapping from the young pianist behind him.

Lin Hai exhaled and stood up, his previously oppressed mood from consecutive days of injury seemingly eased considerably.

"Your piano skills are very impressive," said the young pianist.

Lin Hai smiled and responded, "Just playing casually."

"You want to see Bai Gu, right?" the pianist asked.

Lin Hai looked a bit surprised but still said, "Yes, I want to see Bai Gu. That kid hasn't arrived yet."

"Do you know Bai Gu?"

"Don't know him, but I heard he's a madman," Lin Hai honestly replied.

The pianist's face twitched, then he said, "If Bai Gu knew you called him a madman, what do you think would happen to you?"

"Just said it, what can happen," Lin Hai chuckled.

"You're very courageous," the pianist remarked again.

"Heh, others might be afraid of Bai Gu, but I don't need to be afraid of anyone. A man can be without money, without women, without guns, but he should never be without guts. Because losing guts means losing dignity, and a man can't be without dignity, so I'm not afraid of anyone."

The pianist nodded, "Do you really want to meet Bai Gu? Not afraid of the consequences?"

"Heh, if you know Bai Gu, then tell him to come out quickly, I'm actually in a hurry." Lin Hai thought the pianist must be quite extraordinary.

"Bai Gu is right in front of you. Now, what do you have to say to me?"

The pianist slowly put on white gloves, word by word, if the closest person to him was here, they would be greatly shocked, because Bai Gu likes to wear pure white gloves when torturing people to death, it's a habit.

"What?" Lin Hai's eyes widened, incredibly shocked.

Didn't expect that the person in front of him is Bai Gu? Totally different from what he imagined.

This, what the hell? This isn't some perverted murderous gangster; it's just a slightly sickly, fragile-looking literary youth.

"I quite appreciate your piano skills, you are qualified to become my collection, rest assured, after I kill you, I'll soak your hands in formalin, so they won't rot, I mean your hands, the rest can be thrown in the trash."

Bai Gu slowly stood up, and Lin Hai realized, this dude is actually over two meters tall, the proportions are seriously mismatched.

"Holy sh*t, I came here to talk business, not to fight and kill," Lin Hai said.

"Heh, if you want to talk business with me, you must be worth my appreciation. I only appreciate your piano skills now, but it hasn't met my standard yet, either fight with me or die," Bai Gu revealed a grim smile.

Suddenly, the white gloves shone like a white light in the sunlight, directly striking towards Lin Hai's neck.

Didn't expect Bai Gu to strike as soon as he said it, is this guy really the boss of the Skeleton Club with a thousand underlings?

"Sh*t, madman."

Lin Hai was somewhat speechless, but since the opponent started with a vicious move, then he had to fight first, until the opponent gives in.

Lin Hai also made his move, Eight Stele Hand New First Style, Soul Chasing Hand!

With a loud bang—

The table suddenly exploded in front of them.

"Gang Qi!"

Lin Hai was moved, just from one exchange, he found out that Bai Gu also has Gang Qi.

"Gang Qi? Strange technique, who are you?"

"I'm just a little security guard, here to talk about life with you."

"You are not a security guard, even though you are dressed in a security uniform, but a dragon, no matter how concealed or dejected, cannot hide its nature and aura."

The two engaged again, Lin Hai found, Bai Gu was strong, had Gang Qi, but was still strange, not like a Supreme Strong, but more like just super first-class strength.

With a loud bang, the two clashed intensely again, Lin Hai used the Eight Stele Hand New Second Style.

Crack, the wooden floor directly shattered, the New Second Style focusing on explosive force.

With a spurt, Bai Gu spat out a mouthful of blood, flew backwards, and again made a "smack" sound, that was the sound of a body hitting the wall.

"Now you are qualified to talk to me! Didn't expect, you are a second-grade Supreme Strong." Bai Gu wiped the blood from his lips, his eyes not shocked, but instead excitedly sizing up Lin Hai.

"I want to talk to you about merging our organizations."

"Do you think it's possible?" Bai Gu coldly scoffed.

"I think it's possible, because I can heal most diseases in the world, including your sister's illness," Lin Hai honestly said.

Bai Gu shook his head, "I don't like owing others favors, my sister's illness doesn't need your treatment, you may go now."
