"I believe I'm worth that price."

Seeing that the other party had regained his strength, the strange man's expression changed drastically.

He swiftly attacked, aiming straight for the opponent's heart, but Zhang Hao coldly dodged and slapped him across the face.

The slap may not have seemed very powerful, but the strange man who was hit was struck as if he had been hit hard, and he was sent flying backward, even crashing into a section of the wall.

The strange man spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Who are you?"

"Didn't you already find out that I'm Zhang Hao, beautiful?" Zhang Hao said deliberately.

However, the strange man looked surprised and uncertain.

He kept repeating "impossible," looking as if he didn't want to believe what was happening before his eyes.

Kahnchi watched nervously from the side, trembling with fear and wishing he could disappear from the spot immediately.

"Hasn't Kahnchi already ascertained my identity? Don't you know that? Or do you think I'm not Zhang Hao?"

If the other party really had this misunderstanding, Zhang Hao glanced at Kahnqi unintentionally.

This guy must have lied on purpose and given that weirdo the wrong information.

Kahnchi is definitely plotting something sinister in the dark.

"Wasn't Zhang Hao already working in the underworld? How come he suddenly appeared here in the West..."

Hearing what the other person said, Zhang Hao felt both amused and exasperated.

He works for the underworld? How is that possible? Even the King of Hell wouldn't dare to think that way.
His willingness to maintain cooperation with the underworld was entirely due to the pleasant and smooth working relationship they had previously enjoyed, which is why he agreed to continue their interactions.

Working? Who in this world can hire him?
Zhang Hao shouted outside, and soon a hazy white mist spread from the wall.

The entire space seemed to be shrouded in white mist, from which emerged a man dressed in a black tracksuit. His expression was stern, but upon seeing Zhang Hao, he showed a slight hint of respect and greeted him.

“Mr. Zhang.” Black Impermanence waved to him, his movements slightly stiff, like a machine.

Zhang Hao rolled his eyes at him irritably: "Take this guy away. He's no longer human. According to the standards of the underworld, he should be classified as a demon or monster. It's reasonable for you to deal with him. It's not overstepping your bounds."

Black Impermanence stepped forward, flicked the Soul-Locking Chain in his hand, and the chain seemed to have eyes, spinning in the air before accurately binding the strange man.

The strange man did struggle, but no matter what he did, he couldn't break free of the strong chains.

"Let me go, let me go... I have a legal status in human society! This is murder! I'm going to sue you..."

Zhang Hao shook his head as he listened.

This guy has probably killed countless people and colluded with local law enforcement. He not only harmed silver mermaids, but also likely killed many innocent fairies.

In short, even if he were to die immediately, it would not be unjust.

After binding the man, Hei Wuchang immediately took him away. Before leaving, he turned back and said, "Mr. Zhang, the King of Hell instructed that if you encounter any more exceptional talents, please recommend them to the Underworld."

Zhang Hao gave an "OK" sign to indicate that he understood.

Only a few of them remained in the research room. As the white mist gradually dissipated, the little koi and the others who had been lying on the ground woke up one after another.

They were startled by the scene and became even more panicked when they discovered the strange man was gone.

"What just happened?" the little koi asked, half incredulous.

“That strange man has been taken away by Black Impermanence. We can continue to handle the rest.” Zhang Hao had already searched the strange man’s soul during their contact and found the method to break the seal on the silver mermaid from his memories. So without hesitation, he taught the method to Little Koi and asked her to save the silver mermaid.

Kahnchi stood nervously to the side, trying to force a smile, but he couldn't manage it.

"Don't come any closer... I betrayed you before because I had no choice. He's too strong. If I didn't do as he said, I would have died..."

He kept insisting that he was innocent.

Zhang Hao wasn't buying it at all. Those who conduct research here inevitably use living people for experiments, treating human life like dirt.

It's fair to say that the researchers here have lives on their hands.

Zhang Hao had no intention of letting them go.

He called Lao Zhang in China to report the situation here, and following Lao Zhang's instructions, the matter was quickly exposed on the foreign internet.

Of course, the supernatural reasons involved were naturally concealed, and the public only knew that there was an unscrupulous research institute that used living people for experiments, which was utterly immoral and inhumane.

The internet was filled with mockery. Unlike in China, information can't be blocked arbitrarily abroad; if you want to, it has to cost a fortune.

They don't have that much money left to spend on things like this.

Thus, the scandal was exposed again, and "freedom of the beacon" was disgraced once more—a beautiful word that has gradually been stigmatized.

After being rescued, the silver mermaid returned to the sea, but not long after, he came ashore again and ran into Zhang Hao and his group who were about to leave.

Zhang Hao and his group had to leave because the evil research lab had been exposed, involving the dark secret of gender inducement—it was said that in order to advance "scientific research" such as sex reassignment surgery, they deliberately lured young students to change their psychological gender and undergo sex reassignment surgery.

Genio was one of the people who was seduced before.

His parents were also involved in this project, and this is documented in the laboratory files.

After the incident was exposed, public opinion was outraged, and people protested, demanding a thorough investigation. The scandal had such a huge impact that even the Genio family became pariahs, hated by everyone.

The silver mermaid refused to return to the sea and instead climbed into their campervan. Zhang Hao, driving along, said, "The sea is your home, why leave?"

"Because the ocean is full of nuclear wastewater."

The silver mermaid spoke expressionlessly, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.

"The seabed is no longer suitable for my survival. Since I can transform into human form, I might as well be a human. Anyway, that way I won't have to worry about being captured and having my blood drawn for research."

The silver mermaid spoke with absolute certainty.

This reason is indeed irrefutable.

However, Zhang Hao did not plan to have another companion on the rest of the journey.

He calmly told him, "Then you can travel elsewhere and not follow us. We don't welcome new members here."

To be precise, they do not welcome silver mermaids from the East.

If this guy goes back with him, he'll definitely get into trouble again with that appearance. What's more, if he has too many monsters around him, Yama might suspect that he's planning to defect to the demon realm.

"I never said I'd follow you all the time, I just wanted a ride. Are you going to kick me out now?" The silver mermaid curled the corners of her lips, a faint smile appearing on her beautiful face.

That smile was radiant and incredibly alluring; few could resist its charm.

But Zhang Hao blocked him, and not only that, he looked at him with disgust: "Don't try to seduce me with your unrestrained hormones. I'm not interested in you." (End of Chapter)
