Li Haotian leaned back on the cold throne and stretched.

The entire council hall was empty except for him.

He opened his friends list, and the name that shone brightly and was always at the top of the power rankings stood out conspicuously.

Mythology - Indra

He sent a message.

"Are you there?"

He replied almost instantly.

A question mark popped up.

"?"

Li Haotian smiled.

It seems that this top-ranked fan has been watching the drama unfold all along.

"Are you enjoying using the coordinates of my 100 million yuan armory?"

He typed slowly.

The other person was silent for a few seconds, seemingly organizing their thoughts.

"Great. So, what new business do you have?"

Myth, Indra is very direct.

He understood that dealing with this kind of person indirectly was pointless.

"Business is out of the question."

Li Haotian crossed his legs and shifted to a more comfortable position.

"Just a reminder to the top contributor, have you forgotten about the agreed-upon payment?"

"A top-grade fire-element crystal core. My delivery seems a bit slow."

There was another moment of silence on the other end of the screen.

A full half minute passed before the message popped up again.

"What do you need that for?"

"Growing flowers."

Li Haotian replied with two words.

"..."

The other party sent a string of ellipses, clearly speechless at the answer.

"address."

Mythology, Indra, no more nonsense.

"Donghai City, Yunding Villa No. 1, just throw it at the door."

Li Haotian sent the physical address.

He wasn't afraid at all that the other party would find him by following the address.

If you dare to come, stay and use it as real fertilizer.

"You're very brave."

Mythical Emperor Shitian replied with four words, conveying a sense of solemnity.

"It's just so-so, only standing out because of its competitors."

Li Haotian sent a funny emoji.

"The crystal core will arrive within half an hour."

After the other person finished speaking, their profile picture went dark.

Li Haotian put away the panel and stood up from the throne.

The newbie village of the Mad Dragon Guild has been cleared.

It's time to move on to the next map.

With a thought, his character transformed into a white light and logged off.

……

The game pod slowly opened.

Li Haotian sat up and stretched his neck.

He subconsciously raised his right hand and slowly clenched his five fingers.

A long-lost, stinging sense of control came from my palm.

Although I can't yet achieve the same dexterity as my left hand, the warmth from the nerve recovery is gradually washing away the atrophied muscles.

"It has recovered to about 70%."

He muttered to himself, his gaze becoming intense.

He will get back what he owed, with interest.

"Haotian".

Su Wan's voice rang out from the doorway, tinged with concern.

She stayed outside the whole time.

"Is everything resolved?"

"Hmm, it's a small matter."

Li Haotian stepped out of the gaming pod and casually replied.

"Tonight's news is going to be very interesting."

Su Wan handed over a glass of warm water, her expression somewhat complicated.

"It's more than just lively."

She paused, her voice tinged with shock.

"Just now, the stock price of Tianlong Group, the parent company of the Mad Dragon Guild, plummeted within a minute and was immediately halted by the circuit breaker."

"Fudo Myo-ō Wang Hai's real estate company has had all its projects under construction halted, banks have withdrawn loans, its cash flow has been cut off, and it has filed for bankruptcy liquidation."

"And those monks, the police found all the evidence of their online gambling operation on their computers. The amount involved was as high as nine figures. With witnesses and physical evidence, they'll probably be stuck in jail for the rest of their lives."

With each word Su Wan spoke, the horror in her eyes grew stronger.

This is no longer a business tactic.

This is a divine judgment.

Precise, efficient, and leaving no room for error.

Li Haotian took the water glass, took a sip, and his face remained expressionless.

"Their mess is something that should be taken care of by the right people."

He put the empty cup back on the table.

"Any news about the 'fertilizer' I asked you to prepare?"

Su Wan immediately snapped out of her daze and nodded hastily.

"The Scorpion team has replied that the first batch of goods has been transported to the border through special channels and will arrive in Donghai City in three days."

"However, she said the amount of osmium-iridium alloy was too large, belonging to top-level strategic materials, and she needed more time."

"Let her take her time, I'm not in a hurry."

Li Haotian walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the night view of Donghai City.

The myriad lights of homes seemed to transform into a giant chessboard in his eyes.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

He spoke without turning his head.

"Investigate two people for me."

"One, codenamed 'Doctor'."

"The other one is his 'work,' codenamed 'Zero.'"

"I need to know all the laboratories this doctor has in Donghai City, his whereabouts, and everything related to him."

Su Wan's heart tightened suddenly.

Another new enemy?

Moreover, the code name itself carries an ominous connotation.

"clear."

She didn't ask any more questions, but simply nodded emphatically.

"I will use all available resources to dig them out."

Just as she was about to turn and leave.

Her other encrypted phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated briefly.

Su Wan took out her phone and glanced at it; her expression changed instantly.

"Haotian..."

Her voice was a little hoarse.

"There's something new going on with D.H.I.E.L.D."

Li Haotian turned around, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"What is Qin Yue up to now?"

"Could it be that the pit for the Genesis Tower has been filled, and they want me to cut the ribbon?"

Su Wan shook her head, her expression more serious than ever before.

"More troublesome than that."

"They traced the source of your blue plastic stool."

"That's a points redemption gift from a chain convenience store; there are only three thousand of them in the entire city."

The playful expression on Li Haotian's face froze for a moment.

Su Wan took a deep breath and continued.

"Qin Yue has ordered the sealing of nearly a month's worth of surveillance footage from all the chain's convenience stores in the city, and is currently conducting a thorough search using facial recognition systems."

She also said she would drag that "East China Sea Fishing God" out of the sewers.

Silence fell over the living room.

Liu Hu stood in the corner, not daring to breathe.

He knew that the "East China Sea Fishing God" who was hailed as a god by the entire internet was the man in front of him.

Now, the power of the authorities has been pushed to its limits.

A few seconds passed.

Li Haotian suddenly laughed.

"interesting."

"They've finally learned their lesson and know to investigate from the source."

Su Wan panicked.

"This is no joke! The Dragon Shield's 'Sky Eye' system can turn the entire Donghai City upside down! Once it's locked on..."

"Let her investigate."

Li Haotian interrupted her, a strange excitement on his face.

"I left her a clue. If she doesn't even have that much ability, then I'll be very disappointed in her."

He walked back to the sofa, sat down, picked up an apple, and took a bite.

"It's just surveillance footage, deleting it is easy, right?" Su Wan asked, puzzled.

"That's so boring."

Li Haotian shook his head, as if commenting on a boring game.

"Let her investigate."

"I also want to see what she'll find out after all this trouble."

He looked at Su Wan and smiled slightly.

"Perhaps I can even give her an even bigger credit."

The voice just fell.

The doorbell of the villa suddenly rang.

Ding-dong-

The crisp sound of the doorbell seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet night.

Su Wan and Liu Hu tensed up instantly.

Who would come at this time?

Li Haotian acted as if he hadn't heard, continuing to eat his apple while his gaze fell on the surveillance screen by the door.

On the screen, a man in a deliveryman's uniform is standing at the door.

In his hands, he held a box made of a special alloy and engraved with intricate runes.
