When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

Late at night, in the special care ward of Linchuan City Hospital.

Jin Yiming stared at the ceiling, his eyes bloodshot and his face filled with despair.

obsolete.

His dantian was completely empty, and he could no longer muster any qi or blood.

"Jiang Feng!"

"Damn Jiang Feng!!!"

He was once the most dazzling prodigy of the Jin family, only one step away from becoming a fourth-grade grandmaster!

He should have been a powerful figure in Linchuan City, but now he's become a useless person who's not even as good as an ordinary person!

It's all Jiang Feng's fault!

If it weren't for that kid, how could I have become a cripple!

At this moment, he wished he could eat Jiang Feng's flesh and drink Jiang Feng's blood!

"Click".

The door to the ward was pushed open.

The man who walked in was a middle-aged man with a square face, dressed in a black outfit. He was tall and had a restrained yet unfathomable aura.

Hai Dali, a fourth-rank, eight-star grandmaster, is a retainer of the Jin family!

"Uncle Hai! It's you!"

"You came to save me, didn't you?"

"Did the head of the family hire a miracle doctor to treat me?"

Jin Yiming struggled to sit up.

However, Hai Dali didn't even glance at him. He simply stepped back respectfully to the door, bowed slightly, and made a "please" gesture.

"Young Master Muyang, we've arrived."

Immediately afterwards, a teenager entered the ward.

He was wearing a trench coat and had short, fiery red hair that was not dyed, but his natural color.

The young man was tall and handsome, coldly staring at Jin Yiming on the hospital bed.

Jin Muyang, the eldest son of the Jin family.

Looking at his cousin, who was several years younger than him but radiant with brilliance, Jin Yiming's eyes flashed with deep resentment.

Before Jin Muyang was born, all this glory should have been his!

But he dared not show it in the slightest, and could only suppress all his emotions, lowering his head humbly: "Young...Young Master."

Jin Muyang looked at his cousin, who was slumped on the bed like a dead dog, his brows furrowed deeply, and he remained silent for a long time.

The air in the ward seemed to freeze.

"hehe."

After a long while, Jin Muyang suddenly chuckled and took out a jade bottle from his pocket with his slender fingers.

With a "pop," the stopper popped open, and an intense, irresistible medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire room, even giving Jin Yiming's shattered dantian a slight, warm sensation.

"Jin Yiming, Jin Yiming, you are truly an eye-opener of my stupidity."

He toyed with the pill in his hand, his eyes cold. "He fought over a woman and ended up getting beaten into a cripple by a high school student."

Do you know what this is?

"The Limit-Breaking Pill!"

"To ensure your smooth breakthrough to the fourth rank and to add another fourth-rank grandmaster to the Jin family, I personally went to the provincial capital and swallowed my pride to beg for this for you!"

Looking at the shimmering, fourth-grade pill, Jin Yiming trembled all over, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.

A Limit-Breaking Pill?!

If he hadn't provoked Jiang Feng.

If he gets his hands on that pill.

He is now a revered master!

A wave of intense regret overwhelmed him instantly.

"thump!"

Ignoring the excruciating pain, Jin Yiming scrambled off the hospital bed and knelt heavily at Jin Muyang's feet: "Young Master! I was wrong! Please save me!"

"I don't want to be a useless person. I can still serve the Kim family!"

"Save you?"

"A spiritual medicine capable of repairing the dantian must be at least grade six! Do you think the Jin family's resources are just for cleaning up your messes?!"

"If you've become like this for the sake of the family's interests, your father will go to great lengths to find you a cure, even if it means losing everything."

"But what did you do?!"

Jin Muyang's voice suddenly rose, like a thunderclap, "They bullied others on the stage, even attempting to kill Xiao Xingye and Song Haoze!"

"The Song family patriarch was furious today and directly cut off our Jin family's business!"

"Who do you think you are, to expect your entire family to foot the bill for you?!"

Jin Yiming was so angry at the scolding that his face turned ashen and he couldn't say a word.

"I've come today only to inform you of one thing."

Jin Muyang took out a bank card from his pocket and casually threw it at Jin Yiming's face. "From now on, you are no longer a member of the Jin family."

"The money in your card is enough for you to buy a few plots of land in the countryside."

"Get out of Linchuan tomorrow and go back to the countryside to farm. Never again should you flaunt the name of the Jin family."

After saying that, Jin Muyang turned and left without looking back.

"No! Young master! Don't abandon me!"

"I don't want to farm, I'm a prodigy!"

The piercing screams echoed in the corridor, but they couldn't stop Jin Muyang from taking a single step.

Outside the door, Hai Dali followed closely behind, frowning slightly as he said, "Young Master, this good-for-nothing has caused the family so much trouble. Why not just get rid of him and end it all?"

"After all, he has the blood of the Jin family flowing through his veins; he is my cousin."

Jin Muyang shook his head and sighed.

Having been raised as the head of the family, how could he be as narrow-minded as Jin Yiming, who would fight over a woman?

If he were there, even if he were to give Ye Zhiwei to Jiang Feng, he wouldn't easily offend him.

However, once you choose to offend them, you must annihilate them with overwhelming force!

"Although Jin Yiming was arrogant in the past, he was generally quite disciplined in his actions. Why is he acting so erratically today?"

"never mind."

"Let's just assume he's lost his mind."

"but……"

A glint of light flashed in Jin Muyang's eyes: "Jiang Feng, who was able to cripple Jin Yiming, is quite interesting."

"According to the information, this kid has a clean background."

"If we could subdue such a genius and make him our own, it would make up for the losses caused by that good-for-nothing Jin Yiming."

"Send someone to make contact with him."

"Yes, young master."

……

Half an hour later.

Inside the ward, Jin Yiming slumped onto the cold floor.

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

The overhead lights suddenly began to flicker eerily.

The temperature in the ward plummeted, and a cold, damp atmosphere quietly filled the air.

Jin Yiming's empty eyes suddenly lit up as he stared intently at the window.

"Splash!"

The curtains moved automatically even without wind.

A tall, slender black figure, as if growing out of the shadows, slowly emerged in the moonlight.

The newcomer wore a black and red hooded robe and a mask with the color "Ace of Hearts" on his face. The eyes beneath the mask had an otherworldly, bewitching quality.

"My lord! You've finally arrived!"

Jin Yiming seemed to have grasped at the last straw and scrambled over to it.

"I followed your orders and deliberately provoked Jiang Feng, forcing him to attack... Now I'm crippled, all for the organization! You must stand up for me!"

The Ace of Hearts looked down at him and said, "Jin Yiming, you did a great job."

Upon hearing this, Jin Yiming was overjoyed, and the despair on his face vanished.

"Then...does that mean I've passed the test and can join the Blood Card Guild?!"

"We agreed that the Ace of Spades was my codename, right?"

"You must have a way to repair my dantian!"

The Ace of Hearts slowly bent down, extended two pale fingers, and gently shook them.

"No!"

"You are nothing but a pawn."

The Ace of Hearts chuckled softly, the sound particularly eerie in the quiet hospital room.

"Want to become a full member of the Blood Card Society?"

"Even members with the code name 'Cube' must be peak-level Rank 3 experts who have made contributions to the organization."

"What makes you think that the prestigious title of Ace of Spades would be bestowed upon a piece of trash with a shattered dantian?"

"What?!"

Jin Yiming was dumbfounded, then his face turned bright red and the veins on his forehead bulged.

"You lied to me!! You promised me! If I beat Jiang Feng, I could join the organization and become the Ace of Spades! You bunch of liars!!"

"So, did you win?"

The Ace of Hearts' casual remark instantly left Jin Yiming speechless, his mouth agape but unable to utter a sound.

Yes, he lost, he lost miserably.

"Jiang Feng was one of our chosen candidates for 'Ace of Spades'."

The Ace of Hearts straightened up, his tone cold, "The organization needs to confirm his potential, and you are nothing more than a pawn used to test his worth."

"If a chess piece is useless, then it's useless."

"I have come today..."

The long, black and red robe billowed without wind, and the figure began to blur. "Just to... silence them."

The moment the words fell.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

His body transformed into countless scarlet blood-red bats, frantically swarming towards Jin Yiming on the ground.

"No!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the ward.
