Anna led a few armed police officers as they charged in.

"Lin Chen, did you take down all these people?"

The sight of guards sprawled out in disarray had already shocked Anna, and when she saw the four individuals lying on the ground, moaning in pain, she gasped in astonishment.

Information about these four had just been obtained by Sun Xu, and when Anna realized they were under Tian Zhong's command and were these notorious killers, she was nearly driven frantic.

The four were wanted felons by Interpol, responsible for countless murders and incredibly formidable.

If Anna had known that Lin Chen's opponents were these four, she would have never allowed him to risk storming in alone.

No wonder the master held Lin Chen in such high regard; this guy was truly a freak of nature.

Lin Chen nodded, "These guys are just like kindergartners, easily taken down."

"Kindergartners? Easily taken down? Lin Chen, do you know? Over twenty Interpol officers have died at their hands, even our Dragon Group has lost seven or eight powerful warriors to them. For you to say such fierce criminals are easily taken down..."

"Are these guys really that powerful?" Lin Chen appeared puzzled as he watched the four being taken away.

"Only a freak like you would see such individuals as kindergartners." Anna shook her head helplessly.

"By the way, did you catch Zhou Tian and Ninth Prince's henchman? A thorough interrogation will surely reveal a lot."

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Anna's expression stiffened, "Big Brother Chen, Zhou Tian and that henchman of the Ninth Prince are already dead."

"Dead? It must have been that guy's doing; I was negligent." Lin Chen's expression shifted slightly.

"Just now, two people managed to escape the blockade." Sun Xu reported.

"Damn it, organize a search party immediately," Anna said anxiously.

Lin Chen gave a bitter smile, "How could these ordinary police officers capture a Golden Core expert?"

"A Golden Core expert?" Anna was startled upon hearing Lin Chen's words.

A Golden Core expert was not someone they could handle at their level; it was astonishing that Lin Chen had managed to drive him off.

"That damn guy, he destroyed all the evidence. It seems we've been busy for nothing," Lin Chen sighed.

Anna spoke with regret, "It's a shame we didn't catch Tian Zhong, and with Zhou Tian and that guy from the Ninth Prince silenced, otherwise we could have really made the Zhou family pay dearly."

Lin Chen snorted coldly, "Since the Zhou family has already established connections with Tian Zhong and the Ninth Prince, they must have unspeakable secrets. I believe their fox tails will eventually show."

"Hmm, Lin Chen, you've done a great service this time; I will report your merits to the higher-ups," Anna said.

Lin Chen smiled lightly, "There's no need for merits, but Dragon Elder does owe me a favor now!"

Anna inwardly cursed Lin Chen for being cunning; a favor from the Dragon Elder was extremely valuable.

The Island Nation, within the headquarters building, Tian Zhong sat trembling as he stared at the mysterious person on the screen.

"Eighth Prince, I have failed and allowed that man Lin Chen to destroy our base in Capital City," Tian Zhong said with a trembling voice.

"Again, this Lin Chen, after having foiled Ninth Prince's plans, he has now ruined mine as well," the voice behind the screen was icy and eerie.

"Eighth Prince, shall we send out the Four King Kongs to kill him?" Tian Zhong hastily suggested.

He already hated Lin Chen to the bone; the Capital City base was the result of his decades of hard work, all destroyed by Lin Chen overnight.

"Do I need your instruction on what to do?" the voice from behind the screen suddenly turned frosty.

Hearing that voice, Tian Zhong's body jolted, "I deserve to die, Eighth Prince, spare my life. I will never dare again."

"Tian Zhong, remember your place. You are nothing but a dog under me, and if there's a next time, I will show no mercy,"

"Yes, I understand my mistake. I won't dare do it again," Tian Zhong said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"However, you did a good job with the secret recipe, so I'll spare you this time and give you a chance to redeem yourself. Fail this time, and you'll have to commit seppuku as an apology!" Prince Eight said coldly.

"Yes, I understand. I will definitely redeem myself," Tian Zhong's voice trembled.

This time your identity is a teacher at Capital City University, the details of what you need to do are written in the file folder.

With those words, he threw a file folder from behind the curtain.

Tian Zhong picked up the file folder, bowed deeply to the curtain, and retreated as he left.

A teacher at Capital City University? As he looked at the file folder, a chilling smile appeared on Tian Zhong's face. With a tug at his face, he peeled off the human skin mask.

The man reflected in the mirror had a square face and was middle-aged. He took out a pair of glasses, put them on, and looked into the mirror with ice-cold eyes.

"Lin Chen, you better not let me run into you again, or you're dead," he muttered.

At the Zhou family estate, the Family Head Zhou Yue's expression was grim as he coldly ordered his subordinates, "Have you found out how the young master died?"

"Master, we've found out. We came under the Dragon Group's radar all because of a high school student named Lin Chen."

"A high school student named Lin Chen?" Zhou Yue's eyes revealed a trace of icy coldness.

How could a high school student mess up such a big game for our three families? Impossible.

"It's true. Despite being a high school student, this guy has become incredibly popular on DY recently, and he's very powerful. Tian Zhong's four bodyguards were all taken down by him."

"What did you say his name was?" Zhou Yue narrowed his eyes suddenly, as if remembering something.

"His name is Lin Chen." The subordinate repeated Lin Chen's name.

"Lin Chen, his surname is Lin? Make sure you thoroughly investigate this Lin Chen," Zhou Yue said in a cold voice.

"Yes, master. Should we have Master Fu take him out to avenge the young master?" the old butler asked coldly.

Zhou Yue shook his head. "The authorities have already taken notice of the Zhou family. If we move against that guy now, wouldn't we be admitting guilt? Let's leave him be for now. One day, I'll hold his head in my hands to comfort my son in heaven."

"Ah, the eldest young master has passed away too soon. It looks like we'll have to support the second young master," the old butler sighed.

"The second young master?" Hearing this name made Zhou Yue frown.

"Master, although the second young master is unruly, with proper guidance he could turn into a good successor," the old butler said with a smile.

"Let's hope so," Zhou Yue sighed.

"Achoo!" Lin Chen couldn't help but sneeze.

It was the first day of school, and Lin Chen once again shouldered his backpack and headed to DY High School No. 1.

Actually, Lin Chen had wanted to just wait for a direct admission offer, but then he received an annoying system mission that tasked him with conquering the four school flowers.

Although Lin Chen had already won over Zhao Xiaowen and Zhou Yufei, two of the school flowers, he had virtually no interactions with the other two.

"System, can't we be less greedy? I already have two school flowers. If I get all four, how are other people supposed to live?" Lin Chen lamented.

"As a super popular male idol, it's your basic quality to sweep all the beauties off their feet and leave none for others," the system replied.

Lin Chen sighed helplessly: "To all my fellow male students at DY High, don't blame me. It's all the system's doing. I'm coming for the four school flowers."
