"Boom!"

Lin Chen could no longer endure the alluring beauty in his arms and pounced on her directly.

In his embrace, Xiao Zixuan gasped softly, clinging tightly to Lin Chen.

In the early morning, Xiao Zixuan looked at the man in her arms, and her face involuntarily flushed with embarrassment.

Suddenly, her beautiful eyes widened in shock as a multitude of unfamiliar information flooded her mind.

Xiao Zixuan stared at the glass not far away, her hand trembling as she reached out.

And then something miraculous happened—her hand appeared several meters away and grasped the glass.

In an instant, the glass appeared before her as if she had picked it up from her side.

This was simply magical, and Xiao Zixuan almost covered her mouth in astonishment.

Lin Chen, who lay beside her, watched her lose color from surprise and said with a faint smile, "Your dad is really strong, having gained space powers."

However, the shock on Xiao Zixuan's face continued as she pointed gently with her hand, shooting out a purple flame that scorched a black spot on the wall.

"Holy crap, isn't that my Purple Flame Golden Fire?"

Lin Chen was startled. Could it be the system didn't lie to me, and everything it said was true?

As his thoughts shifted, his mind indeed filled with many wondrous pieces of information.

"Is this the Space Law?"

With a thought, Lin Chen's figure vanished from its place, reappearing a meter away in an instant.

"Damn, that's so awesome!"

Feeling the power of his space superpowers, Lin Chen was almost stunned.

"Lin Chen, thank you so much. I finally have superpowers; I can protect my sister now and won't be your burden anymore," Xiao Zixuan exclaimed excitedly.

Lin Chen was equally surprised, "Don't mention it, I should be thanking you."

Thinking back, this night was simply too thrilling; not only did he have a sweet and exciting memory, but he also acquired such powerful space superpowers.

Lin Chen knew that having space superpowers had elevated his abilities to a whole new level.

At this moment, the look Xiao Zixuan gave Lin Chen was also filled with tenderness: "Lin Chen, I know you have a girlfriend, but no matter what the future holds, I am your woman, even if it's just being the other woman."

Hearing Xiao Zixuan's words, Lin Chen's face flushed—other woman? This girl was seriously underestimating his capabilities.

Lin Chen also looked at Xiao Zixuan earnestly, "Zixuan, I promise you too, that no matter when, I will protect you. No matter if it's the Xu family or the Xiao family, you are my reverse scale; touch it, and you die."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Xiao Zixuan's eyes reddened, and she threw herself into his arms.

Just then, Lin Chen's phone suddenly rang.

"Damn it! Who's so blind to call at this time?"

Lin Chen grabbed the phone and saw that it was a call from Wu Shitong.

"Emergency meeting, 9 AM at the 118 Bureau base," Wu Shitong's urgent voice came from the phone.

Damn, it's already 8 o'clock, what's the meeting that it's so urgent?

"Is something the matter?" Xiao Zixuan asked, embracing Lin Chen's waist, her voice full of tenderness.

Lin Chen kissed Xiao Zixuan and said with a light smile, "Wife, today, I'd like to take a day off!"

...

On this day, news swept across the Hua Xia superpower world—A massive ancient ruin was discovered in Fujian Province.

The whole of Hua Xia was once again shocked by this news.

The emergence of an ancient ruin meant another storm of blood and violence would come.

All eight major forces dispatched their elites, ready to partake in this feast.

And Lin Chen also received the notice and came to the 118 Bureau base for a meeting.

At the 118 Bureau, Director Wang Chao's face was ashen as he slammed the documents onto the table, "I want to know how this information got out."

The conference room was dead silent; everyone had a very ugly look on their face.

The ancient ruin could be said to be the 118 Bureau's laborious finding, and yet the news spread overnight without trace.

Although the 118 Bureau was official, the eight major forces all had very strong backing, and if they interfered, even the higher-ups could do nothing about it.

After all, the ancient ruins related to the origins and future of the superpower world; you can't really stop someone in their quest for ancestors, can you?

"Director, it's too late to talk about that now. Since the news has already leaked, we must think of a way to make amends quickly," the vice-captain Jia Xiangkai said with a serious tone.

Wang Chao slammed his fist onto the table, "The eight major forces are eyeing the ruins like ravenous wolves; how do you expect me to make amends?"

Jia Xiangkai said solemnly, "If that's the case, we have to establish a small team even more quickly and be the first to enter the ruins before them."

The atmosphere in the room was extremely solemn; everyone sat up straight, the only exception being one fellow who was completely out of sync with the tense atmosphere.

Wu Shitong pinched Lin Chen's thigh fiercely, "Hey, with such a big event happening, you still have the mood to play 'Fight the Landlord'?"

Lin Chen glanced at Wu Shitong, "What's it got to do with me, the intelligence wasn't leaked by me."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Wu Shitong's face turned sour. This guy had no sense of collective honor at all!

Wang Chao nodded and said, "Captain Jia is right. Our entry into the ruins is related to years of effort and sacrifice by our brothers, so we need to be very careful in selecting our members."

At Wang Chao's words, everyone sat ramrod straight. Night after night, the agents of the 118 Bureau had shed tears, sweat, and even blood. Now that they were about to see the fruits of their labor, how could they not be exhilarated?

The captain of our action team has already been decided after discussion by the higher-ups.

Hearing Wang Chao's words, all eyes turned to Jia Xiangkai.

Jia Xiangkai had long been with the 118 Bureau, and he had been following this project all along. Moreover, his team had discovered many clues about the ruins, so it was only natural, even expected, that he would be the captain of the action team.

Wang Chao's gaze swept across the crowd as he said solemnly, "The captain for this action team has been decided to be Lin Chen."

There was a moment of silence in the conference room, followed by all eyes converging on Lin Chen.

Startled by suddenly hearing his own name, Lin Chen flinched, accidentally unmuting his phone.

"Bid for the landlord…"

"Damn it! During such an important meeting, and this guy is actually playing 'Fight the Landlord'."

Hearing that this frivolous young man, new to the fold, was to be the captain of the action team, whispers began to spread throughout the room.

"How can it be? How could this rookie who has just joined be the captain of the action team?"

"Come on, could there be some foul play here? That position was clearly meant for Jia Xiangkai!"

The conference room erupted into mayhem, with everyone finding it hard to believe the decision.

Meanwhile, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

Hearing the reactions of the crowd, Lin Chen felt a bit puzzled: "It seems that nobody else knew about me being the captain of the action team, so how did Wu Shitong know?"
