The most important thing in life is sometimes not hard work or struggle, but making choices. Everyone will encounter countless strange crossroads in their lifetime, and that's when decisions must be made. It's like an exam, but fate is the examiner, and the price of failing is often quite severe.

When you find yourself at a crossroads in life, unsure of which direction to choose and feeling confused, it's crucial to stay calm and carefully analyze the pros and cons. Always look further, and then a little further.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Hai felt a sense of relief.

With a slight smile, he noticed Xue Meigui staring at him in astonishment.

"What's wrong, Sister Xue? Have you already been deeply attracted to my handsome face?" Lin Hai blinked his eyes playfully.

Sister Xue!

What an annoying nickname!

Xue Meigui's forehead was covered in black lines, and she was suddenly so angry she gritted her teeth, almost forgetting her curiosity.

"Who was that on the phone earlier? Your aura felt off." Xue Meigui questioned, looking at Lin Hai.

"Nothing much, just an organization that thinks it's quite great, wanting to recruit a man like me whose story can be summarized by the word 'handsome,'" Lin Hai said as he smoothed his hair, feeling his actions were flamboyant and stylish.

Xue Meigui rolled her eyes, casting a scornful glance at Lin.

"They offered quite a high price," Lin Hai added.

"So, did you agree?"

Lin Hai shook his head and said, "How could I possibly agree?"

"It seems their offer wasn't high enough," Xue Meigui analyzed.

Lin Hai chuckled, sighing, "They were just one condition short of making me really agree, I have to say, the conditions were high, and I was tempted."

"Then why didn't you agree? Also, what condition was missing?" Xue Meigui's curiosity was piqued.

"Ahem, that's a secret."

"Could it be they offered you daily erotic massages?" Xue Meigui disdainfully asked again.

Lin Hai nearly choked to death on his breath.

Sh*t, even the cold Sister Xue was beginning to look down on him.

As the dignified King of Assassins, if he were attracted by such a low-level condition, it would be truly embarrassing.

"Ahem, you're overthinking it. I'm such a handsome man; countless women are longing to have something happen with me."

After saying that, Lin Hai smiled shyly.

"Narcissist, shameless."

Xue Meigui despised him once more.

"Hey, Sister Xue, after all, I'm your master now, you should give me some face," Lin Hai huffed indignantly, expressing his inner protest.

"Lin Hai, what kind of organization was it, and what conditions did they offer?"

"I'm worried you're new to Yanjing and unclear about many situations. If you are deceived and used, you could make mistake after mistake, falling into an abyss of no return."

Xue Meigui spoke with some concern.

Especially since Lin Hai was known as the Demon Young Master, once his identity was exposed, there would surely be sinister plots targeting him throughout the Yanjing circle, launching a series of offensives.

"An abyss of no return?" Lin Hai scoffed.

If they really offered the last condition buried in his heart, even an abyss of no return wouldn't make him frown.

"You don't need to know what kind of organization it is; they're not in Yanjing anyway."

"As for what conditions they offered me, they were enough to drive many people crazy with greed."

"And what is that condition in your heart?" Xue Meigui frowned again, feeling the need to fully understand Lin Hai.

Your last inner condition?

Lin Hai couldn't help but look up at the starry sky, his gaze becoming deep and murmured, "Perhaps my last condition is to bring her back to life. If someone could make that happen, even if it meant joining whatever organization, even facing an abyss of no return, I would agree immediately."

Xue Meigui was suddenly shaken upon hearing this.

Looking at Lin Hai's profound face, at that moment, he seemed just like a strong man who had just walked off the battlefield, revealing his most tender and delicate side.

"Ahem, just kidding. You girls, no matter how fierce, always get swayed by some idol drama or K-drama—why so much suffering and sadness?"

Lin Hai suddenly changed the subject.

Xue Meigui was so angry she gritted her teeth, "Why don't you agree with that damn organization, so you can fall into an abyss of no return."

"Tch, joining an organization means too many rules; more rules mean more constraints, and I would feel very uncomfortable."

The stronger a person is, the prouder they are inside, and the less they like to be confined.

So, the experts who join major organizations often face unfathomable restrictions and hindrances when it comes to enhancing their strength and various other aspects later on.

Xue Meigui was taken aback once more.

She had been a first-class expert for many years.

Yet, in recent years, her strength had clearly not improved quickly.

Lin Hai's words seemed to suddenly illuminate her mind.

That inner release gave her a subtle sense of progress in her strength.

"Alright, let's go home."

Lin Hai's words interrupted Xue Meigui's thoughts.

"Who exactly are you, how strong are you? Even a super first-class expert can't withstand three moves from you." Xue Meigui couldn't help but voice the curiosity she had been harboring all these days.

"Haha, I'm a Supreme Strong, and a pretty awesome one at that," Lin Hai laughed and said.

This straightforward manner made Xue Meigui somewhat reluctant to believe it directly.

"Let's go home; the Demon Young Master promised to lend me his car just now."

Lin Hai pointed to an Audi A8 not far away.

...

Ten minutes later, they returned to the rental house.

The A8 was driven by Xue Meigui into the school parking lot to prevent Lin Mengru from suspecting Lin Hai's unusual status.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Hai opened the door of the rental house.

He was already prepared for the pathetic treatment of being severely interrogated and reprimanded by the CEO and tormented by the Ning sisters.

Creak, the door opened.

"Huh? So quiet?"

Lin Hai noticed there was no flying high heel as he had anticipated upon opening the door.

There was no one in the outer room at all.

"Where did everyone go?" Lin Hai murmured to himself.

Suddenly, a stumbling figure accompanied by giggling laughter sounded.

"Ah, you guys are terrible, I won't undress!"

The Beautiful Principal Ning covered her blushing face, rushing out quickly, with her outer garment already pulled off.

"What the hell is going on?"

With a crash, the Beautiful Principal Ning unexpectedly collided into Lin Hai's arms.

"Could there be a serial X-thief?" Lin Hai widened his eyes, feeling the Gang Qi in his body starting to stir.

"Haoyu, you're cheating. In Truth or Dare, you didn't dare to say whether you're a virgin, so you chose to strip as a dare."

The familiar voice of the CEO came from Lin Hai's room.

Soon after, the CEO came out, with a smile on his face.

Then, the smile vanished as soon as he saw Beast Lin.

Especially with several small pieces of paper stuck on the CEO's face, a "king" character painted on the forehead, and three whiskers drawn on either side of the mouth.
