Two jet skis raced across the water.

"CEO, he can't catch up," the man in black reassured.

Song Shandian suddenly turned his head and glared at the man in black. "Are you an idiot! Haven't you watched anime and TV dramas? How many villains die because they think they're so clever!"

The man in black chuckled, skillfully maneuvering his jet ski as he kept pace steadily beside Song Shandian. "CEO, please trust my professionalism. Our jet skis have a maximum speed of 85 kilometers per hour. Even with Li Xuan's transformation ability and blue whale genes, it's impossible for him to swim faster than 85 kilometers per hour in just ten meters of water depth. He can only eat our dust."

Hearing this, Song Shandian's tension eased considerably. He knew the man in black's capabilities well - this was absolutely a talent among talents.

Proficient in multiple languages, PhD in materials chemistry, professional racing driver, had served as a mercenary overseas, participated in multiple combat conflicts without a single injury, fought in underground boxing with 32 matches - 31 wins, 1 loss, and had won a legitimate boxing championship gold belt in the lightweight division.

During his hiring process, he single-handedly taken down eight bodyguards.

His only problem was bad luck - first bought an unfinished building project, then went overseas to fight in underground matches, earned good money, bought property abroad, only to have it burn down in a fire three months later.

Worked as a translator, only to discover his employer intended to sell him to a scam compound, suffered considerably but escaped through his physical prowess and intelligence. Returned to the country, lived peacefully for two years, met a woman, discussed marriage, only for her parents to demand astronomical betrothal gifts.

Left with no choice, the man in black joined Song Shandian's company, secured himself a high salary, finally saved enough for the betrothal gifts and had both house and car, then the apocalypse descended, his fiancée's entire family turned into zombies, and all his hard-earned savings became worthless paper.

"How do you think Li Xuan knew our plans in advance?" Song Shandian asked.

The man in black pondered. "He holds great secrets, almost like he can predict the future. Now that we've confirmed supernatural powers exist in this world, we can't rule out that Li Xuan has precognitive abilities."

"I interrogated Bai Lengning. She said Li Xuan never practiced as a Taoist priest, nor had she seen him use strange objects. Before the apocalypse, Li Xuan was just an ordinary company employee, nothing special. I believe Li Xuan obtained his abilities when the apocalypse arrived!"

Song Shandian licked his lips. "With supernatural powers emerging, the ability to predict the future is key to us becoming the elite ruling class. We absolutely cannot lose this opportunity. We must find a way to capture Li Xuan!"

Suddenly, both men simultaneously reduced their speed.

Ahead on the water surface floated numerous obstacles!

These things hadn't been here when they passed through earlier!

Song Shandian turned to look at the man in black. "What do we do? Can we still get through?"

The man in black frowned deeply. "This must be Li Xuan's doing. If we turn back, we'll definitely encounter Li Xuan, and that would mean certain death!"

"But if there are too many obstacles ahead and we get trapped among them, we'll die just the same." Song Shandian panicked, sweat beading on his forehead.

Boom!

A tremendous sound accompanied by a terrifying roar approached.

Song Shandian's face turned pale. "He's coming! Li Xuan is coming!"

The man in black's mind raced, his eyes darting around until he quickly devised a plan.

"Jump into the water! Hide among the debris! That's our only chance of survival!"

Without questioning this, Song Shandian immediately jumped into the water.

The man in black did the same, but he kept his wits about him, finding himself a concealed position.

If Li Xuan found Song Shandian and delivered a killing blow without giving him chance to speak, he might have a high probability of escaping unscathed.

"Li Xuan might not know the CEO had someone else with him!"

The man in black was betting on this information gap!
