Go apologize to Lin Baici!”

After Tang Zhiqian finished speaking, he squeezed Xue Zhao’s shoulder hard.

Whether Xue Zhao apologized or not, he didn’t care; he had said all that he could.

Upon hearing this, Xue Zhao’s face grew dark as he looked towards Lv Yingxi.

“Zhao Zi, if you want to live, just endure it!”

If it weren’t for the fact that his father had a good relationship with Xue Zhao’s parents, Lv Yingxi would never have said such a thing.

What if Lin Baici held a grudge?

Xue Zhao clenched his fists and looked at his friends.

But they all pretended not to see and avoided his gaze.

“Brother Xue, today is different from usual; you’ve offended a God Hunter!” The young man with the earring, still mindful of old ties, hesitated before speaking out: “That’s someone you can’t afford to offend!”

Lin Baici wanted to go upstairs, but he couldn’t find the way.

Because of the radiation from God’s bones, the terrain and architecture of this Palm Harbor resort had completely changed.

The dark fog was slowly spreading, visibility had increased to more than thirty meters, a significant improvement from the previous five or six meters.

The group walked along a shady path lined with grass that grew as high as half a person.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the grass became sparser, and Lin Baici suddenly stopped.

“Shhh!”

Lin Baici put a finger to his lips, signaling everyone to be silent, then pressed his left hand downward, indicating for everyone to crouch down.

“Spread out, into the grass!”

Everyone acted immediately.

Soon, they heard voices coming from up ahead.

“Is there an end to this path or not?

We’re not hitting a ghost wall, are we?”

“We need to think of something.

We can’t keep walking like this forever; we’ll die of exhaustion!”

“Damn it, I’m not walking anymore!”

A group of people cursing and complaining emerged from the dark fog ahead.

“These people are really lucky!”

Guo Zheng sneered, observing that although they appeared disheveled and anxious, they had no blood on them – meaning they hadn’t encountered any rule contamination.

About thirty people were in this group, with seven or eight middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, who were clearly the highest status individuals within the group.

Their aura was similar to Fu Jinlin’s, obviously wealthy bosses enjoying their time at Palm Harbor.

There were also a few rugged men in their thirties who were clearly not to be trifled with.

They were the most vigilant and didn’t complain, always on guard.

They must be the bosses’ bodyguards.

The rest were young women, in their twenties, youthful and beautiful, dressed fashionably, with makeup on, exuding an aura unattainable to average males.

Lin Baici even saw a familiar face: it was Feng Yi, the teacher from Haixi Drama College who had asked him if he wanted to visit the college at the Haijing train station on the day of university registration.

“Boss He!

Manager Gu!”

Fu Jinlin saw acquaintances and stood up, shouting.

“Old Fu?”

A middle-aged man with a potbelly from the other side, seeing Fu Jinlin, suddenly brightened up: “Where did you come from?

Do you know the way out?”

Since they weren’t monsters, there was no need to hide.

Everyone came out of the grass.

Feng Yi sized up the individuals; upon noticing Lin Baici in the crowd, he looked startled.

Wasn’t this the Haijing Polytechnic student he had met when welcoming new students that day?

What was he doing here?

In Feng Yi’s view, those who could enter this place were either rich or noble.

Of course, there was another type: playthings.

Like the mistresses brought by those bosses.

“Manager Gu, that young man, the tallest one, that’s the one I wanted to recommend to you before!”

Feng Yi pointed to Lin Baici, introducing him to a woman dressed in a white business suit next to him.

“Hmm!”

Gu Rongjie nodded; she had already noticed him.

The guy was handsome, and even though he was wearing an ordinary T-shirt and jeans, that distinctive air of uniqueness couldn’t be hidden.

“Boss Gu, this guy has given up on joining your entertainment company, he has no idea what a rare opportunity he’s missed!”

Feng Yi brown-nosed, “He’ll regret it for the rest of his life!”

“If you don’t want to cause trouble, it’s best you stop saying that kind of thing!”

Gu Rongjie turned her head and warned Feng Yi.

“Huh?”

Feng Yi was stunned, thinking, Did I just suck up to the wrong person?

Gu Rongjie didn’t want to explain.

Looking at the group of people opposite her, their faces all showed varying degrees of nervousness and anxiety, with the exception of that guy who seemed as calm as if he were picnicking in the countryside.

Oh right, that big bear of a girl by his side also seemed quite composed.

“Boss He, Boss Gu, you guys look fine—haven’t run into any trouble?”

Fu Jinlin’s gaze lingered more on Gu Rongjie.

This woman, in her thirties, was not only attractive in appearance and voluptuous in figure, but she was also the CEO of Huaxing Entertainment, holding considerable clout in the entertainment industry.

Conquering her would give one an immense sense of achievement.

“Have you encountered any problems?”

Gu Rongjie asked in return.

“Ah, don’t mention it, my bodyguard is dead!”

Fu Jinlin sighed, then habitually laughed: “Come over here, let me introduce you—this is God Lin!”

“God Lin?”

Boss He frowned, and the other tycoons appeared just as confused.

What kind of silly nickname was that?

Was it from playing games?

Boss He remembered his son forming a professional gaming team; those good players were always dubbed “God” this and “God” that by their fans.

Gu Rongjie’s eyebrows arched; she knew what kind of person Fu Jinlin was, he ran a real estate company, and, although he was smooth and affable, he wasn’t the sort to casually call a young upstart “God”.

The girls had much simpler thoughts, just finding Lin Baici rather handsome and Xia Hongyao’s bear impressively big.

“This is God Xia, God Guo!”

Fu Jinlin introduced Xia Hongyao and Guo Zheng.

In truth, Xia Hongyao hadn’t shown much during the rule pollution, but since she was a friend of God Lin, naturally, she had to be placed before Guo Zheng.

“What is all this messy nonsense?”

An older tycoon, somewhat balding and already in a foul mood, cursed under his breath, dissatisfied with Fu Jinlin’s obtuse statements.

“How did your bodyguard die?”

“Where did you come from?

Hurry up and lead us out of this hellhole; we’ve been roaming around here for ages!”

“Do you have any water?

Sell me some!”

The bosses were noisy and clamorous, accustomed to being served by others and worth over a hundred million, hence they spoke without restraint.

“Xie Changfeng, watch your tone!”

Fu Jinlin warned.

“This is how I talk, what about it?

Piss me off, and I’ll curse you all out too!”

The balding boss was explosive in temperament.

He had been lured here by He Zhongkun for a business talk, but now that he was caught up in this mess, he felt utterly screwed.

If he had known it was going to be like this, wouldn’t it have been nicer to stay in his office playing poker with his secretary?

“Boss Fu, who exactly is God Lin…?”

Boss Gu proactively walked over and stood in front of Lin Baici.

She noticed that when Fu Jinlin introduced her and He Zhongkun, he directed them toward the young man, which generally indicated that he had a higher status.

Unbelievable!

He Zhongkun was worth billions as a coal tycoon, and she was the CEO of an entertainment company that had produced five hit series and had a roster of stars.

What kind of background could this guy have, that would make He Zhongkun and herself take the initiative to curry favor?

[Hey, a high-end ingredient, it’s recommended to consume it before it dies!]

“High-end?”

Lin Baici raised an eyebrow; it seemed that Eater God was referring to this female CEO.

She was dressed in a professional skirt suit, flesh-colored stockings on her legs, and her feet were adorned with a pair of white high-heels with cutouts on the sides, looking elegant and understated.
