Urban Ace Bodyguard

"Brother Yama, can you get some fresh blood?" The Blood Earl's feeble voice rang out.

"Uh? Let me heal your wounds." Only then did Lin Hai notice how weak the Blood Earl had become, with his legs blown off, a large dent in his chest bone, and the left half of his head caved in. It's uncertain whether he'll have any long-term effects, like—being brain-damaged.

The Blood Earl shook his head: "It's useless, blood has the greatest effect on my recovery."

"Sh*t, you can't really be a vampire, right?" Lin Hai's eyes widened. The Blood Earl, who was experienced and well-studied in history, completely fits the standard of a long-lived old monster.

The Blood Earl gave Lin Hai a dismissive look, as if he were looking at an "idiot," and said, "There's no such thing as vampires in this world."

"I've been in the international Dark Underground World for many years, and I've never seen anyone recover by sucking blood."

"That's because you know too little. The world is so vast, and there are countless strange things. My case is special."

"Alright, I don't have human blood, how about some chicken blood?"

"That will do, best to inject it directly into the body using a syringe."

"…You seriously need a shot of chicken blood."

Lin Hai was completely speechless.

Half an hour later, the Blood Earl had roughly recovered from his wounds, but he was still very weak.

"Speaking of which, how many moves did you exchange with the Taboo character?" Lin Hai supported the Blood Earl, asking while they headed back.

He was very curious about the identity of this Taboo character and wanted to pry some information from the Blood Earl's lips.

"A few moves? I was busy running for my life. Who could actually exchange blows with that kind of person? When I first sneaked into Huaxia, I was nearly slapped into a pulp with a casual flick of the wrist by the other side. Luckily, I had Legendary strength at the time and took precious medicine promptly, which barely saved my life and allowed me to escape back to Abyss Castle, where I dare not show up for many years."

The Blood Earl recounted the experience with lingering fear.

Lin Hai rolled his eyes, realizing that the Blood Earl's previous boastful talk of exchanging blows and getting injured by the Taboo entity in Huaxia was all an act of bravado.

"What exactly is the nature of a Taboo character?"

Lin Hai asked curiously.

"An existence that surpasses the Legendary level, could almost be considered invincible in this world."

"Invincible in this world!!!" Lin Hai took a deep breath.

He never thought that beyond the Legendary level, there really were higher existences.

"What do you call the level above Legendary?"

Lin Hai asked again.

The Blood Earl shook his head: "I don't know, this kind of thing is top-secret everywhere and won't be easily revealed to the public."

Pausing for a moment, the Blood Earl then said, "Just now, he taught you a technique on purpose, you should learn it well. Maybe you'll have a chance to meet a Taboo character again someday. If the other side helps you, stepping into the Legendary level is within reach."

Lin Hai nodded solemnly; indeed, those two techniques, if mastered, would be a strong asset to have and of great help in his future Martial Path pursuits.

When they got back to the villa, the incident didn't alarm anyone else.

"Beast Lin, where did you go fooling around?" Ouyang Xiaoya saw Lin Hai's return and glared at him with furrowed brows.

Damn beast, running off with a Foreigner in the middle of the night, looking all sneaky too, you must have been up to no good.

"It's like this, respected and beautiful Miss Ouyang, I was feeling unwell just now, and Brother Lin took me to the hospital for a check." The Blood Earl said solemnly and even bowed slightly like a gentleman, his tone sounding nothing like a lie.

Lin Hai was stupefied, no wonder they say European gentlemen are hypocritical scammers; sh*t, it would be a waste not to have him on a Spring Festival Gala.

"Just now everyone was saying to go out for KTV, look, it's already nine o'clock."

Ouyang Xiaoya complained with a sigh.

KTV? Damn, been with the wife for so long, and never been to KTV.

When the time comes, I'll show off my moving vocals, might just make the wife bloom with joy.

This is a great opportunity to spend time with a beauty.

"CEO, the night has only just begun." Lin Hai said with a grin.

Ruoshuang and Queen Qi could no longer hold back their excitement, eager to go out and have fun. They quickly agreed, "Yeah, it's not really late, we should all go out and have some fun, have some barbecue, sing some songs."

"Right, and let the Foreigner experience the beautiful singing of Huaxia." Ruoshuang added.

Tao Shuishui had already returned and eagerly chimed in: "I love singing the most, especially getting to see Hua Hua sing." This was somewhat to curry favor with Lin Hai as she had a favor to ask of him.

Hua Hua nodded along as well.

There was no room for objection, and in fact, Ouyang Xiaoya was just trying to give Beast Lin a hard time.

"If that's the case, then let's go sing." Ouyang Xiaoya nodded.

"Let's go, we can sing now!" Everyone cheered.

"Hold on, let's make it clear, everyone must be home before midnight!"

"Ah?" Everyone frowned.

It was already nine o'clock. By the time we get to KTV, it would take at least half an hour. Considering the time women take to get ready and all, we'd only have two hours of playtime from ten to twelve.

"CEO, why do we have to be home before midnight? Are you afraid of hooligans?" Lin Hai asked helplessly.

"It's not safe at night, and besides, we have work tomorrow." The beautiful CEO replied.

"Hehe, easy to solve, I guarantee you'll be satisfied," Lin Hai grinned.

"Let's hear it, and just so you know, no more twisted logic."

Ouyang Xiaoya had suffered enough from Beast Lin's antics.

She didn't want Beast Lin to play with words again.

Lin Hai lit a cigarette and, under the slightly disgusted gaze of the CEO, he chuckled and pointed at Blood Earl, saying, "You know this guy's strength. Forget a few small-time hooligans, even if there were a hundred big-time thugs, he could probably take them down with ease."

Ouyang Xiaoya then remembered the Blood Earl's terrifying strength and realized she had overlooked his actual nature amidst his polite and cultured demeanor.

Indeed, with Blood Earl present, there was no need to worry about the threat of hooligans.

"But what about the problem with work?" Ouyang Xiaoya pressed on, not giving up.

Lin Hai didn't say a word but pointed at himself, slightly clearing his throat.

"You? You can solve it?" Ouyang Xiaoya obviously didn't believe him.

"Wife, have you forgotten what I am now? The mighty CEO, isn't giving you a few days off just a matter of saying so?" Lin Hai adopted an "I am the CEO, I am so cool" expression.

Ouyang Xiaoya rolled her eyes; indeed, she had forgotten that the Beast Lin was now the CEO.

"Wow? Uncle, you really became the CEO?" Hua Hua asked with wide eyes, shocked.

Lin Hai nodded seriously: "Humble as I am, I am now the CEO of Youming Ya Group."

Ruoshuang was also stunned: "Uncle, you've become the CEO, so what about my cousin?"

"Your cousin is now my secretary; she does secretary stuff during the day, and at night... well, there's no 'at night'." Lin Hai blurted out almost committing a gaffe, and only upon receiving the threatening gaze from the CEO, did he sheepishly stop in time.

"Hmph, let's go to KTV." The CEO bit her teeth and decreed.

"Let's go."
