Fear!

An emotion that arises when one is in the presence of someone who has the power to permanently alter one's life, though some of that emotion, such as fear, can also be transformed into admiration.

It is extremely difficult for someone to win genuine recognition or admiration of a person, so there aren't many people who are able to bring about those changes.

When Lin Tao and Eliora arrived at the casino, it was already evening, and a sizable crowd could be seen entering the building, demonstrating how well the casino was doing business in this area.

Although the majority of the clients were small-scale business owners, they were able to travel with some ease and make circuitous trips throughout the entire eastern district.

The Blood Gang has the ability to earn millions of dollars every day, and during some particularly successful weeks, they can even surpass tens of millions of dollars.

"Welcome, Miss Eliora, and this must be the young master Feng Lin we have heard about."

Black Fang, the right-hand man of Blood Gang leader Chief Lu, was also known throughout the area for his famous skills in blade fighting and ruthlessness.

In the Blood Gang, however, this man was known as the kindest master, the most devoted person under Chief Lu, and is known for looking after the young boys who come to join the gang.

[Ding: Another mission target has been set... Save Eliora from the clutches of Black Gang Vice-master and make the organization work for you.]

[Warning: Failure in this quest will end up death of Eliora and a main storyline character death.]

[Reward: +60 Affection toward Master and Mysterious Cultivation Chant.]

Lin Tao closed his eyes and studied Black Feng's expression after hearing the electronic words that had been echoing in his head.

From this, he deduced that Black Feng was not the so-called Vice-Master of the Gang and that this quest would be a little challenging.

However, he thought that the quest would be worthwhile if it were for Eliora, who is a naturally beautiful blonde and the object of his affection.

"Thank you, Black Fang; as expected the moment I saw you, I can feel the little pressure that you exert even while doing nothing."

When Lin Tao shook the boy's hand, he became serious because the grip and strength of the boy's hand made him feel slightly threatened.

"This young master is not someone to smoke at; he might be as strong as me or someone who is more powerful than me."

Black Feng His natural ability to detect danger and stress provided him with the concept of Feng Lin strength.

This caused Lin Tao's thoughts to begin to swarm around the young master he was guiding, who had just been given the authority to run the city's only four-star hotel.

So, their master told him to bring the boy with utmost caution and also warned him that he needed to make sure, that no one would cause trouble in this matter.

"Eliora, you've been acting weird; if there is something, then you can tell me, alright." Eliora was also acting weird, which did not go unnoticed by Lin Tao's eyes.

So, taking the time to tease her when she was acting this absent-minded, he grabbed her waist and pulled her near him as he whispered in her ear.

Eeee!!!

That came as a surprise to Eliora, who almost turned red and turned to look at Lin Tao, who was sneering and teasing her, but his words also made her calm.

She observed that he appeared extremely serious about guarding her words, despite his smiles.

"Stop teasing me like this, but I will depend on you, alright, so do not disappoint me."

When she said those last few words, she appeared very red, but there was a hint of awkwardness in her voice, as if she was trying to trust him but was unable to do so fully.

Lin Tao was able to tell that the girl beside him was different and must have a history that caused her to be so cold toward masters like him and others in the same category.

"Her heart is closed to people who are like us, which means that this will be a difficult case to solve but one with a satisfying payoff." He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek while nodding, which caused her to blush. However, she snatched his hand from his waist, nearly causing Lin Tao to cry, which led to a momentary smile. "Ha, you can smile like that, which is a good thing to know." Lin Tao continued to tease Eliora, who had transformed into a stoic personality, but her apathy began to change when it came to Lin Tao.

Black Fang turned to look at the two guests with a little annoyed face, although he did not show it clearly to them. Being a single and engaging in this type of flirting made him feel pitiful just because he was still single at the time.

...???

Lin Tao and Eliora reached the guest room, where Lin Tao found the guy sitting in the main chair to be so-called Chief Lu, who turned out to be a simple man with no explosive force or fighting capability.

The man had colored hair and a hesitant expression of gratitude for coming, which made for an awkward combination given the intimidating presence the people next to him were projecting.

When Lin Tao turned to look at a man, he did not even try to hide his lust when he looked at Eliora, making her a little angry, but she was able to hold it in.

It was at this point that Lin Tao finally managed to locate the object he was trying to destroy.

He also remembered something intriguing from a previous life and thought that the evening would be interesting.

After all, he recalls a specific piece of news that will be extremely interesting if the person he needs to destroy is that individual.

"I say young master Lin Tao sure has a good taste in women; this lady over there definitely has some nice assets." A man in glasses spoke up as he drew his spectacles up and looked at Eliora with interest and lust in his eyes.

"You have good eyes for a lady vice-master of the Blood Gang, but I heard something interesting about the men selling black gold in these areas."

"Although the result of my family's investigation reached the conclusion that "it was being sold in the name of Vice-Mentor," so I wanted to ask the Chief if those people are related to you, given that I am thinking of taking action against them."

Lin Tao's sneer, combined with the cunningness of his smile, caused the old man to fall silent, as Lin Tao simply stared at the so-called Vice-Master, checking to see if the guy's reaction had changed.

And as Lin Tao had predicted, he was able to tell that the other man had faked each and every one of his actions, which gave him a good idea of what the man was currently thinking.

"Young Master Ling Tao, are you sure about the news? If so, I will also act on it and clear them, no matter what their origin is."

As Lin had anticipated, the person known as the master of the underworld was able to sense the danger emanating from that source and took swift action in response to Lin Tao's brief question.

He also began to suspect that Lin Tao had come here for more than just to greet them.

"Black Fang? Go and check things out, where Wise and Honor will help you out on this case."

He turned to face the so-called Vice-Master and Honor, who were blond-haired men with chestnut-colored hair mixed in with their blond hair and a stiff expression on their faces.

Despite his presence, he wore a cool expression when looking at Wise, also known as the Vice-Master.

"Don't worry, we will make it soon, and thanks, brat." Lin Tao, who was being sent off by Black Fang, received a tap on the shoulder and responded with a smile and a nod.

Then, as the Chief nodded, the other executive followed suit and left.
