Lionheart Society: I am an S-class freshman, with infinite power of words.

Lin Chen picked up the sake next to him and drank it all, then wrapped his arms around Sakurai Kogure's neck and kissed her lips.

Sakurai Kogure couldn't break free, or rather, she had no intention of breaking free at all.

If it's a forced kiss from someone else, it will be as fierce as a wild beast, and you can push them away to stop them.

But Lin Chen's movements were gentle and casual, with a subtle skill hidden within them, achieving an effect similar to using minimal force to overcome great strength.

More importantly, Lin Chen's embrace around her neck felt as comfortable as a massage.

Sakurai Kogure felt like she was about to drift off to sleep, but the warmth of Lin Chen's lips reminded her, and she subconsciously sat up straight to meet him.

After a long time, Lin Chen finally released Sakurai Kogure.

Sakurai Kogure breathed heavily, unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

"Let's continue," Lin Chen said. "It should be up to the arm by now."

Sakurai Kogure didn't dare to say anything more. She knelt down beside Lin Chen and began to massage his arms.

Lin Chen poured himself a glass of sake and sipped it while enjoying Sakurai Kogure's massage.

Sakurai Kogure massaged him carefully, not even daring to look up at Lin Chen.

"Well done." After a long silence, Lin Chen said softly, "You don't belong here."

Sakurai Kogure took a deep breath: "Mr. Lin Chen is joking."

Lin Chen stroked Sakurai Kogure's stunning profile, then lifted her chin: "You're too tired. This war doesn't need you."

Sakurai Kogure looked at Lin Chen. She thought she should see some sharpness in Lin Chen's eyes, but there was only gentleness in those watery eyes.

“Mr. Lin Chen…” Sakurai Kogure was speechless.

"How long do you think this place can hold out?" Lin Chen said. "The Demon Clan is already in the shadows of the Snake Clan, but the Paradise Mansion is so blatant. How could the Snake Clan allow this place to exist? Next, they will wipe this place out and then start a war against the Demon Clan!"

Chapter 254: Blackrock Mansion! The Hatchery of the Sea Gods!

"So fast!" Sakurai Kogure exclaimed in surprise.

“I am representing Kassel College in intervening in the Sakura Kingdom for something important in your Sakura Kingdom’s mythology. The superficial peace cannot be maintained at all. In order to boost morale, it is time for the Snake Clan to end the Demon Clan with a war!”

Sakurai Kogure remained silent; she knew Lin Chen was telling the truth.

"You intend to participate in this war? And then die in vain?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm just stating a fact," Lin Chen said. "You're from the Sakurai family of the Snake Clan. Because of your unstable bloodline, you were forced to flee here because you can survive here. But you're about to face danger again. If you want to live, only I can help you!"

"you?"

"I think the answer is obvious. Sakura Country is the territory of the Snake Clan. You will be hunted down by the entire Sakura Country. Only I can protect you!"

Sakurai Kogure shook her head: "Sorry~, I don't need it!"

"Don't rush," Lin Chen said. "You will make the right judgment."

Kogure Sakurai didn't know how to answer.

Lin Chen got up and looked at the gentle sunlight outside the window.

Sakurai Kogure looked at him with suspicion and uncertainty.

Lin Chen took out a black paper gift box from his pocket. The box was wrapped tightly, so it was impossible to tell what was inside.

"I feel great today," Lin Chen said. "Here's a little gift for you."

Sakurai Kogure was taken aback.

She had been the manager of the brothel for a long time. Every time a gambler met the conditions for having their wish fulfilled, they would desperately try to get it back and do everything they could to achieve their desire.

But Lin Chen actually gave her something, which Sakurai Kogure didn't expect.

"what is this?"

Kogure Sakurai did not refuse; she believed that the ace leader of Kassel College would not give her a cheap gift.

She gently unwrapped the gift; inside was a glass test tube filled with red liquid.

Lin Chen looked at Sakurai Kogure: "You are all demons. Although you keep saying that you want to walk the path to godhood, under the influence of the evolution drugs, the end of your path is to completely degenerate into dead servants. But this thing can save you!"

The red liquid in the test tube was pure and flawless; it was Lin Chen's blood.

With each check-in and improvement, Lin Chen's bloodline was also purified.

Compared to those evolutionary drugs with a host of side effects, Lin Chen's path to godhood is the purest one.

For Lin Chen, he is now on par with the Dragon King.

Or you could call him... a half-blood monarch!

Sakurai Kogure's blood is unstable, and it becomes even more dangerous under the influence of the evolution drug.

At this moment, only Lin Chen's blood could save her. This was the advantage of her high-purity bloodline. Similarly, Lin Chen's blood had a fatal attraction for Deadpool.

Sakurai Kogure asked incredulously, "Why?"

"There's no reason why. I've already said you don't belong here." Lin Chen walked to the door of the VIP room, turned his head slightly, and said, "Keep her safe. When I come back, remember to give me a full massage!"

Sakurai Kogure's eyes held a complex expression as Lin Chen pushed open the door and walked out.

Lin Chen walked through the gambling hall and took Jiu De Mai with him.

They crossed the small bridge outside the house back to the parking area and drove their Maybach away.

Sakurai Kogure stood at the window on the third floor of the Paradise House.

She held the test tube Lin Chen had given her in her hand, watching Lin Chen's car gradually disappear around the bend in the mountain.

Before this, she had always thought that Lin Chen had some ulterior motive.

But now it seems that Lin Chen really did come for her.

She looked at the test tube containing blood in her hand, gently pulled out the stopper, and the thick, fresh blood rippled inside—it was absolutely pure blood.

She didn't have the blood tested, but she believed it was something that could save her.

……

The Maybach sped along the country roads as they returned to Kyoto from Osaka.

"Boss," Mai said, driving the car, "Shall I take you home now?"

Lin Chen sat in the back seat, looking at the face of Mai Shude reflected in the rearview mirror.

“Let’s go to Su Enxi’s place,” Lin Chen said. “I remember Su Enxi saying that she has a very large official residence in Sakura Country.”

Kyoto.

Atami Castle, Izu Peninsula.

This is a seaside hot spring town, renowned throughout the land of cherry blossoms.

Many high-ranking officials and dignitaries buy luxury homes here and choose suitable holidays to come here to bathe in the hot springs.

At the very edge of the sea, atop a towering black cliff, stands the most luxurious mansion in Atami City.

Blackstone Mansion!

Blackstone Mansion is located at the highest point of the island, almost entirely surrounded by the sea, with sheer cliffs rising below its high walls.

The official residence stands here, like a katana stuck in the rock, towering and guarding this place.

Blackstone Mansion is an ancient and protected historical site. The stone and wood used for its maintenance are extremely expensive, and the annual maintenance costs are staggering!

Ten years ago, this place was sold by its previous owner, and someone bought it for nearly one billion yuan.

But Su Enxi doesn't live here. She bought such a huge mansion only to house two little wildcats.

The professional butlers and servants in the mansion were all dumbfounded; their job had become cleaning up after the poop!

The person who bought it was Su Enxi, who was still working for her former boss at the time.

Now that Su Enxi is following Lin Chen, this Black Stone Mansion naturally belongs to Lin Chen's name.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and even the butlers have grown old, but Su Enxi still hasn't come here.

Mai Shude drove to the island by ferry and brought Lin Chen to the front of the Black Stone Mansion.

"Do we need to go in?" Mai asked. "The steward here still doesn't know who the owner of the mansion is. If we want to go in, I need to contact Su Enxi."

Lin Chen waved his hand: "No need, we can just get out of the car and take a look."

Jiude Mai opened the car door for Lin Chen and together they looked around the official residence surrounded by black stone walls.

"Are we really not going in?" Mai asked.

"Of course I'll go in, but not as the host for now."

Lin Chen took Jiu De Mai's hand, which made Jiu De Mai a little stunned.

She and Lin Chen were very close and often had physical contact, but at this moment they were in a working mode. Jiu De Mai didn't expect Lin Chen to be so intimate with her.

Suddenly, Mai felt a gust of wind hit her face, and in the next instant, she found herself on the roof of a building in the backyard of the official residence.

That was the realm of Time Zero, where Lin Chen flew to with Jiu De Mai.
