Jiang Zhong sighed deeply and spoke slowly: "Haotian, the disaster that year was caused by the coming of the Netherworld Demon. In order to protect you, your parents resolutely decided to lure away the Netherworld Demon, but unfortunately they suffered at its hands."

After hearing this, Li Haotian was filled with indescribable shock and confusion. He widened his eyes and his voice trembled slightly: "This...what on earth is going on? Why do you know all this?"

Jiang Zhong shook his head slightly, his tone was a bit mysterious and serious: "Li Haotian, there are some things that cannot be easily revealed."

"Netherworld Demon?!"

"How is it possible! It appeared more than ten years ago?" Huanying was very confused, because the Nether Demon only appeared recently!

Jiang Zhong's answer was, "It was the Netherworld Demon that was not sealed! There is no statue of her in the Demon Suppression Tower!"

Huanying continued to comfort him in a gentle tone: "Xiaotian, you have now got the answer and understood what happened in the past. But please do not be bound by this. You still have a broader future waiting for you to explore."

Xiao Gang also added: "That's right, Xiao Tian, ​​those Netherworld Demons..."

Li Haotian pondered for a long time, "Okay, I'll join..."

"Do you want to see your parents?" Jiang Zhong said lightly.

Li Haotian's pupils shrank, "What?! You can do it?!"

"Um... it's not possible now! Maybe in the future!" Jiang Zhong just asked the system about the feasibility of using the Shura Armor to go back and rescue Xiaotian's parents!

The system’s answer is yes, but this will open up another timeline where Xiaotian’s parents are still alive. And in the timeline where Jiang Zhong is, Xiaotian’s parents died more than ten years ago and will not be resurrected!

......

In an underground parking lot, Badou slowly stepped out of his car with a frown on his face.

He looked around, his eyes finally fixed on the new secretary beside him, who had never appeared in public before.

Badou asked the short male secretary wearing black-framed glasses with some doubt, "Is this the place where the legendary master lives in seclusion?"

The secretary smiled and responded respectfully, "That's right, Badong. This is exactly the residence of the master who is well versed in magic that I found according to your instructions."

Badou sighed softly, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes. The environment here was extremely simple and far from what he expected.

But then, he thought of the widely circulated proverb: a true master often has a unique temperament and preferences.

So, he smiled with relief, and thought to himself: Never mind, maybe this master is the kind of person who doesn't care about trivial matters and only cares about himself.

The male secretary noticed that Ba Dou did not raise any more objections, so he extended his hand respectfully, made a guiding gesture, and said softly: "Mr. Ba, please come this way."

"I have already communicated with the master in advance. He is now on the rooftop waiting for our arrival." The secretary added.

Badou nodded slightly and followed the new secretary's steps towards the master's location. Badou was quite satisfied with the new secretary's performance.

Although he did not like the environment here, it was not easy to have such a capable assistant at this critical juncture.

He also knew in his heart that although he was quite satisfied with this secretary, under the current situation, he did not have enough manpower to rely on. Therefore, even if he was a little dissatisfied, he could only put it aside for the time being.

As for why he didn't let Miss Lin handle the matter, Badou had his own plan. In his opinion, the nominal secretary had already leaned towards Lufa and was far more loyal to her than to himself.

In such a situation, he would naturally not entrust important tasks to her again.

......

Stepping onto the unknown rooftop, Badou pushed open the door, and a thick white smoke rushed in his face, almost suffocating him.

To the outside world, this may be a beautiful scene filled with fairy air, but to the Crotons in it, it is like being in a suffocating chaotic world.

"What the hell is this place?" Badou couldn't help but frown and complain.

He tried to look around through the smoke, searching for the legendary master. Gradually, a tall and mighty figure appeared in the smoke.

Badou narrowed his eyes and walked closer curiously, wanting to see the man's true face.

As the distance got closer, a black man in a black suit gradually came into view. His dark skin blended in with the background of the rooftop at night, and his white teeth were particularly eye-catching in the dim light.

What was even more surprising was that the big man actually gave Croton a friendly smile.

Badou couldn't help but shudder in his heart. He had never thought that he would meet such a mysterious person who blended into the darkness. In this strange environment, the big man's smile seemed to add a bit of horror.

That smile seemed particularly strange in the silence of the night. Badou couldn't help rubbing his eyes to make sure he was not mistaken - in the black man's smile, a mouthful of white teeth flashed a dazzling light in the night, as if it could penetrate the darkness.

"What the hell?" Badou muttered to himself and blurted out.

The big man seemed to have heard his mumbling and answered in fluent Chinese: "Boss Ba, did you just say 'see a ghost'?"

He paused, then added: "Unfortunately, I am not a ghost, but the dreaded Oaks Caritoba V!"

When Badou heard this strange name, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. He turned to look at the male secretary beside him, only to see him shouting in shock:

"Oh my god! Boss, this guy is amazing! He can actually understand what you say and can even talk to us!"

Badou's face darkened, he glared at the secretary, and cursed in his heart: Damn it, is it a rare thing for foreigners to know a few words of Mandarin these days? If he wants to survive here, how could he not even speak Mandarin?

Badou waved his hand, signaling the male secretary to leave, and then he looked intently at the big black man in front of him, Garitoba.

"So you are the legendary Lord Caritoba." There was a hint of respect in Croton's voice, but more of it was scrutiny and questioning.

"I've heard that you have boundless magical powers and can do anything. But I want to tell you that the problem I'm facing is not ordinary."

Garitoba smiled and responded confidently: "Dr. Ba, if it was really an ordinary problem, why would you come to me in person?"

Croton nodded, agreeing with Garitoba's words. He had indeed encountered a difficult problem, so he had to seek help from this mysterious person.

"Since Mr. Ba already understands my ability, I will briefly explain it." Caritoba continued.

"My magic power and the efficiency of handling problems are directly proportional to the price you pay. In other words, the greater the price you are willing to pay, the bigger the problem I can handle and the faster I can handle it."

Badou frowned slightly when he heard this. He understood what Caritoba meant, but he also knew that this meant he would have to pay a heavy price.

I have plenty of money!

Badou showed an expression of "I understand" and said casually but with a hint of scrutiny: "Money? For me, problems that can be solved with money are indeed not a problem. But the problem is that I will not trust anyone easily."

After hearing what Badou said, the big black man Garitoba smiled even brighter.

Facing Badou's questioning, he seemed unusually calm, even with a hint of joking: "You don't believe me? Well, let me prove it to you."

Before he finished speaking, a dazzling light suddenly lit up behind Garitoba, as if day had come. Croton subconsciously raised his arms to block his eyes, waiting for the light to fade away.

When he opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that a mobile phone appeared out of thin air in Caritoba's hand, and that mobile phone was his own!

Badou looked at this scene in astonishment, with an inexplicable fear and awe in his heart. He knew that he had not felt anything just now, and the phone just appeared out of thin air in Caritoba's hand. This ability was beyond his understanding.

"Now, do you still doubt my ability?" Caritoba asked with a smile. Badou took a deep breath and tried to calm down the shock and anxiety in his heart.

"Telekinesis?" Badou exclaimed, "This is undoubtedly proof of extraordinary abilities!"

His face was full of surprise and shock, but he soon realized that although this ability was amazing, it might not directly help him solve his current dilemma.

Just as Badou was hesitating, the black man Garitoba suddenly spread his arms, lifted his feet off the ground, and the whole person was suspended in the air.

This scene made Badou stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but shout "What the hell?!" He never thought that he would witness such a miracle with his own eyes.

Hanging in the air, Caritoba smiled broadly. He looked down at Croton from above, his tone full of confidence: "Now, can you tell me what problem you are going to deal with?"

Only then did Badou come back to his senses from his shock. He took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, then smiled and responded, "Of course, of course!" He knew very well that the mysterious person in front of him might be his last hope.

So, he told Caritoba everything about the problems he had encountered and the threats posed by the guy named Lufa without reservation.

......

As the morning sun had just spread across the earth, Xu Tingfei quickly completed his daily washing and dressing, and then hurriedly left Huanhuan Teppanyaki.

He walked straight to the eye-catching red sports car parked outside the store.

However, just as he got into the car and prepared to enjoy a speeding journey, the ringing of his cell phone suddenly broke the peaceful morning.

Xu Tingfei picked up the phone with a slightly unhappy look and answered the call. The voice of a bank employee came from the other end of the phone, bringing an unpleasant news:

"Hello, Mr. Xu. Since your vehicle loan has not been repaid on time, we have communicated with the legal repayer. Now, the legal repayer requires you to return the vehicle to the place of purchase in accordance with the contract."

This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Xu Tingfei. His face instantly turned gloomy, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

This red sports car that he was once proud of has now become a heavy burden on his heart. He suddenly realized that this car no longer brings him the enjoyment of speed and passion, but endless troubles and pressure.

......

Coming to the familiar rooftop again, Badou's mood was different from before.

This time, he arrived in the early morning, when the sun was rising. The black man's figure no longer looked so eerie and terrifying in the morning light.

"Mr. Garitoba, please take a look at this video." Badou pointed to the laptop in his hand. The screen played the surveillance footage he recorded in the secret room. The ancient clothes in the video were particularly eye-catching.

"This dress is the one worn by the Dark Messenger, right?" Badou asked nervously and anxiously.

"Yes, this is it." Caritoba nodded, staring deeply at the ancient clothes on the screen.

"I have understood the whole situation." Badou continued, "This dark messenger is almost torturing me crazy. What should I do to get rid of him?"

Garitoba smiled slightly, looking confident: "From this video, it can be seen that the Dark Messenger does have considerable magical power. But to me, these are nothing but child's play. His power is nothing but insignificant dust in my eyes. I can easily subdue him."

Hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Badou's eyes: "That's great! As long as this problem can be solved, I'm willing to pay any price!"

Garitoba nodded slightly: "However, if we want to completely solve this problem, the cost will be very high."

Without hesitation, Badou took out a bag of heavy coins from his pocket: "I said, as long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem for me!" He handed the bag of money to Caritoba firmly.
