The climbing ivy, lush flowers, grass, and trees in the yard seemed very pleasant.

Someone of Old Mr. Tao's status has retirement homes arranged by the military district in various major places across the country.

The Warrior's car stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

"Mr. Lin, please come in. The old man is waiting for you inside."

The man respectfully opened the car door for Lin Hai and said.

"Not coming in?" Lin Hai asked curiously, seeing that the other party had no intention of following.

"Mr. Lin, the old man specifically instructed that he called you for something important today."

Lin Hai heard this and instantly felt troubled.

Sh*t, every time there's something important, it's definitely a bone-breaking, life-threatening kind of thing.

Just knew that when the old man called me, it wouldn't be good.

"Please come in, Mr. Lin, the old man has been waiting for a long time."

Lin Hai nodded, pushed open the iron gate, and walked in.

... Five minutes later, Lin Hai appeared in the reception room.

The reception room on the second floor has always been decorated in the Chinese classical style.

This is almost the universal reception style for every chief.

The old man slightly sipped his tea, carefully scrutinized Lin Hai, and nodded slightly: "Not bad, you knew to wear a suit to meet me this time, much better than the security uniform last time."

"Hehe, I'm just showing you more respect from the heart." Lin Hai chuckled.

"Cut the act, don't think I don't know, you brat wore a suit to pick up girls at the coffee shop." The old man snorted in annoyance.

Damn, the old man sure is fierce.

After being exposed, someone knowingly felt his skin's thickness could withstand a rocket and indifferently asked, "Old man, what is it this time you called me for?"

"To what level has your strength increased recently?" The old man didn't answer but asked.

"Uh, I can break through to a first-class Supreme Strong at any time." Lin Hai answered truthfully.

"Still barely, but enough to complete this mission."

Hearing the old man's muttering, Lin Hai's heart skipped a beat.

Sh*t, Supreme Strong is just barely? How high is the old man's standard?

What exactly is this mission about?

"Ahem, how have you been treating Xiaxia lately?" The old man's eyes carried interrogation and displeasure.

Damn, Beauty Tao complained to the old man?

Feeling the old man's gaze, Lin Hai kept rubbing his hands, awkwardly smiling: "Old man, what's the mission after all?"

"I tell you, if Xiaxia suffered any grievance, I'll mobilize Huaxia's military district's most elite Kings of Soldiers to deal with you." The old man angrily stomped his cane, making a loud thud.

Lin Hai quickly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and coaxingly said, "Old man, rest assured, Xiaxia is my precious gem. I'm afraid she'll slip through my fingers or melt in my mouth; I can't love her enough. Anyone who dares to bully Xiaxia, I'll be the first to take them down instantly!"

"Hmph, that's more like it. Come sit down, talk, and have some tea."

The old man's expression softened, and he poured a cup of tea for the dead beast.

The dead beast felt as if granted amnesty, took a sip of tea, and flattered: "Tsk tsk, as expected of the old man's tea, delicious!"

"Delicious my ass, I bought this brick tea from the vegetable market yesterday."

"Pfft—"

Lin Hai almost choked, unable to swallow the tea.

"Let's talk business, listen carefully." The old man snorted, having spent a lifetime struggling and maneuvering in the worldly society, what flattering words had he not heard before? He had long trained his mind to be as steadfast as a rock.

"Ever heard of the Dragon Abyss?" The old man asked.

Dragon Abyss?

Lin Hai blinked.

It seemed vaguely familiar.

"There's another name, known to outsiders as the Heavenly Prison."

Lin Hai instantly became restless.

Heavenly Prison he knows, he knows all too well.

If it hadn't been for slipping abroad in time, sh*t, he might very well be in the Heavenly Prison now, picking up soap or something like that.

It's said that place is not for humans.

Moreover, the treatment there seems quite nice, with exclusive rooms for inmates, the standard being sixty square meters, bigger than an office level of a government division, fully equipped with all lifestyle facilities, including three meals a day, breakfast with milk and fruits, lunch with four dishes and one soup, and periodic health and massage service every month.

It's even rumored to have an erotic massage parlor and a small supermarket inside.

Basically, whatever's outside, it's all inside.

It's simply not imprisonment but living like a lord.

However, unlike ordinary prisons, it's filled with special prisoners.

How special?

For instance, someone who crazily developed a potion potent enough to poison a city's population.

Or a madman who developed explosives comparable to small nuclear warheads.

There are also people with special skills and abilities.

And some science maniacs, like those wanting to resurrect the dead. Though they haven't succeeded, their understanding of human anatomy is ten to a hundred times more professional than professionals.

In short, it's a madman's paradise.

The patrol guards inside, they say, are all drafted from the Super First-class Expert teams of various military districts.

Once inside the Heavenly Prison, you might as well forget about coming out for the rest of your life and just wear out the prison seats.

"Old man, why are you mentioning that place? I swear I truly haven't bullied Xiaxia." Lin Hai quickly raised his hand to swear to the light.

"You're quite the guesser; I'm planning to send you to the Heavenly Prison." The old man said calmly.

Damn!

Lin Hai's eyes widened in shock.

"Old man, you're setting me up for doom, huh?"

Old Mr. Tao was so mad his mustache twitched furiously, angrily retorting, "You brat, dare speak to me that way, tired of living?"

"You're planning to send me to the Heavenly Prison; that place's basic defenses can't even be broken by a Supreme, and the secondary defenses can easily stump a Legendary level expert, and rumor has it that the most critical core defenses are specifically made for beings beyond the Legendary level."

After saying this, Lin Hai shook his head, wore an extremely sorrowful expression, and gazed forlornly at the sky at a 45-degree angle, muttering, "Xiaxia, after this, I can't accompany you anymore, going to Heavenly Prison is fine, but it hurts you; you'll have to be a widow."

"You bastard, believe it or not, I'll really make sure you never come out!"

Old Mr. Tao was so livid he almost used his cane to poke Lin Hai to death.

"This time, don't think of escaping; you have to go in for a trip, and if you dare try to flee, you won't need to come back to Huaxia ever again."

"Old man, what exactly do you want me to do in there?" Lin Hai blinked furiously, praying for the old man's tremendous mercy.

"Not much, just go in and find two people for me, confirm they're inside, and send me a signal. I'll get you out then." The old man said.

"Who are these people worthy of your attention?" Lin Hai became intrigued.

"One's called Taotie, the other, Netherworld Guest."

"Never heard of them."

Lin Hai shook his head and then recalled something very crucial: "Old man, not even a fly can get in there; how do you expect me to send a signal?"

Old Mr. Tao looked at Lin Hai with contempt and said calmly, "There's an erotic massage parlor inside; can't you bribe a guard? You've gone through the Dark Underground World overseas, and you don't know this trick?"

Damn, old man, what happened to your integrity?!

Lin Hai looked up, and his eyes wildly rolled.
