Chapter 2: The Aftermath of Getting Something for Nothing
The Underworld King Has Been Released!
Upon hearing the news, the official warlords of every country immediately texted the warden:
“Where is the Underworld King headed now?”
This was their greatest concern!
To them, the Underworld King's release was like the grim reaper walking incognito among mortals—wherever he went, death, fear, and chaos followed.
But as long as they knew his destination, they could make preparations in advance.
The warden’s reply was: “I don’t know!”
Those two words sent the global warlords into near panic, their nerves stretched taut as they struggled to hold themselves together.
They immediately ordered the relevant departments to gather all incoming records and security footage from every city for the next three days, delivering them to the warlords’ offices for personal scrutiny.
No other eyes but theirs had seen the Underworld King’s true face; even if others had glimpsed him, they wouldn’t recognize him.
While the warlords worldwide were anxiously immobilized by the uncertainty, a vast number of operatives from the world’s most secretive underground organization, Hell’s Gate, were covertly dispatched to China in groups.
At the same time, all Hell’s Gate intelligence agents across Chinese cities were awakened from their dormant silence…

Outside Pengcheng Airport—
Lin Xi wore a tight black tank top, black pants, black leather boots, and dark sunglasses. She was addressing a group of fifteen bodyguards dressed similarly:
“Listen carefully. When that man comes out of the airport, only hit him when I say to. Don’t aim for vital spots—go for the fleshy areas, like the buttocks. Hit hard, got it?”
“Got it!”
The fifteen bodyguards responded in unison.
Lin Xi nodded and stared toward the airport exit, her heart burning with fury.
“Hmph, if you want to marry me, you’ll be bedridden for three months first!”
She was genuinely angry.
Her grandfather, Lin Tai, had inexplicably forced her into marrying a stranger she had never met, whose name and occupation were unknown.
She was the proud eldest daughter of the Lin family—marriage was no trivial matter!
So she devised a plan: beat the fiancé to delay the wedding. While she couldn’t change her grandfather’s decision, she could certainly postpone it.
She resolved to first send her fiancé to the hospital with bruises and continue the beating after his discharge until he begged off the engagement.
A woman must be ruthless!
Suddenly, Lin Xi spotted Ye Huan stepping out of the airport with a backpack. Behind him was a stunning woman pushing two enormous suitcases.
Ignoring the woman, Lin Xi’s sharp eyes locked onto Ye Huan.
“That’s him!”
“Yes, it’s definitely him!”
She recognized him immediately—the man who had taken advantage of her, handed her five hundred yuan, and left without a word. She could recognize him even if he turned to dust!
In that instant, five years of pent-up rage erupted like a volcano in her mind, overwhelming her reason.
“You despicable scoundrel, itI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
