After the dragon teeth hit the ground, two bodyguards immediately rushed over.

They quickly unfolded a stretcher and laid Bai Yaxin on top of it.

Soon after, an ambulance parked beside them, and several medical personnel got out of the car to examine Bai Yaxin's injuries.

By this time, Bai Yaxin had regained some clarity and smiled as he watched the various people bustling around him.

He enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by others.

It made him feel important.

Everyone was paying attention to him, caring about him. His every move and word were being taken seriously and acknowledged.

It was different from when he used to live in the slums.

No one would ignore him, disdain him, belittle him, or overlook him anymore.

He was no longer the insignificant flea he used to be.

"Longya, you arrived just in time." (Bai Yaxin)

"Just in time? Oh well, haha~" (Longya)

Bai Yaxin and Longya shared a smile.

If it was another cadre, they would have probably said something like "Sorry for being late."

With Longya, a fearless and carefree individual, whatever task he handled seemed effortless.

Even if he messed up and caused a catastrophe, he could just laugh it off.

Blaming him was futile, for his thick skin indicated that no matter what one said, it wouldn't faze him.

Some say he's like a dead tree, unable to be carved; others say he's like mud, hopeless and of no use. These phrases all describe him.

Yet, this same man had top-tier physical fitness, extensive experience, extraordinary wisdom, decisiveness, and action-taking abilities that were truly impressive. Watching him work instilled a sense of indescribable reassurance in others.

In this world, Longya was probably the only oddball like him.

And it just so happened that Bai Yaxin had encountered him.

Only a "special" talent scout like Bai Yaxin could discover such a prodigy.

"The tricky person Zaxi Duoji encountered, have you dealt with them already?" (Bai Yaxin)

"Who are they, what's their background?" (Bai Yaxin)

Bai Yaxin asked about Longya's status as he received treatment.

Previously, Kumo had reported that Zaxi Duoji was in a difficult battle, prompting Bai Yaxin to ask Longya for assistance. However, there had not been any further reports since then.

Longya, upon hearing Bai Yaxin's questions, seemed puzzled and clueless about what Bai Yaxin was talking about.

After a few seconds, he snapped his fingers, finally understanding.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot!" (Longya)

Longya burst into laughter.

"I'll go check it out right now!" (Longya)

Saying so, Longya turned to leave.

Bai Yaxin estimated it had been nearly twenty minutes since their earlier conversation.

The outcome was probably decided by now. It was pointless to go at this moment.

Either Zaxi Duoji was dead, or victorious Zaxi Duoji would be brought back.

"No need, come with me to the hospital." (Bai Yaxin)

Bai Yaxin cared more about his own safety than the lives of his subordinates.

He had already faced enough danger today and had almost lost his life. He couldn't afford any more trouble.

At that moment, having Longya by his side was the most suitable option.

Whether the "tricky enemy" killed Zaxi Duoji or not was inconsequential. After all, the Second City was destined to be destroyed, with a couple more bodies making no difference.

"Huh? Isn't it important to check on the situation over there?" (Longya)

Longya widened his eyes.

"It's alright, we must trust in Zaxi Duoji's strength." (Bai Yaxin)

"Let's go to the hospital." (Bai Yaxin)

Bai Yaxin nonchalantly redirected the conversation.

As the leader of the organization, he couldn't afford to show his anxiety, especially in front of his subordinates.

"Mr. Bai really knows how to use people." (Longya)

"Am I also trusted by Mr. Bai like Zaxi Duoji?" (Longya)

"Of course." (Bai Yaxin)

"You are my most capable Longya." (Bai Yaxin)

"Many times, just mentioning your name solves the problem." (Bai Yaxin)

"Then you better give me a raise, Mr. Bai." (Longya)

"Haha, of course, look forward to it." (Bai Yaxin)

While the two conversed, Bai Yaxin was already being lifted onto the ambulance by the medical staff.

"Mr. Longya, aren't you coming up as well?" (Medical staff)

Before departing, Longya glanced at the layout inside the ambulance and chose not to get in with the rest.

"I'll come with you, but I'm not getting in the vehicle." (Longya)

The medical staff didn't understand Longya's intentions, and without explaining, Longya leaped up high in place, then supported himself on the ambulance's roof with his hands and effortlessly hopped up, seating himself on top of the vehicle.

"I'll sit here for a better view." (Longya)

"I can't protect Mr. Bai if I'm inside the ambulance and can't see outside." (Longya)

Longya said with a mischievous smile.

The medical staff were astonished by his incredible jumping abilities and agility.

They had only witnessed such physical prowess at the Olympics or international championships.

"But, but, Mr. Longya, it's too dangerous to sit on the rooftop!" (Medical staff)

After being dumbfounded for a while, the medical staff attempted to persuade Longya to come down and get back inside.

"It's alright, leave him be. Let's go." (Bai Yaxin)

Bai Yaxin stopped the medical staff from intervening.

"He's Longya, he could sit on the wing of a plane if needed." (Bai Yaxin)

Finally, Bai Yaxin added, "Alright then." (Medical staff)

"If anything happens, we won't be held responsible." (Medical staff)

Sitting on top of an ambulance while it was moving was a blatant insult to the medical profession.

But they couldn't afford to offend Bai Yaxin, the one who had given the order.

Hence, the medical staff cursed silently in their hearts, started the ambulance's engine after failing to understand Longya's actions.

However, even after the engine roared for a while, the vehicle remained stationary.

As Bai Yaxin wondered, he could hear the driver in the front cursing loudly.

"Hey! Can't you hear me telling you to move?" (Driver)

"Hurry up and move!" (Driver)

The driver's irritable tone cast a shadow of annoyance over everyone present.

The spread of negative energy always multiplied at a geometric rate.

Frowning, Bai Yaxin inquired of the medical staff nearby, "Hey, what's going on?"

"It seems there's a young man inexplicably standing in front of the ambulance. I'll go down and check." (Medical staff)

A young man?

Bai Yaxin had a foreboding sense of unease.

Uesugi Chongzong?

Impossible.

That guy must still be trapped in the castle, unable to come out.

Even if he did come out, he was virtually half-dead, posing no threat.

Yet, as Bai Yaxin's worry grew, he heard a strange sound, and the vehicle seemed to tilt off balance.

Swiftly, Bai Yaxin removed the infusion tube from his hand, climbed out of the bed, grabbed his cane, pushed the door open, and stepped out of the vehicle.

He noticed that an arrow had pierced the ambulance's right front tire, causing it to deflate and lean to the right front side.

Standing not far ahead of the ambulance was a young man.

This young man looked very familiar to Bai Yaxin...

Then, it dawned on him.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Bai, what a coincidence, how come you're here?" (???)

"Yes, what a chance encounter, Mr. Seiya Mayu." (Bai Yaxin)

The young man blocking the ambulance was Seiya Mayu.

He was the top bartender at the R.E.L.A.X brothel.

Bai Yaxin had once invited him to become the branch manager, but Seiya had politely declined.

Now, Seiya Mayu stood there in casual attire, a long-sleeved white T-shirt, jeans, holding a Hoyt Special Carbon Fiber Compound Bow in his hand, with a quiver strapped to his thigh. To any passerby, he would appear like an ordinary tourist.

Bai Yaxin recognized the Hoyt Special Carbon Fiber Compound Bow as Zaxi Duoji's preferred weapon.

For this bow to be in Seiya Mayu's possession meant Zaxi Duoji had been defeated by him.

According to Bai Yaxin's understanding of Zaxi Duoji, he would never escape or surrender.

Yet, the sense of unease lingering in Bai Yaxin's chest intensified.

After years in society, a sixth sense-like feeling developed.

It didn't occur often, but when it did, it was usually accurate.

Soon after, a peculiar noise echoed, and the entire vehicle seemed to tip sideways.

Bai Yaxin immediately removed the IV from his hand, got out of the bed, using a cane for support, pushed open the door, and exited the ambulance.

He saw that an arrow had struck the right front wheel of the ambulance, causing it to deflate and lean to one side.

Standing about ten meters ahead of the ambulance was a young man.

This young man seemed familiar to Bai Yaxin...

And then, it clicked.

"Well, if it isn't Mr. Bai, what a coincidence. What brings you here?" (???)

"Yes, what a fortunate meeting, Mr. Seiya Mayu." (Bai Yaxin)

The young man blocking the ambulance was Seiya Mayu, the ace bartender at the R.E.L.A.X gentleman's club.

Bai Yaxin had previously invited him to become the manager of a branch, but Seiya had declined politely.

Now, Seiya Mayu stood there in a casual ensemble of a long-sleeved white T-shirt and jeans, holding a Hoyt Special Carbon Fiber Compound Bow, with a quiver strapped to his thigh. To any onlooker, he would seem like an ordinary tourist.

Bai Yaxin recognized the Hoyt Special Carbon Fiber Compound Bow as Zaxi Duoji's preferred weapon.

For this bow to be in Seiya Mayu's hands meant that Zaxi Duoji had succumbed to Seiya Mayu.

Given Bai Yaxin's knowledge of Zaxi Duoji, he was not one to flee or surrender.

In other words, Zaxi Dorje was completely defeated by Xingye Riyang.

"This bartender is unexpectedly skilled, isn't he?"

"No, that's not the point."

"Why has Xingye Riyang become my enemy?"

"Well, Xingye Riyang, Souma Rei, and Mizuhalinfan all worked at the same branch, with their start dates only a month or two apart..."

Bai Yaxin frowned.

"I have really been too careless lately."

"I have so many enemies around me, yet I only realized it when someone held a knife to my neck. How laughable."

Bai Yaxin took a few steps closer to Xingye Riyang with his cane, stealing a glance at the ambulance's rooftop. Logically, with Longya here, it wouldn't be easy for someone to damage the vehicle so easily.

After seeing the condition of the ambulance's rooftop, Bai Yaxin sighed deeply.

"Why the sigh, Mr. Bai?" (Xingye Riyang)

Xingye Riyang drew another arrow and placed it on the bowstring of his composite bow.

"I sigh because my luck isn't good today. In your young people's words, I'm probably having a 'Mercury retrograde'." (Bai Yaxin)

Bai Yaxin chuckled bitterly.

The reason he was actually sighing was that Longya was sleeping on top of the ambulance.

"He can fall asleep in just a few minutes, damn amazing."

Bai Yaxin mentally cursed Longya's ancestors eighteen generations back, in a particularly friendly manner.
