"What should we do with these three people?"

Jiang Li pointed to the three bound individuals not far away and said, "My suggestion is to eliminate the potential trouble."

"I agree. If we let them go and her sister finds out about our actions, it will undoubtedly cause trouble," echoed A Jie.

"I support Brother Chen Xiang's point of view," added Ai Lin, nodding her head. If it were the old her, she might have been somewhat resistant to such matters, but her experiences over the past year had made her inner self resolute and brave.

"Alright, let's prepare to head back."

After making the decision, the group approached the unconscious Roland and the others.

"Who will do it? Should I do it, or will you?"

"I'll do it!" Ai Lin took the long sword from A Wei's hand. Her face, usually full of smiles, now displayed complex emotions, a mix of reminiscence and resentment.

"Don't blame me, Roland. All of this is the consequence of your sisters' actions."

The last trace of compassion vanished from Ai Lin's delicate face.

Swish—

The long sword fiercely pierced down, the blade penetrating Roland's chest and piercing through his heart.

Roland let out a muffled groan, and then there was no more movement. His soul had departed.

Jiang Li silently nodded. From this moment on, all of Ai Lin's innocence and naivety had vanished, replaced by a powerful soul driven by the flames of revenge, just like his own.

The previous Ai Lin might have been more adorable, but the current Ai Lin was undoubtedly more powerful.

After dealing with the two henchmen, the group set off on their way back.

Two days later, under Ai Lin's leadership, Jiang Li saw the alloy walls of Meng City, similar in appearance to those of Jianghua City, towering and seemingly endless, casting a shadow over everything. Every twenty meters, there was a small gate guarded by people.

Even if Roli were as divine as she claimed to be, she could not possibly know which entrance of Meng City Ai Lin and the others would use to return to the city. Even if she did, Jiang Li might not necessarily fear her.

Upon entering the city, Jiang Li's phone finally had a signal.

"Wait for me, I'll make a call."

Jiang Li walked to the side and immediately dialed his sister Jiang Linger's number.

The call was answered after just one ring.

"Brother!?" The voice on the other end of the phone was excited but tinged with fear.

"It's me. I'm sorry for making you worry," Jiang Li said, feeling both heartbroken and angry as he listened to his sister's voice.

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Linger sobbed softly, "Ming... You said you'd be back home soon, but suddenly I couldn't reach you... Even your teacher said you were missing. I thought... I thought you wouldn't be able to come back like Mom and Dad..."

Listening to his sister's sobbing, Jiang Li fell silent for a moment, his anger growing stronger and more intense.

Watching Jiang Li from a distance, Ai Lin and the others couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable fear.

The current Chen Xiang... is so terrifying...

"It's my fault. I'm safe now, don't worry. It won't be long before I come back," Jiang Li reassured his sister.

"Okay, make sure to stay safe, take care of yourself, and wait for me to come back."

After finally calming his sister's emotions, Jiang Li steadied his own mindset.

Returning to Ai Lin and the others, and seeing their somewhat apprehensive expressions, Jiang Li smiled helplessly and said, "Did I scare you?"

A Wei and A Jie nodded at first, then vigorously shook their heads, causing Jiang Li to burst into laughter.

"Alright, let's go. I need to sell some things to the mercenary group."

"Brother Chen Xiang is a member of the mercenary organization?" Ai Lin blinked her eyes.

The mercenary group was a large organization of abilities, known for its loose constraints, with branches in every city. Naturally, Ai Lin and the others were aware of this renowned organization.

"I suppose so," Jiang Li gave a vague answer. He was only a Level 1 mercenary, barely considered an peripheral member.

Half an hour later, the group arrived at the mercenary office building, with Ai Lin and the others doing a simple disguise along the way to avoid being recognized.

Meng City, being a city near the front lines, had nearly half of its population not being abilities. Here, almost everyone exuded a powerful aura, and individuals below the mid-level Transcendent were rarely seen.

This was the true difference between warriors and hothouse flowers. Jiang Li marveled at this as they entered the trading area on the third floor.

As they stepped out of the elevator, a graceful woman in her thirties, with a slender figure, approached them.

"Are you here to buy or sell items?" she asked with a smile.

Dressed in a shoulder-baring qipao, her snow-white legs were as translucent as jade. Her eyes sparkled with tenderness, causing A Jie and A Wei to feel a bit parched, a protective instinct arising within them.

However, Jiang Li's mind was filled with thoughts of revenge, and the woman held no allure for him. He coldly replied, "We're here to sell, and it's an extremely valuable item."

The woman quickly realized that Jiang Li was the leader of the group and couldn't help but be shocked. The handsome young man in front of her looked like he was under twenty, yet he could resist her seductive charm.

The woman put away her coquettishness and asked seriously, "Please follow me."

Jiang Li and the others followed the woman into a secluded room.

"What are you looking to sell?" the woman asked with a smile.

Since it was said to be an extremely valuable item, its value must be over a million. If she could facilitate the transaction for such an item, the commission alone would be substantial, making her very happy.

Jiang Li reached into his pocket and pretended to take out the item, but in reality, he took out a vial of gene-enhancing potion given to him by Wang Ye.

"I want to sell this," Jiang Li placed the small bottle of pale red potion on the table.

"Rage Potion?" The woman took the potion and carefully examined it. In her knowledge, this color of potion was not common.

The most common one was the Rage Potion, which could significantly enhance the blood and energy of a Transcendent ability user in a short period of time. However, after use, there would be about two weeks of weakness. The buyback price was 1.2 million.

Then there was the Essence Potion, which was much more precious, stimulating human potential and increasing the speed of ability cultivation within six months. It was an item used by many prominent family descendants and was worth over 8 million.

As for the most expensive, it was the legendary Gene-Enhancing Potion. However, such a thing was rare and precious. In her ten years in this line of work, she had only seen one.

If given to the right person, one dose of this potion almost represented the emergence of a new Saint in the human camp, and its value was unimaginable.

Jiang Li shook his head slowly and said, "This is not a Rage Potion."

"This is a Gene-Enhancing Potion."
