"However, I am not entirely satisfied with your approach!" Ling Feng said earnestly, "Catherine, I know there are certainly other forces conducting genetic experiments in this Underworld, and surely there must be others like me enduring this inhuman torture and agony! But none of this gives me any reason to tolerate such behavior existing!"

Ling Feng extended his hand, holding Catherine's waist as he said, "Catherine, in my view, genetic experiments are things that fundamentally shouldn't exist in this world. I can't control other forces, but here, I won't allow anything related to Divine Gate to spread out. Can you understand me?"

Catherine leaned against Ling Feng's chest, nodding slightly, "I understand, I understand what you mean! Since you've said this, everything will proceed as you say!"

Ling Feng sighed in relief; he was genuinely worried Catherine might oppose him.

Ling Feng flicked his hand, and all the documents related to genetic experiments on the table crumbled into ashes, dissipating bit by bit into the air, leaving not a trace behind.

"Catherine, don't worry, as long as I'm here, I'll find out who's on the other side!" Ling Feng declared dominantly, "If they dare reach out, I will sever their claws!"

"I believe in you!" Catherine's eyes glimmered with tenderness.

Ling Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Shifting the development of Divine Gate requires substantial funds. How do you plan to handle this?"

Catherine said calmly, "We'll have to liquidate some assets outside Divine Gate and hope to raise sufficient funds."

Ling Feng gave a mysterious smile, "Follow me to the basement; I have something good to show you. As for the funding issue, you don't need to worry anymore!"

Saying this, Ling Feng took Catherine's hand and led her to the basement. This room's basement used to be Mad Doctor's lab, but after Ling Feng destroyed it, it became nothing more than a storage space for sundries.

"What do you want me to see here?" Catherine, puzzled, said, "This place is full of random clutter, isn't it? Is it possible…"

Suddenly, Catherine's face turned red, her gaze rippling as she glanced at Ling Feng, "Hmph, didn't expect you're into this kind of setup now. Which little sister taught you that?"

Ling Feng was somewhat confused by Catherine's words and didn't understand why she suddenly blushed. Could the basement be too hot?

"Catherine, close your eyes!" Ling Feng, choosing not to question her further, spoke with a hint of mystery.

Catherine gently closed her eyes, her heartbeat accelerating.

A man and a woman alone in a closed basement—Catherine had already prepared herself for Ling Feng to ruthlessly take her right there!

But the scenario she anxiously anticipated did not occur. A moment later, she heard Ling Feng's voice, "Alright, you can open your eyes now!"

"So it's not what I thought!" Catherine felt a mix of disappointment and embarrassment. Thankfully, she hadn't made her thoughts too obvious earlier; otherwise, how mortifying would that have been?

But when Catherine opened her eyes, she could hardly believe what lay before her!

"The Statue of Victory, Venus de Milo, The Last Supper… Good heavens, Ling Feng, where did you get all these replicas? And where were they hidden before?" Catherine naturally didn't expect that what appeared before her were real artifacts.

Ling Feng's forehead furrowed slightly, "With my status, do you think I'd produce a heap of replicas? Are you joking with me?"

Catherine pointed at the objects in front of her, "Are you saying… these are the real deal? How's that possible! All of these are treasures of the Louvre!"

"Of course they're real!" Ling Feng chuckled mischievously, his tone tinged with pride, as he explained the story behind it to Catherine.

"Just like that, I collected these items. Even now, the Rose Squad still believes it was the Freedom Organization that somehow stole the Louvre's prized treasures!" Ling Feng laughed triumphantly, "Selling these items would surely make more than those lab files, wouldn't it?"

Catherine froze, "What? You mean… all these are for me?"

Ling Feng responded matter-of-factly, "Naturally! Keeping these things doesn't benefit me. Giving them to you will help us solve our urgent funding crisis!"

Catherine stared blankly at the numerous treasures—over a hundred of them. If converted to money, the sum would be unimaginable! Each artifact here was priceless.

"Ling Feng, you're so good to me!" Catherine threw herself into Ling Feng's arms and kissed him passionately.

These treasures might be priceless, but they weren't what truly stunned Catherine! What made her so emotional was Ling Feng's attitude!

For her and for Divine Gate, Ling Feng brought out all these irreplaceable treasures without hesitation—didn't this speak volumes about her place in his heart?

Faced with Catherine's fervor, Ling Feng naturally responded with equal passion.

Soon, Ling Feng swept Catherine into his arms with a mischievous smile, "Babe, you've lit my fire—now you have to put it out!"

Catherine licked her rosy lips, her gaze seductive, "Come on, I'm just afraid your fire isn't burning hot enough!"

Daring to challenge him, Ling Feng didn't waste any words. He carried Catherine straight to the bedroom.

Meanwhile, over a hundred priceless treasures were left alone in the basement, as though abandoned like a pile of scrap metal.

Once revered in the Louvre's grand halls, admired and praised by visitors from around the globe, these artifacts now sat neglected. Were they able to speak, they'd surely lament their unfortunate fate.

Following a passionate night, by early morning, Ling Feng awoke to find Catherine curled in his arms, prompting a satisfied grin.

Last night had been a long-awaited release for both of them. Since Ling Feng's return from abroad, it was their first moment of intimacy, and they'd both been deeply immersed, unwilling to yield!

Ultimately, it was Ling Feng's unmatched stamina that triumphed, securing his victory!

After freshening up in the bathroom, Ling Feng saw Catherine dressing, her figure captivatingly curvaceous and breathtaking.

"Why not rest a little longer?" Ling Feng approached and gently embraced Catherine, smirking playfully, "You were begging for mercy constantly last night!"

Catherine rolled her eyes at Ling Feng, "Do you really think I'm some frail little woman? I was humoring your competitive streak yesterday, that's all!"

Ling Feng chuckled softly, completely unaffected by Catherine's defiant retort.
