"Come in." The doting expression on Jiang Beiwang's face instantly disappeared, replaced by the imposing aura of a superior, creating a powerful psychological pressure on others.
The head bodyguard walked up to Jiang Beiwang, stood with his head lowered, and said, "Boss, sorry, we let that woman escape."
"Hmm? Useless, a bunch of useless people, can't even catch a single woman." Jiang Beiwang clenched his fist and scolded harshly.
Facing the boss's anger, several bodyguards lowered their heads even more, not daring to speak.
"Boss, it was a superman who saved that woman," the head bodyguard said.
Jiang Beiwang frowned slightly, "Hmm? You encountered a superman?"
"It was an Asian superman, likely a Huaxia person, but he seemed to have no connection with that woman," the head bodyguard said.
Jiang Beiwang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I don't care what method you use, search the whole city to find that woman, and immediately spread the word that I, Jiang Beiwang, am willing to pay a trillion for a leaf from the Divine Tree."
Hearing Jiang Beiwang's words, the bodyguards were stunned for a moment. A trillion would drive anyone mad, and it's almost all of Jiang Beiwang's assets.
"Yes, boss." The head bodyguard nodded and immediately turned to walk outside.
"Dad..." Jiang Roujin looked at her father, her clean eyes misty.
Though Jiang Beiwang was a top tycoon in the Chinese circle in Brazil, a trillion was still not a small amount for him, approximately his entire fortune.
"Your mother was also assassinated because of me back then. Today, I, Jiang Beiwang, will never allow the same thing to happen to you. If the kingdom I've built cannot protect my loved ones, what is it worth?" Jiang Beiwang said in a deep voice.
"Dad..." Jiang Roujin, with reddened eyes, rushed into Jiang Beiwang's arms.
"You are still young, in your prime, your life has just begun, and I absolutely won't allow you to leave me," Jiang Beiwang said softly, gently stroking his daughter's head.
The dominance in Jiang Beiwang's eyes slightly waned, finally filled with a tender indulgence for his daughter. He thought to himself, "With a great reward, come brave people. The trillion bounty can surely find a leaf of the Divine Tree through skilled help."
...
In the hotel.
Lin Mo looked at the Starlight accumulating in the entire dark dantian, like a nebula appearing in the endless Universe. At the center of this nebula, it was as if there was a vortex constantly absorbing nearby Starlight, collecting and then condensing.
This was the process of condensing the Power of the Sixth Star, with endless Starlight being absorbed into the vortex, which was like a bottomless abyss.
Lin Mo was utterly frustrated, having absorbed a full 300,000 Starlight, and still not feeling the Star Power beginning to condense. "Am I really so unlucky, needing to consume a full million Starlight to condense the Power of the Sixth Star?"
Lin Mo controlled the Space Ring with his Divine Thought, constantly letting the Starlight pour into his dantian, eventually sending a full million Starlight into the dantian, densely packed, the nebula brilliant.
In the distant sky, the Dawn Light peeled away the darkness covering the earth.
A ray of sunlight streamed through the window, forming a beam that fell on Lin Mo's handsome face. He opened his eyes, stretched his limbs, twisted his neck, and a trace of helplessness appeared at the corner of his mouth, "It was just as I guessed, absorbing a full million Starlight. If I want to condense the Power of the Seventh Star, won't I have to consume a full ten million Starlight?"
Thinking of this, Lin Mo suddenly felt a headache.
"Mr. Lin."
Floating in the void, Zhen Yuanzi saw Lin Mo awakening and spoke, "Mr. Lin, why was your condensing of the Power of the Sixth Star so fast this time?"
"I haven't condensed it yet. However, the Power of the Sixth Star is condensing on its own in the dantian, probably taking three to four months," Lin Mo said. This time the condensing of Star Power was different from the previous times when Lin Mo would go into seclusion to wholly concentrate on it. This time, perhaps because his meridians and body had been altered by the Heavenly Secret Silver, even without deliberate control, his body could accommodate a million Starlight, and this Starlight
could automatically start condensing Star Power within the dantian.
Of course, if Lin Mo put his whole heart into condensing the Power of the Sixth Star, the speed would indeed increase several times, and it could be condensed within a month, but Lin Mo didn't want to waste time as he was in South America for the legendary Divine Tree.
"I see." Zhen Yuanzi nodded, relieved, and then smiled, "Mr. Lin, there's an interesting thing I want to tell you."
"Oh? What is it?"
Lin Mo looked at Zhen Yuanzi, puzzled.
"That woman from last night is now in the hotel," Zhen Yuanzi said with a smile.
During Lin Mo's seclusion, Zhen Yuanzi naturally acted as protector, letting his Divine Sense encompass the entire hotel, even within a ten-kilometer radius. Nothing escaped his exploration.
Lin Mo immediately recalled that when he first arrived in Rio yesterday, he had indeed encountered a woman on the street, who had even used him as a shield.
"Meng Die?" Lin Mo recalled what the woman said yesterday and immediately expanded his Divine Sense, quickly sweeping across the entire hotel and instantly finding that the woman was now in a hotel room on the twentieth floor.
In a spacious and bright hotel room, a fashionably dressed woman with red-dyed hair was lying on the white bed, looking at the ceiling, suddenly laughing to herself.
"Those fools, they really think I know where Meng Die of the Divine Tree is? So silly, but I did make quite a bit of money with this information,"
The woman grinned broadly.
Now, Lin Mo finally saw the woman's appearance. She looked above average, about 25 or 26 years old, had Asian features, and spoke Dragon Language, clearly a Huaxia person.
Under the brief scan of Divine Sense, Lin Mo observed the woman's every move in the room from a God's Eye View, like a Divine.
The woman suddenly flipped up from the bed, walked to the side to open the computer, and her fingers flew over the keyboard. Soon, green codes flowed down like a waterfall, revealing a specially encrypted webpage.
"Damn, Jiang Beiwang is really crazy, offering a trillion?" The woman clicked on the announcement on the webpage, her mouth immediately gaping in disbelief.
"I need to leave here quickly, or if he catches me, he'll throw me into the sea to feed sharks." The woman shivered all over, trembling with a chill.
Click!
While she was focused on the computer, the sound of a door opening suddenly reached her ears.
In the hotel, a service person generally wouldn't open a guest's room door unrequested, so sitting at the computer, the woman stomped her foot against the wall, sliding back on the swivel chair to the bed, swiftly pulled a gun from a black bag, and aimed it at the door connecting to the living room.
"Who's there? Don't move, or I'll shoot."
The woman said cautiously.
Yet, the footsteps didn't stop, continuing to draw closer, the sound becoming clearer.
"I'm telling you, I can kill you. Don't come near me..."
The woman, clutching the gun tightly, continued, her face tense, revealing signs of anxiety.
