One early morning, Ma Rufei received a phone call from Manager Pan of the sauna department at Fuhao Hotel, who told him that a peerless beauty had just arrived and invited him to come check her out.

Ma Rufei was overjoyed and couldn't wait. He hastily ate breakfast and drove to Fuhao Hotel.

His good buddy, Chen Chaoyue, had of course already returned to Capital City, so he had to go alone.

As soon as he entered the sauna department, a particularly seductive Pan Panpan came to welcome him.

Ma Rufei pulled her into his arms and fondled her for a moment before eagerly asking, "Where's the new beauty?"

"She's waiting for you in the room," Pan Panpan said coquettishly, leading Ma Rufei inside.

Then, Ma Rufei froze like a fool. There was no beauty in the room at all; instead, there were four burly men, all with sly smiles on their faces.

"Pan Panpan, you dare to trick me? Are you tired of living?"

Ma Rufei's expression changed drastically. He tried to retreat, but it was too late. One of the men had already closed the door and was blocking his way.

Pan Panpan suddenly jabbed several points on Ma Rufei's body.

Ma Rufei was instantly paralyzed.

His eyes nearly popped out of his head as he stared at Pan Panpan as if she were a monster. "You… you… you're a Cultivator? No, that's not right. You're not Pan Panpan."

A faint smile appeared on the manager's face. "Correct. You actually realized I'm not Pan Panpan. However, since you took advantage of me just now, I'll reward you with a slap."

With that, she viciously slapped Ma Rufei across the face, sending his head reeling.

"Who are you people? How dare you hit me?" Ma Rufei's face contorted with anger, his eyes shooting out a cold light.

"You don't need to know who we are. We won't hurt you," the woman said flatly.

They then had him sit on a couch.

First, they gave Ma Rufei an injection, infusing him with an unknown liquid. Then, the leader of the four men took out a glass sphere and began waving it in front of Ma Rufei's face while uttering strange sounds, clearly hypnotizing him.

If Zhang Bin were here, he would undoubtedly recognize the man as Tan Yonghao, the leader of the Special Abilities Group. This was the Special Action Team's Special Abilities Group dealing with Ma Rufei.

Ma Rufei's spiritual power was very strong, but under the influence of the drug, he couldn't hold out. His expression quickly turned blank before he was successfully hypnotized.

Tan Yonghao began his inquiry. "Ma Rufei, you and Chen Chaoyue went to the Island Nation to attend the Hero Auction because of Zhang Bin. But since Zhang Bin wasn't allowed to leave the country, how did you still manage to go?"

"Because my master crossed the sea to get to the Island Nation. He arrived the same night, at almost the exact same time as us," Ma Rufei answered blankly.

"Crossed the sea? Holy shit, that's incredible."

The members of the Special Abilities Group looked at each other in shock.

Tan Yonghao continued his questions. "Tell us everything that happened in the Island Nation."

Under hypnosis and unable to control himself, Ma Rufei dazedly recounted all the events that had taken place. It was truly a heart-stopping journey full of twists, thrills, magic, and oddities, during which Zhang Bin displayed terrifying abilities.

"My god, Zhang Bin is that powerful? He killed two Initial Stage of Gold Core Cultivators from the Island Nation? This is a massive deal. He also has unbelievably incredible Gambling Skills and even possesses a Middle-Grade Flying Sword. He has mastered two Special Abilities—Aerial Capture and the Wall-Piercing Ability. He can even command beasts. On top of all that, he has cultivated to the Initial Liquid Realm. This is a young man with a limitless future." Everyone was completely and utterly shocked.

Only now did they truly understand some of Zhang Bin's true strength. He wasn't some pushover farmer but a slumbering giant dragon.

No wonder he dares to detain Old He. He's got quite a backbone, Tan Yonghao marveled inwardly.

Their Special Abilities Group operated as a single unit; they would never send just one person to carry out a mission. They all worked in support of He Banxian. Now that He Banxian had entered Zhang Bin's territory, all contact was lost. No news had emerged, and there wasn't even a glimpse of him.

They had no choice but to take other measures: luring Ma Rufei and using hypnosis to obtain the intelligence they needed. Now, they could consider their mission successfully completed. However, the intelligence they gathered was so startling that it left them all stunned.

They immediately began to manage the aftermath, hypnotizing Ma Rufei again to make him forget everything that had just happened.

Thus, when Ma Rufei awoke, he found himself lying on a luxurious bed with a devastatingly beautiful woman nestled in his arms. He vaguely remembered that he had come to patronize this beauty, who was indeed very pretty and to his liking. She had given him an experience fit for an emperor.

Meanwhile, this important piece of intelligence was encrypted and swiftly sent to Capital City.

「Capital City, Biotech Base.」

Inside an underground chamber, Hanbing Yun sat on a sofa, with Luo Chengliang sitting opposite her.

Her face was a mask of ice, her eyes blazing with fury. "Zhang Bin harbors state secrets, yet he dared to leave the country. He has committed a serious, unforgivable crime. Luo Chengliang, how exactly does your Special Action Team operate? Was there no way to stop him?"

"Zhang Bin possesses incredible Divine Skills. He can even control Demon Beasts to cross the ocean, and he has a Middle-Grade Flying Sword. He can unexpectedly kill a Gold Core Realm Initial Stage Cultivator. Even when his heart was pierced by a Flying Sword, he didn't die. Stopping him from leaving the country is almost impossible," Luo Chengliang said cautiously. "Doctor Han, Zhang Bin isn't the type to leak state secrets. Please don't be so harsh on him."

BAM!

Hanbing Yun slammed her hand on the table and said sternly, "He carries the greatest secret of genetically enhanced humans. Even if he won't leak it voluntarily, that won't stop powerful enemies from targeting him. This time, he left for the Island Nation without approval and was targeted by the powerful Tanikawa. If he had fallen into Tanikawa's hands, could he have kept any secrets? An expert like Tanikawa possesses the Soul Search ability. Combined with special drugs, hypnosis could also reveal all the secrets he holds. That would put our country in extreme danger."

Luo Chengliang's face went pale. At that moment, he was powerless to defend Zhang Bin. What Hanbing Yun said was fact, and her concerns were entirely reasonable. This time, Zhang Bin was just lucky to have escaped Tanikawa's pursuit.

Otherwise, not only would he have fallen into a state of inescapable doom, but he would have also endangered the entire nation.

An icy sneer appeared on Hanbing Yun's face. "Besides," she said, "haven't you discovered another of Zhang Bin's great secrets from this intelligence?"
