A faint sound of collision echoed, and Lin Yi and Beatrice seemed to be jolted as if by an electric shock, both stepping back a few paces.
So strong! Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart. Psychic Power had become so common, yet here was someone with such formidable Psychic Power. After exhausting his Psychic Power at the Tiber River and regaining his peak, Lin Yi had only increased his Psychic Power by ten percent. Otherwise, facing Beatrice would have been truly difficult.
"Lin Steward has indeed made rapid progress; no wonder he caught the attention of the Alliance Headquarters!" Beatrice rubbed her temples, her eyes revealing a hint of wariness.
At that moment, Lin Yi was not feeling any better himself. The seemingly invisible clash between them was filled with lethal intent. If their Psychic Powers hadn't been roughly equal and they hadn't held back, the outcome would have been uncertain. However, it was clear that Lin Yi had the upper hand this time. Still, he didn't believe he could easily defeat Beatrice. She resembled a bloodthirsty beast, ready to explode at any moment. Lin Yi could even sense a strong metallic scent in the air, a presence born from countless battles. He had never experienced that; most of the time, he was more "refined" when dealing with zombies. Moreover, the Golden Mercenary Corps was undoubtedly an established mercenary group that had been in fierce combat before; that feeling was entirely different.
"Beatrice is no simple opponent; I wonder if I've passed the test!" Lin Yi now understood that she merely wanted to spar with him.
"This time I won't go all out; we can spar again later!" Beatrice's wrist suddenly glimmered as she pressed a button on her earpiece. Her expression turned unusually respectful before she hastily left after dropping that line.
The Armored Convoy continued to move, and despite their massive size, they traveled quietly on the road, making it seem as if one couldn't perceive their movement from afar.
Lin Yi sighed inwardly, wishing he could possess such power someday so he wouldn't always be threatened or chased by zombies.
"Let's go!" Lin Yi glanced at Nicolas, who looked like he might collapse at any moment, and spoke hoarsely.
...
Nicolas followed Lin Yi back to the hospital, but the situation was somewhat dire. It was then that Lin Yi learned Nicolas was sensitive to light; exposure to bright light rendered him weak and powerless. Fortunately, as long as he consumed enough blood, his recovery speed was quite rapid. Witerson II was in a VIP Ward, making it convenient to obtain enough Blood Bags for Nicolas to recover.
Before long, it became bright outside, but Nicolas still had to hide in a dark corner, too afraid to come out. According to him, everyone in the Holy Clan was like this; otherwise, they wouldn't be hiding away from people. However, once members of the Holy Clan reached a certain peak in strength, they could move freely under sunlight.
Ying Sa hurried over early in the morning with a joyful expression, seemingly having encountered something delightful. Before Lin Yi could speak, Ying Sa bounced over to him.
Suddenly, a sweet fragrance wafted through the air, refreshing Lin Yi completely. He felt her arms wrap around his neck as she leaned close to his face and said softly, "Daddy has a gift for you!"
Upon hearing this from his future father-in-law Bruh, Lin Yi felt his heart begin to race again. He could now confirm Ying Sa's feelings for him; he genuinely liked this girl too. However, whenever he thought of Li Qiweng, he couldn't shake off her significant place in his heart. Lin Yi didn't consider himself decisive in such matters and found it even harder to refuse directly given the circumstances.
"Did you put on perfume?" Lin Yi deliberately changed the subject; he wasn't ready to confront this topic head-on.
"Not at all! I'm just not used to those things," Ying Sa playfully tapped Lin Yi on the head with an affectionate gesture.
Lin Yi smiled. Ying Sa had not applied any makeup, which made her quite similar to Li Qiweng. Perhaps it was this resemblance that left Lin Yi feeling a bit flustered.
"Alright, let me introduce you to a friend," Lin Yi said, noticing that Ying Sa was still hugging him without a care in the world, which made him feel somewhat awkward, especially since Nicolas was still sitting in the corner.
"Oh, there are others!" Witerson II's hospital room was located inside, with good soundproofing, so they wouldn't be disturbed by Ying Sa outside. When Lin Yi introduced his friend, it was clear that Ying Sa did not know him.
Ying Sa stood up in a bit of a panic, lowering her head slightly as if she were a bride meeting her in-laws. Lin Yi shook his head with a smile; after all, she was just a girl under twenty. Although she had a straightforward personality, she could still be shy.
Nicolas awkwardly took a few steps forward. He had been sitting in the corner and was quite short, so it was no surprise that Ying Sa hadn't noticed the extra person in the room while she was in high spirits.
"Hello." Ying Sa, who usually had a cold expression around strangers, surprisingly extended her delicate hand to Qianqian. This was indeed rare.
Nicolas smiled awkwardly but did not step closer. Lin Yi slapped his forehead and said, "I'm sorry; my friend can't be exposed to sunlight for special reasons."
The room was particularly bright, with sunlight flooding most areas, leaving only a small corner in shadow.
Ying Sa nodded but lost interest and looked at Lin Yi. "Lin Yi Ge, they'll be coming soon to help take care of Witerson II. Let's head back first!"
"Huh? They're coming too? Why not come together?" Lin Yi initially wanted everyone to rest and didn't plan on having them come to look after Witerson II.
"I woke up early just to tell you the good news!" Ying Sa pouted, and Lin Yi almost couldn't resist kissing her.
"What gift is worth you coming all this way?" Before Lin Yi could respond further, teasing voices rang out from outside.
Suddenly, the light at the door dimmed as Tony walked in first, with Lulu sweetly linking arms with him. Following them were Hai and Aoling Er among others. When everyone entered, the originally spacious reception room became crowded.
This time, all members of the Mercenary Squad were present, even Ouyang Shasha had arrived. Under the sunlight, Ouyang Shasha looked as radiant as ever; every smile and frown carried an unintentional charm. Lin Yi quickly glanced at her and awkwardly asked, "Has everyone rested well?"
Seeing Lin Yi's serious expression, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter. They must have overheard parts of the conversation between Lin Yi and Ying Sa earlier.
"Captain, don't worry about your Future Father-in-Law; Lulu and I will take good care of my old commander!" Tony looked blissful and smiled like a blooming flower.
Lin Yi waved his hand and introduced Nicolas again. Most people were fine with it; however, Ouyang Shasha's face noticeably changed when she saw Nicolas. Although it was just for a moment, Lin Yi caught it but felt it wasn't the right time to ask anything.
As everyone gathered, Ying Sa urged Lin Yi to hurry up. Lin Yi was also eager to find out what the gift was, so he disregarded the various expressions on everyone's faces and hurriedly dashed out.
Today, Ying Sa brought a hovering sports car. As soon as Lin Yi got in, she started the vehicle and sped off toward the ancient castle. The ride was manageable in the city, but once they reached an open road, Ying Sa nearly pushed the car to its limits. Lin Yi found it difficult to speak, but Ying Sa was all excitement!
After about ten minutes, the car came to a halt in front of the castle's grand entrance. The same butler from before came out to greet them and provided them with a two-person electric scooter. Ying Sa hadn’t had enough fun on the way and drove the scooter as if it were a racing car. If it weren't for Lin Yi's incredible coordination, he might have been thrown off the vehicle by her reckless driving. Initially, he worried that sharing the same scooter might lead to some accidental contact with Ying Sa, but now it seemed that concern was unnecessary.
Bruh was still in that two-story building, which was the highest point of the castle, where the air felt particularly cold. This time Ashan didn’t appear; he probably had his own matters to attend to.
"Lin, this world is becoming increasingly unstable. I’m not at ease with Third Child following you, so I’ve decided to give you a Thousand-Man Squad. This way, you’ll have a secure place," Bruh said directly as soon as Lin Yi sat down.
A Thousand-Man Squad? Lin Yi couldn't help but be astonished; his Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps only had around seven hundred members at present, and now he was being offered an entire squad!
"Don’t underestimate this Thousand-Man Squad; they are currently my strongest force. They are composed of retired soldiers who have undergone special training and are all under thirty-five years old, so their combat capabilities are exceptional. To put it this way, according to standard military evaluations, their lowest combat effectiveness matches that of Special Elite Soldiers, and some among them truly possess unmatched bravery."
Bruh continued without regard for Lin Yi's feelings. At that moment, Ying Sa sat beside him on an armrest, her smile growing wider.
This was unacceptable! The thought echoed in Lin Yi's mind repeatedly. If he accepted such a grand gift, no matter how unwilling he was, he would inevitably end up with Ying Sa!
