Chapter 660: Chapter 660

Lin Chen quickly got dressed and headed to the door.

Standing at the door was none other than the beauty, Sophina.

Sophina's gaze was icy as she stared at Lin Chen, "You're coming with me now."

Seeing Sophina's domineering attitude, Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh. This girl's thorns were still as sharp as ever, and if he didn't crush them completely, he would definitely suffer in the future.

Lin Chen replied with a light smile, "Sorry, I'm quite happy here and don't plan on going with you."

Hearing their conversation, Wei Ling and Xu Jiayi were both stunned.

It felt as if Lin Chen was a husband trying to escape, and Sophina was a wife trying to bring her husband home.

"Are you saying you want to break off our engagement?" Sophina asked, her gaze still icy.

Lin Chen looked into Sophina's eyes and couldn't help but laugh.

The girl was shrewd, trying to scare him with the engagement, but Lin Chen knew that there had to be a reason she had come looking for him.

Moreover, Lin Chen knew that the higher-ups of the Sophina family must have already learned of his existence; they had sent Sophina to him because of that half of the treasure map.

Therefore, Lin Chen wasn't worried; he knew that this time he had her cornered.

Lin Chen replied with a faint smile, "Alright, I'm surrounded by beautiful women here, and my days are quite comfortable."

With that, Lin Chen even wrapped his arms around the slim waists of Xu Jiayi and Wei Ling, presenting a blissful image surrounded by beauties.

"You!" Sophina never dreamt Lin Chen would refuse, and she blushed with anger.

"Fine, those are your words, don't regret it later," she said, stamping her foot in frustration before turning around to leave.

Watching the red Ferrari speed away, Xu Jiayi and Wei Ling finally broke free.

Wei Ling chuckled, "Wow, Little Chen, such a beautiful woman came to ask you to be her husband, and you refused her, that's not like you at all!"

Lin Chen smiled lightly, "Who said I refused? If she wants me to go to her place, she has to beg me. At the very least, she should come to invite me three times."

Xu Jiayi glared at Lin Chen, "Three times? You just took advantage of us. You're cooking for the next few days."

"No way, I didn't sleep all night yesterday, let me catch up on some sleep!" Lin Chen cried out in protest.

"Sorry, but if you don't cook, you better roll up your bedding and go to your wife," Xu Jiayi said coldly.

Lin Chen's face bore an expression of despair, cursing Sophina in his heart, as he finally made two bowls of Dragon's Whisker Noodles. Watching the two beauties enjoying their meal, he then returned to his room to lie down on the bed.

Damn it, I'm definitely going to sleep for a full day and night.

However, just as Lin Chen closed his eyes, his cell phone suddenly rang.

The call was from Qima. With a sense of helplessness, Lin Chen answered, "Qima, after being busy with you all night yesterday, can't I get some good sleep?"

There was a touch of anxiety in Qima's voice, "Lin Chen, I'm sorry, Shalun has escaped!"

"What?" Lin Chen immediately sat up in bed.

"Police Chief Qima, your police station is really rubbish, isn't it? The man caught this morning has escaped in less than two hours."

Qima's voice also carried anger, "Someone used my official seal to take Shalun away without my knowledge. It was my negligence; I had planned to sleep first and then interrogate him."

At this point, Qima was almost on the verge of tears.

Lin Chen let out a sigh, "Alright, I'll go catch him again right now."

"But he's run off, where are you going to catch him?" Qima sighed.

Lin Chen snorted coldly, "If I could catch him once, I can catch him again. As long as he is in the city, he can't escape from the palm of my hand."

Saying this, Lin Chen hung up and drove towards the outskirts of the city, following Shalun's scent at high speed.

Finally, in an area of withered woods, Lin Chen brought the car to a stop.

Diving into the woods, Lin Chen saw Sharon being bound to a tree, encircled by eight men in black with sunglasses, who were severely torturing him.

"Kid, where is the sunken ship located?" one of the men in black demanded coldly, wielding a leather belt.

At that moment, Sharon's appearance was extremely tragic, his body was a blurred mess of blood and flesh, and the leather belt too was stained with splotches of blood.

Clearly, the young chap had suffered greatly in this short time.

Sharon spat out a mouthful of blood and said coldly, "I won't tell you, you might as well kill me."

"You're courting death, kid. Whip him!" the face of the man in black turned icy cold.

Amidst another round of harrowing screams, Sharon still clenched his teeth and refused to speak.

In fact, Sharon was well aware that these people were merciless killers; once he revealed what they wanted, there would only be one outcome for him—death.

After whipping him over ten times more, the man in black finally stayed his hand.

Just then, the leader's phone suddenly rang.

After hanging up, a cruel smile suddenly spread across the face of the man in black, "Kid, I'll give you one last chance. Are you going to talk or not?"

Sharon gritted his teeth and replied, "Unless you let me go, I won't say anything."

The man in black scoffed coldly, "Let you go? Dream on. Since you won't talk, you can go to hell! We've already used the advanced equipment of M country to locate the position; even without your help, we'll find it in a few more days at most."

As he spoke, black flames suddenly surged in his hand.

Seeing the black fire in the man's hand, Lin Chen was momentarily stunned; this black fire was clearly different from his own blaze, and considering the man's aura wasn't very strong, there was only one possibility: the man had acquired the fire attribute later in life, and the fire he wielded was not deriving from Spiritual Power but was produced by external forces.

"Die! Let me show you what it feels like to be burned alive by my demonic flames," the man in black said with a ferocious grin.

A ball of black fire instantly pounced towards Sharon.

"No!" Sharon's face showed a look of terror.

But in that moment, suddenly a wall of fire appeared in front of Sharon.

The black fire serpent crashed into the firewall and was immediately extinguished.

The man in black's expression changed dramatically as he looked behind Sharon, "Who's there?"

At that moment, Lin Chen walked out of the woods.

"Big brother, playing with fire in broad daylight, aren't you afraid of wetting the bed at night?"

Nani, playing with fire and wetting the bed?

The man in black was taken aback by Lin Chen's words.

At the same time, Sharon recognized Lin Chen, "Sir, please save me, I'll tell you everything if you do."

Upon hearing Sharon recognize Lin Chen, the man in black slightly narrowed his eyes, "Who on earth are you?"

Lin Chen gave a faint smile, "Who I am, you aren't qualified to know. If you're smart, you'll get lost. I'm not in a good mood today."

"You little brat, you don't want to live."

Enraged by Lin Chen's arrogant tone, the man in black sent a fire serpent lashing towards Lin Chen with the black flame in his hand.

Yet as the serpent of flame neared Lin Chen, he reached out with one hand, and a surge of fiery blaze erupted, instantly devouring the approaching fire serpent.

"How is this possible!" The man in black was dumbfounded at the sight.

"You're also of the fire attribute?" the man in black said dumbly.

A cold smirk crossed Lin Chen's lips. "Yeah, and I'm the ancestor of playing with fire."
