Chapter 907: Chapter 907
Behind Eugene stood several martial artists, but their strength was merely at the Pill Origin Stage.
Lin Chen walked towards them step by step, and at this moment, the expressions on their faces as they looked at Lin Chen were filled with terror.
In their eyes, Lin Chen was no different from a devil—after all, this man had just single-handedly killed ten Cloud Sea Stage masters and two Divine Meridian Stage experts in one breath.
If news of this spread in the martial arts world, it would definitely be an earth-shattering sensation.
Standing amidst the crowd, Eugene's face appeared grim, but a glimmer of cunning flashed in his eyes.
The talent Lin Chen displayed was utterly astounding. If a powerhouse could be recruited into the Ghost Society, it would undoubtedly be a monumental achievement, providing him another steppingstone toward becoming the society's future leader.
Fixing his gaze on Lin Chen, Eugene suddenly burst into laughter. "Good, very good. I never expected China to have such a talented young master."
Facing Lin Chen as he approached slowly, Eugene's face still carried a trace of arrogance.
"Kid, you're the most promising young talent I've ever seen. I'm pleased to inform you that with your strength, you're already qualified to join our Ghost Society. If you're willing to follow me, I can overlook the deaths of the strong ones you've killed today. Not only that, but you'll live a life of glory and wealth, becoming one of the world's mightiest figures. How about it?" Eugene's face brimmed with excitement.
The thought of acquiring a young expert like Lin Chen thrilled Eugene to no end. After all, the Ghost Society was the world's pinnacle organization, and almost no one could resist its temptations. To join the Ghost Society meant standing above others and ruling the world.
This offer was something even Lin Chen wouldn't be able to reject.
Currently, the Ghost Society's internal power struggle was fierce. If he could recruit a ruthless figure like Lin Chen, Eugene would gain significant leverage in his quest to control the Ghost Society.
The death of those Cloud Sea Stage and Divine Meridian Stage experts was insignificant to him; if he could bring Lin Chen into the fold, such losses were trivial in comparison.
Hearing Eugene's invitation to Lin Chen, the surrounding crowd looked on with envious expressions.
After all, the Ghost Society had extremely high membership requirements; only the elites from various fields or high-ranking government officials had the opportunity to join.
Lin Chen had killed so many of the Ghost Society's subordinates, and yet Eugene extended him an olive branch. It was like a pie falling straight from the sky.
But among the crowd, only Li Meng's face turned exceedingly ugly. If Lin Chen were to join the Ghost Society, it would be a nightmare for him, as it meant his revenge would never have a chance to be fulfilled.
"Follow you into the Ghost Society?"
A cold smile appeared on Lin Chen's lips. This Eugene really knew how to adapt to the situation, even attempting to win him over.
"What do you think? An opportunity isn't something everyone gets. As long as you join the Ghost Society, I'll urge my father to pardon everything you've done before. I could even let you enter the Ghost Society's core, making you one of China's most elite individuals. Whether you desire wealth, power, or beauty, all of that could be as easy as flipping your hand."
Eugene wore a proud expression, resembling a ruler bestowing rewards upon his minister. In his mind, no one could refuse the allure of joining the Ghost Society. Countless people treated becoming part of the Ghost Society as their lifelong ambition.
The mention of entering the society's core was a tantalizing condition, and many present could not hide the envy glittering in their eyes.
Being part of the Ghost Society's core was equivalent to reaching the pinnacle of power in the world. Most importantly, that inner circle was filled with European leaders and economic tycoons. Merging into such a network brought instant and unparalleled opulence.
Yet, Yu Feifei became visibly nervous. She understood that with Lin Chen's strength, if he were to join the Western Ghost Society, it would pose a severe threat to China.
Yu Feifei had even resolved that if Lin Chen truly agreed, she would eliminate him at any cost, even if it meant sacrificing herself.
Amid the crowd's peculiar gazes, Lin Chen chuckled indifferently and mocked, "I, Lin Chen, will only ever pledge allegiance to my homeland, only ever follow my beliefs. Neither you nor the Ghost Society is worthy!"
"Of course, if you've realized your mistakes, I could escort you to our public security bureau to surrender and see if they'll grant you leniency." Lin Chen sneered coldly.
Lin Chen's words were like thunder, plunging the entire forest into another moment of silence.
Everyone stared at Lin Chen in disbelief, their mouths agape.
No one could have imagined that Lin Chen would so decisively reject the invitation to join the Ghost Society without even considering it, and on top of that, demand that Eugene surrender himself. It was utterly audacious.
At this moment, Eugene's expression turned as dark as night. He never imagined someone in this world could reject the temptation of joining the core circle of the Ghost Society.
His gaze turned icy, brimming with murderous intent. "Lin Chen, do you know what kind of fate awaits you for refusing to join the Ghost Society? I, Eugene, am the future chairman of the Ghost Society. Offering you this opportunity was me giving you face, but you refused and spat on it. You'll die a horrible death."
Eugene, consumed by humiliation and rage, resorted to threatening Lin Chen, unable to accept his refusal.
Yet, before his words had even finished, Lin Chen had already appeared right in front of him, stretching out one hand to lift Eugene into the air effortlessly.
Eugene's face turned deathly pale as he struggled frantically. "You lunatic! What are you trying to do?"
But Lin Chen's grip, like an iron vise, tightened further, making it difficult for Eugene to breathe.
"I am the future leader of the Ghost Society! If you dare harm me, my father won't spare you! Neither will the Ghost Society! You'll die, and everyone around you will perish because of you!"
Eugene's face twisted with malevolence as he threatened Lin Chen.
Seeing Lin Chen take action against Eugene, the expressions of Eugene's subordinates turned grim.
They all knew how exceptional Eugene's status was. Killing him would essentially be a declaration of war against the Ghost Society—a truly insane move.
But Lin Chen curled his lips into a wicked grin, staring at Eugene with scorn. "I told you, the most foolish mistake you've ever made in your life was setting foot in China's territory to commit your crimes. From that moment on, you were already dead. I don't care how powerful the Ghost Society is or what it's capable of elsewhere. If it dares to wreak havoc in China, everyone who comes, dies. China's sovereignty is untouchable by anyone."
A chilling aura of killing intent burst forth from Lin Chen, causing everyone present to tremble inwardly.
"This guy is insane... He actually dares to publicly declare war on the Ghost Society. Is he truly unafraid of death?"
These people had traveled to many nations and witnessed countless powerful figures and high-ranking elites bow before the mere name of the Ghost Society. Yet today, they had met someone so bold and unrelenting.
At that moment, the sound of bones fracturing suddenly echoed, plunging the forest once again into deathly silence.
