Jin specially bought a wooden tub large enough for Shen Tang to lie in.

He adjusted the water temperature and put her into the tub, patiently washing her.

However, as he washed, the atmosphere turned odd again.

Jin looked at the red marks on the female’s waist, cursed himself for being shameless in his mind, and ultimately couldn’t resist his greed, picking her up again.

...

By the time the two returned to the bedroom, the sky outside was already lightening, close to four in the morning.

Shen Tang was completely exhausted, turning into a puddle of softness, unconscious without any awareness.

Jin held the warm and soft body in his arms, also taking a light nap before reluctantly letting go.

He tucked her in, got out of bed, dressed, tidied up, and prepared to leave.

Time waits for no one; he must act quickly.

The more he tasted this sweet and warm life, the more he longed to rid himself of his illness and truly become a normal male Beastman!

Although Xun Fu was here and probably would be safe, a young and beautiful female living alone was ultimately too conspicuous.

Before leaving, Jin laid out a Thunder Barrier around the house.

If anyone were to intrude, he could detect it immediately and rush back.

Having arranged everything, Jin looked up at the sky, the tenderness in his eyes quickly retreating, leaving only coldness and ferocity.

The Royal City of the Leopard Clan, after more than ten years, he was finally going back to that land.

This time, Jin wasn’t as reckless as last time. He first went to the black market to buy a Human Skin Mask, then ventured into the Severe Wasteland Area, hunting down dozens of Lord-level Mutant Beasts and countless High-level Mutant Species.

The Beastman teams he encountered along the way were also plundered of their points by him.

After accumulating enough points, he used his new identity to make his way from City 20 of the Purification Zone all the way to the top three cities of the Central District, and after selection, he finally gained the qualification to enter the Royal City.

Jin didn’t exert his full strength, only achieving a good but not eye-catching result, and after passing identity verification, he officially stepped into the Royal City.

The Royal City was much more prosperous than an ordinary Purification Zone, with soaring buildings and an atmosphere of ease and worry-free life; compared to the outside world, it was like a true paradise.

Jin sneered; he wished he could rush into the Royal Palace and slaughter that old thing now, to settle the enmity between father and son completely.

But now, he had more important things to do!

Jin quickly searched his memory regarding the laboratory.

He vaguely sensed that this part of his memory had been erased by someone using spiritual power, so even though he subconsciously confirmed he had been to the laboratory, the related details were very blurry.

But somehow, since nearly losing control last time and meeting that mysterious person, his memory about the laboratory seemed a bit clearer.

It was like... an extra small segment.

But this bit of memory was so small that the impact on him was too subtle, even hard for him to detect.

The gene research laboratory was indeed controlled by the Hand of Creation.

As for where the headquarters of this organization was, no one knew; only some rumors circulated in the dark—

It was said that in the center of the Purification Zone, there was a small special area, each of the Six Great Families delineated a piece of land, still sealed off, no one has seen what it’s like inside, nor who lives there.

It was an independently sealed-off area, even the heads of each family couldn’t enter at will, very mysterious.

There were rumors that the headquarters of the Hand of Creation was there.

Moreover, only a few Upper-level Beastmen knew that the Hand of Creation had set up a branch in each of the Six Great Royal Cities, and through these branches, they kept contact and cooperation with the high-levels of each family.

The laboratory was set up near these branches.

According to what the mysterious person said, the thing he was looking for was hidden in the laboratory of the Royal City.

Jin relied on his memory to locate the laboratory.

From the outside, it looked like just an upscale neighborhood, but careful observation could reveal the differences—

The guards at the entrance all possessed nearly Primordial Beast Tier strength, with the emblem of the Hand of Creation printed on their uniforms.

The neighborhood was exceptionally quiet, with almost no pedestrians in sight, as if it had been under control. Inside, it seemed not many people lived there, shrouded in an unusual silence.

Jin knew this neighborhood was just a facade.

The real Hive Laboratory was hidden underground!

A Beastman in a lab coat passed by, and Jin dragged him into the dark, knocking him out.

Jin put on his clothes, took his Light Computer bracelet, assumed his identity, and smoothly infiltrated the neighborhood.

Following other staff, he found the entrance to the underground laboratory—Building 18, Unit 2, the elevator.

After scanning with the Light Computer, virtual buttons appeared, underground -13.5 floors.

The elevator slowly descended.

Click—

The door opened.

A chilling draft rushed over, mixed with the scent of old metal, disinfectant, and some indescribable, rust-like and rotting wood mixed odor.

In front of him was a spacious and advanced laboratory common area, many lab personnel in white coats walked back and forth, with gene chain patterns printed on their robes.

Jin stood on the ground, watching the people coming and going, his fingers slowly clenching.

Finally.

He had reached the first layer of the underground Hive Laboratory.

The electronic iron door ahead was the real entrance to the laboratory’s interior.

Jin concealed the coldness in his eyes and followed several lab workers towards the big door.

When the iris scan took place, the door suddenly issued a warning—

[Beep! Unknown intruder detected!]

[Capture immediately!]

Jin had anticipated being discovered, and his eyes showed no fluctuation; he directly tore off the mask, dismantling the disguise, and the powerful superpower instantly shook off the Beastmen attempting to capture him, forcefully breaking into the laboratory.

The walls emitted countless dense lasers, any touch by these lasers would instantly turn you to dust!

Jin moved extremely fast, dodging them all.

He forced his way through the big door.

Just then, the door closed with a roar, the surrounding walls immediately transformed, trapping him in a confined space.

Then, countless lasers wove into a vast net, attacking head-on!

Once caught by this laser net, the body would be instantly cut into pieces, with no escape.

Jin suddenly pulled two Beastmen who hadn’t escaped in time to shield himself.

The two didn’t even have time to scream before they turned into hundreds of pieces of flesh.

He took advantage of that brief moment to break in, destroying the laser equipment with a punch.

"There’s an intruder! Get him!"

The shrill alarm sounded, red lights flashing.

The place was surrounded inside and out, all wanting to capture Jin.

Jin quickly dealt with them, successfully breaking into the laboratory interior.

The news of the laboratory being attacked quickly reached the Royal Palace, and Shou He, seeing the surveillance footage from the laboratory, smashed a table in anger!

He immediately dispatched a large number of pursuers, personally heading to the scene.

Jin knew the pursuers were on their way, his expression heavy, yet he did not back down.

He continued to rush towards the deeper parts of the laboratory.

He must get that thing as soon as possible.

Quick battle and quick decision!

If not success, then martyrdom!
