After the funeral, everyone went their separate ways. Lin Chen returned to Gotham City and discovered that Sister Widow had not come back.
He called her.
"Hey, Natalie, when are you coming home? No one's cooking here!"
"Are you going to die of starvation without your mom?" Sister Widow snapped over the phone. "I'm not coming back for now. Something's come up here."
At the moment, Sister Widow had already returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Fury felt that Lin Chen posed no immediate threat—or perhaps he was worried that Natasha Romanoff herself might get dragged into trouble—so he had asked her to return to S.H.I.E.L.D. to prepare for a new mission.
Lin Chen was speechless."You ran off way too fast. Our promise hasn't even been fulfilled yet!"
"Scumbag… you really think you're that charming?" Sister Widow scoffed.
"By the way," Lin Chen said, "the auction money's been settled. I checked—your five hundred thousand has turned into more than two million. Should I keep it for you as an education fund for our future children?"
"I'm scared—transfer it back right now! I'm so poor I can't even help myself," Sister Widow said, her eyes lighting up as she instantly put on a pitiful act.
Fury's eyelid twitched.Are my agents really this miserable?
"All right," Lin Chen replied casually. "Then forget it. I'll just make money next time."
"Wait!" Sister Widow said hurriedly. "I still have two million here. I'll call you later."
Only a fool would refuse money.
Fury's eyelid twitched again.Just fell in love and already can't afford food—and suddenly another two million? Looks like S.H.I.E.L.D.'s salary really is generous…
Sister Widow hung up the phone and looked warily at Fury."Boss, I borrowed all that money!"
Fury nodded to show he understood."Natasha Romanoff, you trust that Taoist priest far too much. He's famous for flirting everywhere—maybe he's trying to scam you for money and… other things."
Sister Widow rolled her eyes."Director, please. Who do you think I am? Who could possibly trick me?"
Fury thought about it and nodded."This mission was handled well—you deserve praise. However, recently a new 'Homelander' has appeared in New York, and the forces behind the Walter incident are extremely powerful."
"Director, are you assigning this to me?"
Fury shook his head."I've already sent Skye. You have another task."
"What can that little goblin do?"
As Sister Widow waved her hand, Fury's solid wooden desk suddenly burst into flames.
"?!"
"Natasha Romanoff, what was that?"
"I learned it from that damned Taoist priest. Actually, I already have the cultivation level of a Taoist immortal. You wouldn't understand even if I explained."
Fury was thrilled.If all my female agents become like this, S.H.I.E.L.D. won't even need utilities anymore!
Sister Widow shook her head."Director, stop dreaming. This time it was Doomsday's energy that he absorbed. You really think there's a freak like that every time?"
Fury sighed."What a pity…"
With Sister Widow gone, Lin Chen had no choice but to promote Mera to chief maid. She wore a maid outfit all day and deliberately wandered in front of him.
Diana stayed for a few days before returning to work.
The house instantly felt empty.
Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Mera, and Poison Ivy all began cultivating seriously. This time, however, they could only watch from the sidelines, which made them very unhappy—they felt they couldn't help Lin Chen at all.
Ming Di also learned the Roaring Absorption Technique and boxing skills. Although he hadn't reached the immortal realm, his strength had increased significantly. Big Meng might not even be his daughter's opponent now.
Aside from live streaming, Lin Chen kept an eye on global developments.
In the homeland, Queen Maeve (a Wonder Woman copy), a fake Aquaman, and other counterfeit heroes began rising under the operation of Walter Industries.
Fires, bank robberies, ferry accidents—every incident saw these "natives" rushing in to save people. It was as if Superman had been replaced overnight.
"So the hero is dead, and the clowns take the stage?" Lin Chen sneered.
There were also many so-called miracles in Asia.
The Holy See in Europe announced that it had received divine revelation and that angels would descend to eradicate dark creatures.
None of this had much to do with Lin Chen. No one had provoked him yet, so he lived quite comfortably.
One day, he received a call from Polaris, whom he hadn't heard from in a long time.
"Hey, miss me?" Lin Chen said lazily.
"Master—help!" Polaris shouted before the line went dead.
Lin Chen froze.
He immediately called back, but the line was busy. After several attempts, he still couldn't get through.
Frowning, he activated the Water Mirror Technique and discovered that Polaris had been captured by a group of vampires in London.
Then the image cut off.
Lin Chen couldn't tell whether Polaris was bound to his fate—or what kind of secret technique those vampires had used.
"Maybe once I get to London, I'll figure out the truth," he muttered."What are vampires afraid of? Sunlight? Silver? Holy water? Garlic?"
He glanced at the packs of silver needles on his body and nodded."A sack of garlic should be enough."
When Harley and the others heard that Lin Chen was going to Europe, they clamored to go with him.
"Master, take me! I'm really strong now!" Harley Quinn said, quickly condensing a frost bolt.
Lin Chen smacked his lips."You didn't say that during last night's test. You were still begging for mercy."
"Bad Master!" Harley glared at him.
Seeing the others about to protest, Lin Chen waved his hand."This time I'm rescuing Lorna. I'll be dealing with vampires—possibly even werewolves. I can move faster alone. You stay home."
Everyone nodded and told him to be careful.
After giving his instructions, Lin Chen bought a ticket from New York to London and boarded the transatlantic flight.
He called Diana, who wanted to help, but Lin Chen said he could handle it.
"You're not going to pick up girls, are you?" Diana asked suspiciously.
"How could that be? I'm saving someone. You think too badly of me. Next time, take good care of me to compensate for my emotional damage."
"…!"
Lin Chen hung up, shook his head, and boarded the plane.
Europe — London
Even at midnight, London's streets were still bustling. Orange streetlights illuminated the pavement as cold rain dripped onto Lin Chen's shoulders.
He felt completely out of place—no umbrella, no trench coat, dressed head to toe in denim, a single-strap bag slung over his shoulder.
No one around him offered to share an umbrella, which made him seriously question the civility of London's citizens.
He looked up and saw several young men and women dressed in black standing atop Gothic buildings, gazing down at the crowd.
With his sharp eyesight, he quickly locked onto his target.
Among them was a woman of striking beauty, exceptionally eye-catching.
Black leather jacket and pants, red lips, white teeth, small tiger-like fangs, unnaturally pale skin, ocean-blue eyes, and shoulder-length black hair—she could almost be mistaken for an Eastern beauty.
"Isn't that 'Moon Goddess' Serena, the legendary vampire of the dark night clan who never sleeps?" Lin Chen murmured."Is she hunting?"
Serena sensed his gaze and looked over, seeing an unusually handsome young man from the East staring at her with glowing eyes.
Yes—his eyes were glowing, shining brightly in the darkness.
This man's cataracts seem severe, Serena thought wildly.If I drink his blood, will I catch cataracts? What a waste—he's so handsome.
Lin Chen waved at her.
Serena froze."He can actually see me? That's not cataracts?!"
Lin Chen shifted his gaze to the left, locking onto a bald vampire who had previously been involved in Polaris's kidnapping.
"It's you."
