Bermuda, Devil's Island!
Vultures circled in the sky, and a sinister, biting wind stung the face. This, the most terrifying prison in the world, was as treacherous and gloomy as ever.
But this place was not just a prison. It was the birthplace of kings!
For without exception, every criminal who walked out of this place became a titan known the world over. Any single one of them had the power to overthrow a nation's government and change the global balance of power.
"Prison Warden, sir, you... are you really leaving?"
On the jet-black shore, a group of terrifying figures were prostrated on the ground, their auras as formidable as dragons and tigers.
The one who swept the global fighting world, the Ultimate Fighting King—Gesang!
The one who slaughtered an army of seven hundred thousand, the SSS-class war criminal—Rotis!
The regicide who seized a nation through political cunning, the Peerless Imperial Preceptor—Huangfu Longdou!
One hundred and eight of them in all!
These titans, whose very names struck fear across the globe, gazed fixedly at the young man before them. Their expressions were reverent, their eyes filled with worship, as if they were on a holy pilgrimage!
"The old man saved my life back then. He made me the Prison Warden of Devil's Island and tasked me with training you 108 prisoners. Now, you've all become titans in your own right. It's time for me to leave."
Lin Han clasped his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed calmly on the distant east. There lay the homeland that had haunted his dreams for five long years—the Dragon Country!
He had to go back!
He absolutely had to go back!
For his blood feud had yet to be avenged!
"But you taught us medicine, bestowed upon us martial arts, and instructed us in the art of political maneuvering, forging us into kings among men. We haven't had a chance to repay your immense kindness!"
"Prison Warden, sir, let us follow you! We would gladly serve as your attendants, even if it's just to pour your tea!"
"You are our god, our king! We wish only to serve by your side. We would follow you to the ends of the earth and face death itself without hesitation!"
Tears welled in the eyes of these titans as they all gazed at Lin Han, unwilling to see him go.
"Did I train you just to have you pour my tea?"
Lin Han turned, his expression like that of a Demon King, and an overwhelming, sinister pressure instantly swept over them all.
Every king present shuddered, a tremor running through them so deep it felt like every pore on their skin was quaking.
Even though they were all kings in their own domains, a single glance from Lin Han was enough to shatter their formidable presence.
Seeing this, Lin Han sighed. "A brief parting makes for a better reunion. Now, go!"
With that, Lin Han turned his back on them.
All the kings bit their lips, trying not to cry out, looking as crestfallen as scolded children.
"Prison Warden, sir, you have to promise you'll call on us!"
Gesang's eyes streamed with tears as he shouted, slamming his forehead onto the ground.
"You have to call on us!"
All the kings roared in unison, slamming their heads to the ground.
Lin Han remained silent and simply waved his hand.
One by one, the kings turned away dejectedly and departed on their private jets.
Some even departed on warships and in fighter jets.
Once they were gone, Lin Han let out a long breath. 'It's not that I don't want to be with my brothers, but there are some things I must do myself!'
Five years ago, he was still the young master of the Lin Family in Jiang City. But on one rainy night, a group of mysterious figures in ghoulish masks appeared. They tortured the thirty-two members of his family for three days and three nights before slaughtering them like livestock.
To this day, he could still see it: his cousins, their limbs broken by those monsters, being violated one after another!
He remembered the humiliation of his father's decapitated head being kicked around like a ball!
And he remembered above all the despair in his mother's voice as she took a fatal blow for him, screaming at him to run!
Those scenes had tormented him like a nightmare for five long years.
Finally, the torment had forged him into a demon!
An inhuman, brutal, and savage demon of a Prison Warden!
But now, five years had passed. He had fulfilled his benefactor's dying wish and released all the prisoners of Devil's Island. And now he...
...could no longer suppress the raging bloodlust in his heart. He would return to the Dragon Country and uncover the truth of his family's massacre.
At that moment, Lin Han took out an iron box. His benefactor had entrusted it to him on his deathbed, telling him he could open it only after he had fulfilled his promise.
Lin Han's entire body trembled with anticipation.
He knew that inside this iron box lay the truth behind the Lin Family massacre.
CLICK!
The iron box clicked open. Inside, Lin Han found not a clue, but a marriage contract!
"What is this!"
Lin Han's expression darkened. For a moment, he had no idea what kind of game the old man was playing.
But then, he spotted a letter. Lin Han opened it to find a short message inside:
"The truth of the Lin Family massacre lies with my granddaughter, Ye Qing. Marry her, protect the Ye Family, and the mystery of your family's annihilation will be revealed."
Lin Han's brows knitted together. 'That old fox played me, even in death!' He was being forced to become the man's grandson-in-law!
But Lin Han knew full well that he was in no position to refuse.
The moment Lin Han removed the marriage contract from the box, alarms suddenly blared across Devil's Island, their sound deafening!
From the east, a series of rumbling explosions echoed across the island.
Flames shot into the sky!
This triggered a colossal tsunami that blotted out the sky, instantly swallowing the entirety of Devil's Island!
In that moment, the island—a thorn in the side of the world's great powers, an object of both extreme fear and reverence—was vanishing before one's very eyes.
And at the very instant Devil's Island was utterly annihilated, Lin Han's figure vanished without a trace, as if carried away on a gentle breeze...
