“This!”

Lin Tian looked around and found that there was no one around. He picked it up, put it in his pocket, and then trotted back.

“What’s the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?”

Zhou Jin and the others looked at Lin Tian.

“No, nothing.”

Lin Tian waved his hand. Zhou Jin and Tong Nian held him up and started playing with him. At this moment, a silver button fell out of his pocket.

Zhou Jin and childhood winked at each other. Zhou Jin chuckled and said, “Could it be?”

Then, he followed his gaze. However, Lin Tian snatched the button and placed it on the collar of his shirt.

“The button fell off during the fight. What are you guys thinking about?”

Lin Tian could tell that they were thinking about something else. Even if he had really fought fiercely, he would not have torn his pants. The matter of the abandoned warehouse would be temporarily put to rest.

Similarly, no one knew that there was a silver-white capsule in the interlayer of Lin Tian’s other pocket.

When they returned to the city gate, many of them had already returned, and some of them were even injured.

It had to be said that Lin Tian and the others were quite lucky.

All of them returned safely.

“Today, we have completely eradicated the remnants of the evil energy organization hidden in the Green Mountain Base. On behalf of the Sacred Association, I would like to thank everyone!”

The vice president of the Sacred Association walked onto the stage again and gave another impassioned speech. The people below cheered along, as if they had forgotten about the pain. The vice president spoke for nearly ten minutes before he finally stopped.

Similarly, after the end of this encirclement operation, every team member who participated in the operation received a corresponding reward. When Lin Tian and the others went to collect the reward, Lin Tian happened to meet the eyes of the vice president who was about to leave.

“Buzz!”

Lin Tian felt as if his head had been struck by something. A wave of dizziness swept over him, and his body felt as if it was overturned.

He covered his head and shook it vigorously. Then, he saw the most terrifying scene in his life.

The vice president’s eyes were like black holes, pulling him into his gaze. Lin Tian felt as if he was in an endless darkness.

Then, his vision turned white. He seemed to be standing on a cliff. Below him was a bottomless abyss. At this moment, the cliff suddenly cracked and Lin Tian fell.

“Young man, what’s wrong?”

At this moment, a hand was placed on his shoulder. Lin Tian came back to his senses. He realized the vice-president was looking at Lin Tian with a smile.

Lin Tian’s forehead and back were covered in sweat.

“No, it’s nothing. Thank you for your concern, vice-president!”

Lin Tian shook his head. The vice-president took another step closer and stared at him. Lin Tian hurriedly avoided him. After the vice-president gave a meaningful smile, he left Lin Tian.

“So scary!”

After the vice-president left, Lin Tian let out a long sigh. It seemed that the illusion was not fake, but real. This vice-president was probably not as simple as he thought.

After the vice-president left, he glanced at Lin Tian from the back window of the car.

“He actually contracted with the Elemental Queen? interesting. Check him out later!”

After the vice-president finished speaking, he turned around and closed his eyes to rest. The car sped away from the city gate and disappeared from the Green Mountain Base.

Wang Xue seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with Lin Tian. She ran up to him and handed him a tissue when she saw the cold sweat on his forehead.

“Are you okay? Why are you sweating so much?”

The current Wang Xue was no longer as cold as before. Furthermore, after collaborating with Lin Tian and the others a few times, she began to open her heart.

“No, I’m fine. I’m probably a little tired from today’s battle!”

Lin Tian found an excuse to beat around the bush, so Wang Xue didn’t continue asking. After the operation was over, the captain of the guards, Zhang Feng, suggested that they go and visit Zhou Tao’s family.

Lin Tian had almost recovered by now, but he didn’t tell anyone about the vice president and the silver-white capsule. In this situation, he couldn’t tell who his enemy was and who was his friend.

If he wasn’t careful, he might die.

However, he still followed Zhang Feng and the others to visit Zhou Tao’s family. At the same time, he bought some fruits. Both the guards and Lin Tian felt sorry for Zhou Tao’s death.

Besides, Lin Tian had always thought that Zhou Tao’s death was related to him.

If only he could help Zhou Tao at that time or had the ability to help him, at least he wouldn’t have died.

…

Green Mountain Base, Zhou Tao’s home.

They pressed the doorbell. Zhou Tao’s home was near the city wall of Green Mountain Base, and it looked old. It could be seen that Zhou Tao’s family was not well-off.

Through Lin Tian’s understanding, when Zhou Tao was in his third year of high school, he didn’t even have a black iron-level magical beast. He dropped out of school and entered the society, becoming a guard. After a few years, he finally became a silver-level armored envoy.

He didn’t complain but worked diligently in the guard team. When there was danger, he would rush to the front. But unfortunately, he still died in the end.

When the door opened, two old folks dressed in mourning clothes appeared in front of everyone. They looked very old and thin. There were tears at the corners of their eyes. It was obvious that they were in grief of losing Zhou Tao.

“Uncle, Auntie, I have brought my colleagues from the guards to see you.”

Zhang Feng handed the gifts over. When the two old folks looked at Zhang Feng, they could not stop their tears from flowing out. It seemed that Zhang Feng had met Zhou Tao’s family before.

“Children, thank you for coming to see us. Come in!”

Although the two elders were still immersed in their son’s grief, they still welcomed Lin Tian and the others into the house.

Lin Tian looked at the white house and couldn’t help but feel sorrow.

“Which one of you is Lin Tian?”

After everyone entered, Zhou Tao’s mother asked. At this moment, Lin Tian’s eyes were slightly red.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t save him!”

The emotions in Lin Tian’s heart surged. The white color of the room and the black and white photo of Zhou Tao made him unable to control his tears.

“Silly child, why are you crying? Don’t cry, don’t cry!”

“How can I blame you? Our son would mention you to us every time he came back. He said that during the mission, he met a very powerful high school student.”

“You don’t know. When he told me about it, his eyes were filled with admiration. Also, he said that you even represented your high school to participate in the competition.”

…

Zhou Tao’s mother told Lin Tian the words her son had told her as if she knew everything. Her eyes were filled with tears.

After an unknown amount of time, she took a deep breath and seemed to calm down. Then, she patted Lin Tian’s hand and smiled.

“Our son also said that if he can choose someone to protect the world with him, it will definitely be you!”

Zhou Tao’s mother said seriously word by word.

It was Zhou Tao’s trust and envy towards Lin Tian.
