The Herta Makes Her Move in the Maybach!
The Herta spoke frankly and boldly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Hai remained silent for a moment.
He could almost hear the air moving inside the car. He turned his head and looked at the Herta next to him. His eyes were serious, yet also indulgent.
"I'll spoil you with all my might..." Lin Hai said slowly, his tone devoid of any joke, "Of course, no problem!"
The Herta's lips curled slightly, revealing a proud and mysterious smile. Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel, her gaze sweeping over the roaring construction machinery outside the window.
"You must understand, here..." Her voice wasn't loud, yet it carried a strange, penetrating power, "My physique and the strength I can wield are unimaginable to you in that world."
Lin Hai raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Oh? You think I'm no match for you here?"
"To be very objective," The Herta turned his head, his gaze meeting Lin Hai's, his tone calm:
"In the world you came from, bound by the rules and favored by you, I was no match for you, and in the end, I was always the one begging for mercy... But here, the situation is exactly the opposite."
The confidence in those words ignited Lin Hai's competitive spirit. He chuckled and said, "Now that you mention it, I'm even more eager to give it a try."
"What a coincidence." The Herta's gaze swept over his lips, then slowly moved away, carrying a hint of provocation. "That's exactly what I was thinking too."
"When?" Lin Hai asked.
"How about now?" The Herta's suggestion was direct and bold.
Lin Hai shook his head, his gaze fixed on the emerging urban framework outside the car window, reason prevailing.
"Now is probably not the right time. This new city is still growing, and we haven't had a proper look at it yet."
The Herta followed his gaze and nodded.
"You're right, let's take a look at the city first." She steered the vehicle onto a newly paved road.
Sitting in the back seat, Seele's cheeks were already flushed, and she silently turned her gaze to the window.
She thought she was quite bold, but compared to the Herta's almost frank and straightforward manner, she realized that deep down, she still had a girlish shyness.
The Maybach was driving on the newly built road.
The engineering vehicles, improved by the Herta technology, are extremely efficient, and the roads they pave are not only fast but also exceptionally smooth and sturdy.
The wheels barely bumped the road, and in some sections, the road quality even exceeded the standards Lin Hai had in mind.
"High-level technology is truly beneficial," Lin Hai remarked sincerely, feeling the stability of the environment. "This kind of infrastructure saves us so much trouble."
"This is just basic operation." The Herta's tone was indifferent, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
"You might think this is basic operation," Lin Hai said with a wry smile, "But where we're from, achieving this level of quality and efficiency requires a significant investment of funds, manpower, and resources."
The Herta glanced at him thoughtfully, then suddenly changed the subject:
Have you ever thought about further expanding your wealth empire?
"It's fine as it is now. It's enough to maintain the current scale and support what I want to do."
"According to my calculations," The Herta said, gazing ahead, "Your current personal liquid assets, converted to cash, should exceed three hundred million US dollars, which is more than two billion, and that doesn't even include those gold bars and ingots."
Lin Hai scratched his head subconsciously, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.
Although he knew he possessed considerable wealth, it was only upon hearing this specific figure that he truly realized that, without realizing it, his funds had reached such a level.
For most people, the accumulation of wealth seems endless; the more money the better.
Once upon a time, Lin Hai also held the same idea.
However, when he truly grasped the mysteries of the Path Power and experienced the star-shaking power of the [Super Burst] state, his worldview underwent a fundamental transformation.
Money.
Its former glory has gradually faded.
It has been reduced to a purely instrumental existence.
Convenience is enough; it's no longer worth the effort to pursue it excessively.
Lin Hai has changed.
He now has the confidence to "not eat beef" at any time.
In some cases, it even possesses Homelander -like power that transcends the norm.
The worldly game of wealth then seems utterly tasteless.
If there are obstacles, why bother with complicated calculations?
Where power reaches, obstacles will naturally vanish.
Lin Hai's change in mindset is an inevitable result of his strength, and also a kind of transcendence.
The Herta drove the Maybach nimbly across this huge, unfinished canvas.
Lin Hai observed the various novel architectural structures that appeared along the way through the car window.
This emerging city is significantly different from his original vision.
The planning of the Herta was full of ingenious thinking and keen insight.
The overall style leans towards a sci-fi and futuristic feel.
Although many of the buildings are still just skeletons, their flowing lines, bold structures, and subtly visible integrated modules already reveal an extraordinary grandeur.
This foreshadows that this will be no ordinary city!
During the journey, Seele spotted Oleg, the leader of the Wildfire Organization, standing beside a construction site directing operations.
She immediately said, "Please stop for a moment, I see Oleg, and I want to see if there's anything I can do to help."
The Maybach came to a smooth stop.
Lin Hai rolled down the car window and gave Oleg a brief greeting.
Seele jumped out of the car and strode towards her old leader.
Immediately, the Herta stepped on the gas again, and this time, the speed increased significantly.
The powerful acceleration pressed Lin Hai firmly into his seat, and the scenery outside the window began to rush past, turning into blurry blocks of color.
The deep, powerful roar of the engine, mixed with wind noise, stimulated the senses.
The sheer pleasure brought by this speed made Lin Hai's lips unconsciously curl into a smile.
He enjoys the feeling of wielding power and breaking free from constraints.
Judging from the Herta's focused and slightly excited profile, she was also enjoying herself.
"Feeling excited?" The Herta stared ahead, his voice carrying a hint of challenge.
"Quite exciting."
"Want to... do something a little more exciting?"
Of course I want to.
"How about this," The Herta turned his head, "You drive, and I'll... kiss you?"
Lin Hai laughed upon hearing this, "I'm fine with driving, but a kiss... isn't that much more exciting for us, is it?"
The Herta laughed too, "Everything has to start, doesn't it? Let's start with intimacy, and then decide on the next level of excitement."
Their eyes met, and they smiled at each other.
That smile was full of unspoken understanding.
Lin Hai leaped into the air, and the Herta shifted its position.
The two men changed seats in the speeding Maybach.
What ordinary people cannot accomplish is as simple as breathing for them.
The Herta grabbed Lin Hai's arm and planted a gentle kiss on his cheek.
