Lin Baici turned around. When he saw who had arrived, his eyebrows lifted.
It was Hoffman, the Slave Owner!
"So you're scared too?"
Lin Baici taunted him.
There was no need to ask. Hoffman had to be here for him. Otherwise, why would someone of his stature come to Hong Kong Island?
He was obviously waiting for Lin Baici to leave Nine Provinces so he could strike at the first opportunity and kill him.
Unfortunately for him, before he could make a move, the cruise ship had encountered the Ghost Ship off Hong Kong Island and been captured.
"So you people from Nine Provinces really are all sharp-tongued, just like monkeys. You're all so irritating!"
Hoffman looked displeased.

The great Huaxia, a five-thousand-year-old nation with such deep foundations, was no joke!
"You climbed the ranks pretty quickly, didn't you?"

Lin Baici glanced at the armed police and soldiers around them. "Order them to shoot me?"
With Hoffman's abilities, he would surely let the system randomly select a game instead of choosing one himself. That made the odds of him running into Lin
