Bloodline Bearer

The other Awakened around them secretly scorned this scene, yet they also felt it was justified. After all, Lin Xue's father was too terrifying; if they angered him, it would be a real problem.

Therefore, most people simply thought that Black Tiger Corps was too rapid, and didn't say anything more.

The beautiful woman was speechless upon seeing this, but at the same time marveled at the terrifying power.

These people had been so rude to Lin Xue before, but now that they heard Lin Xue was going to see her father, Awakened attitudes changed drastically.

This made the beautiful woman even more enamored with power, and her gaze involuntarily fell on Lin Xue and Mengmeng.

Actually.

In addition to possessing the strength of Late Level Five, she also has a special bloodline, but this bloodline can only be activated by her in conjunction with four other Bloodline Bearer.

The reason she followed Lin Xue was not only because Lin Xue was a good person, but also because Lin Xue and Mengmeng were both Bloodline Bearer, a fact that even Lin Xue and Mengmeng did not know.

The beautiful woman knew they were Bloodline Bearer because her own bloodline was special, allowing her to sense other people's bloodlines at close range and know whether they possessed any bloodline at all.

But.

That's why she had some doubts about Lin Xue's father, Lin Yi.

Because she couldn't sense any bloodline in Lin Yi, and judging from his appearance, Lin Yi's strength was only at level six.

If it weren't for his previous triumphant return, everyone would probably think Lin Yi was a Level 6 Awakened.

Certainly.

The beautiful woman thought she was mistaken. Although she had a slight doubt that Lin Yi was not of the Bloodline Bearer, she buried this doubt deep in her heart.

"They're gone."

Lin Xue led the beautiful woman and Mengmeng towards the outside of the conference room, her steps noticeably lighter.

After they left.

The people in the meeting room stopped smiling and sat down one by one with grim expressions.

"Black Tiger Corps, you shouldn't have agreed to the tax reduction so hastily," the logistics minister said with a stern face.

"Weren't you the one who chickened out first? If you hadn't changed your attitude, why would I have agreed?" the Black Tiger Corps roared.

"Hmph, that was just a temporary measure. Besides, even though I chickened out, I didn't agree to provide food. That's called strategy, don't you understand?" The logistics minister glanced at the Black Tiger Corps and sneered.

"You..."

The Black Tiger Corps was speechless after being rebuked. He felt both frustrated and angry, but he couldn't vent his anger and could only keep it to himself.

"Black Tiger, you're still too young. Lin Xue wants us to give up ten streets. Do you think that's possible? That's the foundation of our Iron Dragon Mercenary Corps," the Iron Dragon leader said indifferently.

This person appears very easygoing, but his strength has already reached the late stage of level eight, and he is the strongest mercenary in the base. However, he is rather stingy, so he had been perfunctory in dealing with people before.

Even when everyone flattered him before, he merely echoed their words without offering any concrete promises, clearly just going through the motions. Now that he saw the Black Tiger Corps suffer a loss, he felt a sense of schadenfreude.

"You!"

The Black Tiger Corps was furious, but these people were all very powerful, and he couldn't afford to offend them. He could only swallow his anger and sulk.

Roar!

A terrifying roar suddenly rang out, startling the senior executives in the conference room, who all rushed to the outside of the conference room.

However, once outside...

Just then, they saw a Black Leopard dragging Lin Xue away, followed closely by a Gorilla carrying the beautiful woman and Mengmeng.

This scene left everyone staring wide-eyed.

"What happened? What's wrong?"

"Aren't those two Beast Kings? Weren't they always in Villa District No. 1, by Lord Lin Yi's side? How did they end up here?"

"Yes, has something happened?"

The higher-ups asked in surprise, wondering what had happened.

But.

The security captain at the entrance witnessed the entire incident and heard Lin Xue making a phone call at the entrance, so he bowed slightly to the higher-ups and began to explain.

"My lords, the reason these two Beast Kings are here is because Lord Lin Yi thought Chief Lin Xue and her group were too slow, so he sent the Beast King to help them. He also said that if they perform well, the two Beast Kings will be given to them."

What should we give them?

Everyone was shocked to hear this, and they all looked at the security captain in disbelief.

That was the Beast King of terrifying power! And now it's being given away? That's truly shocking.

"Are you really going to give it away? How did you know?" Commander Iron Dragon questioned.

"Chief Lin Xue just took a phone call at the entrance, and then the two Beast King came and took them away. I overheard the conversation on the phone," the security captain hurriedly explained.

"This... this..."

Everyone was speechless upon hearing this. They looked at each other, and all saw the shock and fear in each other's eyes.

"I... let's go back to the meeting room. I think we should all reconsider the resource allocation and not rush to refuse," I said, sounding timid.

"Yes, with Leader Lin Xue here, the base will definitely prosper even more, and we will only grow stronger."

"Yes, yes, I think so too."

Commander Iron Dragon nodded in agreement, secretly wiping the cold sweat from his brow. He had no choice; this time, he chickened out too.

Hearing the conversation, Black Tiger Corps raised his eyebrows repeatedly. Thinking of his earlier frustration and the cowardly behavior of these people, he couldn't help but feel a little smug.

"You call me a coward? You're all cowards than me," the Black Tiger Corps muttered to himself.

The senior executives returned to the conference room and began their discussion.

However, this discussion was surprisingly harmonious. Apart from the logistics minister who insisted on contributing no more than 10% of the grain, everyone else agreed on the resource allocation.

"Logistics Minister, are you really only going to contribute 10%? Didn't Leader Lin Xue tell you to contribute 20%?" Black Tiger Corps raised an eyebrow.

"Don't worry, the base needs me to provide food. I'm already giving Lin Xue a lot of face by giving her an extra ten percent. Besides, ten percent is my limit," the logistics minister said in a deep voice.

He was one of the most important people in the base, and he didn't believe Lin Xue would kill him. After all, without him, the base would lose its most important food supply.

Moreover, his strength is at the late stage of level eight, making him an important combat force for the base and not to be underestimated.

Most importantly, Lin Xue is only at level six, which is not enough to intimidate them.

This was also one of the reasons why the higher-ups in the conference room previously disagreed with the resource allocation. If Lin Xue's strength had reached Level Nine, or even the late stage of level eight, everyone would have agreed to the previous resource allocation.

After all, in this post-apocalyptic world, strength is everything; what you gain through your father's influence is ultimately lacking.

On the other side.

Lin Xue and her group quickly organized various resources and cultivation techniques, and with a large amount of supplies, hurriedly went to the No. 1 Grand Villa.

No. 1 Grand Villa.

Naruto was lounging on the sofa when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," Naruto said calmly.

Squeak!

The door was pushed open, and a beautiful woman dressed in a black office lady outfit, black leather shoes, and black knee-high socks walked briskly to Naruto, bringing with her a fragrant breeze, and bowed slightly in greeting.

"My lord, this is the Awakening Potion you requested. Leader Lin Xue is currently gathering the remaining cultivation techniques and potions."

"Um."

Naruto nodded and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him.

[Liu Mei: Late Level Five Dark Awakened, possessing an unknown bloodline. Activation requires five Bloodline Bearer, or it can be activated by consuming Blackwind Grass and Darkflower for three consecutive days.]

" Those with Bloodline Bearer?"

Naruto murmured softly, staring at the beautiful woman named Liu Mei in front of him.

"You... you actually knew I was Bloodline Bearer!"

Hearing the murmurs, the beautiful woman looked at Naruto in shock. This bloodline was her deepest secret; she had never told anyone about it.

But to her surprise, the weathered man before her saw right through her words, which took her by surprise.

The hidden doubts that had been lingering in his mind vanished at that moment, and he stared blankly at Naruto.

She never expected that this person knew so much, which was enough to prove how terrifying he was, so she felt even more awe and respect for him.
