On a moonless night, darkness enveloped the surroundings. Suddenly, a wave of sound echoed through the air as a military helicopter landed steadily in the midst of a terrifyingly dense forest.

This primeval forest is the little-known facade of Huaxia Nation's Everlasting Imprint Prison. The Everlasting Imprint Prison is a permanent scar on Huaxia Nation, because everyone imprisoned there was sentenced to death, but their value is immeasurable.

Everyone who knows about the Eternal Mark Prison knows one fact: once marked with an Eternal Mark, it's forever. Of course, there are special cases, but those mean it's time to serve your country faithfully.

"Is the Dragon Scale King really in the Eternal Mark Prison?"

"Well, he committed a capital crime. Even countless military merits can't offset that. But this time is an opportunity. You go tell him."

A signal echoed, and the forest parted suddenly, revealing an underground passage.

A soldier in uniform walked slowly along the underground passage. The dim light could not bring out the fine details of his physique, but his dashing figure was displayed vividly.

The child entered the interrogation room and said to the warden, "Please bring Ling Yu here."

The calm voice emanated a powerful aura, yet Zi seemed very respectful towards "Ling Yu."

"Ling, Ling... is!"

The warden, upon hearing this, was taken aback and immediately rushed to the deepest level of Yonghen Prison.

In the deepest level of Yonghen Prison, a young man in camouflage lowered his ear slightly. His angular face was tinged with a hint of spirituality, and his sword-shaped eyebrows and star-like eyes radiated a fierce aura, a subtle upward curve playing on the corner of his mouth.

"Is it time yet?" The young man asked himself, his voice laced with a world-weariness, even a hint of melancholy.

"Big brother, someone is in the interrogation room!"

The warden personally came to invite the young man, treating him with even more respect than he showed his superiors. He could never forget the scene of the young man arriving at Yonghen Prison.

At that time, all the young male prison guards changed into their uniforms and ended up lying on the ground. They even used electric batons, but the young men broke the batons in front of them. They even doubted if Yonghen Prison's copper walls and 100,000-volt electrified fences could withstand the young men's attacks.

After that, all the guards and prisoners called the young man "Big Brother". No one was more revered and powerful than the young man.

The young man glanced at the warden with a slight nod. The warden stiffened instantly, his piercing eyes making it impossible to look directly at him.

The warden hurriedly stepped forward and opened the prison gate. Because he was too flustered, he even typed the code wrong once. After apologizing to the young man, he nervously opened the cell door.

After opening the door, the warden quickly led the way. The prison was eerily quiet, and the oppressive silence was suffocating.

A young man walked out of prison, and a deafening cacophony of noise erupted around him.

"Big Brother!"

A chorus of anguished voices rose from the lips of each inmate. They all knew the young man’s predicament, a weight that demanded respect from every corner. And they were well aware of the unwritten laws of Eternal Mark Prison: once you leave its walls, you may never be seen again.

A young man waved his hand gently, and instantly the sparrows fell silent. In his eyes, they weren't criminals, but soldiers. Though they had committed a capital crime, they possessed absolute value.

Whether it was an inmate or a prison guard, they all greeted the young man with respectful bows.

A young man calmly approached the interrogation room door. After he gave his consent, the warden carefully opened it.

The interrogation room was a closed space. A desk lamp, a file bag, and a fair hand resting perfectly on top of the file bag were placed on the interrogation table. Following the hand upward, one's gaze traced the curves that outlined a mesmerizing landscape.

A young man casually pulled out a chair from across the interrogation table and sat down, "15.95 cm, answer C, what a shame!"

Hearing the strange words from the young man, both the military commander and the jailer were taken aback, bewildered.

"Ling Yu, what do you mean?" Jun's brows furrowed. Ling Yu's reputation was different from what she saw before her.

"It's nothing." Ling Yu's corner of his mouth twitched into a smile, his eyes holding a hint of uncanny glint. "Continue."

Seeing Ling Yu's eerie smile, the police officer couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. He had heard the saying: "A devilish smile splits the heavens, and a dragon's fury annihilates gods and demons!"

This sentence is the best description of the Dragon Scale King Ling Yu.

Jing Ping took a deep breath and said seriously, "This time I have a mission for you..."

Before the officer could finish speaking, Ling Yu interrupted: "Is it an undercover agent or an assassination?"

The warden, following closely behind the police officer, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. What kind of mission could possibly involve undercover work and assassination!

The police officer was also dumbfounded by Ling Yu's answer and immediately replied, "It's a protection mission."

"You're too slow to react, let the leader say it himself." Ling Yu crossed his arms, propped up his feet, and exuded a sinister aura.

"Haha, did you know I'd be here?"

The door of the interrogation room creaked open, and a hearty voice echoed. An imposing elderly man strode in with a smile, his already bright camouflage uniform seemed to gleam even brighter, his epaulets shining, radiating an air of overwhelming strength.

"If you don't come, I'm afraid no one will be able to get me out of here," Ling Yu said with a smile, looking languid.

The leader looked at the police officer and said calmly, "Give him the file bag. This kid doesn't like to dawdle."

Ling Yu took the file bag, inside were only four things. His expression showed his displeasure.

"Leader, aren't you being a little unfair? You're sending Hua Zi away like this!"

Ling Yu said dissatisfiedly, although he was very capable, he didn't reach the point of being indifferent to the world.

"Give me the file bag. I'll have someone else take over this task. You can continue enjoying your wonderful life at Yonghen Prison." The leader pretended to snatch the file bag from Ling Yu's hands.

"Humph, playing mind games with me? I'm game!" Ling Yu smirked inwardly, then tossed the file bag towards the officer.

"Jail warden, could you please open the door for me? I need to go back and rest."

"Huh?"

Everyone was taken aback, especially the prison warden. He had clearly heard the police officer's assignment for protection and also heard Ling Yu's refusal. Logically speaking, going out to perform a protection duty would be better than staying in Yonghen Prison. Why did Ling Yu refuse?

Yes, big brother, I'll go right away.

The warden was very cooperative, dabbed his forehead with a sweat-soaked hand, and quickly walked toward the gate.

"Halt!" the leader shouted, his voice booming. This warden was too bold for his own good, did Ling Yu possess such charm in Yonghen Prison?

"I'm telling you to stand still too," the chief said helplessly, seeing Ling Yu still strolling leisurely in the courtyard.

Ling Yu chuckled upon hearing this, thinking he wanted to play mind games with me. Even if you're the chief, it doesn't work. "What else is there, Chief?"

The leader made a firm decision. Normally, he would have fought with Ling Yu to the end. But this mission was extraordinary. Besides Ling Yu, he couldn't find anyone else suitable.

"Well then, for this mission, what else do you require?" The leader stared at Ling Yu, as if he were about to devour him.

"Details of the mission, and safe transport to the mission location."

"Is that all there is to it?"

The leader stared at Ling Yu in disbelief. In his view, Ling Yu usually asked for a lot, but this time he was being too modest?

"That's all there is to it." Ling Yu smiled faintly, looking harmless. "Does the chief not intend to give me extra compensation?"

"That's it!" The leader pretended to be serious, but inside he was delighted. Ling Yu's request was too easy to fulfill; he felt like he was dreaming.

"Get on the helicopter, I'll explain everything in detail."

The leader spoke, and strode straight out of the interrogation room. Ling Yu and the police immediately followed.

As the policeman was leaving, he whispered something to the warden.

After the three leaders returned to the forest land, Eternal Mark Prison was immediately sealed off.

"Leader, what do you mean by this?"

Ling Yu hadn't received the information he wanted from the leader, but his escape route had been cut off.

The head honcho grinned at Ling Yu, "It's nothing much. Since you've already taken on the mission, you don't have to go back to Yonghen Prison for now."

Ling Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration. To leave himself an escape route, he ran to the police.

"Officer, I'm sorry about my attitude in the interrogation room earlier. Please don't mind it."

Looking at Ling Yu smiling and talking, the police officers suddenly felt like they didn't recognize him anymore. He was completely different from the rumored Dragon Scale King.

"It's fine..."

Before the officer could finish speaking, Ling Yu rushed forward and gave
her a big hug. A wave of warmth spread through him as he felt her embrace.

"You..." The officer was both surprised and angry, a blush creeping onto his handsome cheeks. He pushed away Ling Yu and walked straight toward the helicopter.

Ling Yu smiled a little. "Although it's the C answer, I think it's still pretty good."

"Boom!"

By the time Ling Yu had finished reminiscing, the helicopter was already airborne.

"Damn, old geezer, I haven't even gotten up yet!" Ling Yu blurted out directly, not caring at all who the leader was.

"Kid, everything you wanted is in this bag. The flight ticket is for tomorrow morning. At your pace, you'll be able to make it to the airport with a little more running. I'll contact you if anything comes up. See ya!"

The leader threw a file bag and said to Ling Yu with a smile, "You're pretty good at this, kid. You put up a fight! But remember, old dogs teach new tricks!"

"I see your grandpa!"

Ling Yu roared and leaped to grab the file bag. They knew the nickname "God-Slaying Demon" given to Lung Lin's rage, they also knew that it was directed at enemies, but they were good friends of Lung Lin!

When Ling Yu opened the file bag, he found an old brick phone and a lighter, along with detailed information about the mission.

"This old geezer is so heartless, he won't give me cigarettes or money. Next time, I'll definitely get double the payback."

Ling Yu looked at the mission information after, and burned it all with a lighter. This is what a lighter is truly for.

"By the way, airplane tickets are in higher demand now."

Taking out the airplane ticket, Ling Yu could still see clearly in the darkness. Several keywords made Ling Yu roar again.

"New City... 8 o'clock flight... It is now 1:05 AM..."

"I'm going to your grandpa!"
