Lin Shiqi drove the red car steadily behind the black car, and they went unnoticed by the occupants of the black car all the way. After about half an hour, the black car pulled over in a secluded and deserted area. Lin Shiqi quickly found a concealed spot to park her car and observed the activity around the black car from a distance. Two men got out of the black car, and Wang Iron Bull picked up the black suitcase before following the two men into a dilapidated large house by the roadside.

"This doesn't seem to be their base." Qin Yan glanced around the area, seeing several rundown factory buildings that appeared to be part of an abandoned industrial area.

"Perhaps this is just a temporary meeting point, not their headquarters. That's good. Since this isn't their headquarters, we can safely track them," Lin Shiqi said, moving to the back seat and retrieving a curved wooden staff over a meter long from the back of the car.

"Why do you have a piece of rotten wood?" Qin Yan asked.

"Oh, this is called a wand," Lin Shiqi explained to Qin Yan, knowing he wasn't familiar with superpowers. "As magic practitioners, we need to manipulate nearby elements to cast spells. However, the environment doesn't always provide enough useful elements for us to use, so magic practitioners usually prepare some tools to help with using their abilities. For example, this wand is a fire wand. It contains a large amount of combustible elements that I can summon from the wand at any time to create flames. So, even if we're attacked later, we won't have to worry."

Qin Yan nodded. He had witnessed Lin Shiqi's powerful use of fire spells before and knew that fire magic was a potent weapon, even against multiple opponents. This meant they could easily handle any attacks they might face later.

The two got out of the car, checked for any surveillance, and then entered the warehouse building that Wang Iron Bull had gone into earlier. The warehouse was a deserted large warehouse filled with various large boxes.

Taking advantage of the cover provided by the boxes, the two stealthily entered the warehouse. In the middle of the warehouse, a group of people had gathered, around twenty to thirty individuals lounging lazily on the boxes, appearing sickly and dispirited.

"Look, Wang Iron Bull is over there. He seems to be talking to an old man. Let's get closer and listen to what they're saying," Lin Shiqi pointed to the two figures conversing in the middle. One was Wang Iron Bull, and the other was a man around fifty years old. The man had sparse white hair, dark and wrinkled skin, a thin and haggard figure, and a somewhat unattractive pockmarked face.

There were no guards stationed in the warehouse, so Qin Yan and Lin Shiqi easily approached Wang Iron Bull's area using the cover of the boxes. They could hear the hoarse voice of the old man saying, "Iron Bull, you should know that this divine medicine of mine has been crafted with great effort and using extremely expensive and rare materials. It's exclusively for use by members within the organization and never leaks out. It's a priceless treasure."

Wang Iron Bull hastened to reply, "Of course, I understand all that. But I really need this. Please, Master Ma, show me some compassion and give me the divine medicine. I will be eternally grateful."

The old man referred to as Master Ma by Wang Iron Bull had a solemn expression on his aging face, appearing somewhat reluctant as he pondered for a while before saying, "Alright, based on your sincerity, I can give you the divine medicine. But you should know, not everyone can use the divine medicine. In my opinion, your qualifications may not be sufficient, and you may not be able to withstand the power of the divine medicine."

Upon hearing this, Wang Iron Bull was taken aback and asked, "Master Ma, are you saying that I won't gain divine power after using this divine medicine?"

"Not at all!" Master Ma held his head high, exuding confidence, "Our organization's divine medicine will definitely grant divine power to anyone who uses it. You can rest assured about that. However, individuals with lower qualifications may experience some side effects after using the divine medicine. If you want to gain divine power by using the medicine, it's best to be mentally prepared for the side effects. Don't blame me later for not warning you."

"Are there side effects on the body from this divine medicine?" Wang Iron Bull pondered, recalling the morning's events and the humiliation he had suffered. He felt a burning rage within him, thinking that if he couldn't avenge himself, what was the point of living. He immediately declared, "Master Ma, I've made up my mind. As long as it grants me divine power, I don't care about any side effects!"

"Is that so? Are you really that certain? I won't be responsible for any consequences," Master Ma said with a hint of a smile, extending his hand towards Wang Iron Bull with a proud expression. "In that case, bring the money. It's a total of two million, not a penny less."

Wang Iron Bull was surprised and exclaimed, "Ah, didn't we agree on one million five hundred thousand? Why is it now two million?"

"You fool," Master Ma frowned and scolded Wang Iron Bull sternly, "The one million five hundred thousand was just for the materials. You should know that our divine medicine is not distributed outside. You must join our organization to obtain it. Including membership fees, referral fees, processing and transportation costs, and many other miscellaneous expenses, the total comes to two million. Pay up, and you'll get the divine medicine!"

Having said this, Master Ma's unattractive face displayed an extremely friendly smile, but his smile looked cunning no matter how you looked at it.

"But I only have this much money now. It was hard for me to get it from home, and I saved up for a long time to gather the one million five hundred thousand," Wang Iron Bull pleaded.

"I don't care about that. Rules are rules. If you don't have the money, I won't give you the divine medicine," Master Ma said firmly, his face showing no signs of compromise.

Hearing this, Wang Iron Bull started to panic. He pleaded, "Master, can you please make an exception? By the way, didn't you ask me for thirty thousand a few months ago?"

"That thirty thousand was for basic operational and communication expenses. Without that money, you wouldn't even be able to see me!" Master Ma said indignantly. "Stop wasting my time with your nonsense. Just tell me if you have the two million or not. I'm very busy, and I have a lot of things to attend to. Don't waste my time any longer."

"But I really don't have that much money. Please, Master Ma, have mercy and help me," Wang Iron Bull, driven solely by the desire for revenge, had completely lost his sanity and started to beg in a low voice.

"Do you really only have this much?"

"Yes, I really only have this much."

Master Ma let out a heavy sigh, shook his head with a look of resignation, and extended his hand, saying, "Well, I'll take a loss this time. Seeing how anxious you are, I'll make an exception for you. You can owe me the rest of the money for now, just hand it over."

"What?"

"Of course, money! I've never seen someone as foolish as you." Master Ma glared, speaking sternly.

Wang Iron Bull quickly handed over the black briefcase he had brought to Master Ma, saying, "There's one million five hundred thousand in here, Master. Please count it."

Master Ma opened the briefcase and saw a neatly stacked pile of banknotes inside. He closed the briefcase and said, "Alright, do you think I can't trust you?"

He picked up a small pouch beside him, took out a small glass vial containing a pale yellow liquid and a syringe. Using the syringe, he extracted the pale yellow liquid from the vial and said, "This is the secret divine medicine of our organization. Once this is injected into your body, you will soon gain divine power like us. You will become incredibly strong, have an invincible body like a diamond, undergo a rebirth, and possess divine power, surpassing ordinary humans!"

Master Ma's face lit up with excitement as he spoke vividly. Wang Iron Bull, upon hearing this, had his eyes light up, saliva almost dripping from his mouth in anticipation. He anxiously exclaimed, "Quick, help me inject it, inject it into me."
