"Uh…"
Jin Manfu was stunned.
He couldn't quite grasp Lord Crow's ideas.
Whether Master Jin, Mafia Boss, or famous entrepreneur, they were all untouchables.
Jin Manfu was self-aware.
He knew his position well.
Though seen as a wealthy tycoon by ordinary people, and as a top underworld figure by Street Punks and hooligans, he was really just a front and a money tool for others!
Every cent from his bars, KTVs, and Bath City had to be handed up!
Because he knew his role, Jin Manfu always followed the principle of "harmony brings wealth."
As long as money flowed, and those above earned, his status was secure.
Others shouting and fighting, once on par or above him, were long dead now.
He just needed to make money.
Thus, compared to other bosses, Jin Manfu preferred stability in Linjiang City!
So, when Su Bai asked this, Jin Manfu felt not excitement but deep fear — what kind of person was this?
Talking about becoming the underground king of a whole city!
This was Great Summer country, not America!
Swallowing other territories to be the underground king…
Did he want to challenge Great Summer's massive national machinery that even America fears?
He regretted contacting Su Bai.
Seeing Jin Manfu's fearful expression, Su Bai neither got angry nor disappointed.
Ambitious subordinates had ambitious uses; unambitious ones had unambitious uses.
The latter was always easier to handle.
He tapped the sofa armrest, smiling:
"Rest assured, I'm a genuine Great Summer native, with no intention of challenging the state machinery.
But… some future events require me to control Linjiang City's underground resources as much as possible."
"What events?" Jin Manfu asked instinctively.
Su Bai didn't answer, only tapped the table.
As Jin Manfu's attention fixed there… under his gaze, Su Bai bought a Gold Brick from the points shop and summoned it.
At that moment!
Jin Manfu's eyes widened!
As if witnessing the unbelievable!
No!
He truly saw the impossible!
Because just as he watched, attracted by Black Crow's hand tapping the table, a sealed Gold Brick appeared in his hand out of thin air!
"This…"
"This…"
"Lord Crow, is this magic?"
Jin Manfu stammered.
A term that only existed in online suddenly appeared in the real world—
a huge challenge to anyone with mature views.
Jin Manfu knew he was just a front and money tool, but he had real wealth, connections, and status.
He knew more secrets than ordinary people.
He knew that martial arts, inner power, superpowers, magic, spells… all were human fantasies that never existed—because he had spent great effort and money searching for them!
But now, Black Crow said that the way he summoned the Gold Brick wasn't magic but a spatial superpower?
Jin Manfu instinctively shouted "Impossible!"
Then his voice was cut off.
Because the next moment, his body floated up!
The heavy, nearly 200-pound man, usually unable to walk fast, was now rising higher and higher, floating to the hall's ceiling!
Looking down, he saw a green vine tightly wrapped around him, lifting him up.
The vine—impossibly present here—extended from Black Crow's right index finger!
…
…
After placing Jin Manfu back on the sofa, Su Bai withdrew Ivy Superpower.
He waited quietly.
Reconstructing worldviews takes time.
But Su Bai believed Jin Manfu, since satisfied and given a chance, would not keep him waiting long.
Indeed, just minutes later, Jin Manfu regained composure.
Though still shocked, he was no longer dazed and shouting "Impossible."
"Awake?"
Su Bai asked.
"Awake."
Jin Manfu nodded.
"Believe?"
Su Bai smiled.
"Believe."
Jin Manfu's expression was bittersweet.
The sealed Gold Brick appeared before his eyes, and the strong green vine from Black Crow's finger he felt himself.
The facts were undeniable.
"Superpowers really exist… no wonder Lord Crow is so strong…"
Even believing, Jin Manfu was still somewhat bewildered: "Why haven't we encountered them before?"
"Because before, Superpowers didn't exist."
Su Bai explained calmly, "Not just Superpowers—magic, spells, martial arts, inner power, Taoism, Buddhism… All supernatural factors are human fantasies, non-existent."
"Before?" Jin Manfu caught the key point.
"Yes, before."
"More precisely… before we returned."
With a mysterious smile, Su Bai began to tell Jin Manfu a story he had just made up:
"Do you believe in the existence of reborns?"
