Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Serke felt he was going mad. Ever since he had become a senior partner, and after painstakingly pursuing a young lady from the Gan family to finally secure a connection with a powerful family,

He had constantly been basking in the adulation of those around him, met with smiles and goodwill everywhere, surrounded by good people.

Even the heads of a few clans with higher status than himself would greet him with a smile and engage in small talk, asking after his welfare from time to time.

This time, being entrusted with such an important task was a clear sign of trust!

It was no issue having other senior partners around; he would show them respect, but just to a point. Without real benefits, it was obviously impossible to exploit others for personal gain.

This time, with the commission from the legislative assembly and the sensational news of a World Breaker's death to leverage,

Even senior partners like "Forceful Brick Flier" had to bow down to him!

At first, he was worried that the young man might not understand the rules, so he specifically used "Forceful Brick Flier" as an example to establish the rules.

Yet, he wasn't completely without mercy. Whatever the terms were, he had the final say. He could start by setting high expectations and then step back a little; once inside the prison factory area, he could still manage to skim a little profit.

Being able to involve a senior partner who had stayed so long in a captain's position outside the city, he must have saved up quite a bit, maybe even reaching a million.

If the senior partner was willing to intervene more deeply, that would be fine too. If they were willing to make a statement or show support at crucial moments, that could be very influential.

But he hadn't even started to lay out terms for the second batch of arrivals before he could bring up the pretext that it was "difficult to handle..."

The sudden attack left him utterly dumbfounded.

After the initial psychic attack and being restrained, he became furious, his face trampled upon, his body powerless and limp, filled with raging anger.

When he tried to move his foot, he grew even more furious.

But as the pressure on his face intensified, turning the pain into numbness, and he heard his skull begin to emit a sound of being overstressed, the other side slowly sinking towards the granite floor beneath him, he still blurted out a line befitting the situation,

"Grandfather, please stop stepping on me. You haven't given your demands yet, I haven't even replied to you, please stop..."

No matter what, don't suffer immediate losses.

The other party might have ambushed him, but the mental shock coupled with that strange control over him allowed him to quickly accept reality amidst a series of changes.

"Brother Li, say something!"

Serke began to pass messages to Forceful Brick Flier by his side.

Although Forceful Brick Flier was surprised that Tao Yu had subdued this guy in an instant,

He was just enjoying the show from the side, even feeling a bit of schadenfreude. This guy didn't show him face, now he's bumped into a tough character, serves him right!

But that guy was talking to him, which made it difficult for him to pretend he hadn't heard.

Then he casually said to Tao Yu,

"Brother Eight-Armed Vajra, just rough him up a little and that should be enough. You can't really kill the guy, right? After all, he comes with the commission from the legislative assembly, we have to give some face."

"Oh? I'm just a rough man who recently entered the Inner City from the outer city, not too familiar with the etiquettes."

As Tao Yu spoke, he continued to apply pressure. Only when he felt that the other party's skull could indeed not withstand it did he slowly lift his shoe off and wipe the blood off on the other man's clothing, cleaning his shoe.

The acupoint sealed by True Yuan was not released, and Serke slumped to the ground like a beaten wife, limp all over.

Hearing Tao Yu's words, his heart twitched, and a forced smile squeezed onto his swollen face.

"It must be Mr. Tao of the Eight-Armed Vajra, I'm truly sorry, not quite familiar with your character."

"What? Thinking of retaliating against me afterward?"

Tao Yu's expression darkened, and a chilling aura instantly enveloped Serke, causing a sense of suffocation that changed his complexion dramatically.

Domain?! How could that be!

He's so young! How could he have accumulated enough?

Could the Development Zone have a more convenient way to achieve this kind of integration?

Inner Power?! But he didn't dare voice this information, just stiffened his face and vehemently denied,

"How could I dare? You're an important figure in the Development Zone, I have nowhere to complain even if I wanted to."

"You still thought about complaining?"

"Never thought about it, never thought about it!"

Serke felt like crying, how could you be so unreasonable.

But after reflecting on this person's situation, he sadly realized that indeed, there was nowhere to complain.

He had facilitated the Suns in obtaining the Inner Power System.

If his Domain was really assisted in forming by the Inner Power System, then the value of this would be even greater!

His position would be even more secure!

If one's strength was stronger, if it was he who was repeatedly slapping the other party in return, the other party would similarly be unable to do anything to him, but the key point was being "inferior in skill"!

In a world where strength is paramount, that's the biggest mistake!

Disputes of words, offenses, they are all irrelevant; it's the size of the fist that truly matters!

Why was "Forceful Brick Flier," who was not familiar with him, able to come and make a deal? Because he was strong enough.

If he could effortlessly overpower me without causing destruction like this, then he would probably do so without hesitation...

At this moment, apart from accepting his fate, there was nothing else he could do!

"Oh? Then, how do you plan to handle this matter?"

"As for Tao Hu taking a leave, of course, it has nothing to do with him; absolutely nothing."

As he said this, he paused, but in the end, he still glanced at Forceful Brick Flier and continued,

"It's really unfortunate for Ze Chuan, it truly has nothing to do with him. He's willing to give up his position, let him find an opportunity to tender his resignation to take responsibility..."

Seeing that Tao Yu had subdued, Forceful Brick Flier could not continue to act the same way either.

"Thank you! Thank you, Brother Li, thank you, Nephew Tao Idle, thank you Captain Serke!"

Ze Chuan was overjoyed to hear this and kept expressing his gratitude.

He could never have imagined that a casual gesture of goodwill from the past would now bring him such a reward, allowing him to escape unscathed!

Even though he knew he was only incidentally involved, he still had mixed feelings.

"Hmm, then who will take over as captain? Aren't you in full charge?"

Tao Yu glanced at Serke, making Serke's expression stiffen.

But at this moment, Tao Hu came forward and said,

"Ah Yu, I'm not strong enough, I can't secure this position. I'm already quite content with my current state."

The captain of the security team in the Outer City indeed wields considerable power, but at the same time, he also faces various responsibilities and pressures.

For example, Ze Chuan had encountered such a predicament that left him trapped between a rock and a hard place.

Tao Hu himself was a relatively upright person and would not debase himself to make money, which actually wasn't very cost-effective.

Since his strength was genuinely lacking, being forcibly in this position, he could do nothing if he were humiliated like he was today by Serke.

Having support is one thing, but it's not for dealing with trivial matters; daily maintenance still depends on one's own abilities.

"Alright, let's leave it at that, Captain Serke, you can take your time choosing."

Tao Yu casually released the acupoints of Serke from afar and gave him a deep look,

"I'm from the grassroots of the Outer City and was aggressive due to my youth; I've offended you before. Please, Captain Serke, don't take it to heart..."

What Tao Yu said should have been conciliatory, but to Serke, it felt like a sudden chill.

The other implication of that statement could be 'I don't play by the rules much, and I have high talent, so you'd better tolerate me!'

But indeed, he could only do so!

"The previous captain had a grim end, killed by a madman, and the murderer hasn't been found yet. I hope Captain Serke can stay steady, as my family also lives here and I wish for a responsible security captain."

Tao Yu let out a somewhat wistful sigh, and after nodding at Li Da Zhuan Fei and Ze Chuan, he said to Tao Hu,

"Uncle Hu, if there's anything else, just come to me directly. I'll be around these days and will definitely get it sorted out before going back."

"Oh, alright."

Tao Hu was not the type to stand on ceremony at such times.

However, after hearing Tao Yu's words, Serke felt a deep chill in his heart. Why was Tao Yu bringing up the former captain and that madman?

This was definitely a threat!

After all, who could know if that 'madman' might suddenly come back to kill another captain?

But he had no choice but to succumb to that threat.

Great, I got beaten for nothing, and now I might even have to arrange special protection and prioritization for possible incidents involving his family and relatives, blaming them on me?

Dammit!

If I had known this was such a troublesome assignment, I wouldn't have taken it!

The 'Eight-Armed Vajra' certainly lives up to its reputation...

...

"Big Brother Tao is still so decisive and efficient..."

Wang Goudan followed Tao Yu home, still feeling a bit dizzy.

Simple, crude, yet highly efficient!

"I don't have that much time to waste here, but I didn't expect the Inner City clans to suffer such a loss this time. Ah, a World Breaker died, I wonder who it was."

Tao Yu let out a sigh, then went home with Wang Goudan. The food purchased at noon was enough; Tao Yu planned to return home to practice his breathing exercises and meditation.

But when he and Wang Goudan got back to their apartment, they discovered that visitors had arrived at their place.

Wang Goudan also curiously glanced at Tao Yu and said,

"It's people from the Longxi Clan."

Tao Yu nodded upon hearing this.

He was all too familiar with the Longxi Clan.

Since the first time he killed a Xi Chuang, the two sides were bound by a fateful connection.

That the Longxi Clan's old, middle-aged, and young elites had all died at his hands was quite a connection indeed.

He just didn't know what this visit was about.

Initially, he thought he might have been exposed, but then he realized that if he were exposed, they wouldn't come bearing gifts or approach him so openly.

All the old lizards died; how tough must they be...

When Tao Yu and Wang Goudan exited the elevator, they had already attracted the attention of the people inside the open door.

It appeared that the person was talking to Tao Long, and now seeing the two approaching, he walked out with a hearty laugh,

"Haha, our young hero is back! I am Xi Chuang, by title the head of the Longxi Clan, and I have come to pay a visit."

The head of the Longxi Clan came to visit in person?

That guy, whose foundation was damaged by Gu Qiu?

Tao Yu felt it was quite unexpected; what was he after?

Could it be that he wanted to buy shares in the 'Scripture Depository'?

Having just lost the Supreme Elder, they couldn't be so confused, right...

But then, his words started to baffle Tao Yu,

"Perhaps Tao Xian Nephew might find it strange, but the thing is, I've heard Tao Xian Nephew has not yet taken a wife. It so happens that I have a daughter, aged eighteen, who will soon enter the Development Zone. I am here to propose an alliance through marriage..."

Tao Yu looked at Xi Chuang's fierce lizard face with all his sharp teeth and couldn't help but think of the Xi Chuang he had encountered before.

Wow, this ugly and bold enough to propose a marriage?

Moreover, their family should be seriously affected by their hormones, very chaotic.

But wait, why 'propose'? Could it be that he wants me to 'marry' his daughter?

But then he thought about the old lizard being gone, the Longxi Clan without a World Breaker.

They either needed to consolidate their power or shift more towards the Development Zone, or else pick someone with the potential talent to become a World Breaker.

No matter how you look at it, he seemed to fit the bill.

Could it be that someone actually covets my beauty?

Tao Yu never would have imagined such a thing...

He really hadn't encountered such a proposal before.

His relationship with the young rich woman couldn't be exposed, nobody else caught his fancy, and nobody dared to come knocking without invitation.

But at least on the surface, the Longxi Clan seemed to have the credentials...

"Sorry, I prefer humans..."

Tao Yu did not hesitate and outright refused.

An ugly rejection...
