Chapter 19 Beauty and the Beast

Lin Xian took a deep breath, calmed himself, and began to tackle the three main missions before him.

First, he needed to figure out the truth behind the Millennium Stake. This mysterious and ancient item seemed to be closely related to Chu Anqing's disappearance. Lin Xian carefully recalled the previous clues and decided to start by investigating the origin of the Millennium Stake.

He went to an antique shop and inquired about the Millennium Stake from the owner. The owner was an old man who was knowledgeable about antiques. Hearing Lin Xian's inquiry, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. "The Millennium Stake? That's an extremely rare antique. It's said that it was made by a mysterious master in ancient times and contains powerful spiritual energy." The owner paused and continued, "But this thing is also extremely dangerous. It has caused quite a few casualties."

Lin Xian frowned, a few guesses vaguely forming in his mind. He then asked, "Then, what is its relationship to Chu Anqing's disappearance?"

The owner sighed and said, "I'm not too sure about that. But as far as I know, the Millennium Stake was once controlled by a mysterious organization. They have been looking for someone who can completely control it. Maybe Miss Chu was caught up in this."

Hearing this, Lin Xian became even more certain of his guess. He thanked the owner, left the antique shop, and decided to investigate the whereabouts of that mysterious organization.

At the same time, Lin Xian didn't forget the other two main missions. He began to investigate Einstein, wanting to uncover the true identity of the Genius Club president. After some inquiries, he learned that Einstein had been in contact with a mysterious woman recently, and the two were very close.

Lin Xian decided to observe this mysterious woman first. He carefully followed Einstein and finally found the woman's踪迹 at a high-end restaurant. He saw that she was tall and beautiful, exuding an elegant temperament in every gesture.

Lin Xian secretly observed for a while and found that the woman was indeed close to Einstein. They sometimes talked in low voices and sometimes smiled at each other, looking very compatible.

"Could this woman be the president of the Genius Club?" Lin Xian wondered. He decided to continue observing, hoping to find more clues.

At the same time, Lin Xian didn't forget to explore clues about the world-destroying white light. He returned to his residence and began to carefully study the data he had collected.

Through some analysis, Lin Xian discovered that the world-destroying white light seemed to have some connection with the Millennium Stake. He speculated that this mysterious energy might be released by the Millennium Stake, and that the mysterious organization was trying to use it to achieve some purpose.

Lin Xian fell into deep thought. To completely unravel these mysteries, he had to find the whereabouts of the mysterious organization as soon as possible and figure out their true purpose.

Just then, Lin Xian's phone rang. He answered the phone and heard a familiar…

(Continuing)

Lin Xian answered the phone and heard a familiar voice. "Lin Xian, it's me, Chu Anqing." Chu Anqing's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Anqing! You're okay, that's great. Where are you now? I'll come and save you right away," Lin Xian asked anxiously.

"I'm not sure where I am. It's very dark here, and I feel like I'm trapped in a closed space. But I can feel someone watching me. Lin Xian, you must be careful. The people in that mysterious organization are very dangerous," Chu Anqing's voice was full of fear.

"Don't worry, I will definitely save you. Take care of yourself, I'm going to find you," Lin Xian comforted her.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xian quickly packed his bags and prepared to leave. He had to find the mysterious organization's hiding place as soon as possible and rescue Chu Anqing.

Lin Xian went to the previously investigated clues and followed the trail all the way forward. He carefully avoided possible ambushes and finally arrived at a remote warehouse.

"This is the place," Lin Xian confirmed to himself. He quietly sneaked into the warehouse and carefully explored the surroundings.

Suddenly, a blinding white light flashed from the depths of the warehouse, causing Lin Xian to close his eyes involuntarily. When he opened his eyes, a tall figure appeared in front of him.

"Welcome to our territory, Lin Xian. We've been waiting for you," the figure said slowly.

Lin Xian took a closer look and realized that it was the mysterious woman. Behind her stood a stern-faced man, who was none other than Einstein.

"So, you are the masterminds behind the Genius Club," Lin Xian's heart sank. He realized that he had fallen into a carefully designed trap.

"That's right, we are the rulers of this world. And you are the one we've been looking for," the woman said with a cold smile.

Lin Xian's heart sank. He realized that he was facing great danger. But he had to find Chu Anqing's whereabouts as soon as possible and save her from danger.

Lin Xian's heart sank. He realized that he was facing great danger. But he had to find Chu Anqing's whereabouts as soon as possible and save her from danger.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Lin Xian asked vigilantly.

"What do we want to do? Of course, to rule this world," the mysterious woman said with a cold smile. "With the power of the Millennium Stake and the world-destroying white light, we will be able to control everything and become the masters of this world."

"But how many innocent people will be killed by doing this?" Lin Xian said indignantly.

"Innocent people? Hmph, in our eyes, they are nothing more than ants," Einstein said coldly. "As long as we can achieve our goals, what does it matter if we sacrifice some unimportant people?"

Lin Xian clenched his fists, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness. He had to stop these two lunatics and prevent them from carrying out their evil plan.

"You won't succeed. I will definitely stop you," Lin Xian said through gritted teeth.

"Oh, you really think you can stop us?" the woman said with a cold smile. "You are just an insignificant pawn."

After saying that, she waved her hand, and a group of people in black immediately rushed over and surrounded Lin Xian.

Lin Xian knew that he was now in a dangerous situation, but he did not back down. He quickly prepared for battle, determined to fight to the end.

Just then, a loud noise came from the other side of the warehouse. Everyone subconsciously turned their heads and saw a dazzling white light shooting out from there, directly hitting the woman.

"What?" the woman exclaimed, her whole body enveloped in white light, and then fell to the ground, motionless.

Einstein and the others were stunned in place, at a loss.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Xian quickly rushed over to find Chu Anqing's whereabouts. He finally found Chu Anqing in a corner, tied to a chair.

"Anqing, are you okay?" Lin Xian asked anxiously.

"Lin Xian, it's you!" Chu Anqing said in surprise. "Quick, let's get out of here."

Lin Xian quickly untied Chu Anqing and the two of them fled this dangerous place together.

Just as they were escaping, a loud explosion came from inside the warehouse. It seemed that the mysterious woman and her accomplices had been completely annihilated by that white light.

Lin Xian and Chu Anqing breathed a sigh of relief after escaping safely. They had finally escaped the clutches of that evil organization, but this battle had only just begun.
