Suddenly, the entire cell lit up, and for the first time, he revealed his face. It was a very handsome face, but with two knife scars, looking to be in his forties.

"Well said," the Black Dragon Platform expert said. "My name is Felix Newman. You are very smart, and it's a kind of cunning intelligence—I don't even know if using you is right or wrong."

Felix Newman, a very cool name, but not quite fitting for the Black Dragon Platform, and his looks were almost too cool as well.

"Gavin Clark, you have no parents, as if you sprang from a crack in a stone. And you've seen too much ugliness and deceit since childhood, so I won't tell you how loyal I am to the Empire, nor how loyal the Black Dragon Platform is to His Majesty the Emperor, and I certainly won't say that countless people in the Black Dragon Platform are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Empire's cause," Felix Newman said. "All of this, you'll see and feel for yourself in time."

Gavin Clark did not respond, but neither did he joke.

Felix Newman continued, "I am the highest official in charge of the Black Dragon Platform's mission in Lie Feng City, so let's just see how we get along for now. From today on, you, Gavin Clark, are my person, Felix Newman's person. You are now part of the Black Dragon Platform. I hope both of us will have the chance to prove the weight of these words."

Then he placed his hand on Gavin Clark's shoulder and gave it a firm pat.

Felix Newman's voice was very calm, but it was as if a fire was burning in his heart. Especially when he mentioned the three words "Black Dragon Platform," that fire seemed ready to explode, as if he was willing to give everything, including his life, for those three words.

Gavin Clark asked, "When do I go to Lie Feng City?"

Felix Newman replied, "In three days."

Gavin Clark said, "That soon?"

Felix Newman said, "Yes, that soon."

Time flows like water, the years pass like a shuttle, and the days when you can't show off fly by quickly. Three days passed in a flash.

Chapter 8: The Shameless Viper Gavin Clark

Three days later, outside Hanshui City.

Gavin Clark stood on a hilltop, gazing at this city that was both familiar and strange.

It had been three days since he crossed over, but he still didn't know much about this world. How should he describe his feelings?

"Since I'm here, I might as well settle in"?

He couldn't use that phrase, because he actually didn't have much attachment to Earth. He had no family, only lovers but no beloved. Otherwise, he wouldn't have resigned from a well-known top-tier hospital in the country and gone to some X Psychiatric Hospital in a place nobody had ever heard of.

Even though he was forcibly taken away, deep down he longed for adventure and the unknown.

Besides, he couldn't stay at that top hospital any longer—don't ask why, but three beautiful doctors were already planning to divorce their husbands for him. And a nurse, the hospital's beauty, had prepared potassium cyanide to force him to marry her; if he refused, she would die together with Gavin Clark.

It was clearly agreed that everyone was just playing around, but in the end, they wanted to marry me for life. It's all a lie—people just aren't sincere.

After coming to this world, aside from the initial shock and unease, Gavin Clark quickly became filled with anticipation.

As for the memories of this body's original owner, he didn't deliberately try to explore them. At most, when he saw this city, there was a slight stirring deep in his soul.

The original owner of this body must have lived in this city for fifteen years. Gavin Clark could feel a kind of hatred and reluctance.

"You're about to leave this Ning Tai City. Do you have any last wishes? Anything left undone? Anyone you haven't seen?" Felix Newman asked. "If you say it now, there's still time."

Gavin Clark thought for a moment and said, "I'd like to find even one person I could say goodbye to, but I can't find a single one."

Felix Newman said, "You really are heartless. That Mr. Li got into huge trouble, even disaster, because of you. If he hadn't protected you all these years, you would have been chopped to pieces long ago."

Gavin Clark said, "If I asked the Black Dragon Platform to help him now, to save him, would you agree?"

"Of course not."

Gavin Clark said, "Then that's that."

At this moment, a carriage came out of the forest path. Felix Newman said, "The carriage is here. Get going."

Without another word, Gavin Clark got into the carriage and finally took off his hood, letting out a sigh of relief. When passing through Hanshui City just now, he hadn't dared to take off his hood the whole time—too many people in this city wanted him dead, especially some beautiful young ladies.

He vaguely remembered a super-rich heiress, highly skilled in martial arts, who had tried several times to disfigure Gavin Clark, as if that would let her keep him by her side in peace.

What a joke—am I, Gavin Clark, the kind of man who lives off women? In our line of work, it's all about skill. I'd rather swindle money and hearts than live off a woman.

As he said this, Gavin Clark suddenly spotted a stunning, voluptuous figure in the crowd at the city gate. She looked strangely familiar, as if memories were about to surface.

And at that moment, the woman shot a piercing glance his way—it seemed to be that same super-rich heiress who wanted to disfigure him and drag him home to marry her.

Damn, damn, damn!

Go, go, go!

Too scary! Gavin Clark quickly shut the carriage window.

"Hurry up, drive..." Gavin Clark urged anxiously.

Farewell, Hanshui City. Aside from a few things, I won't leave anything behind.
