"What do you mean?!"
"Bang—"
The door to the rooftop was smashed open, and Li Feng led his men in.
Xu Zhi acted as if he hadn't seen anything, just tilting his head with a smile and looking at Chuan Liu without saying another word.
Sitting on the railing, Xu Zhi suddenly leaned backward, and to everyone's astonishment, he jumped off the Cube Building.
Another generation of "Ten of Diamonds" has fallen, its blood staining the earth red, a truly shocking sight.

"Xiao Xu is the most talented of my apprentices. She can tell the origin and vintage of any wine just by smelling it. I'm about to retire and plan to pass my wine business on to her."
"Xiao Xu is a smart girl, but... I always feel that she doesn't use her talent in the right way?"
What do you mean?

"No rush, your teacher wants to work a few more years and mentor you all."

"No rush, let's wait a bit longer."

"...No, Xiaozhi, I'm willing to stand with you and be your shield!"
...
"Xiao Zhi, run! Don't worry about me! Jia Zuowei's men are catching up!"
"Ah Xian, I don't want you to die!"
"Xiao Zhi, hurry up, you still have our wine empire."
“…Okay… Ah Xian, I will always remember you.”
"..."
"Xiao Zhi, I love you."
