"Thanks to 0 and Non-gate 0, 1679688968, Greed for Essence, and Yi Yao, as well as my siblings like Right Hand and Cold Autumn. Thank you all!"
Everyone has a past, some worth reminiscing, others hard to look back on.
Sun Wanhu is no exception.
In peaceful times, he was a flight instructor. This was a job with a salary that made others envious. Becoming the youngest lecturer at the university was the most glorious moment of his life.
Unfortunately, a woman ruined his life.
You could say it was because of love that Sun Wanhu fell into this abyss, unable to fill the woman's expenses with all his savings. In order to continue supporting her, Sun Wanhu even resigned from his public job to switch to the higher-paying private flight instructor and private driving industry.
Love is rarely eternal, with few exceptions.
Flying is ultimately a high-risk activity. To earn more money, an accident occurred during a night shift, resulting in him losing his flying qualifications.
Consequently, he also lost that woman.
There were no revenge plots as in novels, nor were there any encounters that led him to meet a worthy girl he could protect for life. He accepted this reality, although mentally, the shock left him somewhat deranged.
Until the apocalypse arrived.
He was found by someone and returned to his old profession, without needing any credentials.
In the following months, evolution and professional life seemed to bring Sun Wanhu back to a perfect life.
However, his mental state grew increasingly unstable, and he began to indulge in various women.
His friend once said that if Sun Wanhu could keep his private life in check, he would definitely be a three-star evolver by now.
Unfortunately, he spent many magic crystals on women and false flattery.
But at this moment, Sun Wanhu felt no exhilaration; instead, he experienced a coldness one only feels when soaring at high altitudes.
This man on the ground, with his battle pet, had killed the thunderous behemoth!
That creature was the divine hall's most precious creation, a high-end battle force promoted to many future clients, yet here it was, dead.
Grade 5!
How many Grade 5 creatures exist in the entire world? How many in the Ying City area? You could count them on one hand!
And yet… it was killed.
Sun Wanhu could almost imagine the fury of his superior when he returned.
What worried him even more was the person with a Grade 5 battle pet who had not even fought in this battle. What kind of strength could such a person possess? After this battle, it would be impossible for him to have a good impression of the divine hall. Just look at the injuries on their battle pet; they would likely become enemies from now on.
At that moment, Sun Wanhu regretted mentioning the divine hall's name.
Turning off the camera, Sun Wanhu knew he needed to return this footage. Even if it wouldn’t be something to brag about to clients, it could provide the organization with first-hand material.
Sun Wanhu pulled the control stick, and the plane smoothly began to turn around. He acknowledged that the humans and battle pets down below were strong, but to him at high altitudes, they posed no threat.
"You’re not bad, but next time, I’ll bring a level 6 beast. Prepare to die!" Sun Wanhu thought this sounded imposing.
After saying this, he looked down, only to suddenly see the human disassembling the thunderous behemoth running wildly in a particular direction with his battle pet.
Hmm? Did I scare him? Sun Wanhu amused himself for a moment, knowing this was impossible.
"Forget him, goodbye!" Sun Wanhu thought it through and decided to accelerate away. But suddenly, he felt something; he quickly looked up, his eyes widening in horror as the sky filled with red flames, engulfing him and his plane.
An explosion rang out above Ying City.

She and her Star Beauty Corporation had almost drained their entire fortune for this bow.
