Top-Tier Superpower Student

Lin Tian was surrounded by a crowd, unable to get out. In the end, with no choice left, he shouted, "Everyone, please don't rush. Although the healing potions are all gone, we will produce more overnight. If you want to place a pre-order, leave it with our staff. When we have produced the potions, we will reserve them for you."

"Great, I'll pre-order ten."

"I'll pre-order fifteen."

..., ...

They took out their bank cards and rushed towards the two staff members. Lin Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Half an hour later, the crowd began to calm down. They surrounded Lin Tian, chatting about life's aspirations one moment and future hopes the next. All in all, they were trying to make a good impression on Lin Tian, hoping for mutual support in the future.

Lin Tian had the least desire to be involved in such things. He wanted to introduce these people to Shen Mengyi, but seeing that she was also surrounded by layers of people, he sighed and braced himself to deal with the crowd.

Another twenty minutes passed before the people gradually began to disperse, and Lin Tian politely walked them to the gate.

However, as soon as Lin Tian reached the gate, he inexplicably sensed a murderous intent. He scanned his surroundings and spotted the middle-aged powerhouse at the Half-Step Condensation Mirror level.

The powerhouse knew Lin Tian's strength and didn't harbor much hope of killing him, but he still wanted to attempt a sneak attack—there might be a slim chance!

The reality proved that with Lin Tian, there was no such chance.

As soon as the middle-aged powerhouse saw that Lin Tian had noticed him, he knew he wouldn't be able to kill Lin Tian today. However, to shut Winston up, he still charged forward.

"Everybody, get back! There's an assassin! Stay a hundred steps away from me!" Lin Tian yelled. Then he activated his Ox Power Technique, converging his Neural Response Speed Ability onto his fists and striking at the middle-aged powerhouse.

As the powerhouse raised his fists to counter, their punches collided, producing a muffled sound. Lin Tian was then repelled eight steps backward, with the middle-aged powerhouse gaining a slight advantage.

At that moment, an invisible bullet flew towards the middle-aged powerhouse, who wasn't surprised and quickly dodged it. After making a few more symbolic attacks, he was forced back by Wang Ying's gunfire.

With the last bullet, the middle-aged powerhouse deliberately slowed down, allowing it to hit his left shoulder. He let out a cry of pain and awkwardly fled, clutching his wound.

Lin Tian sensed this odd behavior and was puzzled. The middle-aged powerhouse's attacks seemed feigned, as if they were for show, especially when it came to the final bullet fired by Wang Ying, which he could've avoided. Why did he get hit?

Lin Tian's brain whirred, but he still couldn't make sense of it. In the end, he concluded that this was clearly a conspiracy. This fake assassination attempt and the previous shadowing of Bu Mengting and himself must have been orchestrated by the same person.

The kind of conspiracy Lin Tian feared the most was the one that lingered over him; the longer it loomed, the more frightened he became.

"Ah, well, if the enemy comes, we'll stop them; if disaster strikes, we'll cover it. I just need to be more cautious from now on!" Lin Tian comforted himself quietly, though he had no real confidence.

This time, when the assassin attacked, Lin Tian knew it was a feint. The middle-aged powerhouse essentially chose to flee, but the bystanders didn't know that. To them, it appeared as if Lin Tian were invincible, his men possessing extraordinary marksmanship, repelling the assassin.

Consequently, the flattery began in earnest.

"General Manager Lin is truly valiant, and his subordinates are elite, one and all!"

"General Manager Lin excels in both civil and military affairs, Wang is full of admiration!"

"Those assassins really are blind to attack Manager Lin without considering whether they match up to him!"

..., ...

Lin Tian was utterly tired of hearing these words, but he could only smile and nod, silently acknowledging them.

Indeed, there should be more sincerity among people, he mused silently.

At three in the afternoon, Lin Tian managed to send all the people on their way. He let out a long sigh of relief, thinking that he would finally have a moment of peace.

But the ideals are plump, while reality is skinny.

Chen Lihui, sweating profusely, scurried over and reported, "Brother Tian, we sold out the eight hundred healing potions within five minutes, and now we have pre-orders for another five thousand three hundred. At this rate, Tianyi Pharma will expand fivefold on its current foundation within a year, and we can aim to become the world's largest company within three years."

Seeing Chen Lihui's foolish expression, Lin Tian felt like laughing. He thought to himself, do you even need to tell me that? I'm exhausted. Can't you report this later, or say something of actual value?

Clearly, Chen Lihui's purpose in coming to him was to say just that. Seeing Chen Lihui sweating thoroughly, wholeheartedly dedicated to the company, Lin Tian couldn't pour cold water on his spirit.

"Well, Lihui, keep up the good work. We all try hard, and we'll make Tianyi Pharma the largest in the world for sure," Lin Tian replied encouragingly.

"Yes, okay," Chen Lihui nodded firmly and said, "I'll arrange for the workers to continue producing healing potions right away. Sales aren't the issue now; production speed is."

```

"Pay attention to quality. I'd rather have production move slower than to have any defects in quality," Lin Tian instructed.

Chen Lihui nodded his head and left happily.

Lin Tian went to the office, thinking that now he could finally take a break.

Then, he heard a "thump" as Shen Mengyi, drenched in sweat, walked in. She was also extremely tired, bustling about so frantically that she didn't even knock and kicked the door open instead.

Shen Mengyi's entrance by kicking the door really gave Lin Tian a start. He had never seen Shen Mengyi lack manners like this before.

Right after that, Shen Mengyi threw a file onto Lin Tian's desk and said outright, "There are a total of sixteen contracts in here that all want to purchase from us. Take a look and if you agree, just sign. These next few days, I still need to discuss the specifics with them."

Lin Tian quickly signed, while saying, "If you agree, then that's good enough. Don't ask me about these matters in the future, you can make the decisions yourself."

Shen Mengyi glared fiercely at Lin Tian, turned her head and left, muttering as she walked, "Look at you, becoming a hands-off manager, leaving me, a woman, to deal with so much."

Although she complained verbally, she was full of motivation. This was her opportunity, an opportunity to potentially change her fate and that of the Shen Family. Tired as she was, she found joy in the struggle.

After sending Shen Mengyi off, Lin Tian once again plopped down on the comfortable sofa, but before five minutes had passed, Jiang Hui and Wang Ying walked in.

Lin Tian had to perk up and listen to what the two of them had to say.

Jiang Hui said, "I've been keeping an eye on the Ouyang Family and the Gongsun Family these past few days. I've noticed that they've been sending people frequently to the black market to recruit help. If I'm not guessing wrong, they are planning to make a move against us."

This was serious. Lin Tian became very alert and said, "Tell our brothers to be on high alert both day and night these next few days, keeping a close watch on the Ouyang Family, Gongsun Family, and any suspicious individuals. We must absolutely prevent anyone from getting into Tianyi Pharma and causing destruction."

"Yes, I'll give the orders right away."

Lin Tian added, "Tell them that if they do well in these next few days, they'll get double the salary. And for those who perform particularly well, there will also be bonus rewards."

In this world where everyone is drawn by profit, Lin Tian believed in leading his people with loyalty as the main drive and money as the secondary. Both were indispensable.

..., ...

Inside the Gongsun Family villa.

Gongsun Wudao and Ouyang Wuqing were both holding their faces in pain, wincing and grimacing. Lin Tian had slapped them several times, knocking out several of their teeth, and now their faces were swollen like a pig's!

Gongsun Wudao was the first to speak with a voice filled with boundless resentment, "Brother Ouyang, I can't swallow this insult. Lin Tian's Tianyi Pharma is booming. If this continues, what place will there be for the Gongsun and Ouyang families in Wu'an City? I have already gathered a hundred men. Tonight, we'll launch a night attack on Tianyi Pharma. If we can't kill Lin Tian, we'll at least burn Tianyi Pharma down."

Ouyang Wuqing said, "Your thoughts are the same as mine. There can only be one hero, and if Lin Tian grows stronger, we won't have any way to survive. I've also gathered a hundred men. Tonight, we'll burn down his Tianyi Pharma."

"Good, here's to our success," Gongsun Wudao extended a hand.

Ouyang Wuqing also stretched out a hand, and they shook hands firmly.

"Here's to our success!"

In the past, they had always harbored the intention to kill Lin Tian, but now, they didn't dare entertain such thoughts anymore. As long as they could suppress Lin Tian and not die at his hands, it was already a stroke of luck.

..., ...

At one o'clock in the morning, under a moonless and windy night, Ouyang Wuqing and Gongsun Wudao, each leading a hundred men and equipped with torches, fuel, and weapons, quietly approached Tianyi Pharma.

They had a plan in place; a surprise attack was their first move, and if that failed, they were ready for a direct clash. In any case, if one person could get into Tianyi Pharma and start a fire, it would count as a success.

Perhaps Ouyang Wuqing and Gongsun Wudao were intimidated by Lin Tian, for they stopped at the entrance and silently watched everything from behind.

The two hundred men, a dark mass, pressed against the gate of Tianyi Pharma, trying to climb over the wall. But the high wall of three meters, now topped with freshly added barbed wire, made sneaking in impossible—they had to charge through the front gates.

They were prepared; about twenty men carrying a log rammed forcefully into Tianyi Pharma's gate.

The gate seemed to lack any defensive strength and burst open with a smash, but the scene before them made them recoil in shock.

Because they saw the very person they least wanted to encounter.

Lin Tian.

At that moment, Lin Tian, holding a meter-long machete, was sitting erect and dignified a hundred meters from the gate. He wasn't surprised by their arrival; it seemed as if Lin Tian had been waiting for them to come.

On Lin Tian's left was Jiang Hui, also holding a large knife, and on the right was Wang Ying with his gun. Behind them were a hundred Tianyi Pharma bodyguards armed to the teeth!
