Chapter 484 - A Mans Decisiveness (1/2)
In a villa on the outskirts of Shengjing, Zuo Lin tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically, there was a smile of surprise hanging on his lips. His slightly slender but incomparably bright fingers stared at the constantly changing data on the screen thoughtfully as he mumbled to himself, “Qin Fen!? Interesting! These youngsters, who had interest first instilled into them since childhood actually chose to oppose their families for him. How interesting! I didn’t expect Qin Fen to have such rare leadership and affection. If such a person is under my control, then in the future…”
“You… won’t have a future.”
The door was slowly pushed open as a chilling murderous intent so cold that it felt like the wind from the north pole had flooded the room. A young man, holding a scarlet lance, was standing in the dim-lit corridor! A nauseating smell of blood was wafting from the tip of the spear as bright red blood dripped down the ground along the tip of the spear.
In the darkness, a pair of youthful brown eyes flickered with inexplicable fierceness. Scorching hot true energy was erupting from his body but the energy field around him was extremely cold. He was like a lone wolf that had gone hungry for several days in the wilderness, its cold gaze alone was enough to make people shudder.
A cold killing intent swept the entire room!
Zuo Lin, who was sitting on the comfortable office chair, turning it left and right, rested his chin on his palm as he looked at the West Asian Mourad with interest. “Are you one of Qin Fen’s avid followers? I didn’t expect you to come so quickly, but what is even more surprising is the fact that you actually found me. Although I haven’t hidden my whereabouts, the fact that you found me in less than twenty hours is still a bit surprising.”
Snap! Zuo Lin snapped his finger as a bright and sunny smile spread on his lips. “You are truly amazing! Do you want to kill me for Qin Fen? What a touching friendship! But I wonder how valuable this friendship of yours is in Qin Fen’s eyes? I hope it’s very valuable…”
Zuo Lin tilted his head and thought before he said, smiling, “Although it was originally an impossible thing, now that you are here, I should give you a lesson on life at the very least. The only time something can be guaranteed in this world is when interests are involved. As for friendship? It’s the most useless, as well as the most insecure thing in this world! I have seen too many of these so-called ‘friends’. They usually shout slogans like ‘I am your brother’, they will shout for you and be moved. But when the moment to really show support comes, even if they only have to pay just a dime every day, all of them will choose to retreat! This is what friends are!”
Mourad, staring coldly at Zuo Lin, asked indifferently, “Are these your last words?”
Zuo Lin smiled as he waved his wrist lightly and said, no longer paying any attention to Mourad, “Catch him, I want him alive.”
The two statues-like martial artists standing behind Zuo Lin rushed towards Mourad, who was by the gate in unison with a shake of their figures. Fierce aurae of power dispersed the cold and sharp chill that had flooded the room when Mourad opened the door in the blink of an eye.
The aurae of three martial dao master intertwined together for a while. The ground under Zuo Lin’s feet quaked and his body shook like a willow catkin that could not bear the slightest amount of force. This left him no choice but to retreat out of the villa.
Zuo Lin was quite aware of how much damage could a fight between martial dao masters cause. He crossed his arms before his chest as he gazed at the villa which had already been reduced to rubbles, watching the fight between the three martial dao masters with an appreciative smile hanging on his face. He nodded frequently as he said to himself, “Qin Fen, I am looking forward to your next performance. Will you be act smartly and sacrifice your arm, sacrifice this young martial dao master, or would you stupidly give me some stupid excuse to come and rescue him?”
The expensive villa was reduced to rubble in the blink of an eye. Traces of a huge battle between martial dao masters could be found just about everywhere. The ground seemed to have been plowed by dozens of tractors back and forth several times.
The police were doing the cleanup and investigation work but the perpetrators had long disappeared into thin air. Everyone could only look at this amazing destructive power in admiration. The martial dao masters indeed deserved to be called as powerful war machines.
The Sacred Martial Hall’s special helicopter slowly landed over a pier in Hawaii before Qin Fen and the others filed out and looked up at the dazzling sun.
As someone who had entered the Sacred Martial Hall twice, Qin Fen no longer enjoyed the privilege of being able to take the Sacred Martial Hall’s special helicopter to travel to his desired destination. Yang Lie and the others could be considered to have been slightly implicated. They were also thrown in Hawaii, no longer to be transported.
“Where will we find Zuo Lin? Where is Zuo Lin now? Where is Mourad now?”
Everyone glanced at each other and found the same question in each other’s gaze.
Whether it was Yang Lie or Solomon, everyone was used to having the support of their families. Whether it was money or information, they never had the need to trouble themselves for it. If they want to know something, they just needed to make a phone call. As long as the family could find the information, it would be sent to them at first notice.
For instance, Zuo Lin’s location, what was his most likely position now? Before, all they needed to do was wait close by. They could wait there for Mourad before he could attack and stop him.
Yang Lie smiled bitterly. A slight wry smile also appeared on Solomon’s usual poker face. Only after they had opposed their family did they discovered that apart from their martial strength, they had only ever done only a few things on their own.
Caesar smiled. His smile wasn’t bitter but rather, he was really smiling in happiness. Everyone else was the prospective successor of their families or going to be an important pillar in the future, but he was different!
Caesar! He had truly inherited the helm of Europe’s Alexander Family. Although he may have less than twenty hours left before he was out of the leadership position, he could still mobilize the entire family resources of Alexander Family for now. It wasn’t difficult for him to investigate the general location of Zuo Lin.
At least, it could still be calculated! A general direction. Besides, he could find news regarding Mourad, not just regarding Zuo Lin.
“Dear Leader Caesar, have you come to regret the loss of the huge Alexander Family now that you contacted us? You are no longer going to continue fighting for that stupid friendship, are you?”
On the screen was Caesar’s aunt who still appeared young and beautiful. Her long blonde hair was curled up like a dowager’s. Her deep cleavage was particularly noticeable in contrast to her slightly lean figure.
“Dear aunt, my friendship isn’t stupid. As for the Alexander Family, do you think I, Caesar is on the losing end? I will become a divine beast martial artist in the future, and in a divine beast martial artist’s eyes, the Alexander Family is nothing. In fact, it’s the Alexander Family who will have lost a future divine beast martial artist and several other future divine beast martial artists just because of your stupid view of interest.”
“Hehehe…” Caesar’s aunt raised her hand to cover her mouth as she laughed like a noble; the mountains on her chest shook with her laughter. She slightly raised her chin and said, “My dear nephew, can divine beast martial artists be mass-produced? Since you didn’t call me to tell me that you are regretting your choice, why did you still contact the family?”
“Divine beasts can’t be mass-produced but they can be produced in concentration.” Caesar raised the corner of his eyebrows slightly and straightened his waist as a confident aura of power radiated from him. In Caesar’s aunt’s eyes, he suddenly grew taller. “This time I contacted because I am still the patriarch. I still have command over the family. Now, I order the family to immediately mobilize all forces to find out the whereabouts of two people. One is Zuo Lin, and the other is a West Asian soldier who had once entered the Sacred Martial Hall to train and had left the Sacred Martial Hall not too long ago, the fifteen-star martial dao master, Mourad.”
Caesar’s aunt pursed her cherry red lips into a faint smile. “Okay, my dead patriarch. We will notify you immediately once we find the news. Of course, the premise is that if you are still the patriarch of our Alexander Family.”
Suddenly, Caesar discovered that he had done something very stupid. When the entire family knew that I could not manage this family, almost all the people, who believed interest is everything, would have sided with the aunt at first notice, right? Although they could not resist the order of the current patriarch, it was still possible to delay by slacking in work.
As for the punishment of the current patriarch? Caesar smiled. After twenty-some hours, those punishments would be reduced to nothing. And those who had been punished might get a promotion due to this punishment. Today’s punishment order was the means for their future promotion.
Qin Fen smiled. They might have martial strength but their condition wasn’t any better than a blind man’s. The large forces had their various advantages, because of this relationship the Elysium and Inferno of Saturn not just have martial artists. Also because of this, a variety of talents had emerged, such as the Mysterious Daughter of Nine Skies who stayed at the foot of the mountain for a long time.
“Dragon Hall, perhaps it’s a good choice.”
Qin Fen sunk deep into his thoughts. According to Ma Juntie’s introduction, the development of the Dragon Hall was extremely rapid. Under the integration of Zhang Xiangyang, Dragon Hall was no longer purely a gathering place for martial artists but had become a gathering place for all kinds of talents.
Internet hackers, financiers, military talents, and all kinds of talents were converging to the Dragon Hall for various reasons.
A crisp ring interrupted Qin Fen’s chain of thoughts. As he started the projection screen, a young soldier wearing the ranks of colonel on his shoulder, the rising star of the army, the regimental commander, Colonel Zuo Lin appeared before his eyes.
Qin Fen, looking at Zuo Lin in the projection, had to admit that this young soldier from such a prominent family, who had a high degree of attention in the army, seemed to be in hearty spirits today as if he had encountered something to be happy about.
“Qin Fen, I wonder if you are still busy with the assessment objective.” Zuo Lin smiled as he looked at Qin Fen. “I received a gift not too long ago. After careful consideration, I found that this gift may be more suitable for you. So, I decided to give this gift to you. Are you interested?”
Zuo Lin said in a self-satisfied voice. He lightly clapped as the camera slowly turned to the corner of the room.
Mourad! His entire body was covered in blood. Dozens of wounds from blades, kicks, and punches could be found on his body. He looked tired. His arms were tied behind his back, lying on the ground flat; he was unable to move even a bit. A mottled red spear was stuck in the ground next to his neck.
