Chapter 345: The End Here
"Junior Brother, it’s really been a long time since I’ve had your cooking." Chu Meng sat down at the dining table, her heart full of emotion as she looked at her junior brother. The last time she had eaten food prepared by him was at his home. Back then, she was still the Sect Leader of the Cloud Fund, but now she was in this villa, without the Cloud Fund, and so destitutely. There truly was a sense of how things had changed.
"Don’t worry, rest here for a while, and you can have the food I make almost every day." Hearing Chu Meng’s words, Lin Feng knew his senior sister was getting sentimental again and quickly changed the subject. In fact, Lin Feng understood that anyone in his senior sister’s situation would be tangled up facing such events.
"Haha, I just fear that, with me eating your cooking every day during this time, I’ll gain weight." Chu Meng felt better after hearing her junior brother’s words. Eating meals with him was indeed a happy affair, and his cooking skills, truly inherited from their master, were absolutely delicious and full of flavor! If she kept eating her junior brother’s cooking, she would surely gain weight because his food was just too good for her to control her cravings.
"No problem, if that happens, I’ll just make some diet food. It’s an easy task."
"There’s such a thing as diet food?"
"Of course, there is, and it tastes pretty good too."
"This is really the first I’ve heard of it."
...
Lin Feng and his senior sister chatted while they ate, mainly aiming to comfort Chu Meng. The loss of the Cloud Fund had hit her hard, and now she was being hunted. Faced with such problems, her senior sister’s mood must be very low, so the most important thing for him now was to help her relax.
Before they knew it, time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two hours had passed as they ate and talked, and without realizing it, every dish on the table had been devoured.
"Senior Sister, rest assured, if we have to, we can start all over again. Everyone who has wronged the Cloud Fund will have to regret it." Seeing that Chu Meng’s mood had improved greatly, Lin Feng felt better too. The purpose of what he had said in the past two hours had been achieved. What remained was planning the details. Since those people dared to target his senior sister’s Cloud Fund, he would help her no matter what, ensuring they would regret messing with it for a lifetime.
"Hmm, I feel at ease with you here, junior brother. But could you get me a computer? When there’s nothing to do here, I could use it to pass the time and also to start planning anew, to make a new roadmap for myself." Chu Meng was in high spirits now; talking with her junior brother had lightened her mood and relieved her stress. She could treat this period as an extended vacation, the perfect time to plan her new future.
"Sure, I’ll go out and buy you a computer immediately, as well as your ID and other essentials. I’ll get everything sorted for you, including buying your bedding for the night." Lin Feng reassured her upon hearing this. It was good that his senior sister had come to terms with everything. He needed to go out and ask Zhou Yang to arrange a set of identification for her. Buying all of these things in one go was convenient, and this would also allow his senior sister time to rethink her plans for the future.
"Junior Brother, thank you for taking care of all this!" Chu Meng was moved to the point of being at a loss for words when she heard what her junior brother planned to do. After the incident, her junior brother had brought her all the way from Kenya in Africa to Tianhai, and now he had everything arranged perfectly for her. Having such a junior brother was truly the luckiest thing in her life.
"There’s no point in saying all these words to me. I’m your junior brother; it’s my duty to do these things! Let’s leave it at that for now; I’ll go out and handle these issues. You should also take a rest. Maybe watch some TV to pass the time. After I finish with these matters, I’ll come back and cook dinner for you." Lin Feng chuckled at his senior sister’s words. She was his senior sister, after all, and it was only right for him to do all this. Now that they had finished eating, he better head out and sort out his senior sister’s needs first, so that later on she could go out on her own.
...
Meanwhile, in his office, Max Dorrell was working when his phone suddenly rang with a video conference call signal, puzzling him. Why would they suddenly call a meeting? He wondered what was up with his brothers, but there wasn’t time for overthinking. He walked to the room designated for video conferences and activated the system.
"Boss, how come you’re here?"
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
...
The other brothers of the Tianying Society found it very bizarre today. The boss, who hadn’t shown up for a while, suddenly made an appearance. Wasn’t he off cultivating? Why was he suddenly calling a meeting? What was going on, what had happened? Everyone was looking curiously at the boss on the screen, hoping the boss would tell them what had happened. Something important must have occurred, otherwise, the boss wouldn’t have interrupted his cultivation for a meeting.
"Old Four, who exactly is that woman you were dealing with? What’s going on here? The two experts I sent are dead! The latter, Li Daqi, was a AAA-level expert. How could he be dead too?" Tianying Society’s boss, Li Zerui, was also extremely puzzled. This kind of situation really shouldn’t have happened. He knew the strengths of the two experts he had sent; they both had secret medicines from the Li Family. Killing them wasn’t something an average person could do. At least, someone of the same level as them couldn’t do it. So what was going on? Both men had clearly died in Kenya.
"Boss, I also don’t know the specifics. According to what I heard from someone who used to be around Chu Meng, the most formidable bodyguard she had was only an AA-level early stage expert. The rest were all A-level, and they all died when the plane crashed. Chu Meng was the only survivor. But then, a mysterious young man appeared, and by the timeline, it should have been him who killed Li Dongtian. However, I don’t know what happened to Li Daqi..."
Upon hearing the boss’s words, Max Dorrell immediately started to explain to the boss what had happened in Kenya. No one knew the details of what had occurred, and it was from a General named Karo that he learned of a mysterious young man appearing by Chu Meng’s side after Li Dongtian had been killed. Analyzing the situation, it was likely that this strange young man was the killer. That’s why they had asked the boss for more men, and had Li Daqi go to Kenya to continue pursuing Chu Meng.
But Max Dorrell didn’t know what had happened to Li Daqi. Jack couldn’t contact him and was still waiting for his news. If it weren’t for the boss mentioning his death here, Max Dorrell would have been oblivious. But the boss’s words were shocking. The death of Li Dongtian was already unbelievable, and now Li Daqi was dead too—what was going on? Who was this young man by Chu Meng’s side, and how could he be so powerful...
"What?"
"Ah!"
"Two experts?"
"They’re dead?"
...
The other brothers of Tianying Society couldn’t believe what the boss was saying. AAA-level experts, sent to assassinate Chu Meng, were killed instead! This was... simply inconceivable. How could AAA-level experts just be killed like that! The boss had previously explained to the brothers about cultivators, how AAA-level experts were virtually invincible in the Secular World, and how people of this level were basically active in the Secular World. As for the even higher S-level existences, they rarely revealed themselves, but their exceptional power was beyond anyone’s imagination when they did.
However, now everyone was curious about this young man who had appeared by Chu Meng’s side. How was it possible for him to be so powerful as to kill AAA-level experts? It was truly exaggerated. When did such powerful figures appear in the Secular World...
"So that’s how it is. It seems we must find a way to identify the person by Chu Meng’s side to clarify the situation. But for now, Old Four, you better behave yourself. The National Special Operations Department has already gotten involved, and they’ve called every Family Head of the Prominent Families, telling them not to meddle in Chu Meng’s affairs anymore. Since they’ve stepped in, we can’t send more experts. Otherwise, if any unpleasant incident arises, nobody can bear that responsibility."
Li Zerui, after hearing Old Four’s call, also understood what was going on. It must be a problem with that young man who had appeared by Chu Meng’s side. It was bizarre; there was no young man so formidable in the Secular World. Even among these Prominent Families, only the Young Patriarchs might have a chance of killing a AAA-level expert. But these Young Patriarchs couldn’t possibly have any connection with Chu Meng, much less show up in a place like Kenya. So who was this young man?
What was even more shocking was that the National Special Operations Department had been alerted, and though this department was a secretive sector of the government, it was tasked with dealing with cultivators. No Prominent Family would dare overlook their authority, for no matter how powerful a Family was, it was suicidal to fight against the state machinery!
"As for Chu Meng, let’s put that matter to rest for now. We’ll find another opportunity to deal with her later. By the way, Old Four, how did the brothers fare this time?" Li Zerui made a final decision, asking the brothers to cease their actions against Chu Meng. Attracting further attention from the National Special Operations Department would only complicate matters. Besides, they had already managed to dissolve Cloud Fund, and everyone had obtained substantial benefits from this operation. That was enough for now. As for Chu Meng, they’d find a way to handle her if she surfaced again.
