Chapter 589: Zhu Tao Arrives (Fifth Update)
Young Master Wang had rushed to the airport early in the morning and booked a flight at 9 a.m., a direct flight from the Capital City to M Country.
Watching the throng of people, Young Master Wang couldn’t help but feel sentimental. He never thought he would see the day when he’d have to flee like this. It seemed like it was all fated. If he hadn’t interfered with the demolition matters of Lin Family Village and provoked Lin Feng, and later sent people after him, Lin Feng wouldn’t have chased him all the way to the Capital City.
No one expected that Lin Feng would turn out to be such a formidable person, to a degree that was inconceivable. Even Boss, an AAA-class expert, was easily defeated by Lin Feng; Young Master Wang even suspected that Uncle Li, an S-class expert, was killed by Lin Feng. Being able to kill an S-class expert proved that in the Secular World, Lin Feng had no equal, and even among cultivators, he was absolutely an extraordinary existence.
To be honest, Young Master Wang felt terrible inside. After all, his foundations were in his home country, and the power he had developed over the years was rooted there. The idea of having to leave without looking back was unbearable to him. He truly didn’t want to leave the Capital City, but given the current situation, he had to abandon everything and go.
With that thought, Young Master Wang shook his head. In the current circumstances, leaving was the only right option. With his grandfather interceding and his departure, even someone as powerful as Lin Feng wouldn’t be able to pursue him any longer. As long as he could keep his life, everything else was negotiable.
After watching the crowd in the waiting area for a while, Young Master Wang felt an indescribable sense of desolation. He picked up his phone and dialed Max Dorrell’s number; he would have to stay with Max for a while. Only if Boss returned or the Li Family sent another expert to kill Lin Feng could he safely return to his country, back to the Capital City.
"Brother Max, I’m coming to seek refuge with you." Young Master Wang’s voice was full of helplessness.
"Old Six, what do you mean?" Max Dorrell was planning to dine with a lady that evening; he was quite surprised by Young Master Wang’s sudden call. He thought to himself, what did Old Six mean by coming to seek refuge with him? What was going on?
"Lin Feng has already found my closest subordinates. If nothing unexpected happens, he will soon find me. I’ve already spoken to grandfather, asking him to handle this matter. But just to be safe, I still have to leave the Capital City." Young Master Wang briefly explained, emphasizing that he wouldn’t have left the Capital City if not for the circumstances.
"What! Lin Feng found you? Tell me exactly what happened!" Max Dorrell was shocked by Young Master Wang’s words. He had never expected Lin Feng to find a trace that would lead to Old Six. Old Six had a heaven-reaching background in his country, and his actions were always decisive, leaving no clues behind. How did Lin Feng manage to find Old Six? Without any information to go on, it seemed impossible!
Max Dorrell truly couldn’t believe that without a single clue or piece of information, Lin Feng could have found Young Master Wang. It sounded utterly impossible, but Old Six’s words meant that Lin Feng had indeed appeared in the Capital City. What on earth had happened? And the fact that Old Six had even asked his grandfather to step in meant that the matter had gotten out of hand...
"It’s true, Brother Max. Last night, Meng Tian, the most trusted among my subordinates, took poison and killed himself. It must have been Lin Feng’s doing. With Meng Tian’s company, Lin Feng could easily find me. I went to grandfather as a last resort, and now I have no choice but to leave the Capital City. It seems to be the best course of action at the moment."
"Old Six, if that’s the case, then come over. But what do you plan to do from now on?"
"What else can I do? I just have to wait for Boss and the Li Family to kill Lin Feng. Only after Lin Feng is dead can I return safely to the Capital City."
"Old Six, I have two pieces of news for you. I wasn’t planning on telling you, but... do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?"
"The bad news first."
"Boss was too eager in his training and has suffered from cultivation deviation. He has also mysteriously vanished."
"What! How is that possible? Boss is so powerful, how could he have suffered from cultivation deviation? What exactly happened?"
"I don’t know the details. This is the news that leaked from the Li Family, and it’s absolutely accurate."
"So that’s what happened. With Boss having issues, when can Lin Feng be taken care of! Frustrating! Without Lin Feng’s death, I basically can’t return to the country. What should I do... By the way, Brother Max, what is the good news you mentioned?"
"It’s like this, Old Six, the ancient ancestor of Big Brother is about to emerge from seclusion. If we can speak with the ancestor once he comes out, then no matter what kind of person Lin Feng is, his death is certain."
"What? How is this possible... How could the Li Family’s ancient ancestor think of emerging from seclusion? He’s been in closed-door cultivation for over a decade. Why would he suddenly choose to come out now? What’s really going on?"
"There’s nothing to be surprised about. If nothing unexpected happens, you won’t be staying here with me for long. When the ancient ancestor makes a move, he definitely won’t leave any survivors."
"This..."
...
Upon hearing Max Dorrell’s words, Young Master Wang was completely shocked and dumbstruck. He had never imagined that such changes could occur in these days—Boss becoming mentally deranged and disappearing out of the blue. How could this happen? The Li Family is a prominent family of cultivators; even in the Li Family, disappearing without explanation is too incredible.
While still in shock over Boss’s disappearance, Young Master Wang heard the great news about the ancient ancestor’s return from Max Dorrell, and he was overjoyed. If this was true, then the end of Lin Feng was near. He had heard from Boss before that the Li Family’s ancient ancestor was a master among masters, but no one really knew how powerful he was. If they could get the ancient ancestor to deal with Lin Feng as suggested by Fourth Brother, then Lin Feng would certainly be dead without a doubt.
In that case, it seemed he wouldn’t need to stay overseas with Fourth Brother very long before he could return to M Country. Thinking of this, Young Master Wang’s mood improved a great deal. Although he was worried about the safety of the missing Boss, what he cared about even more now was when the ancient ancestor would emerge and eliminate Lin Feng. Only then could everything return to normal, and he could continue with his previous affairs back in the country!
Having thought through all of this, Young Master Wang’s previously gloomy expression vanished, replaced with a happy demeanor. He even started humming a tune, pleased with the news from Fourth Brother. Young Master Wang figured he might as well treat the trip to Fourth Brother’s place abroad as a long vacation. After the death of Lin Feng, he could return to M Country, and everything would proceed as originally planned. Once he went to M Country, he would start arranging the subsequent events with Fourth Brother...
...
During the time Lin Feng was away from Tianhai, Huang Shi also missed him deeply. He thought about calling Lin Feng several times to inquire about the situation, but after deliberation, he decided against it. With Boss being such an extraordinary person, there shouldn’t be anything to worry about. As long as he took care of the things Boss arranged, he wouldn’t be wrong. Once Boss returned, he would surely be satisfied with Huang Shi’s handling of things.
Indeed, that’s exactly what Huang Shi did. From the moment Lin Feng left Tianhai, he arranged for the family’s bodyguards to split into several teams to protect the several sisters-in-law. During the day, he maintained his routine as before, studying French at Yingbo University and serving as a teaching assistant. At night, he would visit the family’s various shops and hotels, and he found life to be much more fulfilling than before.
Huang Shi initially wondered why Lin Feng enjoyed life at the university and teaching. His stint as a teaching assistant at Yingbo University now gave him a sense of what Boss felt. It turned out that the feeling of being a teacher was indeed pleasant. Huang Shi began to enjoy this profession as well and punctually attended his job every day, arriving early at Yingbo University.
On this particular morning, Huang Shi arrived at the school according to his usual routine. He was about to park his car when a thin, dark-skinned man stopped him.
"Bang!"
The high-performance Land Rover came to an abrupt halt as Zhu Tao appeared and firmly held the vehicle with both hands, preventing it from moving an inch...
"You must be Huang Shi, right?" Zhu Tao waited in the parking lot all night and finally caught sight of the Land Rover in the morning. Upon seeing the car, he immediately went up to stop it. If he was not mistaken, this young man was indeed Huang Shi. He had waited all night just for him and would not let Huang Shi leave so easily.
"I am. Who are you, and what do you want with me?" Huang Shi was startled by the scene before him. How could his Land Rover be immobilized by this slight man? This was too incredible. Could it be... Could it be that this slight man before him was a super expert? And even more incredibly, Huang Shi didn’t recognize this person. How could such a formidable expert come looking for him? Could it be... Could this super expert intend to harm him?
But then, Huang Shi sensed something odd about the man across from him. If this powerfully skilled man truly intended to harm him, he wouldn’t just hold the car in place—it was simple for a super expert to harm him, as he knew all too well from witnessing a fight between Boss and Wan Long. So, if this man bore no ill will, then why was he here? He couldn’t recall ever meeting this man before, let alone seen his face. What was going on, and who exactly was he, to be seeking Huang Shi out?
