Chapter 724 741: Lin Mu's Support
Lin Mu's car quickly arrived at the building of Wang Aiai's apartment complex!"Do you want to come up for a bit?" Wang Aiai asked.
"No, I think I'll pass." Lin Mu waved his hand.
"Alright, I'll head home then. Drive safe on your way back!"
"Okay!"
Wang Aiai waved her hand, opened the car door, and headed upstairs, while Lin Mu started the car, drove out of the complex, and returned to the Lin Family Mansion. Upon entering, he found only Xia Yuyi at home!
"Why are you the only one at home? Where are those other girls?" Lin Mu asked as he entered.
"They haven't come back yet. Brother Lin, come sit down, I have something to tell you." Xia Yuyi looked like she had something on her mind and said with intention.
"Hmm? What happened?"
"I want to leave here for a while."
"Why?" Lin Mu sat down and asked.
"I just got the news today that there was an issue at the Dark Night Sect, and I need to go back to help. Once this is over, I'll come back!" Xia Yuyi said.
"What's going on? Is it about the Heaven and Earth Society?"
Xia Yuyi nodded, "Yes, the Heaven and Earth Society have started attacking our Dark Night Sect. They're hell-bent on destroying the Dark Night Holy Sect completely. This morning, several of our sect sisters were retaliated against by the Heaven and Earth Society. One of them died from severe injuries, and another was seriously hurt, so the situation is very urgent, and I must return to help!"
"Do you need my help?" Lin Mu asked.
"No, I can handle it myself!"
"Alright then, make sure to stay safe. Call me anytime if you need anything, and don't push yourself too hard!" Lin Mu said.
"Okay, I know, Brother Lin!" Xia Yuyi nodded.
In Wancheng West District, in the grand hall of Huo Yanggen's luxurious villa, Iron Bull from the Iron Bull Division was reporting the situation outside to the Sect Leader,
"Sect Leader Huo, Hall Master Yang Litong is dead too. Today, Lin Mu from Flying Dragon led over a hundred people and wiped out Yang Litong's entire force. Yang Litong also died at Lin Mu's hands!"
Huo Yanggen smiled faintly, took a light sip from an antique porcelain teacup, "Heh, just as I expected. Ever since Yang Litong provoked Lin Mu, he was destined to meet this end!"
"Sect Leader Huo, Lin Mu really has some genuine skills. I must say, he's quite talented. The four Hall Masters have been in the underworld for forty to fifty years, they've all become sly old foxes, yet this young hothead took down all Four Great Hall Masters. Impressive!" Iron Bull said.
"Heh, Lin Mu is indeed talented and highly capable. That's why, unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't get into a conflict with him. Back when Han Si Hai was dealing with Lin Mu, the Han Family approached me multiple times, wanting me to join forces against Lin Mu. At that time, Lin Mu was relatively vulnerable, but I remained neutral because Lin Mu's background is anything but simple." Huo Yanggen said.
"He just has a fiancée named Sophie, right? What's so complex about that?" Iron Bull wondered aloud.
"Heh, Sophie? She's just a minor role. The real formidable force is what's behind Lin Mu. It's rumored that his grandfather is a terrifying old guy!" Huo Yanggen reminisced about the old man he'd met once, whose fearsome prowess made Huo Yanggen repeatedly commend him.
That's why, all along, whether Lin Mu with Han Si Hai, Chen Shiwei, or now the Four Great Hall Masters, regardless of whom he conflicts with, Huo Yanggen has remained neutral!
His principle is, if you all want to cause trouble, go ahead, it's none of my business. I'll just focus on developing my own power and try to avoid conflicts with them because he understands Lin Mu's strength!
Lin Mu is that old monster's grandson, so how could he possibly be simple?
"Old guy? What old guy?" Iron Bull, uninformed, asked.
"As for his identity, I'm not sure, and, truthfully, I can't find out. But the deeds he's done are absolutely legendary and shocking. Years ago, there was a world-renowned Wild Goose Base Organization on the United States soil, hunting down heads of state and moguls around the world, quite the powerhouse at the time. However, when the Wild Goose Base Organization clashed with this old guy in Huaxia, both sides engaged in fierce battles. Despite the Wild Goose's elite assembly, this old guy single-handedly eradicated them, and even more thrilling, in the end, he personally went to the United States and destroyed the entire base. That event caused an absolute sensation at the time; everyone in the underworld knew about it. But this old guy was exceptionally low-profile, so much so that even his identity remains unclear. I only met him once!" Huo Yanggen marveled.
Hearing Huo Yanggen's words, Iron Bull couldn't help but express his amazement, "Single-handedly, in the heart of the United States, wiping out the most powerful base organization? My God, what kind of concept is that?"
"Heh, doesn't it sound a bit mythological? But it's the truth, an unbelievable truth. Otherwise, how could he be called an old monster!" Huo Yanggen laughed.
"So, what you're saying is, Lin Mu really can't be messed with?" Iron Bull said.
"Not that he can't be messed with, but if he stands to harm our Heaven and Earth Society's interests, then we must confront him. However, we won't actively provoke him, though the aforementioned old monster supposedly won't interfere with Lin Mu's matters!" Huo Yanggen stated.
"So we don't need to fear that old monster! Oh, by the way, Sect Leader, why did you say he wouldn't interfere in Lin Mu's matters?" Iron Bull asked again.
"It's simple. Because this old monster is grooming a little monster. Do you really think a talent could just arise out of Wancheng? I reckon it's all that old monster's design. Unless it's a critical life-threatening moment, the old monster won't step in, because everyone, including Han Si Hai, Chen Shiwei, and even the Four Great Hall Masters, are just practice targets to train Lin Mu into a talent. After all, this old monster is already old, and no matter how awesome someone is, he can't resist aging and death, so naturally, he needs a successor!" Huo Yanggen explained.
"Looks like Lin Mu isn't a simple character after all. I mean, how could someone from out of town, with no background or strength, manage to take down Han Si Hai and Chen Shiwei, who've been entrenched in Wancheng for so many years!" Iron Bull nodded.
"That's why we should try to avoid conflicts with Flying Dragon. Right now, Flying Dragon's strength is quite formidable, filled with many experts, and their financial resources are remarkable. More crucially, their connections with the government are very complex!" Huo Yanggen said.
"But Sect Leader Huo, what if one day Flying Dragon goes against us?" Iron Bull asked.
"Heh, if they really want to challenge us, we certainly won't back down. Although Flying Dragon is powerful, our Heaven and Earth Society will absolutely not allow anyone to trample on us. We may not provoke Flying Dragon, but if they tread on us, then we'll throw the shit right back in their faces!" Huo Yanggen said with an exceptionally domineering tone.
