BXBX NOVEL Chapter 114 - 114: Getting Rich (8 updates)
Lin Zhen crushed Lou Qingfeng’s phone with one foot, and then easily picked up Li Tianhao’s space ring, looking down at the dumbfounded crowd below, he asked, “None of you can guarantee what you’ll get now, since Li Wanfeng didn’t articulate his promise. Does anyone want to make a move?”
The people below looked at each other. Except for Lou Qingfeng, who was about to take action, the others were uncertain about what to do.
“Since no one wants to do it, I’m leaving. Bye!”
As Lin Zhen finished speaking, the liquid metal around his waist transformed into a shield. He stepped onto the shield and started to rise into the air. “Lin Zhen, how dare you kill our young master! Leave your life behind!”
Lou Qingfeng, witnessing Li Tianhao’s miserable death, nearly fainted on the spot. As he saw Lin Zhen trying to run away, he completely disregarded everything and took off as well, stepping onto a flying disc and chasing after him.
Simultaneously, the five long swords on the flying disc rose into the air, chasing Lin Zhen like five guided missiles.
“Good! A spiritual mind master’s fight should take place in the sky. Let’s battle while moving!”
Lin Zhen raised his five flying knives into the air. Although the size of these knives was only about one-third of the long swords, he showed no sign of weakness. The knives and swords clashed non-stop in the air, creating a cacophony of noise. The two men had flown quite a distance in the blink of an Lang Tianxiao and the others behind them stared at the sky, speechless for a long time.
It turned out that Lin Zhen was a spiritual mind master. If such a person wanted to escape, they had no way of stopping him. As for this battle, they couldn’t get involved anymore.
The ten War Generals finally discussed and decided to go back to Base City.
They hadn’t been back for a long time, and they believed that the ten of them working together should be able to make it through the treacherous snowy ice road.
About ten minutes after the ten Advanced War Generals left the Zhao Dong Building, everything returned to silence.
“Crack! ”
A car door was opened from under a mound of snow.
“Ah ah ah! The air outside is so fresh, I almost suffocated to death.’
Su Na gasped heavily for a few breaths, then turned to Gao Feng, “Did the live broadcast succeed?”
“It did, Su Na. The online world is going crazy right now. Lin Zhen’s great counterattack was so exciting, just like watching a blockbuster movie! Our show has really caught fire this time.”
“That’s good. We didn’t come to Zhao Dong in vain. You should pack up your things, the snow will stop soon. We’ll head back to Base City too. Although the road will be a bit rough, our car is tougher than a turtle shell. If we take our time, we should be able to make it back in a week.”
“Sounds good and let’s get going. Hehe, when we get back, I’m sure I’ll get a promotion.”
Gao Feng excitedly started the car, while Su Na took one last glance at the Zhao Dong Building, where the mutated birds were returning, feeling as if the gloominess had already dispersed completely.
Inside the Gale Martial Arts Hall, Zhao Siqing woke up weakly and immediately grabbed Li Wanfeng, ‘Where’s our son? How is our son?”
Li Wanfeng’s eyes were red as he shook his head, “My wife, you must control your grief!”
“Get lost! ”
Zhao Siqing slapped Li Wanfeng across the face, then glared furiously at Dongfang Jun, “Is this the kind of talent that comes out of your Gale Martial Arts Hall, Dongfang Jun? You better hand over Lin Zhen to me today, or I’ll demolish your Gale Martial Arts Hall!”
“You dare!”
Dongfang Jun slammed the table and stood up, dark gold aura flashing all around him, clearly enraged too.
Zhao Siqing was also surprised, not expecting Dongfang Jun to lose his temper.
“Li Wanfeng, Zhao Siqing! With the Great Divine Sect’s letter as a guarantee, I, Dongfang Jun, have already given you face and compromised with you. Yet you still keep pushing and challenging the limits. It was agreed from the very beginning that no matter the result, there would be no repercussions. If you dare make trouble in Gale once more, don’t blame me for wiping out your Wan Hao Group in Ice City!”
Zhao Siqing was immediately dominated by Dongfang Jun’s momentum and glanced back at Qin Yunfei and Liusu for support. “You two…”
Unexpectedly, Qin Yunfei, shaking his head, stood up and said, “My task here is already complete. Although I still resent Lin Zhen, I will keep my promise. I’ll be leaving.”
After saying this, Qin Yunfei left Dongfang Jun’s office.
Liusu also shook his head, “Brother Li, it would be best for you and your wife to think carefully. With a son like that, he would have been a disaster if he lived. We, the Dragon Slayers, will swallow our loss and not involve ourselves in this muddy water.”
After his words, Liusu followed Qin Yunfei and left Dongfang Jun’s office together.
As they opened the door, it was clear five or six War God-level powerhouses were standing outside. These were the reinforcements Dongfang Jun had quietly found during this time. Qin Yunfei and Liusu had felt the presence of these powerful people, which forced them to back down. Otherwise, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.
Without the support of Qin Yunfei and Liusu, Li Wanfeng and Zhao Siqing were no match for Dongfang Jun. The couple looked at the furious Dongfang Jun and the many War Gods outside in defeat, ultimately swallowing their anger for the time being.
As Zhao Siqing reached the doorway, she turned around and spoke to Dongfang
Jun, “Dongfang Jun, this matter isn’t over just yet. Don’t be too arrogant!”
“Then I must warn you, if you dare to lay a hand on Lin Zhen again, I won’t sit idly by. You’ll pay a heavy price for it.”
“I, Zhao Siqing, am not a fool either. I’ll definitely take revenge, but by then, I’m afraid not even you, Dongfang Jun, will be able to stop it. Let’s wait and see!
Li Wanfeng and Zhao Siqing left Gale Martial Arts Hall, leaving Dongfang Jun alone in his office, deep in thought.
This time, for the benefit of the martial arts hall, Dongfang Jun felt very sorry for Lin Zhen, but he believed that Lin Zhen would understand his decision. Although Lin Zhen was young, he did not give Dongfang Jun the feeling that he was a childish and impulsive youngster, but rather a shrewd old man.
Regardless of understanding, Dongfang Jun felt that he should make it up to Lin Zhen.
If Lin Zhen was previously his cultivator, now Lin Zhen’s status in Dongfang Jun’s heart had risen straight up, and he was his chosen successor without equal.
He pressed a bell, and the secretary entered the room.
“Bring me the liquid metal we have in stock. How much do we have left?”
“Master, we still have 18 kilograms of liquid metal, worth 3.6 billion. Do you want to take it all out?”
“3.6 billion… Take it all out. After all, it’s not for outsiders, and it still belongs to our Gale Martial Arts Hall.”
Dongfang Jun made a firm decision, and in a short while, the secretary handed him the 18 kilograms of liquid metal.
Looking at the heavy box, Dongfang Jun let out a sigh, quietly sitting in his office, knowing that Lin Zhen would not be long before he returned.
The wind and snow gradually stopped in the sky, and Lin Zhen’s speed was extremely fast, heading straight to Base City from his high school.
As for Lou Qingfeng, behind him, he had been left far behind, and his shadow could not even be seen now.
Although Lou Qingfeng was also a Spiritual Mind Master, and even a rare Golden Stage Spiritual Mind Master, his spiritual power had only just reached the Golden Early Stage, whereas Lin Zhen’s was at the Middle Stage, leaving a whole realm difference between them.
Under such a gap in realms, it was only natural that he could not catch up with Lin Zhen, but Lin Zhen had no intention of stopping and fighting him either.
Though Lin Zhen had stronger mental power, the other party was an Advanced War General. In a hard fight, Lin Zhen might not necessarily be able to gain an advantage, so it would be better to leave early.
Lou Qingfeng was furious, but he could do nothing about Lin Zhen’s speed. No matter how much strength he used, he could only watch Lin Zhen disappear into the horizon.
Moreover, their flight had alarmed mutated birds, so a group of mutated birds was chasing him from behind. He had to temporarily land and deal with the mutated birds first.
He didn’t know how to explain it to Li Wanfeng, but he had to return. The final outcome was up to Li Wanfeng’s decision.
After shaking off Lou Qingfeng, Lin Zhen flew at full speed back to Base City, making a detour on his way and entering the city from the south gate to avoid being discovered.
Upon returning to Base City, Lin Zhen did not immediately go home or return to the martial arts hall, but chose to rest in a hotel.
The hotel he chose was run by ordinary people who couldn’t access the Martial Artist forum and didn’t know about Lin Zhen’s fame. Although they lived in the same city, they belonged to entirely different worlds, with no interaction at all.
Upon arriving at the hotel, the first thing Lin Zhen did was to organize his spoils of war.
Although this trip to Zhao Dong was dangerous, it was also very rewarding.
Inside Lin Zhen’s space ring, there were the corpses and crystals of five or six B-level Mutated Beasts, as well as several C-level ones, worth about 1 billion in total.
In addition to these, the weapons and other items picked up from the dead martial artists were roughly estimated by Lin Zhen to be worth about 3 billion.
Of course, the most important thing was Li Tianhao’s space ring.
The ring itself was worth 4 billion, and the items inside were even more valuable. Li Tianhao didn’t lie; it turned out that he had a hobby of carrying large amounts of cash, and the cash and gold inside were worth more than 8 billion!
These items alone totaled more than 15 billion in value.
This didn’t even include the most valuable Star Weapon Long Knife.
Lin Zhen pulled out the Star Weapon Long Knife, the blade was crimson in color and weighed about two hundred kilograms, which was slightly heavier than his own Bright Silver Spear.
Moreover, when held in the hand, one could feel an inner heatwave, it was evident that this Star Weapon Long Knife could attach elemental attack effects, which is why Earth’s technology couldn’t create it.
“A lower-grade Star Artifact with the power of flame in it. If a high-level War General had such a knife, they could challenge a Primary War God. It’s a pity that it fell into the hands of Li Tianhao, a useless young master, and ended up benefitting me.”
“If I were to auction it off, the value of this knife would be between 7 billion and 10 billion, and many War God powerhouses would definitely be fighting for it.”
“However, the emergence of this knife was seen by many people, and I can’t just take it out and sell it. If the martial arts hall can give me a suitable price, I’ll sell it to them.”
On this trip to Zhao Dong, Lin Zhen had obtained nearly 10 billion in wealth and eliminated several people who wanted to kill him, which made him feel extremely happy.
Lin Zhen put away the long knife and had a good rest at the hotel for a day. When the sky was darkening, he left the hotel and headed to the martial arts hall, believing that Dongfang Jun must have something to say to him..
