Chapter 31: Saying Goodbye to An Ning
Translator: 549690339
Now, apart from Base City and the military, the strongest forces belong to the various martial arts halls, followed by the major families.
An Group is a large conglorate encompassing pharmaceuticals, military industry, dia, hotels, and other industries. The group’s assets are worth hundreds of billions, making it one of the top three wealthy groups in Ice City.
An Ning is the young mistress of the An Group. Lin Zhen was aware of this, but in his previous life, he only knew about it a year later. It’s clear that sothing changed in this life.
An Ning was the only girl Lin Zhen had ever loved. In his previous life, he rembered feeling sorry for An Ning when she did not take the physical exam for graduation. However, he later learned that it wasn’t that An Ning couldn’t take the exam, but rather, she simply didn’t need to.
As the young mistress of the An family, An Ning is a billionaire who does not need to struggle for a living. Besides, An Ning herself is very powerful.
An Ning is a Spiritual Mind Master!
The first person to discover this secret was Ouyang Yu. This kid indeed had so keen observation – he was the first to notice that An Ning possessed spiritual power, so he gave her a potion for spiritual power. Unfortunately, An Ning didn’t look him in the eye, and his potion was never given out.
When An Ning’s identity was later revealed – a stunningly beautiful rich lady, and a leading figure among martial artists and a Spiritual Mind Master no less – it created an image of an unreachable person, causing others to keep their distances.
In his previous life, Lin Zhen had no chance to be with An Ning. He never even dared confess his love for her. After Ice City Base City was attacked by monsters, he lost contact with An Ning. Until the ti he left Earth, he never heard from An Ning again.
The most probable explanation was that An Ning stayed in Ice City Base City forever.
This ti, he wouldn’t permit such a thing to happen again.
He drove straight to the front of the Flying Bird Fragrance Bar, parked the car, and entered the bar.
ng Dong was in a corner, head down and acting sneakily like a thief. Lin Zhen walked over and before he could say anything, ng Dong seated him down.
“Lin Zhen, look over that corner, An Ning is with a handso guy. I recognize that fellow, he’s often on the cover of financial magazines. He’s the young master of the Wan Hao Group, Li Tianhao, and it looks like he’s pursuing An Ning.”
“Wan Hao Group? Li Wanfeng’s group?”
“Yes, Li Wanfeng is this Li Tianhao’s father. Both his parents are War Gods, and although he’s about our age, he doesn’t seem to be a martial artist yet.”
Looking over, Lin Zhen indeed saw a young man holding a bouquet of flowers and talking to An Ning in a corner.
An Ning seed sowhat impatient, but she didn’t leave and remained there in silence.
Lin Zhen patted ng Dong’s shoulder: “Let’s go and take a look.”
“What’s wrong with the two of us?”
“That guy is very rich, we…”
“ng Dong, you are now a senior student of the Gale. Do you still need to be timid?”
ng Dong seemingly hadn’t adjusted his ntality yet. Hearing Lin Zhen say this, he realized that he wasn’t an ordinary person anymore. Suddenly, he gained confidence and stood up with Lin Zhen.
The two walked over to An Ning’s table. Lin Zhen took the initiative to greet her, “Hi, An Ning.”
“Lin Zhen? What are you doing here?”
Seeing Lin Zhen appear, An Ning’s beautiful eyes imdiately lit up, overflowing with surprise and joy.
“Today is ng Dong’s lucky day. He successfully consud his personalized potion. We ca out to have a few drinks and didn’t expect to run into you. You don’t mind joining us, do you?”
“That’s great! I know that success with a personalized potion isn’t easily achieved. Congratulations to ng Dong. I happen to be free, so I’ll join you for a drink.”
Saying this, An Ning pulled out a chair. Lin Zhen imdiately sat down next to her.
ng Dong, with no hesitation, said to Li Tianhao, “Buddy, scoot over and give so space.”
Li Tianhao looked at these two uninvited guests with disgust. He was upset that they were interrupting his mont.
Especially the one nad Lin Zhen, what gave him the right to sit next to An Ning? He himself could only sit across from her, and judging by An Ning’s reactions, she seed to have a favourable impression of him.
In Li Tianhao’s heart, Lin Zhen’s threat suddenly rose several levels.
However, Li Tianhao, who had seen big scenes, despite feeling disgust in his heart, did not want to reveal it in front of An Ning. As the young master of a large corporation, he naturally had ways to make these two unenlightened guys lose face.
Discarding his disgust, Li Tianhao put on a smile and asked An Ning, “Ah Ning, are these two your classmates?”
An Ning snorted from her nose: “Yes, they were my classmates in high school, and please, Mr. Li, just call by my na.”
“Oh, it’s fine. Our two families are so familiar, you’ve been like my sister since childhood, naturally different from others.”
After finishing speaking, Li Tianhao looked at Lin Zhen: “From your conversation, you’re martial artists?”
“Yes, we’re from Gale Martial Arts Hall.” ng Dong said candidly, knowing that Lin Zhen liked An Ning and that An Ning seed to also have a good opinion of Lin Zhen. As Lin Zhen’s good friend, he naturally needed to speak for him at this mont.
“Oh! Gale Martial Arts Hall, I’m very familiar with it. Our Wan Hao Group has hired many martial artists who have retired from the martial arts school. Among them, there are quite a few from Gale. You may not know so of them, but there’s one you should definitely be aware of.”
“Who?”
“Do you know Old Hu? Hu Yifei, he accepted our group’s invitation yesterday, prepared to leave the martial arts hall to join the Wan Hao Group as the vice-captain of the security team.”
“Old Hu is quitting the martial arts school?” Both ng Dong and Lin Zhen were taken aback. Of course, they knew Old Hu, the one who went to the First High School to recruit students and discovered Fu Chengya and others.
However, the performances of Fu Chengya and others at the martial arts school were completely overshadowed by Lin Zhen and ng Dong. Today, after ng Dong had his private customization success, Old Hu’s popularity was once again eclipsed by Zhao Liang
They never expected that Old Hu was considering leaving the martial arts school, and they had no clue about this piece of news.
Seeing the expressions of Lin Zhen and ng Dong, Li Tianhao beca more proud. He leaned back in his chair, tapping the table with his fingers, “Well, you martial artists, although you might seem powerful and lofty to ordinary people, to us you’re just ordinary. Firstly, both my parents are War God level martial artists. Coupled with the fa of our Wan Hao Group, as long as we offer a sufficient price, won’t you also just co running? Martial artists are also commodities. In this world, there is nothing money cannot buy.”
ng Dong seed to have been stunned by Li Tianhao’s words. In his eyes, martial artists of Old Hu’s level were unattainable, yet they could be poached and leave the martial arts school. This Li Tianhao’s influence was too formidable.
An Ning glanced at Lin Zhen anxiously, afraid that Lin Zhen might get angry with his opponent’s words. She wanted to speak up for Lin Zhen, but didn’t know what to say.
However, Lin Zhen just smiled: “You can’t say that you’re completely wrong. People are all different. There will always be so martial artists who give up their pursuit for money, but one thing will never change. Such martial artists will never reach the peak. They have lost the spirit of a martial artist. True geniuses would never do such a thing. In my eyes, such martial artists are no longer martial artists, they are rely slaves to money. Even if their strength is strong, it is aningless.”
Unexpectedly rebutted by Lin Zhen, a rookie who was only a student-level martial artist, Li Tianhao’s face changed. Then he sneered: “So you consider yourself a genius.”
“I wouldn’t dare to say that, but I wouldn’t say I’m bad either.” Lin Zhen rebutted without hesitation.
“Okay, I really didn’t expect soone to call themselves a genius. Well, you’re a student, right? I’ll let you see now what a student-level genius is.”
Upon saying that, Li Tianhao pulled out his phone and made a call, saying only a few words: “I’m at the Flying Bird Fragrance Bar, co over.” ng Dong couldn’t help asking: “Who did you call?”
“Hehe, don’t worry. You’re students, I won’t call a War General level martial artist to bully you. Let show you what a genius student is, and how they still work for our Wan Hao Group. Have you heard of the Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall?”
“Yes, it ranks ninth in Ice City.”
“Although the Blue Sky is ranked ninth, there’s a genius erging this year, Ma Dong. He’s studying martial arts with the help of our Wan Hao Group. He took the Genetic Potion with an excellent rating, and now he’s my personal bodyguard, currently a Level Nine Warrior. When he arrives, you can have a good discussion.”
ng Dong changed color. An excellent-grade Level Nine Warrior was practically the peak of warriors. Such a person surely had more potential than Old Hu, but to think he’d also beco the lapdog of so rich guy.
Seeing ng Dong’s expression, Li Tianhao, understanding the situation, felt smug and continued: “Ah Ning, you probably don’t know about the life of martial artists, but I have a group of martial artists working as servants at ho, so I know a little bit. These martial artists are risking their lives for a little money, fighting monsters every day. They might make a little fortune if they are lucky and find a lone monster, but if not, they may be eaten by monsters and not even their bones will be left. So, when choosing a spouse, martial artists are the least reliable. That’s why, even though I already have the strength of a Level Three War General, I don’t want to take the Genetic Potion. I prefer to manipulate everything behind the scenes.”
“Just take Ma Dong for example. If it wasn’t for our Wan Hao Group helping him, he would have starved to death on the streets long ago. But with our help, he succeeded. Now, he is a Level Nine Warrior, he’s still regarded as student-level, right? I wonder if the two of you can compare to him.”
An Ning wasn’t as ignorant about martial artists as Li Tianhao thought. Lin
Zhen knew that An Ning was already a Level Seven Warrior, and she was not
An Ning aranK tne spiritual Power Potion, she would soon promote to War General. Only, An Ning had not told anyone about this, so Li Tianhao had no idea.
In An Ning’s view, Li Tianhao called this Ma Dong over just to undermine Lin Zhen’s confidence. Lin Zhen was just a warrior, how could he surpass an excellent-grade Level Nine Warrior?
Even though Lin Zhen never said anything to An Ning, she didn’t want Lin Zhen to be upset. Rushing with the heat of the mont, she grabbed Lin Zhen’s hand: “Lin Zhen, let’s go out for a walk.”
Seeing the two holding hands, Li Tianhao’s face imdiately turned sour..
