After the private room regained its peace, the atmosphere beca heavy and solemn.
Lin Da was surprised; Lin Rui was actually a senior mber of the Olin Club?
But when he thought about Fang Ranran, he ca to an understanding.
The things that ordinary people dream of, soone of Fang Ranran’s elite heritage wouldn’t even need to reach out for—others would proactively stuff them into their pockets.
At this mont, Lin Da also felt a lingering fear.
His face was as white as paper and he no longer dared to say much in front of Lin Rui.
...
Lin Rui didn’t continue eating or drinking either.
The recent unexpected event seed to have dampened the spirit of Battle Spirit No.
2; Ji Shenyan, having dispersed the fire lotus, handed back control of the body.
Seeing Lin Da’s expression, Lin Rui knew the topic of his sister and the Longevity would have to be dropped there.
No more could be asked from him.
He casually chatted with Lin Da about family matters, inquiring about Lin Da’s family situation and guided Lin Da to recall his parents from a few years ago, as well as the daily life and past of the two younger sisters and “Lin Rui.”
After the shock, this uncle seed to have lost his soul.
As long as it wasn’t about the Longevity or those hidden powers, touching upon Lin Da’s psychological defenses, he would answer whatever was asked.
From the information revealed by the uncle, it seed that their two families had grown apart a few years before the death of Lin Rui’s mother, so he didn’t know much about the three siblings, only that they were very close before.
As for Lin Rui’s parents, Lin Da knew quite a bit and spoke nonstop about them.
He expressed his pity for Lin Rui’s mother, asking how such an outstanding woman could have married the restless Lin Cong.
She should have been the dazzling pearl of the world, yet due to a misguided trust, she perished so young.
Lin Rui listened with great interest, but an hour later, Lin Da received a phone call and hastily left after making his excuses.
Before leaving, he also seriously pleaded with Lin Rui to be careful and cautious.
Lin Rui replied solemnly as well.
Having seen Lin Da engulfed in flas just now, Lin Rui couldn’t help but take it seriously.
What Lin Rui didn’t know was that as both were driving away from the Olin Club, Lin Da opened a video communication call in his own car.
The figure in the video projection turned out to be an elderly man with white hair and features sowhat resembling Lin Da and Lin Rui.
He was dressed in a major general’s uniform, exuding an air of solemn authority as he spoke sharply, “So you an to say, you did nothing?
Said nothing?
You neither persuaded them to give up the augntations nor took any action?”
“The problem is we couldn’t possibly convince him to give them up.”
Lin Da replied with a wry smile from the car seat, “Father, you know Lin Xi and the kid’s temperants.
He has been tirelessly devoted to martial arts, persisted for so long, and now that he’s finally achieved his current success, his monthly inco probably exceeds my annual salary.
Plus, he’s gotten close to Tianlan Group and the Fang family.
How could he let us manipulate him?
And—”
Before he could finish speaking, a ‘thud’ resonated from the other side of the video.
The old man on the other end pounded the desk with a fist, his voice and expression fierce, “Then forcibly remove his augntations and prevent him from continuing his cultivation!
Don’t tell you can’t do it?
Do you understand that by letting him go on like this, you’re leading him down a path to death?
Without the augntations, or even if he’s less outstanding after augntation, he would still be able to live well.
But now he’s only heading down the sa dood road as his parents.
What’s more, what if he’s got the backing of the Fang family?
I am Lin Rui’s grandfather; I can decide his future too.
The Fang family won’t turn against for his sake.
You’re just overly cautious, indecisive!”
Lin Da frowned slightly and then replied emotionlessly, “Father, Yu Wen Chitian implanted the 7S-grade fire secret technique ‘Karmic Fire Body Lotus’ inside .
It was triggered when I t with Lin Rui just now.”
“What?
He dared?” The old man initially looked shocked and furious, his eyes nearly splitting, then he asked doubtfully, “How did you survive?”
“It was Lin Rui.
He broke the ‘Karmic Fire Body Lotus,’ which is as high as 7S-grade!”
Lin Da’s eyes revealed incredulity, “I know it’s hard to believe, but I recorded a video.
You can take a look.”
The old man’s face was expressionless at first, but after a mont, his eyes revealed astonishnt and amazent, mixed with confusion, “How did he do it?
This is a 7S-grade technique and secret!”
“I don’t know, but Lin Rui’s strength may be much stronger than we anticipated.
At that ti, I sensed a very powerful abyssal aura, which is not recordable in the video.”
Lin Da closed his eyes, recalling the situation, “That must have been the Fire Deity!
That powerful concept of the abyss and martial intent made it impossible for my True Yuan thoughts to operate.”
“Impossible!” The old man snorted softly, his deanor skeptical, “Even if that’s the case, it couldn’t possibly be his own power.”
“But Xiao Rui is indeed very powerful.
Moreover, Tianlan Group values him highly.
Even when entering the Olin Club, Tianlan Group negotiated with the club to provide him with 5A-grade protection.”
Lin Da shook his head slightly, thinking how could they even consider using force in such a scenario?
The entire security departnt of Yongrong Logistics Support Co., Ltd.
couldn’t even assemble half of a 5A tactical squad.
What could they use to remove Lin Rui’s augntations?
Thank goodness he didn’t listen to his father, or he wouldn’t know how to resolve the situation today.
“Father, actually, letting Xiao Rui develop isn’t all bad.
His talent is really high, and with the financial support of live streaming, he could possibly catch up to your achievents within a few years.”
“Catch up to ?” The old man scoffed derisively, his expression dismissive, “What’s the use of catching up to ?
Even if his combat power is ten tis stronger than mine, what does that amount to in front of the Longevity?
Your sister-in-law was very strong.
Although she didn’t focus much on martial arts, her augntation rating reached 6SSS-grade.
What a level of combat power that is?
Do you know the terrifying bloodline that awakened in her?
How many SSS grade augntations she had?
Yet she was easily dealt with by those forces.
The twin goddesses’ combat power they talk about chased the abyss, yet they ended up broken and destroyed all the sa.
Do you realize how many Eighth Realm and Ninth Realm exist within the Longevity?
And our Lin family, we lack strength, authority, and wealth now.”
As he said this, his face turned ashen, and with a sigh full of infinite sadness, he added, “Forget it, if you are willing to let him be, I won’t bother anymore.
If you end up paying the price for him in the future, that’s your own issue.”
He then cut off the communication and disappeared from Lin Da’s sight.
Lin Da himself also frowned tightly, his eyes filled with worry as he looked out the car window at the ‘Shen Wing 520’ speeding away.
※※※※
Lin Rui didn’t drive himself on the way back; he used the autonomous driving system.
All the way, he was in deep thought, pondering over the words of Lin Da.
It wasn’t until the Shen Wing 520 was about to arrive at school that Lin Rui ca back to his senses.
He had not expected that just as things had cald down on the side of Tianji Star, another series of troubles had followed in the base city.
But it was nothing big, he would just take care of them one by one.
Lin Ru was the first one Lin Rui ssaged.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Sister Feicui, I’m on my way back to the club now.
Didn’t you want to see my martial intent?
Why don’t I show it to you now?
Heart of Feicui (Yu Feicui): No need, Little Rui, go about your business.
Lin Rui looked puzzled.
Sister Feicui had been very concerned about his martial arts extre intent not long ago; why had she lost interest all of a sudden?
What Lin Rui didn’t know was that, at this mont, Yu Feicui was in her office, watching a combat video of Lin Rui at the orbital station, feeling her scalp tingle and goosebumps all over!
The footage was severely distorted, but Yu Feicui could roughly guess the situation when Lin Rui drew his sword, through the surrounding conditions.
This guy’s sword speed was even faster, and his strength was even stronger!
Moreover, he had indeed cultivated the martial arts extre intent!
And it was a very powerful one, extrely sharp, extrely simple, and exceptionally extre!
Just looking at the sword light, one could tell that after piercing through the carriage, it even reached as far as 7 ters!
The problem was that this guy still hadn’t implanted a Golden Core.
“So fast!” At this mont, Fang Ranran was also in Yu Feicui’s office watching the video, and she couldn’t help but exclaim, “I really want to have a fight with him now, just to see the end of this one stroke.”
Yu Feicui turned her head and shot a sidelong glance at Fang Ranran.
Fang Ranran noticed the scorn in her eyes and imdiately felt both embarrassed and annoyed.
She guessed what Yu Feicui ant by that look was that she overestimated herself and wished death upon herself!
At this ti, Lin Rui was in the car, shaking his head and opening up the chat box of Fei Yunlai.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Old Fei, I heard you’ve been short on cash lately?
Fei Yunlai was looking through the rcenary website.
Unfortunately, there weren’t many truly lucrative tasks available.
Fei Yunlai didn’t want others to know that he was starting to do rcenary jobs within the federation and didn’t want to use his real na, so his current reputation level was zero.
A newcor would not be able to get good assignnts.
He hesitated for a mont, then opened an underground network.
However, Fei Yunlai hadn’t had the chance to browse before his smart housekeeper issued a warning, “Master!
The martial arts association of the federation values the career record of its mbers highly, and their intelligence capability is very strong.
Once you touch the darknet, you could lose your position as an executive of the martial arts association within a year.”
Fei Yunlai’s face twitched as he closed the underground network again.
The position as an executive of the martial arts association was very important to him.
When he saw the ssage from Lin Rui, he was startled and beca angry.
Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): What do you want?
Fei Yunlai’s tone was stilted.
Fei Yunlai knew Lin Rui must have noticed his predicant, but the kid should not be so rude as to rip open soone else’s wounds like this.
It was utterly impolite.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Are you interested in doing a job with ?
A dirty one.
Fei Yunlai raised his eyebrows, his irritation growing.
Dirty?
As in a shady deal?
This brat!
Did he really see him as so lowly?
He was Fei Yunlai, a dignified ch-armored admiral!
How could he consider doing such low-class work?
Then he saw another ssage from the other party.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): The target is the Iron Fist King of the Blood Lizard Gang.
You have two options: one is to share the spoils with after the job; the other is the old way, I give you 50 million.
Are you in or out?
After seeing this, Fei Yunlai was stunned for a mont.
