Lanling looked at the man in the suit in front of him and said, "Did Li Yizheng send you?"
"Don’t ask so many questions, just co with us." The suit-clad man replied.
Then, several weapons simultaneously aid at Lanling’s head. Next, two other n stepped forward to grab Lanling’s arms and pushed him into the car.
Three rcedes s500s drove towards the suburbs outside the city.
Along the way, the people in the car remained silent, their right hands tucked inside their sleeves, weapons consistently aid at Lanling, ready to fire at any mont.
After driving for dozens of miles, they entered a mountain, winding their way up to the top.
There stood a castle!
Of course, it wasn’t a traditional Western castle, but a modern building with a faux-aged effect.
The entire castle stood atop the mountain, along with the garden, covering more than two hundred acres. Though it imitated a Western castle, it was quite exquisite and mysterious.
Lanling clearly saw three helicopters parked at the castle.
Compared to Lin Hao’s luxurious villa, this faux-aged castle was on another level entirely; the difference between the two was like night and day.
Inside the castle, everything was old-fashioned and almost devoid of any modern traces.
The soft wool carpets, the antique-style wallpaper, and the famous paintings hanging on the walls made one feel as if they’d traveled back to 18th-century Europe.
Even the crystal chandeliers here were made to resemble candle flas.
The entire castle was about thirty ters high, equivalent to ten stories, and the banquet hall just inside the gate spanned ten stories, covering over a thousand square ters, exuding an understated luxury.
Walking up the stairs, not a whisper of sound was made on the soft carpet.
Finally, they stopped in front of a door, and the man in the suit stepped forward to knock.
"Mr. Li, the person has been brought."
Monts later, the heavy door opened.
Lanling noticed not only was the doorknob golden, but even the decorative patterns on the door were gilded.
Upon entering, he saw Li Yizheng lazily sitting behind an antique desk.
Beside him was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian woman in a luxurious short dress, clipping a cigar for Li Yizheng.
Another Asian woman in a white long dress was pouring him wine.
The rings, dresses, shoes, bracelets, earrings, and other adornnts on these two won were all worth no less than fifty thousand each. They truly looked like won encrusted with gold.
Li Yizheng took a puff of his cigar, then pinched the chin of the Caucasian woman, turning her towards Lanling, saying, "Which do you think is more beautiful, her or An Lan?"
Lanling glanced over, and he had to admit that the Caucasian woman in front of him was ticulously beautiful, easily rivaling the supermodels in those European and Arican advertisent films, Dior girls, Chanel girls, and so on.
"Beautiful won are a kind of resource, a precious resource, an extre luxury for ordinary people." Li Yizheng said, "But for , beautiful won are just an ordinary resource. I value social status that matches mine, wisdom, character, clean family background, and a clean foundation more. So An Lan is very precious to . But to you, she’s just a great beauty. I have plenty of such great beauties. Won who pour wine for , light cigarettes for , they’re all such great beauties. Because to , they’re just numbers, monetary figures."
Lanling remained silent, but although the two exquisite won showed no facial changes when they saw Lanling, their breathing beca a lot more rapid, and the temperature of their breath noticeably increased.
So n spend money to seek won, while so n, like the one before him, not only don’t spend money on won but can even profit from them.
The Lanling in front of them was the kind of man that won would look at and want to sleep with.
"Lanling, all you want are beautiful won’s looks; any noble status, spotless past, to you, it’s a burden, isn’t it?" Li Yizheng said. "It’s like a poor man with nothing to eat; for him, the best food is braised pork, not truffles or caviar, right? If you give him those things, he’d wonder what the hell they are, so fishy and slly?"
"So, braised pork for you and truffles for ?" Li Yizheng laughed. "You can choose one of the beauties around . The one clipping cigars, pouring wine, making the bed, take your pick, you can take her away, I’ll foot the bill."
Lanling responded, "An Lan is not mine, and you can’t make a deal with ."
"Right, I certainly didn’t think to make a deal with you; I’m just having a long, intimate chat with you." Li Yizheng said, "You offended today by snapping the arm of one of my n. At the ti, I was very angry, and I thought to myself, you’re dead, no matter who you are or where you co from; you’re dead if I want you to be. But when I got ho and had a drink, I cald down instead. Beauties are a luxury, and aren’t heroes the sa? A master of martial arts is also a luxury item."
Lanling understood that Li Yizheng wanted to recruit him.
"When you reach a certain point, you’ll find there’s no place to spend that money. You try your hardest to be different from others, but it’s hard. You get a castle, and he gets an estate in the desert, buys an island in so sea. You buy a Van Gogh, he gets a Monet. You stockpile a bunch of Maotai from the ’50s and ’60s, others get a pile of ’82 Sprite... Hahaha!" Li Yizheng felt he told a really funny joke.
"Look at those oil sellers in the Middle East, each one playing with tigers, leopards, and falcons," Li Yizheng said, "Everyone needs to show off. We’re the sa. The rarer sothing is, the more worth showing off it is. Tigers and leopards are nothing. Having a true martial arts expert by your side is worth showing off. That’s true prestige."
Lanling understood that Li Yizheng wanted to recruit him not as a celebrity, not even as a bodyguard, but as a pet to show off.
It was rare for Li Yizheng to speak so bluntly.
"So I had soone watching near Lin Hao’s place. If you died, then forget it, you weren’t strong enough, not enough to catch my eye," Li Yizheng said, "If you’re still alive, it ans you’ve defeated Song E, Nicholas, and Luo Ming, which ans your martial arts are already at a very high level, rare enough for to collect. So, I want to recruit you."
"From now on, you’re with ," Li Yizheng said, "You’re my person now. You can take your pick of the beauties around . As for An Lan, I finally found soone suitable for marriage, so don’t think about her, don’t have any contact with her, or the consequences will be very serious."
Li Yizheng continued, "From now on, you don’t need to do anything, just continue practicing martial arts every day. Rest assured, you won’t be put in any dangerous situations where you have to risk your life. Most of the ti, I just want you to show off. In certain high-end situations, you defeat so people, show off your martial arts, make others envy , that’s enough. As for the salary? Twenty million a year, with a 15% annual increase, a rcedes S500, and a clothing allowance of five hundred thousand a year."
Then, Li Yizheng hesitated, "Of course, as a man, you’re really too handso. If you’re willing to undergo surgery to beco a woman, I’d give you a very, very, very high bonus, no pressure, consider it. If you don’t want surgery to beco a woman, at least damage your looks a bit, you can’t outshine as your master, right?"
"Alright, you can go now, a servant will take you to a room, and tonight you’ll receive your first month’s salary," Li Yizheng said, "Tell which woman catches your eye, and I’ll send her to your room tonight."
At these words, the two stunning won beside him held their breath, filled with anticipation.
Lanling said, "Mr. Li, you want to keep in captivity?"
"It’s recruitnt," Li Yizheng said, "Of course, you can call it captivity if you like."
Lanling said, "Lin Hao’s house has a surveillance system. Everything tonight was recorded. Have you sent soone to remove the hard drive?"
Li Yizheng said, "Don’t worry, it’s been handled. Even if you did sothing outrageous, there wouldn’t be any evidence."
Lanling said, "I suggest you watch the surveillance footage before deciding whether to keep in captivity."
At this mont, there was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Li, the surveillance footage from Lin Hao’s house has been retrieved," a bodyguard said.
If this surveillance footage fell into other hands, the screen would be blank, but in Li Yizheng’s hands, everything was clear.
Lanling’s divine power made this easy.
Li Yizheng took the hard drive, plugged it into a computer, and as he watched, he laughed, "Trying to show your prowess to raise your price, right..."
Li Yizheng began watching the surveillance footage.
Seeing Lanling lightly tap Song E’s Danzhong Acupoint, sending him flying, Li Yizheng displayed an excited expression.
He was indeed a master, definitely worthy to show off.
Next, the rcenary master Nicholas used his Tungsten Steel Spiked Fist to wildly punch at Lanling, yet Lanling remained unscathed.
Li Yizheng’s face changed slightly, this... this seed sowhat unbelievable.
He had a rough idea of the power behind each of Nicholas’s punches, enough to kill a bull. Yet Lanling remained unhard, this... this was too bizarre.
However...
The next scene was terrifying, horrifying!
Even the two stunning won beside him let out a gasp.
Because, in the surveillance footage, Lanling caught a bullet shot by Nicholas with his bare hands.
Li Yizheng’s eyes narrowed, his heart skipped a beat, revealing an expression of imnse shock.
