Chapter 416: Chapter 415: Thorny Difficulties
A few days later, Ye Fan had fully recovered. Aided by the Purple Jade and the Pure Yang Technique, he had successfully healed his injuries, and his cultivation now stood firmly at the Half-step Saint Level.
If the Supre Peak was the level of strength possessed by soone like Heather, then he was now at the critical point between the Supre and Saint levels—a state that could be called a Semi-Saint. He was just one step away from stepping into the Saint Realm.
Ye Fan knew that achieving another breakthrough would take ti. The path of martial cultivation grew more arduous the further one progressed. For soone of his age to reach such a realm was already a feat one in ten thousand in the eyes of others.
Therefore, he wasn’t in a hurry. With my current strength, I’ve already reached the pinnacle of the mortal world. At the very least, I no longer need to fear the Divine Dragon.
However, the Divine Dragon had neither launched an attack nor sent anyone to investigate, which greatly disappointed Ye Fan. Even now, he still couldn’t find their hiding place—a truly frustrating situation. To that end, he directly ordered all spies of the Heavenly King Hall to mobilize and search for them.
While recuperating, he enjoyed a period of peace in the secular world. His won were all by his side, and he was certainly never short of beauties.
Luo Ling had been away filming for so ti and had just returned, naturally missing him.
Regarding the incident at Luo Ling’s villa that night, he believed the key to the mystery lay with her.
So, he asked her, "Luo Ling, I need to ask you sothing."
"What is it?" Seeing how secretive he was being, Luo Ling genuinely had no idea what he was talking about.
Ye Fan continued, "It’s about the party at your villa. You must know who was in my bed that night!"
I’m almost certain it was Chen Zihan, the beautiful principal, but there’s a slight chance it could have been Luo Ling...
"I don’t know," Luo Ling refused imdiately.
"You must know," Ye Fan said, embarrassed. "Please stop playing coy with . Just tell ." He was getting desperate.
But Luo Ling simply replied, "Ye Fan, do you really want to know that badly?"
"Yes!" Ye Fan looked at her expectantly.
But Luo Ling just said, "Well, I’m not going to tell you."
"You..." Ye Fan pushed Luo Ling against the wall, clearly intending to pin her there.
But she just said, "Go on, if you’ve got the guts. Who’s afraid of who?"
Luo Ling switched from passive to aggressive, closing the distance between them. Ye Fan found himself backing away. Is this really the sa obedient Luo Ling I knew?!
"Luo Ling, don’t... don’t do this," Ye Fan stamred awkwardly.
Luo Ling replied, "Actually, there’s a good way to verify it. It just depends on whether you want to use it."
"What way?" Ye Fan asked.
"Why not test it out yourself to find out?" Luo Ling said assertively.
Ye Fan laughed sheepishly. "That won’t be necessary."
"Oh, it’s very necessary," Luo Ling insisted. "Otherwise, this will just keep nagging at you. You’ll never be able to forget about it."
"So, let’s start with ," Luo Ling said, pouncing on him.
Alright, as a man, my presence is completely overwheld by hers right now.
"Luo Ling, don’t ss around," he said.
But Luo Ling paid him no mind, though she was actually the most nervous of the two. This ti, she was determined to force him to submit, no matter what.
Just as Ye Fan was about to knock her unconscious, Luo Ling’s phone rang. She composed herself and answered the call. "Mr. Walker, what can I do for you?" she asked.
Walker’s awkward voice ca through the phone. "Miss Luo Ling, it’s nothing major, but could you help
arrange a eting with the King of Heaven?"
It was an odd situation. Walker, the representative for the massive Global International group in Divine Land, had to curry favor with an artist under his company’s banner. Anyone who saw it would have been shocked and suspected it was all a ruse. But it was true; Walker’s status was actually lower than Luo Ling’s. As a result, her career at Universal Pictures went smoothly, as Walker had to consult her on every matter related to her. Luo Ling glanced at Ye Fan hesitantly.
At that mont, Ye Fan took the phone from her. "Mr. Walker, what do you need?"
"Ah, Lord King! I was wondering if I could invite you and Miss Luo Ling for a al?" Walker asked.
As one of the world’s top industry tycoons, there were few people who could make him act so deferentially. Ye Fan was certainly at the top of that short list.
"Since Mr. Walker is extending an invitation, how could I refuse? Tell
the place," Ye Fan said.
"Oh, no, no, I wouldn’t dare presu!"
Walker was surprised that Ye Fan’s attitude hadn’t changed; he was just as approachable as before, putting him completely at ease. In truth, it wasn’t that Walker felt no pressure, but that Ye Fan simply wasn’t exerting any on him. After all, Walker had helped Luo Ling a great deal in the past, and Ye Fan was soone who knew how to repay a kindness.
With that settled, he and Luo Ling prepared to go to dinner.
Propelled by powerful financial backing and her own exceptional charisma, Luo Ling had quickly beco a top-tier star in the country. Under the protection of Global International, no one dared to make a move on her.
Once, a wealthy businessman who considered himself an old friend of Walker’s took notice of the stunning Luo Ling and decided to make a move. The result was tragic for him; Walker easily bankrupted him. After that, no one dared to provoke Luo Ling.
Luo Ling and Ye Fan discreetly made their way to the restaurant Walker had prepared. When they arrived, Walker was there to greet them personally. It was just the three of them.
Ye Fan imdiately slung an arm around Walker’s shoulders. "Mr. Walker, long ti no see! I’ve missed you."
"Lord King, you’re too kind!" Walker replied quickly.
At the dinner table, Ye Fan asked, "Mr. Walker, what did you need to see
about this ti? We’re old friends, so just speak your mind."
Walker glanced at Luo Ling uncomfortably.
"It’s fine," Ye Fan assured him. "You can speak freely in front of her."
With a troubled expression, Walker said, "I wouldn’t normally dare to bother you, Lord King, but this ti, Global International has encountered a formidable opponent."
"Oh?" Ye Fan looked at Walker with curiosity.
This was surprising, as Global International was no weakling. It possessed imnse capital and had few rivals in the world who dared to provoke it.
Walker continued, "The formidable enemy we’re facing this ti is Iron Blood Heavy Industry!"
"Isn’t that one of the world’s leading heavy industrial companies? Their business shouldn’t have any overlap with Global International’s, right?"
Ye Fan was familiar with the international ga-corporation. Iron Blood Heavy Industry was a force to be reckoned with. Over fifty percent of the world’s advanced heavy industrial sector was controlled by this company, and its financial power was said to be vast enough to rival a nation. He hadn’t realized there was a conflict between them and Global International. It seed his friend’s company had run into a truly difficult adversary.
