39: Chapter 39 Tianwu Building

"Protector Luo, the matter has been investigated!"

When Han Ming was having his Breakthrough, inside the office of Third Protector at the Black Water Gang headquarters, a subordinate spoke respectfully.

"Oh? Who exactly dared to harass the Young Miss of the Su family in public? Let me hear it."

Third Protector leaned back leisurely in his office chair, playing with two iron balls in his hand. Upon hearing this, he lifted his eyelids slightly, his expression unreadable.

"It was Zhao Jinbao, the younger brother of Hall Master Zhao. Yesterday afternoon, he took two subordinates and surrounded Young Miss Su at the gate of No. 3 High School. In the end, it was a kid from the Han Family who injured Zhao Jinbao and saved her."

The subordinate didn't dare to be slow and quickly recounted what had been investigated.

"Hmph, it's that useless younger brother of Vajra of Black Water Gang again. Tell Vajra of Black Water Gang to roll over here and see me."

Thinking of the questioning he received from Su Beichen yesterday where he was given no Face, he felt quite irritated.

Not long after, Vajra of Black Water Gang arrived at Third Protector's office. He was burly with a fleshy Face, stopping two meters away from Third Protector.

"Greetings, Protector Luo. Do you have any orders for me?"

Vajra of Black Water Gang bowed respectfully.

At the same time, he felt a bit uneasy, not knowing why Third Protector was in such a rush to find him early in the morning.

Could it be that his private contact with the Destiny Sect had been exposed?

"Hmph, Vajra of Black Water Gang, that good younger brother of yours is really becoming more and more promising!"

Third Protector let out a cold snort, sat up straight, and looked at Vajra of Black Water Gang with slightly raised eyes. An invisible sense of oppression pressed down on him.

"This... Protector Luo, what happened to Little Bao?"

Vajra of Black Water Gang felt the pressure from Third Protector, cold sweat seeping from his forehead. Hearing it wasn't about the Destiny Sect, he felt slightly relieved. Then, thinking it concerned his brother, he asked nervously.

"What happened?"

Third Protector sneered, smashing the iron balls in his hand onto the desk with a dull thud.

"Your brother is bold enough to dare harass the daughter of Su Beichen in public at the gate of No. 3 High School! Su Beichen came to demand an explanation in person, and we almost went to war with the Black Water Gang! You tell me what happened?"

Vajra of Black Water Gang's Face changed drastically. He only knew his brother had been injured by someone yesterday; he didn't know he had harassed the daughter of Su Beichen!

Su Beichen! An 8-star Grand Martial Master! The Su family also has a Martial Ancestor Old Ancestor sitting in command!

If they really fought over this, even if the Black Water Gang could win, the losses would be heavy. If the Gang Leader blamed him later, his ten lives wouldn't be enough to compensate.

"Protector Luo, this... I really didn't know about this! When Little Bao came back yesterday, he only said he was beaten by a student. I... I didn't expect it to involve the Su family."

Cold sweat poured down Vajra of Black Water Gang's forehead as he quickly explained.

"You didn't know?"

Third Protector stood up, walked to Vajra of Black Water Gang, and looked down at him.

"Vajra of Black Water Gang, don't you have any idea what kind of person your brother is? He idles around all day, throwing his weight around and acting recklessly using your name. If he bullied some ordinary people before, I would have turned a blind eye. But now, he has actually provoked the Su family!"

Vajra of Black Water Gang's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, it is my poor discipline. Protector Luo, please rest assured, I will definitely discipline him when I go back, and I will never let him cause trouble again!"

Third Protector stared at him for a long time, snorted coldly, and turned back to sit in his chair.

"For this matter, we must give Su Beichen an explanation. Tell your brother to stay put for a while and not leave the house."

Vajra of Black Water Gang felt relieved and quickly promised: "Yes! I will definitely keep an eye on him!"

"Also." Third Protector picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Hand over those two subordinates of your brother. Give Su Beichen an explanation."

Vajra of Black Water Gang was stunned, then immediately understood Third Protector's meaning. This was to use two underlings as scapegoats to protect his brother.

"Thank you, Protector Luo! Protector Luo is wise!"

Vajra of Black Water Gang quickly bowed, looking at Third Protector gratefully.

"Hmm, go. Remember, keep your brother in check. If this happens again, don't blame me for being heartless."

Third Protector was satisfied with Vajra of Black Water Gang's attitude and waved his hand.

"Yes! Jin Hu takes his leave!"

Vajra of Black Water Gang respectfully withdrew from the office.

The moment he walked out the door, he let out a long breath, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

Although he was reprimanded, saving his brother was the best result.

Returning to the hall, he didn't dare to delay. He quickly warned his brother and sent men to grab the two thugs who were still lurking at the gate of No. 3 High School, sending them to the Su family to apologize to Su Beichen.

As for the person who injured his brother, he didn't dare to pursue it for now. Who knew if the Su family would stand up for him?

Better to wait until this wind blew over!

A small high school student was not in his eyes yet.

Han Ming did not know that Su Wanning's father had resolved a crisis for him.

After stabilizing his newly broken-through 6-star Martial Master Realm, he left the school.

He was worried that Black Water Gang thugs would be waiting for him outside!

Unexpectedly, nothing happened.

Could it be that the Black Water Gang didn't intend to retaliate against him?

Han Ming thought secretly, but quickly dismissed this conclusion. What kind of people were the Black Water Gang?

They were the undisputed underground overlords of the East District, synonymous with being vindictive. How could they not come to retaliate against him?

But soon, Han Ming figured it out; it must have been the Su family who intervened.

Although the Su family was not as strong as the Black Water Gang, the Black Water Gang couldn't afford to fall out with the Su family over such a small matter.

In the original story, Lin Fan was able to escape the pursuit of the Black Water Gang time and time again precisely because of the protection of the Su family, eventually growing stronger step by step and counter-killing the Black Water Gang.

"Heh... I thought there would be a fierce battle, but this is fine too."

Having figured out the cause, Han Ming's mood relaxed a lot. Although he wasn't afraid, he didn't want to bring trouble to his family.

Compared to the Black Water Gang, the Han Family was still too weak.

After leaving the school, Han Ming hailed a taxi and stated his destination: Tianwu Building.

Although this was a high-martial world invaded by exotic beasts, it was similar to the city of his previous life, with taxis, companies, factories, and all walks of life, maintaining the normal operation of society.

It was just that the people here had stronger physiques than ordinary people.

Basically, every adult had the strength of a Martial Apprentice or above. Of course, wanting to Breakthrough to a Martial Artist or Martial Master was not something everyone could do.

It required not only talent but also resources and Cultivation Techniques. Many people might not be able to Breakthrough to a Martial Artist even after Cultivating for half a lifetime.

And to leave the city to hunt exotic beasts to earn resources, one needed at least the strength of a Martial Artist.

Those who couldn't leave the city to hunt exotic beasts could only work for others in the city, earning a meager income, and being exploited by various Gangs. It was difficult to live a good life, let alone buy Cultivation resources.

So for ordinary people, if they didn't have good talent and opportunities, it was still very difficult to get ahead.

Soon, the taxi brought Han Ming to Tianwu Building. Han Ming paid the fare and pushed the door to get out.

Tianwu Building stood before his eyes. This was one of the most prosperous commercial centers in Jiangbei Base City, 36 stories high, with a full glass curtain wall shining in the sun. The entrance of the building was busy with people, and Martial Artists in various outfits were coming in and out, very lively.

Han Ming looked up at the huge signboard on the top of the building and walked in.

He didn't come here for shopping, but to buy something.

After breaking through to a 6-star Martial Master, the Medicinal Pill in his hand had run out.

Although the grade 5 blood qi pill had good effects, it was expensive, costing 1.2 million per pill, and he couldn't afford to buy it casually now.

On the other hand, the grade 4 blood qi pill was moderately priced and had good effects, which was just right for his current Realm.

"Tianwu Building B1, Martial Artist trading market..." Han Ming looked at the floor directory and found his destination.

He was about to walk towards the elevator when his eyes were suddenly attracted by a figure in the lobby.

It was a man in a black trench coat, tall, standing in the center of the lobby, looking down at his phone.

His Face was mostly covered by the brim of his hat, making it hard to see, but the aura emanating from him made Han Ming feel inexplicably tight.

That kind of aura was not something an ordinary Martial Artist could possess.

At least it was at the level of a Great Martial Master.

And... Han Ming always felt that there was an unspeakable sense of incongruity about this man. He was standing there, yet he seemed out of place with the people around him, like a beast in human skin, ready to bare its fangs at any moment.

Just as Han Ming was sizing him up, the man seemed to sense something, suddenly raised his head, and looked in Han Ming's direction.

Their eyes met.

Han Ming saw a pair of cold, emotionless eyes. Those were not eyes a human should have, more like an exotic beast.

In just an instant, the man withdrew his gaze, turned around, and walked quickly out of the building, disappearing into the crowd.

Han Ming stood in place, his back slightly chilly.

That person... could it be a Blood Demon?
