101: I, the head of the Li family, accept you as my godson

Uncle B's hand, which was playing with walnuts, paused. He gripped them tighter and spoke slowly, "Tell me, what is wrong with this newcomer?"

Li Chenglong rubbed his ribs and said, "First, his arrival was too sudden. He was brought by you right when the Wang Family's main forces were mobilized."

"Secondly, this person's strength is unusually powerful, yet he is very young. If he weren't a genius disciple from some top family, I wouldn't believe it."

"But, Uncle B, if a genius disciple from a top family committed a crime, the family would definitely do everything to protect him. He would never come here and risk his life!"

"Hmm." Uncle B raised an eyebrow and said, "Then what if I told you that this kid, Lu Fei, is actually wanted by the Wang Family?"

"You rarely go out, so you don't know many things."

"Those in the underworld and the invisible assassins of various families all know about this."

"The reason I didn't tell you about this is that I didn't want you to be distracted."

Uncle B looked at Li Chenglong and sighed, "Do you know what the condition for the Wang Family's bounty is?"

"A pollution core from a Thirty-Year Mutant."

"You've killed enough of the Wang Family's people and the invisible assassins they raise. Are you worth that price?"

Li Chenglong was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

A pollution core from a Thirty-Year Mutant; one couldn't rule out the possibility of someone being tempted and becoming a mole.

"The reason I came here is to wait for him and see exactly how many Wang Family members he can kill."

"I hope he won't disappoint me."

The underground vault fell into a brief silence. This performance wasn't great; they had only hunted five people in total, while eight hadn't returned. A huge loss!

It is very resource-intensive for every family to raise invisible assassins; it's not easy to replace one once they die.

There aren't that many freelancers willing to live under someone else's roof when they can be just as happy mixing on their own.

A whole morning passed, and Xu Jingzhe still hadn't returned.

Li Chenglong and the others felt a strange mix of emotions; this guy was probably dead.

"Uncle B, why don't you go back first? That kid, Lu Fei, probably won't be coming back," Li Chenglong said.

"The brothers are all injured, so please ask someone to send some medicine, Uncle B."

Uncle B took out his phone and made a call. Although the losses this time were heavy, he still had to provide the medicine.

"It's all this newcomer's fault. He got into trouble and came to you, isn't that just pushing us brothers into a fire pit!"

"Exactly, the Wang Family wouldn't usually mobilize so many people! The brothers have fallen this time, Uncle B, I'm truly upset!"

"Uncle B, I'm upset too. My heart feels blocked, and I'm frustrated!"

This group had spent quite some time with the Wang Family, their personalities clicked, and they had been through life and death together. To lose them just like that, they were bound to feel terrible.

"If Lu Fei can still come back, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!"

"Bastard!"

"Pah!"

Except for Li Chenglong, the rest of them complained, spewing profanities.

Uncle B was used to this group's foul mouths and wasn't angry, only sighing to himself.

This time, he had lost his bet.

He had thought that someone who could kill five people from Adam City in the Wang Family's territory was a skilled hand.

Just at this moment.

A voice drifted over leisurely, "Who wants to teach me a lesson?"

The group was shocked and all stood up. Badmouthing someone behind their back and getting caught was truly inexcusable.

But these few were also true-hearted!

"It was me who said it, so what!" Jia Bo stepped forward, patting his chest.

Xu Jingzhe appeared in their line of sight, hands in his pockets, walking slowly toward them.

"What, did I offend you?" Xu Jingzhe asked.

"Alright, stop arguing." Uncle B spoke up.

"Why are you only just returning now? Where did you go?" he continued to ask.

"I ran into Wang Teng last night. I was seriously injured and had to hide to recover for half a day," Xu Jingzhe said in a deep voice.

"What!"

Now, even Uncle B couldn't remain calm. He asked in surprise, "You fought Wang Teng?"

"Yes, I was no match for him. His strength is too powerful!"

Uncle B turned to look at the others and asked, "Could any of you survive if you ran into Wang Teng? Even I am no match for him!"

The group was shocked, but one of them still unconvinced said, "Uncle B, just because he says he met him, doesn't mean he did, right?"

"That's right, Uncle B, how can he prove it!"

"I can't prove that I fought Wang Teng, but what about these?" Xu Jingzhe calmly took eight ID cards from his pocket and handed them to Uncle B.

Uncle B took them and looked at them one by one, the smile on his lips thickening.

"I didn't misjudge you. It's astonishing."

"Thank you, Uncle B, it's only right."

"You guys reflect on yourselves properly. I'm going to get busy now." Uncle B patted Xu Jingzhe's shoulder and said, "Come with me."

At the entrance, a bulletproof business car was waiting.

Xu Jingzhe got into the car with Uncle B. The car sped off at a speed of 500 kilometers per second. Uncle B reported everything in the car, and five hours later, they arrived at the Li Family's territory.

A thousand-meter-tall building; from top to bottom, except for the glass, the rest was almost entirely made of alloy. On the alloy walls, Xu Jingzhe keenly spotted machine gun ports and cannon barrels arranged neatly from top to bottom.

They went through unimpeded, took the elevator, and went upstairs.

At the 201st floor, the elevator stopped, and the doors opened.

A luxurious hall, various technologies visible everywhere, the carpet thick and soft; walking on it made no sound at all.

This carpet was hand-woven, with the price per square meter starting at hundreds of thousands of Blue Star Coins, and it took dozens of workers half a year to finish weaving it.

"Family Head, the person is here," Uncle B bowed and said.

The man sitting with his back to them nodded and said, "Understood, you may leave."

"Yes."

In the huge room, only two people remained, appearing insignificant.

"Lu Fei, from the Lu Family?"

"No."

"That is very interesting. The disciples of the major top families are mostly known. Even if there are a few who hide extremely well and are always sent to the Pollution Zone for training, there are still traces to follow."

"But you, you just seemed to pop out of thin air, which is both amazing and puzzling."

Xu Jingzhe didn't speak. With these old foxes, the more one says, the more they can guess.

He just hoped now that no one would be able to expose this fake Lu Family ID card.

The man with his back to Xu Jingzhe could not be seen, but after a pause, he asked, "What do you think of Wang Teng?"

"Very strong!"

"His physical body is terrifyingly tough, even sturdier than first-grade alloy," Xu Jingzhe praised sincerely.

"Why do I feel like you're praising yourself? He has been baptized nine times and combined that with Old Arts for body tempering. The fact that you could escape from his hands, doesn't that mean you are even more impressive?"

"But I lost."

"But you are only sixteen, aren't you?" The man exhaled a breath of turbid air, paused, and said, "Your future is boundless!"

"Are you willing to become my foster son and appear in the public eye?"

Xu Jingzhe didn't answer immediately; he was considering it.

"What, does my Li Family not catch your eye? Are you looking at the Qin Family in Su City?"

Five minutes later.

"Actually, it doesn't matter to me which family I help."

"I only want to know what I can get!"

Xu Jingzhe's eyes burned as he stared at the back of the man's head.
