75: Boss Bai

Xiao Fan’s combat ability far exceeded the Cat Girl’s imagination.

She had thought that she could easily take the Storage Ring from the other party, but what was the result?

At this moment, Xiao Fan had already quickly retreated to the street. Although there were not many people, the Cat Girl did not dare to advance!

She stared intently at Xiao Fan, who was dressed in black, and a helpless voice came from her ear: “Forget it, let’s go.”

The Cat Girl turned and left, filled with unwillingness!

She and Shepherd were an ace combination. They had been on missions together since they were fourteen, and now, at twenty, in six years, they had never failed!

Today, however, they had fallen, which dealt a blow to her self-esteem!

“There’s definitely something wrong!” The Cat Girl snorted coldly and said, “You saw it too; this guy is too strange!”

“In this era, few people would practice their Martial Arts Moves and routines so diligently!”

“This is unbelievable! How did I end up encountering such a guy!”

“Hmph, if we were outside the city, I would definitely crush him easily!”

“No, you can’t.” A sharp glint flashed in Shepherd’s eyes.

“You don’t believe me!?” The Cat Girl crossed her arms, pouted arrogantly, and looked aggrieved.

The two stood on the edge of the rooftop. Shepherd said indifferently, “Haven’t you thought of it yet?”

“Those two guys, one is Xiao Fan, and the other is Bai Zhuangzhuang! The eldest young master of the Bais Group Group!”

The Cat Girl was stunned, suddenly recalling the scene before leaving the hotel. A look of shock appeared on her face. No wonder these two could produce fifty billion!

“So that’s how it is…”

If it was Xiao Fan, she truly had no confidence in winning. He was a monster who could directly contend with the eighth-ranked.

“But… why?”

“Why did they buy the hairpin?”

Shepherd snorted coldly and said, “Who knows? Their brains must have short-circuited!”

“It’s possible it really was for a woman!”

“As far as I know, Bai Zhuangzhuang and Lin Xianhuo have an extremely good relationship, like biological siblings. For him, fifty billion is just a drop in the bucket.”

“Perhaps, we’ll see that hairpin in Lin Xianhuo’s hair tomorrow.”

“Anyway, since we know who has the hairpin, it’s a blessing in disguise, I suppose.”

…

Today, Lin Xianhuo’s Divine Ape Golden Body made great progress. After all, it was only the first Move, and at her Realm and with this training intensity, it was very simple to Cultivate.

The energy intensity that the Tempering Pool could withstand increased by another level, bringing her one step closer to activating the third stage.

She joyfully held Xiao Fan’s hand, like a spoiled little girl, their happy smiles radiating on the street.

Bai Zhuangzhuang had opened a room at the hotel, and after the two returned to the hotel, they went straight into that room.

Xiao Fan keenly sensed that when he entered the hotel, two pairs of eyes were watching him. He did not react, but he already understood in his heart that those two mixed-bloods probably already knew his identity.

After entering the room, Bai Zhuangzhuang held the ink-scented green jade hairpin, his face full of a headache.

“I can’t figure anything out.”

Lin Xianhuo even got goosebumps. She had a slight fear of clusters. Although the jade hairpin was beautiful, the dense black dots on it still made it a bit difficult for her to accept.

At this moment, Xiao Fan sat down and said in a deep voice, “Has it been confirmed that no one else can decipher this password except for those from the Taiping Divine Sect?”

Bai Zhuangzhuang sighed and said, “This password isn’t as simple as a permutation or combination. It requires a special instrument to scan, and activating this instrument requires identity verification.”

“So, it’s impossible for outsiders to decipher it.”

Xiao Fan nodded slightly and said, “Actually, I have a method.”

“It just needs a little help!”

Bai Zhuangzhuang and Lin Xianhuo looked over curiously and asked, “What method?”

“Give this jade hairpin back to them,” Xiao Fan said with a light chuckle.

Bai Zhuangzhuang frowned and asked, “Then what?”

“Then you go get a super-resolution monitor,” Xiao Fan said indifferently.

“Holy crap!” Bai Zhuangzhuang’s heart trembled as he said, “Brother Fan, are you going to directly peek into their bedroom?”

“Yes.” Xiao Fan nodded slightly.

“Can you get it? A super-resolution monitoring device.”

“People from the Taiping Divine Sect must be especially careful. The monitor would have to be at least one to two walls away.”

Bai Zhuangzhuang said in a deep voice, “I… I’ll call my dad.”

Xiao Fan gave a wry smile. This guy perfectly demonstrated what it meant to, when in doubt, find one’s father.

“Hello, what trouble are you in again?” Bai Duojin’s voice was full of impatience. It was late at night, and he was in the middle of something important!

“Dad, I want to get a…” Bai Zhuangzhuang quickly said.

After listening, Bai Duojin cursed, “You call me for such trivial matters? Just find Old Wang. Hey, wait, what do you need this for?”

“You wouldn’t be thinking of returning that hairpin to the Taiping Divine Sect people? And then monitoring them?”

“Yes… yes, is that not good?” Bai Zhuangzhuang said somewhat cautiously.

“No.” Bai Duojin shook his head and frowned, “It’s just that I didn’t expect you, kid, to have such a brain?”

“I never noticed it before!”

Bai Zhuangzhuang said awkwardly, “Uh… Dad, it wasn’t my idea.”

“I knew it, it’s Xiao Fan, right?” Bai Duojin chuckled.

Xiao Fan, who was beside them, frowned.

At this moment, Bai Zhuangzhuang handed over the phone and said, “My dad wants to talk to you.”

“Okay.” Xiao Fan nodded and took it.

“Little Brother Xiao!” Bai Duojin’s voice immediately filled with laughter, completely different from his attitude toward his own son.

But Xiao Fan dared not be careless. Merchants were all black-hearted.

“Boss Bai, hello.” Xiao Fan behaved very obediently.

“Alright, I understand people like you. I just want to tell you, my son, he’s not very promising, not very capable, and he’s easily bullied when he’s out. I hope you can help look after him. I heard you need Martial Arts of the amplification type, so I’ll have someone send a few over,” Bai Duojin said indifferently.

Xiao Fan’s pupils suddenly contracted. An ominous premonition rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and cold sweat instantly soaked him!

These past few days, he had been too careless, scouring everywhere for amplification-type Martial Arts, without any concealment!

Anyone could find out with a simple check, and combined with why he, a Venerable-level talent, was so strong… would people think that he had a method for rapidly Cultivating Martial Arts?

Then would they come to steal it?

Xiao Fan reacted quickly, sighing, “It’s helpless. After the battle with Kuang Xing, I found that my Demonic Energy resistance was too poor, so I wanted to try my luck and see if I could find something with Demonic Energy resistance.”

“Unfortunately, my luck wasn’t very good…”

Bai Duojin smiled faintly and said, “It’s a bit difficult to find Martial Arts with Demonic Energy resistance within the broad category of amplification-type.”

“Oh, by the way, Xiao Fan.”

“Be careful. Tianlei City is not the Human Race’s territory. You’ve been there for so many days… you should have been exposed to the Alien by now.”

“Understood!” Xiao Fan nodded slightly.

“Thank you for your concern, Boss Bai!”

“Then that’s all for now. I’m hanging up.” Bai Duojin smiled and hung up the phone.

However, Lin Xianhuo keenly noticed that Xiao Fan’s expression was a little unnatural.

“Then that’s it for now. We’ll start the plan once your monitoring device arrives!”

“Okay!” Bai Zhuangzhuang nodded quickly, watching the two leave.

Back in the room, Lin Xianhuo looked worried and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Fan sighed and said, “Your and King Star God’s attention to me made me have the illusion that all elders are good people.”

Hearing this, Lin Xianhuo roughly understood. Of course, she knew Xiao Fan had secrets, but she didn’t care. For a woman, it was enough to be sure that the other person truly loved her.

“Actually, Xiao Fan, you don’t need to worry about Boss Bai.”

“Oh?” Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow.

“Boss Bai is a ruthless man.” Lin Xianhuo said in a deep voice, “If he values something about you.”

“He won’t show it.”

“He’ll just find an opportunity to eliminate you in one go, before you even realize the seriousness of the situation.”

Xiao Fan frowned and said, “In other words, he wasn’t threatening me?”

“But rather warning me?”

Lin Xianhuo nodded and said, “Probably. The circle in the Imperial Capital is very, very large. Our few families are, at most, upper-middle level!”

“My dad told me that in the quagmire of the Imperial Capital, there are many things that even King Star God cannot control!”

“You have already stepped into the spotlight… you need to be careful!”

“Don’t worry. Although Boss Bai is a businessman, he dotes on his son very much. Back then, because I helped his son, Boss Bai helped our Lin family a lot, a lot.”
