79: Ling Tianlei becomes Lei Zong

Xiao Fan certainly wouldn't waste his time looking for it himself.

After all, if someone who robbed money every day suddenly stopped and went to research a business association, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the two mixed-bloods.

Besides, merchants are Bai Zhuangzhuang's family's strong suit; he can handle it tomorrow!

Just as Xiao Fan was about to close the screen and go to sleep, Shepherd suddenly called.

"My Lord, the situation is like this..." Shepherd reported his work.

A cold snort came from the other end of the phone: "He won't give up his network. Xuan Yun Business Association, right? Investigate! I'll send people to help you!"

"Oh, and be careful and cautious in your actions. It seems the foreign races have also noticed this matter!"

"That Illusionist is deeply involved; we absolutely cannot let the foreign races get their hands on him!"

"Oh, My Lord, I did encounter two powerful foreign races today, but they don't seem to be related to the Illusionist!"

After hearing about Xie Linqing's situation, the voice on the other end of the phone said indifferently: "Never let your guard down. Perhaps Xie Linqing's illness was just a smokescreen, and her true objective is still you!"

"Also, pay attention to that Xiao Fan!"

"Understood, My Lord!" Shepherd nodded slightly.

Finally, the call ended.

"Foreign races, huh..." Xiao Fan's brows furrowed slightly.

Currently, they should be the least suspected, because his motive for coming to Tianlei City is reasonable, and what he does every day is very clear: robbing money.

So, continuing to lie low is the right thing to do!

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

This matter is not that simple. If he can become the final oriole, the chances of success will greatly increase!

Having figured everything out, good night, time to sleep!

The following days suddenly became peaceful.

Tianlei City was still Tianlei City, with thunder-flashing dark clouds still covering the sky, making it difficult to see the sun. Lin Xianhuo still went to the House of Thunder Forging to Cultivate, working even harder, and Xiao Fan still went out of the city as usual to search for Lei Zong!

In the dark, Bai Zhuangzhuang and Shepherd the cat girl searched for the Illusionist's location. To avoid alerting him, their movements were very slow.

In a flash, a month passed.

Xiao Fan was a bit annoyed because in a whole month, he only got three amplification-type ones; all the others were duplicates!

He had collected quite a few Lei Zong, and he should be able to Breakthrough to Eighth Stage in a while!

Current mission progress (20/30)!

During this month, his relationship with Ling Tianlei grew closer.

He went from anger, to indifference, to confusion, to calm, and now, his emotions were clearly much better than before, but about what he had been doing recently, he didn't reveal a single word to Xiao Fan, only saying: "I'll give you a surprise then!"

The two also gradually became familiar and often chatted. At first, Ling Tianlei's views on certain matters were still somewhat naive.

But later, Xiao Fan gradually came to accept them, and then Xiao Fan was shocked; some of Ling Tianlei's ideas were even more cruel and dark than his own!

Ling Tianlei had been corrupted!

And he gave Xiao Fan a fright!

"Um, Xiao Fan, I can actually sense that you've absorbed every Lei Zong. This means you probably have the ability to fuse Lei Zong, right?"

Xiao Fan was shocked; he thought he had hidden it very well!

As it turned out... he was careless. Ling Tianlei's perception of thunder elements was too good; he could sense Lei Zong being absorbed from far away.

At that time, Xiao Fan really broke out in a cold sweat. Being able to fuse elements at will was no small matter!

But when Ling Tianlei took the initiative to tell him, the feeling was different.

"We've exchanged secrets, so we're friends now, right?"

"Now that I know your secret, I'll tell you mine too."

After hearing Ling Tianlei's secret, Xiao Fan was utterly shocked: "So the BOSS was by my side all along!"

"Actually, my father told me about it before; my mother insisted on keeping it from me."

"But why do you want to be friends with me?" Xiao Fan asked curiously.

"Because you've helped me a lot, not just saving my life. My dad was right; being friends with you is perhaps the only correct choice I've made in my life so far."

On that day, Xiao Fan clearly felt an extremely powerful force surging within him!

The World-Destroying Thunder was about to display its true power!

Xiao Fan's face was full of envy, but it was fine; after all, he would eventually have talent like that!

Today was even stranger.

Ling Tianlei was actually beaming, looking very smug.

And the little girl was no longer following him.

"What's up, Old Lei?" Xiao Fan asked with a smile.

"Hehe, I'll take you to my place to play tonight! I'll give you a surprise!" Ling Tianlei smiled smugly.

"It'll definitely blow your mind!"

"What have you been doing these past few days? What could blow my mind?" Xiao Fan grew even more curious.

"You'll find out tonight!" Ling Tianlei smiled mysteriously and patted Xiao Fan's shoulder.

After speaking, he put on his headphones. A song over a thousand years old was playing, but he loved it very much.

It was called "Summer Solstice Light Years."

His favorite lyric was: "Abandon rules, indulge in love, be unrestrained, empty the future, I won't turn back... I won't turn back..."

Today, Xiao Fan's movements were noticeably much faster than before.

Ling Tianlei sensed that Xiao Fan was eager to improve his strength. There was a faint sense of anxiety in his eyes.

Was he stimulated by himself?

Ling Tianlei shrugged and didn't think much of it.

It wasn't until night, when they were about to finish work and go home, that two people in the Middle Stage of Little Grandmaster suddenly rushed up!

"You dog, you dared to mess with our business! I finally caught you! Die! Damn it!"

Xiao Fan stood to the side, frowning, wondering why Ling Tianlei had enemies now.

What exactly had he done?

Finally, two bolts of Tianlei struck, and two charred bodies fell to the ground. Ling Tianlei retched a bit; it was his first time killing someone, which was a bit uncomfortable, but he was fine.

Xiao Fan was greatly shocked. Ling Tianlei had already killed someone?

He grew even more curious about what he had experienced during this period!

After entering the city, Xiao Fan said, "I'm going to pick up my wife."

At this, Ling Tianlei's expression changed slightly, and he said, "That's not good."

"Huh?" Xiao Fan was startled, and said, "What's not good about it?"

"You want to hit on my wife?"

"Damn it, I'm telling you, don't try that! I'll beat you up!"

"No! What are you thinking?" Ling Tianlei snorted, and said, "Forget it, forget it. If you want to pick her up, go ahead!"

But the result was unexpected.

"Fan Fan, come later, or I'll come find you later. I want to train a bit longer today."

Xiao Fan sighed when he saw this message. Immortal Fire was also getting anxious.

"Alright."

"Not coming?" Ling Tianlei raised an eyebrow.

Xiao Fan nodded slightly.

He embraced Xiao Fan's shoulder and grinned, saying, "That's great!"

Looking at Ling Tianlei's smile, Xiao Fan inexplicably felt a bad premonition.

They walked towards the North City District. It was noticeably more dilapidated here, not because of lack of money, but because no one managed it!

As soon as they entered, the beggars on the street excitedly waved, saying, "Hello, Boss Lei!"

Ling Tianlei casually tossed two coins into a beggar's bowl and smiled faintly, "Why have you all gotten so thin lately?"

"Nonsense! Following Boss Lei, I've gained ten catties! Look, I even have meat on my arm now." The beggar chuckled and made a gesture of raising his arm.

They continued to walk forward. Along the way, there were many beggars, but all of them treated Ling Tianlei with great respect!

Just then, the familiar little girl ran out, excitedly rushing towards Ling Tianlei, shouting, "Husband, you're back!"

"Husband!?" Xiao Fan's pupils constricted, and he said, "You really went through with it!"

Ling Tianlei sneered, "Why not? She's my person. If she's not my wife, am I supposed to watch her marry someone else in the future? I'm not that magnanimous now."

Ling Tianlei was very strong, holding the delicate and lovely Yu Anan on his broad shoulders. Along the street, people greeted him.

As he walked, Ling Tianlei said faintly, "Following your words, I came to the North City District. On my very first day, seeing so many beggars, I started distributing money."

"So the beggars around here respect me a lot."

"Then, An'an happened to be sold here. I couldn't stand it, so I spent three million to redeem her."

Xiao Fan nodded slightly.

"But at that time, I only had twenty million in my pocket. In less than four days, I ran out of money." Ling Tianlei gave a self-deprecating smile.

At this moment, the two walked past a magnificent tall building. Xiao Fan looked up and saw the sign on the building read: "Tianlei Casino!"

Xiao Fan was startled, and said, "You opened a casino?"

Ling Tianlei nodded slightly and said, "Yeah, if you run out of money, you have to think about making money, right?"

"Come, follow me inside."

The three entered the casino, and everything before them was luxurious and resplendent.

On both sides were eight usher ladies, all tall and sexy, dressed in hip-hugging dresses and black stockings, with extremely clear cleavage! The air was filled with an alluring scent. A normal man definitely couldn't resist.

"Hello, Husband!!"

The eight ladies on both sides all smiled brightly and bowed.

"Husband, will you pick me tonight?"

"Pick me!"

"Pick me~"

Xiao Fan was stunned, his head buzzing!

"Ling Tianlei, what on earth have you done?"

Ling Tianlei said indifferently, "It's simple. I went gambling. My elemental talent is too strong and doesn't trigger Tianlei City's Restrictions, so I always win."

"After winning money, I went and redeemed the prostitutes from the brothel next door, and then opened a casino."

"Look around; all the service staff here are people I redeemed from brothels!"

"I have to say, those brothels have excellent taste. Most of them have very superior figures and faces."

"It's only been a few days? How did you do all this? Why does it sound so easy?" Xiao Fan was shocked.

"Logically, it shouldn't be easy." Ling Tianlei smiled faintly, "But I was lucky. I started by giving money to those beggars."

"They followed me."

"Tianlei City doesn't allow fighting, but you can act like a rogue!"

"Damn it, all the beggars on this street are my people! Which shop dares to provoke me!?"

"The remaining difficulties, just a phone call to my dad will solve them!"

PS: Three updates for today. I've been researching the plot so much lately that my hair has turned white. I'm very tired, so I'll rest a bit. The ending of the Tianlei City arc has been decided, so please look forward to it!
