50: Chapter 50 The Overbearing Wang Jinhua

Gardener Residential Complex.

The night grew deeper, and the bright moonlight shone through the window, landing in the living room of the small public housing unit.

In the kitchen, the clanging of a spatula against an iron pan was particularly jarring; Bai Shiwei, wearing an apron, was busy amidst the smell of burning food.

Fang Wu had already been discharged from the hospital yesterday.

Bai Shiwei stopped running to the hospital and had been contentedly tinkering with her cooking at home for the past two days.

"The blood explosion pill gives a thrill of temporary power, but the impurities and pill toxins are truly terrifying. I am a Superior Martial Aspect, and these past few days, I have clearly felt that my cultivation has come to a standstill..."

"In the future... my Life Level will likely have a cap of 30, perhaps not even reaching that."

"I should just focus on my cooking..."

Bai Shiwei shook the pan vigorously. Perhaps this was her husband's intention? To have her stop practicing martial arts in the future?

She couldn't understand why Fang Zhuo would have her take the blood explosion pill, a pill that would greatly affect her martial arts potential.

The only explanation was: Fang Zhuo had better talent, and perhaps he wanted to concentrate resources in the future...

As Bai Shiwei was thinking this, the door lock turned, and Fang Zhuo pushed the door open and entered.

"Hubby~!"

"You're back?"

"Quick, wash your hands, dinner is ready." Bai Shiwei poked her head out of the kitchen; her face was stained with a bit of cooking smoke, but it did not affect her beauty.

"Okay."

Fang Zhuo said in a deep voice, his nerves appearing somewhat tense.

After killing Ding Shixun, his mind felt much clearer, but on the way home, he had felt uneasy.

Bai Shiwei noticed Fang Zhuo's unusual behavior, but she didn't ask anything.

She just kept putting food on Fang Zhuo's plate.

"Eat more. I just learned this dish; see if my skills have improved?"

After taking the blood explosion pill, for the past week, Bai Shiwei had spent most of her time at the hospital taking care of Fang Wu, but she also generally understood Fang Zhuo's movements.

Almost every day he left early and returned late, always appearing preoccupied...

After a week, he was perhaps scouting locations, and now that he was distracted, perhaps he had already acted?

"Not bad."

Fang Zhuo took a bite. Although it still had a burnt taste, it was much better than before and was barely edible.

Bai Shiwei's 'dedicated research' over these past few days hadn't gone to waste...

Just then, the sound of a siren faintly drifted in from outside. Bai Shiwei connected it to her own suspicions, and her heart immediately jumped to her throat.

Fang Zhuo's eyes narrowed.

What was going on?

Wang Jinhua had promised to help and prevent Ding Nan from intervening. Could some unexpected change have occurred in the middle?

This time, when he acted to kill Ding Shixun in the Old City District, he had prepared for a long time and cleaned up many traces. Even if it were discovered, it shouldn't be this fast.

Without evidence, the Public Security Bureau had mobilized so quickly; it must be that Ding Nan had used his influence as a Transcendent Martial Artist!

"Hubby!"

Seeing Fang Zhuo's face darken, Bai Shiwei's heart was completely panicked. She put down her chopsticks, looked outside, and said, "Should we leave while we can?"

Fang Zhuo shook his head.

Running away was definitely not an option. Since the Public Security Bureau had already mobilized, they must have made preparations. If they left now, he feared even a mosquito would struggle to fly out of Jinhe City.

He took a deep breath, took out his phone, and immediately dialed Wang Jinhua.

...

Origin Star.

Looking down at the entire planet from high altitude, it appeared deep green and full of vitality. In reality, that was indeed the case; there were not many cities on Origin Star, and there was much more wilderness.

An endless wilderness, interwoven with mountains and rivers, where various precious plants and exotic beasts lived, and human martial artists frequently came and went on adventures.

The Blue Moon Federation had built nine major base cities on Origin Star.

Starry Sky Base City.

It was one of the nine major base cities, also known as Base City 001, and was the preferred city for countless martial artists to come to Origin Star for adventure and to make money.

It wasn't hard to guess from the name that this base city had a very deep connection with the Starry Sky Martial Artist Group.

In the center of this steel city of Starry Sky Base City stood a skyscraper, towering into the clouds; it was the headquarters of the Starry Sky Martial Artist Group.

The 99th floor.

The door to the 'High-Civilization Gravity Chamber' opened with a boom, and Wang Jinhua walked out, drenched in sweat.

"Huazi, how was the harvest this time? When will you break through to Transcendent and advance to Flying Sky?" The old man guarding the door stood with his hands behind his back, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth as he spoke.

"You brat have gone in for nearly 30 hours this week! Are there still any fools in the group who dare to gamble with you?"

"Old Man Zhang, take a guess."

Wang Jinhua seemed to be in a great mood. By introducing the S-Class Genius Fang Zhuo to the group, plus helping Fang Zhuo, he had gained an extra 24 hours of usage rights for the High-Civilization Gravity Chamber.

Over the past week, his gains had been significant!

"You brat, still playing coy!"

The old man guarding the door, Old Man Zhang, scolded him with a laugh and urged, "Don't just stand there! Get out quickly, are you still standing inside trying to freeload?"

As he said this, he reached out to pull Wang Jinhua.

Then, he slammed the door of the gravity chamber shut.

Wang Jinhua wasn't embarrassed after having his little scheme seen through by Old Man Zhang; he laughed and prepared to walk away.

Just then, his bracelet vibrated, and the caller ID showed Fang Zhuo.

"Fang Zhuo?" Wang Jinhua answered the call.

"Brother Wang? About Ding Nan..." Before Fang Zhuo could finish his sentence, he heard the sound of someone slapping their thigh.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I forgot. You wait, I'll handle it for you right now! You can set your heart at ease!"

On the other end, Fang Zhuo's face turned somewhat dark.

How could he forget about this?

If he hadn't made this call, wouldn't he be dead!

"Brother Wang, I estimate that the entire city's police officers in Jinhe City have been mobilized. You need to hurry...!"

"Ahem, okay, that's it for now, I'm making a call."

Wang Jinhua's expression was somewhat unnatural. This really couldn't be blamed on him; he had secured 24 hours of usage rights for the High-Civilization Gravity Chamber this time.

It was understandable that he had become immersed in his cultivation.

Once Fang Zhuo came to the headquarters to report, he would naturally understand.

...

New Moon.

Tianxing City.

Ding Nan changed into a martial arts uniform, preparing to rush back to Jinhe City to personally interrogate Fang Zhuo.

Just as he stepped out of his house, his bracelet vibrated.

"Wang Jinhua?"

Ding Nan looked surprised. Although both were Transcendent Martial Artists of the Blue Moon Federation, because of the huge gap in their strength, the two had no friendship.

They had met a few times; he knew Wang Jinhua, but Wang Jinhua didn't know him.

"Hello? Senior Brother Wang, is there something you need?" Ding Nan lowered his posture significantly, trying his best to appear enthusiastic.

Even though his nephew Ding Shixun had been killed, he was in a very bad mood right now.

"Fang Zhuo, I'm protecting him."

Wang Jinhua said concisely, his tone flat.

"...Senior Brother Wang, you aren't joking, right?" Ding Nan's expression darkened. Fang Zhuo actually knew Wang Jinhua?

Why hadn't his elder brother Ding Xu mentioned this intelligence?

"I don't want to repeat myself."

"Senior Brother Wang, I respect you, but this person Fang Zhuo may have killed my nephew. I have never married or had children in my life; this nephew is like half a son to me...!"

Blue veins throbbed on Ding Nan's forehead: "Even if you are an invincible Transcendent, you can't be this overbearing, right?"

"You're not convinced?"

Wang Jinhua said indifferently, though his heart was not calm. Fang Zhuo had actually killed Ding Shixun?

This kid... he was ruthless. Although, if it were him, he would have done the same, he really hadn't expected that Fang Zhuo, just an Intermediate Martial Artist, would dare to act in a fit of rage.

What a reckless brute!

Thinking back to when they met, he had actually thought Fang Zhuo was steady and composed, speaking and acting with confidence and calmness.

It turned out that it was all f*cking fake...

Was he actually just a crude martial artist at his core?
