Ling Xia woke up early in the morning. After her bath, she was summoned by her father. Upon seeing her, he handed over a piece of paper to her.
She accepted it with a suspicious look on her face, and when she read the contents of it, the remaining lethargy in her body immediately flew away, her hands started to tremble, as though the piece of paper weighed a thousand tons, her mouth became dry: “T-this…..this is real?”
“Yes.” Ling Yuan Hong admitted that when he received the news, he was totally unlike his daughter, but at the moment, he had already calm down.
“It’s too crazy.” Ling Xua muttered.
Ling Yuan Hong felt the same way, and nodded: “Too crazy.”
He changed the subject: “How much do you understand about him?”
Ling Xia reacted, although her face still had a look of shock and distractedness, she laughed bitterly: “Almost nothing. His family, background, the power he holds, nothing.”
“Recently, it hasn’t been calm.” Ling Yuan Hong sighed. For a family with a rich background, they had deep roots in White Sands, their connections were so deep that outsiders could never imagine it.
Ling Xia’s mind was shaking, she knew her father knew something.
Ling Yuan Hong laughed: “And now there is a lunatic and fierce person, I wonder if it is a good or bad thing.”
Ling Xia rarely saw the complicated and hesitating look on her father’s face, although he was a gentle and warm man, but he was extremely firm on the inside, and was always decisive on matters, and rarely had any opinions.
“Is the situation very bad?” Ling Xia decided to test and ask.
“Quite bad.” Ling Yuan Hong sighed: “Since three years ago, He Ying went to the Continent Lord to present Lady Rou to him, and the Continent Lord started to neglect the government affairs. Two years ago, I heard that majority of the government affairs were handled by Lady Rou, and I knew that something was wrong. Lady Rou’s hands are brilliant with tricks, in just two years, how many elders are left inside the internal department? Last Month, Eldest young noble met with danger, if not for the hidden protection sent by Master Suo Bi to protect him, I’m afraid…..”
Ling Xia widened her eyes, her face was in disbelief: “Could it be that they….”
“They are starting to make their moves.” LIng Yuan Hong’s tone was heavy: “The 3rd and 4th army have already begun to lean towards Ying He, Lady Rou who has control over the internal department, and has been pulling strings the past few years, half of the families in White Sands Continent are all under her now.”
“The Continent Lord isn’t aware of any of these?” Ling Xia was stunned.
“The Continent Lord is completely blind towards women, Lady Rou had completely taken control of the Continent Lord’s manor, and now we cannot even meet with the Continent Lord. The Manor is filled with Lady Rou’s servants, initially we thought to sneak into the manor, but who knew that the servants have strengths that are unfathomable, and we lost many people. Lady Rou’s background is definitely not simple!” Ling Yuan Hong clenched his teeth and said.
Ling Xia had never thought that the situation would be so terrible to such a state, and her face turned white.
“Then what do we do now?” Ling Xia asked at a loss, although she was intelligent, but she was after all still young.
Ling Yuan Hong nodded his head: “That is the reason why I called you here. You need to do two things, firstly, go and manage the 5th army.”
“But, the true order have not been given….” Ling Xia did not understand.
“It’s already here, it was sent here this morning.” Ling Yuan Hong passed the order over to Ling Xia, it was written with the official stamp, and was the formal order: “Master Suo Bi had personally worked to get this, do not restrain and fear, you must, in the shortest amount of time, take control of the 5th army.”
“Understand.” Ling Xia nodded her head.
“Second thing, have a good relation with Meng Nan.” Ling Yuan Hong suddenly said.
“Why?” LIng Xia was startled.
Ling Yuan Hong’s gaze was deep: “We have made plenty of extrapolations, He Ying and Lady Rou have already completed their initial preparations. If everything continues steadily, our chances of winning will become smaller and smaller. We need to have a disruptor externally, someone who can completely wreck everything.”
“You’re saying Meng Nan?” Ling Xia thought she heard wrongly.
“That’s right, I just thought about it.” Ling Yuan Hong did not even hide from it: “He is wild, a rule breaker, and a brave fellow, who else but him can be the perfect candidate for that?”
“But…..” Ling Xia was hesitant.
“You think I’m making use of him?” Ling Yuan Hong laughed out loud: “Don’t worry, you don’t have to do anything, just pay attention to him, if he comes into trouble, help him out of it. I have a premonition, he is born to be a disruptor!”
Ling Xia heaved a sigh of relief, she did not completely believe her father. Although she and Meng Nan have not known each other for long, she felt that he was frank but rather reckless with his reasoning, and completely not a person like what her father had described.
Ling Yuan Hong saw LIng Xia’s expression, and understood his daughter’s thoughts, he laughed out loud, but did not bother explaining.
********
Continuous explosion sounds sounded out from outside, groans and wails sounded out through the dense and huge door, Lei Fu Er’s entire body trembled, his entire body was trembling, and there were no more the vigor and scariness of his slit eyes. Every time the fervent shouting came out from outside the door, his entire body would tremble, fear and the thought of his bleak future was written all over his face.
This was the Golden Rose’s largest stronghold, and it had become a huge piece of meat.
He could roughly discern out the familiar voices, they were people of low statuses that used to fawn and curry his favor, and now they were holding blades trying to kill him. They used to tremble under the name of the Golden Rose, but currently, with the astronomical bounty, they had lost all their fear and banded together, planning to eat up all the corpses of Golden Rose.
What made Lei Fu Er most afraid of was that people wanted his life.
10 billion cloud coins, 1000 Empyrean Ice Tree Spears, was what made Lei Fu Er filled with despair.
And what made him despair even further was that the Master had disappeared. He knew how big the power the Master held, and if he was willing to help him, he would have the possibility of surviving.
But, the Master never appeared.
~Could it be that he was not worried that I’ll reveal everything that we have done?~
The footsteps from outside were getting closer and closer, Lei Fu Er could no longer wait, he came to a fireplace and opened a secret passageway; it was his last lifeline.
A stern look flashed past his eyes, the secret passageway had a bronze mechanism by the side of the wall. Beneath the house was an extremely powerful energy crystal installed. He pressed the button, in a minute, the intense explosion would destroy the entire place, and all of the people chasing after him would explode along with the place!
Suddenly, Lei Fu Er felt a pain in his chest, his expression turned pale, as a sword tip protruded out from his chest.
A shadow had quietly crept up from behind him.
“You have done well all these years. Sigh, with you dead, my loss is huge, what a pity.”
An indifferent voice came out from behind him.
~He truly came to silence me….~
Lei Fu Er’s face revealed a strange smile, and he fell down.
The shadow did not escape from the passageway, but closed it, and at the same time he moved Lei Fu Er’s body beside a table.
10 seconds later, bang, the door smashed open with all the crazy people.
Countless people saw Lei Fu Er’s body on a chair, their eyes lit up, everyone roaring and pouncing on Lei Fu Er’s body, quarreling, scolding, fighting. The entire place grew into a chaos.
No one had noticed that an extremely ordinary person had quietly left the room.
Bang!
A gigantic fire regiment soared up from the ground, the intense explosion caused the entire White Sands City to shake.
Everyone rushed out from their homes and saw the intense raging flames, and had complicated looks on their faces.
The Golden Rose was finished, and the White Sands Continent’s largest underground powerhouse, was completely obliterated.
The Golden Rose was completely obliterated.
The astronomical sum of money made people take risks out of desperation, although they had fear towards the Golden Rose, but they were completely dispelled by the cloud coins. In the entire White Sands Continent, Golden Rose’s 32 strongholds were baptised with blood, the most infamous underground powerhouse of the White Sands Continent, in just one night, was pulled from the roots.
The night flowed with blood.
White Sands Continent had no lack of rich and powerful people, and there were people who were as filthy rich as Tang Tian, but there never was anyone who used such a ruthless method for revenge.
Tang Tian became famous, extremely famous.
Although this popularity was not a good popularity, crazy, ruthless, stupid etc. But no one dared to provoke him, and no one dared to look down on him. It was said that when 2nd Army Commander He Ying received the news, he flew into a rage and killed three of his beloved dancers to vent his anger.
The Security Bureau was completely deserted, as over 70% of their members had resigned, and caused the Security Bureau to instantly become paralyzed. The Security Bureau that was never afraid of anything, to actually become frightened to such a stage, caused Tang Tian’s name to soar to an unprecedented height.
In just a day, the entire White Sands Continent knew that there was a rich man that was tyrannical and crazy.
As Tian Qi Guang ran to He Ying for help, He Ying had already calmed down, and quickly thought of a way, and sneered: “That’s right, the Security Bureau is actually paralyzed, then let it be. Think about it, if even the Security Bureau fears his ruthlessness, then who will protect the citizens of White Sands? Who will protect the families? Such a violent situation will cause the streets of White Sands City to become rivers of blood. Only when the bleeding is sufficient will they realize the importance of the Security Bureau, and they will understand who is their true enemy.”
Tian Qi Guang’s mind was aroused, he felt that the master’s idea was too miraculous.
~This brat is an outsider, his arrogance will definitely cause people to find him annoying. The Security Bureau just have to pull out a few weak martial artists, and add fuel to the fire, causing the White Sands City to become even more chaotic. Assassinations and kidnappings, will make everyone and every family feel the pain, they will naturally pour their hatred towards that asshole.~
“This subordinate knows what to do!” Tian Qi Guang said respectfully.
Tian Qi Guang just left, when a voice came out from the shadows: “Your idea is not too bad.”
He Ying’s face did not reveal any joy, he replied coldly: “You better not stir anything up for me! I asked you to come here, for you to resolve the matter about Eldest Young Noble. In the end, you failed, and now things are so troublesome. You better not stop chasing, once Eldest Young Noble is dead, White Sands City will belong to us, and at that time, you can do whatever you like. But before that, you better kill him first! If not for the fact that our men are being watched, why would I call you?”
“Relax, he will die very soon.” The voice in the shadow was as indifferent as before.
Leaving He Ying’s manor, Tian Qi Guang immediately gave the Security Bureau holidays, and he himself also went back home on the pretense of being sick. And the originally chaotic city became even more chaotic, and blood started to paint the streets.
In time, everyone realized the danger.
