Hearing the extremely insulting word "scram," Saint Lun@Loman, feeling wronged and enraged, stared at Dawson for several seconds before finally leaving without a word.
Because reason told him that he, the Hall Master of the God of War Hall, was nothing in Dawson's eyes. If he dared to utter another word, Dawson would definitely teach him a lesson!
More importantly, he had no confidence in defeating Dawson!
Moreover, Dawson might be related to the Daoist sect. Who knew if Heavenly Dragon Daoist was also in Luocheng?
After the battle at the East Sea Martial Arts Academy, Saint Lun@Loman had been taught a lesson by Heavenly Dragon Daoist, and his fear of Heavenly Dragon Daoist was deeply ingrained!
He was a formidable figure who ignored all rules and stood at the pinnacle of global martial arts—he would not hesitate to kill anyone!
After watching Saint Lun@Loman leave, Dawson immediately contacted Jiang Wuming.
After "seeing off" Hughes, Jiang Wuming had already left the deserted island with Li Lianyi and, to prevent his whereabouts from being exposed, discarded the phones on him and Li Lianyi, keeping only the special communicator.
The special communicator was a communication tool exclusive to the City of Sin, and external forces could not monitor it.
At this moment, seeing Dawson's call on the special communicator, he answered directly.
"Wuming, I already know about your situation. What's your current situation?" Dawson asked directly.
"Master Dawson..."
Jiang Wuming truthfully told Dawson everything that had happened.
"Wuming, it's good that you're alright. I've arrived in Luocheng, at the West Ocean Pier. Come over, and I'll go back to the City of Sin with you."
Dawson spoke again, not mentioning his assistance to Jiang Wuming in blocking Saint Lun@Loman.
"Okay."
After a moment of thought, Jiang Wuming agreed to meet Dawson.
He trusted Dawson.
Because when he joined the City of Sin, Dawson had provided great support, even making his regulations the regulations of the City of Sin!
If Dawson wanted to harm him, he would have done it long ago and wouldn't have waited until now!
Half an hour later.
Jiang Wuming, with Li Lianyi, met Dawson.
Dawson had concealed his true aura through a mysterious inner energy technique of the Daoist sect and transformed into a peak ninth-stage five-star God of War.
"Master Dawson."
Jiang Wuming and Li Lianyi greeted Dawson and then asked, "Master Dawson, why are you in Luocheng?"
"I was originally handling affairs in North America. After I learned about your situation, I found out you were in Luocheng and rushed over," Dawson said.
"Thank you, Master Dawson."
Jiang Wuming expressed his gratitude to Dawson and then said, "Saint Lun@Loman is likely in Luocheng. We must leave immediately."
"Yes, I also heard he's here. Let's set off for the City of Sin now."
Dawson nodded and then walked towards an armed helicopter with Jiang Wuming and Li Lianyi.
The armed helicopter was arranged by Dawson in advance.
"Master Dawson, may I use your phone?"
Before boarding, Jiang Wuming felt it was necessary to make two calls.
"Okay."
Dawson handed his private phone to Jiang Wuming.
Jiang Wuming took the phone and handed it to Li Lianyi, "Lianyi, call Grandpa Li first. He's very worried about you."
"Mmm."
Li Lianyi nodded, took the phone, and dialed Li Guyi's number.
"Hello..."
On the other end of the line, Li Guyi saw a number from abroad and answered without much thought.
"It's me, Lian... Lianyi," Li Lianyi interrupted.
"Lian... Lianyi, are you alright?!"
Hearing his granddaughter's voice, Li Guyi was a little excited and also a little nervous—why wasn't Li Lianyi using her own phone to call?
"Grandpa, I'm fine. Wuming and I are with Master Dawson now. Wuming and I lost our phones, so we're using Master Dawson's phone to call you," Li Lianyi replied.
She knew what Li Guyi was worried about. To avoid further questioning and wasting time, she concisely stated the main point.
"Hoo..."
As expected, after hearing Li Lianyi's words, Li Guyi's hanging heart instantly relaxed, and he let out a long sigh of relief, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright..."
"Grandpa, I'm about to take a plane and go to Wuming's place first. I'll tell you more when I get there," Li Lianyi interrupted Li Guyi again. Without waiting for Li Guyi to reply, she ended the call and returned the phone to Jiang Wuming.
Jiang Wuming took the phone, walked aside, and dialed Li Rui's number.
Like Li Guyi, Li Rui answered almost instantly, guessing it was Jiang Wuming, "Wuming?"
"It's me, Grandpa Li."
Jiang Wuming responded and then proactively said, "I've rescued Lianyi and am preparing to take her back to the City of Sin."
"Hoo... That's great!"
Upon hearing this, Li Rui also let out a long sigh of relief, his expression even showing some excitement.
Because he knew very well the significance of Li Lianyi and the Li family to the Dragon Country martial arts world, and even the global martial arts world—Gene No. 1 would change the global martial arts world!
Moreover, the God of War Drug Research Institute team, with Li Lianyi at its core, had the potential to develop even more powerful gene drugs in the future!
More importantly, Li Rui knew very well the significance of Li Lianyi to Jiang Wuming!
In his opinion, if anything were to happen to Li Lianyi, the global martial arts world would be turned upside down!
"Grandpa Li, I'm calling you because I have something to ask of you..."
Jiang Wuming continued after a few seconds.
However—
This time, before Jiang Wuming could finish his sentence, Li Rui directly interrupted, "Wuming, there's no such thing as trouble. What do you need me and the Martial Department to do for you?"
"I want to ask Elder Wu to go to the City of Sin to pick Lianyi back," Jiang Wuming stated his plan.
Elder Wu was the third elder of the Martial Department, second only to the former Qi Wufu and the current Long Qisheng in terms of strength within the Martial Department.
If Elder Wu were to pick up Li Lianyi, Jiang Wuming would feel at ease.
"Okay, I'll handle this matter right away. I'll call you back later!"
Li Rui immediately agreed.
Jiang Wuming said no more, directly ended the call, took Li Lianyi onto the helicopter, and returned to the City of Sin with Dawson.
Meanwhile, on the other side, after Li Rui hung up the phone, he immediately got up and went to Long Qisheng's office.
As Qi Wufu was still in a vegetative state, Long Qisheng had officially become the Marshal of the Martial Department and worked at the Martial Department headquarters every day.
"Old Li."
In the office, Long Qisheng saw Li Rui and stood up to greet him.
Since joining the Martial Department, he had intentionally tried to build good relationships with Li Rui and others, treating Li Rui with great politeness on the surface.
"Marshal, I've come to discuss something with you."
After sitting down, Li Rui directly stated his intention, "Lianyi was kidnapped in North America. She has now been rescued by Wuming and is on her way back to the City of Sin. Wuming called me and hopes the Martial Department can send Elder Wu to pick Lianyi back."
"No problem."
Long Qisheng agreed readily and then asked, "Do you want to tell Old Wu, or should I call him?"
"I'll tell him," Li Rui said.
"Good."
Long Qisheng nodded and then asked again, "Old Li, is there anything else we need to do for Jiang Wuming?"
"No," Li Rui shook his head.
"Old Li, the kidnapping of Lianyi is an extremely serious matter. Although she has been rescued by Wuming and is fine, I believe the Martial Department should do something. Both for Lianyi and for Jiang Wuming," Long Qisheng said after a moment of thought.
"It's too late."
Li Rui shook his head slightly.
"What do you mean?" Long Qisheng frowned slightly, completely puzzled.
"In the past, Wuming needed the support of the Martial Department, and we didn't provide it. Now, he no longer needs the Martial Department to protect him."
As Li Rui spoke, he gave Long Qisheng a deep look.
He could feel that Long Qisheng's attitude towards Jiang Wuming had changed recently, but as he said, it was too late.
...
A day later.
Elder Wu arrived at the City of Sin and met Jiang Wuming at the villa.
Jiang Wuming immediately expressed his gratitude to Elder Wu, "Elder Wu, thank you very much for coming to pick Lianyi home."
"Wuming, this is what I and the Martial Department should do,"
Elder Wu shook his head and then said, "By the way, Wuming, can you tell me the ins and outs of Lianyi's kidnapping?"
"Elder Wu, it's like this..."
Jiang Wuming truthfully told Elder Wu the entire sequence of events and explained that Anthony@Loman was the mastermind behind it, but he did not reveal his speculation—that Anthony@Loman had repossessed the soul of the extraterrestrial psychic cultivator!
"Wuming, is there anything else you need me and the Martial Department to do for you?"
After learning the whole story, Elder Wu was furious and asked, "No, thank you."
Jiang Wuming shook his head and expressed his gratitude.
This answer was within Elder Wu's expectations, and he said nothing more.
At noon that day.
Li Lianyi took the Martial Department's special plane, escorted by Elder Wu, back to Dragon Country.
Twelve hours later, the special plane landed at Yanqing Airport on time. As instructed by Jiang Wuming, Li Lianyi called Jiang Wuming to report that she was safe.
After receiving the call, Jiang Wuming left the villa directly.
Just as Jiang Wuming left, Black Widow Jessica went to Qin Xiaozhi's residence.
"Xiaozhi, I just sensed Wuming's aura leaving the villa. Where did he go?"
Black Widow Jessica asked.
"Settling scores."
Qin Xiaozhi said.
"Settling scores?!"
Black Widow Jessica was startled and then couldn't help but recall a sentence Jiang Wuming had once said:
"Those who touch my loved ones will surely be settled with!"
...
