"But then again, Young Master Zhao, while a scoundrel, does have some influence in Longdu," Jiang Meili chimed in. "You all need to be careful these next few days!"
"We don't mind!" Lu Fan shrugged. "As long as you don't get into trouble, since Xiao Ke is with me."
"Don't you see?" Jiang Meili said with a touch of arrogance. "With my own strength, many men were no match for me. I'm not bragging, even if ten, or even a hundred, came, they would be nothing in my eyes!"
"If a Grandmaster, or someone above Grandmaster, were to come," Lu Fan shrugged. "It's best to be cautious and not act too heroically!"
Jiang Meili was startled. He was quite curious how Lu Fan, an ordinary person, knew about martial arts realms and was so familiar with them.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Young Master Zhao was full of displeasure. "Go and hire some assassins to deal with that person from earlier!"
"That might not be a good idea," a man said. "The Xia family in Longdu was just annihilated. If more trouble arises, perhaps..."
"Just do as I say, and stop talking nonsense!" Young Master Zhao said coldly. "That kid dared to talk back to me face-to-face. In the whole of Longdu, no one has such audacity!"
The man nodded slightly, not daring to say anything more. He wouldn't dare to delay anything that Young Master Zhao ordered.
Lu Fan and Lin Ke returned to Jiangjing Longting. However, Lin Ke spent the entire day on the phone, notifying various managers of Qingyun Group to prepare for their expansion into Longdu, which would allow them to establish a foothold there.
As midnight approached, Jiang Meili finally returned home. Seeing Lu Fan and Lin Ke, he was slightly relieved. "It's good that you're both alright. I was worried all day at the company!"
"Worried about what?" Lu Fan asked in surprise.
"Young Master Zhao is not someone to be trifled with. He has money and power in Longdu. If you offend him, he won't let it go," Jiang Meili stated directly. "I'm afraid he might do something to you!"
"You can rest assured about that!" Lu Fan shrugged. "We're doing just fine!"
Jiang Meili felt a bit helpless. What Lu Fan said was true; he was likely in danger these few days. However, Lu Fan's nonchalance irked him slightly.
After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms. Jiang Meili was about to open his computer when his eyes sharpened as he looked outside. He sensed a subtle danger, a threat that could be fatal.
With that thought, he hurried upstairs, wanting to notify Lu Fan. There was no mistake about this dangerous aura.
Meanwhile, not far from Jiangjing Longting, three snipers were positioned nearby, looking quite professional and holding walkie-talkies.
"What's going on? I had him in my sights just now, but he suddenly disappeared!"
A sniper on the 18th floor of Jiangjing Longting spoke.
"We saw him too just now, but now he's vanished without a trace!"
The other two snipers also spoke. They had received a considerable reward, and if they failed to complete the task, they wouldn't get a cent. This felt extremely unfair to them.
"Why don't we change positions and storm Jiangjing Longting directly? Once we kill him, we can collect our reward!" another sniper suggested.
At that moment, in the center of Jiangjing Longting, Lu Fan stood behind a sniper, saying with interest, "Your position is well-chosen, but your reaction is too slow! Snipers like you are unqualified!"
The man turned around abruptly, looking at Lu Fan before him in disbelief. He had seen Lu Fan very clearly in Jiangjing Longting just moments ago, and in the blink of an eye, he had appeared here.
Just as he was about to fire, Lu Fan gave a slight tremor, and the sniper rifle in the man's hand dropped. Even his walkie-talkie instantly malfunctioned.
"These things are nothing in front of me!" Lu Fan stated directly. "Was it Young Master Zhao who sent you?"
"Yes, he sent us!" the man nodded quickly, simultaneously kneeling on the ground. Only now did he realize that Lu Fan was a master, and an unparalleled master at that, otherwise, how could he possess such power?
"I didn't expect you to be so honest!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "How much did he pay you?"
"This..." the man froze, his expression shifting. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to ask this.
"I'll offer you double his price. Go and kill him instead!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Do you think this deal is worth it? It even includes your life!"
"Is that true?" the man's face lit up with joy. "Can you really give double?"
"If you don't believe me, you don't have to do it!" Lu Fan shrugged. "But in the end, it will be a dead end."
"I'll do it, of course, I'll do it!"
The man quickly knelt and begged for mercy. He didn't want to die now, especially at his age.
"Since you're doing it, then do it well!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. "Don't delay at all. The money in this card is enough for double the price. However, if you take the money and run, I will make you pay the price, even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth!" Su Dan Novel Network
"Sir, don't worry, I absolutely won't!" The man clasped his fists. Having his life spared by Lu Fan, he now knew how formidable Lu Fan was and naturally dared not oppose him.
Lu Fan stood on the 18th floor, looking towards the snipers in the two directions on his left and right. Two leaves appeared in his hand, like deadly flying swords, instantly killing them.
Lu Fan would not show mercy to such assassins. He knew very well how much blood these assassins had on their hands.
The only sniper who survived heard the sound of bodies falling and was terrified to his core. Only now did he truly understand how strong Lu Fan's abilities were.
They had a reputation in the assassination world and rarely missed their targets. But this time, not only did they miss, but they were also counter-killed and even turned against their employer. This was something he had never witnessed before.
Meanwhile, inside Jiangjing Longting, Jiang Meili went upstairs and couldn't find Lu Fan, feeling a bit curious. He saw Lin Ke working, appearing quite busy.
"Xiao Ke, where did Mr. Lu go?" Jiang Meili asked in surprise.
