Super War God in the City

Ice City, Lu family.

Lu Feichen's face was filled with a deathly pallor, and the entire Lu family living room was steeped in a somber, oppressive silence following the news that Lu Honghu had failed in Binzhou.

"Sigh," He Huiyun lamented as she sat on the sofa.

"How many times have I said it, enemies should be resolved, not entangled with. You're always unable to let go of that obsession in your heart. Revenge, revenge, go ahead!

From today onward, do as you please. If I utter another word, my name isn't He.

But Old Lu, I'll speak plainly, one more time, and I'll divorce!" declared He Huiyun, her expression indifferent.

However, both Lu Feichen and his daughter could hear the icy severity in her tone; they had never before seen He Huiyun truly enraged.

This time, Lu Feichen unusually chose silence and did not speak again, while Lu Hanshan's complexion was pale and bloodless, unable to accept that her capable uncle could have failed.

"But, it was Uncle who insisted on going, it wasn't us..." stammered Lu Hanshan.

"Enough, let's stop this here. From now on, let's not talk of revenge again. The grudges of the martial world are no longer the concern of the Lu family!" Lu Feichen said with a hoarse voice, seemingly aged all at once.

Yet, Lu Hanshan's eyes flashed with reluctance, unable to comprehend if no one in this world could handle that guy.

"Later, I'll find someone to arrange a Buddhist shrine and incense for my brother!" mentioned Lu Feichen faintly before standing up and returning to his bedroom.

...

The next day, after a night's rest, Ling Fan's Soul Force had mostly recovered. He got up and knocked on Shangguan Yue's door.

Li Shishi hadn't left all night, having stayed to watch. Overcome by sleepiness at midnight, she had dozed off beside the bed.

Seeing Ling Fan enter, Li Shishi also woke up.

"How are you feeling now, better?" Ling Fan asked with concern, noticing that Shangguan Yue's complexion had improved a lot.

"I'm fine, I just need to rest a bit more!" Shangguan Yue replied with a faint smile.

"I'll go make something for us to eat!" Li Shishi said, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"You go rest a bit, I'll watch over here," said Ling Fan to Li Shishi.

"There's nothing for me to do anyway; I slept okay. Don't worry, I'll go make some breakfast!" Li Shishi said with a smile, lazy beauty on her face.

There was no lack of food at Shangguan Yue's house. Li Shishi went to the kitchen, brewed some milk, and brought up some bread, settling for a simple Western breakfast since she wasn't much of a cook.

As Li Shishi chewed on her bread, the events of yesterday still unnerved her. She glanced at Ling Fan and teased, "Who'd have thought your head would be worth so much? I've been first-rate in this circle for so many years, and all the private savings I've scraped together don't even compare to a fraction of the price on your head!"

"Cough cough..." Ling Fan took a sip of milk and nearly choked.

Shangguan Yue, remembering, was also internally shocked; this guy was worth a billion US dollars! Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire

"What a way to put it, why don't you go ahead and tie me up for the money!" Ling Fan said with a chuckling smirk.

"Cheh, I wouldn't be able to handle you. There's probably a crowd dying to have your head!" Li Shishi said teasingly.

But as soon as she finished her sentence, the room fell into a deep silence.

Ling Fan hadn't given it much thought before, but Li Shishi's offhand remark made him tense up unintentionally!

Right, a billion dollar 'S' class mission. There would certainly be no shortage of people willing to take on the task; the assassins of the Underworld were probably going mad over it!

The Tian Xuan Di Ming probably was just the first to find him, and who knew how many more would swarm in after that. He himself feared nothing!

But after what happened to Shangguan Yue, he started to feel conflicted. With so many ties by his side, those guys would stop at nothing to complete their mission.

Shangguan Yue was lucky this time, but what about the next? There were many other women; what he could foresee, the two women had realized as well.

Shangguan Yue and Li Shishi silently watched Ling Fan without making a sound to disturb him.

However, Ling Fan was deeply alarmed as he thought of another issue: the S-tier Underworld bounty task might have exposed his existence to some old friends.

Ling Fan gave a wry smile, not expecting that his interference with the Tang Family would expose his identity. Nonetheless, he had no regrets. Given the current situation, being exposed didn't matter, but he must quickly restore his strength to its peak.

"Ling Fan, it seems like you're in quite some trouble," Li Shishi said hesitantly.

"Yeah, maybe you should find a place to hide for a while!" Shangguan Yue also spoke anxiously.

Ling Fan looked at the concerned gaze of the two women, took a deep breath, and said, "It's okay, I'll make two phone calls!"

The women exchanged glances, guessing that Ling Fan was probably going to caution some of his close contacts to be careful.

They saw Ling Fan pull out his phone, ponder for a moment, and then dial a sequence of numbers which by the prefix was evidently an international call.

"Hello!"

On the other end of the line, in a villa within Wanta Country guarded by armed military, an elderly man looked at the unfamiliar number on his phone with some hesitation.

His phone was encrypted, and ordinary people couldn't get through at all, while those who could were all known to him. However, this number was one he had never seen before!

"Abel! Long time no see, how's your health?" Ling Fan spoke with a smile on the other side of the call.

After Ling Fan finished his sentence, the line fell into dead silence.

As soon as Ling Fan had started to speak, Li Shishi had curiously pricked up her ears, because Ling Fan was not speaking in the Huaxia language.

Shangguan Yue, who was on the bed, also widened her eyes, since she did not understand the language Ling Fan was speaking, which was different from the French he'd spoken before at the Alice Restaurant in Binzhou.

"This guy speaks other foreign languages, too?" Shangguan Yue was astonished to herself.

Meanwhile, a voice finally came through the phone that Ling Fan was holding, filled with shock, "War... War Emperor?"

"It's me, Beiming," Ling Fan replied indifferently.

"You..." the voice on the other end of the call stuttered.

"Yes, I was injured two years ago, but I didn't die. However, now I have recovered," Ling Fan said with a smile.

The elderly man on the other side stood up excitedly, "God, that didn't blow you up?"

"Cough cough, you seem quite eager to see me dead!" Ling Fan laughed with a hint of mockery.

"No no, I dream about you every day, and I've always known you wouldn't die so easily. If those guys knew you were still alive, they'd probably start having nightmares!" the elder laughed excitedly over the phone.

"Heh, stop with the flattery, old man. I have a question: has your man recently taken on an S-tier task from the Underworld, with a target within the Huaxia territory?" Ling Fan asked.

The elderly man's body jolted, "The target of the task... is it you?"

"Hmm, you know what to do, don't you? Also, I don't want my identity to be exposed just yet." Ling Fan spoke again.

"Don't worry, I know what to do!" the elder in the villa responded solemnly.

"Good, thanks, I owe you one," Ling Fan nodded and said.

"I'll come to see you when I have a chance. Have to hang up now, still need to give a heads-up to other old friends!"

After hanging up the phone, the excitement on the elder's face in the villa slowly faded, giving way to a bitter smile as he muttered to himself, "I just knew you wouldn't go down that easily, kid!"

Then he dialed an internal line, "Wugan, come over for a minute!"
