Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

Chapter 226 Inexplicable



"Master Qin, please stay calm!" Mo Li snatched the dagger from Qin Chen's hand and said.

At this moment, the two bodyguards wore heavy expressions as they stepped forward. Clearly, they did not want to confront this old man Mo Li, but they had no choice but to do so, thus they reluctantly stood up.

"Mo Li, you old bastard, are you trying to start a war between our Qin Family and your Xiao Family?" Qin Chen roared, completely unexpected that Mo Li would come up and take away his dagger.

"Master Qin, you're taking this too seriously. What I'm doing now is actually helping you. You should know that killing someone in Tianhai City might result in not even your family patriarch being able to protect you!" Mo Li said unhurriedly, "Moreover, this young man's background is not that simple."

"Old bastard, let me tell you, when I return this time, just wait for the fury!" Qin Chen bellowed, completely ignoring Mo Li's warning.

"Hmph! It's not up to you to decide, I'm afraid." Mo Li swung his large hand dismissively.

"You... Hmph! Let's go." Qin Chen calmed down and thought it over. Perhaps this Zhu Bufan really wasn't simple, and since Mo Li seemed hellbent on protecting Zhu Bufan, Qin Chen knew that staying here wouldn't do him any good. He left some harsh words and took his two bodyguards away.

After Qin Chen and his bodyguards left, Xiao Yue glanced at Zhu Bufan once more and quickly departed as well.

Zhu Bufan had intended to step forward and thank Mo Li, but Mo Li ignored him completely and swiftly left the scene.

A brawl ended just like that, bizarrely.

But Zhu Bufan knew that this was only the beginning. The Qin Family was definitely a super prestigious clan, and the Xiao Family was also not to be trifled with.

Now that both sides had left in such a manner, surely something significant was about to happen. However, this did not concern Zhu Bufan. How those two great families clashed and fought each other viciously was none of his business; what he needed to do now was to carry out the task the Boxer had entrusted to him.

Still, Zhu Bufan couldn't figure out Mo Li's overly protective attitude towards him.

Once everyone had dispersed, Manager Ao approached Zhu Xiaoya with an apologetic face:

"Uh, Vice Director Zhu, my apologies. Your room has been prepared. Please, follow me!" He then made a gesture of invitation.

"Hmph!" Zhu Xiaoya snorted coldly, clearly very displeased.

However, it seemed she was aware that both the Qin Family and the Xiao Family were not to be provoked, and even the force behind her was insignificant compared to these two families.

Even if she called her own chief, it was unlikely that the situation would change one bit.

In fact, Zhu Xiaoya knew from years ago that the Sheraton Hotel was not a simple place.

Of course, as a police officer, seeing criminals act out right in front of her and not being able to do anything about it was definitely irritating. But what could she do about her annoyance? Let alone dealing with people from the Qin and Xiao families, even Zhu Bufan at this moment was out of her reach. Thinking of this made Zhu Xiaoya feel incredibly stifled.

In the end, Zhu Bufan and Zhou Xin rented three presidential suites and settled down at the Sheraton.

That night, Zhu Bufan did not stay at the Sheraton Hotel; instead, he chose to return home.

Having barely managed a trip out of Dragon Valley, he of course had to go back and check on Yan'er, Xiao Lan, and the two siblings from the Li Family.

Of course, Zhu Bufan just looked from afar; he couldn't return home because the mission was too dangerous, and he was afraid that his presence would bring danger to them.

Indeed, what Zhu Bufan wanted to see the most were his parents, but he did not go back. Firstly, it would take a lot of time, and secondly, he was afraid of bringing danger to them.

After all, the man in the black robe came to Tianhai City solely for him, Zhu Bufan.

The very next morning, Zhou Xin arrived at Zhu Bufan's room.

"Junior brother, where did you go last night?" Zhou Xin asked, his voice carrying a tone of reproach.

Zhu Bufan knew perhaps Zhou Xin had come to look for him last evening, just when he had gone home.

"I went home!" Zhu Bufan did not think of concealing anything and simply answered directly.

"Junior brother, I shouldn't be saying this, but look at the mess you've made," Zhou Xin said, clearly displeased.

"I know, but please believe me, elder brother Zhou, I am definitely not the kind of person you think I am. Whether you believe me or not, I don't feel the need to explain." Zhu Bufan's frown showed he knew Zhou Xin was referring to the incident from the day before, mistaking his actions as fooling around with the woman, Xiao Yue.

"Alright! Since you've put it that way, I won't say anything else. Let's discuss the gang we've been tasked to investigate by the boxer master," Zhou Xin said.

"Let me make it clear to you that we're here to probe into the Dragon Gang, and I believe you must understand them well since you're a local of Tianhai City," Zhou Xin continued.

Zhu Bufan wasn't overly surprised when Zhou Xin mentioned their mission was related to the Dragon Gang. He had guessed so too. After all, Black Tiger was Zhao Lingyun's henchman and bodyguard, and if Black Tiger turned out to be a demonically transformed person, then Zhao Lingyun must be implicated. Unintentionally, he had saved the siblings of the Li Family, which led to the Dragon Gang acting against his own parents, and this succession of events brought Zhao Lingyun into the picture, whose influence reached the second-in-command of the Dragon Gang.

Therefore, Zhu Bufan knew that the Dragon Gang was very likely the target of their mission, something the Boxing King had alluded to when discussing the matter with him.

However, Zhu Bufan was still somewhat worried, particularly if the Longteng Group was also involved; if it were, that would considerably escalate the issue.

Longteng Group ranks among the global top hundreds, its power is not to be underestimated.

The state has not directly addressed the Dragon Gang, possibly because of Longteng Group, given that it contributes to the economic growth, if not on a national level then at least for Tianhai City's development.

Although Zhao Aiguo is the president of Longteng Group, he is merely the president of a branch in Tianhai City, which is insignificant compared to the entirety of Longteng Group.

The headquarters of Longteng Group is located in the Capital City, and it is rumored that the true president of the group is a high-ranking official.

The boxer master has assigned them to investigate the demonically transformed people precisely for this reason! It is because of this they cannot act overtly and must gather enough evidence before proceeding, as any mishandling could lead to an economic crisis for the entire nation.

"Um, I know, I had already guessed it!" Zhu Bufan replied.

Zhou Xin was not surprised to hear that Zhu Bufan had already figured it out, because he had learned from the boxer master that Zhu Bufan had previous encounters with demonically transformed people, otherwise Zhou Xin would not have agreed to let such a new member as Zhu Bufan join in this operation.

Precisely because Zhu Bufan had profound contact with demonically transformed people, they agreed to include him.

To tell the truth, Zhou Xin and his companions hadn't actually come into direct contact with demonically transformed people until now. On their last visit to the metropolis, they came to investigate, but the demonically transformed people hid too well and covered their tracks too efficiently, leaving Zhou Xin and others without a clue to follow.

By bringing Zhu Bufan along this time, they hoped that he could assist them and help them swiftly dismantle the hidden demonized organization in Tianhai City.
