Just when Xiao Zheng sent out Sky Net elites to investigate in Nan City, members from Huashan Sect and Qinglin Sect also began to mobilize in large numbers, claiming they were out to seek revenge on Xiao Zheng.
At the same time, they contacted many in the martial arts community, asking them to publicly condemn the actions of the Tianji Sect, tarnishing Xiao Zheng’s reputation completely.
Yet, these were just ordinary reactions, what truly shocked the whole of Nan City was that both Huashan Sect and Shaolin Sect, these two martial arts sanctuaries, also expressed their intentions to seek justice from Xiao Zheng!
These were sanctuaries; just any member coming forward was a top-tier expert. If they took action, they would unquestionably stir up a towering storm in the secular world!
"Hahaha, Xiao Zheng, Xiao Zheng, you probably didn’t expect that I just slightly deployed a stratagem and got you so utterly frazzled,"
Within a presidential suite at a globally renowned super five-star hotel in Zhonghai City, a man’s hearty laughter echoed throughout the room.
This was a very refined man, dressed in a white robe, with a distinctly elegant countenance. However, across his elegant face was a scar that added a sinister quality to his otherwise scholarly demeanor.
At a glance, this slightly contradictory aura was enough to be deeply memorable!
Behind this refined man, a middle-aged man dressed in a custom-made suit from a European tailor stood with awe, watching the young man by the window.
If anyone were here, they could instantly recognize this middle-aged man as the chairman of a super conglomerate in Zhonghai City, Qi Benyu!
In Zhonghai City, he was a man wielding tremendous power; however, in front of this young man who was refined yet slightly ominous, he was utterly fearful and tense.
The reason was that Qi Benyu knew the wealth in his hands meant nothing in front of this refined young man!
Even now, Qi Benyu remembered the scene when he first met this refined young man.
At that time, he had just finished an important meeting, having reached a collaboration with a foreign financial powerhouse, feeling happy and planning to go home to spend time with his daughter.
It was at this moment that his secretary called to inform him that a young man outside wanted to meet him.
Qi Benyu naturally wouldn’t bother with the young man initially, instructing his secretary to refuse the youth’s request to meet and then prepared to leave the company.
But just at that moment!
Outside the company’s building, a thunderous roar sounded, and Qi Benyu, surprised, looked outside to find a military helicopter had appeared beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows!
Such military helicopters could only be mobilized by national agencies. Qi Benyu immediately grew suspicious, wondering if terrorists had infiltrated the building.
Then with a loud bang!
The helicopter fired, and the bullets streaming from it shattered the reinforced tampered glass as if it met no resistance, exploding loudly.
The entire building was in shock!
Qi Benyu was terrified.
He couldn’t help but think, had the terrorists become so rampant now that they were coming directly to the building to abduct someone? His body began to tremble.
Then, Qi Benyu saw a young man in white, a faint smile on his face, leaping down from the armed helicopter and entering the building.
Qi Benyu was just staring at the young man at that time.
The young man then slowly walked up to him, smiled, and said, "Are you the Chairman of Canghai Group? I’ve investigated you, and you’re quite capable. From now on, you’ll work under me."
And so, Qi Benyu became the subordinate of this refined young man!
It wasn’t until later that Qi Benyu learned the young man’s name, known as "Mr. Liu"!
If it were five or six years earlier, in Zhonghai City, the name Mr. Liu would have shaken the whole of Zhonghai! For, during the years when the monstrous young Xiao Zheng dominated Zhonghai, he was the only one who could contend with him!
A legendary figure of power and influence!
However, there isn’t room for two tigers on one mountain, and when two men battle, inevitably one must fail. Mr. Liu was defeated by Xiao Zheng in their final battle and had to flee Zhonghai. Everyone speculated at the time that Mr. Liu did not die and indeed, he had now returned.
Carrying a towering hatred!
"Haha, the young master’s strategies are divine. Surely in the coming time, countless martial arts masters will take action against Xiao Zheng. Even if he is formidable, he cannot withstand such an overwhelming number of enemies and will inevitably die a miserable death."
Qi Benyu zoned out for a while, then suddenly came to his senses, a sycophantic smile immediately appearing on his face as he praised Mr. Liu’s tactics.
"Hehe, Benyu, you are good at your job, but this flattery is quite stiff," Mr. Liu remarked, standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the broad city stretching to the horizon, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
Clearly, he was in a good mood, now even joking with Qi Benyu.
Qi Benyu frowned. "You wrong me, my Lord. I meant every word I said."
"Hehe, you don’t understand Xiao Zheng."
Mr. Liu gave a faint smile, and deep in his eyes, there seemed to float a misty haze. "Xiao Zheng, that man is a true monster! Already so terrifying back then, who knows how much he’s grown by now? Some brutes from the martial arts world, how could they possibly be a match for that demon?"
Qi Benyu expressed his confusion, "If that’s the case, then why do you still want to do this, my Lord?"
Mr. Liu smiled and said, "It’s a test. I need to test his strength and understand how far he has come. The real confrontation will be mine to initiate. Over the years, I have painstakingly trained my Eight Great Vajras, and naturally, they need to be put to use."
"Eight Great Vajras?"
At this word, Qi Benyu’s expression subtly changed.
As Mr. Liu’s capable assistant, he was quite familiar with the Eight Great Vajras. It was a force powerful enough to shake the world! Each of the Eight Great Vajras possessed unimaginable strength. Each of them had been through countless battles, emerging from seas of blood on corpes-filled battlefields, true killing demons!
Qi Benyu had once witnessed a Vajra in action. It was when his company faced a formidable business rival, who even hired an internationally renowned assassin to target him.
After obtaining the news, Qi Benyu was restless and sought help from Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu then assigned a Vajra to protect him closely, and when the assassin appeared, with just one move, the Vajra turned him into a pulp!
