Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 1037: Chapter 1044: What Happened (Part 2)

In the meeting hall, a total of seven people found chairs to sit on, and began to talk. At this moment, there was no distinction between seniority.

Of course, it was mostly Xiong Haitao doing the talking, with his parents occasionally expressing their gratitude.

The ones they were thanking, of course, were Lin Xi and the other two.

The situation was roughly like this!

Xiong Haitao had indeed been captured, and it happened even before he set foot in Xiong Family Town, by those who brought him back.

Although he was a mid-level special forces soldier, among those people, there was a King of Soldiers level expert.

Xiong Hai and Xiong Hu sent people of such strength to bring Xiong Haitao back, seemingly determined not to fail.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, Xiong Haitao was not regarded as having special forces capabilities.

Having become a mid-level special forces soldier in just a few months was unimaginable to everyone.

Even as he was talking about it now, his parents were in utter disbelief.

There’s no one in this world who knows Xiong Haitao better than they do.

But the facts were right in front of them, and they couldn’t help but believe.

However, this was not the time for detailed questions.

Next, everyone could probably guess what happened.

Captured, Xiong Haitao was locked in a small wooden cabin, guarded by a top-tier special forces clan member.

During this period, he shouted several times and was almost discovered.

Eventually, he was beaten severely, then silenced by having his mouth sealed, before quieting down.

Shortly before, he saw the clan member guarding the door had a hand appear at the back of his neck.

His clan member did not notice a thing.

"Bam!"

The clan member was struck on the back of the head by that hand, falling unconscious to the ground.

During his detention, he learned from the clan member about the danger to his parents, his grandfather being drugged, and the conspiracy at play.

When Lin Xi and the other two showed up from the side, his initial wariness transformed into newfound hope.

After being set free, he intended to go directly to the meeting hall.

Though usually a man of few words and straightforward, it did not mean he was foolish. He quickly discarded this idea and headed to his grandfather instead.

Because he thought, even with four people going, they might not be able to help much.

After all, he knew that two Peak Soldier Kings and a bunch of experts from the Zhu family were after his parents.

Even though Boss, that is Lin Xi, was incredibly strong in his mind.

This was unlike outside, unlike fighting small-time thugs, this was facing Peak Soldier Kings.

To be blunt, he believed Boss did not have the strength of a Peak Soldier King.

In reality, Lin Xi had never revealed his true power to them, nor had they seen Lin Xi take down any Innate or Soldier King.

If that were the case, he wouldn’t have gone to his grandfather first.

Moreover, he knew Boss had excellent medical skills.

So there was a good chance to awaken his grandfather.

Then, the conspiracy in the meeting hall would be trivial, and his parents would be safe.

The current key was to race against time.

For this arrangement, Lin Xi offered no objections.

Because with his perception, he could sense everything happening in the direction of the meeting hall without any danger having befallen Lao San’s parents yet.

Afterward, Xiong Haitao brought his three brothers to where his grandfather was secluded.

There was no one guarding the place.

Perhaps they thought there was no need to guard it.

Having guards might draw attention instead.

Without any obstruction, they reached his grandfather’s closed retreat door.

Xiong Haitao burst through the door to find his grandfather unconscious on the ground, but his physical condition was not harmed or damaged.

If it were, Xiong Tu would naturally have awakened from the coma.

What happened next was simple.

Lin Xi neutralized the poison in his body, causing Xiong Tu to awaken immediately.

As soon as he woke, Xiong Haitao quickly explained the situation.

Xiong Tu almost exploded with rage and led his four companions quickly to the meeting hall, kicking the door open with a single blow as they walked in.

Afterward, it proceeded to unfold into what Xiong Ba and the others already knew.

At this moment, Xiong Ba, his wife, and Xiong Tu were all extremely grateful to Lin Xi and his group, as was Xiong Haitao.

He was fortunate to have met these three brothers, otherwise the conspiracy of Xiong Hai, Xiong Hu, and the Zhu family would have succeeded.

And they would have either died or been seriously injured with no good outcome at all.

Now, when Xiong Ba looked at Lin Xi and the others, his gaze had changed significantly, and he said, "I’ll just call you my esteemed nephews!"

Lin Xi, Peng Bo, and Cui Hua had no opinions about this.

As for their gratitude, they expressed that it was nothing and what they ought to do, after all, Xiong Haitao was their brother.

Of course, Xiong Ba wasn’t going to just thank them verbally.

They first moved to a quiet place to sit, calling maids to bring some tea and snacks.

After all, the meeting hall had become so wrecked it was unbearable to look at.

Xiong Ba then asked the butler to take out fifteen boxes of the best old ginseng, all over five hundred years old, giving five boxes to each of Lin Xi’s team.

And instructed the best weaponsmith from Xiong Family Town to craft weapons for them using the finest minerals from the Xiong family.

The Xiong family minerals are quite famous throughout the Secret Realm.

Using the best minerals for crafting guarantees a divine weapon.

Xiong Ba also knew about the external control over cold weapons, but there was no choice; these were the best items they could offer.

If outsiders learned about these two items, they would go crazy.

Because they are invaluable, even people from the Hong family are eager to possess them.

Lin Xi’s team initially wanted to refuse, but Xiong Ba wouldn’t allow it, and they eventually had to accept.

Of course, crafting the weapons would take more than half a day.

Lin Xi thought about it and decided on a dagger.

In his view, a dagger is the most convenient, suitable for both close and ranged combat, and most importantly, looks cool and is easy to conceal.

Peng Bo was quite flashy, wanting a large sword that matched his imposing aura.

Cui Hua was more conventional, asking for a sword.

The two of them didn’t intend for Lin Xi to use the sword or dagger, but rather to collect and boast about them as souvenirs.

Sitting nearby, Xiong Haitao was full of envy; he also wanted one.

And he indeed told his father.

Only, Xiong Ba glared at him, saying he would only have the opportunity to get one once he reached a King of Soldiers level.

Besides, their best minerals were not from their mines but obtained by chance, and in quality, they surpassed what their family’s minerals could provide.

After crafting three weapons, there wasn’t much of it left.

Even Xiong Ba himself was reluctant to use the mineral.

Quiet until now, the old man Xiong Tu seemed to remember something at this moment, saying to Xiong Ba, "Ba’Er, having finally come out of seclusion, why don’t I take them for a tour on the mountain?"

"Who knows, there might be a significant discovery!"

Xiong Ba, hearing this, was first taken aback, then seemingly remembered something, asking in some doubt, "Grandfather, could it be?"
