Chapter 896: Chapter 901: Five Against One, No Sweat (Part 2)
In the capital city, within a discreet courtyard, the Dragon King was carefully reading a book.
At that moment, a knock on the door was heard from outside.
The Dragon King didn’t put down the book in his hand. His eyebrows slightly furrowed—the people under him should not be disturbing him at this time.
Could something have happened?
"Come in!" he said.
The next moment, a distinguished middle-aged man walked in from outside, looking only slightly less impressive than the Dragon King.
Yet standing before the seemingly ordinary Dragon King, he involuntarily appeared quite humble.
After all, the person in front of him shook the world with his reputation.
Even big shots from abroad dare not act rashly in his presence.
Thinking back on the days when he single-handedly killed more than a dozen legendary Innate Powerhouses, every time standing before him, there’s an unshakable sense of deep fear, yet more so admiration and respect.
If it weren’t for this man, their country’s face would have truly been humiliated by those people back then.
So, anyone who knows about past events genuinely respects the Dragon King from the bottom of their heart.
"What’s the matter?" the Dragon King asked.
The middle-aged man raised his head, not daring to look directly at the slightly older man before him, adjusted his mood and said, "The foreign powerhouses you’ve asked me to observe have sent someone to Lin Xi’s house."
Furthermore, Lin Xi was specially instructed by the Dragon King to be a key observation, something quite unusual.
From the beginning, this matter was given top priority.
To know, it was the first time the Dragon King asked him to focus on someone.
During the observation period, although there were many areas he couldn’t grasp, feedback suggested this person seemed overly sensitive.
From several hundred meters away, he could sense when he was being watched.
Of course, there were many things he didn’t care if people saw.
Like teaching some people a lesson, or teasing some people...
From the reports received from the subordinates, he discovered that this young man was a top-notch powerhouse, the kind whose full strength remains unknown.
But how could someone not even twenty years old be so powerful?
This puzzled him greatly.
Considering that Soldier Kings are typically in their thirties, and even then, they are the ones with extremely good talent.
So he figured, the Dragon King’s interest might be due to this reason.
Indeed, it’s too extraordinary!
"Then after this, surely that group will suffer for it!" The Dragon King said casually, seemingly very aware of Lin Xi’s abilities, and further asked, "If anyone dies, make sure to handle it!"
"No...," he replied with a wry smile.
"No?" The Dragon King was taken aback.
"Because at that time, Lin Xi wasn’t home. Two girls related to him were there, and they’re quite young!"
The Dragon King was silent for a moment before saying, "So you sent people to give a warning?"
"Our guys didn’t get out in time, it was already over!"
"..." Even the almighty Dragon King couldn’t comprehend this just then.
Knowing that those foreign visitors were at least of Soldier King level strength, led by probably a Peak Soldier King.
Such strength should allow them to rampage through Chuzhou City.
This means the two girls were caught!
"Because one of the girls named Lin Mengmeng just punched and sent those guys flying like a tiger swatting a cat!"
Dragon King, "..."
At this moment, his confusion deepened, "Could it be, those people are ordinary?"
"No, those people include two Peak Soldier Kings, three Advanced Soldier Kings, and two Junior Soldier Kings!"
"What happened? Explain in detail!" The Dragon King put down the book and looked at him.
.......
After a while, silence engulfed the room before the Dragon King finally spoke, "So you’re saying that girl named Lin Mengmeng is also at Innate Realm strength?"
The middle-aged man nodded. He had triple-checked the information and all sources were people he deeply trusted, otherwise, he wouldn’t dare believe this news.
Because it’s truly outrageous!
"Where is Lin Xi now?" The Dragon King asked again.
"He’s on his way back!"
"Should we help? Or warn those people, they won’t rest easily!"
Because he knew, it wasn’t just about face, the allure of Spirit Stones is overwhelming.
Even he had thoughts about them.
But Dragon King had warned not to be disturbed.
Now reflecting, it seems the Dragon King was right, who’d have thought a young girl at home would be an Innate Powerhouse.
That means Lin Xi himself must be even more formidable?
"No need, don’t interfere with this; he can handle it!" The Dragon King said, waving his hand to dismiss him.
After leaving the courtyard, the middle-aged man felt significantly lighter.
Whenever he was with the Dragon King, despite meeting many big figures, he never felt as pressured as when with the Dragon King.
Could only say, while the Dragon King appears extremely ordinary, his presence is immense.
"But who exactly is Lin Xi?"
Due to his sensitivity toward intelligence, he suddenly got a feeling that Lin Xi’s relationship with the Dragon King was not ordinary.
Moreover, neither’s origin or strength source could be traced.
It’s as if they appeared from thin air.
However, how is that possible!
In Chuzhou City, in a presidential suite of a five-star hotel, sat ten old men, among them were the ones who previously interacted with Lin Xi, Abigail and Hebrew.
The other eight elders were no weaker, all Innate Powerhouses.
This group gathered from various parts of the world, represented a mix of ethnicities.
The ten sat quietly in the room, appearing meditative, as if waiting for some result.
"Knock knock!"
The door sounded, Abigail opened her eyes, "Come in."
An expatriate who formerly followed Abigail walked in nervously, as any one of the individuals here could squash him with ease.
"Is there an update?" asked Hebrew.
The expatriate nodded, "Yes, but...."
"But what, don’t stammer!" another elder said with a frown.
The expatriate quickly recounted the situation of those dispatched from start to finish.
Upon finishing, Abigail angrily cursed, "A bunch of worthless fools, unable to capture two women, instead got themselves beaten to the brink of death!"
"Can’t you even handle one woman?"
The expatriate broke out in a cold sweat, "That woman seems to be already at Innate Realm!"
His words didn’t cause much stir among the others.
Clearly, they knew anyone able to punch and send someone flying must be Innate Realm.
Since a Peak Soldier King can’t manage such a feat, and they dispatched Peak Soldier Kings.
"Enough, no more pointless chatter, let’s go together!"
"Lin Xi should have returned by then!"
"With our numbers, can we not handle him, or rather them!"
"Five against one, is there any doubt?"
"Does he think he’s the Dragon King, there aren’t so many Dragon Kings around the world!"
"If there were, why would Huaxia remain so low-key?"
An impatient elder stood up and spoke loudly.
The others nodded in agreement.
However, the expatriate who just came felt something he wanted to say, but witnessing the situation decided against it, thinking it wouldn’t yield good results.
Upon further thought, he figured he might be overthinking.
His concern was with someone so young being an Innate Powerhouse, perhaps having extraordinary talent, and if so could they handle multiple adversaries?
So, five against one, could they really succeed?
Can they truly succeed?
In the next moment, the ten elders, accompanied by a group of Soldier Kings, departed from the hotel, heading directly to where Lin Xi was.
Their objective was to take all Spirit Stones from Lin Xi and using Su Xiong’s daughter as leverage, force Su Xiong to hand over all the Spirit Stones.
