Chapter 416 - 420: The King Returns


In just about ten days, the Jiangzhou Qu Family had collaborated with other companies to target Die Mo Pharmaceutical everywhere. They even had people smear Eternal Youth Pill in the media and used various means to drive away the company's top executives. If it had not been for Lu Haotian and a few top company executives holding on desperately, Die Mo Pharmaceutical in Shu Province would have probably gone bankrupt by now.


"Is that so? My patience has reached its limit. It's been over ten days, and that Mr. Lin from Shu Province, has he taken care of you at all? I think he must have been frightened off, not knowing where to hide," Qu Jianshu coldly said. As a person from the Jiangzhou Qu Family, he had only heard of Mr. Lin from Shu Province, who, in his eyes, was no different from an ant.


"I believe Mr. Lin will definitely come back," Lu Haotian said through gritted teeth, a hint of resoluteness shining in his eyes.


Chu Jiaoyong mockingly said, "You keep hoping he will come back, but you should think about your family. Don't let it end up with both sides losing everything, tearing up faces won't end well."


"Bastard, how dare you threaten me? If anything happens to my family, I, Lu Haotian, will definitely kill you." Lu Haotian glared fiercely at Chu Jiaoyong.


Just then, a palm from a Martial Arts Grandmaster bodyguard struck Lu Haotian's face, shouting, "Speak more politely to our Mr. Chu, or we'll make your death happen."


At the same moment, a high-level executive from Die Mo Pharmaceutical looked up slightly and caught sight of Lin Mo, immediately shouting excitedly, "Lin... Mr. Lin is back!"


"What? Mr. Lin from Shu Province has come back?"


Upon seeing Lin Mo, Chu Jiaoyong immediately showed a frightened expression in his eyes, as if a mouse had seen a cat.


It was as if it were a flashback to a few months ago when Lin Mo killed Yuan Qingtian thousands of meters in the air. Everyone bowed down calling him King. That terrifying image haunted him all these months.


"Mr. Lin from Shu Province, is it? You dare to come back?" Qu Jianshu coldly huffed and said imposingly, "We, the Qu Family, have been looking for you everywhere."


"Mr. Lin," Lu Haotian, upon seeing Lin Mo, immediately stood up excitedly, his eyes reddening, as if with Lin Mo's return, he had found his pillar of support.


Lin Mo didn't even glance at Chu Jiaoyong or Qu Jianshu, considering these two men as good as dead in his eyes.


"Lu Haotian, are you alright?" Lin Mo looked at Lu Haotian, a faint smile appearing on his stern face.


"No… I'm fine." Lu Haotian nodded repeatedly, almost bursting into tears, "Mr. Lin, where have you been these days?"


Lin Mo replied indifferently, "Nothing much, just went abroad for revenge."


Standing on the sidelines, Hu Yonghe and Hu Xiaoqi were quietly observing, wanting to see how Lin Mo would handle the crisis.


Qu Jianshu laughed coldly, "Boy, most of the shares in your company are now in our hands. Die Mo Pharmaceutical in Shu Province is now a mess. Are you going to call the police or hire a lawyer to sue me?"


Hu Yonghe thought similarly that Die Mo Pharmaceutical's situation was indeed a mess, and even a business genius would find it difficult to turn the tide. He had come to see if Lin Mo could pull it off.


"Call the police, hire a lawyer to sue you? There's no need for that hassle." Lin Mo's expression was indifferent as he said flatly, "Anyone who lays a hand on Die Mo Pharmaceutical, I will eliminate them completely!"


Yingzi stretched out her white, lotus-like wrist and gently shook it, a crisp Silver Bell sound rang out. Immediately, a purplish-blue light radiated from her palm, revealing a two-foot-long Nine Heavens Sword in her hand. With a face cold as ice and snow, she respectfully said, "Master, let Yingzi handle this little matter."


"What are you trying to do?" Qu Jianshu was startled, as was everyone else, dumbfounded. Yingzi's move was like magic, producing a Nine Heavens Sword with just a shake of the Bell.


The bodyguards of the other Martial Arts Grandmasters, looking at Yingzi, inexplicably felt some fear, but after all, they had taken Qu Jianshu's money, so they steeled themselves and stood in front of Qu Jianshu immediately.


Yingzi, holding the Nine Heavens Sword, advanced against the wind. The bodyguards of the Martial Arts Grandmasters were no match for her; they were slain with one stroke of her sword, their chests spraying fresh blood as they fell to the ground, with Yingzi's movements swift and fierce.


Seeing this scene, Qu Jianshu suddenly broke into a cold sweat on his forehead.


He now understood that the rules of the secular world could no longer contain Lin Mo, who killed these Martial Arts Grandmasters at will, let alone him.


Puff!


The next second, without any warning, the Nine Heavens Sword in Yingzi's hand directly pierced through Qu Jianshu's chest and was then swiftly withdrawn. Not even a speck of blood stained the Nine Heavens Sword. Qu Jianshu clutched at his chest and slumped to the ground from his chair, his eyes wide open in death.


Hu Yonghe and Hu Xiaoqi were taken aback, not just by Yingzi's ancient hero-like swordsmanship but also by Lin Mo daring to order her to kill someone in public.


"Lin… Lin Mo, you dare kill President Qu, don't you know that Master Zhang is in Shu Province? He will surely kill you," Chu Jiaoyong said, his face pale as snow as he kept backing away.


This Lin Mo was simply a Killing God, who didn't bother with rules or laws; he killed as he wished, and how could you deal with someone like that? He didn't even give you a chance to negotiate.


"I'll go to him personally, and as for you… you can die now!" Lin Mo said indifferently, having no desire to waste words on such ants.


The moment his words ended, Yingzi swirled the Nine Heavens Sword in her hands. Purple and cyan light flashed, and the sword light, like a lotus flower, stretched ten meters across and directly pierced through Chu Jiaoyong's chest.


One person, one sword, instantly slew two men!


Hu Xiaoqi was terrified, her visage paling. She was a young lady from the high-class circle of Jiangzhou, accustomed to well-mannered people, playing the piano, studying traditional Chinese painting, and attending various classes and cocktail parties; she had never witnessed a girl of about her age wielding a sword and killing people.


Hu Yonghe sighed inwardly, his lips revealing a bitter smile. This was the true power that Lin Mo had established in Shu Province. If you opposed him, he would kill you. What could you even play with him?


Play business strategies? Play stocks? He would kill you, leaving nothing left, and there would be no game to play.


At that moment, Lu Haotian showed a hint of concern, "Mr. Lin, it is said that the expert backing the Jiangzhou Qu Family is incredibly mighty, far stronger than those Grandmasters you wiped out from the Murong Family last time!"


Lin Mo's expression remained indifferent as he coldly said, "No matter, I will personally visit the Qu Family. Whoever initiated this in the Qu Family, I will eliminate them!"


Lin Mo exuded an emperor-like aura of dominion and slaughter. Although it lasted for less than a second, everyone felt an overwhelming majestic presence. It was fortunate that Lin Mo retracted it quickly; otherwise, the people present might have spat blood on the spot.


"Mr. Lin, now that Die Mo Pharmaceutical is in crisis, I am willing to offer my modest assistance," Hu Yonghe, being a businessman, recognized this as an excellent opportunity to bond with Lin Mo and quickly bowed in respect.


Even though the Qu Family had the backing of a very powerful expert, Hu Yonghe felt that Lin Mo's potential was incredibly strong!


"Good, you first help Lu Haotian. I have other matters to attend to, " Lin Mo nodded. Die Mo Pharmaceutical indeed needed some help right now.


After speaking, Lin Mo's gaze turned toward the direction of West City in Shu Province. Just a moment ago, Lin Mo had directly extracted the memories of that Qu Jianshu.


(…After finishing this plot, I realized it resembles something I had written before. I apologize for that. Tomorrow I'll contemplate the plot well. I'm planning to write more about the Martial Arts World on Earth. What do you think—should I write more on Earth, or should we leave Earth sooner? If we should write more on Earth, I'll create another Martial Arts World with more experts. If you think we should leave Earth sooner, we'll do so.)
