"But then again, although Young Master Zhao is a dissolute figure, he does have some influence in Longdu," Jiang Meili said. "You must be careful these past few days!"
"We don't mind!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Just make sure you're safe. After all, Xiao Ke is with me."
"Don't you see? With my own strength just now, many skilled men were no match for me," Jiang Meili said proudly. "I'm not bragging, even if ten, or even a hundred came, they'd be nothing in my eyes!"
"If a Grandmaster, or someone above Grandmaster level were to come," Lu Fan shrugged. "It's better to be careful, don't be too impetuous!"
Jiang Meili was startled. He was quite curious. Lu Fan was just an ordinary person, so why did he know about martial arts realms and be so familiar with them?
Meanwhile, on the other side, Young Master Zhao was full of displeasure. "Go hire some assassins and take care of that person for me!"
"Wouldn't that be too much?" a man asked. "The Xia family in Longdu was just wiped out. If there's more trouble, perhaps..."
"Just do as I say, don't be so talkative!" Young Master Zhao said coldly. "That brat dared to talk back to me face to face. In the entire Longdu, no one has such audacity!"
The man nodded slightly, not daring to say anything more. He dared not delay any of Young Master Zhao's orders.
Lu Fan and Lin Ke returned to Riverfront Manor. However, Lin Ke spent the whole day making calls, informing various managers of Qingyun Group to prepare for their entry into Longdu. This way, they could establish a foothold in the city.
By midnight, Jiang Meili returned home. Seeing Lu Fan and the other, he was slightly relieved. "It's good that you're alright. I was worried all day at the company!"
"Worried about what?" Lu Fan asked in surprise.
"Young Master Zhao is not someone to be trifled with. He has money and power in Longdu. If you offend him, he's unlikely to let it go," Jiang Meili said frankly. "I'm afraid he might do something to you!"
"Don't worry about that!" Lu Fan shrugged. "We're perfectly fine!"
Jiang Meili felt a bit helpless. What he said was true, Lu Fan might be in danger these few days. But Lu Fan's nonchalance made him slightly angry.
After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms. Jiang Meili was about to open his computer when his eyes sharpened, and he looked outside. He sensed a subtle crisis, a crisis that could be fatal.
Thinking of this, he hurried upstairs, wanting to notify Lu Fan. This sense of danger was unmistakable.
Meanwhile, not far from Riverfront Manor, three snipers were positioned nearby, looking quite professional, holding walkie-talkies.
"What's going on? I had him in my sights just now, but suddenly he disappeared!"
A sniper on the 18th floor of Riverfront Manor said.
"We saw him too just now, but now he's vanished!"
The other two snipers also chimed in. They had received substantial payment, and if this job wasn't completed, they wouldn't get a single cent. This felt extremely unfair to them.
"How about we change our positions and storm Riverfront Manor directly? After killing him, we can claim our reward!" another sniper suggested.
At that moment, in the center of Riverfront Manor, Lu Fan stood behind the sniper and said with great interest, "Your position is well chosen, but your reaction is too slow! Snipers like you are unqualified!"
The man turned back abruptly, looking at Lu Fan before him with disbelief. He had seen very clearly that Lu Fan was in Riverfront Manor. How could he have appeared here in the blink of an eye?
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, Lu Fan exerted a slight force. The sniper rifle fell from the man's hand, and even his walkie-talkie instantly malfunctioned.
"These things are nothing in front of me!" Lu Fan said directly. "Did Young Master Zhao send you?"
"Yes, he sent us!" The man nodded quickly and then knelt on the ground. Only now did he realize that Lu Fan was a master, and an absolute master, otherwise he wouldn't have such strength.
"I didn't expect you to be so honest!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "How much did he pay you?"
"This..." The man froze, his expression changing. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to ask that.
"I'll pay you twice his price to go and kill him in return," Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Do you think this deal is worth it? It even includes your life!"
"Is that true?" The man's face lit up. "Can you really give double?"
"If you don't believe me, you don't have to do it!" Lu Fan shrugged. "But ultimately, it will lead to a dead end."
"Of course, I'll do it!"
The man quickly knelt and begged for mercy. He didn't want to die, especially at his age.
"Since you're doing it, then do it properly!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. "Don't delay at all. The money in this card is enough for double the price, but if you take the money and run, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth and make you pay!" Su Dan Novel Network
"Sir, please rest assured, I will never do that!" The man cupped his fists. Having had his life spared by Lu Fan, he now knew how formidable Lu Fan was and naturally dared not oppose him.
Lu Fan stood on the 18th floor, looking at the snipers in the two flanking positions. Two leaves appeared in his hand, like deadly flying swords, instantly killing them.
Lu Fan would not be merciful to such killers. He knew very well how many lives these assassins had on their hands.
The sniper who survived heard the thud of bodies falling and was terrified. Only now did he truly understand how powerful Lu Fan was.
They had a reputation in the assassination world and rarely missed their targets. But this time, not only did they miss, but they were killed in return, and even turned. This was something he had never witnessed before.
Meanwhile, inside Riverfront Manor, Jiang Meili went upstairs and, not seeing Lu Fan, felt curious. He saw Lin Ke working, appearing very busy.
"Xiao Ke, where did Mr. Lu go?" Jiang Meili asked in surprise.
