"Er Shi Xiong, we… we seem to have provoked a troublesome fellow!"
After a full ten seconds of silence, Liu Zhichao finally spoke, his voice trembling.
Liu Zhihua snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, and said with a wry smile, "Heh, we truly underestimated China. They actually possess such powerful beings!"
Their eldest brother, Liu Zhixuan, added coldly, "Not just a troublesome fellow, but someone we are currently completely incapable of defeating!"
Liu Zhihua's eyes lit up, "Big brother, you yourself said it's only 'currently' that we can't defeat him. This is temporary…"
"It is temporary, but this also means we must now enter a period of dormancy. Block all information, focus on our legitimate business! Don't let anyone connect us to this matter in any way!"
Liu Zhixuan stood up, issuing his orders word by word. With a casual wave of his hand towards the staff operating the machines, streams of bloody wolf claws materialized out of thin air. The staff members cried out in agony and fell into pools of blood, utterly dead.
Silencing witnesses.
This was what they had to do now!
If this matter leaked to the Chinese authorities, then the China War God would inevitably learn of their existence.
What would they face then?
It would be utter annihilation!
An annihilation they could not withstand!
"Chao! Go handle it!"
Liu Zhihua had no choice but to admit the truth of his elder brother's words and called out to Liu Zhichao.
Liu Zhichao, having regained his senses, quickly nodded in response, "Alright, Er Shi Xiong, rest assured, we absolutely will not let anyone leak this. Also… that guy is unbeatable, but we're not to be trifled with either!"
Liu Zhihua nodded.
After Liu Zhichao left, Liu Zhihua began replaying the previous scene!
Liu Zhihua was meticulously recording Ling Feng's earth-shattering words, even every single movement.
Finally, Liu Zhihua froze the playback on the moment Ling Feng first made his move.
The ice blade attack that emerged from beneath the seawater.
For some reason, images flashed through Liu Zhihua's mind – scenes of ice, as if these ice blades were rushing towards him, yet he couldn't clearly see who was responsible.
The memories buried deep in Liu Zhihua's mind refused to surface.
Finally, he stood up and sighed, "Dormancy. How long will it take this time?"
The calculations of the three Liu brothers were meticulous, and everything seemed to be in order.
However, how could they possibly know.
Even without any direct evidence, Ling Feng could easily analyze their actions. It was inevitable that the Liu Zhiguang Group was behind the trouble.
Moreover, Ling Feng himself already had a prior grudge with the two Liu brothers.
After today, what good days awaited the Liu Zhiguang Group?
To simply disappear and lie low like this, they would have to stop making money and shut down their company entirely.
But were they willing to do that?
…
China, Elder Council!
Zhou Jin injected an injection into Li Tianjiao's shoulder, and then it was properly bandaged.
"Ow, ow, ow…"
Perhaps due to the rough handling during bandaging, Li Tianjiao cried out in pain.
Ling Feng cast a contemptuous glance at Li Tianjiao, "This is what you call pain? Are you even a man?"
"Nonsense, how was I supposed to know there was poison inside the dragon's horn? The pain nerves in my arm are about to explode. Damn it, when will this heal!?"
Li Tianjiao glared at Ling Feng and began to complain incessantly.
Zhou Jin stammered, "Th-three…"
"Three days?" Li Tianjiao asked, confused.
Zhou Jin finally managed to blurt out the rest, "Three months for it to heal!"
Li Tianjiao almost spat out a mouthful of blood, "Three months… why so long?"
"What? You're not happy? This is giving you a long vacation. During this period, both monsters and those restless individuals will be quiet. As the acting museum director, you should also make appearances at the National Martial Arts Gyms in various regions and guide their work!"
Ling Feng said casually.
Li Tianjiao was taken aback and then looked at Ling Feng with suspicion, "You'd be this kind to give me a break? And let me guide work? This is a job with a lot of benefits, are you sure?"
"Sure. Go on a tour, and I'll see how they try to bribe you." Ling Feng's eyes were somewhat cold.
Li Tianjiao shivered and then pouted at Ling Feng, "Damn it, if everyone were incorruptible, the National Martial Arts Gyms would be close to ruin. It's not about fearing corruption; it's having interests that makes development more stable!"
Although Ling Feng didn't entirely agree with Li Tianjiao's statement, he had to admit that some phenomena couldn't be completely eradicated.
Li Tianjiao's eyes darted around, and he suddenly thought of something, "Oh, I get it. You want me to divert attention for you. What? Are you planning a secret inspection?"
Zhou Jin's eyes also lit up.
Was Ling Feng really planning to secretly visit the National Martial Arts Gyms below?
Ling Feng shook his head at Li Tianjiao, "I'm also taking a break. I'm going to take my daughter on a tour across the country, to see the sights and relax!"
"Damn it, just say you're doing a secret inspection, what's there to be embarrassed about…"
Li Tianjiao gave Ling Feng another glare.
Zhou Jin quickly pinched Li Tianjiao's shoulder.
"Ouch, what are you doing?" Li Tianjiao cried out in pain and glared at Zhou Jin.
"Don't, don't say what you shouldn't say. Confidentiality agreement." Zhou Jin reminded him stammeringly.
Li Tianjiao then realized something and shook his head at Ling Feng, "Forget it. I know you have a lot of influence now. If your identity were exposed, it would be really troublesome! You two haven't seen each other in a while, you should take your wife and child out for a bit."
"Yes, the pharmaceutical factory also needs expansion, and the safety zones need to be built. If you don't want to take a vacation, you can come and help me."
Ling Feng said casually.
Li Tianjiao immediately shrunk his neck and then raised his seemingly crippled arm, "Big brother, can you bear to do that?"
Ling Feng looked at Li Tianjiao very seriously, "I can."
"Damn it!"
…
That night, in the Capital Safety Zone, the director of the National Martial Arts Gym in District Nine was replaced.
Such a significant event should have caused a huge stir in the capital.
However, in reality, it did not cause such a massive sensation.
This was all because the appearance of the China War God had completely dominated all the news headlines.
Everyone was discussing the existence of the China War God.
Just as Yang Linghua had said before, the China War God was now the faith of Chinese martial artists!
And regardless of how the outside world was in an uproar, how lively it was, how the drums beat and firecrackers sounded.
In Ling Feng's humble home, a family sat together, warmly enjoying their dinner.
The grief from Elder Chen's passing was only temporary. This family was still exhilarated by everything Ling Feng had done today, especially Lin Shuai Nan.
From the moment Ling Feng entered, Lin Shuai Nan had been holding three sticks of incense and bowing continuously…
It was truly… like worshipping a deity!
