Unrivaled Soldier in the City

"Won’t that be dangerous? You have to be careful." Looking at Lin Kuang’s smiling face, Lin Guo’er voiced her concern.

Lin Kuang dealt with these sorts of things every day. Although he had always been safe so far, if you walk along the riverbank often enough, your shoes are bound to get wet. As his woman, how could Lin Guo’er not worry?

Hearing her worried words, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but smile. "It’s alright, I’ll be fine. I’m not going alone. This time, many experts will be coming. Among them, I’m nothing special—just a gofer running errands."

"Yeah, right. As strong as you are, you’d be a gofer?" Lin Guo’er said, clearly unconvinced.

"Of course. In your eyes, I’m very strong, but to the true experts, my strength doesn’t amount to much. Now, let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s pointless. You just need to know that I’ll be fine. That’s enough," Lin Kuang said with a beaming smile, sitting on the edge of the bed.

At his words, Lin Guo’er gave him a helpless but affectionate glare. "Alright, I hope you’ll be fine."

"Of course. Let’s get some rest," Lin Kuang said with a mischievous smile.

Hearing this, Lin Guo’er rolled her eyes, and the two began to rest. Once the lights were out, they did what lovers do.

The next morning, Lin Kuang rose early to wash up. Lin Guo’er was still fast asleep; after all her exertion, she naturally needed a good rest. After freshening up, Lin Kuang got dressed, left the underground space, and headed up to the villa.

By then, Zhang Tianshun was also up. The two men exchanged smiles upon meeting and then began to eat breakfast.

"Mr. Lin, it’s been confirmed. They will be arriving in a few hours," Zhang Tianshun said as he watched Lin Kuang eat.

Hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded with a smile. "Great. Has the Fan Family noticed anything?"

"No. When the Wumi Building makes a move, we naturally ensure they don’t find out. You can rest assured on that point," Zhang Tianshun replied.

Lin Kuang nodded, smiling. He had great confidence in the Wumi Building’s strength.

After breakfast, with nothing else to do, Lin Kuang and Zhang Tianshun chatted idly.

Around nine in the morning, Lin Guo’er arrived at the villa, where the chefs had also prepared breakfast for her. After eating, Lin Guo’er found Lin Kuang. "I’m going to check on the company," she said. "Mengting just arrived and isn’t familiar with its affairs yet, so I’m going to help her out."

"That’s fine," Lin Kuang nodded. "I have other matters to attend to, so I can’t go with you. But I’ll have someone protect you." As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Zhang Tianshun.

Zhang Tianshun immediately understood and dispatched a Skyline-level expert to accompany Lin Guo’er.

"We just need to wait a little longer. Our people will be here shortly," Zhang Tianshun said to Lin Kuang with a smile.

"Hmm. Which Guardian Elder is coming this time?" Lin Kuang asked after a moment’s thought.

"The Guardian Elder coming this time is Hai Wubian—Elder Hai," Zhang Tianshun said with a smile.

Lin Kuang nodded. He naturally recognized Hai Wubian, as they had met in the Island Country.

"So it’s Elder Hai. And who is coming from the Zhantai, Yao, and Pei families?" Lin Kuang asked again after some thought.

"The Zhantai Family is sending two masters at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top level: Zhantai Jing and Zhantai Xuan. The Yao Family is also sending two masters at that level, Yao Feng and Yao Shan, along with one expert who just reached the Skyline realm, Yao Zhao. The Pei Family is doing the same: two masters at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top level, Pei Chengwu and Pei Chengwen, and one of their juniors who just reached the Skyline realm, Pei Yuandong. That’s nine people in total. They’ll be taking our Wumi Building helicopter directly here," Zhang Tianshun explained with a smile.

As Wumi Building’s man in charge in New York, Zhang Tianshun was naturally well-informed about the arrivals.

Lin Kuang nodded, but when it came to the two from the Zhantai Family, he felt a flicker of annoyance. After all, he had run into Zhantai Xuan and Zhantai Jing back in Yanjing. Zhantai Xuan had been incredibly overbearing and had nearly wounded him severely. If Diwu Baiyu hadn’t stepped in and driven them back, Lin Kuang would have been in serious trouble that day. Therefore, he was not exactly pleased about seeing them.

Besides, the mention of the Zhantai Family made him think of the innocent Zhantai Mingyue. He smiled at the thought of that girl. That pure, simple girl was so endearing, and he was very fond of her. He wondered how she had been doing lately.

As Lin Kuang was lost in thought, Zhang Tianshun’s cell phone suddenly rang.

Glancing at the caller ID, Zhang Tianshun quickly answered. "Hello?... Okay, I’m heading out now. We can be there in half an hour. Alright... yes... that’s all for now," he said hurriedly.

He hung up and turned to Lin Kuang with a smile. "Mr. Lin, Elder Hai and the others are about to arrive. I’m going to the airport to pick them up. Would you like to come along?"

"Of course, let’s go together," Lin Kuang nodded.

"Alright, let’s go," Zhang Tianshun said with a smile. The two of them then turned and left, heading for the New York airport in a Rolls-Royce limousine.

About twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the airport. Lin Kuang and Zhang Tianshun exited the vehicle and stood at the entrance, waiting quietly.

Less than five minutes passed before Hai Wubian and the eight others appeared in Lin Kuang’s line of sight.

Pei Yuandong, of course, was someone Lin Kuang knew well. Lin Kuang had also met Yao Zhao once before; they had sparred, and after Yao Zhao was defeated, he had left the East Sea. As for Yao Zhao’s sister, Yao Wenwen, her relationship with Lin Kuang was rather ambiguous, though nothing was official between them.

Seeing Hai Wubian, Zhang Tianshun bowed immediately. "Elder Hai."

"Elder Hai, we meet again," Lin Kuang said with a smile, cupping one fist in the other as a sign of respect.

"Alright, alright, no need for ceremony. This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s go first and speak when we get back," Hai Wubian said with a smile.

Lin Kuang and Zhang Tianshun nodded in agreement. The group boarded the vehicle, and the driver headed toward the Wumi Building.

Seated in the car, Zhantai Xuan shot Lin Kuang a look of displeasure, his eyes filled with anger. Zhantai Xuan had never forgotten the humiliation he’d suffered at the hands of Diwu Baiyu. Since Lin Kuang was the cause of it all, he naturally held a deep grudge against him.

Zhantai Jing, however, remained calm, as if nothing had ever happened.
