Chapter 2
“To think that I would bump into a kidnapping this deep in the forest!”
2A clear voice resounded, after which, Lu Xuan emerged leisurely from the shadows. In his hands was a branch that he just snapped off from a random tree.
1“Looks like someone’s courting death!” That tall, muscular middle-aged man glared at Lu Xuan with a pair of intense, bell-like eyes. Then, he broke into a cruel smile. “Speak of the devil much? You came along right when we decided to kill anyone unlucky enough to pass by!”
3When put side to side with the tall, hulk-ish man, the seemingly skinny Lu Xuan looked unthreatening.
This sentiment was not shared by the ordinary-build young man beside him, however. A wary glare flashed past his eyes as he ordered, “Trying to save the damsel in distress? You’re too naive! Kill him. Be quick!”
3Upon hearing his words, the bulky middle-aged man threw out a fist as he lunged at Lu Xuan at a speed inconceivably fast judging by his physique.
1Lu Xuan did not even spare him a side glance; he simply flicked the branch as he would with a whip.
11All sorts of conflicts often break out on the way of cultivating, and injuries were unavoidable. If they knew nothing of medicine or had little understanding of their bodies, they would have died a long time ago.
“However, what I did was just a quick fix, not a complete cure.” Lu Xuan stated, “I simply alleviated him of the symptoms, granting him temporary relief. It will still be quite difficult to treat him fully.”
1Curing a disease like this would be nothing for his previous incarnation. However, the current him had no such powers, and so he could not wholly heal such diseases as and when he wanted like he used to.
3“These two were not ordinary kidnappers. They looked like violent bandits who have been in this business for too many years. To be caught up with such bandits, who exactly are you two?” Lu Xuan asked.
2Don’t assume that they were weak simply because they could not fend off even a single move from Lu Xuan. On the contrary, they were strong, but it was just that Lu Xuan was too powerful for them. While he just cleared the stage of Core Foundation, he could already rank up there with the top Martial Grandmasters in this world where Spiritual Qi had just newly awakened.
He could see that the two were not ordinary folks. The middle-aged man big and tall was an expert fighter, while the ordinary-build man had terrific skills with guns. It was clear to see that he was a frequent gun user.
3Even if you put them in overseas mercenaries, they would still be one of the elites.
Ordinary kidnappers would not be that highly trained!
That ethereal beauty finally heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that her brother was fine. Then, she took out a name card from the bag she was carrying and offered it to Lu Xuan. “My name is Ling Fei, and this is my brother Ling Yu. Let me put it this way. Ling Huang, the Chairman of the Yue Huang Group, is our father!”
The Yue Huang Group!
It was like someone had opened the floodgates of Lu Xuan’s memories. A financial giant standing at the top of Fu City, the Yue Huang Group had founded many subsidiaries across multiple major industries, such as real estate, construction, entertainment, and cutting-edge technologies, etc. Its Chairman—Ling Huang—was worth several billion. He was even once the wealthiest man in all of Fu City.
1No wonder they attracted violent bandits like those, There were the children of Fu City’s wealthiest tycoon.
“This kidnap was planned by my father’s competitors overseas. They kidnapped me to force my Dad into giving up a billion-dollar project!” Anger flashed past Ling Fei’s beautiful and lovely cheeks, but she quickly calmed down.
1Lu Xuan nodded at her words and was not surprised. These days, you could buy someone’s life with a hundred dollars, more so when you threw a billion-dollar project into the fray.
