The Eternal Club 12: Defying the Laws of Nature
“Since we’ve already completed the transaction, I shall take my leave,” said Lu Li as he smiled brightly at the four key members of the Rong family.
Before any of them could respond, he activated his speed up time mode again.
“One hundred times.”
Lu Li turned to walk towards the bedroom door. The mode was activated just as he took the first step, separating him from the rest of the world instantly.
Even though Lu Li seemed to be walking within the same dimension as everyone else, he also seemed to be part of a different space-time.
This obvious contradiction was so disorienting that everyone watching Lu Li walk away felt all their hair standing on end.
To the four men, Lu Li had merely lifted one foot after bidding them farewell and disappeared from the room before that foot had landed back on the floor.
By the time they saw him again, he was already nearly a hundred meters away from them.
After Lu Li disappeared from their sight, the four men stared in a mix of shock and amazement at the empty doorway of the room without saying anything for a long time.
After a long while, they exchanged glances.
Rong Zhixin, the head of Square Digital Inc., shuddered. He reached into his sleeves to rub his arms and realized that his arms were completely covered in goosebumps.
The other three men also felt goosebumps all over.
“I never thought that such an enigmatic person could possibly exist in this world,” said Rong Zhijian in a shaken voice after exhaling deeply.
“He’s not like those martial artists who have better physical training than the average person. This is a supernatural sort of power,” said Rong Zhiquan, the same man who was both the general manager at Namyeung Cotton Mills as well as the head of the Textile Council of Hong Kong.
As men of high social standing, they knew of great martial artists, including those who only fought to kill and not merely to perform.
But no matter how strong and powerful those people were, they were still made from ordinary flesh and blood. They could even be shot dead with just one bullet. Lu Li’s ability made him practically godlike.
“We must remain friendly with him and must not become his enemy for any reason,” said Rong Zhikuan.
“Mr. Lu’s existence might be a good thing to us,” said Rong Zhijian after giving it some thought.
From time immemorial, whether you held absolute power over the rest of the world or you were a wealthy person with more money than you knew what to do with, they all had one thing in common – they all wished that they could live forever. To the Rong family, Lu Li’s very own existence was showing the way to attaining that.
Just when the four men were about to discuss this matter further, they heard a hoarse voice call out from behind them.
“Zhixin…Zhixin…Zhixin…”
All of them froze for a second before turning around in joy to look at the old man lying on the bed.
The old man who was on his last breath just moments ago had regained some color in his cheeks. He opened his eyes and looked at the four men standing around his bed.
“Second Uncle!”
“Second Uncle, how are you feeling?”
“Dad!”
“Second Uncle!”
The four men called out to Rong Yiyou one after another excitedly.
“Doctor! DOCTOR!”
