Chapter 1112: Getting Tampered With

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Chen Zhizhong was but an ordinary martial artist two years ago. He wasn’t even rated as a second-rate expert whatsoever, and he could only bully some street rats then. After cultivating for two years, however, his cultivation level progressed and was in the late-stage of Foundation Establishment. Killing experts at the martial arts grandmaster level was absolutely an easy task, as easy as killing an ant for him.

“Master…”

He began to speak but then hesitated.

Tang Xiu seemed to understand what was going through his mind. His eyebrows raised and he asked, “Do you have no confidence in yourself? Just because they are definitely experts from the state’s Special Abilities Bureau, so you dare not to meet them at all?”

“I feel like that a bit, indeed,” said Chen Zhizhong with a forced smile. “After all, I’ve only been a businessman before, while they are the armed forces of the country. They may not obey my command at a critical moment even if I want to, and the consequences will be unimaginable.”

“You also said that you used to be a businessman. But your current identity is different. You’re now a cultivator, more so, one who is at the Foundation Establishment Stage. You can say that the late-stage of Foundation Establishment is nothing in my eyes, but you’re like a powerhouse with god-like abilities in the eyes of others. Now, let me tell you something. There are no more than five people in the entire Special Abilities Bureau who can defeat you.”

Chen Zhizhong’s eyes lit up with self-confidence raising up in his heart. He looked at Tang Xiu’s serious expression before gritting his teeth and saying, “I won’t let you down, Master. Definitely.”

“Zhizhong, you must always remember that you’re no longer your past self.” Tang Xiu finally smiled and said, “The current you is no longer limited to the business world, nor to the country. You’re now my disciple, so your vision can’t be confined to this Earth only. The universe is vast and countless races exist. There’s also a higher plane above ours with myriad races and countless walks of life, countless of whom are experts who have the ability to destroy the sky and earth with a snap of their fingers. You’ll face these celestial immortal powerhouses with their godly powers in the future, not the mortal beings on Earth.”

“Hiss…”

Chen Zhizhong couldn’t help but gasp in cold air. It was his first time hearing such a shocking statement from Tang Xiu.

“M-Master… is what you said all true? There are countless aliens in our universe and there’s also a higher plane? Are there really existences who can destroy Earth with just a snap of their fingers?” Chen Zhizhong’s voice shivered, yet there were fear and expectation in his voice.

Tang Xiu sighed inwardly. He realized that Chen Zhizhong wasn’t given much guidance from him ever since the man had become his disciple. It felt rather pitiful to think that he even told him about the cultivation world and even some higher levels. After rekindling his cigarette, Tang Xiu said, “Zhizhong, I think it should be time you hand over your company to your son, no? Huh? You… something is amiss with you!”

His expression suddenly changed and intense killing intent overflowed in his eyes. He immediately grabbed Chen Zhizhong’s neck and a sharp dagger was ready to stab his heart.

“M-Master…?!”

Disbelief covering his face, Chen Zhizhong simply couldn’t believe that Tang Xiu would attack him all of a sudden.

“Hmph… extend your wrist!” Tang Xiu snorted coldly and ordered.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhizhong immediately extended his left wrist and felt Tang Xiu move the sharp dagger away from his heart. Only then did his expression slightly relaxed.

Tang Xiu put away the dagger and checked the man’s pulse. He also used his spiritual sense to inspect him and was immediately furious since there was a seal on Chen Zhizhong’s body. This restriction seal was also extremely prohibiting, which not only blocked Chen Zhizhong’s strength but also affected his perception, causing his spiritual sense to be trapped within his mind sea, all the while creating a huge discrepancy in his memory.

“Master!” cried out Chen Zhizhong cautiously.

Loosening his neck, Tang Xiu then asked in a heavy voice with eyes full of killing intent, “Have you seen anyone after you left Kunlun Mountain? Can you think of anyone who has messed up with you and tampered with your mind?”

Chen Zhizhong looked confused and shook his head. “After that?! I just returned to Star City and immediately occupied myself with the company affairs, while handing over all the big and small things to my son. About every day… huh? How can I not remember anything after that?”

Tang Xiu released his wrist and said in a deep voice, “Come with me!”

Liangang City.

The Blue Ocean Goldfine Hotel was located in the new development zone of the city which was also a bustling area. Of the 24-story hotel building, the 20th floor was allotted as the presidential suite, which also had the most expensive rate among the hotels in the city.

The room of the presidential suite 2045 was dark and the cool, with the chilling wind blowing in from the outside due to the opened windows. Two figures flickered as they moved lightning-fast and entered through the window. A cigarette lighter lit up a cigarette as the light reflected Tang Xiu’s handsome face.

“We could’ve checked in and taken the room directly, Master.”

Chen Zhizhong had no idea as to why Tang Xiu didn’t want to check-in and rent the room but sneaked into this presidential suite instead. It must be noted that he brought a group of his men to come over and they were now staying at this hotel on the 19th floor.
