Chapter 27：The Agency of Special Affairs (1/2)

Following the lead of the maid, Lu Xuan arrived at the front hall. Along the way around secluded corners, he could see some bodyguards patrolling inconcspicuously.

Of course, that was only how it appeared to look on the surface!

That should be all the security the Lings had. When facing petty thieves, or even burglars, security like this could already be considered quite strict.

However, if real cultivators were to come, a force of such strength would be fragile, to say the least. Even if the breacher weren't a martial arts legend like him, and was instead a regular Baodan Grandmaster, no one could ever stop them.

If the assassination organization was armed, they could even barge right in.

While the Lings were considered one of the ultra-rich, in a society where laws and regulations had not yet caved, the firearms restriction laws still stood firmly in place.

In the hall, Ling Fei and Ling Huang sat and waited on the sofa.

In a cleared area in the middle of the hall, two figures were fiercely fighting.

One of them was none other than Lin Sheng. Directly across him was a square-faced plump man. Unleashing a full-on attack on Ling Sheng, he was trading blows with a ferociousness and swiftness that was incompatible with his body shape.

”That's quite interesting. They are both level four HuaJin Masters, warriors about to step into the stage of level five Baodan Grandmaster!”

Lu Xuan could tell their real prowess with just a single look. Their fight was quite violent, and it had more aesthetical value than the battle between Lu Xuan and Lin Sheng.

They both countered their opponent's attacks with even fiercer attacks, and every blow was solid and fast.

At the side, Ling Fei and Ling Huang thoroughly enjoyed the battle. As outsiders of the warriors' circle, a spar like this would, of course, interest them more.

The man sitting by Ling Huang's side looked around the same age as Ling Huang. He looked easy-going and cordial, like a warmhearted mister from next door.

”How's that, Old Ling? What do you think of this subordinate of mine?”

The middle-aged Mister tapped Ling Huang on the shoulder.

”It looks like you've gotten yourself a fine disciple, Old Yun!” Ling Huang replied.

The middle-aged Mister beamed in pride as he said, ”While you have made quite a name for yourself in the business circle over the past few years, I haven't been slacking off either!”

”This is?” asked the middle-aged Mister when he saw Lu Xuan.

”This is Mr. Lu, the one I've been mentioning. Back then, he was the one who saved my daughter from the clutches of the Poison Scorpion!”

Ling Huang stood up and introduced them.

”So, you're that Mr. Lu?” Old Yun, the middle-aged man, finally wiped that easy-going look from his face. As his eyes became eagle-sharp in a split second, so did his aura.

”Mr. Lu, allow me to introduce you to my old comrade, Yun Sheng!” Ling Huang introduced to Lu Xuan.

At the same time, the two men locked in battle ceased their attacks and looked over, especially the square-faced fatty who snapped his head to look at Lu Xuan. He had an unreadable expression in his orbs.

Upon seeing how laid back Lu Xuan was, the square-faced fatty could not help but second-guess. Was he indeed the one who punched the Poison Scorpion to death with a single fist?

He looked nothing like how he imagined him to be.

The man was the square-faced fatty who appeared at the scene of Ling Fei's kidnapping.

”I am Yun Sheng, Head of the Fu City's Agency of Special Affairs. Your reputation precedes you, Mr. Lu!”

Yun Sheng took Lu Xuan's hand and gave it a firm shake.

”The Agency of Special Affairs!”
