Chapter 346: The Long Road Ahead
Chapter 346: The Long Road Ahead
November 3rd, 2024
In a flash, Xie Tian identified the man behind him.
"It's Wang Tong, the Director of the City North Enforcement Bureau!"
He had long harbored resentment towards this person.
Why should he toil and bear the blame while this man did nothing?
All he had to do was sit back and count his money?
Was it because of the power this man held? If not for his position, he wouldn't even give him a second glance.
"The Director of the Enforcement Bureau."
Jiang Cheng silently understood why.
He noted the name and asked, "What about his strength?"
"He's just a Fifth Rank Primordial Energy Warrior. Humph, he's only nominally a Fifth Rank. In a real fight, he probably can't even beat a Fourth Rank."
Xie Tian let out a cold laugh.
The image of a middle-aged man with a potbelly appeared in his mind. Without waiting for Jiang Cheng's further inquiry, he revealed the address.
"He lives in the Heavenly River Estate, Villa 13. I've been there many times."
"The Heavenly River Estate?"
Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes.
This estate, just like the Dinghu Neighborhood where he lived, was one of the most upscale neighborhoods. While it had visible defense forces, it was unrealistic to stop someone like Jiang Cheng, a Ninth Rank Primordial Energy Warrior.
If he could infiltrate and kill this man, he would not only rid the people of a scourge but also gain a significant profit from the man's wealth, far surpassing that of the Wild Wolf Gang's leader or even the current master of the Gale Martial Arts Academy. However, his instincts told him that things weren't that simple.
What if there was a sensory array similar to the one in the Dinghu Neighborhood within that estate? He would be detected as soon as he entered.
Who knew if Wang Tong had any experts by his side? Hearing Jiang Cheng's doubt, a bitter smile appeared on Xie Tian's face.
He knew that Jiang Cheng wasn't easily fooled and reluctantly admitted, "Yes, there's always a Tenth Rank Primordial Energy Warrior protecting him, and I estimate he has a defensive artifact on him. Even a Grandmaster would need to exert some effort to destroy it."
At this point, he sighed,
"To be honest, I'm not willing to lend money to others, but he threatened me. If I didn't comply, he'd make sure my martial arts academy couldn't operate here. So, I..."
"Hehe."
Jiang Cheng let out a cold laugh.
Did he really take him for a fool? So easy to deceive.
"It's true!"
Seeing Jiang Cheng's disbelief, Xie Tian panicked and quickly explained, "No, no, I didn't mean that."
In truth, that was exactly what he meant.
He hoped that Jiang Cheng and Wang Tong would become bitter enemies.
In fact, after hearing Xie Tian's words, Jiang Cheng did develop murderous intentions.
Wang Tong, he couldn't deal with him, but what about his son?
But upon further thought, he felt that doing so would also carry significant risks.
After all, the guy before him was as good as dead today.
If Wang Tong's son were to get into trouble as well...
Ordinary people might not suspect him, but Bing Li might not be so forgiving. The opponent knew his style so well that even without evidence, a mere suspicion could cause trouble if he were to inform Wang Tong.
Therefore, it was enough to deal with Xie Tian today, and there would be plenty of time later.
"One last question."
Jiang Cheng spoke up.
"What's the name of the loan company you're running now, and where is it located?"
Xie Tian's heart skipped a beat.
After all he had revealed, the other party still wasn't willing to let him go?
The next moment, he turned and ran, feeling that doing something was better than doing nothing.
However, Jiang Cheng's speed was a fraction faster, and as Xie Tian turned, a punch was unleashed.
Xie Tian's body flew like a cannonball, not only shattering his bones but also pulverizing his internal organs. He landed, barely clinging to life.
As Jiang Cheng drew closer, Xie Tian's eyes revealed a hint of despair and deep resentment.
He never dreamed that a Ninth Rank Primordial Energy Warrior would suddenly show up at his door. Otherwise, if he had been wearing that combat suit, even if he couldn't defeat his opponent, escaping wouldn't have been a problem.
Just then, a surge of pain hit him.
The next second, his vision went black, and he knew nothing more.
Jiang Cheng glanced at the corpse on the ground.
His heart didn't feel as relieved as he had imagined.
This guy was just a pawn; the mastermind was still at large.
He shook his head and turned towards the stairs. The few people who had been there earlier were nowhere to be found.
"They escaped?"
He muttered to himself.
That was understandable.
No one was a fool; seeing the situation, it would be strange not to run.
However, he decided to search for them again.
Those people weren't the mastermind, but they were accessories. It would be best to eliminate them together, and if possible, he could ask them about the location of the newly opened loan company.
...
In a room on the second floor.
The previous group had locked the door from the inside and hadn't even turned on the lights. In the darkness, their eyes met, each revealing the fear within.
It was terrifying.
In their minds, their 8th Rank master had been knocked away in a single encounter.
Then, from behind, they heard more sounds.
They dared not listen further, let alone go and check, but they also dared not leave directly.
Because if Xie Tian was dead, it was one thing, but if he wasn't, and they were discovered to have fled, the consequences would be dire.
So, despite their fear, they didn't run away. Instead, they found a hidden room and hid.
They would wait for that person to leave and then go up to check the situation.
If Xie Tian wasn't dead, that would be best.
If he was, they could still get a good sum of money, and most importantly, there was a combat suit worth twenty million on the fifth floor!
This was also a significant reason why they hadn't left immediately.
Time slowly passed, and for the people in the room, every second felt like an eternity.
After an unknown duration, just as someone was about to speak up.
Outside, faint footsteps could be heard.
Their faces turned pale with fright, and they held their breaths, not daring to make a sound.
