Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 692: Chapter 693: The Dragon Among Men

At the instant Hei Ze died, the life stone in Lin Chen’s hand also suddenly turned into red powder.

Lin Chen’s complexion immediately looked terrible; the hard-earned life stone vanished in the blink of an eye.

Just then, several security guards from the hotel surrounded him.

Heping Hotel does not allow murder, that’s a rule of the hotel.

However, now that Hei Ze had died inside the hotel, to put it in unpleasant terms, the person who killed him was challenging the hotel’s authority.

”Sir, what happened here?” At this moment, a manager came over.

”I don’t know what happened; we were just chatting, and then he was gone,” Lin Chen said indifferently.

”What?” After hearing Lin Chen’s words, the manager frowned.

Then, a security guard checked Hei Ze and said, ”Manager, this gentleman died of poisoning.”

The manager’s gaze was fixed intently on Lin Chen, ”Sir, you should know that murder is not allowed in Heping Hotel. Now that this has happened, please cooperate with the investigation.”

If it were someone else, the manager would have had his subordinates apprehend the person immediately, but Lin Chen was different. The scene of his recent battle against the elite assassins was too shocking, and even Heping Hotel did not want to offend such a figure.

Lin Chen nodded, ”Alright, I’ll stay here and cooperate with the investigation, but how will the expenses be calculated? I don’t have any money on me, what about food and accommodation?”

The manager smiled and said, ”That’s no problem, sir. During the investigation, all your expenses will be on the house.”

Lin Chen nodded, ”Although I prevailed massively in the recent battle, my body is covered in wounds. Some of the injuries can immediately heal with the help of the life light, but there are others that require quiet recuperation.”

Standing up, Lin Chen directly rented a private room and moved in.

He opened the APP for the assassin rankings, and the entire list had changed.

Today, Lin Chen had killed nearly five hundred people, and these were almost all within the top five hundred of the assassin rankings; the dead were replaced by newcomers. And now, Blood Rose had proudly secured the first position on the assassin rankings.

At this moment, Lin Chen’s phone rang; it was Mina calling.

”Lin Chen, you bastard, who allowed you to take such a risk? Do you know how worried we were about you?” Mina said furiously.

Lin Chen chuckled, ”I said I would make Blood Rose the most badass assassin organization, and now we’ve done it; we’re ranked first.”

”But will Hei Ze let you go? There are others after him. I don’t care about being first, Milly and I just want you to come back safely,” Mina said anxiously.

Warmed by Mina’s words, Lin Chen smiled and replied, ”Don’t worry, Hei Ze is already dead. The bounty on me has been automatically canceled.”

”You killed Hei Ze? Wasn’t he at the Heping Hotel?” Mina was taken aback.

Lin Chen gave a bitter smile, ”He was poisoned by someone, it wasn’t me.”

”I see, but are your injuries okay?” Mina asked, concerned.

”Don’t worry, I am like a cockroach that can’t be killed; a bit of recovery and I’ll be fine,” Lin Chen said nonchalantly, smiling.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen sat cross-legged in front of the window, the golden life light on his body continuously repairing the wounds within.

Just then, suddenly, footsteps were heard at the door.

Listening to the footsteps, Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly; the person arriving was a master.

Soon, a knock on the door could be heard.

Lin Chen opened the door, only to see an elderly man with graying hair standing at the doorway.

There was no powerful aura about the old man, but he exuded an intimidating pressure that made one’s heart palpitate.

”Elder, do you need something from me?” Lin Chen said with a smile.

The elder looked at Lin Chen and smiled faintly, ”I, Kong Li, wish to get acquainted with Mr. Lin.”

”Kong Li?” Lin Chen was startled for a moment. He had heard of a master from Huaxia’s Sword Sect who was known as Kong Li, who later was said to have left Huaxia to wander abroad. He hadn’t expected to meet him here.

Lin Chen quickly paid his respects to the old man, ”So it is Kong Li the Elder. I’ve heard of the great name of Elder Kong Li back in Huaxia.”

Now Lin Chen finally understood why the Peace Hotel was so formidable. With a demon like Kong Li in residence, who would dare to challenge the hotel’s authority?

Kong Li smiled faintly, ”Those are just empty titles, but I never expected Huaxia to produce a martial arts master like Mr. Lin who single-handedly killed nearly five hundred elite assassins. Now you have truly shaken the whole world.”

Lin Chen laughed, ”I am not keen to kill, and slaughter is not my nature, but if these people aggressively seek my life, naturally I won’t hold back.”

”Hmm, your boldness and ruthlessness remind me of my younger days. We have already established that Hei Ze died of food poisoning, which has nothing to do with you,” Kong Li said indifferently.

Lin Chen nodded, ”Now that it has been clarified, I suppose I can leave the Peace Hotel.”

Kong Li laughed, ”Of course, but I wonder if Mr. Lin would be willing to stay at the Peace Hotel?”

”Stay here?” Lin Chen was taken aback.

”I’ll be frank with you, the owner of the hotel is an old friend of mine who admires Mr. Lin greatly, so he is keen to recruit you,” Kong Li said smilingly.

Only then did Lin Chen understand the purpose of the old man’s visit, ”Please convey my thanks to him for his kind intentions, Elder Kong Li. But I am accustomed to my freedom, and I still have many responsibilities to fulfill, so I must decline.”

Kong Li seemed to have anticipated Lin Chen’s refusal and nodded, ”Alright, I won’t insist then. This platinum VIP card is our hotel’s highest membership card. You can enjoy our most valuable services here, and all expenses will be half off. I hope you will visit us often in the future.”

Lin Chen took the card and smiled, ”I thank Elder Kong Li for this gesture.”

After seeing off Kong Li, Lin Chen also left the Peace Hotel.

Atop a high building of the Peace Hotel, Kong Li and another elderly man stood side by side.

”He actually refused to work for the Peace Hotel, quite an arrogant fellow!” The other elderly man had a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Kong Li smiled faintly, ”Old buddy, this Lin Chen is a real dragon among men. In the future, we can only befriend, not antagonize him, otherwise, even I am not sure of victory.”

”What?” Upon hearing Kong Li’s words, the elder’s expression changed.

There weren’t many who could make Kong Li say such a thing in this world, especially since the person in question was a young man in his twenties.

Lin Chen wanted to investigate the Sky Gang, but upon arriving at the gang’s headquarters, he found the place utterly devastated.

He learned that after Hei Ze’s death, the Sky Gang had suffered a catastrophic strike from other gangs, resulting in the killing of all their high-ranking members in a single night, leading to the gang’s complete downfall.

Gang vendettas were not unusual, but Lin Chen sensed a profound conspiracy within.

The clue to the Life Stone that he had finally found had been cut off like this, leaving Lin Chen somewhat helpless.

At that moment, Xu Jiayi’s call suddenly came in, ”Lin Chen, the fish has taken the bait, come back quickly!”
