Tycoon War God

”Test?”

The man with the glasses laughed. ”You’re Lin Mu, right? You want to test yourself against one of my men?”

”Don’t be ridiculous. I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to take a single punch. If that happens, it won’t be just one person losing face.”

As the man spoke, his gaze swept over Guan Feifei, his smile brimming with sarcasm.

Guan Feifei had an apologetic look on his face, unsure of how to explain.

The man was from the Security Bureau. Given his high status, even people from high society spoke to him politely, which had naturally fostered an attitude of superiority.

”Oh?”

Lin Mu raised an eyebrow. ”I’m afraid I’d kill you with one punch, and then you’d have nowhere to go cry about it.”

Since the other party had been so rude, Lin Mu didn’t hold back either.

”Hmph, sharp-tongued!”

The man snorted coldly. ”Guan Feifei, is this how you handle things? I thought he was a master of national martial arts, but it turns out he’s just some crude thug. To think you had the gall to introduce him here. It’s simply disgraceful!”

In both his tone and demeanor, the man with the glasses revealed his disdain and contempt for Lin Mu.

As someone from the Security Bureau, he had seen plenty of strange and extraordinary people. But most were just frauds, and this Lin Mu seemed to be no different.

He looked plain and completely lacked any distinguished aura, which only deepened his disappointment and worsened his attitude toward Lin Mu.

”Mr. Jin, Lin...”

Before Guan Feifei could explain, Lin Mu spoke indifferently. ”You may be dressed like a gentleman, but I’m surprised such ugly words are coming out of your mouth. Did you forget to brush your teeth, or is it true that a dog can’t spew ivory?”

Lin Mu’s nature was such that if you didn’t provoke him, he wouldn’t bother you. But if you tried to bully him... then sorry, Lin Mu was not a timid or fearful person.

What he liked most was to grind the faces of people like that into the dirt and stomp on them!

”What did you say?”

Just as expected, Mr. Jin’s face darkened. ”Kid, do you even know what you’re talking about? Do you have any idea how important this is? Then again, how could a low-life thug like you ever come into contact with such secrets.”

His words were barbed, revealing his profound disdain for Lin Mu.

The smile on Lin Mu’s face vanished, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

This guy was clearly used to being self-important, thinking he could step on anyone he pleased.

Lin Mu was about to explode, but then he saw Guan Feifei desperately signaling him with his eyes.

”What? You want to fight?” Mr. Jin sneered, his face full of scorn. ”A small fry like you isn’t even qualified to make me lift a finger.”

”In that case, get lost!” Lin Mu said coolly. ”Get lost while I’m still not in the mood to kill anyone.”

”Kid, watch your attitude!”

Mr. Jin remained silent, but the tall man behind him spoke up. He chided coldly, ”Is that any way to speak to Mr. Jin? Apologize, now!”

Lin Mu’s expression turned abruptly cold, and a sharp gleam shot from his eyes.

”Apologize, you say?”

Lin Mu raised his palm, ready to strike.

”You want to fight?” the tall man said with excitement. ”You’re truly looking for death!”

He didn’t take Lin Mu seriously at all; in fact, he didn’t give him a second thought. The man looked soft and weak, with no hint of a Martial Artist’s aura. He had no presence whatsoever.

He hailed from a mysterious military unit tasked with protecting important leaders. He was so highly regarded that he had even attended a professional military academy, so he naturally looked down on an ordinary person like Lin Mu.

Just as the two were about to come to blows, Guan Feifei interjected anxiously, ”Gentlemen, our purpose here is to rescue the hostage. If you start fighting, won’t you just become a laughingstock for the kidnappers?”

”Hmm, that’s true,” Mr. Jin said. ”But you’ve also reminded me of something. Guan Feifei, I came here to inform you that you no longer need to involve yourself in this matter. The Security Bureau will be taking full responsibility.”

”What?”

Guan Feifei was stunned. Clearly, he had not expected this.

”What? Do you have a problem with that?” Mr. Jin huffed, his voice cold and displeased.

”No,” Guan Feifei said grimly. ”If this is an order from above, I will obey it unconditionally. But if this is just your personal decision, then forgive me, but I cannot accept it!”

”Are you daring to defy a military order?” Mr. Jin’s face darkened. ”Guan Feifei, I am not asking for your opinion. You just need to follow orders!”

This was indeed Mr. Jin’s personal decision. Lin Mu’s backtalk had irritated him, and he was taking his anger out on Guan Feifei. You want to save someone? I’ll make sure you can’t! I’ll kick Guan Feifei right out of this operation and see what you can do about it!

”To hell with your orders!”

Guan Feifei had finally reached the end of his patience. This Mr. Jin was the type to take a mile if you gave him an inch. He deeply respected Lin Mu. After all, Lin Mu had saved his grandfather, a huge favor for the Guan Family.

Not only that, but he was a passionate man himself. Lin Mu didn’t want to cause trouble, but Mr. Jin was simply too arrogant. So, Guan Feifei exploded.

”Guan Feifei, watch your tone!” Having been cursed at, a cold glint appeared in Mr. Jin’s eyes. ”Do you realize I can report this behavior to your commanding officer?”

Guan Feifei said coolly, ”Go ahead! Do you really think I’m afraid of you?”

”Fine, just you wait!”

Mr. Jin smirked coldly and immediately made a call. After speaking a few words, he looked at Guan Feifei with a sneer.

Guan Feifei’s phone rang. After listening for a moment, his complexion immediately darkened.

”You... you’re despicable!”

Guan Feifei crushed his phone in his hand, then turned helplessly to Lin Mu. ”Mr. Lin, I’m sorry. This matter is no longer under our control.”

Just now, he had received a call from a high-ranking official in Sichuan-Shu, instructing him to follow Mr. Jin’s arrangements.

”So, you no longer need me for this?” Lin Mu raised an eyebrow and asked.

Guan Feifei nodded helplessly. ”This case has been completely taken over by the Security Bureau. There’s nothing I can do.”

”Alright.”

Lin Mu answered succinctly and turned to leave.

This caught Mr. Jin off guard, preventing him from lashing out. He could only watch Lin Mu’s retreating back with mockery, his eyes full of disdain.

”Mr. Lin, where are you going?”

”Just taking a look around,” Lin Mu replied without looking back.

The man at Mr. Jin’s side doesn’t even possess Inner Strength. Lin Mu knew a bit about Qing Ni, the Sect Leader of the Emei Sect. Although she isn’t a Grandmaster, she’s extremely close. If even she was injured, what chance do these people from the Security Bureau have? If this situation involved a stranger, Lin Mu would have already left. But he couldn’t; Li Qiran is Luo Li’s good friend. Since he had promised, he had to help. Of course, if the people from the Security Bureau could actually pull off the rescue, he would be happy to not get involved.

Mr. Jin shook his head, looking at Guan Feifei with disdain. ”See that? That’s the man you invited. He knows he isn’t strong enough, so he’s just making an excuse to leave.”

”Shut your mouth!” Guan Feifei roared, furious and ashamed. ”You idiot! Mr. Lin’s abilities are beyond your imagination. Trash like you isn’t even worthy of polishing his shoes!”
