Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 981: Chapter 1010: Giving the Organization a Way Out

”Hehe... I didn’t expect you to notice these details so clearly. It seems I’ve underestimated you.”

The head of the Ability Society walked out with a smile, but inside, he was cursing Lin Zifeng thousands of times.

He had finally hidden away, yet Lin Zifeng pointed him out openly, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face.

”Since you’re here, why bother hiding? Does the head really not want to see me?”

Lin Zifeng casually picked up the tea cup and continued savoring the bitterness of the tea.

The calmer he appeared, the more it puzzled Long Zaitian. The person he had once supported was now unreadable even to him.

Not to mention cultivation.

Just considering Lin Zifeng’s current mindset, he used to be able to somewhat predict what Zifeng was thinking, but not anymore.

As he sat there, Long Zaitian had no idea why this guy came to the Martial Arts Alliance.

”Lin kid, what brings you here today?”

To alleviate the awkwardness of the Ability Society head, Long Zaitian hurriedly asked about the purpose.

”Actually, it’s nothing major. I just hope Old Dragon can do me a small favor.”

”Oh?!”

Long Zaitian furrowed his brows, his expression serious, and asked, ”What exactly is this small favor you’re talking about? Let’s hear it.”

Long Zaitian and the Ability Society head exchanged a glance, neither understanding what this guy intended to say.

However, the head of the Ability Society furrowed his brows deeply, for he alone knew the meaning behind Lin Zifeng’s words.

”I think Zhan Long has reported the situation with the Heavenly Gate to you. Now that the Heavenly Gate is destroyed, the Sect Leader Romison has escaped, but the bodies of the Twelve Eagles were stolen. I don’t know which group took them, so I’m here hoping Old Dragon can help me.”

”So what do you mean? How should I help?”

The Ability Society head pursed his lips and said solemnly, ”You have to understand, the Martial Arts Alliance is exclusively working for the Empire. It doesn’t meddle in personal affairs.”

”Since it’s working for the Empire, then fine. This is the credential Old Dragon gave me earlier, clearly stating my rank. I believe this identity also counts as being part of the Empire, right?”

Lin Zifeng smiled and took out the credential Long Zaitian had given him from his pocket.

”Just with this?”

The Ability Society head gave a couple of cold laughs and shook his old head.

”Yes! Just with this,” Lin Zifeng nodded solemnly. ”With this, it’s enough. Now I need to find the bodies of my former brothers. I hope they can be found safe and sound, regardless of life or death. If I find out who stole their bodies, then sorry, whoever it is, I, Lin Zifeng, will be relentless!”

After speaking, Lin Zifeng’s presence became sharp, his deep eyes brightened, and his cool lips exuded arrogance.

The Ability Society head understood clearly that Lin Zifeng sought Martial Arts Alliance’s help as a way for someone to back down. If the Twelve Eagles’ bodies could be returned safely, Lin Zifeng wouldn’t pursue the matter.

However, if the bodies remained missing.

Lin Zifeng would spare no cost to find them, even if it meant falling out with certain groups.

”Haha, Lin kid, since you’re here, just enjoy some tea. Why speak so dramatically? It’s not a big deal. If you really need us, the Martial Arts Alliance, to help, it’s not a big problem. But you must consider the consequences.”

”Consequences? What consequences?”

Lin Zifeng shrugged indifferently.

”Just as you said, you indeed are someone I personally trained and gave this identity to. But don’t forget that the Martial Arts Alliance can grant you status and power, just as it can take everything you have now! Be mindful in your actions.”

”Such wise words, then. Anyway, I’ve explained my intentions, and I hope Old Dragon will help me. The Martial Arts Alliance is known as a global intelligence center. This small issue should be manageable.”

To avoid straining relations, Lin Zifeng still stood up and personally poured tea for Long Zaitian and the Ability Society head.

As for whether this tea would ease tension, Lin Zifeng no longer considered.

”You’re really that confident?”

The Ability Society head’s brows tightened, growing increasingly dissatisfied with Lin Zifeng’s attitude.

”It’s not confidence; it’s my principle as Lin Zifeng. I live to protect four things, and if I can’t achieve them, my life has no meaning.”

”Those four things?”

”The land beneath my feet, the woman in my embrace, my closest parents, and the brothers by my side!” Lin Zifeng said earnestly.

These words greatly touched Long Zaitian and the head, but they hid their true feelings well, maintaining a genteel exterior.

On their faces, besides kindness and amiability, Lin Zifeng couldn’t find any wrongdoing.

”Alright! I agree!”

Long Zaitian patted his thigh, his eyes twinkling, walked up to the Ability Society head, and laughed, ”Old Meng, what do you think?”

”Since you have no objections, what else can I say?”

The Ability Society head nodded smilingly without interrupting.

”Then I’ll trouble you both.”

After saying that, he pulled out a cigarette and lit it, under the smiling gaze of the two old men, Lin Zifeng slowly left...

The Ability Society head abruptly stood up from the chair, and his broad hand slammed on the table, sending the tea cups flying with splashes!

”Whoa, whoa, whoa, Old Meng, no need to get so mad, right?”

”Do you have any precaution at all?”

The Ability Society head’s sharp eyes widened, saying, ”This kid is getting more and more outrageous. Didn’t you see his arrogant and conceited attitude? If given more time, if this kid’s ability strengthens, there’ll be no need for our Ability Society with the Martial Arts Alliance. Can’t you think of a way to suppress him?”

”Hehe... I understand, but not now.”

Long Zaitian continued sipping his tea, looking as if he wasn’t worried at all.

”This kid’s cultivation has already become difficult for me to gauge. According to our Ability Society Martial Artist’s report, this kid’s strength and cultivation are already three times more terrifying than Zhan Long’s. Don’t you fear raising a tiger that could strike back? Don’t you fear him retaliating against us?”
