Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1160: Chapter 1194: I Am the King of the Mercenary World

As I got closer, although Liu Ruyan didn’t feel any shame, the girl indeed looked very pure, aligning perfectly with many current standards for homebody goddesses.

Especially when she was holding someone’s arm, this left Liu Ruyan quite surprised and wondering about their relationship.

Could she really be his girlfriend?

“Hey, who is she?”

Liu Ruyan wrapped herself in a light veil coming out of the pool, holding a glass of Rafi from ’82 in her hand.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you. This is my childhood friend with whom I grew up playing. Her name is Li Lin,”

Lin Zifeng introduced with a cheerful smile, pointing at Li Lin.

“She’s a good friend of the villa’s owner, Liu Ruyan. Also the rising CEO of Huayu Group.”

“Hello, Sister Liu, I’m Li Lin, Lin’s childhood playmate.”

Li Lin introduced herself politely, not showing any disrespect because of Liu Ruyan’s status. She was a pure girl who didn’t care much about money or status.

“Hi, you can just call me Ruyan.” Liu Ruyan sneakily glanced at someone, seeing his calm expression, she decided not to trouble an innocent girl.

“Alright, Linlin, do you know how to swim?”

Liu Ruyan warmly grabbed Li Lin’s arm, appearing incredibly close, like long-lost sisters.

This sudden change made someone’s eyes shine. Almost made him shout: Demacia!

“Sister Ruyan. I, I can’t swim.” The little girl blushed, as her family background wasn’t great, swimming was never her strong suit.

“No worries, I can teach you.” Saying this, Liu Ruyan gently took her small white hand and led her toward the pool.

Li Lin nervously turned back and blinked at Lin Zifeng, seemingly feeling a little embarrassed.

“Go, go. She’ll teach you.” Lin Zifeng stood there awkwardly, waving his hand.

Thinking to himself: I thought Liu Ruyan might reject her, but it seems I was overthinking.

“By the way, Linlin, was Lin Zifeng really your childhood friend?” After a few steps, Liu Ruyan frowned slightly, feeling their relationship wasn’t simple.

“Yes, Brother Lin’s house was next to mine, we grew up together, but…”

At this point, Linlin stopped, taking a glance back at Lin Zifeng.

“But what? Tell me.”

Liu Ruyan’s eyes brightened with interest upon hearing Li Linlin’s words.

“Ah! What should I say?” Li Lin jumped, quickly changing topics: “Sister Ruyan, I’m afraid I really can’t swim, how about? Let Brother Lin swim with us?”

“…”

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes helplessly, giving someone a glare, and said: “By the way, Linlin, you haven’t finished what you were saying, tell me, what happened later? Did that guy change later? Or what?”

Liu Ruyan seemed very curious about Lin Zifeng’s past, plus this guy knew medical skills and had high martial arts, he might really have some unknown secrets. If his story were made into a movie, it would probably have high ratings!

Li Lin shook her head, without Lin Zifeng’s consent, she wouldn’t easily make his story a topic of conversation. First, it’s a matter of personal morals, and second, it doesn’t benefit Lin Zifeng at all, she didn’t want to do something so foolish.

“You’d better ask Brother Lin, actually I’m not very clear.” Li Lin refused to answer this question.

“… Uh, haha, alright then, let’s not talk about him. Let’s swim, by the way, Linlin, did you bring a swimsuit? The water is warm, filled with stones that can adjust to the natural weather changes, it’s very comfortable, especially beneficial for our female skin.”

Liu Ruyan, being a smart woman, if people didn’t want to mention something, she wouldn’t ask more, further questions might create tension between them.

“I, I brought one.” When it came to swimsuits, Li Lin seemed extremely embarrassed, earlier she assumed Lin Zifeng invited her for swimming, just didn’t expect it to be inside a villa, making her somewhat embarrassed.

“Good, then you go change, I’ll teach you how to swim later.” Saying this, Liu Ruyan personally led the little girl to the changing area.

Soon she returned, confidently walking up to Lin Zifeng, and asked with a hmph: “Hey, let me ask you something, if you want to answer, then answer, if you don’t, forget it. It’s not like I really want to hear it.”

“Oh?!”

Lin Zifeng was perplexed, this girl was really amusing, wanting to know his deeds yet pretending not to care.

“What is it?” Lin Zifeng looked at her, her gaze flickering, as if Lin Zifeng’s intense and deep eyes had glimpsed into her deepest secrets.

“I wanted to ask, did you and Linlin really grow up together, and what happened to you two later?”

“Nothing happened, everything’s been fine.” Lin Zifeng answered.

“You’re lying, didn’t Huahua and the others say you used to be a soldier?”

“Yes, mercenary.” Lin Zifeng didn’t lie to her, answering truthfully. This was something many people knew, he had no need to hide it.

“Mercenary?” Liu Ruyan’s face first showed a trace of envy, then returned to normal: “So it was just a mercenary, I thought it was something like a king.”

“That’s right, I’m the king of the mercenary world!” Lin Zifeng said confidently: “In the entire mercenary world, no one is more powerful than me.”

“…”

“Could you draft your boasts first? Do you think a king among mercenaries would boast so brazenly about being the king?”

Forget it, it seems this guy has become narcissistic to the point of insanity, people who boast about themselves like this, seems my earlier questions were pointless.

“I’m being truthful.” Lin Zifeng rubbed his face, feeling frustrated, even when telling the truth, he’s taken as bragging?

Liu Ruyan couldn’t be bothered with him, the interest she had just built up was crushed.

She wasn’t unfamiliar with mercenaries, after all, her dad had quite a few around him, they were extremely powerful, terrifyingly so, but they never considered themselves amazing.

They always took the ‘Heavenly Gate’s k-9 Death God’ as their idol …

Once incredibly fascinated by mercenaries, Liu Ruyan even had posters of many mercenary hunks made intentionally, looking at them every morning and night.

What piqued her curiosity the most were the few mercenary experts around her father, always talking about a legendary figure in the mercenary world.

“k-9 Death God”

They spoke of him like a legend, yet no one had seen him, later she heard he had passed away…
