Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 265: Chapter 264, Despair Descends

Wu Qiankun harbored deep hatred for Xu Wendong.

From the bottom of his heart, he wanted to destroy him.

It was precisely for this reason that he issued a bounty, even hiring people from the Life-Seeking Sect.

Yet...

Xu Wendong was far stronger than he had imagined. Even though the Life-Seeking Sect had taken on the task of killing Xu Wendong, so many days had passed without any news.

”You should know that,” Cao Jinbo laughed, ”I am only responsible for wiping out the Sandao Association. As for the Wanlong Association, I don’t even need to lift a finger!”

Wu Qiankun’s face twisted with malice, ”I admit Xu Wendong is very powerful, but what use is individual strength? Can he possibly stand against the Geng Family?”

The Geng Family, the top-ranking affluent family in the provincial capital.

They held absolute authority in both political and business circles.

Of course,

The Geng Family’s connections weren’t limited to the provincial capital; they had close ties even with the secular families in Jingdu.

”Your backer is indeed terrifying, but you have no idea about the terrifying aspects of that man!”

”Enough said, President Wu, you’d better pray for good fortune!” Cao Jinbo said, hanging up the phone.

”Damn it!”

Wu Qiankun, filled with fury, immediately dialed a number. When the call connected, his expression turned tense and fearful: ”Hello, I previously posted a bounty on Xu Wendong, may I ask when this task will be completed?”

He had called the people from the Life-Seeking Sect.

Hoping they could quickly kill Xu Wendong.

If Xu Wendong really showed up, his subordinates wouldn’t stand a chance.

A polite voice came through the phone, ”President Wu, we will return your bounty in full to your account shortly, please check it.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Qiankun panicked: ”No... Why are you returning my bounty? You accepted my task to kill Xu Wendong, why haven’t you done it? Are you that untrustworthy?”

The other party apologized, ”I’m sorry, we cannot complete this task.”

”Why?” Wu Qiankun’s face turned pale.

The other party, evidently annoyed, said, ”For your task, we deployed over eighty masters, including more than twenty First-rate Masters. Yet so many people couldn’t kill Xu Wendong.”

”So far, their fate remains unknown.”

”Do you believe it’s worth offending a super master over the payment you offered?”

”Although we must uphold our contract spirit, we must also reassess the task’s danger.”

”The payment you offered isn’t enough for us to bear such a significant loss.” The call was abruptly ended.

As he listened to the beeping from the phone,

Wu Qiankun’s cell phone fell helplessly to the ground. His face was pale, and intense fear and unease rose within him.

He had thought,

that hiring experts from the Life-Seeking Sect to kill Xu Wendong was almost guaranteed.

But,

he never dreamed that in attempting to kill Xu Wendong, the Life-Seeking Sect had lost over twenty First-rate Masters.

It’s important to note that the Life-Seeking Sect was skilled in assassination and poisoning.

Their strength was on par with the ordinary First-rate Masters in the martial world.

But what was the outcome?

Xu Wendong was still living well.

Moreover, he had a premonition that Xu Wendong had definitely come to the provincial capital, possibly even reached some consensus with Cao Jinbo.

Otherwise, Cao Jinbo wouldn’t have swallowed the Sandao Association.

”Someone, prepare the car!”

Wu Qiankun shouted out, deciding to pay a visit to the Geng Family to inform them of the situation.

After all,

the only one who could protect him now was the Geng Family.

------

The next day.

Xu Wendong finished his cultivation.

He pulled back the curtains to reveal bright sunshine outside.

The originally quiet city became somewhat bustling.

After a whole night of cultivation, although his cultivation level hadn’t improved, his True Qi had become increasingly refined and consolidated!

”If I were to engage with Ye Qingxin now, the energy within her body would surely allow me to break through my limitations and easily enter the Qi Refinement Realm!”

While he thought this way, Xu Wendong didn’t intend to act on it.

After all, First-rate Masters like her were rare in the martial world.

Xu Wendong wouldn’t move against her until it was absolutely necessary.

However, before that, he decided to help her enhance her strength if he could.

If Ye Qingxin could reach the Grandmaster-level or Great Grandmaster, it would bring him even more benefits.

After washing up, Xu Wendong went to the restaurant and ate breakfast alone.

Thinking about helping Su Li achieve her dream without relying on her father, Xu Wendong called Mo Yuan, ”Do you know any wealthy individuals?”

”Oh, I have a promising project here that requires a large investment.”

”But if this project succeeds, it will undoubtedly benefit the nation and the people, and the income will also be considerable.”

Xu Wendong had previously researched.

Although there were wildlife parks around North River, they were small and not scaled.

Therefore, once the Azure Dragon Mountain project started, it would become the largest wildlife park in the northern region, filling in the gap for the North River area.

The most important point was that large wildlife parks in Jiangnan were also scarce, and those that existed were mostly near Guangdong Province.

If the Azure Dragon Mountain wildlife park could be built, it would attract visitors from all directions.

It would be hard not to make money.

”This matter needn’t be forced, and you don’t have to consider my face.”

Mo Yuan respectfully said, ”Sect Leader, I have a nephew in the provincial capital who has a company focusing on tourism; he might be interested in this project!”

”Great, send me the company address, and I’ll have my friend go talk to your nephew.”

”You’d better call your nephew too; this matter needn’t be forced, but it will depend on my friend’s proposal.”

He wanted to help Su Li fulfill her dream.

But he couldn’t do it all himself.

After all, if he did everything, Su Li wouldn’t feel much accomplishment in achieving the dream.

It needed to be through her own effort.

Only then,

could he feel the joy of fulfilling a dream.

Not long after hanging up, Xu Wendong received Mo Yuan’s information. He forwarded it to Su Li, telling her to try her luck.

”Alright, I’ll wait for you at the hotel. Come over later and I’ll go with you.”

After eating,

Xu Wendong went to the hotel entrance to wait for Su Li. But, at that moment, he received a call from an unfamiliar number.

He pressed the answer button, ”Who is it?”

A respectful voice came from the phone, ”Hello, Mister Xu, this is Wu Qiankun.”

”Oh, President Wu! What can I do for you?” Xu Wendong chuckled. He had been thinking about wiping out this guy in the evening, but he hadn’t expected him to call.

Wu Qiankun spoke politely, ”I previously offended you, and I’d like to invite you for tea and apologize to you in person. Would you be available?”

”Alright, send the address to my phone, and I’ll be there shortly.” Xu Wendong readily agreed to Wu Qiankun’s proposal, eager to see whether Wu Qiankun was sincere in apologizing!

He called Su Li, informing her that he couldn’t accompany her. Although slightly disappointed, Su Li didn’t complain.

Xu Wendong then hailed a taxi and headed to the location Wu Qiankun had sent!

It was a golf course.

Perhaps, there would be many masters ambushing there.

Maybe, this journey would be fraught with peril.

But for Xu Wendong, what was there to fear?
