NOVPUBAt nightfall, Feiyan had someone bring Lin Tian and Wang Yuan back, and also had them served desserts and meals as a late night snack to fill their bellies.
Afterward, Feiyan excused herself and left.
This night was destined to be sleepless; Wang Yuan made a whole twenty billion yuan in one breath, earning money faster than he ever had in his life!
"Big brother, you're really awesome."
"Big brother, at tomorrow's King of Fighting Beasts showdown, there's bound to be a lot of money thrown around, and we'll make another fortune then."
"Big brother, who do you think will win tomorrow, the Fire Dragon Elephant or the Diamond Bear?"
"It would be best if the Fire Dragon Elephant and the Diamond Bear died together; that way, my Tiger Mastiff Beast could contend for the title of King of Fighting Beasts."
...…
Wang Yuan, like a woman, kept nagging in Lin Tian's ear, annoying him to no end.
"Sleep."
Lin Tian said coldly, then quickly walked into the bedroom, and with a bang, slammed the door shut.
Wang Yuan felt like he had been doused with cold water, his face ashened, but he still spoke to the door, in a rather spiritless manner.
"Brother Tian, good night."
...…
Inside an apartment, sitting on a chair was Li Linglong, with Feiyan standing beside her.
Right now, Feiyan was reporting to Li Linglong all that she had seen and heard about Lin Tian that day.
"What?"
Li Linglong exclaimed in surprise.
"You mean, he bet on fifteen matches and got them all right; moreover, before the beast fights even began, he could tell who would win or lose, and he never once got it wrong?"
"Mm-hmm," Feiyan nodded emphatically.
Lin Tian's origins were a mystery, but his astounding clairvoyance and the compelling power of his divine tune had severely shaken Li Linglong. Li Linglong had tasked Feiyan with taking care of Lin Tian and his companions, not just for their care but also to use Feiyan's observations to gauge Lin Tian's true abilities.
A glint of shock flashed in Li Linglong's eyes.
Although she operated the Beast Fighting Arena, she couldn't see strengths and weaknesses with such clarity before a fight had started, let alone always predict correctly; she did not possess such ability.
At that moment, a man hurriedly came in, carrying a photo and a stack of documents in his hands.
"Sister Ling, I've found out—the person's name is Lin Tian, from Wu'an City. He's the founder of Tianyi Pharma, and the Capital City's Li Family was also destroyed by him."
"Lin Tian, he's actually Lin Tian."
Feiyan cried out in shock, her face one of disbelief.
Li Linglong took the documents, which contained some information on Lin Tian.
"Alright, you may leave," she said after a brief glance, allowing the man to depart.
By her side, Feiyan asked, "Lin Tian is quite the influential figure. Under his rule, Wu'an City is secure as a fortress, and even the Capital City's Li Family fell by his hand; his visit this time isn't for some sort of scheme against us, is it?"
After a moment's thought, Li Linglong spoke indifferently, "No, if he had any malicious intent, he wouldn't have helped us today. From what we can see now, he's probably just here for the beast fights, and poses a neutral stance toward us."
"What should we do then, should we try to befriend him?" Feiyan asked.
She was quite fond of Lin Tian; after all, he had given her a divine tune lost for a thousand years.
Li Linglong's eyes revealed a trace of melancholy and unease.
"If we can pull him over, we should make every effort to do so. This time, Huang Batian comes with ill intent. I have already witnessed the strength of the Fire Dragon that guards the King of Fighting Beasts, and even it doesn't have full confidence in contending with it."
A look of shock crossed Little Feiyan's face. It was the first time she had seen Li Linglong this uneasy.
"The field of Beast Fighting has always been under my control. I have my people all over Huaxia. Whenever a strong Beast capable of contending with the Fire Dragon appears, I always take them under my wing. Huang Batian's acquisition of the Fire Dragon was no fluke. There must be some major power backing him. I always have this bad feeling. But fortunately, today Lin Tian and Huang Batian have already become enemies. Given Huang Batian's modus operandi, he will definitely not let Lin Tian off the hook. When two tigers fight, at least one gets hurt. I hope Lin Tian's arrival can help me get through this crisis!"
No sooner had Li Linglong finished speaking than a man came running over in a hurry.
"Sister Ling, I just saw Xu Si leading more than twenty experts of mirror condensing cultivation level, storming off furiously toward that man's place of residence."
The "man" he referred to was Lin Tian.
"Isn't Xu Si one of Huang Batian's men? Sister Ling, it seems what people said was right," Little Feiyan exclaimed in surprise.
"Come, let's take some experts over to take a look. This is a good opportunity to pull him to our side."
…, ….
At this moment, Lin Tian was lying on his bed, happily video chatting with his wife and son.
However, suddenly, he sensed a killing intent along with a commotion of footsteps.
"Someone's here!"
Lin Tian exclaimed in alarm, quickly ended the video call, and rushed out.
Wang Yuan was sitting in the living room watching television when he saw Lin Tian rushing in flustered and asked casually.
"Big brother, what's the matter? Can't hold in the urge to pee? The bathroom's right there!"
Urgent pee, my ass!
Lin Tian hurried over, covered his mouth, and then two screams could be heard from outside.
An arrogant voice followed shortly after.
"Listen up, you people inside, come out at once, or I'll set fire to this place and turn you all into roasted pigs."
The voice was very cold and arrogant, like a strong man passing judgment on the weak.
Lin Tian stimulated Subdue the Heavens, activated his clairvoyant ability, and through the window, saw that more than twenty people had arrived outside, all of them mirror condensing cultivation experts. But this bunch wasn't strong and posed no threat to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian said to Wang Yuan, "You stay here; I'll go out and meet them."
Lin Tian opened the door right when Wang Yuan's bodyguards, alerted by the noise, rushed over in a hurry.
The experts Wang Yuan had brought were also over twenty and of mirror condensing cultivation level, but they were utterly outmatched compared to this group.
The further one advanced in cultivation, even among experts of the same level, the difference in strength could be vast. Lin Tian himself could take on dozens.
Leading the group was a middle-aged man wearing a hat, none other than Xu Si, an expert of the mirror condensing level.
Two people were lying at his feet, both of whom were Wang Yuan's men, responsible for guarding the gate. The two screams from earlier had come from them.
"Who are you, and did you injure them?" Lin Tian pointed at Xu Si and asked.
Xu Si replied, "Who I am is none of your business, and yes, I injured them. What are you going to do about it?"
Arrogant, overbearing, and conceited, he regarded everyone as beneath him!
He treated Lin Tian as if he were just a tiny ant!
After listening, Lin Tian clenched his fists tight, his teeth gritting, What am I going to do about it?
Damn it, I'll beat you so badly even your mother won't recognize you.
