Tycoon War God-Chapter 646: Closing the Net!

"By the way, Instructor Lin, we’ve received some news that several international underground forces have already infiltrated River City. It seems they’re here for you," Kong Lin said over the phone.

Lin Mu chuckled. "I’ve already encountered two groups of assassins today."

"Instructor Lin, have you come across the King of Thunder?" Kong Lin asked, sounding shocked.

"The King of Thunder?"

Kong Lin was startled. He hesitated for a moment before responding, "It’s good you haven’t run into him. This person is known as the Dark Web’s ace assassin, with strength comparable to a Grandmaster. His mastery of Thunder Law is said to be world-shaking. Although the rumors may be exaggerated, no one from the Dark Web should be taken lightly!"

"The King of Thunder is an internationally wanted heavyweight assassin. He once killed the president of a small nation. Eyewitnesses claimed that the target was turned to ash by a mere flash of lightning," Kong Lin explained. "Moreover, this King of Thunder has an astonishing background. He seems to be a member of an ancient European family, a World-Walker, much like those from Huaxia."

Lin Mu asked, "A World-Walker?"

Kong Lin hesitated, then said, "Instructor Lin, I don’t know much about these matters myself. All I know is that each of these World-Walkers is connected to Huaxia’s most secretive forces. You must not provoke them."

"Don’t worry. If they don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke them." Lin Mu’s meaning was crystal clear: if they dared to challenge him, he would not hold back.

The Dark Web’s King of Thunder? World-Walkers? Huaxia’s mysterious forces? After hanging up on Kong Lin, Lin Mu smiled faintly. It seems there are still many secrets in this world I’m unaware of.

Then, his thoughts turned to the Demon City Qin Family. I hope you don’t seek your own doom. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to wipe you out!

Lin Mu looked into the night sky, his eyes flickering with cold murderous intent. Once the military competition is over, I’ll bring Luo Li back!

「Early the next morning.」

Guan Feifei arrived at the villa, accompanied by two others.

"Mr. Lin, this is Director Gu from the Security Bureau. He has some matters to discuss with you." As he spoke, Guan Feifei kept shooting glances at Lin Mu, silently warning him.

From the Security Bureau? Lin Mu glanced at the two of them, a man and a woman. The man, who looked to be in his thirties, was dressed in a suit. He appeared clean-cut, but his attitude was incredibly arrogant. The woman wore a well-fitting business suit and exuded an icy aura.

Lin Mu’s gaze lingered on the woman, because the aura she gave off felt even more powerful than a Grandmaster’s. That was a rare thing to encounter. Still, in his eyes, that was all she was.

Seeing Lin Mu’s constant stare, the woman’s pretty face turned cold as she glared back, a flash of lightning-like brilliance flickering in her eyes. Lin Mu, however, calmly averted his gaze, a faint smile on his face.

Although the woman’s expression was icy, she was secretly startled. How can he remain so composed under my gaze? That’s rather unexpected.

"Are you Lin Mu?" the man spoke up, his tone unfriendly. He was clearly displeased that Lin Mu had been staring at the woman.

"Is there something you need?" Lin Mu said impatiently. "If not, then get lost. I’m planning to go shopping."

Since the man was being hostile, Lin Mu naturally couldn’t be bothered to show him any respect.

"Lin Mu, watch your attitude!" Stung by the remark, the man said furiously, "Do you have any idea? With a single word from me, the rest of your life will be over!"

"Oh? A threat?" Lin Mu’s eyes narrowed as an astonishing power, like an exploding star, burst forth from him with terrifying might.

Director Gu’s face turned pale, and he staggered back several steps in fright.

"How dare you!" the woman exclaimed sharply, pulling Director Gu behind her as a powerful aura emerged from her body to confront Lin Mu head-on.

BOOM!

The two forces collided. The woman let out a muffled grunt, staggering back several steps and leaving a series of clear footprints in the ground.

Seeing this, Guan Feifei’s expression changed. Mr. Lin’s temper is really something... Didn’t I just signal him to be careful? And yet he started a fight right away.

"I didn’t expect you to be a master!" The woman steadied herself, her eyes burning as she stared at Lin Mu. A fervent battle intent flashed in her gaze. "Come on. Let’s fight."

Guan Feifei and Director Gu were both stunned.

"Lady..." Just as Director Gu was about to speak, the woman gave him a cold glance. He felt a chill run down his spine and dared not try to dissuade her.

"Are you going to fight or not?" the woman stared at Lin Mu, her cold eyes blazing with intense battle intent.

"Sorry, not interested." Lin Mu turned and walked away.

"You..." Seeing Lin Mu’s reaction, the woman was taken aback, and her aura grew even colder. "Are you afraid?" she taunted.

"Hmm?" Lin Mu stopped and turned to look at the woman. "Afraid? You’re mistaken. I simply prefer not to take advantage of someone in a weakened state."

"What do you mean?" The woman’s expression changed drastically, her eyes revealing a trace of shock.

"Wait until your period is over. If you still want to fight then, I’ll be ready anytime." A smile curled at the corners of Lin Mu’s mouth, and he departed nonchalantly.

His words struck the three of them like a thunderbolt. Guan Feifei cast a peculiar glance at the woman, then clamped his mouth shut. Director Gu didn’t even dare to raise his head.

"Shameless hooligan! I will not let you get away with this!" After a stunned moment, the woman stomped her foot violently on the ground.

CRACK!

The ground split open, revealing countless fissures. Guan Feifei gasped. This woman is terrifying! By then, Lin Mu was long gone.

「In a hotel room.」

"Lady Shangguan, Lin Mu is insufferably arrogant. We should teach him a harsh lesson!" Director Gu said respectfully to the icy woman. "He’s responsible for the deaths of my Security Bureau personnel and he spoke disrespectfully to you. Perhaps we should..."

"Do you want to die?" The woman glanced at Director Gu. "I didn’t come to River City for your Security Bureau’s affairs. What you do is irrelevant to me."

"But, after all, you are..." Director Gu tried to continue, but the woman cut him off with a cold snap. "Get out!"

"Yes..." Though somewhat unwilling, Director Gu quietly exited the room.

"Lin Mu!" Clenching his fists, Director Gu muttered coldly, "Someone from my Security Bureau is dead. You will answer for that!"

Back in the room, after Director Gu had left, the woman’s expression suddenly changed. She pulled something from under her pillow and rushed into the bathroom.

Lin Mu, I, Shangguan Shiming, will not let you go!

At this moment, Lin Mu had no idea he was now being targeted by a vengeful woman.

In the following days, he would appear at the Qin Family Old Residence from time to time or go to the company to handle some business. Not only that, but he would also occasionally take Su Ke’er and Qin Yan out and about in River City. Even when the Martial Alliance called to remind him of the upcoming final battle, Lin Mu feigned ignorance. He had seemingly even forgotten about the existence of the assassin organizations.

Until two nights later, Lin Mu stood on the rooftop of the villa, looking out at the myriad lights of River City, his expression indifferent.

It’s time to close the net. His eyes slowly closed, and the vast power of his Divine Soul began to radiate outward.
