I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 650 - 460 Leak_2

Although this was still extremely terrifying for Luodan, it wasn’t enough to make him believe that Xia Liang was a real Living Immortal from Dragon Country. So, just a moment ago, when Xia Liang was surrounded and held at gunpoint by the Tufeng Group’s men, he didn’t think Xia Liang could survive. But what happened next far exceeded his imagination. Facing an attack from so many people, Xia Liang was completely unharmed. Even under the assault of a rocket launcher, he remained safe and sound; not even his robe was burnt. It was only upon arriving at the scene that Luodan confirmed Xia Liang had long surpassed the realm of ordinary humans. What followed—halting a downpour in its tracks and summoning lightning—only deepened his certainty. It seemed his initial, overly excited and exaggerated words had accidentally stumbled upon the truth. Perhaps Xia Liang truly was a Living Immortal. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

「Meanwhile, on the streets below.」

Xia Liang jumped down from the front of the large truck, a faint smile on his face as he looked at the three people before him. Director Wu and Wu Jiasheng, having recovered from their initial shock, still had the energy to exchange pleasantries with Xia Liang. As for Liao Yijie, he could only stare at Xia Liang with his mouth agape, ultimately unable to utter a single word.

He had always been an atheist, and the events that had just unfolded had shaken him to his very core. He was still deeply immersed in the scenes he had just witnessed.

Seeing this, Xia Liang took the initiative to pat his shoulder, saying with a soft smile, "Bureau Chief Liao Yijie, I’ve heard of your great reputation for a long time."

"The honor is all mine." Liao Yijie’s face flushed slightly, as if he were overwhelmed by the compliment.

Because Xia Liang had broken the ice, the immense pressure that had been weighing on his heart vanished. Xia Liang glanced at the charred corpses scattered in the distance and the thousands of other bodies mangled by the Tufeng Group’s men, feeling a slight headache coming on. Fortunately, he didn’t have to clean up this mess. With the Xiangjiang Bureau Chief present, he was confident that Liao Yijie would handle the aftermath.

With this thought, Xia Liang looked into the distance, planning to rest for a while longer before returning to Qingyun City. After all, he came to Xiangjiang not only for a bit of leisure but also to lend a hand to Director Wu. Director Wu was his favorite movie director, and now, his zombie movie was nearly finished shooting. With his help along the way, there had been no major issues. In the past couple of days, he had roamed all over Xiangjiang, and it seemed there was truly no reason left for him to stay.

Thinking this, Xia Liang looked up as the sound of helicopters began to fill the air. It wasn’t just one; a total of three helicopters appeared before them.

These helicopters carried the men from the Security Bureau, summoned earlier by Liao Yijie’s phone call. Back when Xia Liang was surrounded by nearly a hundred fully-equipped men armed with weapons like rocket launchers, Liao Yijie had grown anxious. He issued the highest alert, ordering the Security Bureau to mobilize all available forces. He even called the special department for assistance.

The special department dealt with major cases, its personnel all highly trained and not typically deployed. But given how critical the situation was, Liao Yijie had requested their support as well. These helicopters were part of the reinforcements they sent, with the main forces still en route further away. Liao Yijie never imagined that Xia Liang would resolve everything on his own, rendering these late-arriving Protectors somewhat redundant.

However, seeing the street ahead blocked with debris, Liao Yijie had the helicopters land directly in the street to transport Xia Liang and the Wu father-son duo away, leaving him behind to deal with the messy aftermath.

As the helicopter carrying Xia Liang ascended, it passed the floor where Luodan and his companion were. Xia Liang smiled and nodded at them.

Showing them the power of a Dragon Country Diviner was enough. There was no need to form a deeper connection.

Watching Xia Liang depart, Luodan and his companion said nothing, simply remaining on their knees to see him off.

Although they desperately wanted to ask for Xia Liang’s phone number, they couldn’t muster the courage. They knew Xia Liang could surely see through their intentions. Since he hadn’t offered it, it was a clear refusal.

Not long after Xia Liang left, the main force of the Protectors arrived on the street. Seeing the ground littered with nearly a hundred bodies burned to charcoal by lightning, and on the other side, corpses shot into pulp by bullets, even the most seasoned among them couldn’t help but gasp. The head of the special department who rushed to the scene was also stunned by the sight and hurriedly asked Liao Yijie what had happened.

Liao Yijie just gave a wry smile and said lightly, "It’s nothing. Just a group of fools who overestimated themselves and provoked a Living Immortal."

Although the events of that night caused a great commotion, no word of it actually leaked out. The ordinary people of Xiangjiang remained completely unaware of what had occurred. When the Tufeng Group appeared with their guns, the residents on both sides of the street had all gone into hiding, not daring to peek out their windows. Even if some bold soul had wanted to spy, the subsequent appearance of so many zombies would have terrified them into inaction. Moreover, the area was already remote with little foot traffic, and that evening, hardly any vehicles passed by. The Protectors who arrived later quickly and thoroughly cleaned up the scene.

So, despite such a major event happening in Xiangjiang, not many people knew about it the next day. There were only some rumors circulating within the Xiangjiang Security Bureau. Those who had been at the scene told others about the hundred bodies struck dead by lightning and the other bizarre, mutilated remains.

「Not long after.」

Some high-status individuals in Xiangjiang secretly paid a visit to Liao Yijie, learning the general outline of what happened from the Bureau Chief.

「At the same time.」

While Xia Liang was in Xiangjiang, word of his deeds back in Haojiang was spreading throughout Southeast Asia. The news flew as if on wings, quickly reaching other countries. After all, Haojiang is an international city, quite different from the cities Xia Liang had stayed in before. Even in Jingdu, news probably didn’t travel as fast. Another reason was the cultural similarity between Southeast Asia and Dragon Country. Many other nations had their own metaphysical traditions, with Sorcerers being one of the most famous.

But now, whether it was the long-famous masters and enlightened figures of other countries or the new rising stars, all of them were completely eclipsed by Xia Liang’s brilliance. As highly esteemed Masters in their own nations, they often kept track of the reputations and rumors surrounding masters from other countries. Inevitably, news about Xia Liang reached the ears of many renowned masters across Southeast Asia.

Summoning lightning in broad daylight, controlling the wind and clouds. Commanding life and death with a word, dictating lifespan with a single phrase.

Even to them, such things sounded almost unbelievable. While there were a few of these feats that they could also perform, they had at most mastered only one. With just a single one of these abilities, they had been able to build a reputation throughout a nation. But what Xia Liang was capable of far surpassed them all.

Among his reported abilities, what shocked them the most was how he could make a torrential downpour freeze in mid-air. He could even make a falling bolt of lightning stop in its tracks. This was something far beyond what they could ever hope to achieve. As a result, many of these masters began to doubt the rumors about Xia Liang’s power.
