The Supreme Wild Young Master-Chapter 572: Powerful Reinforcements_1

The well-trained soldiers surged ahead, splitting into two groups, surrounding all the combatants and police officers from the Longjing Manor.

Leading the group was a man in his forties, with two bars and three stars on his shoulder pad, signifying the rank of a Colonel.

Scanning his surroundings, he abruptly stood straight and asked softly, "May I ask, which one of you is Mr. Zhang Xian?"

"Uh..."

The armed police became dumbfounded upon hearing this.

The rest of the people were also puzzling. It seemed that these troops were not here to assist the Public Security Bureau.

"I am Zhang Xian."

Zhang Xian stepped forward, asking, "Is it your commanding officer who sent you here?"

"Yes, we are here to assist per the orders of our Commander."

The Colonel saluted Zhang Xian, stepped forward, extended his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, feel free to give any instructions. We will cooperate fully."

"Mr. Zhang... Mr. Zhang..."

Suddenly, from a distance, another round of shouts was heard. Over there, several figures were hurriedly rushing towards them.

The voices sounded even before the individuals arrived.

"Ah, isn’t that the mayor? Why is he here too? What is going on?"

The crowd who had already retreated watched the middle-aged man rushing from the distance, their faces exhibiting various types of astonishment. At this moment, their impression of Zhang Xian rose a few notches up.

Not to mention the army’s arrival, even the Mayor personally came. There are both military and political touches!

"What on earth is happening?" a young man’s legs went weak.

The armed police, even more at a loss, quickly put down their weapons in their hands.

"Who are you?" Zhang Xian looked at the middle-aged man with confusion.

The middle-aged man ran to Zhang Xian and laughed, "I am the Mayor of Lingbei City, here specially to assist Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Xian froze for a moment before quickly understanding.

Earlier, he had found a weapons cache at Longjing Manor filled with many advanced thermal weapons. As a result, he called Old Man Han to send someone over.

When he saw the Soldiers, he wasn’t surprised, given that Old Man Han was a military man. The arrival of the Mayor, however, did perplex him a bit.

But soon, he thought of a possibility. When he made the call earlier, he had hinted to Old Man Han that he intended to take over the Longjing Manor. The Mayor probably came here for this matter.

"Mr. Zhang, what’s the situation here?" asked the Mayor after scanning the scene, seemingly surprised, especially when he saw the bodies of the businessman and the City Bureau Chief, a wave of horror surged in his heart.

The businessman and the City Bureau Chief were well-known personalities in Lingbei. Now, as their bodies lay here with their heads cut off, the consequences would be hard to imagine if the situation was mishandled.

"The businessman and the City Bureau Chief joined hands with a terrorist organization and tried to kill me. They’re already killed on site."

Zhang Xian, noticing the Mayor’s worries, responded with a smile, "I will report this matter to the higher-ups, and there is no need for the government officials of Lingbei to intervene."

"Ah, that’s good." The Mayor was relieved.

The Colonel glanced at the Mayor, walked straight to Zhang Xian, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, do you have further instructions?"

"Follow me."

Zhang Xian did not respond further and led them toeards a certain direction.

Upon reaching a nondescript small house, he brought them inside, found a hidden compartment led to a basement, and shockingly revealed an underground stashes of titanium alloy weapons.

Underneath the small house was a basement filled with advanced weapons in crates. Among them were even heavy weapons like rocket launchers.

"This..."

The Colonel and the Mayor were stunned by the sight.

These things were not available for purchase. Even on the black market, they were hard to get. Longjing Manor’s basement was storing several large boxes of the most advanced, high-powered new types of thermal weapons.

"Look at this." Zhang Xian walked to a table, picking up an envelope.

The envelope was thick, stuffed with a considerable amount of information. Every page bore a marker in the bottom right corner with ’Divine Word’ written underneath.

"Are these thermal weapons all from the Divine Word?" The Colonel asked in surprise.

The Mayor picked up the materials and saw that they were descriptions of these firearms, and also broke into a cold sweat. These things were more advanced than the thermal weapons currently in use. Which meant, that these things were probably manufactured by the Divine Word, proving that the organization had a sizeable armory with lead technology.

"Now, is there enough evidence that those two up there were colluding with Divine Word?" Zhang Xian asked with a smile.

On his way here, he had been using his psychic sense to scan the surroundings. When he passed by here, he had accidentally found this basement. This was why he had called Old Man Han.

"Enough." The Mayor and the Colonel nodded in agreement.

Zhang Xian smiled, "Enough, let someone move the stuff out, and someone will come to handle the rest."

Upon hearing Zhang Xian, the Colonel promptly gave the command for his soldiers to begin moving the stuff.

"Mayor, can we talk a bit over there?" Zhang Xian turned his head to the Mayor and asked with a smile.

The Mayor nodded, following Zhang Xian to a side.

"That’s exactly my plan," Zhang Xian chuckled, "Now that the tycoon has passed away and his son is somewhat implicated in this mess, they’re probably not capable of running Longjing Manor anymore. Therefore, I was wondering if you might consider selling the property to me? I happen to be in this line of business and I see great potential in this manor."

"So you’re planning on turning Longjing Manor into Lingxiao Manor, are you?" the mayor asked, laughing.

Zhang Xian grinned and nodded, "Exactly."

"Ha, that’s great, no problem at all," the mayor happily agreed, "I’ve heard great things about your Lingxiao Manor, it has brought many benefits to TianDu City!"

Zhang Xian merely nodded in response.

Because of its unique status, being the only one of its kind in Huaxia, Lingxiao Manor had indeed brought considerable benefits to TianDu City. It had even attracted some investors to the city.

"Excellent."

Zhang Xian laughed, and then pointed at Mo Shaoyun, "In a while, he’ll discuss the specifics of the purchase with my wife." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"Hmm, alright,"

The mayor beat his chest and readily agreed.

...

The numerous crates of weapons in the basement were soon carted away.

Once everyone left the basement, the troops began cleaning up the scene. Meanwhile, Mo Shaoyun and several women, including Xiao Nan, began discussing the purchase of Longjing Manor with the mayor.

After a quick glance around, Zhang Xian spotted Cold Face in the distance and walked over with Jing Yi and Luo Shuining.

Originally, he had only intended to kidnap Li Li to solve his issues. The deaths of the tycoon and the police chief were just a happy accident. Now that his task was complete, it was important to not forget about the issue regarding the old Taoist woman.

Cold Face and his people had captured Li Li, using her as leverage against Jing Yi and Luo Shuining. Once he connected the dots, it was clear Cold Face was somehow involved in the old Taoist woman’s disappearance.

"What are you doing?" struggled Cold Face, trying to move his body.

"Stop struggling, it’s futile. To me now, you’re no different from an ant. I could crush you with ease."

Zhang Xian crouched next to Cold Face, sneered and said, "You had Li Li caught before, is it because she’s related to Jing Yi and Luo Shuining’s teacher? Where is the old Taoist woman now? If she’s unharmed, I might consider sparing you. As you stand now, you pose no threat to me."

"Fine, you’re right. I was the one who captured the old Taoist," Cold Face admitted with a sense of defeat.

Just as Zhang Xian said, Cold Face was now helpless, utterly incapable.

Seeing his cooperation, Zhang Xian nodded approvingly then asked further, "I am quite curious, why did you capture the old Taoist? Why did you try to lure Jing Yi and Luo Shuining here?"

"It was because of a secret martial arts manual,"

Cold Face sighed, "Years ago, a dear friend of mine obtained a powerful martial arts manual and his cultivation speed improved drastically. This aroused my greed. Unfortunately, my plot to kill him did not yield me the desired results. I later learned about the connection between my friend and the old Taoist and shifted my attention to her."

"At the time, the old Taoist remained within her sect and I couldn’t get to her because I lacked the strength. I was waiting for the right opportunity. When I learned she had left the sect, I embarked on this plan. Ironically, despite all my efforts and anticipation, I ended up with nothing and was reduced to my current state."

"You... you’re shameless," Jing Yi condemned.

Luo Shuining also displayed a face of contempt. This man was a disgusting beast in human form. For the sake of a martial arts manual, he had even committed fratricide.

Cold Face let out a bitter laugh, offering no explanation.

"What a plotter,"

Zhang Xian chuckled, stood up and responded, "Alright, your cooperation puts me in a good mood, so I’ll leave you be."

"Thank you," Cold Face bleakly murmured.

Once upon a time, he was the top individual cultivator, and few dared to defy him. His decline to this state evoked an indescribable sense of loss and bitterness.

"Zhang Xian, we...we’re going to rescue our master now," Jing Yi said after scanning the surroundings quickly, "Your business here doesn’t seem to be settled yet, and our master is still locked up by that scum. We don’t know what state she’s in."

"Alright, you go ahead!"

Zhang Xian nodded, "If there’s anything you need in the future, don’t hesitate to call me, I won’t shirk from giving help."

"Thank you," Jing Yi responded, her gaze complicated as she looked at Zhang Xian. Sighing inwardly, her worry-filled brows furrowed as she exited.

Luo Shuining also took one longing look at Zhang Xian before she reluctantly departed.

"Why? Can’t bear to leave them?"

Out of nowhere, Fu Meiting came up beside Zhang Xian, teasing cheerfully, "How about we keep them here?"

"Aren’t you mad?" Zhang Xian asked.

With a pout, Fu Meiting pinched Zhang Xian’s waist before rebuking, "I was just joking, did you take me seriously? Do you actually want that?"

"No, absolutely not!" Zhang Xian’s head shook wildly in denial.

Fu Meiting huffed, "Good, you better not!"

"Of course."

After wiping his nose, Zhang Xian inquired, "Well, Elder Sister Meiting, if you’re not discussing the Longjing Manor purchase with the mayor, why are you here?"

"Isn’t Mo Shaoyun there already? She alone will suffice," Fu Meiting chuckled, "In comparison, this place needs me to supervise. Without someone to keep an eye on you, who knows when you’ll start to sneak around with other beautiful women again."
