From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 490 You lowly people want to dredge up old grievances? Do you even deserve it?
midnight
Li Chengqian stared at the computer screen, browsing the "Extreme Home" website. The dazzling array of products in the store didn't attract him. He was just thinking about what to buy. Since joining the Extreme Martial Arts Academy meant he could get up to 5 million free martial arts manuals, he didn't think too much and chose the Guiding Technique. Now, all he needed to do was buy manuals on movement techniques and attacks. He didn't plan to buy many. After looking around for a while, nothing caught his eye, so he directly placed an order for the first four levels of the "Ninefold Thunder Blade" manual.

After all, he was already beyond the level of a martial arts master, and buying this manual was just for reference, to help him correct his own martial arts system and adapt it to this world.

"The brick flies with tremendous force!!"

After placing the order, he shut down his computer. He only glanced at the guiding techniques provided by the Extreme Martial Arts Academy once before tossing them aside. How could this compare to the Taiyin Refining Technique?
"Ding, Kryptonian bloodline analysis complete. Adaptability to this universe is 3.7%. Based on calculations, the principle of its absorption of yellow star radiation has been decomposed and is now synchronized with this universe. The Taiyin Refining Technique has completed its autonomous correction..."

The next moment, chapters related to the Taiyin Body Refining Technique flowed through his mind. He noticed some minor changes, mainly concerning the infinite strengthening and tempering of the physical body. In other words, the Taiyin Body Refining Technique had absorbed the formation characteristics of the Kryptonian steel body...

"No, the resources on Earth are too low-end and not conducive to my growth. I should retrieve the Meteorite Starship as soon as possible. On Earth, only that thing can barely be considered good enough for me."

The Meteorite Starship was Luo Feng's greatest opportunity on Earth in the original story, and also the key to his entry into the universe. However, it is also the key to his entry into the universe now, so he naturally will not give it to Luo Feng.

Jiangnan Base City, West District, Li Family Manor, Side Hall.

The atmosphere was so heavy that water seemed to drip out.

The décor of the side hall blends Chinese grandeur with modern luxury. Expensive mahogany furniture, cold metal decorations, and a huge oil painting of a monster from the wilderness hanging on the wall all demonstrate the Li family's heritage and power as a war god family.

However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was tense and oppressive.

Vinina Bolenas's face was as cold as ice. Her meticulously manicured nails almost dug into the expensive alloy armrests, and her azure eyes gleamed with undisguised murderous intent as she stared intently at the man sitting opposite her.

The blonde beauty, known as the "Scorpion," who is in charge of the HR Alliance's China region, is now very angry.

Sitting next to her was Lee Dong-gun, the current chairman of the Kinmen Group.

This was a middle-aged man with a sinister face and sharp, hawk-like eyes. His face was ashen, and his chest heaved slightly, clearly struggling to suppress his surging rage. Behind him stood a tall, burly man and a woman in her thirties with fairly pretty features.

It was Kwon Jae-seok and Choi Min-ji, two directors of the Kinmen Group.

Across from them, Li Tianhao sat on a large sofa, his posture even bordering on relaxed. He wore a sharp business jacket, which seemed somewhat out of place in the martial arts-dominated environment around him. He leisurely used the lid of his cup to skim off the tea foam, took a small sip, and ignored the hostility that was almost solidifying in front of him.

Li Hui sat in the main seat, his face showing a hint of solemnity.

Originally, he didn't want to get involved, but he had no choice. After Vinina contacted him last night, the HR Alliance headquarters also contacted him, hoping he could investigate what happened back then. The interests of both parties were too intertwined, so he had no choice but to call Li Tianhao over and have him explain himself in front of the parties involved. However, he didn't expect that Li Tianhao, whom he hadn't seen for several years, would be so arrogant and fearless. Even when he saw the aggrieved party, Li Dongjian, he only glanced at him lightly, completely unconcerned.

“Li Tianhao!” Vinina finally couldn’t hold back any longer. Her icy voice broke the suffocating silence, each word seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth. “The Spirit of the Purple Gold Star Grass is the property of the HR Alliance. How dare you?”

Li Tianhao put down his teacup, making a crisp clinking sound.

He raised his eyes, his gaze calmly sweeping over Vinina, then suddenly laughed, "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? I don't understand!"

"You don't understand? Do you want me to remind you? Thirty years ago, the Four Star Society robbery!"

"The Four Star Society robbery?" Li Tianhao looked astonished. "Is that true? I heard they didn't even file a case. I thought it was just an urban legend. Wasn't the Four Star Society gone? What, what does this have to do with me?"

"Bang!" Before Vinina could even speak, Li Dongjian slammed his fist on the table, saying, "Li Tianhao, if you don't want people to know, don't do it in the first place. Do you think we would come after you without evidence? For the past thirty years, we've been investigating, and we've been..."

"Hey, hey, hey..." Li Tianhao raised his hand to interrupt him, "Who are you? What's it to you?"

“Lee Dong-gun, chairman of Kinmen Group!” Lee Dong-gun’s expression froze. “Lee Jung-yong, the former president of Four Star Society, is my father.”

"Oh, so he's a second-generation black kid!"

Li Tianhao sneered and looked at Li Hui. "Brother, this is against the rules. No matter what, you are the God of War. As for me, although I am not a martial artist, I am an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You have a second-generation gangster sitting here in a blatant manner, making it look like a joint trial. Isn't that going too far?"

“Li Tianhao, don’t change the subject. The things from the HR Alliance aren’t so easy to get.” Vinina’s expression changed.

“Sister-in-law, no, Ms. Vinina, it seems you are speaking to me today in the name of the HR Alliance. So, please watch your words and your position.” Li Tianhao’s voice was not loud, but it carried an official tone. “First of all, this is China, not some lawless and chaotic place abroad. Here, we follow rules and the law.”

He leaned forward slightly, his gaze sharpening: "Secondly, the HR Alliance, in the end, is just a multinational corporation, not the Chinese government, and certainly doesn't represent the official will. And I, Li Tianhao, am the Director of the Finance Department of the Jiangnan Base City Government, a member of the system. By what identity, what qualifications, do you question me? And on what pretext, what evidence, do you pursue so-called 'lost property' from thirty years ago? Based on your HR Alliance's commercial investigation rights? Or on the Jinmen Group… that shady past?"

"You!" Li Dongjian slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly. The two men behind him also tensed their muscles, and the aura of warrior generals was faintly emanating from them. "Your son, Li Chengqian, in just one month, went from an ordinary person who wasn't even a quasi-martial artist to a junior warrior general. What else could have done that besides the spirit of the Purple Gold Star Grass?"

Li Tianhao didn't even lift his eyelids, only scoffing, his tone almost tangible with sarcasm: "Li Dongjian... Chairman! Jinmen Group, Korean remnants, ha, tracing back to the source, they're nothing more than a group of homeless dogs who have lost their country. We Chinese are compassionate, and out of consideration for our fellow human beings, we've given you a bite to eat, allowing you to establish yourself in the base city, which is already an immense favor."

His voice suddenly turned cold: "Since you're like stray dogs, you should be obediently squatting down to eat and begging for mercy, instead of baring your teeth and coveting things that don't belong to you! Resources? The Spirit of Purple Gold Star Grass? Those high-end things are not something you lowly people can even dream of. Do I need to remind you how the Four Star Society was wiped out back then? A bunch of rootless duckweed, you should be grateful for your lucky survival, yet you still dare to bring up old grievances? And you even come to question me, a government official, do you even deserve it?"

"Li Tianhao! You're asking for death!" Li Dongjian's eyes were bloodshot. Quan Zaishi could no longer bear to listen. He roared, his violent aura uncontrollable. The air in the entire side hall seemed to thicken. His killing intent locked onto Li Tianhao, as if he wanted to tear Li Tianhao to pieces immediately.

Faced with this violent aura, Li Tianhao remained unperturbed. He stood up, casually uttered a sentence, and then nodded slightly to Li Hui, "Brother Hui, it seems we won't be able to have tea today. I'll take my leave now; I have a meeting in the hall."

"You..." Quan Zaishi stepped forward, about to make a move, but was stopped by Li Dongjian, who glared at Li Tianhao with a sinister look: "Li Tianhao, things change. Jinmen Group, remember this day!"

Faced with the two men's blatant threats, Li Tianhao straightened his collar, his expression remaining calm, even with a hint of contempt. He walked out of the side hall with steady steps and turned to leave.

In the side hall, Vinina suddenly waved her hand, and an invisible force shattered an expensive vase beside her!
“Li! Tian! Hao!” she said, enunciating each word clearly, her voice filled with boundless anger.

The faces of Lee Dong-gun and the other two were so gloomy they could drip water, their fists clenched so tightly their knuckles turned white.

Li Hui remained expressionless, silently watching Li Tianhao's departing figure, gently raising his chin as if deep in thought.

After Li Tianhao walked out of the Li family's gate and got into his car, the contemptuous expression on his face slightly faded, and a barely perceptible sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

I picked up my smartwatch, dialed a number, and the call connected shortly after.

"The last bastard is about to jump over the wall; it's definitely the Kinmen Group." After saying this, he hung up the phone and told the driver, "Back to the lobby."

The vehicle drove smoothly away from the Li Family Manor.
