The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

When they reached the main gate, two doormen were already waiting there. When they saw Fang Yun, they greeted him with broad smiles. Several servants were also sent to assist them.

· ·········Request flowers· ···

The eight servants stood in two rows, each with their backs straight and eyes looking straight ahead, exuding a fierce and valiant air.

Just as Fang Yun was about to go inside, a series of hurried car wheels sounded. The men were startled and then rushed to the door.

On the street not far away, an old man and a young man dressed in cloth were seen pushing a wheelbarrow full of vegetables toward them. Because they were coming too fast, they couldn't stop and were about to crash into the gate. Several men shouted angrily and rushed forward to brace the wheelbarrow with their hands, which finally stopped the old man.

......... ...... .......

"Didn't you hear me tell you to slow down? If you offend our honored guest, you'll be in big trouble!" several men cursed.

The old man was also aggrieved, saying that it was already quite late when they were told to go out to buy vegetables, and they were afraid of being late, which is why they panicked a bit.

Just as Fang Yun was about to step forward to speak, he saw someone riding a horse coming towards them.

The horse in the lead was very strong, its whole body was charcoal black, and its muscles bulged out, clearly a fine steed.

Seated on the horse was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a vest. His large, fan-like hands gripped the horse's head tightly, as if molten iron had been poured into them. Behind him followed several brown horses, their riders also dressed in vests.

"Yang Li of the Iron Fist Sect comes to congratulate the Wang family on their joyous occasion!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun realized that these were guests invited by Wang Tianlin, indicating that tonight's banquet was quite large. It seemed that most of the prominent figures in the area would be present.

Chapter 688 Wang Hai's Thoughts

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Wang Tianlin is such a good person at seizing opportunities; he certainly wouldn't let go of such a good pretext as hosting a banquet for Di Xuan. He didn't think much of it at the moment and went into the mansion first.

When Wang Hai walked in again, he was filled with mixed feelings. The original plan was to remove Wang Tianlin from office, but the Wang family was unstable. If Wang Tianlin stepped down, the Wang family would inevitably fall into chaos, giving those enemies an opportunity to take advantage.

Therefore, after thinking it over, Wang Hai also gave up the idea of ​​immediately dealing with Wang Tianlin.

"Alright, don't worry. If Wang Tianlin doesn't change his ways, I'll teach him a lesson later."

Fang Yun patted Wang Hai on the shoulder; he knew how Wang Hai was feeling.

Wang Hai's father's condition is also unknown, which makes him worried and depressed. However, at this time, the top priority is to find the magical artifact as quickly and steadily as possible.

The Iron Fist Clan was clearly a well-known gang in the area. When they arrived at the mansion, many people who knew them greeted them.

In contrast, Fang Yun was a newcomer and most people didn't know him.

At this moment, several merchants walking on the side shouted in unison, "Master Yang, it's not easy for Patriarch Wang to host today, we must have a good drink tonight!"

Yang Li laughed loudly: "Of course!"

Another merchant laughed and said, "Master Yang, this isn't your Iron Fist Sect today. If you get drunk, no one will be able to carry you away."

At this moment, a boxer behind Yang Li grinned and said, "You people, if you keep quiet, your mouths will get sore. Everyone knows how much our sect leader can drink. I'm afraid you'll get drunk before our sect leader does."

Amidst laughter and jokes, the group walked together toward the banquet hall inside.

Today, we heard that Wang Tianlin was going to invite a mysterious expert, which piqued everyone's curiosity, so the discussion about this mysterious expert was endless along the way.

Of course, there were also some busybodies among them. One of them looked at Yang Li and said, "Sect Leader Yang, it's been a long time since I've seen you. I wonder how your martial arts are doing now? I heard that you abstain from wine and women. I wonder if it's been effective."

Yang Li snorted upon hearing this, and without replying, walked directly to a large rock to the side.

Then, he suddenly gathered his breath, stretched out his palms, and with a loud bang, the boulder in front of him shattered. Even at the point of his impact, the stone was reduced to dust.

Seeing this, the onlookers stepped forward and exclaimed in surprise, "Sect Leader Yang, if that expert were to arrive today, we would really need you to go up and test him!"

Yang Li naturally knew what these people were thinking.

The Wang family has a new director, and Wang Tianlin has always acted very aggressively. This time, he said he invited a mysterious expert, probably to give them a warning.

If this powerful figure could be taught a lesson at this banquet, it would be a blow to Wang Tianlin's pride. If Wang Tianlin wanted to be arrogant again in the future, he would have to think twice.

"Don't worry, I, Yang Li, originally ran a martial arts school. If I encounter a master, it's only natural for me to challenge them," Yang Li said, cupping his hands in greeting.

"Hehe, Sect Leader Yang is so straightforward! Our department is all looking forward to seeing Sect Leader Yang's heroic figure!"

After achieving their goals, these customers all left satisfied.

Fang Yun, leading Wang Hai, also headed towards the banquet hall.

The Wang family's property covers a very large area; if you weren't told, you'd think you'd come to a small park.

It seems to take at least half an hour to walk from the front gate to the back gate. Of course, this is also thanks to the long history of the Wang family's development; it has been renovated several times over the past few hundred years, so naturally, the family's territory is quite large.

After walking slowly along the road for a while, I saw that a maid had set up a small stall by the roadside not far away, with tea and some fruit plates on it.

Seeing this, Fang Yun smiled and said, "Wang Hai, it seems that it's a waste for you to give up being a rich young master and become an assassin. This kind of life is something that others can only dream of."

Wang Hai knew Fang Yun was joking, and said, "Let's go. Our family's tea business is doing quite well. Let me invite you to have a couple of drinks first, Young Master Fang."

Then, leading the way, he slowly walked towards the small tea stall with Fang Yun.

Upon seeing someone approaching, the servants who were helping out brought over two stools, wiped the dust off the 1.3 with a rag, and invited Fang Yun and his companion to sit down.

"Guess what Wang Tianlin is planning today?"

Seeing that there were quite a few experts from various sects among the people coming and going, Fang Yun asked.

Wang Hai curled his lip and said, "My second uncle isn't a very good person; he's full of bad ideas. This time, he's putting on such a grand show for you on the surface, but actually, he just wants you to endorse him."

"Moreover, this reason is so plausible that you can't criticize him. He's certainly playing a clever game."

Fang Yun took a sip of tea and smiled faintly: "I'm just afraid he's misjudged the person he's targeting..."

Chapter 689 The closer to home, the more timid one becomes.

In this vast palace, Fang Yun wasn't in a hurry to attend the banquet anyway. Most of the guests had only been notified at the last minute, so they had come anyway; the banquet was still some time away.

Wang Hai, as a member of this royal family, is now unable to reunite with his family, which is quite saddening.

More importantly, if the current plan is implemented as is, and if Wang Tianlin temporarily repents or restrains himself, then Fang Yun probably won't touch him again for a while.

Undeniably, Wang Tianlin possesses considerable skill and might even lead the Wang family to greater heights in the future. However, he is the murderer who harmed his own father. This grudge must be avenged.

"No matter what, Young Master Fang, I, Wang Hai, am very grateful that you accompanied me here. If you hadn't come with me, I probably would have gone straight to see Wang Tianlin when I arrived, but given Wang Tianlin's personality, I probably wouldn't have had a good ending."

Wang Hai's words are not wrong. After all, his strategy and courage are still far inferior to Wang Tianlin's. If he really came to the Wang family directly as before, he would inevitably be targeted by Wang Tianlin's schemes and plots.

After all, his father was no longer in charge, so Wang Hai should keep his head down and walk with his head down.

"There's no need to say so much. You should know that the reason I'm helping you so much is so that it will be easier for me to find that site myself. As a member of that organization, you'll naturally be able to gather information and understand the situation much faster than I am."

Although Fang Yun said that, Wang Hai still expressed his gratitude because he knew that Fang Yun was not the kind of person who only knew how to take advantage of others.

If it were truly a life-or-death situation, or if it required weighing the lives and interests of others, Wang Hai believed that Fang Yun would not abandon human relationships for the sake of a little personal gain.

This is the biggest difference between Fang Yun and people like Wang Tianlin, and it is also Fang Yun's personal charm that is one of the reasons why Wang Hai now follows Fang Yun wholeheartedly.

"By the way, Young Master Fang, we've been here for so long, fighting against that old scoundrel Wang Tianlin, and we haven't forgotten to visit my dear sister. I've missed her terribly since I last saw her."

At this point, a hint of shame appeared on Wang Hai's face. As the older brother, he had never shown any care or concern for his younger sister.

When his father still had influence in the Wang family, his sister's life shouldn't have been too bad. But now that his father has been forced to disappear, his sister probably won't have a good life either.

As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, and this is the time for him to stand up. If he can't protect his sister now, then Wang Hai will not be able to forgive himself.

"In that case, why don't we go check on your sister first? There's no rush."

Fang Yun naturally understood what Wang Hai meant, but she was too embarrassed to tell him directly, so Fang Yun took the initiative to ask to go see her sister together.

Fortunately, Wang Hai was very familiar with the map of the Prince's mansion. Before long, the two passed through several alleys and finally arrived at a small house in the southwest.

This is Wang Xiaoya's place. Wang Hai's place used to be not far from here. When they were children, they often gathered on this patch of grass to play.

As they approached the courtyard, Wang Hai's expression became somewhat unnatural.

Fang Yun could understand this feeling. It was probably because they hadn't seen each other for so long, so their feelings were complicated and fearful.

Moreover, many members of the Wang family did not know what Wang Hai was doing. Only a few clan leaders and elders knew that Wang Hai had gone to the assassin organization.

If her younger sister found out that she had been helping the assassin organization kill for others, Wang Xiaoya's expression would definitely not be pleasant. This was also Wang Hai's biggest worry right now.

"Alright, you don't need to tell her about this yet. Besides, life is unpredictable, and sometimes you're not in control of your own destiny. I believe your sister can understand your situation, so just be nicer to her in the future."

Fang Yun patted Wang Hai on the shoulder.

The two then headed towards the mansion. By this time, night had gradually fallen, and a faint candle was lit in the mansion.

In the past, there would probably have been a few maids who weren't Wang Xiaoya, but after Wang Tianshan passed away, these privileges have gradually been discontinued.

On the surface, it was said to be about saving family finances, but in reality, it was just a few subordinates trying to curry favor with Wang Tianlin and deliberately putting on a show to demonstrate their stance.

Such power struggles within large families are commonplace and nothing new.

Chapter 690 Wang Xiaoya

"Alright, alright, stop hesitating. If you keep going on and on like this, who knows when you'll ever get to see your sister?"

Fang Yun smiled and gave Wang Hai a push, and the two walked towards the house together.

However, Wang Hai was still conflicted, not knowing why he suddenly felt afraid to see his sister's face at this moment.

"No, I need to prepare myself a little. It's been so many years since I last saw him, I don't know how much he's changed, and I don't know if he can accept me as I am now."

As Wang Hai spoke, he walked towards the window. He wanted to see if he could look at his sister through the window first.

That way, I'll have a better understanding of the situation and avoid being caught off guard.

Fang Yun couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he had no choice but to let him climb to the side of the window. Just then, he suddenly noticed a dark shadow flash by on the other side of the house.

"Who is that?"
