Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world

Looking at Li Shiheng's face, furrowed in worry, Luo Yuntian curled his lips into a smile and said in a relaxed tone, "President Li, are you worried about how to defend against the Dragon King's Palace's assassination attempts in the future?"

Hearing Luo Yuntian's words reveal his true feelings, Li Shiheng didn't hide anything and nodded with a wry smile: "That's right. You can't stay here with me 24 hours a day, and I can't stay in this manor villa like a coward forever. I have to go out and do things."

His words were full of helplessness. According to the rules of the underworld, once the details of the employer who placed the order to assassinate him are found out, as long as the employer is taken care of, the assassination organization will lose its payer, and the mission will naturally fall through.

After all, the employer is dead, no one is paying the bill, so why would anyone bother continuing the assassination? It's a thankless task.

But this time was an exception. That kid Li Tingchuan was really ruthless; he actually settled the commission in full right away.

This is completely different. If the money is paid in full, the assassination organization will carry out the mission to the end even if the employer dies. Taking money to do things is the bottom line, and it is also the credibility that the organization relies on for its survival. There can be no ambiguity.

So once tonight's matter is over, he will definitely settle accounts with Li Tingchuan. But even if he completely eliminates that kid, the assassinations by the Dragon King Palace will not stop, which is what gives him the biggest headache.

Luo Yuntian stroked his chin, nodded knowingly, and then offered a solution with a smile: "Well, this is indeed a tricky matter, but coincidentally, I have the contact information for a mercenary organization. As long as you're willing to spend the money, you can hire them as bodyguards, and they'll take care of your safety perfectly, so you won't have to worry about it at all."

"Oh? What mercenary group is it that makes you boast so much?" Li Shiheng immediately perked up, his tone full of surprise.

Look at the attack lineup of the Dragon King Palace tonight, a full three martial artists at the Innate Realm. What kind of mercenary organization would be so confident in protecting him?

It should be noted that he has connections in the ancient martial arts world and knows better than anyone how rare innate realm experts are, let alone how to persuade them to join.

That's why he was so worried about the scale of tonight's attack. If it were just second- or first-rate martial artists, he could easily find some people to protect him, and there would be no need for him to be so concerned.

Luo Yuntian kept everyone in suspense, raising an eyebrow as he asked, "I wonder if President Li has heard of the Heavenly God Temple?"

"The Temple of the Gods?!" Li Shiheng's voice suddenly rose, his face filled with shock. He then frowned and asked doubtfully, "I naturally know this mercenary group; it is indeed a maverick group. But do they really have enough Innate Realm experts?"

Three people at the Innate Realm have arrived tonight. If the Dragon King Palace sends more people later, and Xiao Chen is still leading the team, will the number of Innate Realm experts become four, five, or even more?

Therefore, his bottom line was that he needed to hire at least four experts at the Innate Realm to feel at ease.

Luo Yuntian chuckled and nodded firmly: "Of course, but the price won't be cheap. Be prepared to bleed a lot."

Li Shiheng breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand calmly: "Money is not a problem. As long as my safety can be guaranteed, any amount of money is negotiable."

He knew quite a few innate masters in China, but they were all arrogant and couldn't be hired just by having money. That was the root of his previous headaches.

If you're talking about hiring someone to protect you for a short time, that's fine, but facing the Dragon King's Palace assassination attempt, you'd need to either destroy the Dragon King's Palace or find someone to mediate between them.

Otherwise, the assassination attempt might continue indefinitely, and could even implicate the forces behind the martial artists he had invited.

Now that he knows he can hire people from the Temple of Gods with money, it's like a godsend.

"That's true. Mr. Li may not have much else, but he certainly doesn't lack money."

Luo Yuntian chuckled and casually sent the number, "Okay, then I'll send you the personal number of the person in charge of the Heavenly God Palace. You can contact them yourself."

The contact information he sent was the one Goldman Sachs used exclusively at the Temple of Heaven.

With the matter temporarily settled, the people from the Temple of Slaughter cleared the triangular nails from the road and then returned to the manor villa in a grand procession.

On the other side, two protectors carried Xiao Chen back to the hotel in a hurry. As soon as they entered the private room, Xiao Chen couldn't help but clutch his chest and spit out a mouthful of blood, staining the carpet in front of him red.

"Damn it! We actually got tricked like that!"

He paused for a while, feeling the surging internal energy and damaged meridians within his body. His face was so gloomy it could drip water, and his eyes were filled with boundless rage.

When the Fox Hunt team returned to the private room, Xiao Chen suppressed his anger and asked in a sinister tone, "Fox Hunt, have you found out who the employer is this time?"

"It's Li Tingchuan from a collateral branch of the Li family."

Fox Hunter replied in a deep voice, paused, and then hesitated before adding, "Boss, I don't think this might be a trap deliberately set by the employer."

"Huh? What do you mean by that?"

Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed suddenly, his icy gaze slicing through Fox Hunt like a knife, and the air pressure around him dropped several degrees.

"That's right, according to the information I've gathered, Li Tingchuan, he..."

Fox Hunter recounted the power struggles within the Li family in detail, concluding, "Therefore, there's no need for Li Tingchuan to set a trap when he hired us to assassinate Li Shiheng."

After all, with Li Shiheng dead, he was the most likely person to take over the Li Group, so there was no reason for him to shoot himself in the foot.

"So, the news leaked?"

After hearing the analysis, Xiao Chen's expression turned even uglier than before. This was even more troublesome than being tricked by his employer.

This means that either there was a traitor within the Dragon King's Palace, or someone deliberately leaked information, clearly intending to kill him!

At this moment, Long Yi stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Dragon King, I will report this matter to the old Dragon King immediately. Right now, the most important thing is to find a safe place to recuperate. Your injuries cannot be delayed."

Xiao Chen opened his mouth, but had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only nod in frustration.

He had just recovered from one setback when he was severely injured again. What kind of situation is this?! Ever since he stepped into the Dragon Kingdom, nothing has gone smoothly for him. He's had the worst luck ever!

Meanwhile, inside Lingtian Manor in Haishi.

Luo Lingtian was playing a game with three beautiful women wearing virtual reality headsets, leveling up. This game was controlled by Luo Ya, so news from the outside world could naturally be transmitted to him in real time.

While controlling his character to help the three girls fight monsters and complete quests, he glanced at the message Luo Ya had sent and sighed helplessly, "Oh, Xiao Chen actually got away? And now you have another late-stage Innate Realm protector?"

Sure enough, his intuition was right.

This time, by taking the initiative to help Li Shiheng, connecting him with Mo Yu, notifying Ye Fan, and even sending Luo Yuntian over, the purpose was simply to test whether Xiao Chen could escape under such a blockade.

The result was obvious: Xiao Chen's bodyguards were stronger than he had expected.

Although there was only one more late-stage Innate Realm expert, it also meant that there might be more unexpected protectors in the future.

Since that's the case, there's no need for him to rush into action. He can just sit back and watch the show, observing the others' battle with Xiao Chen.

All he needs to do is secretly lend a hand to Zhao Hao, Mo Yu, and their group, allowing them to gain the upper hand.

As for why he did this, it's simple: he just wanted to see if the tropes from the time-travel novels he read in his previous life would work.

In those novels, when the protagonist transmigrates into the villainous role, doesn't he always use the same tactics as the original male lead—suppression and seizing opportunities—to gradually weaken the opponent's luck until it hits rock bottom before taking him down in one fell swoop?

He's just copying what he's doing, but unfortunately he can't see the so-called luck value, so he can't accurately grasp the timing of his move.

But it doesn't matter, he has his own way of making judgments.

Luo Yuntian curled his lips into a smile, thinking to himself, "It seems that Li Tingchuan from the Li family is doomed this time."

Although he couldn't see other people's luck, he had read so many novels in his previous life, and based on Lin Xuanxuan and Li Tingchuan's performance, they were most likely the male and female protagonists of this world.

If they hadn't encountered these two "variables," he and Luo Yuntian, these two might have actually made a name for themselves and achieved something great in the future.

But now that Li Shiheng knows that Li Tingchuan hired someone to assassinate him, he will definitely deal with him to the death.

It's just unknown whether Li Tingchuan has Xiao Chen's incredible luck, enough to escape from a desperate situation and even turn the tables.

Only Qian Yutang, who was far away in Quling City, didn't know about this, otherwise she would have informed Luo Lingtian overnight that Li Tingchuan was doomed!

After all, from the moment Li Tingchuan dared to confront Luo Lingtian, the "Son of Heaven," his fortune began to fluctuate and decline.

This time, Luo Lingtian personally intervened, adding to Li Shiheng's strength and boosting his luck. Li Tingchuan's luck was completely suppressed, and facing Li Shiheng with his full aura, he had no chance of winning and was doomed to die.

"Ling Tian! What are you daydreaming about? I can't take it anymore!"

Just as Luo Lingtian was lost in thought, he heard Dongfang Mingyue's panicked shouts.

He quickly looked back and saw that Dongfang Mingyue was tanking the monster in front of him, and her health bar had dropped to the red warning line. She was about to be killed by the monster.

"Here it comes! Behold my healing magic!"

Luo Lingtian immediately dismissed all distracting thoughts. Whether Li Tingchuan lived or died didn't matter; he couldn't cause any trouble anyway.

He swiftly raised his staff, and a dense, emerald-green beam of light instantly enveloped Dongfang Mingyue, causing her health bar to surge back to more than half its original value.

Yes, you read that right. Luo Lingtian is holding a staff, and his profession is obviously that of a pharmacist.

The virtual game "Fantasy Immortals" has five classes: Warrior, Swordsman, Assassin, Warlock, and Healer.

The three women of Dongfang Mingyue are the warrior Dongfang Mingyue, the assassin Song Xinyan, and the sorcerer Qin Qingcheng.

Luo Lingtian originally wanted to play a warrior, but the three women insisted that he play a healer. After all, all three women were damage dealers, and without a support/healer, how could the game be played?

Of course, only the three girls found it difficult, since this is a virtual game, not the kind where you control a game character while looking at a computer.

Players can dodge the attacks of game monsters, provided that their skill level and awareness are high enough.
