People are devouring everything; I have a bucket list.

Mingyue Residential Area.

Inside the lobby of the Xiao family villa.

Luo Feng was chatting with his younger brother Luo Hua, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

After chatting for a while, Luo Hua, taking advantage of his parents being busy preparing dinner, couldn't help but ask:

"Brother, is something on your mind?"

Luo Hua paused, then said hesitantly:

"I've noticed you keep looking out the window, is something wrong?"

The first floor of the villa has a huge floor-to-ceiling window that connects directly to the yard, and the living room is also located in this area.

Therefore, Luo Hua easily noticed Luo Feng's frequent glances towards the outside.

Having grown up under the same roof, Luo Hua knew Luo Feng's habits very well, which is why he had this question.

Seeing that Luo Hua had pointed this out, Luo Feng was taken aback for a moment, then gave a wry smile:

"...Nothing serious, just checking to see if Brother Xiao is back yet."

"Oh." Luo Hua suddenly realized, and could somewhat understand Luo Feng's 'concerns'.

After all, it was no secret that their family had offended the Zhang family.

Although Luo Hua didn't hear it, he knew that his parents must have discussed this matter in secret several times, but they just didn't bring it up in front of their child.

To put it bluntly, the Luo family is currently living under someone else's roof, and specifically under Xiao Yang's wing. It's understandable that the Luo family would worry about Xiao Yang's safety.

"Brother, I don't think you need to worry." Luo Hua lowered his voice and explained softly, "Do you know Head Instructor Wu from the Limitless Martial Arts Academy?"

Upon hearing his younger brother's words, Luo Feng immediately realized what was going on:

"You mean Wu Tong, Chief Instructor Wu, from Yangzhou?"

This is the head instructor in charge of the Yangzhou City Extreme Martial Arts Academy, who actually manages the training of all martial artists.

When Luo Feng was still a trainee, he was always eager to attend his public training sessions.

What's wrong with this person?

At this moment, Luo Hua whispered:

"When my parents went to the neighborhood supermarket to buy groceries this morning, Instructor Wu came to visit with a gift box, saying he wanted to pay a visit to General Xiao."

"I think that with Brother Xiao Yang having such a lot of influence, the Zhang family probably wouldn't dare to make a move against our family."

"Is that so?" Luo Feng was stunned.

Chief Instructor Wu Tong visited with gifts.

Luo Feng felt a little dazed when he heard this, but then he realized it made sense.

They were all members of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy and lived in Mingyue Community. It was quite normal for Chief Instructor Wu Tong to visit Xiao Yang, a senior warrior colleague, after learning that Xiao Yang lived there.

Even a war god has to deal with personal relationships; this is indeed quite normal.

However, Luo Feng simply couldn't imagine that Xiao Yang, who occasionally came up with bad ideas, was the important figure that even Chief Instructor Wu Tong had to give gifts to.

This somewhat shattered his preconceived notions!

Yes, that's true. The security cameras at the entrance recorded it.

Luo Hua offered an explanation, then whispered:

"However, I didn't tell my parents about this. I was planning to tell Xiao Yang when he came back, but he went out again before even coming in."

"I see. You did the right thing." Luo Feng didn't think there was anything wrong with what his brother did.

Wu Tong came to visit Xiao Yang. This matter has nothing to do with his parents, and it would be useless to say anything. His parents would not be able to come forward to receive Chief Instructor Wu on Xiao Yang's behalf.

So it's normal not to say anything, and of course, it wouldn't be a big deal even if you did.

However, for some reason, Luo Feng felt a little envious.

Who knows if, in the future, Luo Feng will one day become someone whom even Chief Instructor Wu would have to visit with gifts?

Just as Luo Feng was feeling envious, the buzzing sound of a motorcycle engine began.

Luo Feng and Luo Hua turned around and immediately saw that Xiao Yang had driven the flying motorcycle to the villa's entrance.

"Brother Xiao is back." Luo Feng immediately stood up and pushed his younger brother's wheelchair. "Let's go pick him up."

The villa's gate opened automatically after sensing the flying motorcycle's signal.

Xiao Yang casually parked his motorcycle in the yard. After getting off, he saw Luo Feng pushing his younger brother Luo Hua out of the villa.

It seems that because of the high disability rate among martial artists, there are accessible ramps for people with disabilities at the entrances of the villas in Mingyue Community.

Luo Feng easily pushed his younger brother forward and greeted Xiao Yang:

"Brother Xiao, is everything done?"

"It's done."

Xiao Yang glanced at Luo Hua, smiled, and didn't explain much:

"Luo Hua, are you settling in well here?"

"The environment here is very nice, I like it very much." Luo Hua smiled, and then said to Xiao Yang, "Brother Xiao Yang, Chief Instructor Wu Tong came by this morning. I told him you weren't here, but he asked me to tell you, and then he insisted on leaving the fruit gift box behind."

"Teacher Wu?" Xiao Yang was taken aback, as he had a deep impression of this head instructor.

He was 24 years old, six years older than Luo Feng. When Xiao Yang was a student at the Limit Martial Arts Academy, Wu Tong had not yet become the head instructor and was only a senior instructor.

At that time, Xiao Yang was under the supervision of another instructor, and Wu Tong could only be said to have given him guidance a few times.

Otherwise, Wu Tong wouldn't have brought gifts to Xiao Yang's door immediately after receiving his message.

The relationship isn't deep, but at least they can talk to each other and it's normal for them to visit each other.

"I understand. I'll call Professor Wu later and let him know. I'll visit him in a while."

Xiao Yang wasn't stupid, nor was he a mean-spirited person. He would still make use of this network of relationships if possible.

"That's good, then I've delivered the message."

Luo Hua breathed a sigh of relief and said with a somewhat relaxed expression.

Then, Luo Hua asked Xiao Yang curiously:

"By the way, Brother Xiao Yang, why were you in such a hurry to leave? Did something happen?"

Luo Feng was surprised that Luo Hua would ask this question, so he gently pushed the wheelchair to remind his younger brother not to ask any more questions.

Luo Hua noticed the movement of the chair and immediately realized that he had asked too many questions.

He was taken aback by Xiao Yang's friendly attitude yesterday and actually thought the two had a good relationship. In addition, he had been feeling down about the Zhang family's matter for the past two days, so he subconsciously asked.

In response to Luo Hua's question, Xiao Yang glanced at Luo Feng and then casually replied:

"That is indeed a major event."

At this point, seeing Luo Hua and Luo Feng looking over curiously, Xiao Yang immediately explained:

"I received word that Extreme House will soon be selling a batch of life-giving water that can regenerate severed limbs, so I asked someone to inquire about it."

Upon hearing that his severed limb had been regenerated, Luo Hua, who was sitting in a wheelchair, immediately changed his expression.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng's eyes lit up: "Brother Xiao, can we buy this Water of Life? How much does it cost?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang smiled and explained, "It's available for purchase. This is something that has been supplied from the Americas for a long time. The external price is 300 billion, but the domestic price is even lower."

"Basically, a high-ranking general can afford it in one or two years."

Upon hearing this, Luo Hua, who had initially held some hope, became slightly uneasy.

Three hundred billion? It would take a year for a high-level general to achieve that?

Is it worth spending so much money for his leg?

Even if you sold him, he wouldn't be worth that much money, right?

Before Luo Hua could react, Xiao Yang calmly said, "With your talent, Luo Feng, becoming a War God within a year is no problem. When that time comes, just buy one bottle through the Extreme Martial Arts Academy's channels, and that will be enough for Luo Hua."

"If that's not enough, I can lend you some in advance, but there will be interest, you know what I mean."

Xiao Yang gave Luo Feng a knowing look, and Luo Feng immediately understood.

"Interest rate is no problem!"

"Brother!" Luo Hua was immediately shocked. His brother was about to take on a loan of 30 billion?!

Although he dreamed of becoming very rich, what he wanted to become was not this kind of negative wealth!

At this moment, it was Luo Feng who was very resolute:

"Luo Hua, you've heard what Brother Xiao Yang said too. Within a year, I'll become a War God!"

"It's just a 30 billion loan, it's not like we can't afford it."

"But!!" Luo Hua wanted to say something, but Luo Feng stopped him.

"Alright, I'll push you inside first. I still have something to discuss with Brother Xiao."

"Wait, bro, at least let me hear what you're up to!"

"No, you have to go in today. Leave the rest to me."

Why don't you listen to people?

Luo Hua was helplessly pushed into the living room by his own brother.

Not long after, Luo Feng came out again, glancing at Xiao Yang with a hesitant expression.

At this moment, Xiao Yang calmly said:

"Don't think about it."

"It's true that you can become a war god within a year, and the water of life is also true."

"As for the reason, do you remember your headaches?"

"Now that you're a quasi-martial artist, go to the Limitless House and look up information on mentalists. You'll understand why I was so sure you could become a War God within a year."

Luo Feng was taken aback upon hearing this, and hesitated for a moment.

He had genuinely believed that Xiao Yang's claim of becoming a War God within a year was a lie, intended to reassure Luo Hua about using the Water of Life.

But now it seems that Xiao Yang is more confident than he is about becoming a war god within a year?

Moreover, a spiritualist?

Does he really have this kind of talent?

Luo Feng hesitated for a moment, harboring many questions in his mind, but finally asked the question that concerned him most:

"Brother Xiao, how's it going with the Zhang family?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang simply smiled gently and said:

"The Zhang family no longer exists."

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng froze, then gasped.

Then, Luo Feng gritted his teeth and said to Xiao Yang:

"Brother Xiao, if the security bureau comes looking for you, just say I did it."

Xiao Yang was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing:

"Forget about it. I hired someone else to do it. Even if they find out, I won't be held responsible."

In fact, Xiao Yang knew very well that the truth would definitely be found out, but he insisted on having it uncovered.

A genius who suddenly gains the spirit of plants and trees in a single day, transforms from a quasi-martial artist into a general, and even displays the talent to rapidly comprehend the second level of the nine-fold thunder blade—who knows if he has powerful backers?

Xiao Yang deliberately used the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit to make the investigators "think" that he had someone backing him.

Once the investigators realize this, they will not dare to act rashly in the short term.

Then, Xiao Yang would have plenty of time to turn the person with the backing into someone else himself!

Therefore, in response to Luo Feng's concerns, Xiao Yang patted Luo Feng on the shoulder with ease and said:

"Let's go back first. Before lunchtime, let's go to the training room and I'll explain the matter of a mentalist and your condition to you."

"Oh, oh!" Luo Feng followed Xiao Yang into the villa with a conflicted expression, but inwardly he was amazed.

The Zhang family is gone? Or did Brother Xiao have someone do it?

In just those ten minutes or so, less than half an hour, Brother Xiao found someone to take care of the Zhang family?

Is this the assassin they hired?

Is it really that efficient?

At this moment, Luo Feng was somewhat dazed.

-----------------

Xinyuan Villa District.

The former Zhang Family Villa, now reduced to ashes.

Liu Yanzheng, the director of the special department of the State Security Bureau, stood in front of the scorched earth and took a deep drag on his cigarette.

"How is the situation?"

Upon hearing this question, a security bureau member who was working on his computer nearby swallowed hard.

"Director Liu, the situation is not good."

"Do you even need to tell me?" Liu Yan said unhappily, "Arson, two dead and one seriously injured, including a martial artist among the dead. If I can't solve this kind of major case, I'll be in trouble myself. This is a terrible situation, do you really need to tell me how bad it is, Xiao Zhang?"

At this moment, Xiao Zhang, his voice hoarse, held the computer up to Liu Yan:

"No, Director Liu, what I mean is, the killer has been traced, but now that we've found him, the situation is even worse!"

As he spoke, Xiao Zhang clicked on a video.

Liu Yan looked down and saw that it was a surveillance video that had been slowed down by more than ten times. The camera angle was outside the Zhang family villa, shining on the street lamp at the gate.

Liu Yan looked at the camera and saw a string of fire surge into the Zhang family's house, transforming into a figure bathed in flames, its face obscured.

Then, everything in the Zhang family began to burn, until Zhang Haobai was thrown from the living room into the swimming pool.

As Liu Yan watched the monitor screen, he gasped sharply, drawing in the surrounding burning smell so intensely that he coughed repeatedly.

"Controlling flames? Transforming into fire?!"

"This...this...this is a technique surpassing even the God of War?!"

Realizing this, Liu Yan instantly went numb.

Those are among the few who surpass the God of War in the entire country, and they are known as members of parliament.

Would such a powerful figure personally take action to eliminate the Zhang family?

Realizing this, Liu Yan couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"How ruthless are the Zhang family? They even dare to offend a councilor? And to the point that the councilor is willing to condescend and personally take action?"

At this moment, Xiao Zhang said awkwardly:

"Director Liu, shall we continue the investigation?"

"My hands are shaking right now. I'm afraid that if I keep investigating, I'll end up investigating some leader."

"Director Liu, may I ask for a day off?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yan's face twitched, and with trembling hands, he took the cigarette pack out of his pocket again, even dropping it in the process.

He took several deep breaths, picked up the pack of cigarettes, shook one out, and put it in his mouth.

The smell of nicotine revitalized him.

"Report it!"

"We can't investigate such deities!"

"Okay~" Xiao Zhang felt relieved when he heard this.

Reporting it is good, reporting it is brilliant!

Such a major matter should be left to the higher-ups to investigate.

The Zhang family was never a good family to begin with. There were tons of reports of them breaking the law and violating regulations, but they were all suppressed because of their martial arts backgrounds. Their deaths are just a way of eliminating a scourge.

Are you suggesting he risk offending a congressman to investigate? Do you think he's stupid?

And most importantly, he only makes 10,000 yuan a month, why would he work so hard?

Thanks to Xiao Zhang's efforts, the Zhang family villa case was officially declared closed under the pretext of a "gas explosion".

The real inside story was reported up through the security bureau's special channels.

As for where it was specifically reported?

Xiao Zhang dared not ask, and Liu Yan dared not investigate.

In short, let's keep everyone confused!
