Swallowing the Stars: The Wind Sword Master.

Chapter 46 Teasing Wang Xing'an

HR Alliance Mall, in the room on the top floor.

Opposite the sofa are two video windows, one on the left and one on the right.

On the left is a gaunt, somewhat gloomy-looking middle-aged man with a thick mustache, while on the right is a beautiful, full-faced, and somewhat graceful middle-aged woman.

"Xing'an, haven't the War Squad made a move?" The gaunt-faced middle-aged man asked with a frown.

Wang Xing'an's expression was somewhat unpleasant, and he replied in a deep voice, "No, he was just a bit agitated at the beginning, but now he's sitting there motionless."

The gaunt middle-aged man frowned deeply, his eyes flashing with cold light. He stroked his small mustache and scolded, "You bastard, you suddenly caused such a huge mess, and the other person isn't even panicked. Do you know what that means?"

"According to the information from 003, this kid is named 'Wind Killing Sword.' All martial artists give way to him when they see him. How domineering is that? His overall strength is at least at the level of a war god. He has the ability, but he doesn't make a move. That's called being fearless because he's confident. He must have discovered our arrangements and is confident that his backup plan can guarantee his safety."

"You never even think before you act! Do you think you can easily offend someone like that? If your mother and I hadn't been keeping an eye on you, by the time we found out, your head would have been chopped off!"

Wang Xing'an suddenly shuddered. He had been waiting patiently for the combat team to return, but after a few days, he received a message from his parents scolding him.

The two men were closely monitoring their son's movements. When they realized they might have offended someone while compiling information, they immediately questioned Wang Xing'an and quickly confirmed that the person Wang Xing'an had sent to kill was "Wind Killing Sword" from City 003.

After a scolding, Wang Xing'an realized just how talented a person he had offended.

However, the information comes from a systematic statistical analysis of the Wang family's network of connections. This is an information network established by the Wang family itself, which includes geniuses, strong individuals, and wealthy merchants. Originally, it was used to recruit geniuses and conduct business activities, but it cannot be ruled out that the network is also used to deal with enemies and find potential threats.

At first, Ning Ze's reputation as the "Wind-Slaying Sword" wasn't very widespread, as it was just a rumor. However, when he sold monster materials at the Limit Martial Arts Academy, he directly demonstrated his strength. The information network detected Wang Xing'an's unusual activity, and the Wang family's information network immediately sent an alert.

They couldn't possibly make a move at the Extreme Club. Fortunately, Ning Ze and his group arrived at the Underground Alliance, and they took advantage of this time to find a trustworthy War God to come over. They didn't actually make a move until night.

"Stop scolding the child." A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged woman with a gentle face. "Can't we let 'Wild Wolf' take action now? Just kill that kid and be done with it. I'll handle things in the base city. I guarantee that the base city's guards and police won't interfere, and we'll give you plenty of time to deal with it."

"Nonsense!" the middle-aged man with the beard sneered, "Since Supervisor Dong was able to help this kid before, it means he had already reported it to the headquarters of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy."

"Taking action now would be tantamount to telling the outside world that we have a conflict with this kid and that we deliberately set a trap to kill him. The more we try to cover it up, the faster we will be exposed, and even the alliance's reputation will be damaged."

"What's even more terrifying is the Limitless Martial Arts School. Do you think the people there are easy to fool? If you want Xing'an dead, then let Wolf Blade do it!"

Upon hearing this, the beautiful middle-aged noblewoman immediately fell silent, and even Wang Xing'an felt a chill run down his spine. The gaunt middle-aged man snorted coldly and continued, "If you want to take action, you must wait until we finish processing that batch of materials and eliminate the detection traces left by the Limitless Martial Arts Academy before you can openly take action against this kid."

"Back then, even if he fought back and caused a huge commotion, it wouldn't matter. We could still have a reason to refuse. Let alone a manager from the East, even if the president of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, 'Iron Hand' Zhou Yongzheng, came, we would still have a valid reason."

"As for now, that kid has at least the strength of a War God. Once a War God-level combat power is unleashed, the entire building will be in danger. How big of a commotion would that cause? We definitely can't make a move without proper preparation."

"Xing'an, how long will it take to process that batch of materials?" the beautiful noblewoman asked anxiously. He was her only son, whom she usually doted on. Now that she had offended such a person, she was extremely flustered.

Wang Xing'an's face was very ugly. "It will take at least three more hours." He was very panicked. A genius who had reached the level of a war god in just four months, any later and he would really be waiting to die!

He now deeply regrets it. He thought he was just a minor genius, but he never expected that Zhai Yanke would recommend someone like this!

"Three hours!"

The beautiful noblewoman screamed; something unexpected was bound to happen after such a long time.

After all, their deal was down to negotiating the price. Ning Ze was under control, but Ning Hua and the others couldn't be controlled. They could only activate the signal jammer inside the building, which was beyond the control of those outside.

"What should we do?" The beautiful noblewoman turned her head to the other side, her eyes full of questions.

The gaunt middle-aged man had a thoughtful look in his eyes. After more than ten seconds, he spoke: "The destructive power of a War God-level being is very strong and will inevitably cause a commotion. It doesn't matter how much damage is done or how many people die, but there is no strong evidence that they took the initiative. At least the authorities can suppress it. At most, it will just be some ordinary people."

"What I fear most is the Limitless Martial Arts Academy. It concerns the growth of geniuses. If anything goes wrong, they will absolutely not tolerate it. If they investigate and find any clues, even you and I won't escape. Unless..."

"Unless what? You're still keeping me in suspense at a time like this!" The beautiful noblewoman was extremely anxious, and her face became somewhat distorted.

Wang Xing'an was also listening intently; he was genuinely scared at this moment.

The gaunt middle-aged man squinted and said, "Unless you can make him do it! If he does it voluntarily, we can record it. With current technology, videos can't be faked. From the moment he makes the first move, anything can happen. Even if the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy blames us, we won't be at fault."

"At most, we'll defend ourselves, and at worst, we'll suffer economic losses. If they make the first move, we can use heavy weapons to destroy all the materials, and that will cover up the material problem. At most, we'll just suffer more losses."

Wang Xing'an suddenly realized what was going on. He nodded vigorously and said, "Dad, I understand! I'll do it right away."

"Go ahead, but be careful. Even if it doesn't work out, there will be other opportunities. Don't put yourself in danger," the gaunt middle-aged man advised. He and his wife loved Wang Xing'an very much; otherwise, they wouldn't have been so indulgent.

"good!"

After saying that, Wang Xing'an turned around and excitedly walked downstairs. He had already come up with a solution.

A short while later.

Wang Xing'an arrived at the VIP room where the Warfire Squad was being received, and he stood in front of Ning Ze.

Beside him was a middle-aged man who was about 1.7 meters tall and had a very ordinary appearance. He walked quietly and was easily overlooked.

Wang Xing'an looked him over with great interest. Looking at his face, he had to admit that Ning Ze was indeed good-looking, especially now that he was wearing a white combat uniform. He had a unique temperament at first glance. Although it was a combat uniform, he could wear it with a refined and cultured feeling.

His arms were crossed over his chest, a gesture of complete confidence, even in the current situation. He held a silver-white longsword in his arms, a gesture that was both unrestrained and menacing.

Wang Xing'an and Ning Ze stared at each other. He was sure Ning Ze could guess who he was, even if he didn't know him personally. However, those indifferent eyes revealed nothing about what this person was thinking.

Wang Xing'an chuckled, masking his fear, and teased, "Great genius, do you even know who I am?"

"You're afraid of me." Ning Ze's voice was very calm. He could tell at a glance that this person was all bark and no bite. He looked strong on the outside, but he wasn't strong on the inside. He looked him up and down three times before daring to speak. Many of the monsters that died by his sword were like this. He was very familiar with them.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xing'an's face darkened, then he sneered again, "Xiao Guai is a really good name."

Ning Ze slightly shifted his gaze, glancing at the person indifferently. He had already memorized the person's appearance; in his mind, this person was already associated with death.

Wang Xin'an felt a chill in his heart. He suppressed his discomfort and said with a wicked smile, "Of course, he's a very nice person too. The plum blossom mole on his chest is very pretty."

Ning Ze smiled slightly, turned his head, and said softly, "Thank you."

Wang Xing'an was stunned. In that instant, he felt that Ning Ze was a bit abnormal. He thought his behavior was abnormal enough, but he didn't expect that there was someone even more abnormal than him.

He was talking about a private area! As adults, we all know what he meant by what he had already done to Shuyi.

The man in front of her was Shuyi's husband, but she thanked him and wasn't angry at all about knowing such a private matter.

"Confused?" Ning Ze's lips curled into a playful smile, his eyes looking at him as if he were an idiot.

Wang Xing'an clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could punch the man in the face, but he knew he couldn't. What he wanted was for the man to take the initiative. Modern video technology couldn't fake it, and if it really came down to a fight, he wouldn't be able to win.

Ning Ze's amused expression deepened, and he said leisurely, "The information you have is outdated. That cute little three-pointed flower was still there two years ago, but it disappeared a year ago."

Wang Xing'an's face changed from red to green as he thought of the middle-aged man who had been brought back and confessed everything in a few words. He was furious. How dare a beggar lie to him!

Ning Ze couldn't help but laugh heartily, looking at him like he was an idiot. "You actually believed that? Were you just thinking you'd been tricked? Thinking about killing that person?" He paused slightly, then asked in a consultative tone, "How about... you let me kill the person who told you this secret?" He paused again, "Of course, you can arrange for someone to kill them now, um... thank you. I might not be able to easily do it. After all, that person is someone close to Xiao Guai."

Wang Xing'an remained silent. He realized that he couldn't figure out what this person was thinking at all, let alone ask him to take action.

For the first time, he discovered that martial artists who were not afraid of their family's power were so difficult to deal with, completely unpredictable, fearless, and impossible to attack.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Zuo Xingyuan and the others burst into laughter, looking at Wang Xing'an as if he were an idiot. He had been tricked and exposed in just a few words. This young master Lu Taishun's cunning still needs improvement. His acting skills couldn't even fool the monsters in the wilderness, yet he managed to fool them, the martial artists who kill monsters.

Ning Ze smiled and leaned back on the sofa, saying softly, "You told me three things this time. First, my family is safe, so you can't attack them from that angle. Second, just as I thought, you're afraid of the martial arts school, and you want me to make a move. This shows you're not prepared enough."

"Finally, there's one more very important thing, do you know what it is?"

Wang Xing'an could no longer tolerate Ning Ze's teasing. It was the first time anyone had dared to treat him like this. Enraged, he retorted, "What are you so arrogant about? You dare touch me? Do you believe I'll have you killed right now?"

Ning Ze chuckled and shook his head mockingly. "Thank you so much for ending this farce. Someone should be coming to compensate me now." He then stood up.

Wang Xing'an's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he quickly took two steps back.

Ning Ze didn't stop him, and just watched with a smile on his face.

When Wang Xing'an noticed an ordinary-looking middle-aged man standing beside him, his expression suddenly relaxed, and he said respectfully, "Uncle Wolf. Thank you."

Ning Ze said with a playful expression, "Thank him? What's the use of thanking him?"

"Young man, don't be so arrogant!" the ordinary-looking man said in a deep voice, which was very hoarse and slightly cracked, and his pronunciation was also a bit hesitant, as if he didn't like to talk.

Ning Ze smiled slightly at Wang Xin'an, "I'm talking to you to observe his strength. Are you talking to me to show that you're an idiot?" He ignored Wang Xin'an, who was about to explode in anger. If it weren't for his powerful background, he wouldn't even bother to look at this kind of person.

Turning his head, he said indifferently, "I'll give you a chance. Leave now, and I'll pretend this never happened."

"Ha!...Ha!...Ha!" Three short, hoarse laughs followed, and a mocking smile appeared on the lips of the ordinary-looking middle-aged man. "Young man, quite confident. You think you can kill someone by my hand?"

Ning Ze smiled slightly and asked in return, "Why do you think my strength has improved so quickly?"

The ordinary-looking middle-aged man was taken aback, his pupils suddenly contracting. He looked Ning Ze up and down, his expression somewhat conflicted. After a brief silence, he calmly said, "A mentalist?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xing'an, who had been furious, suddenly felt a chill. If it were a martial artist, the 'Wild Wolf' would definitely be able to stop Ning Ze, but if a mentalist were added to the mix...

The most unpredictable attacks come from mentalists, especially since it's said that Ning Ze's martial artists all possess the strength of advanced warriors! If they are two levels higher, they would be mid-level war gods. Although 'Wild Wolf' is also a mid-level war god, mentalists are invincible among martial artists.

Even if he only has the physical qualities of a mid-level warrior, that mentalist has the strength of a beginner war god. In this situation, the wolf can withstand the attack, but protecting him is very risky.

Seeing Wang Xing'an's expression, Ning Ze became even more certain. He then took the initiative and asked, "A mid-level War God? Leave now, and my words still stand."

Wild Wolf's face was expressionless as he said in a deep voice, "I owe the Wang family a favor."

Ning Ze's heart sank. The most difficult to deal with are true martial artists, because martial artists have very firm wills, and they are often very principled and have a strong sense of right and wrong!

He has no strength whatsoever as a mid-level war god. His mental strength is 12000 kg, which doesn't even qualify him as a mid-level war general. He can only control three flying swords, which is equivalent to three times the force he exerts.

He might not win if he takes action under these circumstances!

Ning Ze looked at the wolf with an indifferent expression, and the wolf stared back at him with a cautious gaze.

A sudden, intense sense of oppression filled the room, as if a battle was about to erupt.
