A streak of light flashed in the distance. Lu Yan aimed at the light and suddenly threw out the corpse, causing it to fly and fall towards Sun Xian, the director of the Security Bureau who was rushing over.

Wang Tu became anxious and ignored the bionic man who was fighting with him. He swung his sword hard at the corpse, but Liu Guang blocked it first, and the corpse successfully fell into the hands of the director.

On the other side, Lu Yan took back the card. The attack of many silver cards from the Wang family card master made [Bathing in Dragon Blood] distorted. Lu Yan sneered and crashed into the shadow beside him. His body fell into the shadow and disappeared.

Of course, he didn't enter the shadow, he just made a special effect for them to see, achieving the stealth effect through gradual invisibility. In fact, after concealing his breath, he directly launched [Soul Chaser] to escape.

Wang Tu's sword energy fell, and the villa was half-broken again. The director of the Security Bureau picked up the half-dead Dimension Card Master and dealt with him simply with magic.

Before the Wang family patriarch turned around and spoke, Sun took the initiative and raised the Dimension Society card master with a smile: "Patriarch Wang, it seems you need to explain the situation in detail. He is not really from the Dimension Society, right?"

"I don't know."

The old fox reacted quickly and said coldly: "The mecha man who attacked the Wang family mansion just now threw out this person I have never seen before..."

Returning to the shop with some blood, Jiang Jiu was a little curious about his spatial movement and subconsciously raised his body. Lu Yan patted his chest and turned the Bathing Dragon Blood back into a card, and the blood immediately fell to the ground.

More than a minute later, Lamia rushed back from outside. She had been lurking on a building not far from the Wang family manor. Once Lu Yan was in danger, she would burst out at the speed of sound to save him.

Oh, Jiang Jiu was also watching secretly. In short, he had too many cards, Lamia, Sun Xian, and Jiang Jiu. Lu Yan had no psychological burden at all in this operation.

The only pity is that the Dragon Blood Bath and two gold-level summons were exposed to the Director of the Security Bureau.

"I'll get the mop."

Lamia looked at the blood on the ground and immediately took action, picked up the mop and started mopping the floor. Lu Yan did not let Lamia do it alone, and took the other mop from her hand to clean up the bloodstains.

The store manager didn't ask any more questions. Since Lu Yan had returned safely, there was no problem. The Security Bureau would come forward to resolve the issue later. After all, this was their job. If a non-staff member did it all, there would be no need for a Security Bureau at all.

"The Li family reunion is coming soon, are you ready?"

Jiang Jiu suddenly asked. Lu Yan opened his mouth and turned back, obviously not reacting: "What are you preparing for? Isn't it enough to just go there?"

"Xisheng has quite a few admirers. They might cause trouble for you. Maybe even students from the Magic City Card Master Academy will follow you."

"No need to prepare. I'm basically invincible among my peers, unless they are from Yandu."

Waving his hand to show that he didn't care about his peers causing trouble, Jiang Jiu's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he continued to give orders: "What about your clothes? You will be looked down upon if you look like this, do you know?"

"Just buy a suit, but do you really need to wear a suit to a big family gathering?"

After quickly mopping the floor with Lamia and handing the mop to the mechanical girl, Lu Yan sat next to Jiang Jiu and asked. As the eldest daughter of a large family, the pink-haired girl, who had a lot of say, coughed:

"Of course, a big family's New Year's Eve gathering isn't just a family sitting together having fun, but rather it's a family split into several factions competing with each other."

"It's not just the Li family that's coming. All the big and small forces under the Li family will be gathering here. Given Li Xisheng's status in the family, I guess a lot of attention will be focused on her."

"The Li family has probably known about your relationship with her for a long time. The older generation will definitely want to test you, and the younger generation will also try to attack you to hurt Xisheng. Those who want to marry Xisheng will also be dissatisfied with you."

"Aren't you from the Lu family? How come you don't even know this?"

Jiang Jiu rolled his eyes at Lu Yan, but Lu Yan was very confident:

"In previous years, when the annual meeting was held, I just stayed at home and watched TV. I never went, and no one cared about me."

"That's right. Otherwise, with the Lu family's habits, you would have become a playboy long ago. It's a good thing they didn't help you awaken. Otherwise, the Lu family would have been the only one in power, and the entire family would have become stronger and stronger."

Thinking of Lu Yan's talent, the pink-haired girl swung her hair and slapped him in the face, sighing in admiration.

Chapter 164 New Year Holiday.

At noon the next day, a dazed Lu Yan picked up his mobile phone with the hand that had passed through Lamia's neck and looked at the new information sent by Zhao Qian.

The Wang family sternly denied that they had any connection with the same dimension, saying that it was all a false accusation. On the other hand, they paid a huge price to the Security Bureau in secret to protect themselves.

Due to "insufficient evidence", the Security Bureau stopped its attack on the Wang family and chose to quit while it was ahead.

After all, the Wang family is one of the two local giants and is related to the livelihood of the people. If we do not weaken them first, but choose to directly wipe out the Wang family, it will also have a huge impact on ordinary people below.

Everything has to be done slowly. Lu Yan has no objection to this. He just wants to make some money. By March next year, the Security Bureau will be able to provide the [Light of Worship] that Lu Yan needs.

This is the first card, and there will be more rewards for the Wang family in the future.

Looking at the message, Lu Yan fell into deep thought, then turned around and started chatting with Li Xisheng on social media.

[After the Wang family is destroyed, won't your Li family be next?]

The eldest lady sent a message not long after, first with a series of question marks and ellipsis, and then began to explain.

【? 】

【…】

I believe the Wang family was destroyed because they refused to obey the Security Bureau and colluded with the Dimension Society. It has nothing to do with a law-abiding family like ours, the Li family.

Li Xisheng talked to Lu Yan, the marginalized immediate relative in the large family, about why the Security Bureau targeted the Wang family.

First, he deliberately raised the price of land in order to become a local tycoon. Secondly, several card masters of the Wang family committed murder and were protected by the Wang family. They were released only after their appearance was changed.

The most important point is that Lu Yan was not wrong in targeting the Wang family members before. The Wang family colluded with the evil organization earlier than the arrival of the precursor to the overlap of the card domain [space turbulence].

After Lu Yan killed the original Dimension Society killer, the Security Bureau conducted a more detailed investigation of the Wang family and found that they had no previous connection with the Dimension Society, but were related to another overseas evil sect, the [Destruction Society].

Well, it’s probably because the Destruction Society has been unable to fully develop into the Pulse Dragon Kingdom. Now the Wang family has hooked up with the Dimension Society, and I don’t know if they will continue to be in contact with the Destruction Society.

The Li family is different from the Wang family that is seeking its own destruction and the Lu family that is suddenly ruined because of having no backing. As branches of another big family, they know their position as local tyrants from outsiders and will not ask for more or less.

There may be some playboys, but as soon as they are caught, they will immediately distance themselves from the perpetrators.

"I see. I thought the Security Bureau was going to wipe out all three families and make them the sole heir apparent."

Lu Yan understood. On the other side, Li Xisheng, who was lying on the soft bed, was typing with a chuckle.

[It's not like the government is trying to wipe out the landlords, so the Hujiang City Security Bureau is pretty good.]

While chatting, Lamia opened her eyes, crawled into the bed and arched a small slope. Lu Yan's feet were stepping on the heels and calves of the mechanical girl, and his muscles were tense.

After getting up completely refreshed, Lu Yan stretched out his hand to the idle Jiang Jiu and said, "Sister Jiang, take me to get a complete set of evening clothes."

Jiang Jiu was right. He was not very interested in socializing, but he could not let Li Xisheng lose face no matter what. As the saying goes, clothes make the man.

"Okay,"

Grabbing the younger brother's hand, the store manager patted his butt and then patted his chest, "Leave it to me, I will definitely pick out a good set of clothes for you."

When they arrived at the suit shop, Lu Yan tried on several suits. Jiang Jiu nodded with satisfaction, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes from time to time.

"Well, clothes make the man, saddles make the horse, not bad, not bad, that's a bit of the point."

His charm is much stronger than before, making Jiang Jiu feel that he is very different. Coupled with the filter brought by good impression, he is even more handsome.

After buying two suits, he sent photos of the suit samples to Li Xisheng and asked her to give some comments. Seeing that she also liked the two black suits, he felt relieved.

After being targeted by the Security Bureau, the Wang family should be quiet for a while, at least until the end of the New Year before considering anything else. After all, most of the evil organizations owned by Lianmailong Country will have a holiday on New Year's Day.

There will be some who will try to disrupt peace during the New Year period, but such organizations will basically be attacked by everyone. No one wants to have a good vacation and have their rest time affected.

New Year's Eve is approaching, and the Li family's New Year's Eve party has officially arrived. The security guards who receive four times the salary are guarding the perimeter of the manor, always on guard against unsightly thieves or enemies who may want to sneak in.

Many luxury cars drove into the Li family's house, and there were also hovercrafts entering from the air entrance. At this time, Lu Yan was sitting upright next to Li Xisheng, glancing sideways at the Li family manor outside the window, and raised his hand to lightly press his tie to loosen it a little.

He had secretly visited the Wang family manor before, and the Li family manor was no less luxurious than the other one, revealing luxury in its low-key style.

This kind of luxury cannot be seen with the naked eye. He raised his hand and tried to sense the energy inside the car. A strange energy that was much deeper than that outside poured into his palm.

It is obvious that there are special devices in the manor to gather scattered energy, and it is at the manor level. The flowers, trees and buildings vaguely form a formation, making it easy for energy to gather and not easy to disperse.

He did not forget where his energy enrichment device came from.

The vehicle drove into the parking lot. The waiters on the passenger and driver's seats opened the rear doors. Lu Yan smoothed out the wrinkles on his suit and stood next to Li Xisheng.

Today the girl was no longer dressed for sports, but wore a black fishtail long skirt that highlighted her slender waist as much as possible. High heels reduced the height difference between her and Lu Yan, and she wore black lace gloves on her hands.

After putting on makeup and applying a little black on her eyebrows, eyes and lips, Li Xisheng became charming and more mature, no longer looking like a teenager.

"It always feels like you're on a battlefield."

Lu Yan stretched out his arm, and Li Xisheng took it, leaning in close. His fingertips brushed against his cheek, which was feeling a little uncomfortable. He raised his chin and put it close to Lu Yan's ear and said:

"The Li family is also a little unstable. I don't want to fight with my brother, so I went to the Magic City Card Master Academy. If you can become strong enough in the future, I will definitely choose to leave the Li family."

A family has limited resources. Even if the Wang family is destroyed, the Li family has no intention of surpassing the Security Bureau.

They are able to incorporate the Wang family's assets into the Li family, but the problem is that the Li family will definitely become the next Wang family, and they do not want to have this result.

What is important in modern society is not fighting and killing, but human relationships and social skills. There is no chaos in the current era, and it is not easy to cause chaos.

Chapter 165 A dinner that is too normal.

Holding Li Xisheng's arm and following the crowd towards the auditorium, the cold-faced boy and girl attracted a lot of people's attention. The Li family must be very familiar with Li Xisheng. The problem was Lu Yan beside her. Judging from the distance between them, they were more than just friends.

"Let's just say they have a good relationship. Maybe they've already..."

"No wonder. In this generation, apart from Lu Yan, only Wang Baitao is worthy of our Li family's pearl. The rest are from other cities."

"Don't mention it, a classmate from the Card Master Academy that Xisheng knows is here too..."

The voices of the crowd reached her ears. Li Xisheng, who was equipped with the [Heavenly Demon Magic Sound Sutra], could hear them and hugged her tighter. Lu Yan patted her arm and entered the auditorium with her.

The auditorium was full of guests. Lu Yan looked around and saw that not only the Li family members were there, but also the entrepreneurs under them, the card masters, and some of the friends brought back by their children who went to study at the Card Master Academy.

More eyes were focused on the two of them. He was guided by Li Xisheng to the front row. Li Chuang, who also brought a girl with him, waved to them with a very gentle expression and a smile.

His gentleness was not an act. He really had no hostility towards his sister. As a veteran in the world of women, Li Chuang could be sure that his sister, who threatened his position as the head of the family, would definitely get married in the future. Naturally, there was no need for hostility.

Building a good relationship with your brother-in-law might increase your chances of becoming the head of the family in the future.

"Long time no see, Lu Yan."

"Ah, Brother Chuang, long time no see, who is this?"

"My classmate at Jingling Card Master Academy..."

The three of them got to know each other after Li Chuang introduced them, but they had no intention of getting to know each other in depth. Not long after, other younger generations of the Li family also came to sit down. They were basically Li Xisheng's brothers and sisters with the same father and mother, or half brothers and sisters, as well as the guests and lovers they brought back.

As for the older generation, they naturally would not sit with them, but would secretly confront and compete with them. Lu Yan had already heard some of them talking about how their children were doing.

"Brother Yan,"

A child, about seven or eight years old, leaned over the table, stared at Lu Yan and asked curiously, "How much force did you use when you fought Wang Baitao?"

"About 60 to 70 percent."

Lu Yan answered sincerely and chatted with everyone. The atmosphere among the young people was relatively good compared to that among the adults, because they were all born to the same father. The only ones with a bad atmosphere were probably those who wanted to compete for the position of future head of the family.

"Oh, you guys are really strong, but my Xisheng has already been admitted to the Magic Card Master Academy, ranking 52nd in the entrance exam, and now he's risen to 42nd. Especially Lv Yan, who killed Wang Baitao earlier. Between them..."

An unexpected voice came, and Lu Yan turned around to see a group of noble ladies sitting there comparing themselves to each other. Li Xisheng lowered her head, a blush crossing her face: "That's my mother, and those around her are all aunts, uncles, or stepmothers."

"Want to go and ask?"

"No need, she'll probably call us over when the time comes."

People gradually arrived and the party started on time at eight o'clock. There were still several important seats in the front row empty. The head of the Li family, Li Xisheng's grandfather Li Wo and her parents were not present, and were probably still preparing backstage.

The lights dimmed, and a group of people sat at the main table. The first to take the stage was the Li family's host. He tapped the microphone to attract attention, then bowed to everyone:

"Welcome everyone to the Li family's New Year's Eve party. Today is New Year's Eve, and we've finally gathered together..."

"Anyway, let's ask Mr. Li to say a few words first."

The host invited Li Wo to the stage. The smiling old man walked onto the stage, emitting no energy at all. His hunched body was no taller than 1.5 meters. He took the microphone and stared at the family descendants below, feeling very satisfied.

"Thank you all for your efforts this year. I hope that next year, like this year, we can all get together and talk about what we have done this year..."

Why does it feel so templated?

Li Wo said a lot, but Lu Yan ignored it. The other Li family card masters showed their impatience, and several of the favored direct descendants raised their hands to disrupt it:

"Grandpa, stop talking and start!"

"Yes, Grandpa, let's get started!"

The parents cast stern looks at the troublemakers, and their spirits immediately darkened. Li Wo tapped the bamboo stick in his hand and chuckled softly:

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. Please enjoy the party. There are still four hours until New Year's Day."

Li Wo jumped off the stage and sat in the main chair. Soon the performance began on the stage, the lights came on, and everyone started toasting again.

The New Year's Eve party is not for watching performances, but for bonding and fulfilling contracts. Only young children will stay to eat and watch the performances.
