Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 934: Chapter 961: Has the Holy War Angel Fallen?

”Oh?!”

Jia Zhenjing raised an eyebrow with interest, looked at him, took a gentle sip of the now slightly cool tea, and said with a smile, ”So, what did you hear?”

Lin Zifeng stared into his eyes for a long moment.

In his view, although he had known Jia Zhenjing for quite some time now, and their relationship had always been quite good.

At first, Lin Zifeng even truly believed in him as the old security guard who had worked at Tianyu for fifteen years. Coupled with his sleazy personality, it was really hard to imagine he was actually the Dark Angel.

Even now, sitting right in front of him, Lin Zifeng still felt a sense of surrealism.

”Hehe.” Lin Zifeng chuckled bitterly twice, smiling as he looked at him, ”Brother Jia, just as you asked, as for what I heard, I don’t think I need to answer you. As long as I produce the news of you and Nangong Shui together that night, I think that should be enough, right?”

That night when Jia Zhenjing and Nangong Shui were together, although they were quite far away, Lin Zifeng returned due to his doubts at the time, but through lip-reading, he could still guess a few things about what they talked about.

Lin Zifeng could only guess a bit.

”Furthermore, no matter how well you disguise yourself, you still cannot escape my eyes!”

Lin Zifeng’s eyes turned slightly red, as the black pupils gradually became somewhat crimson. He appeared exceedingly strange.

Under Lin Zifeng’s gaze, the muscles on Jia Zhenjing’s face, who had been listening to various analyses, finally twitched twice.

He grinned, continuing to savor the tea.

”Since you already know my identity, you’ve come here to confirm it, haven’t you?”

”Yes.” Lin Zifeng nodded.

”And do you know that by exposing my identity, your life could be crushed by me at any moment? Aren’t you afraid of dying?”

”If Brother Jia truly wanted to kill me, I suppose you wouldn’t have saved me before, like at Dragon City’s Mu Family, where you once saved me. If you really wanted my life, it would take you no effort at all.” Lin Zifeng explained word by word.

”Back on the Mountain and River List, if you hadn’t appeared in time, I might have been killed by the Ao Family Elder, so I can be sure that Brother Jia, you wouldn’t harm me.”

”Your analysis is spot on, but since you unveiled my identity in front of me today, are you truly not afraid of dying?”

Having said that, a glint of cold murderous intent flickered across Jia Zhenjing’s cold eyes.

”Afraid, of course I am afraid of dying. Who in this world isn’t afraid of dying?” Lin Zifeng gave a helpless, bitter smile, continuing, ”Even if it means dying, I hope to die clearly, not die in confusion.”

”Why did you reveal my identity, what are you after?”

”I want to know about my parents’ news. Five years ago, during the Blazing Angel’s Greece Wilderness dispute, when Nangong Shui returned, he talked to me about the secrets of the Blazing Angel. If my guessing is correct, Nangong Shui should also be a member of the Angels. I think my parents should also be among the Blazing Angels. Please tell me, are my parents alive or dead!”

When it came to his parents, Lin Zifeng’s emotions became especially agitated.

From five years ago when Lin Zifeng left his homeland to set out on the quest to find his parents.

However, despite the years that passed, though he hadn’t found his parents, Lin Zifeng would never dismiss any news regarding them.

The five years of wartime training allowed him, Lin Zifeng, to still stand today and not die. More so the expectation of family members lingered in his heart.

This was also why he broke his plans so early, sought out Jia Zhenjing, and uncovered his identity; he absolutely could not bear the yearning for his family, waking up from dream after dream, his face always wet with tears.

Upon mentioning his parents, the expression on Jia Zhenjing’s face suddenly darkened.

He then gave a bitter smile and said, ”It would be best if you didn’t know, perhaps keep it as an expectation for you, because once you have no expectations left, even your sweet dreams will be bitter.”

Whoosh—

Jia Zhenjing stood up, ”Kid, I promised your parents back in the day that if you ever needed help, I could fulfill three wishes for you, of course, these three wishes must be within my capabilities. Beyond that, nothing more to discuss. Whenever you figure things out, come find me. Also, your cultivation is far too low, even if you knew your parents’ whereabouts, what could you do? It’s better to live on with that sense of expectation.”

...

It wasn’t until after Jia Zhenjing had left for quite some time that Lin Zifeng finally reacted.

However, his eyes were already moist.

The answer he sought had been confirmed, just as Old Jia had said.

If even the last shred of hope is gone, even in his dreams, they may never be complete.

”Could it be my parents have already died? How could they be dead? They were also members of the Blazing Angel, and so powerful at that. Why did others survive, but they are gone? Why! Why did they die!!!”

Lin Zifeng clenched his fists tightly, his heart roaring in anguish.

This fact was not what he wanted, five years of dreams, broken in a single day. He got the answer he least wanted, yet it was such a cold, cruel reality...

...

After leaving the tea room, Jia Zhenjing paused his steps and glanced back.

Sighing internally.

”Holy War, I’m sorry. I can only help him fulfill three wishes according to your instructions, the rest of the path he needs to walk on his own. I’ve helped as much as I can. Rest assured.”

After speaking, Jia Zhenjing shook his head with a sigh, his forlorn silhouette gradually disappeared within the tea room.

However, just upon arriving at Tianyu Company, news from the security department announced Jia Zhenjing’s resignation.

Instantly, the entire security department was in an uproar, no one understood why this old security guard of fifteen years at Tianyu would just leave, even Zheng Liang, who always had a strong bond with him, couldn’t stop him.

No one knew the reason why this old security guard just left like that.

Even Nangong Bing was shocked, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but this fellow had already vanished without a trace.

As Lin Zifeng continued sitting quietly in the tea room, at this moment, his mood was extremely restless, people around him leaving one by one, even his longed-for parents seemed to have abandoned him.

This was not what he desired at all.

When one’s original dreams are shattered, living is merely like a walking corpse.

Having hoped fervently for five years, though he acted as if nothing had happened on the surface, and even upon returning, kept consoling himself that it was just gone. Perhaps it could never go back to how it was before.

However, his inner world could never let go of the thought of finding his parents.
