The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Returning to Familiar Grounds

Lin Tian’s bright eyes narrowed slightly, pondering, ”Do you know why your plans keep failing?”

”Why?” Wang Sicong was also very puzzled. He had used shady methods many times, but this was the first time he had failed so many times in front of one person.

Lin Tian said flatly, ”Because I’m just a loser. When we first met, you asked me to go to such a luxurious hotel with beautiful women. Weren’t you too eager to build a relationship with me? Do you think I wouldn’t get suspicious? Actually, dealing with me is simple—be a little more sincere, like Meng Nan and Li, and wait for the right moment to make a move. Success would be a hundred percent guaranteed. Unfortunately, you no longer have that chance.”

Wang Sicong’s face turned somber after hearing this, ”You mean inviting you to a luxurious suite and letting you sleep with the most beautiful woman isn’t sincere enough?”

Lin Tian shook his head lightly, ”Is this your idea of sincerity?”

Wang Sicong nodded noncommittally, ”That’s how I am with my friends—a meal, and our relationship gets really good.”

”Heh.” Lin Tian chuckled lightly, ”Looks like all you have is money. Trying to make genuine friends this way is just naive, isn’t it? Have you ever thought about what your friends would do if the Wang Family fell?”

”Impossible!” Wang Sicong shouted, unconsciously clenching his fists, ”How could the Wang Family fall?”

”Face reality; you just saw the news. If I apply more pressure, it really will fall.”

Lin Tian stood up and waved to Wu Yong, ”Let’s go.”

Everything Wang Sicong knew had already been said; there was no reason to stay here any longer.

Wang Sicong stood up excitedly, ”Lin Tian! What will it take for you to let me go back?”

”The day after tomorrow is the day I negotiate with the Wang Family. I’ll take you there. If you want to ensure your safety, you’d better pray you hold a high enough status in the Wang Family.”

Having said that, Lin Tian strode out.

Wang Sicong went mad, charging at Lin Tian, trying to rush out of the iron door to gain his freedom.

But how could Lin Tian let him have his way? Hearing footsteps, Lin Tian turned back unhurriedly, drew half a circle with his right foot to lean forward, then put his hands on Wang Sicong’s shoulders and pushed forward with Spiritual Qi. Wang Sicong was pushed back onto the sofa.

”You’d best not struggle too much; you know you’re no match for me. If you behave, I’ll have someone bring you some cigarettes in the next two days.”

With that, Lin Tian crossed the iron threshold and left. Wu Yong closed and locked the iron gate again.

Wu Yong pocketed the keys and asked, ”Brother Tian, I heard that kid mention the Ancient Martial Wang Family being really powerful. Could there be any trouble?”

Lin Tian’s narrow eyes squinted slightly, smiling at Wu Yong, ”Haven’t you heard an old saying, ’No matter how high your martial skills are, you’re still afraid of a kitchen knife!’ Moreover, you’ve got a gun. What if the Wang Family can fight?”

Wu Yong nodded thoughtfully, ”True, if anyone dares to give me trouble, I’ll hit his little brother first, then his head.”

Lin Tian felt deeply about Wu Yong’s ’carefreeness’ and said crossly, ”Stop being so smug, you should still learn what needs learning, and you must get through Tian Ming’s training.”

Recalling Tian Ming’s devil training, Wu Yong’s proud face drooped again.

Then, Lin Tian drove back to Black Gold Security Company with Wu Yong.

This was the home base for the two brothers. The whole building used to be rented, but after being seized by the police, the landlord was in a hurry to sell it. Wu Yong bought it at a bargain price.

Although Bai Shishi was once the underground emperor, the Bai Family is now under attack, and she’s busy cleaning up her act.

After Du Dahai’s forces were uprooted, the entire underground market of Kanyue City was under Wu Yong’s control, and it’s keeping him busy.

Lin Tian, on the other hand, acted like a boss who delegates everything. He returned to his room. Although it had been a few days since he’d been there, the room was still very clean.

Lin Tian lay on the bed and called Chen Moxiang to learn more about the Ancient Martial Wang Family.

But Chen Moxiang’s phone was turned off. Lin Tian was momentarily stupefied, then realized she was probably on a mission. As the captain of the Special Operations Team at the Security Management Institute, she’s indeed very busy and could be anywhere hunting down enemies of the state.

Feeling bored, Lin Tian put his phone aside, sat on the bed, and began practicing the ”Tyrant Emperor’s Record”.

The injuries from a few days ago had already healed, so there was no need to use Spiritual Qi to nourish bones and organs. He continued condensing Spiritual Qi into a solid state, charging through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

The cultivation lasted for two days straight. During those two days, Lin Tian just sat there without eating, drinking, or sleeping, entering a mystical state until he finally exited the cultivation state.

Lin Tian picked up the phone beside him, only to find it had long since died. He had no choice but to charge it while turning it on.

He found several missed calls, from Liou Qingcheng, Bai Shishi, and Mei Ruyan, and sighed as he returned each call.

When he got through to Bai Shishi, her anxious voice came from the phone, ”Where the hell have you been, you bastard? Come to the Bai Family quickly, and bring Wang Sicong with you.”

Lin Tian smiled wryly, the barrage of questions came so fast he couldn’t respond.

Once Bai Shishi finished, Lin Tian finally had the chance to reply, ”I’m at Wu Yong’s place. I’ll be right over.”

”You’re at Wu Yong’s?”

”Yeah.”

”Then why did he say he didn’t know where you were? Are you two hiding something from me?”

Lin Tian was sweating all over his head, ”What could we possibly be hiding from you, we’re both men!”

”That’s exactly why there might be an unspeakable secret. Alright, stop dawdling, bring him over quickly.”

”Miss Bai, I have another question. Since this is about negotiating with the Wang Family, why go to the Bai Family now?”

”My dad wants to see you, just come quickly.”

The call ended, and Lin Tian smiled bitterly, unsure if meeting Bai Tianlong was a good or bad thing.

Putting away the phone, Lin Tian found Wu Yong, explained the situation again, and then took Wang Sicong to the Bai Family at Wangfu Village on the outskirts of Kanyue City.

The excitement of driving had worn off for Lin Tian, but with Wang Sicong in the car, he was worried about trouble along the way, and Wu Yong didn’t know the way, so Lin Tian played chauffeur. Wu Yong kept an eye on Wang Sicong in the back to prevent him from trying to jump out.

Parking in front of the Bai Family’s gate, Lin Tian got out, stood by the blue Porsche, and looked at the three-story villa, pausing as memories of events inside flashed in his mind.

He had been here only twice, but each visit left a deep impression.
