The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 1481: Chapter 1474: Undercurrents Surging

”Oh my god, these are all luxury car brands I’ve only seen online or in books! And there are so many I can’t even name...”

After getting out of the car, even the usually reserved and calm Nian Ziqi couldn’t help but widen her beautiful eyes in amazement.

Indeed, in the parking lot, if you actually counted, there were at least dozens of high-end luxury cars!

Not to mention all the other miscellaneous cars too.

Even if they’re not all here for the banquet today, it’s enough to dazzle a lot of people!

”Cousin, you don’t often attend such occasions, so it’s understandable that you can’t remember!”

Wang Zhijie, who followed them out of the car, smiled and said to Nian Ziqi, ”That one over there is a Koenigsegg... that’s an SSC... and there’s a Pagani...”

Wang Zhijie recognized these luxury cars at a glance, familiar enough to casually introduce them to Nian Ziqi.

”Xiao Jie, you’re amazing, you actually recognize all of them!”

Nian Ziqi’s eyes shone with admiration for Wang Zhijie.

After all, she was also a car enthusiast and wanted to learn about various car brands.

However, some of the more obscure luxury cars might not be found in books or online.

Even though there were aspects of Wang Zhijie she didn’t like, Nian Ziqi knew that when it came to social skills and knowledge, she needed to learn from Wang Zhijie.

”Lin Tian, are you interested in cars?”

Wang Zhijie turned to Lin Tian at this point, smiling as she asked.

”Uh... I don’t know much about cars, most of these are firsts for me!”

Lin Tian shrugged, replying somewhat helplessly.

He never paid any attention to so-called luxury cars.

Because to him, they were of no use.

It’s not just these cars, even planes didn’t hold much appeal.

Riding a sword through the sky, for him, was more comfortable and swift than any car or plane.

Though a car might be needed for getting around sometimes, practicality was the only concern, luxury or not, Lin Tian considered them all the same.

”In today’s world, a car might look like just a mode of transport, but it often represents a person’s status!”

Seeing that Lin Tian still appeared indifferent, Wang Zhijie slightly frowned, pointing at a sleek black sports car with advanced curves, saying, ”That’s a Bugatti Veyron! Do you know how much it costs? At least 50 million! Now you should have a concept!”

”Oh my God!”

Nian Ziqi exclaimed in shock, losing her composure again, ”This must be the highest-end luxury car! Even the profits from my family’s business don’t match a fraction of this car’s price!”

It’s no wonder Nian Ziqi was so startled, as a car enthusiast, she was incredibly excited to discuss this topic!

million?

Lin Tian was also taken aback; he didn’t have much concept of this figure.

But thinking back on spending a hundred million to acquire full ownership of the Deke Restaurant near University City, he understood that 50 million was no small amount.

The Deke Restaurant was a real treasure trove, with significant value!

But to think a single car could cost 50 million, it was certainly expensive!

So, in the end, he nodded and sighed softly, ”Indeed, that’s a lot of money! Not something ordinary people can afford!”

Seeing Lin Tian’s response, Wang Zhijie was finally satisfied with a gentle nod.

She felt like Lin Tian had come to realize what disparity truly meant!

Then she said, ”My classmates and friends often drive cars like these, although supported and helped by their families, that’s also a personal innate advantage! So, like you and my cousin, while my parents can help you, it’s limited, and you need to work even harder!”

Nian Ziqi didn’t argue with these words, nodding with pursed lips.

In a small city like Mizhou City, the industry my parents and family struggle to build was achieved through countless amounts of sweat and toil.

She understood that just as her cousin Wang Zhijie said, she needed to work twice as hard!

”In life, happiness is the most important! Some things, you can never finish doing...”

Lin Tian, however, just smiled non-committally.

How naïve!

Listening to Lin Tian’s words, Wang Zhijie could hardly resist giving him a slap to wake him up.

She felt she had been explaining for ages, but Lin Tian showed no surprise, which drove her crazy!

Her connections with the various heirs and heiresses in Yanjing had been one of her bragging rights, yet Lin Tian had no reaction, still as calm as a breeze, nearly driving her to an outburst!

”Xiao Jie, maybe that’s just Lin Tian’s life philosophy!”

Nian Ziqi saw Wang Zhijie with a sullen face again and quickly intervened, then turned to Lin Tian and said, ”Lin Tian, I think my cousin means for the sake of our family, we should strive even harder! And our perspective deepens as we see more of the world, which in turn motivates us to work harder! The phrase ’frog at the bottom of a well’ is the most apt description...”

”Exactly! Being able to enter Baiziwan Wetland Manor this time is a dream for many people, something they can’t even achieve. It’s something to cherish! As for your friend, hopefully they’re not making things up... Anyway, now that you’re here, make sure you pay attention later!”

Wang Zhijie was satisfied with Nian Ziqi’s response and once again gave advice to Lin Tian.

It’s clear she’s been through many of these high-society events, making it all seem very familiar!

”Haha... It’s fine, just relax! Not all these luxury cars are for the banquet, most belong to members of Baiziwan!”

Wang Jiahe and Song Zhi also got out of the car, and Wang Jiahe approached Lin Tian, smiling lightly, ”Just come with us and feel free!”

”Thank you, Uncle Wang! But if my friend arrives later, I’ll need to step out for a bit!”

Lin Tian had a very good impression of Wang Jiahe and nodded in response.

”Of course!”

Wang Jiahe replied with a smile, ”Come, let’s go together! Actually, not many are attending the banquet this time, mostly managers of various industries under Baiziwan and some major figures from Yanjing who are deeply involved with Baiziwan...”

At Baiziwan Manor, the largest villa has an outdoor banquet hall.

At this moment.

At the entrance to the outdoor hall, people of all sorts were arriving, the men in well-fitted suits, and the women adorned with shining jewelry, all highlighting their extraordinary social status.

But when these people arrived, their steps were light, their faces carrying an air of solemnity, cautious not to show open smiles.

Following Wang Jiahe, Lin Tian looked around, noticing that in many hidden corners of the manor, there were numerous presences filled with a murderous aura.

”Baiziwan, as mentioned earlier by Mo Jiwu, is supposed to be one of the Ten Dominators of the Underworld, on par with the Changxin Association! It’s really a choice for the likes of Xuelu Inn and Nanming Cave to meet here! I wonder if Qin Shu and the others have arrived...”

Lin Tian retracted his gaze, pondering silently.

Soon.

The group reached the entrance to the outdoor hall.

In front, Wang Jiahe stopped his steps.

”Mr. Hee, President Tan... you just arrived too!”

Wang Jiahe stepped forward to greet a few others coming from the side.

”Mr. Wang is here too!”

The group facing them returned the greetings politely.

”What’s the situation with Mr. He, any news?”

Wang Jiahe quickly inquired to one of them.

With this question, the faces of the few newcomers turned grim, becoming extremely unsightly.

”We’ve just arrived too, so we’re not sure about specific news! However, the Martial World is truly full of undercurrents right now! If Mr. He can’t hold on, without a central pillar, I’m afraid the Qinghe Association and Hokkaido might seize the chance to strike at us! Then our peripheral companies and industries would all bleed heavily!”

President Tan sighed and shook his head, speaking softly to Wang Jiahe, ”And it’s not just us, there’s even a rumor in Yanjing that the terrorizing giant families at the top can’t sit still, with talk that other families are preparing to move against the declining Lin Family...”
