Chapter 628: Heard It

“Everything has changed.”

“The population density is much lower now,” Luo Feng said as he flew high in the sky, gazing down at the city below.

There were almost no grain farming areas left on Earth. Most of the land was occupied by human settlements. The suburbs and city constructions were beautifully designed. The sky was clear and blue, and the ground was shaded by lush green trees. Even in the most prosperous cities, skyscrapers were rare, except for a few historically significant ones.

“Your Highness, which area did you live in back then?” Dylan asked with a smile.

“That one!” Luo Feng pointed to a distant, bustling metropolis. “Yangzhou, one of the eight satellite cities of the Jiangnan Base City. The name remains the same, but the entire city has changed dramatically.”

Yangzhou was now one of the most famous cities on Earth. Its permanent population alone reached twenty million. With the addition of countless tourists and admirers from around the world who followed Luo Feng’s footsteps, Yangzhou had become extremely prosperous. During Earth’s massive urban transformation, Yangzhou’s status had risen to rival that of the Jiangnan Base City.

Yangzhou was also the city where the Luo family’s ancestral home was located.

“Dylan, you should change your appearance slightly when we land,” Luo Feng said, glancing at the bald, black-robed man beside him. “You clearly don’t look like an Earthling. It would draw too much attention.”

“Understood,” Dylan nodded. His immortal energy surged, and his face and body seemed to ripple like flowing water. Soon, he transformed into an ordinary bald man with yellow skin, indistinguishable from normal Earthlings. Even his clothing had changed into a common casual outfit.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Luo Feng and Dylan swiftly dove downward. Without triggering any city alarms, they silently landed on a street in Yangzhou.

“This was the high school I attended back then.”

“This street I used to pass by often is still preserved in its original state.”

“And there is the low-income housing unit where I lived for a long time.”

As they walked, Luo Feng and Dylan reminisced about events from over two hundred years ago. As a cosmic warrior, Luo Feng had an extraordinary memory, even recalling details from his infancy.

“This place is really lively,” Dylan pointed toward a vast martial arts academy in the distance.

“That’s where I trained,” Luo Feng smiled. “Back then, I was just one of its students.”

“Your Highness trained there in the past, and now you are the Lord of the Milky Way. No wonder this academy is so bustling,” Dylan nodded with a smile. Luo Feng then pointed to a nearby restaurant. “Let’s go eat there. I didn’t expect this restaurant to still exist after two hundred years.”

Wearing a pair of sunglasses, Luo Feng and Dylan entered the restaurant directly.

…

Inside the restaurant,

Luo Feng and Dylan noticed that a crowd had gathered, all watching something with great interest.

“The locals’ habit of gathering to watch spectacles hasn’t changed at all,” Luo Feng smiled. He walked to a corner of the restaurant to see what was happening inside.

Inside the restaurant, the scene was chaotic.

Tables, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks were shattered and overturned. A slightly overweight youth with yellow hair stood with four bodyguards in black behind him. Another youth in martial arts attire stood protectively in front of a girl.

“Yan the Fat, don’t act like you’re someone important just because you have a few feathers,” the martial arts youth wiped blood from the corner of his mouth, pointing angrily at the overweight youth. “You just want to clear the place out, right? Fine, go ahead and clear it, but why specifically target me, Yang Zhi? Are you trying to take advantage of your boss’s bodyguards to cripple me?”

“I’m not targeting you. Who asked you to disrespect my boss?” the yellow-haired youth sneered. “Now get lost!”

In his heart, he thought… Yang Zhi’s progress is truly rapid. He actually managed to withstand an attack from the boss’s bodyguard without being crippled.

“Ugh.” The martial arts youth’s blood surged, and he couldn’t help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

“Ah Zhi, Ah Zhi,” the girl hurriedly supported the martial arts youth, “are you okay? Are you alright?”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine,” the martial arts youth muttered, glancing at the yellow-haired youth. “If I hadn’t just broken through, I might have been crippled just now. But now that I’m downstairs in public, in Yangzhou City, this Yan the Fat is just a lackey. He doesn’t dare to do anything reckless.”

The yellow-haired youth shouted coldly, “Boss! Boss! I said to clear the place out. Why haven’t you gotten this kid to leave yet?”

A thin young man, the restaurant owner, hurriedly stepped forward with an apologetic smile.

“Yan Huan!” the girl behind the martial arts youth angrily pointed at the yellow-haired youth. “My brother is coming soon. Don’t get too arrogant.”

“Make way!”

A group of police officers dashed in like shadows, quickly separating the crowd. Dozens of officers swiftly occupied key positions in the restaurant.

Luo Feng, standing in the corner, couldn’t help but grin.

Police?

The police on Earth now appeared to be at least of Battle-Marshal level. Indeed, nowadays, even the weakest individuals on Earth were at least Warrior level.

“Who is causing trouble?” The leader of the police, a burly man, scanned the scene.

“Brother!” The girl seemed to see a savior and shouted.

“Little sister,” the burly man checked his sister for injuries and relaxed slightly. However, seeing the martial arts youth beside her, pale-faced and with bloodstains on his clothes, his expression changed. “Brother Yang, what happened?”

“Brother, this Yan the Fat brought people to clear the place for his boss. We didn’t want to provoke his boss, so we were preparing to leave. But Yan the Fat specifically targeted Ah Zhi, deliberately picking a fight and even letting one of his bodyguards attack him… Fortunately, Ah Zhi managed to rush downstairs. In such a public place with heavy foot traffic outside, they didn’t dare to do anything too extreme. If it had been upstairs, I’m afraid… ” Tears welled up in the girl’s eyes.

The burly man turned his gaze toward the yellow-haired youth.

The yellow-haired youth smiled, standing behind him with four black-clad bodyguards, smiling at the burly man.

“Sergeant Wang,” the yellow-haired youth smiled.

“Yan Huan, show some restraint. This is Yangzhou City! If things escalate, no one can protect you,” the burly man growled.

The yellow-haired youth smiled. “Right, this is Yangzhou City, the Luo family’s Yangzhou City! Not just Yangzhou City, the entire Milky Way belongs to the Luo family… In this place, if you offend the Luo family, no one can protect you.”

The group of police officers fell silent.

The burly police captain stared at the yellow-haired youth, then growled, “Little sister, let’s go.” He reached out to support the martial arts youth.

“Hmph.”

The yellow-haired youth smiled as he watched the scene.

In the corner of the restaurant.

“It seems related to your family,” Dylan glanced at Luo Feng with a smile.

Luo Feng also smiled. “It seems so.”

Suddenly, a commotion came from outside. The large crowd that had been blocking the entrance quickly scattered. A suppressed voice was heard: “It’s the spaceship of that Luo family genius.” Outside the restaurant, a deep blue spaceship, about thirty meters in diameter, slowly descended. As it descended, black-uniformed bodyguards jumped out one by one, quickly surrounding and protecting the restaurant.

“The boss is here,” the yellow-haired youth’s expression changed. His hands moved like shadows, quickly picking up the broken tables, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks.

“Hurry up and clean up the mess,” the yellow-haired youth barked at those around him.

Instantly—

The four black-clad bodyguards behind him, along with the group of waiters, quickly began cleaning up the mess. Within just over ten seconds, the entire first floor of the restaurant was cleared. New carpets were laid out just in time as the spaceship outside opened its hatch. A curly-haired, slightly chubby teenager stepped out, followed by a girl in a purple dress with a stunning figure.

Luo Yanchang glanced around.

Many people in the crowd were watching him with excitement.

“That’s the Luo family genius, Young Master Luo Yanchang.”

“It’s Young Master Luo Yanchang.”

“Look, his eyebrows look just like Lord Luo Feng’s.”

“Right.”

“I came to Yangzhou for tourism, and this is my first time seeing a member of the Luo family.”

The crowd was completely stirred up.

Luo Yanchang remained calm. As a member of the Luo family, the ruling family of the Milky Way, and due to Luo Feng’s influence, even the royal families of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire treated them with utmost respect and dared not offend them. Other minor cosmic civilizations were even more eager to flatter the Luo family like treating them as honored guests.

Although they had not established a kingdom or claimed royal status, in the eyes of Earthlings, the Luo family, as Lords of the Milky Way, were essentially royalty.

A family that had only been in existence for a little over two hundred years since Luo Feng’s time, compared to royal families that had existed for at least a million years, the Luo family had far fewer members. The male members of the family numbered only in the hundreds. Therefore, seeing a member of the Luo family in person was a rare and exciting event.

“Nana, let’s go in,” Luo Yanchang smiled at the girl.

“I’ve been looking forward to this. I heard this restaurant has existed since the Great Nirvana era,” the enchanting maiden exclaimed with sparkling eyes.

Luo Yanchang smiled and nodded.

The two walked in together.

Inside the restaurant,

The group of police officers hadn’t managed to leave in time and were still inside.

“Young Master Luo,” the officers hurriedly saluted respectfully, including the police captain. Their salutes were genuine. Although the Luo family wielded immense power, they had almost no scandals on Earth, only some minor issues. After all, the legendary head of the family, ‘Luo Feng,’ had strict requirements for family members.

“Mm,” Luo Yanchang smiled slightly.

Then his gaze swept the restaurant, and he couldn’t help but frown slightly because he noticed some lingering signs of the earlier fight.

“Boss,” the yellow-haired youth quickly ran over.

“Hmph,” Luo Yanchang’s eyes flashed with a trace of anger, causing the yellow-haired youth to force a smile.

Yan Huan was Luo Yanchang’s classmate. Since they were both somewhat overweight and Yan Huan was good at flattering, Luo Yanchang had become friends with him.

Luo Yanchang noticed the martial arts youth beside him, who still had bloodstains on his clothes, and smiled, “Yang Zhi, are you alright?”

“I’m fine, Young Master Luo,” the martial arts youth replied quickly.

“Mm,” Luo Yanchang nodded.

“Everyone, leave,” Luo Yanchang ordered.

Immediately, the group of police officers, the martial arts youth, the girl, and some customers who hadn’t managed to leave quickly exited. They thought it was perfectly normal for Luo Yanchang to give such an order. Regardless of anything else, Luo Yanchang himself was already a Star-Level warrior!

Inside the restaurant.

“Last time I told you to teach him a lesson, but you should have chosen a better time and place,” Luo Yanchang coldly glanced at the yellow-haired youth and transmitted his voice. “Don’t disgrace me with your actions. Do you understand?”

“Yes, Boss,” the yellow-haired youth replied hastily.

Luo Yanchang suddenly shivered, his expression changed, and he turned his head toward the corner of the restaurant, his eyes revealing a trace of shock… Because just now, he had clearly ordered everyone else to leave, and he had sensed that they had indeed left. Yet those two figures standing in the restaurant’s corner had completely escaped his awareness, as if they were mere air.

“This young fellow seems pretty ruthless. He acts one way in public and another behind the scenes. Heh heh, in the universe, this kind of personality might at least ensure a long life. But it’s not like your personality at all. Is he really from your Luo family?” Dylan asked.

“Yes, he is indeed from my Luo family. His name is Luo Yanchang. He is my eighth-generation descendant,” Luo Feng was explaining to Dylan.

Noticing Luo Yanchang’s gaze turning toward them.

Luo Feng then removed his sunglasses and slightly adjusted his facial features, looking directly at Luo Yanchang.

“Ahh.”

Luo Yanchang’s face instantly turned pale, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
