Chapter 226: The Phone Call

In the battle of Mist Island, the Huaxia nation gained quite a lot. However, the Mu Ya crystal is definitely a supreme treasure—no one would ever say they have too much of it! When the news spread that Luo Feng had arrived at the Kyoto Base City, the Huaxia leadership immediately sprang into action. As for Luo Feng himself, he quietly traveled in an ordinary sedan with his family to visit his great-aunt.

Within a residential community.

Ding-dong, ding-dong.

The four of them stood at the gate of a row house, with Luo Feng’s father, Luo Hongguo, pressing the doorbell.

“You guys don’t need to ring the bell anymore. No one’s home. The old lady of the house is in the hospital, and her son and daughter-in-law have all gone to take care of her,” an elderly man walking his dog shouted.

“Oh?”

Luo Feng spread his mental power outward, scanning the house. Indeed, there was no one inside.

“Excuse me, sir, which hospital are they at?” Luo Feng asked.

“Definitely the First People’s Hospital of Tianjin City,” the old man replied. “The Tang family is wealthy enough—of course they wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

The four of them sat inside the sedan—three in the back seat and one in the front passenger seat.

“My younger sister’s family lives quite comfortably, living in a villa. It’s much better than our old place,” Luo Hongguo said with a smile. “Now I can finally rest easy.”

“The grandson and granddaughter of Great-Aunt’s household were very smart when they were young, excelling academically. They entered Kyoto University at fifteen. Now they work at a national key research institute, and the villa was allocated by the institute,” Luo Feng explained. These were all details from the information previously sent by Liu Yan.

Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan both smiled: “So clever! Just like our own child.”

Luo Feng and Luo Hua exchanged glances.

“Wa gaga! That’s what you call talent!” Ba Bata’s hearty laughter echoed from within the wrist device as he luxuriated in a spacious bathtub. “Luo Feng, judging by this, your expansive brain domain is probably inherited from your Luo family lineage. Among the four descendants born after the Great Nirvana who carry the Luo bloodline, every single one is remarkably exceptional.”

“You’re an exception, of course. Your younger brother is also very smart, purely self-taught, and already so good at stock trading. The grandson and granddaughter of Great-Aunt Luo Hongqin also inherited a bit of her bloodline, so they’re smart too.”

“People with wide brain domains are naturally intelligent,” Ba Bata continued. “Of course, none of them are as strong as you… hahaha…”

Outside a VIP ward in the First People’s Hospital of Tianjin City—one of the eight satellite cities of the Kyoto Base.

Inside the room, an elderly woman with white hair lay on the bed, her face pale and lifeless. On the nearby sofa, a middle-aged couple lay asleep. A young man and woman stood beside the bed, chatting with the elderly woman.

“Who are you?” The young woman turned around, puzzled.

At the doorway stood Luo Feng’s family.

Luo Hongguo walked forward, looking at the elderly woman on the bed, his breath quickening. The elderly woman looked at him with slight confusion at first, but her expression gradually changed. She became visibly excited: “You… you are…” This startled the middle-aged couple on the sofa, who immediately sat up.

“Mom, what’s wrong?” They both rushed over.

“Who are you?” The man asked Luo Hongguo, somewhat warily.

“You must be Tang Cheng,” Luo Hongguo looked at the man. “It’s been so long… you’ve aged.”

“Who are you?” Tang Cheng looked at him, puzzled.

Luo Hongguo couldn’t help shedding tears of excitement. He looked at the elderly woman, who was now struggling to sit up, carefully examining Luo Hongguo. “You’re… Hongguo?” she asked.

“Yes, it’s me, Hongguo!” Luo Hongguo became emotional. “Little Aunt, I didn’t expect you’d still recognize me.”

“It really is Hongguo! You look almost exactly like your father, especially the mouth…” The elderly woman excitedly reached out her thin, bony hand to grab Luo Hongguo’s. “Hongguo, you’re still alive. I never thought I’d get to see you again before I die.”

“Are you my cousin?” The middle-aged man looked at Luo Hongguo in shock.

“Yes,” Luo Hongguo nodded eagerly.

“By the gods, more than four decades have passed! Cousin! Cousin!!!” Tang Cheng’s voice trembled with overwhelming emotion. The Great Cataclysm had torn countless families asunder, scattering survivors to the winds. In those dark days, all routes of travel and means of communication lay severed, while countless national archives vanished into oblivion.

“I recognized you the moment I saw you,” the elderly woman said joyfully. “You look just like your father. Hongguo, where are your parents now?”

Luo Hongguo shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, the elderly woman sighed softly.

“Xiao Feng, Xiao Hua, come over,” Luo Hongguo waved, then turned to the elderly woman. “Little Aunt, these are my two sons.”

“Back then, you were just a little boy, and now you have two sons of your own, and they’re already grown up. Come, let me have a good look at them,” the elderly woman said, trying to open her eyes wider. Luo Feng and Luo Hua walked to the bedside, and she carefully examined them. “Good, they’re both handsome, looking just like the old Luo family!”

“Yongqing, Yongyuan, Xiao Feng, Xiao Hua, come over. You four should chat a bit,” the elderly woman eagerly called out.

Peng!

The door was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang, startling everyone in the room. They all turned their heads in annoyance. Three people entered the room: a young man with cold, sinister eyes, followed by two burly bodyguards. At the sight of them, the elderly woman’s family immediately changed expressions.

“What are you doing here!” Yongqing, the elderly woman’s granddaughter, stepped forward angrily.

“I’m just here to remind you, you have three more days to make your choice!” The cold-eyed youth glared at Yongqing. “Yongqing, you know my temper!”

“You, you’d better leave now,” Yongqing urged.

Yongyuan, her younger brother, stepped forward and angrily pointed at the youth. “Wang Xing’an! Don’t push too hard. Both my sister and I are first-class researchers at the institute. You…”

“Rubbish!”

The cold-eyed youth shot Yongyuan a chilling glare. “I don’t even respect your institute. Don’t think I won’t touch you just because of your sister. I’m giving your sister three more days… If she still refuses me after that, not only will she suffer, but you, who have insulted me three times, will also be dealt with!”

“Three days…” Wang Xing’an raised three fingers toward Yongqing, his expression twisted with a sinister smile. “Only three days left… My beautiful Yongqing, I truly don’t want to see such a beautiful flower wither away!”

Yongyuan was trembling with anger.

“Yongqing, what’s going on?” The middle-aged couple nearby asked anxiously.

“Dad, it’s okay,” Yongqing quickly reassured them.

“Old man, listen carefully,” Wang Xing’an turned to Tang Cheng with a smile. “If your daughter agrees to be my woman within three days, your whole family will live comfortably. Otherwise… I’ll send your entire family to hell! Your fate is now in Yongqing’s hands… hahaha…”

Luo Feng stood aside, calmly watching the scene unfold. Luo Hua looked at Luo Feng.

“Brother?”

“Don’t rush. Let’s see what he’s up to,” Luo Feng said calmly.

Luo Hua nodded.

Tang Cheng and his wife were still completely confused. The elderly woman on the bed sat up and shouted anxiously, “Yongqing, who is this person exactly? What’s going on?”

“Wang Xing’an, you already have so many women. Why are you still harassing my sister!” Yongyuan shouted angrily.

“I don’t have many hobbies. My hobby is collecting women of different flavors,” Wang Xing’an grinned with a sinister gleam in his eyes. “Take a look at your sister… Tsk tsk, she’s already an 85 in looks, and that scholarly aura adds at least another 20 points. A perfect score, utterly enchanting. She’s the only piece missing from my collection. Yongqing, if you resist, you know the consequences.”

“There’s a saying: If you can’t resist, just close your eyes and enjoy it,” Wang Xing’an’s smile widened. “I really don’t want to destroy you with my own hands. You know, I was heartbroken every time I destroyed those women who resisted me!” He added, dramatically clutching his chest.

“You pervert!” Yongyuan shouted.

“You’ll never comprehend my thoughts,” Wang Xing’an gazed down at Yongyuan with a lofty, pitying look. “This fury of yours… tsk tsk, to me, you’re nothing but an ant.” He then turned to Yongqing, his expression softening into melancholy. “Yongqing, we were so perfect together in the beginning. Wouldn’t it be better if we just loved each other? Why push me to resort to harsh measures? I truly despise using force.”

Yongqing bit her lip.

Clap! Clap!

Clapping echoed through the room.

Everyone in the ward turned in confusion, including Wang Xing’an and his two henchmen. They saw Luo Feng, dressed in a black casual shirt, clapping his hands lightly and smiling at Wang Xing’an.

“I really don’t like it when someone tries to act cool in front of me,” Wang Xing’an slightly raised his chin, his gaze as cold and venomous as a snake. “He clapped. Go break both his hands, Number Two.”

“Got it.”

One of the burly men grinned sinisterly.

“Stop!” Yongqing shouted desperately, looking at Wang Xing’an with tears in her eyes. “I’ll agree, okay? Just stop this. Please, stop.”

“Haha, isn’t that great?” Wang Xing’an immediately lifted his eyebrows, laughing. “Number Two, come back. I’m in a generous mood today. Let’s forgive…”

“I didn’t expect that even a visit to Kyoto Base City would lead to such an incident.”

A voice rang out.

Everyone in the ward turned to look. It was Luo Feng who had spoken. Wang Xing’an’s face immediately darkened, his gaze turning cold and sharp: “You’re really asking for death.”

“Don’t get involved,” Yongqing pleaded urgently to Luo Feng. “His name is Wang Xing’an. He’s from the Wang family in Kyoto and controls a significant portion of their economic power. He’s recently been designated as the first heir of the Wang family. Moreover, his mother is related to the Kyoto Regional Military Command…”

“I should call you cousin, right?”

Luo Feng smiled. Yongqing was momentarily stunned.

Luo Feng walked directly toward Wang Xing’an, calmly approaching.

“Who are you?” Wang Xing’an glared at Luo Feng.

“Who am I?”

Luo Feng grinned.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, the papers beside the bed shattered into six pieces. The six pieces rapidly spun and danced, creating six afterimages. In a blink of an eye, they sliced through Wang Xing’an’s shoulders, legs, spine, and lower abdomen! Just a few drops of blood flew out, but they gathered mid-air into a small blood sphere that floated to the front of Luo Feng.

“You, you…” Wang Xing’an tried to struggle but found his entire body paralyzed, only able to move his head.

The entire ward fell silent. The two bodyguards were stunned—they clearly recognized that the opponent was a Mentalist! The others in the room, including Tang Yongqing, stared at Luo Feng in disbelief, then turned to look at his family. What kind of family was this? Where did this powerful figure suddenly come from?

“You dare to lay a hand on me,” Wang Xing’an gritted his teeth in rage.

“That angry expression of yours…” Luo Feng looked down at Wang Xing’an on the ground. “To quote you—’In my eyes, you’re just an ant.'”

“You’re asking for death, asking for death!” Wang Xing’an’s gaze was terrifying.

“Looking for death?”

Luo Feng stared at Wang Xing’an. “Tell me, who do you want to take revenge for you? Does your mother have connections with the Regional Military Command? Oh, the top military figure in Huaxia is ‘Jia Yi,’ a being surpassing even a War God. Your Wang family is one of the nine great families of the HR Alliance, and the highest authority in the HR Alliance is its President, Isadora!”

Luo Feng pulled out his phone, opened the contact list, and pointed the screen at Wang Xing’an. “These two numbers in the middle are for Jia Yi and Isadora, the HR Alliance President. If you want revenge, feel free to call them… Don’t look at the other numbers. The one at the top is for ‘Hong,’ the Grandmaster of the Limitless Martial Arts Gym.”
