Free Web NovelChapter 693: Chapter 285: Storming the Headquarters
Li Xin is now the idol and new god of the Night Patrol. For many years, they were oppressed, bowing their heads wherever they went, getting kicked around. Now, Li Xin lets them hold their heads high and ensures that everyone lives without worries. Anyone going against Chief Li is going against all of the Night Patrol.
Captain Qin has already instructed that nothing can go wrong at the Freedom Daily. He rushed over as soon as he got the news, but it was still a bit late, and he was terribly self-blaming, so he acted more ruthlessly. Let alone the Hundred Martial Hall, the Night Patrol has faced countless obstructions from the Hundred Martial Hall while performing their duties; this isn’t asking for trouble?
This group comes and goes quickly, and the staff of Freedom Daily cheered. Jina glanced at Lin Fei, "It seems your boy is quite detail-oriented. Has he found someone yet?"
"You’re not paying enough attention as his aunt. You’ve been saying this for so long but haven’t found someone for him."
"It’s not that I haven’t, your Li boy is destined for great things, not a creature of the shallow, ordinary people can’t match him, I dare not introduce him casually," Jina said with a smile, her eyes blinking.
"It’s not good for him to be so busy all the time." Lin Fei still hoped Li Xin could settle down and have a family.
"It’s normal for young people to want to achieve something first. He’s very impressive in the Black Market. If it weren’t for the big incident with Hong Yan, he’d be the talk of Dragon Capital now." Jina said enviously, initially thinking he was just a capable boy, then realizing he was a formidable author, defeating Yan Tianguang, a secretive power without a doubt, and even managing the Gold Market.
He has a significant background; Jina has the insight to see that ordinary nobles can’t match him, and clearly, Kathy isn’t his biggest support.
"It’s not that exaggerated."
"Really, it’s not exaggerated. You don’t know the existence of the Gold Market, which is a secret organization comparable to the Church Court and the Kingdom, the most mysterious being the Secret Castle, and your Li Xin can actually make the Immortals of the Secret Castle pay management fees, that’s impressive."
"Isn’t that outside the jurisdiction of the Night Patrol?"
"Dear, no one can even approach without an invitation. As soon as he arrived, the legendary Immortals showed up. You might not know, but the weakest among them are said to be of Angel level, terrifying immortal beings, yet the Immortals prepared to pay all of the Gold Market’s management fees. What we’re seeing is the result, there’s so much intricacy behind it, your boy hides it well, what kind of match could I possibly introduce?" said Jina.
It’s tough to be a matchmaker; even princesses aren’t interested, you can’t use worldly standards for such high figures in the hidden world, and she doesn’t understand the standards of that world.
"Now that you put it that way, I’m even more troubled. What kind of person is this boy looking for?" Lin Fei rubbed her forehead.
Achoo, achoo, achoo~~~
In the office, Li Xin rubbed his nose, tightened his clothes. What’s going on, can he still catch a cold in this physical condition?
The plan is progressing smoothly. Implementing the benefits for the Night Patrol is key to their future development. Thanks to Luthor who laid the solid foundation, the subjects are practical, and small problems can be jointly resolved. Of course, the legacy of old Luo and the performance in the Black Market are also significant, earning internal recognition from the Night Patrol is not easy, but once gained, it helps in executing one’s ideas well.
There’s bound to be some action from the Hundred Martial Hall, it’s just unclear from where they will start.
Knock, knock, knock...
A white owl was tapping on the window. Li Xin opened the window, took the letter, and gave the white owl a Lira, which flew away happily with fluttering wings.
"Qi Badao has been imprisoned by Hua Qianzhan in the dungeon, in imminent danger."
Li Xin’s expression turned stern, undoubtedly this was because of him. His relationship with Qi Badao was very secretive, even if investigated, it wouldn’t appear so close. But unexpectedly, the Hundred Martial Hall started from this point.
Is it a trap? Who’s the messenger?
Li Xin recalled the messenger who warned him about the Song of Hell coming to Dragon Capital. It’s the same one.
Without hesitation, using dice, he determined the message on the letter was true. Whether it’s a trap or with other motives, Li Xin couldn’t ignore Qi Badao.
Li Xin called up Meng Po, "Sister Meng, gather all the members of the Shadow Owl, come with me to the Hundred Martial Hall’s main hall, and bring all the gear."
Meng Po was taken aback, "Yes, Captain."
Meng Po immediately left, and soon after, Lu Shuimo and other serving members of the Shadow Owl Night Patrol gathered with Hex Demon-Sealing Spears and battle knives.
"Captain, what happened, are we going to fight the Hundred Martial Hall?" Lu Shuimo asked.
"One of our Night Patrol brothers was captured, we’re going to get them back." Li Xin said.
"Hundred Martial Hall is getting out of hand, daring to capture our people, where are they?"
"Dragon Martial Hall."
Everyone was taken aback; that’s the main hall of the Hundred Martial Hall.
"Captain, don’t we need more people?" Yan Bei said, if we’re going to fight the Hundred Martial Hall, we need to gather all of the Night Patrol.
"We’re not going to war, we’re enforcing the law, follow me to get our people back!" Li Xin said.
Li Xin led the group to the Hundred Martial Hall’s main hall, Dragon Martial Hall, located in the East District.
Dragon Martial Hall used to be in the North District, later became the inner hall’s base, and the main hall was relocated to the wealthy and noble East District, built grand and magnificent. Hua Qianzhan felt only then did it match the status of the Hundred Martial Hall, also facilitating connections with dignitaries and nobles.
When Li Xin led the Night Patrol into the Hundred Martial Hall, all its disciples were stunned. In the entire Dragon Capital, no one dared to disrespect the Hundred Martial Hall, yet someone had the guts to bring people inside.
Hua Qianzhan was also in disbelief upon hearing the news, how audacious!
Yesterday they dealt with Qi Badao; he was on his last breath, yet wouldn’t say anything useful, making jokes like a rock in a latrine, this small-time gangster was unexpectedly tough. If there’s no other way, they’d have to resort to soul-searching techniques.
Hua Qianzhan was discussing strategies with several hall masters, including Hall Master Qinglong Yan Feng, who holds significant influence in Dragon Capital; many things can’t be done without him.
The hall masters of both the outer and inner halls serve dual roles, and over the years the outer hall masters have become his confidants.
Since no use could be gotten from Qi Badao, other methods had to be considered. After all, they couldn’t sit idly by, "Once the Night Patrol completely sorts out the Black Market, retrieving it will be even harder, especially with the Church Court coveting the profits. If we lose this slice, everyone present will suffer, the losses must be shared."
Hua Qianzhan looked at the hall masters, especially the inner hall’s Yan Feng and Jian Lezhi, one manages traitors, the other intelligence, yet at critical times, they act nonchalantly.
"It must be taken back, by any means, if the Night Patrol doesn’t give us a way out, we can’t let them have it easy!"
"Right, the elder made it clear, fight them, everything of the Hundred Martial Hall was fought for with knives and guns!"
All the outer hall masters were indignant, while Hua Qianzhan looked at Yan Feng and Jian Lezhi, "Master Yan and Master Jian, won’t you contribute?"
"Elder Hua, I’m in charge of handling traitors. Going against the Night Patrol contradicts our Hundred Martial Hall’s principles," Yan Feng said.
"What principles? Is the inner hall not part of the Hundred Martial Hall? Are you just going to stand by and do nothing? Master Jian, what kind of intelligence has your group been gathering? A bunch of useless people failing to find out about Li Xin’s strength and connections!"
Yan Feng’s seniority and influence are incredibly strong, and the Qinglong Hall holds a significant position. Hua Qianzhan turned his focus to Jian Lezhi.
Jian Lezhi gave a slight smile, "Elder Hua, calm down, anger clouds judgment. Since you mentioned it, let’s review, when providing intelligence, didn’t we remind our sub-hall that Li Xin has origins in the Secret Castle, played pivotal roles in major secretive events in Celestial Capital and Hedan, especially his Night Patrol identity, to be handled with caution? Better to negotiate if possible; this decision was yours, Elder Hua. Now that there’s an issue, don’t lay the blame on our hall. Now, Elder Hua, you’re considering confronting the Night Patrol Captain; I must remind you, this means confronting the Cabinet and Moon God’s Court."
Jian Lezhi’s calm words silenced the entire room.
