Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents
Chapter 60 - 58, Xiao Li’s Boss

Chapter 60: 58, Xiao Li’s Boss

After the group in black suits left, Lu Lin and his friends looked at each other in confusion.

"Lu Lin, what just happened?"

Da Xiang grabbed a tissue from the table and wiped the blood from his head. Thinking about the fight that had just taken place, he was still frightened.

How did it suddenly turn into a fight?

"What are you talking about? That guy who just ran away, he wanted to chase after me, and then..."

Wang Juan explained to Da Xiang, also taking a tissue and wiping Da Xiang’s face.

Although Da Xiang’s combat power seemed weak, he appeared to be the real hero who had determined the outcome of the battle.

"You, look how tall you’ve grown! But look at Lu Lin; he easily took down their leader and even got us a 100,000 yuan compensation."

"Right, compensation."

When Wang Juan mentioned this, Da Xiang remembered. "Lu Lin, we can’t take this money. Let me transfer it to you."

"AH!"

As Da Xiang was about to transfer the money to Lu Lin through his Personal Terminal, he suddenly cried out in pain.

Wang Juan panicked and quickly checked what was wrong.

"Oh dear, Da Xiang, it’s just a cut on your wrist. Do you really have to act like such a child?"

Wang Juan said, still grabbing Da Xiang’s right hand and shaking it, not noticing the sweat already beading on Da Xiang’s forehead.

"Wang Juan, are you crazy?"

Lu Lin hurriedly stopped her.

Da Xiang’s pained expression clearly indicated a bone injury, yet this foolish girl looked down on him.

The key point was... Da Xiang was also endearingly naive; he endured the pain and didn’t make a sound even when Wang Juan shook his hand.

Lu Lin was truly exasperated by the pair.

"Let’s go, let’s go to the hospital first."

A bone injury like this will take at least half a month to heal.

Lu Lin hailed a taxi, paid for the barbecue, and the three of them went to the hospital.

On the way back, Zhang Haibo reported the situation to Wang Lihe over the phone.

"Huh?"

Wang Lihe frowned. He was aware of Zhang Haibo’s skill level.

But even so, for Zhang Haibo to have failed against Lu Lin puzzled him.

"It’s like this. Although Lu Lin has just awakened, he has already mastered a decent Star Power Martial Arts. My finger..."

After Zhang Haibo explained further, Wang Lihe couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.

Although the federation had many High School students Awakening every year, and many self-awakened individuals, the number of Star Core Warriors in ordinary society was still relatively rare.

Whether on Saturn or Blue Star, a large number of Star Core Warriors would go to alien planets for various reasons and enter the Exotic Battlefield.

In the ordinary world, Star Core Warriors could almost only be seen on television or the Internet.

Previously, the Jin Hao Group had relied on Zhang Haibo, a retired Star Core Warrior with no hope for advancement, to thrive in Green City. In just over 20 years, it had become a large enterprise in Green City, involved in various aspects such as public livelihood, construction, trade, and finance.

"Alright, I understand."

"You take your men to the hospital to recover first. You don’t need to worry about this matter anymore."

"Yes, Mr. Wang. What about Wang Shao..."

"Don’t worry about him. He’s a waste. He’s not capable of success, but he’s certainly capable of failure."

Wang Lihe hung up the phone and tapped his fingers on the desk erratically.

It seemed he had underestimated this matter. He hadn’t expected that Lu Lin, before even entering University, would have learned a Star Power Combat Skills from somewhere.

The federation’s control over Star Core Warriors was extremely strict.

From Awakening, to Comprehending Star Skills, then learning the Star Vein Refining Method, and finally learning Star Power Combat Skills for battle—every link, every person, was strictly controlled.

Lu Lin came from an ordinary agricultural worker’s family. Who knows what kind of dumb luck allowed him to learn Star Power Combat Skills. In that case, I’ll have to use the Black Shark Society’s biggest chess piece on Saturn.

Wang Lihe rubbed his temples, quickly made a decision, and dialed a number.

"What do you want?"

"artist, this time we may need you to take action..."

Lu Lin and his friends stayed at the hospital for over two hours. A professional Star Power Pharmacist gave Da Xiang a Rapid Healing Elixir to drink, and Da Xiang felt the pain in his wrist lessen considerably.

"Da Xiang, you should stay home and rest properly for the next few days. Didn’t the doctor just say you need to recuperate?"

"Stop thinking about driving your taxi. Missing out on a couple of days’ earnings won’t make you starve."

Wang Juan chattered on beside him.

Da Xiang nodded repeatedly, a simple, contented smile on his face.

"Still smiling, still smiling, huh? When will you ever be a bit more alert?"

Wang Juan slapped him lightly in exasperation and rolled her eyes.

"Alright, Wang Juan, say a little less. You’re giving me a headache. Da Xiang, you agree, right?"

"No."

Da Xiang looked at Wang Juan lovingly. "It’s okay. You can keep talking; I’ll keep every word in my heart."

Wang Juan grew even more smug, tossing her head at Lu Lin, but she didn’t say anything more.

Lu Lin felt like he would die laughing because of these two; they were both such characters.

If, a few years down the line, Wang Juan and Da Xiang weren’t married and settled down together, Lu Lin would find it utterly inconceivable.

The three of them were laughing and talking as they walked out of the hospital when Lu Lin suddenly noticed a woman.

She wore a white casual suit jacket and sported ear-length, center-parted short hair reminiscent of Android 17 from Dragon Ball.

She had a slender figure and stood about 1.7 meters tall, perhaps a little more.

She wore black, tight-fitting, ankle-exposing pants, with an extravagantly styled pistol holstered on each thigh.

The woman walked towards Lu Lin and his friends, her face expressionless.

"Lu Lin."

"Hello."

Even when greeting him, she maintained a cold expression, as if someone owed her millions.

"You are...?"

Lu Lin stopped. He didn’t recognize this woman.

"I am the Boss’s combat secretary. You can call me Xiao Li," Xiao Li said coldly, her demeanor not at all matching the cuteness of her name.

"Our Boss would like to have a chat with you. He’s just in the car across the street."

"Please come with me."

Boss? Could it be the Boss of the Jin Hao Group? Why is the Jin Hao Group so relentlessly pursuing me? They found me at the barbecue, and now they’re waiting outside the hospital. Are these people part bloodhound or something?

"No need," Lu Lin said coldly. "I have no intention of making an enemy of your Jin Hao Group, nor do I need you to play any ’bury the hatchet’ games with me."

"No, my Boss isn’t with Jin Hao."

"You’ll understand when you come. Our Boss appreciates you very much."

Xiao Li seemed a little anxious, her speech quickening slightly.

This opportunity to interact with people was one she had fought for with the Boss, and she didn’t want it to end in failure.

In a car in the distance, another woman watched Xiao Li and chuckled. "Boss, do you think Xiao Li can bring Lu Lin over?

"Ha! With that cold face of hers, people wouldn’t even want to deal with her. How could they possibly trust her?

"Boss, did you hear me? Smile a little! If you don’t, you’ll end up just like Xiao Li."

Lu Lin hesitated.

Not Jin Hao’s people? But he didn’t know any other bosses on Saturn. Still, no matter who the Boss was, he could find out their purpose by going to see them.

Telling Wang Juan and Da Xiang to wait patiently, Lu Lin nodded and walked with Xiao Li towards the car.

The car door opened, and Lu Lin saw the Boss with the hidden identity.

"It’s you..."
