Chapter 317: Chapter 317: The Evil God, Beyond Your Imagination【10 More】

The phone was silent for a long time, as both parties waited for the other to speak first.

Whoever lost their patience first would lose the initiative.

Xiao Zheng, however, was indifferent, lying on the rooftop with a faint smile. As the Heavenly Net Master, he had conducted a detailed investigation into Futu, which held a profound heritage and was like a crouching dragon and hidden tiger.

Moreover, as a martial arts powerhouse, Huaxia was home to Ancient Martial Arts, which only added luster to Futu.

It could be said that in today’s world, no organization would want to offend Futu; doing so would be akin to seeking death.

And the Futu Heaven Ranking Exchange Competition, which Zhu Chanji spoke of, was held once a year, and its purpose was self-evident—it was to refresh bloodlines, to constantly add fresh blood. This was also the fundamental method by which Futu remained ever-enduring and prosperous.

The talents of Futu were selected from various military forces, and a portion from elite experts in the civilian population.

With limited annual slots, experts from all sides were willing to fight tooth and nail, sparing no expense.

Finally, it was Zhu Chanji who broke the silence, taking the lead and saying, "Evil God, you are also part of Huaxia, and you should contribute to the peace and stability of the motherland."

Xiao Zheng pursed his lips, helplessly responding, "Old Zhu, I’m not interested in those kids, and participating in such a competition is pointless to me."

"That’s where you misunderstand. Each competitor is an expert among experts, all top talents from various powers.

Besides, the forest is big and filled with all kinds of birds. Today’s younger generation is so arrogantly proud that it’s frightening. I too am exhausted, and I need you to come and shake things up."

Zhu Chanji’s tone was that of someone asking for help, but there was an undeniable insistence in his words.

"Fine, you’ve convinced me. I’ll see you at the competition," Xiao Zheng thought it over. Futu had been kind to him and had helped him quite a bit, so he readily agreed.

Zhu Chanji, however, spoke with the satisfied tone of an elder, "That’s great to hear, let’s settle on that."

Xiao Zheng was the first to hang up the phone and looked down at the floor below.

He saw a shoeshine boy carrying a box, busily shining shoes on the street. With the back-and-forth rubbing of the shine cloth, the shoes all glistened brightly, as though licked clean by a dog.

Shoes may wear out, and the shine cloth would fare no better, wearing out even more severely.

Xiao Zheng smiled silently.

"Old Zhu is quite the schemer!"

...

After Zhu Chanji hung up the phone, he looked back at Bai Mudan and Black Rose and smiled serenely.

"You heard the call with Evil God. It seems he doesn’t appreciate your help very much."

Bai Mudan huffed, her face frosty as she said, "That shameless man, it’s not surprising that he reacts like this."

"Jerk!"

Black Rose too had a face full of contempt, snorting, "Evil God isn’t all that, after all. The so-called Divine Needle King managed to escape from him even though neither of us used our swords. It’s quite comical."

"From now on, pay attention. If something can be done without fail, don’t leave loose ends!" Zhu Chanji said solemnly, becoming serious.

"We got it!"

Black Rose and Bai Mudan’s expressions hardened, and they nodded heavily, obediently following the order, their eyes filled with deep respect.

They both knew that Futu was their guardian deity, and Zhu Chanji was the grounding needle of Futu. With him around, no matter how big the storm, they could face it calmly and without fear.

It wasn’t just reverence for personal martial prowess, but also for a wisdom that was a cut above the rest—the kind of strategy that could secure victory from a thousand miles away. No one within Futu could match this.

At this moment, Bai Mudan furrowed her brows and said expressionlessly, "Why did we have to invite this Evil God? It’s really baffling."

"Mu Dan, you’re still so naive, knowing too little about this world," Zhu Chanji shook his head helplessly, a glint of sharpness fleeting through his eyes.

"What’s the matter? Could there be some deeper meaning?" Black Rose was also puzzled. Within Hua Xia Country, who had Futu ever been afraid of? All the mercenaries and assassins could only return in defeat.

Zhu Chanji couldn’t help but flash a self-mocking smile and said with a heh, "You only think of your own little territories, but have you ever thought about going out and looking around? Domestically, Evil God is friendly and harmonious toward us, but once you step out of the country, hehe..."

"Could it be that Evil God is really that fearsome abroad?" Bai Mudan’s face was filled with incredulity and deep confusion.

"Let me tell you, once you step out of the country, Evil God is truly an Evil God!" Zhu Chanji looked at them indifferently and walked out, looking lonely and desolate.

Black Rose and Bai Mudan were left staring at each other, dumbfounded, like a toad staring at green beans.

"Mu Dan, according to the helmsman, is Evil God hiding his talents?"

"I don’t know, but given the helmsman’s level of concern, it seems like he’s extending an olive branch."

"How is that possible? That shameless guy wants to join Futu? I, queent, wouldn’t agree to it."

"You’re not the helmsman, so these words don’t mean much."

"..."

"Achoo"

Perhaps someone was mentioning him in the unseen realm; Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but sneeze, disturbing many of his colleagues buried in their computers.

They looked up, glanced at the sleepy-eyed Xiao Zheng, not daring to complain outwardly, but inwardly they were grumbling: this nepotism really makes one envious and resentful.

We’re working so hard and still just little employees, while he arrives and soon becomes a little supervisor. It’s truly frustrating when comparing oneself to others.

Hua Xia is really a society ruled by relationships.

After work.

Xiao Zheng called Long Qie to inquire about Titan’s condition.

Long Qie was overjoyed. The boss hasn’t called us for a long time, something must have happened.

"Brother Xiao, that dunce Titan has completely recovered. He could kill an elephant with a single punch."

"Good, it’s great that he’s recovered! Prepare yourselves, in a few days we’re going to get moving and stretch our muscles."

Xiao Zheng always exhibited a gentle concern for his brothers in life and death. Remember, the friendships of gentlemen are as water; those of petty men are as sweet as wine.

True brothers may seem ordinary, but when faced with real danger, they would take a bullet for each other.

Titan could do it, Long Qie could do it, and so could Xiao Zheng. This is the friendship forged through adversity, which is vastly different from those fair-weather friends.

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone obviously changed; it seemed that the phone had been snatched from Long Qie.

A deep, resonant voice came through: "Brother Xiao, who are we going to take on?"

"It’s you, Titan? You sound like you’ve recovered well! Wait a few days, and I’ll let you experience the style of Hua Xia’s experts!"

Xiao Zheng smiled because he felt that he owed Titan. If it weren’t for Titan’s desperate protection during that operation, there wouldn’t be an Evil God with an international reputation now.

That reputation included Titan’s contributions. As one of Xiao Zheng’s chief generals, that was a friendship sealed in life and death.

Not long ago, Titan had exhausted himself helping to eliminate the legendary five dragons despite not being fully recovered.

Titan was clearly thrilled. The man with too much energy found sparring with Long Qie uninteresting, partly because neither could get the upper hand and partly because they were reluctant to seriously hurt each other, being brothers after all.

Now, hearing they could fight with others, the guy was itching to get going.

"Hua Xia’s experts? They must all keep a low profile; I’m actually looking forward to it. It’d be great if we could have a fight right now."
