Chapter 463: Chapter 437: The Mayor Comes to Ask

James is so powerful, if we get him to help, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake to take down Li Chen?

Excitement and the lust for revenge sparkled in Gao Gu’s eyes. As long as he could get James on board, his own vengeance would be effortlessly achieved!

"Little Wu, go invite him over for me, I want to take down Li Chen!" Gao Gu said to a subordinate standing by.

That subordinate looked at the terrifying James on the TV and couldn’t help saying, "Brother Gu, this man is indeed powerful, but if we want to invite him, it will probably cost a lot of money, right?"

"No matter the cost, as long as Li Chen can be taken down, even spending a fortune would be worth it," Gao Gu stated, recalling how he had been defeated by Li Chen twice, his eyes filled with humiliation and rage.

Especially that latter time, having to kneel before Li Chen in front of so many people, it was absolutely unforgivable!

It had always been others kneeling to him, never him kneeling to anyone else!

He had to reclaim his dignity!

...

The next day.

Li Chen and the Lin Yi sisters were sitting down for breakfast, and Zhong Tian was there.

To cater to Zhong Tian, Aunt Wang would always prepare a large amount of food, but Zhong Tian’s appetite was shockingly huge, so each time, he would polish off everything.

"Okay, I’m full," Lin Xiaoxiao patted her stomach.

"Second Miss, you should eat more," Aunt Wang said cheerfully on the side.

"Oh, Aunt Wang, I’ll get fat if I eat more. I’m trying to lose weight right now," Lin Xiaoxiao replied.

Lin Yi shook her head, "Xiaoxiao, why lose weight now? You have a great figure. Keeping your energy up is most important."

"But I’m really full already. I can’t eat like Middle Heaven does."

Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, while Zhong Tian, upon hearing his name, looked up from his feasting, his naïve expression full of confusion. The Ginseng Doll by his side was also wiping its little mouth, in front of it an array of fresh and tasty fruits and plants.

Aunt Wang was quite fond of the little creature and made sure to take special care of the Ginseng Doll.

"I’m off to class," said Lin Xiaoxiao, standing up from her seat.

Soon after, Lin Yi and the others finished their breakfast as well. The Ginseng Doll patted its round belly, its face filled with contentment.

Aunt Wang chuckled and poked the Ginseng Doll’s belly, "You’re full, aren’t you?"

The Ginseng Doll made cheerful "wa-woo wa-woo" noises in response.

The others prepared to head to the company, but as they opened the door, they were met by a group of people standing outside.

Li Chen was taken aback; the visitor was none other than Mayor Ren!

Why had he come?

A wave of confusion swept over Li Chen, while Mayor Ren asked, "Is this Li Chen?"

Li Chen nodded.

Mayor Ren was pleased, "Forgive my abrupt visit. May I come in to have a talk?"

Li Chen let Mayor Ren in, while Lin Yi looked confused.

"Darling, you go to work; I’ll have a chat with Mayor Ren," Li Chen said with a smile.

Lin Yi nodded.

"Would you like something to drink?" asked Li Chen.

"No, thank you. I’ll get straight to the point," Mayor Ren replied. "I’ve come to ask for your help."

Ask for my help?

Li Chen was stunned for a moment, then he asked almost imperceptibly, "Who referred you to me?"

"Don’t get me wrong, it’s like this, you should know Dragon Soul, in the list of Dragon Soul, your strength, Li Chen, is recognized, so I came here specially to visit you and hope that you can make a move to defeat the foreign martial arts team and give our Huaxia a sigh of relief."

Li Chen shook his head, "I don’t want to go."

Mayor Ren looked somewhat disappointed, but still tried to convince him, "Li Chen, this matter concerns the dignity of our Huaxia. If you can help, please make a move."

"I’m really not interested. I’ve seen the strength of those people, it’s just mediocre. I’ve heard you’ve invited a lot of hidden masters, with or without me, it will be the same!" Li Chen said.

This was his true opinion. As a master of the Heaven List, there were plenty of people in Huaxia who could beat him, not to mention thinking that those hidden masters of Huaxia were vegetarians. They usually didn’t show off, but if they really made a move, James was nothing.

Now that the other side was so arrogant, surely a lot of hidden masters would appear!

By then, even if Li Chen went, he might not even have had a chance to compete before the others were defeated. It would have been better not to go.

Mayor Ren, however, thought that this was just Li Chen’s pretext to evade, and feeling disappointed, he stood up; "If so, I apologize for the intrusion."

After saying this, Mayor Ren left.

Although he didn’t manage to convince Li Chen, Mayor Ren didn’t mind too much. He didn’t know Li Chen’s real strength and thought he was like those other masters.

Afterwards, Mayor Ren and the others hurried to the residence of the next master. In order to win this war, they were running around as well.

Yes, this was no longer just a simple martial arts exchange. It was a war, a war about national dignity!

After sending Mayor Ren away, Li Chen also headed to the company.

Upon arriving at the company and just entering the lobby, he heard two colleagues discussing the matter.

"Today is the second day of the competition. I wonder what kind of master our country will invite."

"I’m looking forward to it as well. This time we should be able to regain some face."

"I hope we can defeat that James. He’s just too arrogant!"

As Li Chen walked by, he noticed that everyone was paying attention, either talking about it or searching for information on their phones. It was obvious that the entire Huaxia nation was focused on the competition the next day.

After arriving at the lab, Yang Zi and the others didn’t joke with Li Chen as usual but were discussing this matter instead.

"There should be some expectation today."

"I also believe that today we won’t be disappointed. These hidden masters will certainly be able to defeat those Western ghosts!"

"Brother Cheen." Wang Qianqian greeted him from the side.

Li Chen smiled faintly, but before he could say a word, Wang Qianqian asked anxiously, "Brother Cheen, are you going to participate in that martial arts competition?"

Li Chen was taken aback, then shook his head, "Qianqian, why do you ask that?"

Wang Qianqian let out a sigh of relief, "Brother Cheen, that James is too strong, it’s better for you not to go."

Li Chen was caught between laughter and tears on the inside. Although Wang Qianqian was concerned about him, the way she expressed her concern sounded a bit odd.

Throughout the morning, the work efficiency in the lab was much lower than usual. Wang Lei didn’t say anything, he was also following the matter, and thus felt annoyed.

When it came to the issue of national dignity, everyone felt the same.

Finally, it was time for lunch, and almost instantly, everyone in the lab opened the video streaming page on their computers.

"Damn, it won’t open?"

"The online crowd is too big, it’s surpassed five hundred million, switch to another site quickly."

Not just the people in the lab, but others as well. Every department of the company opened their computers, tuned to the streaming page, preparing to watch today’s competition.

Not just the company, in other places across Huaxia, almost every household, inside shopping malls, inside restaurants, they all turned on their TVs, just waiting for this moment to come.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the entire nation was awaiting this competition with bated breath!
