Chapter 703: Chapter 675: People Who Can’t Afford to Offend

The Wang Family was plundered!

When Wang Tao emerged from his hiding place, he couldn’t help but show a trace of despair seeing all the people lying in the courtyard.

After all, the Wang family was a considerable clan.

From top to bottom, they had several members engaged in their own enterprises in various parts of Huaxia, making the family quite flourishing.

But today, he realized that the family’s power he was proud of was so easily crushed in the eyes of some people.

Power and wealth are indeed forms of power.

But in the end, power is power itself.

It’s true that the Wang family had power and money, but before absolute power, they didn’t stand a chance to resist.

What pained Wang Tao the most was that his own daughter had been kidnapped by those thugs, which filled him with pain and a sense of panic.

At this moment, Wang Tao couldn’t help but think of Li Chen, who had visited the Wang Family a few days earlier.

Thinking of Li Chen’s formidable strength, Wang Tao felt a surge of hope.

He was now at his wits’ end and would grasp at any hint of hope.

In his eyes, the current Li Chen was his last lifeline.

"I must avenge this no matter what!" Sitting among the fallen crowd, Wang Tao let out a hiss of unwillingness.

The next day, while Li Chen was training in the villa’s yard, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Seeing the man at his doorstep, Li Chen was also taken aback, "You are... the Head of Wang Family, right? How did you find me here?"

"That..." Hearing Li Chen’s words, Wang Tao’s face showed a trace of embarrassment: "My Wang Family has been around for so long and knows some people, so I pulled some strings to find Mr. Li."

"If there’s anything you need, Head of Wang Family, just let me know. Oh, and about last time, sorry," Li Chen said with a smile.

He wasn’t too concerned about Wang Tao’s visit; after all, he owed the Wang Family a favor.

"I’m the one who should apologize," hearing Li Chen’s words, Wang Tao felt even more guilty.

If he had known, he would have preferred to give that thing to this man rather than letting that incident happen.

"Actually, the Ice Mountain Fire Dragon Stone was indeed with my Wang Family," Wang Tao sighed and finally revealed the whole story.

When he got to the part about being attacked the previous night and having not only the item stolen but also having his daughter kidnapped, Wang Tao couldn’t help shedding old tears.

"Mr. Li, I really had no other choice but to come to you! I know you have divine skills; I don’t ask for anything else, just please help me bring back my daughter Wang Xiaoya!" Wang Tao grabbed Li Chen’s arms, pleading desperately.

Upon hearing Wang Tao’s words, Li Chen’s face darkened considerably.

"You’re saying, they were Japanese?" Li Chen asked, frowning.

"That’s right, I heard them speaking in Japanese!" Wang Tao replied urgently.

Li Chen nodded, "I think I know who they might be. If you don’t mind, Head of Wang Family, you can rest here for now. I’ll send someone to investigate immediately."

"Good! Good! Thank you so much, Mr. Li," Wang Tao thanked him profusely.

After watching Wang Tao enter the villa, Li Chen, with a stern face, dialed the Nether Army’s phone.

"That guy has come back again; check his location for me! Also, this time the Japanese person doesn’t seem to have come alone—be careful."

"Yes, my lord!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The Japanese, who were quite strong, were not many in Linchuan and even fewer were formidable. Taking these points into consideration, Li Chen easily guessed who the culprit was.

"It’s Inu Ya, isn’t it?" A chill flashed in Li Chen’s slightly narrowed eyes.

Simultaneously, a sense of excitement arose in his heart.

He had not expected the real Ice Mountain Fire Dragon Stone to be with the Wang Family. Now, if he could obtain the Fire Dragon Stone, he would meet the conditions to unlock the Relic.

As Li Chen was instructing the Nether Army to conduct the investigation, Inu Ya was discussing with others.

"Cun Xia, you take the stone back first," Inu Ya held the Ice Mountain Fire Dragon Stone in his hands, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Even he hadn’t anticipated such a bountiful haul this time.

Based on their intelligence, the Wang Family was just known for some nice collections, and they had come for those. Yet unexpectedly, they wound up with such an unforeseen windfall.

"Hai! I’ll take it and escort it back immediately," Cun Xia, looking earnestly at Inu Ya, nodded seriously.

"And this girl..." After responding, Cun Xia instinctively glanced at Wang Xiaoya, who was still unconscious at the side.

"Take her too!" Upon seeing Wang Xiaoya, a lecherous glint flashed in Inu Ya’s eyes, but it seemed he had to give up on certain thoughts for the time being.

"Take her back; we’ll enjoy ourselves once I return!" Inu Ya said lewdly, "I still have a target I haven’t fulfilled this time. Once I’ve dealt with that, I’ll return!"

"Hai!" Cun Xia nodded, and then with several men, started to lead Wang Xiaoya away.

"You all, come with me, let’s take care of another matter!" Inu Ya said to the group of ninjas, his voice exuding authority, "This man, he took something very important from me. We’re used to taking from others, but this time, I’ve been robbed, and it’s a disgrace."

"And this disgrace must be washed away with his blood!"

"With his blood wash it away!" the people around him unanimously raised their short daggers, shouting loudly.

"Go!"

...

"Found anything?" As dusk approached, Li Chen once again contacted the Nether Army, yet the intelligence he received amounted to nothing.

These people seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Indeed, the Nether Army’s intelligence capabilities were strong, but these people were naturally suited for sneaky thievery and could come and go without a trace. To seek out their whereabouts through conventional means was proving exceedingly difficult.

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen’s brows involuntarily furrowed slightly. After all, he had promised Wang Tao, but now that he couldn’t find these people, things were becoming troublesome.

"Mr. Li..." Wang Tao, who was inside, seemed to have overheard Li Chen’s conversation and looked towards him with a worried expression.

"Hmm?" Li Chen was just about to speak when his gaze suddenly shifted, and he said to Wang Tao with a smile, "Head of Wang Family, don’t worry, these people have delivered themselves to our doorstep."

As soon as Li Chen’s voice fell, several figures appeared atop the walls of his villa.

Leading them was Inu Ya, the one who had been taught a lesson by Li Chen.

"Heh heh heh, bet you didn’t expect I would come back for revenge!" Inu Ya looked at Li Chen and said with a cold laugh, "Did you think I was that easy to bully? Today, your underlings aren’t here, are they? So, let me tell you something. There are some people in this world you just can’t afford to offend!"

And seeing Inu Ya and the others, Li Chen actually started to laugh. He had searched high and low to no avail, only for these fools to run straight to him.

It was as if he had found what he searched for without even having to look.

Without paying attention to Inu Ya, Li Chen turned his head and asked Wang Tao, "Head of Wang Family, take a look. Are these the guys?"

Witnessing so many people outside the villa, Wang Tao also had a look of sheer panic.

But soon, he came to his senses, realizing that Li Chen was by his side, and he calmed down slightly.

Gazing intently at the group, Wang Tao quickly confirmed, "That’s right, it’s them! Even though their faces are covered, I remember their clothes, their hairstyles!"

"That makes it easy to deal with," Li Chen nodded.

"You dare to ignore me?!" Inu Ya was furious, unable to believe that Li Chen had outright ignored his grand speech.

"Attack! Kill him!"

"Swoosh—Swoosh—"

At Inu Ya’s command, one ninja after another swiftly leaped down from the wall, lunging towards Li Chen.

In their eyes, although they heard about this man’s formidable strength and that not even Inu Ya could match him, with so many of them against one man, it should have been a straightforward capture, right?

Wang Tao also instinctively stepped back a few paces. He had witnessed Li Chen’s power, but facing so many ninjas, he truly felt uncertain.

Although Li Chen seemed very powerful, these men were cold-blooded killers!

Thinking of the slain members of the Wang Family caused Wang Tao immense heartache.

However, the next moment, Wang Tao had no time to dwell on his heartache.

"Bang!!"

A short dagger swung down towards Li Chen, who, before it landed, sent his fist crashing against the side of the blade, producing a resounding boom.

The fist, skimming past the dagger, struck the assailant’s face.

Instantly, the unfortunate ninja was sent flying outwards, crashing into the dirt of the courtyard.

At that moment, two more ninjas approached Li Chen’s side.

Li Chen didn’t even bother to look; he simply extended his hand.

Before the two ninjas could comprehend what was happening, a suffocating sensation enveloped their brains.

Li Chen had no weapon, he simply used these two unlucky souls as his instruments.

"Thud!"

Down went one.

"Thud! Thud!"

Two more fell.

"Thud! Thud! Thud..."

When Li Chen’s wild smashing spree was over, not one ninja could stand in the courtyard anymore.

"How is he so strong?!" The ninjas, lying on the ground unable to even stand, looked at Li Chen in utter disbelief. They had never imagined someone this powerful could exist in the world.

Inu Ya was also half-kneeling to one side, a trail of blood at the corner of his mouth, with a dent in his chest where Li Chen had broken his ribs.

Gazing at Li Chen, Inu Ya realized that he may have offended someone who couldn’t be offended.
