Chapter 517: 517 Intimidation from Young Master Yan [1 more update]

Moonlight struck his mask, casting a faint silver glow.

"Daoist, Daoist Master!" the young man finally blurted out a term, "The Five Lords are not here tonight, they’ve gone to handle matters... I don’t know if there’s anything you would like me to do?"

"Don’t be afraid." Yan Tingfeng replied with a light chuckle, his words carrying a soothing power, "It’s just that there are indeed some matters, the Sweeney Family can disappear tonight."

These words were spoken with an air of nonchalance and a faint smile, seemingly devoid of any lethal force or threat.

Yet it was this very sentence that sealed the fate of an entire family.

The Sweeney Family!

The young man remembered this family, because the Extreme Path had dealt with several members of the Sweeney Family who had all committed malicious harm to civilians.

The Sweeney Family’s entire household was like this, not just individual members’ issue.

But what could the Sweeney Family have done this time to alert the Jidao Leader?!

The young man relaxed slightly, stood upright, and said loudly, "Yes! Do you have any further instructions, Daoist?"

However, after saying this, he received no response.

The more the young man thought about it, the more nervous he became, and when he lifted his head, he found that there was no one in front of him.

Yan Tingfeng had appeared suddenly, and he left just as quietly.

"Whew... That scared me to death." The young man patted his chest and muttered to himself, "But the Daoist isn’t as scary as others say. He actually seems rather approachable."

He began to firmly believe that those people had misunderstood their Daoist Leader.

Most members of the Extreme Path Organization were once oppressed low-class individuals from the Global Center.

The emergence of the Extreme Path had given them a sanctuary and bestowed them with some capabilities.

Thus, the young man held great respect for the Jidao Leader and was thankful that he had established the Extreme Path Organization.

"The Sweeney Family..." the young man muttered the name and immediately rushed to report internally.

The next day, early in the morning.

Lin Wenli woke up at six o’clock, his weary spirit well-restored.

He thought that his first act of violence would give him nightmares and make it difficult to sleep, but instead, he slept very well.

"Morning." Ye Wanlan, with her arms crossed and brows raised, said, "You look refreshed, come eat breakfast."

Lin Wenli followed her downstairs and suddenly asked, "Sister, did you not come back last night?"

"Mm." Ye Wanlan said nonchalantly, "I took a walk around to check on the security of the Global Center."

After a moment of silence, Lin Wenli asked in a low voice, "Sister, the last time you came to the Global Center for the fashion show, you must have faced assassination attempts too?"

Just securing first place in an interview had made someone want to kill him.

What about Ye Wanlan, the head of the Pulling the Sky Company?

Pulling the Sky touched upon interests that were much larger than many companies’ shares combined.

"I did," Ye Wanlan smiled, "It’s good that you know, especially since you’ll study at Shenzhou University for four years. But let’s not tell uncle and aunt about these matters."

Lin Wenli nodded, "I understand."

"The exam results will be released today." Ye Wanlan placed a cup of warm milk in front of him, "Once the results are out, you can start school early. Shenzhou University also has a short semester system, and I’ve asked Ling Yunzhan to handle the procedures for you."

"Thank you, Sister." Lin Wenli also knew that all of this was hard-earned, and he looked serious, "I will study well here, until I return to Shenzhou."

"Good," Ye Wanlan’s expression looked casual, "I’ll be waiting."

"Ding ding ding—"

There were new messages in the group chat.

[World’s Richest]: So annoying, last night the Extreme Path dealt with the Sweeney Family.

[Cultured Person]: The Sweeney Family? Never heard of them, some new power that emerged?

[Crazy Scientist]: Oh, our unit did deal with the Sweeney Family, a small family not worthy of public appearance but quite insidious in their tactics, I must say, the Extreme Path did a neat job.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Rich Sister, since you’re so annoyed by the Extreme Path, why not just buy it, and let the Daoist see what the power of money can do.

[World’s Richest]: My annoyance is not with the Extreme Path, but because I have another meeting, I initially planned to see off YN Sister, but it looks like I can’t now.

[Cultured Person]: Still don’t know which Sweeney family you’re talking about, but so many evil deeds, why did Extreme Path single them out?

[YN]: Maybe because I threw one of the key members of the Sweeney Family in front of the Extreme Path’s Fifth Substation.

This statement brought sudden silence to the entire group.

"..."

"[Deadly Poison Master]: Is it fierce or is Rich Sister fierce? Even though it’s just a substation, who knows if the Extreme Path Leader might suddenly come down for an inspection?"

"[Ghostbuster Bro]: It still has to be my Rich Sister, Extreme Path isn’t anything to fret about."

"[YN]: I didn’t expect that I would have to hold another meeting because of Little Keli, I should have dealt with him yesterday."

"[World’s Richest]: It’s fine, anyways those guys will always find various excuses to hold meetings, I’m used to it."

Kristin typed this sentence still feeling resentful.

Although accustomed, it didn’t mean she wasn’t angry.

"Miss Kristin, your coffee." The young deacon handed over a cup of cold brew, "It will take twenty more minutes to get to Heaven-reaching Tower, you can take a nap in the car."

Kristin sighed, "Let’s go."

In her heart, she truly hoped that one day, Extreme Path would blow up the Heaven-reaching Tower.

That way, she wouldn’t have to attend these boring meetings anymore.

Twenty minutes later, inside the Heaven-reaching Tower.

People filled the long table, Kristin yawned, her eyes slightly darkened.

The person pondered for a moment and then spoke, "Regarding the sudden cleanup of the Sweeney Family by Extreme Path, do you all have any clues?"

Kristin expressionlessly responded, "No."

Her temper was indeed not good at the moment.

She already had severe morning irritability, and being woken up early with a relentless series of calls to come to a meeting had made her resentment heavier than a ghost’s.

"I’ve said it long ago, those Extreme Path people disregard order, and they disregard your authority as well!" a middle-aged man shouted, "That organization should have been eradicated long ago, they only cause the development of Global Center to regress."

"That’s not quite right," an elder shook his head, "Global Center is inherently disorderly, the appearance of those Extreme Path folks actually makes many people afraid to act recklessly."

"I think Extreme Path’s power is still too large," another young girl spoke up, "They can make a mid-sized family disappear anytime, they must be restrained or else they will become more and more arrogant."

"That’s a bit alarmist," another woman said, "I think Extreme Path is very measured, they don’t kill the innocent, and they are protecting the civilians."

"What about the future?" the middle-aged man responded angrily, "People swell with power, and it’s the same with the Extreme Path Leader. What if he decides to usurp Heaven-reaching Tower one day?!"

Clearly, every meeting had two opinions: one believing that Extreme Path must be eradicated, and another that their presence was good.

This had led to no definitive conclusion in the countless meetings about the Extreme Path Organization.

Amid endless arguments, Kristin developed a headache.

"Silence."

"..."

The squabbling finally stopped.

At the end of the long table, that person sighed softly, "I’ve invited the Daoist to our meetings multiple times, but unfortunately, he has never agreed."

If only they could understand the attitude of the Extreme Path Leader, they wouldn’t be so troubled.

"This time Extreme Path acted because the Sweeney Family targeted the top candidate from this year’s Shenzhou University interviews," the woman pondered, "Could it be that the Daoist is from Shenzhou?"

"That is a reasonable guess," the person nodded slightly, "I will send another invitation to the Extreme Path Leader, asking him to join the meeting."

**

While having breakfast, Lin Wenli was completely unaware that he had sparked a meeting inside the Heaven-reaching Tower.

Having exerted a lot yesterday, Lin Wenli was eating a lot today.

"Slow down, there’s no rush," Ye Wanlan slightly chuckled, "Tingting?"

Suddenly hearing this nickname, Lin Wenli paused, lifting his head.

"Xiao Wan, cousin," Yan Tingfeng approached with a smile in his eyes, nodding at the two.

"When did you get here?" Ye Wanlan asked, "Just in time, you can still catch breakfast."

"If my cousin secured first place in such an important event, of course, I had to come," Yan Tingfeng blinked gently, "I arrived today and came straight here. I saw Xiao Wan pondering just now, is there some trouble I can help solve?"

"It’s nothing major," Ye Wanlan shook her head, "I just got news that Extreme Path cleaned up the Sweeney Family. Yesterday, that family sent a team to take Wenli’s life."

Yan Tingfeng’s phoenix eyes narrowed, "Oh?"

"I’m very curious about Extreme Path," Ye Wanlan slowly said, "Tell me, what kind of person is the Daoist who established Extreme Path?"

"Buzz, buzz."

Yan Tingfeng hadn’t responded yet when something vibrated in his pocket.

He lowered his eyelashes, a line of text flashed across the screen.

"[Xiao Zuo]: Boss! The people from Heaven-reaching Tower have invited you to their meeting again!"
