Chapter 478: Chapter 479: Connections! (Make-up for 7)

"And what exactly are you?"

Tang Zhong sneered as he spoke.

As these words came out,

the face of Secretary Qin instantly turned ugly.

Since following this big shot, not once had anyone dared to talk to him like this.

Upon hearing this, Tang Ran started to sneer. Tang Zhong’s way of speaking was practically seeking his own death, which was a good turn of events for Tang Ran. He knew that Secretary Qin hailed from the Xuanguan Sea, and in Xuanjing City, aside from those from the Martial Realm, Secretary Qin had considerable face in the Scholarly Realm.

"How dare you speak to Secretary Qin like that?" Tang Ran yelled furiously.

"None of your damn business!" Just then, the Blood Sword in Tang Zhong’s hand rose once more, slashing toward Tang Ran again.

Tang Ran had never expected that Tang Zhong would dare to attack in the presence of Secretary Qin. Caught entirely off-guard, the sword slashed toward him, marking his body with wounds once more. The bleeding he had barely managed to stop now surged out again.

Seeing Tang Zhong draw his sword, Secretary Qin hastily retreated, knowing the other was a Martial Artist with special skills. He wouldn’t have dared to come here if he hadn’t held a high position.

As Tang Ran bled more, he shouted, "Secretary Qin, do you see this? He’s trying to kill me!"

He hadn’t expected Tang Zhong to be so decisively murderous.

All he wanted now was to survive.

Secretary Qin immediately pointed at Tang Zhong and bellowed, "I am Secretary Qin, the secretary to the Minister of Dawn’s Light, this is Xuan Country, and you dare to lay hands on others like this. Are you looking down on me...?"

Minister of Dawn’s Light!

A first-class figure in the Xuanguan Sea, a pillar in the Xuan Country’s Scholarly Realm.

"Hmm!" Tang Zhong laughed and then looked at Tang Ran, unleashing another Sword Slash in mid-air.

After that strike, the tendons in Tang Ran’s hand were severed, and a scream pierced the air.

"I told you, dreaming of survival, today no matter who comes, you’re going to die!" Tang Zhong said coldly.

"If you kill me, you won’t survive either!" Tang Ran roared.

Even if he died, he would make sure to take Tang Zhong with him.

Never before had Secretary Qin been so disrespected, not even by a city mayor who would still show him some courtesy. Pointing at Tang Zhong, he coldly said, "You’re finished! To kill someone in front of me, I’ll make sure you’re severely punished. You didn’t even spare a thought for the face of the Minister of Dawn’s Light, how audacious you are!"

"Oh, suit yourself!" Tang Zhong laughed and swung his Blood Sword down toward Tang Ran once more.

Today, he was going to kill Tang Ran, and he would see who would dare to stop him.

"You... you’re courting death!" Secretary Qin’s face turned red with anger.

Picking up the phone, he immediately dialed for backup.

If he couldn’t even protect Tang Ran today, how was he supposed to continue mixing in Xuanjing City?

"Is this the Tang Family Head? I am Secretary Qin, and I’ve encountered some trouble over at the Tang residence!"

"I’m Secretary Qin, yes, at the Tang residence, I’ve run into some trouble!"

"Yes, at the Tang family’s old house, there’s been a murder, yes, please hurry over!"

...

Secretary Qin called more than a dozen times in quick succession,

meanwhile, from a distance, Li Linglong and the two others hiding in the watching chamber saw that Tang Zhong was so ruthless in his retaliation, not bowing to tyranny. Li Linglong liked his temperament even more; hadn’t the master said that they should promote Tang Zhong? In that case, he would give a helping hand.

"Quite domineering!" The enchanting woman also began to admire Tang Zhong, "But Secretary Qin has some tricks up his sleeve, what should we do?"

"If it really comes down to it, we’ll make a move!" Li Linglong said.

"Make a move? How?" asked the enchanting woman.

"Master said, ’What harm is there in granting him the rank of General?’" Li Linglong said.

General? The enchanting woman’s eyes sparkled at the thought.

And at that moment, having finished his calls, Secretary Qin turned to look at Tang Zhong and roared, "You stubborn fool, I’ll make you understand the price of crossing me!"

No one has ever dared to speak to Secretary Qin like that!

He had already made a lot of phone calls.

People would come soon, and with his influence in Xuanjing City, he would definitely not come up short.

Secretary Qin was no longer acting on behalf of Tang Ran; Tang Zhong’s disregard for him was a humiliation.

"Tang Zhong, soon, you will know the cost of ignoring me. My strength will crush you little by little until you die!" he seethed.

However, Tang Zhong ignored Secretary Qin completely, continuously slashing at Tang Ran with the Blood Sword in his hand.

Letting the blood flow bit by bit from Tang Ran’s body.

Killing someone was too easy; the point was to torture them slowly...

Soon, outside the Tang Family residence, a police car pulled up.

Bai Xiaochun had arrived with her team; she had recently been promoted to police chief. As soon as she got out of the car, the familiar scene around her triggered the memory of Tang Zhong being burned by fierce flames half a year ago, which made her feel distressed. She didn’t know what had become of him now, whether he was alive or dead.

She had been working overtime at the station today when she received a call from Secretary Qin, and she came straight over, not daring to take Secretary Qin lightly.

When Secretary Qin saw the police car arrive, he glanced over and shot Tang Zhong a venomous look, hissing, "You just wait... I will send you to prison and show you that having connections is having power."

In Xuanjing City, Secretary Qin was a man with significant sway, and Tang Zhong’s disrespect had deeply offended him.

As soon as Bai Xiaochun saw Secretary Qin, she approached and asked, "Secretary Qin, you had us come over so late, what happened?"

"Someone has committed assault with intent, that’s a matter for the police, isn’t it?" Secretary Qin said haughtily.

"Yes, where has someone been assaulted?" Bai Xiaochun asked.

"Over there, that person..." Secretary Qin pointed at Tang Zhong to show Bai Xiaochun.

"Alright, we’ll take care of it!" Bai Xiaochun said. When it came to such matters, she wasn’t one to waste words and preferred to take the person into custody first.

But when she turned around, the sight of someone in the distance froze her on the spot: "Tang... Tang Zhong!"

"It’s you? Tang Zhong!" Bai Xiaochun exclaimed in shock.

Thinking she was seeing things, she rubbed her eyes and looked again carefully, repeatedly confirming it was Tang Zhong. No longer able to contain her excitement, she rushed toward him.

"It is me, Officer Bai. That uniform suits you much better than the previous one!" Tang Zhong said with a smile.

"What are you doing here?" an excited Bai Xiaochun asked. Although she missed Tang Zhong, she knew he already had someone in his heart. Her fondness for him strained within her, but she kept her emotions in check.

"Murdering..." Tang Zhong replied.

"Murder..." Bai Xiaochun was momentarily taken aback before she saw Tang Ran lying on the ground. Instantly, she understood; this was Tang Zhong’s return for revenge.

At that moment, Secretary Qin stepped forward, looking at Tang Zhong, and told Bai Xiaochun, "Officer Bai, this is the man who committed the assault, go and arrest him!"

But Bai Xiaochun’s tone shifted, how could she possibly save Tang Ran? She turned and said, "I’m sorry, Secretary Qin, but we’re off duty now. Besides, we didn’t see anyone being assaulted."

After finishing her statement, Bai Xiaochun prepared to leave.

Secretary Qin was taken aback, watching as Bai Xiaochun actually led her team away: "Officer Bai, this man was committing assault, are you saying you didn’t see it?"

"Sorry, I didn’t see anything, Secretary Qin, maybe you’re seeing things!" Bai Xiaochun said with a smile.

"You..." Secretary Qin’s face twisted in anger, realizing all too well that Bai Xiaochun’s ignorance was deliberate.

Immediately, Secretary Qin turned to look at Tang Zhong.

Only to see Tang Zhong smiling at Secretary Qin, "That’s right, you said it yourself, people need connections..."

"You..." Secretary Qin was almost choked with fury, "Today, I will protect him. Boy, do you dare to make a move?"

"Why wouldn’t I?" Tang Zhong said with a cold laugh, then looked toward the dark corners in the distance. He was so assured because he believed in his own value.

In the shadows, Li Linglong smiled upon seeing the expression on Tang Zhong’s face and said to the coquettish woman beside him, "Let’s go out."

"Why? We are secretly observing Tang Zhong, how can we go out now?" the coquettish woman asked.

"Secretly? Do you really think he hasn’t noticed me? I must say, this guy is smart. Such a talent... how could the Master List ever contain him?" Li Linglong laughed.
