The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1646 - 1651: Collective Retirement

Lin Fei spent a few days at home, yet she was unaware that the Upper Realm had already started making new moves. Li Jing’s accomplice had confessed, and in the Upper Realm, there was a massive entity, a sect called the Desolate Earth Sect, with seventy to eighty thousand disciples, a super sect.

After taking away Li Jing’s accomplice, this sect conducted a rigorous interrogation, ultimately uncovering a tremendous secret: there was a Divine Artifact in the Lower Realm!

This secret alarmed the Sect Leader of the Desolate Earth Sect, Lang Zhanfeng!

Lang Zhanfeng appeared to be a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a square face but small eyes, and those small eyes flashed a sinister light. Of course, although he looked thirty, his real age was not just thirty, but at least three hundred. He had been the Sect Leader of the Desolate Earth Sect for over two decades, and when he heard there was a Divine Artifact in the Lower Realm, he clearly couldn’t believe it was true.

"Sect Master, it’s true! It’s said that at the time when Dugu Aotian personally eradicated the Murong Family, it was the clan members of the Murong Family Head who revealed it, and they were finally slain by Dugu Aotian," reported the Elder of the sect.

Lang Zhanfeng frowned deeply. This news was simply too shocking, a Divine Artifact!

However, Lang Zhanfeng couldn’t avoid pondering another important matter: why didn’t Dugu Aotian take the Divine Artifact away? Or was there some other reason?

Lang Zhanfeng asked the Elder below, "Did the prisoner mention why Dugu Aotian didn’t take the Divine Artifact? Or is there some special reason?"

"Sect Master, according to the prisoner’s confession, it’s because the Divine Artifact has already recognized an owner. Not only that, but Dugu Aotian apparently appointed the person recognized by the Divine Artifact as the Law Enforcer of the Lower Realm to prevent Upper Realm people from intervening," the Elder relayed the obtained information.

At this point, Lang Zhanfeng finally understood the reason. He nodded, "I see. In that case, you should send someone to investigate if there really is a Divine Artifact, and also look into the Murong Family to see if this is true, and the relationship between Dugu Aotian and that person in the Lower Realm. Additionally, make sure to check whether those people have any other intelligence."

"Yes!"

The Elder left, but Lang Zhanfeng’s heart couldn’t calm down. A Divine Artifact, that was an incredibly potent item, with only a few existing in the entire world, and remarkably there was one in the Lower Realm. If this news spread, it was likely to shake the entire Upper Realm.

Nevertheless, this information hadn’t leaked out. Lang Zhanfeng had to consider whether to spread this news or not, and as for why he had this thought, it was probably due to one person.

Dugu Aotian!

Dugu Aotian’s identity was that of someone from Qianhuang Peak, a sacred and powerful force. However, a Divine Artifact was still a Divine Artifact, with an allure far from ordinary, so Lang Zhanfeng decided to wait and see if the information was true. If it was, then even using the power of the entire sect to obtain the Divine Artifact would be worth it.

At this time, Lin Fei was still at home.

"Are you all ready to retire completely?" Lin Fei asked in surprise.

Mu Shanshan and the several top executives seemed to have all decided to retire completely, leaving the company they have relied on for survival and built with their own hands, the Mu Group!

"Of course, it’s true. Otherwise, what can we do? Besides, you know, we’ve not aged for such a long time, it’s long aroused suspicion. Look at us, each looking like we’re about as old as our son, how can people not be suspicious?" Mu Shanshan analyzed.

Lately, the whole world seemed to be ignited by a report, which was about the age issue of Mu Shanshan and the other high-ups of the Mu Group. If calculated carefully, Mu Shanshan’s age should be at least over fifty, which isn’t an issue, it could even be said that Mu Shanshan could be in her sixties.

And the other high-ups were also over forty, at the very least, but looking at the high-ups of Mu Group and Mu Shanshan, compared to ordinary people, they are practically from a different era!

It’s one thing to look in your twenties or thirties, even if you’re thirty and look like you’re in your twenties that’s not unusual, but for someone who’s sixty, even conservatively estimated at over fifty, and still looks like a twenty-year-old girl with excellent skin and appearance, how could that not raise suspicion?

Thus, the world was discussing Mu Shanshan’s health secret manual, and although Mu Shanshan’s diet and other habits have been somewhat exposed as normal, much like an ordinary person, some began to suspect that Mu Shanshan and the high-ups of the Mu Group might not be human!

This suspicion gained acceptance from many, though lacking evidence, some even thought they were aliens, wondering how they could have so much advanced technology otherwise?

At this moment, Mu Shanshan and the high-level executives decided to retire!

This decision would undoubtedly shock the world, causing some loss to the Mu Group, yet now the topic couldn’t be avoided any longer since it’s been such a long time, year after year. A hundred years later, if Mu Shanshan continued to appear in front of people and still looked like she was twenty, by then it would be disastrous.

One can’t even imagine the shocking expressions of people a hundred years later.

So, the high-ups decided to retire! Anyway, Lin An has grown up and can take over the management of the Mu Group.

Although Lin An disagreed, he knew this problem was unavoidable and would come sooner or later, so he could only agree with Mu Shanshan and their decision.

"If all of you retire at once, can Lin An manage it on his own?" Lin Fei was a bit worried.

"Don’t worry, Keke will help Lin An. Keke’s academic qualifications are at a world-class level, and her intelligence is much higher than Lin An’s. With her help, there will definitely be no problem," Mu Shanshan said.

"Alright, since that’s the case, we’ll go with what you want. Anyway, once you retire, there’ll be more time to spend with me, hahaha." Lin Fei said, hugging two people on his left and two on his right, and laughed heartily.

But right after that, he felt someone pinching his waist, and he immediately looked at Xia Xue and asked, "Xia Xue, was it you?"

Xia Xue replied blankly, "What are you talking about?"

Lin Fei gazed mischievously at Xia Xue, "You’re still pretending, I’ll make you stop pretending." After saying this, Lin Fei pounced on Xia Xue.

Xia Xue moved swiftly, dodging Lin Fei’s pounce, and hid behind the other women. Finally, when Lin Fei pounced at Xia Xue again, he landed on a woman pushed by Xia Xue.

"Qingfeng?"

Lin Fei ended up on top of Qingfeng, looking at her, her face turning bright red as the other women left the room.

Qingfeng was brought home by Lin Fei the last time he returned, but it seemed she still hadn’t fully integrated with everyone, though that was only a matter of time.

"Shall we cultivate?"
