Chapter 487: You Wait and See If You Have the Nerve

Chapter 486 You Wait and See If You Have the Nerve

In an instant, the whole noodle restaurant was filled with gasps of consternation.

No one knew that the young man who looked refined and civilized was so powerful that he just knocked down about half a dozen gangsters with a few slaps as if it was just a game.

In the past year, there had emerged many men with impressive abilities, but it was the first time for those people to see a young man with such neat martial arts skills.

Zhang Junzi felt he was utterly dumbstruck.

He opened his mouth, and all his teeth fell out like a sticky hook that had expired. He knew that he had met a tough guy this time.

However, having been used to being brazen and arrogant, Zhang Junzi subconsciously got more worked up instead of admitting his defeat. He struggled to his feet and then shouted, “Turns out that you are also a fellow in Jianghu. But you just provoked the Longteng Company. In this city, you have to suffer a lot.”

A trace of killing intent flashed through Li Mu’s eyes.

Back in the Divine Land, he had even killed many high-ranking figures, including the emperors. So, to Li Mu, to kill several punks was actually much easier than killing a few ants. But on second thought, he did not feel like doing it. After all, he had returned to Earth, a world governed by laws. Besides, it was not good for him to kill too many people. And if he killed those people in the noodle restaurant, he would also cause trouble for the Zheng family.

“You wait and see.”

Zhang Junzi said cruelly as he was propped up by his men.

“You’re screwed. Don’t think that you can afford to provoke the Longteng Company just because you know how some martial arts.”

“Let’s go back to find Brother Tie and seek revenge.”

“Keep an eye on him in case he runs for it.”

“Little bastard, you want to be a hero, don’t you? Let me tell you, don’t leave if you have the guts. If you leave this place, Old Zheng and his family will be finished.”

The gangsters growled in wrath.

They had gotten used to being a bully within hundreds of miles around. Because of the strong force behind them, even the police would not easily upset them. So, after being disgraced like that, how could they quietly take with the insult?

Li Mu picked up a chair and sat at the door of the noodle restaurant. He said, “Well, don’t say that I didn’t give you a chance. You will have, let’s say, one hour to get help. Bring whoever you can summon. You know what, in my eyes, that fu*king Longteng Company is nothing at all.”

“Good, you do have some balls.” Zhang Junzi rubbed his cheeks, took out a cellphone, and dialed a number right away.

Li Mu reckoned that things could not go better. If the Longteng Company was really a scourge that housed all kinds of evil and sins, he might as well eradicate it in one breath.

When he went off the Vanguard, he lost his bearings and ran in the wrong direction. That was how he came to Jade Gate City. Tempted by the local food, he wanted to have something to eat first and then go to Baoji City to find the old faker. But to his surprise, he got himself in such a mess.

Anyway, it would not take too much time to fix it. So, he decided to deal with the matter at first hand.

“How could that be true?”

In the main meeting room, Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

After listening to the reports of Su Cuo and Song Changlin, the high-level military officers and experts present looked at one another speechlessly.

Had it not been that they had done all kinds of spiritual appraisal, and confirmed that these two people’s identities and minds were normal, they would probably think that the two were crazy after listening to their stories.

From the disappearance of the Vanguard 30 years ago to everything the team members had experienced on that alien planet, and to the end that people of the Soul Sect were killed, and the science team was rescued by a young man named Li Mu… Their stories were almost as unbelievable as those in fantasy movies.

Were there really immortals who could fly across the sky and overturn the sea in this world?

Lu Bing, the lieutenant-general, took a deep breath.

He had had a vague feeling that as the Vanguard returned after it had mysteriously disappeared for 30 years, the news it brought back might be very shocking. However, he did not expect that it could be so incredible.

Even so, his intuition told him that what Su Cuo and Song Changlin just reported was the truth.

For one thing, the two, after missing for 30 years, did not seem to have aged when they came back. Their appearance and body functions did not change at all, as if they had been out for just 30 days. That was enough to shed light on many problems side-on.

However, the information must be kept a secret.

Otherwise, once it was leaked, it would cause an earth-shattering disturbance in human society. If this went wrong, the organized society that had been painstakingly built through thousands of years by civilizations would be destroyed.

“Li Mu, the teenager you mentioned, has already left the spaceship before the landing? How did he leave?” An expert could not help but inquire.

Song Changlin said, “Mu has the same ability as an immortal. At that time, we just saw a blur, then, he already disappeared.”

“Is he really that powerful?” Doubted another person.

Su Cuo said, “His power is much more terrifying than we imagined. Words have failed me in describing his strength to the full extent. In that world, he is invincible. After we broke away from the control of the Soul Sect, we found some information about him in the last month we stayed there.”

In the meeting room, there was another sound of gasping.

Many people found the fact hard to accept.

That Li Mu sounded just like a superman who was able to do anything.

Once this kind of man got out of control, he would bring a great disaster. Even the state regime could be overturned in an instant. His destructive power could be comparable to a nuclear bomb. Hence, Li Mu was definitely a hidden danger that could not be ignored.

Su Cuo, the beautiful member of the imperial examination team, obviously understood what those leaders were thinking. So, she said very solemnly, “General, and all the leaders, I suggest that no matter what happens, we should not make an enemy out of Li Mu, nor should we try to control him. That man possesses the kind of power that is beyond our imagination.”

Lu Bing gave a bitter smile and nodded. Then, he remarked, “Well, you two go and take a rest first. The military has contacted your family and has sent people to pick them up. You can stay in the base for the time being and don’t go anywhere else, for this matter is of great importance. I hope you can understand.”

With that, Su Cuo and Song Changlin were led out of the meeting room.

At the door, Song Changlin whispered, “Su, will Mu be alright?”

Su Cuo shook her head and did not say more.

She was not really worried about Li Mu, but that some leaders might look at the problem from the ordinary angle and try to control or restrain Li Mu. That would, in turn, push Li Mu to the opposite side, which would be extremely dangerous.

In the meeting room.

Lu Bing’s eyes swept over the 30 people present at the meeting and announced, “Everyone, everything about the Vanguard will be classified as a top-secret. It can’t be disclosed to anyone else. The head of the strategic support department is on the way here, and the commanding group will be set up as soon as possible. Please perform your duties well. From now on, everyone in the base is forbidden to go out… Now the meeting will be dismissed!”

Then, everyone got up and left in a mood in which it was hard to describe.

Lu Bing sat alone in the meeting room, rubbing his temples and musing.

A moment later, Zhou Qi, the young military secretary, came in and reminded him in a low voice, “Head, Commander Fan of the strategic support department will soon arrive. It’s time to go out and welcome him.”

Lu Bing nodded and stood up. “Where is the 68th army?”

“The 68th army has set off from the station after receiving the transfer order as soon as possible. In half an hour, they will arrive at the base. Within four hours, they could complete the arrangement and defense. At that time, the place with a radius of 25 kilometers around the base will become a forbidden military area that allows no one to enter or exit.” Zhou Qi said, handing over some files.

Lu Bing nodded. In fact, he was under a lot of pressure at the moment.

The other major countries had already learned about the story of the Vanguard. As the imperial examination team members were from various major countries like the US, Germany, and the UK, it was just impossible to keep the matter a secret.

The appearance of the Vanguard might have no effect on ordinary people in a short period of time.

But for those major countries, it meant a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The documents and resources in the spacecraft were enough to make the whole Earth go crazy.

A few hours ago, all the major countries had already sent out notes through their foreign consulate. They not only requested to bring their members back but also asked China to hand over the Vanguard to allow the other countries to conduct research together.

A war without gunpowder smoke had already begun.

Soon, all forms of diplomatic negotiations, as well as the secret spy war, would be carried out around the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. Therefore, they could not afford to make any mistake.

It was a matter that might influence the fate of the country in the next millennium.

A storm was brewing.

Gu Chenggong, the Invincible Iron Palm, was one of the four managers of security guards in the Longteng Company. The masses had called him and the other three powerful martial arts experts the “Four King Kongs” of Longteng Company.

He was born in Cangzhou, Hebei Province. Since he was a child, he had started learning martial art called Iron Palm. Since the rule in his family forbade anyone outside to learn Iron Palm, the art had been passed down from generation to generation within the family.

However, his grandfather and father, who had practiced the Iron Palm for a lifetime, had failed to master it. Moreover, their hands had turned into big black balls of meat because of their practice and so became useless. After the hospital’s examination, the doctor said that their hands had muscle necrosis and were already dilated. Therefore, the Gu family’s Iron Palm Art was just a laughingstock in the neighboring villages.

When Gu Chenggong was a child, his father forced him to practice the Iron Palm.

For that matter, the father and son almost turned against each other.

From an early age, Gu Chenggong thought that the damn Iron Palm was just a prank. Even his mother opposed his son’s practice. She was afraid that his palm would also be harmed. Later on, because of that matter, his parents divorced. But that did not prevent his father from teaching his son the family art. Under his father’s coercion, Gu Chenggong continued practicing the Iron Palm for 10 years.

His hands were also severely deformed after the practice.

Later, when he grew up, he ran away from home and went to work on the southern border. It was not until then that he got out of his father’s control.

But for some unknown reason, he suddenly found that he had actually mastered the Iron Palm. His hands had roughly returned to normal, and he could now bare-handedly break bricks and stones, snap steel pipes, and even leave a handprint on the steel plate with just one slam. Furthermore, the power of his hands was getting stronger and stronger.

In a quarrel, he accidentally killed someone and since then became a fugitive.

After that, he fled to Gansu Province. At the end of his rope, he hid in the Longteng Company and was put in an important position. Later, he showed his impressive power and made a few great contributions to the company. He was promoted several times and finally became one of the “Four King Kongs” of the company. His status soared, and he had countless money and beauties to please himself.

So, when Gu Chenggong heard that his hatchet men had been beaten, and the other party even said that the Longteng Company was way beneath him, he took his men and drove to the scene as fast as he could.

But when he met the culprit, he was astonished to find that the “tough guy” that had injured members of the company was actually a boy at the age of 18 or 19 in sportswear.

“He looks like a sports student at a university. He didn’t have any menacing air at all. How could he count as a tough guy?”

“Director Gu, it’s him.” Zhang Junzi accused, rubbing his cheeks.

“A bunch of good-for-nothings.” Gu Chenggong scolded. Then, he talked to Li Mu and sneered, “I thought you must be some ferocious man who has survived big troubles and so dare to look down upon our Longteng Company. Hehe, it turns out to be a wild sparrow. How dare you play a ferocious eagle? Kid, if you break one of your hands today, the price will be paid, and I’ll let you go immediately.”
