"Interesting, Anti-Martial Armor-Piercing Bullet? It seems that now some superpowers are starting to invent weapons specifically targeting Martial Arts Experts. Indeed, no matter how invincible one is, enhancing one's strength is always a good thing," Lin Mo sat on the plane to Shanghai, eyes slightly closed, silently thinking to himself.
In the afternoon, Lin Mo arrived in Shanghai.
He had just returned to the Yang Family.
When Xia Mengdie saw him return, she revealed a sweet smile, her pretty eyes filled with the expectant look of a wife waiting for her husband's return. She said, "Mo, you're back, hurry and wash your hands for dinner. Today I made you Shanghai's tastiest hairy crabs."
The dining table was filled with a rich lunch. Lin Mo looked at Xia Mengdie with a hint of guilt in his eyes. These past days, his trips to New Russia, annihilating Blood Prison, and stepping into the Qu Family had delayed him quite some time, so much so that the time they spent together had become much less.
Right after lunch, a military-green jeep arrived at the villa's gate. A military officer stepped out, stood at attention, and saluted, "Chief Instructor Lin, hello. I am the bodyguard from Dragon Emperor's side. Dragon Emperor wishes for you to pay him a visit."
Lin Mo glanced at him and slightly raised his head, "The Dragon Emperor is also in Shanghai?"
"Yes, the Dragon Emperor has come to Shanghai because of some matters and wishes to invite Chief Instructor Lin for a meeting."
Lin Mo looked at him and nodded slightly, "Alright, since I am the Chief Instructor of Sky Group, it is necessary for me to meet the Dragon Emperor."
When Lin Mo followed the bodyguard to an ancient-looking courtyard, he found not only the Dragon Emperor and Mystic King but also two military-clad individuals, a man and a woman, sitting inside.
The woman he remembered; she was Luo Yu from the Emperor Group. As for the elderly man sitting in a chair, dressed in plain military attire without any insignia on his shoulders, Lin Mo could tell at a glance that the old man bore an aura of profound experience and depth, even deeper than that of the Dragon Emperor.
Apparently, his status might be much higher than that of the Dragon Emperor.
"Mr. Lin." Seeing Lin Mo arrive, figures like Mystic King, Tiger King, Phoenix King, and others showed respectful expressions.
"Mr. Lin, we meet again," said Luo Yu, looking at Lin Mo.
The Dragon Emperor, with a ruddy face and full of vitality, said, "Chief Instructor Lin has arrived. This gentleman here is Minister Shangguan from the Emperor Group."
Lin Mo looked at the elderly man seated in the place of honor and said, "Lin Mo."
Minister Shangguan nodded, appreciation flashing in his narrowed eyes, "Our great Huaxia indeed has an abundance of talented young people. Very good, very good. To have such strength and cultivation at your age, truly impressive, to the extent that I, an old man, must admit feeling inferior."
Luo Yu then quietly stepped beside Lin Mo and whispered, "Mr. Lin, this man is our Emperor Group's Minister Shangguan. He also helped you out with the matter at the Qu Family."
Lin Mo nodded, then turned to Minister Shangguan, "May I inquire why I have been summoned?"
"I sought you out not for the affair of the Qu Family but simply to meet you," spoke Minister Shangguan, seemingly able to read Lin Mo's thoughts.
However, similarly, he was also deeply shocked. Having lived nearly eighty years, experienced a vast array of people, and witnessing the nation's ebbs and flows, he was a true big shot. But upon seeing Lin Mo, he couldn't see through the young man's heart at all.
On the side, Luo Yu opened up her laptop and said to Lin Mo, "Actually, we invited Chief Instructor Lin here today because of this matter."
"What is this?" Tiger King couldn't help but ask curiously.
Luo Yu didn't speak, her fingers danced over the keyboard like playing the piano. Swiftly, strings of green code cascaded down, and she soon logged into a webpage.
"This is the Dark Web, where all the world's assassins and strong fighters convene," Luo Yu pointed at the page, "Look at this, Lin Mo has been listed by the Hunters, with a bounty of fifty billion. The assassin world has gone mad for it."
Mystic King and the others saw Lin Mo's name hung high and marked in red, their faces suddenly revealing surprise.
"Is it possible to find out who posted the bounty?" asked Lin Mo with a cold gleam in his eyes.
Minister Shangguan shook his head, "It's unclear for now. Even America's top hacker teams can't breach this website. The information we can obtain is very limited. But Chief Instructor Lin, you must be careful. Fifty billion isn't a small sum, and many would kill you for that money."
Lin Mo smiled faintly, not taking it to heart, "In this past year, I, Lin Mo, have offended countless individuals. If they wish to come, I will be ready to welcome them. Worst case scenario, I'll just have to instill fear in the entire international assassin community."
Minister Shangguan added, "Normally, foreign assassin organizations shouldn't dare enter Huaxia since our Huaxia Security Bureau has been cracking down hard recently. But you must be wary of Godslayer Temple and Soul Destruction; these two assassin organizations rank in the world's top ten."
"Mhm," Lin Mo nodded.
Minister Shangguan sighed, a trace of concern on his face, "Furthermore, according to investigations by the Imperial Group Intelligence Bureau, some ancient hidden Sects and orders are gradually emerging. You know, since the birth of nuclear weapons after World War II, these organizations were deterred, but now they are slowly surfacing, and I have a bad feeling."
Lin Mo chuckled softly, "No need to worry! If anyone offends Huaxia, I will certainly execute them!"
While Lin Mo was a highly powerful cultivator, after all, he was a son of Huaxia, and he wouldn't allow anyone to bully his country.
"Chief Instructor Lin, well said. Those who offend Huaxia will certainly be executed," Minister Shangguan looked at Lin Mo with great approval.
His purpose in making the long trip to meet Lin Mo was also to ascertain Lin Mo's intentions. After all, Lin Mo possessed too much strength, which could potentially pose a great threat if misused. But now, by understanding Lin Mo's character, he felt that Lin Mo held the heart of a guardian, typical of the descendants of Yanhuang, and he couldn't help but be filled with respect.
