Chapter 711: Chapter 711

Old Wei looked at Lin Chen, "Kid, I gave you face yesterday because you saved the lady, don't push your luck and force me to take action."

Lin Chen replied with a faint smile, "Old Wei, I'm also giving face to Ah Shi, so it's best you do not make things difficult for me, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."

A fierce look crossed Old Wei's face, "Lin Chen, it seems you really want to oppose Miss Ah Shi?"

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Of course not. I don't care about your gang disputes. I'm just running a clubhouse. What you do outside, the fighting and killing, I don't care about, but once you come to my place, you must abide by the rules here. Anyone who enters is a guest, and it's my duty to protect them."

"Haha, boy, you've got quite the audacity," Old Wei sneered.

He turned to the dozen or so men in black behind him and said coldly, "Go, bring back Pei Lai to me."

Upon hearing his command, the men in black moved and pounced towards the clubhouse.

Lin Chen let out a cold snort and handed Pei Lai to Wei Ling behind him, then leapt down from the steps.

These dozen men in black all exuded a powerful aura, and Lin Chen noted they were all experts.

However, Lin Chen was utterly unfazed, his figure flashed like lightning, appearing in front of one of the men in black.

The man's eyes sharpened, Lin Chen's speed was too fast; just a moment ago, he was several meters away, but in the blink of an eye, he appeared right in front of him.

Before the man could react, Lin Chen kicked out.

The man in black was sent flying several rolls by Lin Chen's kick, landing right in front of Old Wei.

Old Wei's eyes narrowed as he roared, "All of you, attack at once."

The dozen men charged at Lin Chen like tigers descending a mountain.

Accompanied by a series of muffled sounds, Lin Chen kicked out like a gust of wind, sending the dozen men flying one after the other.

What especially shocked Old Wei was the precise locations where these men fell, almost as if they were arrayed in a pattern, right before him.

Clearly, Lin Chen was warning him.

The dozen subordinates charged forward quickly and returned just as fast.

Watching his men writhing in pain at his feet, Old Wei's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Kid, it seems you are determined to oppose Miss Ah Shi. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being heartless," he said.

With those words, Old Wei's Spiritual Energy suddenly burst forth, emitting a terrifying aura that instantly made the surrounding air as cold as frost.

Lin Chen felt Old Wei's formidable aura and raised an eyebrow slightly—it was the peak of the Dan Yuan Realm.

Any ordinary martial artist would have been overwhelmed by such a powerful presence, but Lin Chen let out a cold snort, and a similar aura emanated from him, neutralizing Old Wei's aura.

When Old Wei saw that Lin Chen remained unaffected by his powerful presence, a slight smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Boy, you're indeed somewhat capable. Let's see what makes you so confident," he said.

As soon as the words fell, Old Wei's figure left an afterimage, his palm surging with cold as he struck towards Lin Chen's shoulder.

Lin Chen stepped to the side, dodging Old Wei's icy palm.

In the next instant, Old Wei's palm condensed into an ice blade, slashing towards Lin Chen's throat.

Lin Chen evaded Old Wei's ice blade once again, which then pierced the wall behind Lin Chen.

Old Wei's ice blade left a deep crack in the wall.

Having dodged two of Old Wei's attacks, Lin Chen began to counterattack.

Flames surged in Lin Chen's palm, clashing with Old Wei's icy palm.

Thud thud thud, both men took four or five steps back.

Old Wei's expression hardened; he had not expected this young man to be so strong.

Lin Chen and old Wei struck palms, with Lin Chen's body surging forward once more.

Their movements became faster and faster, yet old Wei's expression grew increasingly grave.

Because he realized that Lin Chen's Spiritual Energy seemed inexhaustible, growing stronger as the battle waged on.

And with the constant clashes with Lin Chen, he was beginning to feel more and more strained.

"Could this guy be a monster?"

Once again, their fists and palms collided.

This time, Lin Chen staggered three steps back while old Wei was pushed six or seven steps back.

With a faint smile, Lin Chen said, "Old Wei, you're getting on in years, it seems you're somewhat lacking in strength."

"Kid, let's go again!" Old Wei clenched his teeth and was just about to continue his assault on Lin Chen.

It was then that a Mercedes-Benz sedan suddenly sped over and came to a stop, and a graceful figure stepped out from the car.

"Old Wei, stop," Ah-shi said as she got out of the car, halting old Wei, who was ready to continue fighting Lin Chen to the death.

Lin Chen looked at Ah-shi with a beaming smile, "Well, beauty, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

Ah-shi's gaze locked onto Lin Chen, "Last time you saved me, this time I'll give you face. But next time, we'll be enemies."

With those words, Ah-shi turned to old Wei and said, "Let's go!"

Old Wei glanced at Pei Lai and said with reluctance, "Miss, we were about to catch Pei Lai. If we leave now, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain? Together, we can certainly defeat this kid."

Ah-shi's gaze turned cold, "Didn't you hear what I just said? This matter ends here."

Old Wei stomped his foot in frustration and had no choice but to lead his men away from the club.

Watching Ah-shi leave, Lin Chen felt an indescribable emotion. He sensed that Ah-shi had changed; she was no longer that innocent girl.

Lin Chen walked up to the steps where Pei Lai, looking grateful, said, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for the rescue."

"What's the matter with you, how did you get into conflict with them?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.

"I don't know why, but these guys suddenly attacked my territory. Many of my places have been taken over by them," Pei Lai said in frustration.

"What exactly does Ah-shi want to do? Why are the Black Court Church and the Dark Alliance fighting over the underworld of Man City?"

The most puzzling thing was that Man City had already descended into chaos, but neither the city's police force nor the military seemed to react at all.

Lin Chen said indifferently, "You should take shelter in my club for now. They probably won't come after you again."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin!" Pei Lai breathed a sigh of relief.

That night was one of slaughter for the underworld of Man City. The bosses of the four districts were all killed, and the entire city was undergoing a reshuffle.

Yet all of this seemed to have nothing to do with Lin Chen.

The next morning, Lin Chen went to the company and, upon arriving at the CEO's office, he discovered that Sophina was not there.

Lin Chen paused for a moment, then found the secretary Xiao Ling, "Why hasn't President Sophina come in yet?"

Xiao Ling was also puzzled, "I'm not sure, President Sophina mentioned this morning that she had a family emergency and wouldn't be able to come in."

"Is that so?" Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

They had just secured the Jewelry City project yesterday, and given Sophina's character, she would have definitely called a meeting with the technical department today.

Sophina's sudden absence at such a critical moment definitely indicated a problem.

Lin Chen tried calling Sophina but found her phone was turned off.

Thinking of the upheaval in Man City the day before, Lin Chen had an intuition that something must have happened to the Sophina family. He hurriedly drove towards the Sophina family's manor.
