Chapter 746: Chapter 746

Bian Zhimu was no fool, quite the contrary, he was extremely astute. At this point in time, he had realized that Hua Zhimo dared not confront Ding Fan directly and had left.

A person like Hua Zhimo would never act recklessly without absolute certainty of winning.

"You... you can't kill me..." Bian Zhimu said to Ding Fan.

Only Ding Fan and Bian Zhimu were in the room at that time, and Ding Fan's imposing aura had already caused Bian Zhimu to tremble.

"Can't kill you?" Ding Fan glanced at Bian Zhimu. "I can kill even the son of your sect leader; what makes you think I can't kill you..."

At that moment, Bian Zhimu truly didn't know what to say.

He was merely the adopted son of the Myriad Demon Sect's leader, and if Ding Fan could kill the leader's biological son, how could he spare him?

"Don't kill me, I can help you, I can get you everything you want..." Bian Zhimu hurriedly said.

Ding Fan remained silent, just looking at Bian Zhimu.

Bian Zhimu continued, "I know you have great ambitions, and now that you already have your own force in Mali, I can help you unite Mali and establish your own country there... I have resources and connections, I can secure assistance from The Stars and Stripes Country, I can help you with that..."

In Bian Zhimu's view, his offer would tempt any man, as which man does not covet power. He felt the terms he proposed could definitely save his own life.

However, Bian Zhimu had overlooked one thing.

That was, the people close to Ding Fan, whether wife or friends, were not to be coveted by others.

Bian Zhimu's actions towards Mei Li and Qin Manshu had already sentenced him to death in Ding Fan's eyes.

Without a word, Ding Fan's Wind Blade slashed out directly.

Until the end, Bian Zhimu couldn't believe that his terms had not swayed Ding Fan at all.

Bian Zhimu's body fell straight to the ground.

Mei Li, accustomed to life and death, showed no reaction to the killing of a man.

Right afterwards, Ding Fan went over, searched Bian Zhimu's body, and after some searching, he found a storage ring. Inside the storage ring, there were quite a few Crystal Stones, and some Artifact Refining materials as well.

As for these cultivation resources, Ding Fan naturally took them all without any hesitation. Subsequently, Ding Fan found another item on Bian Zhimu—an invitation.

The craftsmanship of that invitation was quite exquisite; the cover gilded, giving it an ancient and elegant yet grand appearance.

Ding Fan directly opened the invitation.

This month, on the fifteenth, Serpent Island, Ancient Martial Arts competition for martial artists under thirty...

A competition for martial artists under thirty?

Limited by age, Ding Fan pondered for a moment, and soon he remembered something. Hadn't Ruan Yuan mentioned before that their coming to the Immortal Realm was to select disciples to enter the realm?

The chairman of the Longxi Auction had also said before that under the heaven, only those with strong cultivation and young talents could possibly be chosen by immortals.

Ding Fan suspected that this competition on Serpent Island for martial artists under thirty might be a platform for the Immortal Realm to observe young martial artists.

Or perhaps, this competition might very well be organized by immortals.

Right away, Ding Fan pocketed the invitation to the competition.

Handling the aftermath was relatively simple. With a single Fireball Technique, Ding Fan directly burned the villa down.

By now, it was just beginning to dawn. At this time, Ding Fan didn't think it was a good idea to leave Mei Li alone here, so he immediately took Mei Li back to the villa in Zhangzhou with him.

After the two returned to the villa, Ding Fan arranged a room for Mei Li to rest.

As daylight broke, Ding Fan, having nothing else to do, sat in the living room reading the newspaper.

Since his rebirth, Ding Fan often kept up with the news around him; a piece of paper could inform him about much, which was quite convenient.

"Brother Fan… Mu Zi has called you," Qin Manshu said, stepping out of her room in a hoodie.

Although Qin Manshu had not yet washed up, her lazy charm added many points to her appearance, giving even Ding Fan the urge to embrace her and ravage her.

However, as much as Ding Fan was tempted, he couldn't act inappropriately here, especially since the two grandfathers of the Qin family were still there. It would be disrespectful not only to Qin Manshu but also to the Qin family.

Ding Fan took the phone from Qin Manshu's hand. "This is Ding Fan, is that Mu Zi?"

Since the Peach Blossom Female Sect separated, Ding Fan and Mu Zi had not seen each other for some time. Mu Zi, though full of mischief, was not obnoxious.

"Brother Fan, I thought you had forgotten about me!" Mu Zi teased from the other end of the call.

"Alright, Brother Fan, I won't joke with you anymore. Do you know Wang Gang?" Mu Zi's tone on the phone abruptly turned serious.

Mu Zi's playful banter with Ding Fan was typical, but this rare seriousness told Ding Fan that something must have happened.

"I don't know any Wang Gang." Ding Fan didn't recall having met anyone named Wang Gang.

"He's the new deputy team leader who has just joined our 3567 group, now a high-ranking official on par with my grandfather," Mu Zi explained.

Ding Fan then remembered.

Yesterday inside the building, when dealing with the Crimson Flame Spirit Beast, he had indeed seen Deputy Team Leader Wang, hadn't he? However, Deputy Team Leader Wang thought too highly of himself, so Ding Fan didn't have a good impression of him.

"I met him yesterday. Is there a problem?" Ding Fan asked.

"Wang Gang is now searching all over the world for you..." Mu Zi said.

Ding Fan was slightly startled; he didn't know what Wang Gang needed him for. "What does he want from me?"

"He didn't specify the details, but he's been looking for you urgently, even making calls back to headquarters. Elder Shen had no choice but to ask me to contact you..." Mu Zi explained from the other end.

Ding Fan did remember that yesterday when he came down from the building, Wang Gang had looked for him, but he didn't give him face and just turned away and left.

Now, Mu Zi continued over the phone. "Brother Fan, Wang Gang said that once you're contacted, you should go to the International Hotel. He has a room there and has something to discuss with you."

Ding Fan pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, I will head over in an hour. By the way... what's the story with this Deputy Team Leader Wang?"

Deputy Team Leader Wang seemed to be in his thirties, but his position was exceptionally high, equal even to Elder Mu.

"Brother Fan, Deputy Team Leader Wang indeed comes from a significant background. His father was formerly the fourth head of state in Huaxi Country. When Wang Gang was very young, his father sent him abroad to study Ancient Martial Arts...

Wang Gang's father passed away last year. Before passing, he wished to position his son in the military. Considering the fourth head of state's lifelong monumental contributions to the nation, the leaders decided to place Wang Gang in Group 3567 as a deputy team leader... in a way, this served to console the noble spirit of the fourth head of state..."

Ding Fan nodded after hearing this. So it turned out that he was a son of a distinguished family.

However, after meeting Wang Gang, Ding Fan couldn't seem to see the temperament of a military family's tiger offspring on Wang Gang.

Ding Fan and Mu Zi exchanged some idle chatter, then finally hung up the phone.

"What's happened?" Qin Manshu asked, concerned.

Ding Fan shook his head slightly.

"It seems Group 3567 has some business. They want me to take a look..." Ding Fan said nonchalantly, not wanting to worry Qin Manshu.

"Then I won't wait to greet the two grandfathers of the Qin family. I'm heading to the International Hotel now," Ding Fan said.

Ding Fan had serious matters to attend to, so Qin Manshu didn't cling to him.

Ding Fan got ready and then left the house.

The distance from Ding Fan's location to the International Hotel wasn't too far; after a car ride of less than forty minutes, Ding Fan had already arrived at the International Hotel.

As Ding Fan was thinking of asking the front desk about the situation, someone started calling his name.

Ding Fan turned around and saw Zhang Xu waiting at the hotel entrance.

Ding Fan immediately walked over.

"Instructor Ding, Deputy Team Leader Wang has already found a private room upstairs. Let's head up," Zhang Xu said.

"What's the matter?" Ding Fan asked.

To find him, they directly made a call to Group 3567's headquarters.

"It seems to be some assignment, but I don't know the specifics," Zhang Xu said.

Zhang Xu was a straightforward person. If he really knew anything, he wouldn't hide it from Ding Fan, so Ding Fan followed Zhang Xu into one of the private rooms.

Zhang Xu knocked on the door before inviting Ding Fan inside.

Upon entering the private room, Ding Fan noticed the lavish decor; the International Hotel was the best in Zhangzhou, and the room Wang Gang had chosen was naturally not lacking.

Inside the private room, Wang Gang was sitting at a round table, consuming steak and sipping red wine.

"Instructor Ding, please have a seat," Wang Gang said after taking a sip of red wine and wiping his mouth.

Ding Fan didn't stand on ceremony and simply took a seat.

Wang Gang then lit a cigar, enjoying a puff before addressing Ding Fan. "Brazilian cigars are excellent; would you like one?"

"No need. What did you want to see me about?" Ding Fan asked indifferently.

"Today we've located a major criminal who Group 3567 has been wanting for decades, and now the country needs manpower, so I wanted to draft you for this mission," Wang Gang said authoritatively from his chair.

Ding Fan looked at this Wang Gang impassively. Follow current novᴇls on 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍

It wasn't just that Wang Gang was a deputy team leader of Group 3567, even when Elder Shen, the overall in-charge of the Group, needed him, he used the word 'please.'

Wang Gang certainly had quite an air of authority.

"If that's all, then I will be leaving," Ding Fan said as he promptly stood up, showing no regard for Wang Gang at all.

"Instructor Ding, what attitude is this? Don't forget, you're a member of Group 3567. If there's a task for you and you refuse, that's insubordination. I have the right to arrest you," Wang Gang almost roared.

One should know, being the deputy team leader of Group 3567 was a position of substantial authority. Most people who met Wang Gang were extremely obsequious to him.

Yet now, not only did Ding Fan not consider him important, but he was also turning to leave. This was too much of a slight on Wang Gang's face. At this moment, Wang Gang was fuming.

"I'd like to see how you plan to arrest me," Ding Fan said disdainfully.
