113 – Two Weeks Later
At this time, Skywater City’s Zhengde Community, at Zhou Tai’an’s blown apart house. Thanks to machinery and construction workers, the house quickly recovered its original appearance. It now looks no different from before.
In this era, 3D printing technology is well developed. As long as you have enough money, a house can be printed in one day. And it can withstand a magnitude 8 earthquake.
“Mr. Zhou Quan.”
At this moment, a middle-aged lawyer in a black suit standing beside the villa said to the middle-aged man with muscled physique and bearded face in front of him: “You are Zhou Ding’s big brother and his only immediate family. Since he died because of an accident, his estate naturally goes to you.”
“If there are no issues, please sign these.”
He took out a stack of legal doc.u.ments.
“I got it.” The middle-aged man called Zhou Quan nodded expressionlessly and signed the stack of legal doc.u.ments quickly.
The middle-aged lawyer nodded: “Okay. Now that you have signed the doc.u.ments, I will take my leave. I will contact you again after the estate is dealt with.”
With this, he turned and left.
As the middle-aged man called Zhao Quan watched the lawyer leave, his face became gloomy at once: “Younger brother, how could you die so early? Which son of a b.i.t.c.h killed you?!”
“No matter who it is, as long as I find their ident.i.ty, I will tear them to pieces and annihilate their close relatives!”
He is seething with anger. When he heard that his younger brother’s villa was destroyed by explosives and that his younger brother’s family perished without leaving intact corpses — corpses couldn’t even be found — he thought he heard wrong.
But when the lawyer called in person and asked him to receive the estate, he was finally convinced that it is true.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, four or five men in black walked over. Judging by their ferocious-looking faces, they aren’t good people.
They came to in front of Zhou Quan and a.s.sumed a respectful att.i.tude, as if they are the other party’s subordinates.
“Boss, I’m done with the investigation. Zhou Ding’s death was indeed strange.”
A man in black uttered in a grave voice: “His death was unmistakably murder. But when we checked the surveillance videos of the whole Zhengde Community, we couldn’t find any clues.”
“Before it exploded, the villa showed no abnormalities.
“The culprit either had excellent technical skill and was able to eliminate all traces on the surveillance videos, or he had strong martial prowess and was able evade the surveillance equipment.”
Zhou Quan snorted coldly, “That’s not what I want to hear! There’s only one thing I want to hear! Who is the murderer?!”
He clenched his fists and trembled. Zhou Ding was his only brother and his sole relative, yet he’s now dead. Zhou Quan can’t accept it.
“I’m sorry, but we need more time. We have no clues for the time being.”
The man in black lowered his head, ashamed: “But as long as we are given some time to investigate the suspects one by one, I believe we’ll be able find the murderer who killed Zhou Ding.”
He didn’t expect the murderer to be so formidable at hiding his traces, to the point that even a tracking expert like him couldn’t find any clues. This is something unprecedented.
“I’ll give you time.”
Zhou Quan gritted his teeth: “But you must catch the d.a.m.n murderer. He must not go unpunished. To kill my, Zhou Quan’s, younger brother, I’ll make his entire family pay for it with their lives!”
“Find all suspects.”
“Rather wrongly catch a thousand than let one go! I’ll make the murderer is scared s.h.i.tless and has horrible nightmares!”
Terrifying baleful aura emanated from him and formidable true qi gushed out at his feet. With a bang, the earth cracked, and a huge pit appeared below his feet. This shows how impressive his cultivation base is.
The men in black were overwhelmed with shock as they felt suffocating pressure a.s.sault them. The man in front of them is a Martial Pract.i.tioner realm powerhouse. Even though he’s just a 1st layer Martial Pract.i.tioner, but if he wants to kill them, it’s as easy as pie!
Once you reach the Martial Pract.i.tioner realm and open up the Baihui acupoint, you’ll be able to externally release true qi. And your attack power will increase ten-fold.
If a Martial Apprentice can rival 10 people, then a Martial Pract.i.tioner can rival 100 or even 1,000 people!
“Yes, boss!”
The men in black nodded with a dignified expression.
“Go.” Zhou Quan waved his hand.
Whoosh!
The men in black exchanged a look and left quickly.
“Younger brother.” Zhou Quan clenched his fists, a cold gleam in his eyes. “I won’t let your death be in vain. No matter what the other party’s background is, I will have him pay with his life.”
…………
Time elapsed. In the blink of an eyes, two weeks have pa.s.sed. Skywater City’s high school martial arts compet.i.tion will soon begin.
For Xia Ping, the past two weeks have been tranquil yet busy. He went to cla.s.s as usual. When he returned home, he entered closed door cultivation and consumed Body Tempering Pills.
In just two weeks, he felt the true qi inside him expand rapidly. He already reached the pinnacle 8th layer Martial Apprentice realm. At the same time, his physical strength has increased, reaching a force of 30,000 catties.
Even his spirit force has become more powerful, further strengthening his cultivation base. The past two weeks weren’t spent in vain.
“Today is the day of Skywater City’s high school martial arts compet.i.tion. I have to prepare.” Xia Ping packed a few things, went out, and headed for the school.
When he reached the school, he saw a bus parked at the school gate. Next to the bus, he spotted some acquaintances, such as Gao Sheng, Hong Yu, Zhu Erqin, Tao Yun, Xiong Batian, and others.
Naturally, Jiang Yaru is also present.
These people are 95th High School top ten experts and they will represent the school in the high school martial arts compet.i.tion.
Xiong Batian was originally only a top 20 expert. But because of Savage Beast Island’s trial by fire, his strength improved by leaps and bounds and he promoted to a 6th layer Martial Apprentice. Consequently, he surpa.s.sed the people in front of him and squeezed into the top 10.
Tao Yun seems to have reached the pinnacle 6th layer Martial Apprentice realm.
“Good morning, guys.”
Xia Ping came forward and greeted.
Good my a.s.s!
The expressions of Xiong Batian and the others darkened and became unsightly, as if they saw some kind of pestilence. If it wasn’t for the fact that they can’t beat this b.a.s.t.a.r.d, they would have pounced on him already.
Even after two weeks, they still remember how this d.a.m.ned scoundrel plotted against them on Savage Beast Island. Because of him, gangsters beat them up for half an hour. They will remember this painful lesson for the rest of their lives.
Without caring about the att.i.tude of these people, Xia Ping turned to look at Jiang Yaru. He was little surprised: “You promoted to 8th layer Martial Apprentice?” He can clearly feel that Jiang Yaru’s aura is different from before.
“Yes, it broke through a week ago.” Jiang Yaru revealed a serene expression. But unlike her outward appearance, she secretly felt elated. She deliberately hid for a week in order to surprise this guy.
You are not the only genius in the world.
