“Mr Luo, someone wants to see you.” This was Old Man Ye’s phone call.
“Oh? Who?” Luo Chen answered the call.
“People from above.” Ye Zhengtian said.
“Mm, alright.” Luo Chen did not ask anything else, nor did he ask why they wanted to see him.
This answer immediately put Ye Zhengtian in a difficult position.
“Mr Luo, if it’s convenient for you, why don’t you come over? They are waiting here with me.” Ye Zhengtian gave a wry smile as he spoke.
“Not convenient. Tell them for me, if they want to see me, they can come find me themselves. I don’t have time to meet irrelevant people.”
Luo Chen hung up directly. It was not that he refused to give Ye Zhengtian face, but he was not some idle person who had to go see whoever called him.
Besides, that was just Luo Chen’s temper. If he really got unhappy, he did not care whether you were from above or below. Even if you were from the heavens, if Luo Chen was not in the mood, he would not go.
Ye Zhengtian tried his best to convey the message politely to the man and woman in front of him.
“Hmph, what a big attitude!” The man sat bolt upright, giving off a swift and decisive air, with a fierce aura all over him.
“Coach Feilong, he is someone personally named by Principal Su. You should still…”
“Hmph, I don’t care whether Principal Su named him or not. I, Feilong, only recognise fists. We can go see him, but he had better not disappoint me too much. Otherwise, he will regret it!” Feilong snorted coldly.
The woman helplessly shook her head.
“Thank you, Old Ye. Sorry to trouble you.” The woman stood up, then left together with the man.
“Grandpa?” Ye Shuangshuang was a bit displeased beside him. This man was too much. He was asking for a favour, yet he acted so arrogant.
“Hehe, once they go find Mr Luo, perhaps they won’t be so wild anymore.” Ye Zhengtian held his teacup and smiled, showing no worry at all.
“Feilong, you should still be a bit more polite later.” In the car, the woman reminded him again.
“Hmph, I still don’t understand why Principal Su values him so much. He’s just a young man. No matter how capable he is, how strong can he really be?” Feilong clearly looked down on Luo Chen.
The woman could not really argue back. Although Feilong was arrogant, he had the right to be.
He was a master of Xingyi Quan, proficient in both internal and external aspects. Ordinary special forces soldiers, even several of them, were no match for him. He protected important figures.
Soon the car arrived at Sea Moon Residence. The two took the lift, rang the doorbell. Luo Chen opened the door. From their aura alone, he knew these two were the “people from above” that Ye Zhengtian had mentioned.
After entering the room, before Luo Chen could even invite them to sit, Feilong spoke with clear contempt.
“Not much to look at, huh? No presence at all!”
“What?” Luo Chen turned back in confusion.
“I said you’re nothing special. Want to have a fight?”
“Feilong!” The woman scolded him.
“Boss, it’s the truth. With his level, he can’t possibly be that strong.” Feilong’s eyes were full of disdain.
“You want to fight me?” Luo Chen asked.
“Yeah, because I think you’re not…”
But in an instant, Feilong could not speak anymore. Luo Chen’s aura had changed. An extremely oppressive pressure spread from him. Even though it was a hot day, the room suddenly felt freezing cold.
And this oppressive aura grew heavier and heavier. Even the woman could feel it.
Feilong felt it even more clearly. It was as if a暴龙 stood before him, a prehistoric beast. Forget moving to fight. He could not even lift a single finger. Just standing in front of Luo Chen already felt like using every ounce of his strength.
“My subordinate was ignorant. Sorry. Please, Mr Luo, show mercy.” The woman hurriedly apologised. Sweat had already appeared on her forehead. The pressure from Luo Chen was too great. She had only ever felt this kind of pressure from Lin Hualong.
Sweat dripped down the man’s face one drop after another. His knees had begun to tremble.
Luo Chen gave a cold snort, then withdrew his aura.
“Sorry, sorry, Mr Luo. I was blind and ignorant.” Feilong put away his arrogance. Are you kidding? With that aura just now, forget fighting. He did not even dare move. It felt like a rabbit being stared down by a tiger.
“Next time you say something like that, you might not get the chance to apologise.” Luo Chen casually sat down on the sofa himself, without inviting the two to sit.
“Mr Luo, the reason we came this time…”
“Not interested, and I don’t want to hear it. Please leave.” Luo Chen looked displeased.
These two had surely come to ask him for something. But coming to ask for a favour with this attitude instantly made Luo Chen unhappy. Since he was unhappy, why should he bother with them?
The woman glared fiercely at Feilong, clearly blaming him for causing trouble.
“Mr Luo, please forgive our rudeness just now. We came with a mission this time. Please be magnanimous.” The woman was good at socialising.
“We came to ask Mr Luo to protect someone.”
“Not interested. The door is over there. You can go.” Luo Chen sneered again, interrupting the woman once more, and issued another order to leave.
Who did they think he was?
Asking him to be a bodyguard? How could that be possible?
“Mr Luo, please give us a chance to finish speaking.” The woman also felt a headache, but the more it was like this, the more she had to get the job done. After all, this was a task assigned from above.
“We have no interest in protecting your big shots or leaders.” Luo Chen still refused.
“Mr Luo, you misunderstood. The person we want to protect this time is a student.”
“Find someone else.”
“Mr Luo, we already sent five people, but without exception, all five were sacrificed. And the person being protected is a bit special. Not a leader, but someone from the technical department working on fighter jet research for China.”
“He was kidnapped abroad. We are trying to rescue him, but here in the country, his daughter has also been targeted. The kidnappers want to use his daughter to threaten him and force him to talk.”
“I know someone like you, Mr Luo, would disdain protecting big shots. But please consider that this is helping a person who has made great contributions to the nation, and also helping a child’s father.” The woman spoke very sincerely.
“Also, once this is done, we will give this item to Mr Luo as extra reward.” As she spoke, the woman took out a crystal-clear seed.
It was only the size of a thumb, but Luo Chen’s heart stirred at once. His brow lifted slightly.
Because this was a perfectly intact seed, transparent in colour, with a strange energy fluctuation on it.
“We know Mr Luo has an interest in this kind of thing.” The woman placed the seed in front of Luo Chen.
