Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Lin Da left Olin Manor and instead of going home, he rushed to the military dormitory area in the south of the city to meet his father, Lin Jingxuan. "How did it go, what did General Xu say?" Lin Da looked at his father with hope in his eyes. Lin Jingxuan had already used the business card given to him by Lin Rui to add Xu Mengran to his contacts. Upon hearing the question, Lin Jingxuan stared blankly for a long while before responding, "General Xu spoke quite highly of my work at the Military Intelligence Bureau. He said that East Asia has been very dissatisfied with the corruption within the Federation Army, and he could recommend me for a position at the Anti-Corruption Investigation Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau, to serve as its deputy director. After that, he kept asking about Xiao Rui, praising him continuously, saying that Xiao Rui is a junior he greatly admires." What he didn't mention was that Xu Mengran had only asked him about his Military Intelligence Bureau work for ten minutes, his attitude towards East Asia and political leanings for three minutes, and the following ten minutes were all questions about matters relating to Lin Rui. Luckily, Lin Jingxuan had been quite attentive to the child and had spent time with him when he was little; otherwise, he really wouldn't have known how to answer. Hearing this, Lin Da appeared contemplative, "It seems that General Xu is very concerned about Xiao Rui. I wonder how they became acquainted. Could it be through Xiao Rui's teacher, Han Kedao?" At that moment, Lin Jingxuan suddenly became animated and turned on the projection TV, directly jumping to the news channel. "This station has breaking news. This afternoon, the Security Bureau's 'National Security Special Action Center' made a major move, dispatching officers to shut down multiple logistic bases and supply depots belonging to the 'Logistics Department' of the Federation Defense Army at Ninth Base, arresting a significant number of military personnel." "Reliable sources have stated that this action by the 'National Security Special Action Center' is related to the corruption case at logistic base 9412 several months ago. The Security Bureau has found conclusive evidence and has obtained authorization from the 'Security Bureau General' and 'Federation Defense Army General'—" Lin Jingxuan narrowed his eyes, then asked Lin Da, "You just mentioned that Xiao Rui told you the Logistics Department would soon release the final payments for those contracts to your company, right?" "Yes, he did say that!" Lin Da's eyes filled with alarm and doubt, "But this shouldn't have much to do with Xiao Rui, should it?" Lin Jingxuan thought that was hard to say. However, one thing was certain beyond doubt: the current Lin Rui was not only very wealthy but also had a certain amount of influence in both the military and government sectors. That child had even managed to recruit Wang Tianwu, attaining a significant measure of military power. Lin Jingxuan pondered whether the 'Longevity Association' had noticed that Xiao Rui was rising at an astonishing speed? Lin Jingxuan then flipped through a few more news and political commentary programs, all discussing the sudden incident within the military's Logistics Department, suggesting that after the death of 'Ling Huan,' the Security Bureau had begun a forceful crackdown on corruption, aiming to eliminate the remnants of the Divine Illumination Association. They were also discussing the mysterious 'Thunder Admiral', saying that this Admiral, having been recruited to the Security Bureau on extremely generous terms as the 'second-in-command', was very decisive and forceful in his actions, with many achievements since taking office that had drawn worldwide attention. This time, he had even miraculously brought to justice 'Ling Huan,' whom the Earth Federation had pursued for hundreds of years. Some even dug up part of the 'Thunder Admiral's' resume. Out of curiosity, Lin Jingxuan had previously sought information on the 'Thunder Admiral,' but all information on this individual was encrypted at a 3S level. He wondered how these media got ahold of it and weren't afraid that the Security Bureau would come after them? Just then, Lin Jingxuan saw another breaking news update. "Urgent news, just moments ago a sudden incident occurred in our city! The Children's Song Killer, who had vanished for over a month, and his accomplices reappeared, creating a massacre 20 minutes ago." "The incident occurred at a villa in the west of the city, owned by Carl Hoffman, the head of the Black Ring Gang. Just 27 minutes ago, the Children's Song Killer and his accomplices broke into the villa, slaughtering Carl Hoffman and his family of seven, as well as his bodyguards, protectors, and subordinates—a total of five hundred and seventy-one people. Only 40 of the servants and maids in the villa survived—" "In this battle, the Children's Song Killer not only used his signature anesthetic but also employed a large number of combat robots to quickly resolve the fight, reportedly lasting less than 7 minutes. By the time the police arrived, the Children's Song Killer and his accomplices had already evacuated." "—It is reported that the 'Black Ring Gang' is one of the largest gangs in the west of the city, with Carl Hoffman and his family controlling three-tenths of the drug trade in the west, along with a large number of illegal industries." "This Children's Song Killer has emerged again," said Lin Jingxuan, shaking his head, "His power seems to be getting stronger too. A crime boss's villa, with such tight security, and yet to be slaughtered just like that; it seems that You Ming is in trouble." Lin Da thought, wasn't that the truth? You Ming had been on high alert for over a month and couldn't find even a hair of the Children's Song Killer. Now, with just a slight drop in vigilance, the Children's Song Killer made another appearance, wiping out the entire Hoffman family! Lin Da gleefully thought that those gang leaders probably couldn't even sleep now. Those people, holding power in both politics and business, would surely exert all their influence to pressure the Security Bureau and the government. That You Ming, likely doesn't have many good days left. ``` ※※※※ ``` At the same time, on a street within Ninth Base City, Wang Tianwu was driving a vehicle temporarily used for a mission, cruising down the street. His eyes still held a bit of bewilderment, a bit of shock. Wang Tianwu had never imagined that the Children's Song Killer, who made all the gangs in Ninth Base City tremble at the mere mention of his name and who was a topic of much excitement among the citizens, would actually be his own BOSS! Did Xu Mengran know this? He actually introduced him to such a person? However, Lin Rui's expression was one of satisfaction, for tonight he had made a total of 421,113 soul power points! His soul power points pouch was nicely plumped up after just this one evening. How awesome is it to have a Super Emperor of Eight Realms-level illusionist? Just look at tonight's operation to know. The use of Lin Rui's anesthetic combined with Wang Tianwu's illusion magic, didn't take much effort at all; they had only engaged in a few scattered fights before resolving their opponent. Finally snapping back to reality, Wang Tianwu saw the mission reward money immediately transferred into his account and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, thinking since he had signed that Divine Contract, there was no turning back now. What did it matter what Lin Rui's identity was! He himself was riddled with accusations of murder, barely any better. "BOSS, I heard from Gong Hengdao that you also have business on Sky Extreme Star, and I heard it's pretty big scale?" "Mhm," Lin Rui answered nonchalantly: "What are you trying to say?" Wang Tianwu, gripping the steering wheel with a smile plastered over his face, said, "BOSS, my Alien and Battle Dragon are in your hands, right? Can you return them to me? I can serve you on Sky Extreme Star as well. Your Poison Skill is incredible, and if I can combine it with my illusion magic, there wouldn't be many in this world who could stand against us." "Didn't Old Gong tell you? There's still an account to be settled between you and me." Lin Rui laughed silently: "You offended me, naturally there's a price to be paid, and I plan to use that to compensate Fei Yunlai. Although I got his lifetime contract, I still need to give him enough incentive to work willingly for me." An indignant bull might work hard, but it's never as reliable as one that's completely submissive. Wang Tianwu, startled, asked, "When did I ever offend you, BOSS?" "Really? Think about it carefully, it was just these past few days." Lin Rui's lips curved slightly, toying with a temporary-use knife in his hand: "Think about how you ended up in my hands; why would Xu Mengran introduce you to me? Hasn't he told you that Ling Huan's strong spiritual power and illusion magic are ineffective against me? Why do you think that is?" Upon hearing this, Wang Tianwu was initially puzzled, but then his heart began to race violently. Disbelieving, he turned his head to look steadily at Lin Rui. Could it be? Impossible, that's just too absurd! His BOSS, how could he possibly be that Commander of the Spy Detection Bureau from Sky Extreme Star? The future Divine Envoy from Great Song? However, his Alien had been very well-hidden at the time on Sky Extreme Star. Wang Tianwu's intelligence support AI might not be great in combat, but it had a knack for concealment. Moreover, based on the scant information the AI sent to his main body, the state of his Alien and Battle Dragon was pretty bad at the time, their movements stiff and difficult. So it seemed that his Alien must have been unwittingly drugged with anesthetic, but the question was, how did Lin Rui pinpoint his location so precisely? Also, if there's anything in the world that could be fearless against 'Ling Huan's' illusion magic, the 'National Guardian Dragon Seal' would certainly be one of them. Wang Tianwu couldn't help but swallow hard with a 'gulp'. His voice hoarse, he asked, "BOSS, could it be that you are Commander Lin?" "Who else could it be!" Lin Rui flicked the knife in his hand, producing a 'clang' sound: "If it weren't for Fei Yun speaking up for you, I would have chopped off your head that morning and had it with my drink." Wang Tianwu responded with a bitter smile, thinking to himself that he truly owed Fei Yunlai a favor. No wonder Fei Yunlai thought he had been double-crossed by him.
