"Old master, what can I do for you?"
Huang Baoding opened the door and asked, puzzled.
Because of Song Yun's status, many people dreamt of instant success, hoping to gain the favor of the richest man in Magic Capital every day.
Some daring souls, having gotten hold of certain information from who knows where, even had the audacity to come knocking directly, and had it not been for Huang Baoding and the others forcibly ejecting them, those people would have pitched tents right at the doorstep.
"May I ask, is this the home of Magic Capital's richest man, Song Yun?"
The old man asked with a benevolent smile.
Huang Baoding nodded, not understanding, and the next second the old man vanished from his line of sight. Huang Baoding only felt a slap against his chest and then the whole person was tossed into the air, crashing heavily into the flower pond.
A few seconds passed before the pain spread through his entire body. He bit down hard on his teeth and struggled to get up, but the old man walked over slowly and kicked him in the abdomen. Huang Baoding soared like a ball, breaking the second-floor window with his impact.
The loud noise alerted Song Yun, who was in the kitchen. By the time he stepped out into the living room, the other two security personnel were already armed and confronting the old man.
"Boss, run! We'll hold him off for you!"
The two security personnel crouched down, summoning all their strength. The old man had overpowered Huang Baoding without breaking a sweat, and although they admitted to themselves that they were no match for him, their sense of honor continuously reminded them that they were there to alleviate their employer's worries in exchange for their wages!
"So you're Song Yun, huh? You look quite young. I really wish I had your robust body!"
The old man stroked his goatee, with a sharp light flickering in his eyes.
But then it seemed as if he remembered something and concealed the greed in his eyes.
"Who are you!"
Song Yun frowned tightly. He could not gauge the old man's martial prowess, meaning that if they came to blows, he could very likely end up crippled or even dead!
"My identity isn't important. What's important is the item you recently 'acquired'."
The old man extended his hand, smiling amiably as he spoke, "Return the item, and I'll leave immediately."
"If you're looking for trouble, at least find a better excuse! Who doesn't know that I, Song Yun, am the richest man in Magic Capital? If I desire something, surely I wouldn't stoop so low as to steal!"
The old man shook his head and said, "Something blue, you understand?"
"!!!"
The potion!
These were people from behind Yu Shengzong's influence!
They must have learned of Yu Shengzong's arrest, and when they went back to search for the potion hidden behind the stone cabin, they discovered it had vanished!
But their ability to act was alarmingly fast!
Only a few hours had passed, and they had already tracked him down!
"Ding! Mission issued, does the host accept?"
"Accept! Accept! Accept!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for accepting the 'The Line between Life and Death' mission. Please survive in this situation! Until the enemy leaves!"
"Damn it! Are you trying to screw me over?"
"Hubby! What's happened to you!"
Ye Qingqing, wearing her clothes, came downstairs to see Song Yun looking like a broken doll, and she quickly ran over to him.
"Go! Get out of here!"
Song Yun gritted his teeth, enduring the pain as he bellowed.
"Hahaha, it's like taking candy from a baby!"
The old man's gaze towards Ye Qingqing was like that of a predator eyeing its prey. In front of a cunning hunter, even the fiercest and most sly prey could only await its doom!
He rubbed his hands together and, with a sinister smile, charged at Ye Qingqing.
Just as his palm was about to seize her, a pebble shot through the doorway and struck the old man's arm.
The old man grunted in pain and quickly stepped back. After steadying himself, he realized his entire arm was distorted and twisted!
"Who is it?"
The old man stared fiercely at the doorway; only someone proficient could wield a pebble with such deadly skill, surely not a nobody.
"Scram! If you dare trouble my son again, I'll risk my life to uproot you!"
A middle-aged man appeared in everyone's view, dressed in knockoff clothes from a street stall, with 'Patriotic Youth' emblazoned across his T-shirt.
By his side stood an average-looking middle-aged woman with crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
It was Song Yun's parents, who had been traveling abroad!
"Mom and Dad!"
Song Yun exclaimed excitedly, "Quick, save your daughter-in-law!"
"Don't worry, none of you will die now that old man is back."
Song Bu smiled at his son, but when he looked back at the old man, his demeanor suddenly changed, as if a deity had descended, exuding endless majesty!
"Song Bu! You actually dare to return to the country! Hahaha, do you know how long we've been looking for you! Very well, very well!"
The old man burst into maniacal laughter.
Song Bu snorted coldly, stomped his foot, and like an arrow released from a bow, he charged at the old man.
