Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

Lu Haotian on the phone end pondered for a moment, his voice turned raspy as he spoke,

"Mr. Lin, I'm not sure whether I should say this or not."

"Speak!"

Lu Haotian clenched his teeth and said in a deep voice,

"Mr. Lin, you might not be aware, but that Sword Saint, Yuan Qingtian, is not as simple as you imagine."

"So what?"

"Mr. Lin, the fact is that Yuan Qingtian is now ranked fifth on the Emperor List!"

"That Yuan Qingtian killed both Zhou Nancheng, who was ranked sixth, and Mo Baxin, who was originally fifth, three months ago."

"And the rankings of the Emperor List were updated a month ago. Now, Yuan Qingtian is ranked fifth!"

"Do you know what this means?"

"That Yuan Qingtian, besides the four most top-tier Martial Venerates of Huaxia, is feared by everyone under the heavens as no match for him!"

"Moreover, his Beidou Seven Stars Sword Technique has reached a mystical and unfathomable realm. It's said that his sword is not easily unsheathed, but once it is, the opponent is doomed to certain death!"

Lin Mo simply laughed,

"The same words as before, let him clean his neck, as I have said, those who want to kill me only have one outcome! And that is to report to Hell!"

"Mr. Lin, I'm genuinely worried about you..." Lu Haotian hesitated before stopping.

"Lu Haotian, you've followed me for so long, you should be very clear that in this world, there is no one who can kill me. And one more thing, since that Yuan Qingtian so wishes to kill me, do you think I would spare his dog life?"

"Even if he doesn't come to kill me, I will annihilate him sooner or later!"

Lin Mo's voice, even through the distance, sent chills down Lu Haotian's spine as if he were standing at the Top of the Arctic. He then said with a trembling voice,

"I understand, Mr. Lin!"

After wrapping up company matters, Lin Mo returned to Qingye High School.

Time flew by, and soon, it was time for the school to let out in the afternoon.

Lin Mo packed his things and left the classroom.

Outside the classroom, a beautiful figure was already waiting for him.

"Lin Mo..."

Cheng Miaohan was brimming with joy; in fact, this was the first time Lin Mo had been a bit nicer to her.

Though it was just a slight improvement, Cheng Miaohan was overjoyed simply because Lin Mo had agreed to celebrate her birthday with her.

Seeing Lin Mo still wearing his usual cold expression, Cheng Miaohan didn't mind in the slightest.

Cheng Miaohan and Lin Mo walked towards the school gate together, instantly igniting the envy of countless boys and girls.

The boys were incredibly envious of Lin Mo, while the girls were quite jealous of Cheng Miaohan.

Despite the watchful gazes of many, Cheng Miaohan's cheeks flushed with color, but she didn't mind at all.

Especially while walking beside Lin Mo's tall, slender figure, her heart inexplicably began to race.

Even she didn't know what was going on.

At that moment, at the school gate, Wu Mingzhe, Zhou Yitao, Su Xinhe, and Yang Miaomiao were all waiting for Cheng Miaohan.

"Little Princess, could you be any slower?"

"Today is your birthday, after all."

"Come on, let's hurry. We'll give you a proper celebration later."

Soon, the group was chatting and laughing on their way to Tianxing Hotel.

Seeing Cheng Miaohan happily following Lin Mo, both Wu Mingzhe and Zhou Yitao were green with envy. However, after receiving a cold glance from Lin Mo, they dared not show any resentment or displeasure.

Especially after meeting Lin Mo's cold gaze, they felt as though they had fallen into an ice cave, and it was nearly impossible for them to breathe smoothly.

As for Su Xinhe, she didn't say much; she could see that Cheng Miaohan seemed to be caring more and more about Lin Mo.

Yang Miaomiao snorted lightly; she always felt Lin Mo was arrogant and aloof. Although Lin Mo had truly surprised her last time, in her heart, Lin Mo was still arrogant, cold, and ignorant of worldly ways.

"Frankly, in her eyes, Lin Mo was still that kind of person who became very full of himself just because he had some connections and background."

As the group just arrived at the Tianxing Hotel, they saw the figure of an attractive middle-aged woman appear at the hotel entrance, walking towards Cheng Miaohan and the others.

"Hello, Aunt Man…"

"Hello, Aunt Man…"

Almost everyone present, except for Lin Mo, greeted Dong Man.

Seeing Lin Mo with his hands in his pockets, Dong Man couldn't help but frown:

"Lin Mo, what is this supposed to mean? Am I not worth your greeting?"

"Not worth it." Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Mo merely lifted his gaze slightly and said indifferently.

It wasn't that he was pretending to be aloof, it was just that Lin Mo genuinely didn't like Dong Man.

Although Lin Mo didn't like to squabble too much with others, he naturally didn't want to bother with people who were overly power-hungry.

What's more, just a moment ago, he definitely saw a hint of disdain and a sneer in Dong Man's eyes.

"Lin Mo, I admit that last time at the hotel, your network and martial power somewhat shocked me!"

"But, that's all there is to it!"

"There are many people in the world who are better than you."

Dong Man glanced at Lin Mo with a slightly displeased tone, and then, with a look of anger, said:

"I'm not trying to hit you where it hurts as your aunt! If you were low-key and more mature, Aunt Man feels that you would definitely have a boundless future!"

"But, I didn't expect that upon seeing you again, you would still be so arrogant."

"It's good that you have connections and relations, but with the way you conduct yourself, those big shots will eventually leave you, no longer your support or reliance; once you lose that, you will be nothing but a person with empty martial power."

"How I am, is not for you to dictate or teach!" Lin Mo retorted calmly, his gaze somewhat cold.

"You... Is that how you speak to your elders?" Dong Man was a little angry, feeling even more that Lin Mo's nature would ultimately prevent him from achieving great things.

"Mom! Today is my birthday, and if you keep talking to Lin Mo like that, I won't even celebrate it!"

Cheng Miaohan glared at Dong Man angrily. It had not been easy to invite Lin Mo to accompany her for her birthday, but she didn't expect her mother to still look down on Lin Mo. Weren't his methods and connections at the hotel last time enough to impress her?

"Hmph!"

Dong Man glanced at Lin Mo with irritation, then, holding Cheng Miaohan's hand, said with a smile:

"Miaohan, I know today is your birthday. Don't worry, I won't make too much of a fuss with this youngster."

After speaking, Dong Man gave a mysterious smile and said:

"By the way, Miaohan, mom has prepared a big surprise for you."

"I believe you will definitely like it once you see it!"

Hearing this, Wu Mingzhe, Zhou Yitao, Su Xinhe, and Yang Miaomiao present at the scene all became somewhat impatient:

"Aunt Man, what is the surprise?"

"Yes, hurry up and take us to see it."

Cheng Miaohan was also curious, giving a wry smile and saying, "Mom, what's the surprise exactly?"

"You'll know once we go upstairs."

With that, Dong Man led Cheng Miaohan, Wu Mingzhe, and the others towards Room 808 on the eighth floor of the Tianxing Hotel.

When the group arrived at Room 808, Dong Man pushed open the door, and everyone instinctively looked up into the room.

"Miaohan, you've arrived?"

A gentle voice like flowing water came from inside the room.

The handsome young man stood up with a smile and flowers in hand, giving off a very dapper and refined vibe from every angle.

Wu Mingzhe, Zhou Yitao, Su Xinhe, and Yang Miaomiao all widened their eyes.

As for Cheng Miaohan, her eyes trembled with disbelief and surprise.

Shen Zixuan! How could it be him?
