Chapter 245: Chapter 244: Is it Really Them? "Hello? Who is this?" Lin Tian asked as he answered the phone. He didn’t have more than twenty numbers saved in his phone, so who could be calling so late? "Brother Tian, it’s Rossi." A voice came through the phone speaker. This Rossi was quick to action, having purchased a phone and gotten a SIM card so soon. Lin Tian chuckled, "Find out anything?" If it weren’t for useful information, Lin Tian knew he wouldn’t call just for the sake of it. "This afternoon, after Cui Haolong from the taekwondo dojo was injured by Brother Tian and went to the hospital, Mr. Qi and two others I didn’t recognize visited him. But from the conversations Cui Haolong had with them, I caught the names Sun Decai and Bai Yufeng," Rossi briefed the few key individuals. "It’s really them?" Lin Tian wasn’t surprised. Sun Decai was a big shot at Xikou City High School, always surrounded by a group of sycophants, but he had been keeping a low profile lately—this wasn’t his style. Was he planning to confront me from the shadows? A cold smirk appeared on Lin Tian’s face. "They agreed to meet at a bar tomorrow at noon. They didn’t specify what it was about," Rossi continued. "A bar? I know the place. Wait for me outside the Night Rose Bar tomorrow at noon. I want to see what kind of tricks they’re planning to play," Lin Tian said before hanging up. These people, seeing that I’m not threatened, still went to challenge the taekwondo dojo. It looks like they’re planning further actions. But, I’ll see how long they can keep this up, Lin Tian thought nonchalantly as he drove away from the teachers’ apartments. Back at the Xiao Mansion, the two sisters were already absent from the living room, and the dining table had been tidied up. Lin Tian didn’t want to disturb the sister’s reunion, so he went back to his room. He continued his cultivation, absorbing the moon’s essence until the moonlight stopped reaching the balcony and then he stopped working and went back inside. He had seen almost no progress in his cultivation recently, the same as always. Lin Tian wondered if perhaps he was doing the techniques wrong, so he took out the beast skin scroll again. He looked at it over and over. The beast skin scroll had only twelve cultivation movements on it, with no text or any other markings. Lin Tian observed it with his X-ray vision, and in his enhanced view, the scroll glowed with purple light, making the imaged clearer, but still, nothing was amiss. I’m such an idiot, not to ask the female zombie last time I saw her. The beast skin scroll belonged to her; she should know something about it, Lin Tian thought with frustration, smacking his forehead with regret. Sigh, I can only take it slow. To ascend in a single bound is nothing but a pipe dream unless there’s some legendary stroke of luck. After all, the female zombie has existed for over five thousand years and I haven’t even been a zombie for a month. Can’t be dissatisfied, right? Lin Tian could only comfort himself this way. He slept until morning, and upon waking up, found that Miss wasn’t there again. Being a CEO isn’t easy, nobody’s money comes without effort, and for sure, Miss devoted all her energy to her duties. "Second Miss, Miss sometimes drops by the house, but why is it that I never see your mother?" Lin Tian wondered what Mrs. Xiao could be so busy with every day. "My sister used to rarely come home before, but now she has a bit more time to stay in Xikou City because Tianxue Jewelry’s first chain store is preparing to open here. Otherwise, she used to be on the move all the time. Mom is even busier, with the frequent personnel changes in the group recently. I heard from my sister that she’s planning to expand overseas developments, so there’s no time to come back home," Xiao Manxuan said. However, Lin Tian noticed she wasn’t as sad as before. Could it be the nourishment from my presence as her bodyguard doing the trick? Lin Tian shamelessly thought. Nothing special in the morning classes, just continuous reviews. However, the incident of a student being bullied seemed to have spread. During the break, as Lin Tian walked down the corridor, he heard most of the students discussing it, trying to guess who had such a big grudge against him. Some students even claimed to be Lin Tian’s fans and were determined to investigate who was targeting their idol, vowing not to let them get away with it. Lin Tian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; he had just played a bit of basketball and disciplined some of the basketball team members, and now he had fans. This also showed that the school’s basketball team really wasn’t popular. When lunch break came around, Lin Tian took Xiao Manxuan back to the Xiao Mansion and then drove straight to the Night Rose Bar in the city center. Once at the bar, Lin Tian saw Rossi already waiting by the roadside. The bar was closed at this time, generally not doing business during the day, but Lin Tian knew there was another reason: today Bai Yufeng and Sun Decai were meeting there. "Brother Tian, I’ve checked it out. They’ve been inside for half an hour. The bar is closed today; both the front and back doors are locked," Rossi reported, but his tone was indifferent. Ordinary doors might stop common folks, but they were no match for a zombie and a vampire. "Hmm, let’s go in and take a look first. If we don’t give these guys an unforgettable memory, they’ll think they’re the big shots of Xikou City," Lin Tian said indifferently, turning to walk towards the alley behind the bar. The back alley was usually deserted, the passageway cluttered with various kinds of rubbish, emitting an unpleasant smell. The back door of the Night Rose Bar was also made of iron, but of course, Lin Tian disregarded it completely. If he could rip through an airplane’s aluminum alloy panels with ease, what was an ordinary stainless steel door to him? However, Lin Tian didn’t break the door, but instead, he easily leaped up to the second-floor balcony, with Rossi following suit. The security mesh on the balcony was as good as paper to Lin Tian. He casually grabbed the stainless steel pipe and pressed both sides effortlessly, tearing a huge hole in the mesh. Entering through the balcony led straight to the manager’s office. It was a familiar place for Lin Tian, as this was where he had killed Qiangzi and the others and then was struck by lightning from the female Heavenly Master, which, fortunately, turned out to be a blessing in disguise. "Brother Tian, they are probably in the bar’s main hall on the first floor," Rossi said, his ears twitching. The manager’s office was soundproofed, which wasn’t surprising since Manager Qian used it for illegal activities. But a vampire’s exceptional hearing could still pick up sounds from the first floor. Lin Tian had already heard it too, even without Rossi saying it. "Don’t rush it. Sit down and have a drink first," Lin Tian said, opening the wine cabinet in the office and pulling out a bottle of fine red wine. "Brother Tian, these guys really know how to enjoy themselves. This bottle of red wine is from Lafei Winery, a vintage from ’86," Rossi commented nonchalantly. Lin Tian laughed it off, saying, "Heh, if you like it, we can just take over the bar. There must be more good wine hidden in the basement of the bar, and you’ll have a fixed place to settle outside." Taking over the bar was as casual for Lin Tian as talking about grabbing a bite to eat. He motioned for Rossi to go out while his X-ray vision had already seen through the walls to the bustling hall below. Visit freeweb(n)ovel.com for the best novel reading experience
