At this time, the sun was scorching the Earth. Lv Zhong looked up at the sky and couldn’t help but furrow his brows. This year’s weather was very unusual, not only did summer arrive extremely early, but the high temperature weather continued for almost two months. In these two months, the average temperature in Yan City reached 36 degrees, setting a new record in the city’s history. Lv Zhong had cultivated to the Innate Realm and naturally didn’t care about this high temperature. However, while he didn’t mind this kind of hot weather, the countless alien insects he controlled could hardly tolerate such continuously high temperatures. For insects like [Soul-Devouring Worm], [Pathogenic Worm], and [Poison-Devouring Worm], Level 1 and Level 2 could still bear this continuous high temperature. However, Level 0 [Soul-Devouring Worm], [Pathogenic Worm], and even [Poison-Devouring Worm] were greatly affected. Many of them were killed by the heat, and even those that didn’t die were lethargic and did not dare to appear under the scorching sun. Now, these low-level alien insects began to hide in cooler areas of large hospitals. As their range of activity decreased, the amount of energy they absorbed naturally dwindled as well. So in the last month, although Lv Zhong’s cultivation had still progressed. However, in his own perception, the momentum of this progress had weakened significantly. This was why his cultivation had not been able to break through to the Middle Innate Stage from the Early Innate Stage. “This year’s weather is too unusual!” Lv Zhong muttered and decided to find a restaurant to have a meal. The area surrounding City Affiliated Hospital No.1 was bustling, with many restaurants and entertainment venues. Lv Zhong had saved quite a bit of money and planned to find a nice place to have a good meal. But of course, if it was too lavish, he would feel uncomfortable. His intention was to find a mid-range restaurant. Today’s patients were taken care of, and he had nothing else to do afterwards. After leaving the main entrance of the Affiliated First Hospital, Lv Zhong turned left and crossed the pedestrian zone directly. Across the road was a place that held deep memories for Lv Zhong – the Golden Coastline Private Club. This Golden Coastline was one of the businesses owned by Jingang Assembly. The last time Lv Zhong and Liu Wanqiong were attacked by a time bomb, Lv Zhong grew angry and ordered the [Soul-Devouring Bugs] to retaliate against many businesses under the Jingang Assembly in a lightning-fast move. And this Golden Coastline Private Club was where Lv Zhong retaliated the most fiercely. That time, Lv Zhong ordered the [Soul-Devouring Bugs] to annihilate Devil Tiger and other core members of the Jingang Assembly. He also revealed some questionable data and secrets of the Golden Coastline Private Club. As a result, the entire Golden Coastline Private Club was seized by the government… Crossing the street, Lv Zhong saw how the once thriving Golden Coastline had now become very desolate. Three months had passed, and this private club is still being sealed and frozen. Back then, the Devil Tiger was the highest executive of the private club. When Lv Zhong annihilated the Devil Tiger, he also used the [Soul-Devouring Bugs] to copy some things from his memory. He learned how Devil Tiger, with the support of the president of Jingang Assembly, covertly supervised an incredibly large overseas firearms trade activity. He was a well-known arms smuggler in the Nanyang area. However, almost no one knew that Devil Tiger was the boss of a private club in a small inland city under Jingang Assembly. Lv Zhong also knew that Devil Tiger had stashed a batch of arms in a secret place, but he didn’t touch those arms at the time. He acted like he didn’t know. He wanted to use those arms to lure the chairman and several members of Jingang Assembly. What annoyed Lv Zhong was that those people were surprisingly calm. They endured it all and didn’t open the batch of arms. From the memory of Devil Tiger, Lv Zhong learned that Devil Tiger was not a confidant of the chairman of the Jingang Assembly, and did not know much about the matters of the chairman of the Jingang Assembly … Sorting out the mixed thoughts in his heart, Lv Zhong began to walk slowly south along Steamed Xiang Road. There are many large restaurants, hotels, and KTVs along the way. As Lv Zhong walked south past the various hotels, he found that every hotel seemed to be full at this time. Yan City was a consumer city. It didn’t have many large factories, but when it came to eating, dressing, and housing, everyone was not ambiguous. Generally speaking, those who run hotels and restaurants in Yan City can make a lot of money. As long as the chef is not too terrible, almost every restaurant’s business will be booming. After walking past large restaurants like Quyuan, Xiaoxiang, and finding no available seats, Lv Zhong couldn’t help but give a wry smile and continued walking. When he passed by a Five Lakes Grand Hotel, Lv Zhong didn’t plan to go in. Because this hotel is quite upscale, you essentially couldn’t dine there without spending a few thousand. Although Lv Zhong wanted to have a good meal, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to dine alone in such a grand hotel. Plus, there was a LehuHotel not far ahead which had a good chef and reasonable prices. Lv Zhong had once dined there with his uncle and craved several of their signature dishes. But when Lv Zhong was about to pass by the Five Lakes Grand Hotel, with his heightened senses from reaching the Innate Realm, Lv Zhong suddenly heard the sound of strife coming from inside the restaurant. At first, Lv Zhong didn’t pay attention to it. But after he walked seven or eight steps slowly, he vaguely heard a very familiar voice. Suddenly, Lv Zhong’s eyebrows knitted slightly, a hint of cold light flashed in his eyes, then he turned around back to the entrance of the Five Lakes Grand Hotel and pushed open the glass door. As soon as Lv Zhong entered the hotel, his eyes swept over to where the noise was coming from. He saw that there was a group of people surrounding a male and a female hotel staff member. One of these staff members was Lv Zhong’s good friend, Xiao Fei, and the other one was Xiao Fei’s younger sister, Xiao Chumeng. Xiao Fei had been a classmate of Lv Zhong from primary school until junior year. It wasn’t until they were split into different classes based on their majors during senior year, with Xiao Fei going into Senior Grade 3 Science Class 1, that they gradually lost touch. In regards to Xiao Fei’s sister, Xiao Chumeng, due to her mediocre academic performance and lack of interest in studying, she ended up getting a job at the hotel through some connections. Being just shy of seventeen now, she was about 158cm tall, had an innocent face, and a curvaceous figure, making her a fairly attractive young girl. At this moment, Xiao Fei was guarding his sister in front of him, looking panicked. As for the five twenty-something year olds surrounding them, they all had a yellowheaded, sneering air while the ring-nosed, non-mainstream looking youth leading them was looking at Xiao Fei and Xiao Chumeng with a grim expression. The hotel manager and staff were off to the side, looking on with terrified expressions, not daring to come forward. Seeing the situation, Lv Zhong’s frown deepened. In Yan City, wouldn’t a normal hotel intervene in these kinds of situations to protect its reputation? Had they seriously left these two inexperienced staff to deal with these clearly bad-mannered youths? “Miss, you spilled soup on our boss, what are we going to do?” a skinny-looking youth with a squint stepped forward towards Xiao Fei and his sister. “We… we’ll pay, isn’t that enough?” Xiao Fei tried to protect his sister, his face expressing sheer panic. He picked up a job at the hotel after the college entrance examination to earn some tuition and lighten the financial burden on his family. However, he didn’t expect that he would encounter this kind of trouble so soon after he started working. “Pay up? Okay, then. This silk T-shirt my brother is wearing was bought just two days ago for 8,000 yuan. You pay the same amount as compensation—” the squint-eyed youth sneered. “What?” Xiao Fei swallowed, his face filled with shock. It seemed that his salary from the hotel was only 1,600 yuan a month. This meant that he would have to work for five months just to compensate for this guy’s shirt. Xiao Chumeng screeched indignantly, “Brother, why are you even talking to them! Why should we pay for his clothes? It was clearly him who was harassing me, causing me to spill the soup! We should call the police—” “Hahaha, go ahead and call the police!” Squint-eyed guy burst out laughing, and the other youths also started laughing arrogantly. “Call the police, we’ve got evidence on our side…” Another youth with a big mole on his face said confidently. “Actually, I’m not a fussy person, as long as Miss Xiao spends the day with us, this 8,000 yuan is no big deal. I just don’t know if Miss Xiao agrees.” The ring-nosed youth said while looking at Xiao Chumeng’s face with a lewd grin. But his expression seemed a bit forced to Lv Zhong. His motives didn’t seem to be just for Xiao Chumeng. Although Xiao Chumeng was also quite pretty, she wasn’t the kind of woman who could bewitch these people to the extent of harassing a female staff in broad daylight. However, Lv Zhong didn’t feel like speculating about the real reason why these people were giving Xiao Fei and his sister trouble. If someone was bullying his good friend, it didn’t matter what the reason was – he would teach them a lesson first! It was then that the seemingly innocent Xiao Chumeng suddenly erupted in anger. She rushed out from behind Xiao Fei, and like a fierce tigress, she yelled at the ring-nosed lad: “Miss… Go screw your miss! You idle prick, go bother your mum! You’re in our hotel one day, sticking around the next. Just because you think your dad is Li Gang you think we’re fools? You think we don’t see that you’re just trying to ruin our hotel…” Sweat, lots of sweat, cold sweat, poured down in buckets… Lv Zhong was also shocked by Xiao Chumeng’s surprisingly bold side that he didn’t expect from the innocent looking girl. “You damned bitch, who gave you trouble!” The ring-nosed lad whirled in anger, his hand shooting out to slap Xiao Chumeng across the face. Just then, he was horrified to find that his hand seemed to be caught in a giant clamp, unable to move the slightest bit. Following that, an incomparable wave of pain surged through his hand.
