Ji Yiwen couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Honestly, he really didn’t want to call Lei Kunlun. First of all, the guy wasn’t exactly easy to get along with. Second, he was Lei Kunlun’s defeated opponent, so calling him was even more embarrassing.
“Ugh, whatever. Let’s just do it!” Ji Yiwen let out a long sigh. If this kid really was an illegitimate child of the Lei family, then recruiting him into the guild would be far less difficult than he’d imagined.
The phone rang for nearly ten breaths before it connected, and a cold, aloof voice came through from the other end: “Who’s this?”
“Young Master Lei, remember me? It’s Ji Yiwen.”
“What do you want?”
“Do you have an illegitimate child or something?”
“…”
At those words, the other end of the line went silent. Lei Kunlun had been making preparations for the Sky Blue Abyss Rift No. 107 when he was suddenly hit with that question, and it took him quite a while to recover.
“Ji Yiwen, is there something wrong with your head?”
There was a hint of anger in that cold voice. Ji Yiwen, coming back to his senses, also felt that what he’d just said was a bit strange. Lei Kunlun was among the most aloof of all the raiders. His strength was terrifyingly formidable, and since he always wore a cold expression and kept his distance from women, how could he possibly have a child?
“Ahem, I misspoke just now. What I meant to ask is whether your father has an illegitimate child.”
Hearing this, Lei Kunlun set down the documents in his hands, his tone puzzled: “What do you mean by that?”
Ji Yiwen replied: “I mean exactly what I said. But before that, I have a question to ask you—the power of the Fangs should only be usable by members of your Lei family, right?”
“Naturally. What exactly are you trying to say?”
“I’m seeing someone here using the power of the Fangs…!”
Before Ji Yiwen could finish his sentence, he heard Lei Kunlun slam the table and rise to his feet on the other end: “Who’s the blind fool daring to cause trouble for Xue’er!”
His tone was full of killing intent and fury. The awakened ones in the same office were startled by the sudden burst of murderous aura.
“It’s not some sister of yours—it’s a guy.”
The moment he heard it wasn’t his sister, the killing intent around Lei Kunlun instantly dissipated, and the awakened ones in the office also breathed a sigh of relief. As expected of a rising star of China—that kind of presence alone was enough to make one’s blood run cold.
After calming down, Lei Kunlun fell into thought: “Ji Yiwen, are you sure you didn’t see wrong?”
“I’ve already stepped into the realm of a Level 5 Awakened. Never mind within thirty meters—even within three hundred meters, I can see everything clearly. This is definitely your Lei family’s Fang power.”
The materialized Fangs around the area made it seem as though one was standing inside a wild beast’s jaws. Those sharp fangs looked like they could snap shut at any moment, imposing an invisible pressure on anyone nearby.
Even having seen such power only once, it was impossible to forget.
“I’ve crossed hands with you before, and even now, thinking back on your Fangs sends a chill down my spine. How could I possibly be mistaken?” Ji Yiwen then took a photo and sent it to Lei Kunlun.
After looking at the photo, Lei Kunlun’s heart could not calm down for a long time. Didn’t Father say he had only ever loved Mother his whole life? And Mother only had two children—him and his sister. Could Father have…
Just then, Lei Zhenyuan walked in and asked: “How are the preparations coming along?”
“Father, have you been unfaithful?”
“What?” Lei Zhenyuan was completely caught off guard by the sudden question. When he recovered, his old face instantly darkened: “You brat, what do you mean by that? My feelings for your mother are loyal and unwavering…”
“Then how do you explain this?” Lei Kunlun directly handed the phone with the photo to Lei Zhenyuan, adding: “I’m only in my early twenties this year. There’s no way I could have a child that big.”
Seeing the Fang power used by the youth in the photo, Lei Zhenyuan was also stunned: “This really is the power of the Fangs. How is that possible?”
“I’ve misjudged you!” Lei Kunlun snorted coldly.
“You brat, are you confused? Don’t you think this kid’s Fangs look a little familiar?” At this point, Lei Zhenyuan noticed something.
Lei Kunlun carefully compared the Fangs in the photo: “This is Xue’er’s…”
…
Meanwhile, on the other side, Kuang Tian punched Zhao Hu deep into the ground, then stepped on him and rained down punch after punch. Each strike was delivered with just the right amount of force—not lethal, but enough to make one feel excruciating pain.
After loosening up his muscles, Kuang Tian’s eyes couldn’t help but drift toward the distance, meeting Ji Yiwen’s gaze directly.
Ji Yiwen hadn’t expected this either. He had hidden himself so well, yet someone had seen through him at a single glance.
He was just about to go out and say hello when a figure had already flashed before his eyes.
So fast?!
As Ji Yiwen’s heart skipped a beat, a sharp fist wind was already heading toward him. Without any hesitation, he instantly materialized his companion weapon and clashed head-on.
Bang!
Boom!
The sudden fight, the collision of power between two strong fighters, directly stirred up layer upon layer of shockwaves, sending Ji Yiwen’s little followers flying backward in an instant.
“Hey, kid, what are you doing?” After taking that punch, Ji Yiwen was secretly alarmed. If his reaction had been even a few beats slower, he would have been severely injured if not dead.
However, Kuang Tian by now had already fought himself into a frenzy. After two wild laughs, he unleashed a ferocious barrage of combo attacks on Ji Yiwen.
Even Ji Yiwen, who had been through countless battles in the Abyss Rifts, was being forced to retreat step by step.
Was this guy’s information file just for show?!
This ruthless power and tricky punching angles—only someone who had experienced countless life-and-death battles in the Abyss Rifts could achieve this.
But this guy had never been to the Abyss Rifts, nor did he have any martial arts training. How could he have developed such a fighting style?
His companion weapon had a longer body, while ‘Huang Quan’ threw all his strikes at close range, giving him no chance to counterattack at all.
While blocking, Ji Yiwen also paid close attention to Huang Quan. This guy was a completely different person compared to yesterday—as if his body had been taken over by another soul.
“A man’s body really is light!” Kuang Tian exclaimed, but his hands never stopped moving.
To be suppressed by some unknown kid—if word of this got out, that would be disgraceful. With that thought, Ji Yiwen held nothing back and directly unleashed the aura of a Level 5 powerhouse.
After a brief clash, the two retreated several meters apart, and Ji Yiwen raised his hand and said directly: “I came to find you about yesterday’s matter.”
Kuang Tian had intended to continue the assault, but just as he was about to strike, his movements froze.
Seeing the other party stop, Ji Yiwen also breathed a sigh of relief: “Have you thought about yesterday’s matter?”
Yesterday?
Inside this Huang Quan’s body, three personalities looked at each other. How could they possibly know about yesterday’s events?
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Leng Xue quickly made a decision: “I have something to do today. We’ll talk another time!”
With that, the whole person vanished in an instant. Kuang Tian still seemed unsatisfied: “That kid seemed pretty good at fighting. It feels great fighting without that extra fat on the chest!”
