Super War God in the City-Chapter 659: The Outstanding Youth, Unparalleled Patriot!

"You kid, lucky to be alive; I thought you were really blown to bits!" The old man chuckled with a sneer.

"Cut the crap with me. During the time I was in trouble, is this how you looked after Tian Yun? If I didn't come back sooner, the company would've almost gone bankrupt!" Ling Fan coldly snorted, waiting for the old man's response.

"What about the 'gentlemen's agreement?' Is this how you honor our agreement with me? You couldn't even handle a few jerks, and you talk to me about a gentlemen's agreement?" Ling Fan questioned angrily.

Hearing this, the old man took a deep breath, knowing the kid had come with grievances.

"Ling Fan, you misunderstand the old man. If it weren't for his care, Tian Yun would've collapsed long ago!" Secretary Song couldn't stand it anymore and quickly defended the old man.

Official Ling narrowed his eyes, "Heh, fooling ghosts? Just put on a show. You can't even handle a few minions from the Long Family and Leng family? If you can't do it, then don't make promises lightly. I think we should just part ways here and now!"

After saying that, Ling Fan turned and walked away!

The old man's face flushed with color, silent. The power in his hands was neither big nor small. He could've taken good care of Tian Yun,

But because of the commotion Ling Fan made in Snow Country, it created continuous strife and public uproar, capturing the attention of the interested parties, which made his situation quite passive.

Seeing Ling Fan about to step out of the door, Secretary Song panicked, stamped his foot, and said, "Ling Fan, stop! Do you know how much the old man has done for you behind the scenes?"

Official Ling was about to step out of the doorway, but upon hearing this, he paused his footsteps and, displeased, turned back.

"Come on, list them out for me. I hate owing people favors for no reason. Tell me clearly what this old man has done for me!" Ling Fan scoffed.

"After your first incident in Snow Country, because of your special relationship with the old man which stirred up conflicts on both sides, he was held by the collar by some. Even those above expressed dissatisfaction with the old man, yet he still did everything in his power to protect Tian Yun.

You, this guy, complaining without understanding the situation, do you even have a conscience?" Secretary Song chastised, his eyes reddening.

Hearing this, Ling Fan gave the old man a glance and remained silent.

"Heh, what's the use of saying all this, indeed there was a lack of care!" said the old man with a bitter smile.

"Hmph, that reasoning is quite far-fetched!" Ling Fan quipped.

The old man, knowing the kid was still angry, hesitantly said, "Ling kid, you've killed the Leng family members off completely, this matter won't be easy to settle, I'm afraid!"

"Haha, I don't mean to look down on you all, but you can't even handle a few failures from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and you still want to do something to me? If you want to catch me, just try. How big is the world, and where can't I, Ling Beiming, find shelter?"

"Believe it or not, if you push me too far, I'll run off to those Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, subdue the factions within, and then come back so we can all see who's boss," Ling Fan sneered coldly.

The old master's eyes widened, "Humph, keep boasting, but can you, a late-stage Martial Saint, really take on someone from the God Realm?"

"I heard those guys stirred up quite the storm in the Secular World, using super weapons and all, yet I didn't see you doing anything about them. In the end, it was still up to me to deal with it!" Ling Fan scoffed.

The old master initially didn't pay much attention, but upon hearing the latter part, his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

"What did you say? You killed them?" The old master's eyes bulged, incredulously.

Even Secretary Song, standing nearby, was shocked—those were the very people who had given the higher-ups such headaches!

"One got away, damn it, daring to mess with my woman at Zhongnan Academy; utterly courting death!" Ling Fan snorted contemptuously through his nose.

"Hiss~"

Both the old master and Secretary Song sucked in a breath of cold air. This matter that had been a huge headache for the higher-ups was casually resolved by this guy?

The corners of the old master's mouth twitched, and he immediately changed his approach, starting to counsel Ling Fan.

"Kid, why harbor so much resentment? You killed the Leng family and others, but the higher authorities have said nothing about it, have they? You are, after all, a descendant of Yan and Huang, how can you be so unconcerned about your country?" the old master began his earnest instruction.

"Enough, enough, old man, spare me the grand philosophy and chicken soup for the soul!" Ling Fan was speechless.

Upon hearing this, the old master's eyes widened instantly, "However, kid, if it weren't for me standing in the middle for you, do you really think that little bit of territory in Binzhou could have protected your business?"

"I'm not going to argue with you any longer, I need to go!" Ling Fan stood up at once, feeling that he couldn't stay any longer with this old fellow.

"Hey, wait a minute, we're not done talking yet, what's the rush?" The old master grabbed Official Ling.

"Kid, we have a gentleman's agreement. You promised me back then; when the people from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains cause turmoil, it's your responsibility to address it."

Ling Fan was taken aback and immediately stamped his foot, "Old man, it's a two-way choice. I promised you, but the implicit condition is that you protect my loved ones.

But did you?

If I hadn't returned in time this time, who knows what irrevocable things might have happened.

The issues with the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are my personal grudge. We each take care of our own. If you have the capability, go solve it yourself; it's none of my business!"

Upon hearing this, the old master fell silent. What the other party said was indeed faultless—a deal is based on mutual benefit, and this time it was his side that had let the other down.

"Kid, do me a favor here. If there's a next time, I'll lay my life on the line for you!" Old Yun took a deep breath and spoke with solemn sincerity.

Getting Ling Fan on their side was essential.

Seeing the old master's serious demeanor, Official Ling also became solemn, making his stance clear, "Old man, out of respect for my master, I'll give you one last chance. If my family's safety is jeopardized again, we're through!"

"Kid, I can pledge my life as a guarantee!" Old Yun also spoke earnestly.

"Fine, leave the business of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to me. I'm going to see what that guy Ye Long is up to; I won't stick around here any longer. Contact me if there's anything!" With a short greeting, Ling Fan headed for the door and left.

Secretary Song hurried to see Ling Fan out, and upon returning, looked at the old master and let out a long, inward sigh of relief.

It was the first time in his military life that the old master had pleaded with someone like this!

"Xiao Song, report the situation to the higher-ups. I've done what I can. If there are any objections from them, I need to let Ling Kid know in advance, so we don't let him down!" the old master said indifferently.

Hearing this, Secretary Song didn't hesitate to report to the higher-ups.

Half a day later, Secretary Song returned with a joyful expression on his face.

The higher-ups weren't fools; after learning the details, they immediately understood the profound intentions and wise decision behind the old master's initial efforts to win over Ling Fan.

Sitting on a stone bench, the old master saw Secretary Song's expression and felt slightly relieved, intuitively sensing the higher-ups' stance.

"What did the higher-ups say?" inquired the old master indifferently.

Secretary Song approached the old master, took a deep breath, and uttered eight words, "A young talent, unrivaled patriot!"
