Chapter 21 - Nangong Lanjiang

Old man Sekoujo felt the frightening aura that Cale emitted for less than three seconds. And he finally realized how foolish he was to compare himself with such a strong man. His young appearance was just a mask to hide the sleeping beast within him.

"This young man can only be a friend and should never be made an enemy." He said what was on his mind unconsciously, but Anton who was behind Delfino nodded his head solemnly. He told himself to warn his boss Delfino about Cale or even anyone among Wolf King's people. As all of them gave him a feeling of profound fear.

Brogen, Santharus, and Zero followed after Cale disregarding the onlooking crowd.

Sima Ying also felt the strong aura from Cale as she was also a martial arts practitioner. Despite looking like a fragile jade, she was at least as strong as Anton in terms of skills.

The moment Cale exposed his strength, all the martial arts practitioners inside the grand ballroom of Grand Lisboa trembled unknowingly. They never thought that such a handsome young man hid a strength which was far greater than any man they knew.

Perhaps, no one will know that it was merely a fraction of Cale's true strength.

Lee Wang Min who was still kneeling on the ground wanted to stand up, but his knees refused to listen. It was still as soft as jelly as if the aura Cale released placed a severe trauma on him. He himself was also a martial arts practitioner, but his little bit of strength was nothing compared to the grand might of the Gun Sovereign.

Cale honed his strength by continuously killing the unknown enemies they had in his past life. After facing countless life and death events, his strength already reached the peak that every martial arts practitioner wished to have. He might not have practiced the most profound martial technique, but his overall physical ability was already beyond the realms of a normal human being.

During the Operation Meltdown of the Phantom Wolf Squad, they collected all the dead bodies of their enemies and brought them back to the Alliance.

Dr. Nicholas and his team found out that their enemies actually looked the same as humans, the only difference was that they were pale blue in color and their ears were pointed.

Dr. Nicholas even said that the overall physical ability of these demi-humans was at least ten times that of an average human.

And Cale had fought with these beings for more than ten years, greatly honing his skills and strength. Even the average humans during his past life were at least three times stronger than the ones in his current timeline.

"Anton, what do you think of that young man?" Delfino asked while mocking Lee Wang Min in his mind.

"Boss, if you have thoughts about making an enemy out of their group, then please just don't do it. That man was already this strong, how much more the mysterious Wolf King himself?" Anton replied solemnly.

Delfino felt the graveness in Anton's voice and took his words seriously. He trusted the man greatly for he has saved his life countless times already.

The bodyguards of the Lee Family went inside the grand ballroom and helped their young master stand up. They then left the grand ballroom lest they make a fool out of themselves. At least they could salvage a little bit of the Lee Family's shame by moving away from the crowd.

"Young Master Nangong Lanjiang of the Nangong Family has arrived!" The announcer said in a loud voice attracting the attention of the crowd. They then turned to look towards the entrance and saw a tall young man with an aggressive appearance. He was followed by some people of the Nangong Family who were acting as guards.

Sima Ying who was still dazed did not even hear the loud announcement. It was only when Nangong Lanjiang called her that she broke away from her dazed state.

"Young lady Ying, would you allow me to accompany you in this table?" Nangong Lanjiang said elegantly.

Sima Ying did not even glance at him and just nodded her head in response. But Nangong Lanjiang did not take it to heart and was instead happy that Sima Ying allowed him to accompany her.

Cale who was enjoying the scenery outside was unaware of the happenings inside the ballroom. He just continued staring at the desolate night sky, making his mood even more somber. The cold night winds of Macau made him recall a certain woman during his past life.

A cold and immortal-like face, cherry red lips, slim waist, and long jade-like legs.

"Xia Qingyue," Cale muttered softly, and the look on his face was full of nostalgia and deep loneliness.

Cale shook his head and sighed bitterly.

He then turned his head and focused it on Zero.

"Zero, investigate the Sima Family for me. As for Sima Ying.... nevermind. Just give me a detailed report about the Sima Family. You have one week to accomplish this mission." Cale said solemnly while calming his heart which was still in turmoil.

"Yes, sir Cale! I will get it done." Zero answered and did the salute that Cale taught them by placing his right hand on his chest

Cale nodded his head and said "You may go. Remember, your safety is the top priority."

Zero felt warm in his heart and bowed his head while doing their salute. He then jumped from the terrace of the building which was almost a hundred meters from the ground. Any normal human being would immediately die from the impact of the fall.

Cale looked down below, but he could no longer see the silhouette of Zero.

He smiled weakly and looked inside the grand ballroom.

He saw an aggressive-looking young man beside Sima Ying. He was smiling brightly as he continued talking about his achievements to her. Sima Ying who was tired of these boastful young masters just nodded her head from time to time.

She was not even listening to Nangong Lanjiang at all. She was still wondering at the question Cale asked her.

'How did he know that name?' She thought to herself.
