As the door closed, the three of them finally let out a sigh of relief.

Chen Fang muttered under his breath, "That kid's killing intent is so strong! We'll have to assign someone to watch him, just in case some idiot who doesn't know what's good for them provokes him..."

Lu Shan suppressed the fear in his heart and said in a deep, booming voice, "People like him are unstable elements. If he gets into a fight in a busy downtown area, who knows how many innocent people would be killed or injured!"

"That's not our problem. Our mission is complete. Don't go looking for trouble!"

Hua Yueqing touched her cut finger, her eyes narrowing.

"Boss Hua, that kid's sword is something else... I saw it clearly. His Inner Strength traveled along the blade and wounded you!"

Chen Fang clucked his tongue in admiration.

Hua Yueqing nodded. "It really is something else... Forget it. Just have someone tail him and watch his every move. As long as he doesn't cause any more trouble, it's fine. But if he really insists on doing things his own way, then he can't blame us for getting nasty!"

As she spoke, Hua Yueqing's beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent, and her tone turned ice-cold.

Hearing this, Chen Fang and Lu Shan both instinctively shrank back.

Others might not know, but they knew very well that once Hua Yueqing got serious, she was truly a little crazy...

...

After seeing the three from the Safety Bureau off, the members of the Xie Family were all frowning with worry.

They hadn't expected that even with the Safety Bureau stepping in, they still couldn't get rid of Chen Erbao. They still had to pay the one billion!

A short while later, the Xie Family finally scraped together one billion and transferred it to Chen Erbao's company account.

Thousands of miles away, Bai Xiaoqing was completely stunned when she received Chen Erbao's call.

She was running herself ragged in Hongyuan City, barely making ten million a day, yet every time Chen Erbao went on a trip, he'd bring back a few hundred million...

Now, there were over a billion in the company account, and most of it was money Chen Erbao had brought in.

'Is she working for Chen Erbao, or is Chen Erbao working for her...?'

After receiving the money, Chen Erbao got in his car and left the Xie Family estate. Before he left, he patted Xie Yuan's face and told him to be more discreet in the future.

That calm yet murderous gaze nearly made Xie Yuan piss his pants in fear.

He believed the kid would at least stay quiet for half a year.

Chen Erbao didn't go back to the train station; instead, he went to the Vienna Hotel.

Covered in blood, he needed to take a shower and clean himself up first.

On the way, Chen Erbao received a text message.

"This is the last time. If there's a next time, it won't be just the three of us coming for you."

There was no name attached, but Chen Erbao knew it was a warning from the Safety Bureau.

'I killed too many people this time, and it's caused a big stir. Maybe Lu Shan was right. With my current strength, if I really went on a rampage in the city, it would probably shake an entire district.'

He soon arrived at the Vienna Hotel. When Wang Mian saw Chen Erbao covered in blood, he nearly fainted. He hurriedly helped Chen Erbao into the room, only to be startled again when Chen Erbao said it was someone else's blood.

He had long known that Chen Erbao was no simple character, but now Wang Mian's respect for him was tinged with even more fear.

"Prepare some lunch, then buy me a plane ticket to Banna District for this afternoon."

After giving the order, Chen Erbao went into the bathroom to shower.

After his shower, his phone rang again.

It was a call from Lin Cheng.

"Uncle Lin!"

"Er Bao, I hear you've run into some trouble?"

"It was a small matter. It's already been taken care of."

Chen Erbao said casually.

Lin Cheng didn't ask for details, but simply advised, "The Safety Bureau gave me a call. I told them you were a junior of mine, which helped resolve some of the minor issues. But... you still need to give them the proper respect. After all, as the old saying goes, the common folk don't fight with the officials."

Hearing Lin Cheng's words, Chen Erbao nodded. "Don't worry, Uncle Lin. I know what to do."

"That's good. I was just afraid you'd be impulsive and clash with the Safety Bureau. That would be a huge mess. The Safety Bureau isn't like other departments. If you fall into their hands, I'm not sure even I could get you out!"

"Mm."

The two exchanged a few more words before hanging up.

Chen Erbao sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

'I didn't realize the Safety Bureau was so powerful that not even the Medicine King Hall can interfere with their decisions.'

'Lin Cheng has really done all he could. After all, aside from our connection through Lin Zhiqing, we're just ordinary business partners. Although the Medicine King Hall values me as a partner, if it came down to a confrontation with the Safety Bureau over me, they would definitely abandon me without a second thought.'

'As long as you're in China, no organization can stand against the state's enforcement agencies.'

'Looks like I really do need to tone it down. My current strength isn't enough to take on the world. Once I reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, though...'

Chen Erbao's thoughts drifted further and further away.

「Meanwhile, in Hongyuan City.」

Lin Cheng sat on his stool, also thinking about Chen Erbao's situation.

'I can't believe that kid is an Ancient Martial Artist... I always knew he was special, but with the Safety Bureau targeting him now, things are getting tricky. If a real conflict breaks out... I wonder how far things have progressed between him and Zhiqing. If necessary, I might have to make a trip to the Capital City!'

...

After Chen Erbao left, everyone in the Xie Family breathed a sigh of relief. However, before their seats were even warm, another uninvited guest arrived.

Charles!

With a sinister look in his eyes, he swaggered into the Xie Family estate, making Hou Jiufang tense up all over again.

'You could tell just from his aura—another damn Grandmaster.'

'Are Grandmasters a dime a dozen these days? Why do they keep flocking to the Xie Family?'

"Was Chen Erbao here?"

Charles couldn't be bothered to waste words on ordinary people like the Xie Family. If he weren't afraid of the Safety Bureau detecting his movements, he would have already started killing.

Hou Jiufang answered cautiously, "He was!"

"Where did he sit?"

Led by Hou Jiufang, Charles inspected every place Chen Erbao had been, but he came up empty-handed.

He was looking for a hair or piece of skin from Chen Erbao. With that, he could cast a long-range Curse Technique and kill without leaving a trace.

Finding nothing, Charles had no choice but to continue waiting outside the Vienna Hotel for Chen Erbao's next move.

Meanwhile, when Cao Yang heard about what happened to the Xie Family, he felt a wave of lingering fear.

'It's a good thing I didn't make a move; otherwise, I'd be out one billion, and there's no way I could afford that!'

When Yang Bo heard the news, his face was also filled with shock.

'A hundred armed thugs, wiped out just like that?'

"Fucking ruthless!"

At this point, Cao Yang had completely given up any thought of continuing to oppose Chen Erbao. He just hoped Chen Erbao would leave Lijiang as soon as possible, so he wouldn't have to live on edge.

In the afternoon, Chen Erbao had Wang Mian drive him to the airport.

As the plane slowly ascended, Wang Mian also breathed a sigh of relief.

Banna District is located in the southernmost part of Dian Nan, right next to the border. Aside from a few famous scenic spots, the rest of the area is all uninhabited primeval forest.

It's a gathering place for poisonous insects and wild beasts, a place ordinary people would never dare to venture deep into.

Even the local hunters had to be extremely careful every time they entered the mountains, lest a moment of carelessness turned them into food for the beasts.

At a little past five in the afternoon, the plane landed at the airport.

Because Banna District was a relatively chaotic area, the Vienna Hotel didn't have a branch there. After getting off the plane, Chen Erbao took a taxi into the city, found a random hotel, and checked in for the time being.
