Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

After the battle to the east of the city concluded, Jin Bolong stood by the window sill of the attic, lost in thought for a while.

He had never imagined that the battle would end like this.

The force mobilized by that Longevity Sect leader was undeniably massive, and his determination was equally firm; the one in charge of planning and overseeing was none other than the famed Jade Fox, Xu Yu.

Yet this group of people had unexpectedly fallen! And it was almost a total annihilation.

"Hiss~"

Standing beside him, Lu Hanyuan inhaled sharply, "Actually a double-exalted emperor of the sixth realm, Xu Yu has suffered a bitter defeat! What a Lin Hao, what a masterful commander of the Assassination Bureau! Over the past hundred years, throughout the twelve generations of commanders, none could match this man in strength, talent, or ability. No, even extending back two hundred years, he would be the foremost among them!"

He looked at Jin Bolong with a worried gaze, "Chairman, given this young man's capabilities, we must be cautious about what comes next. In my opinion, we should scale back our forces in the Great Song as much as possible."

If Lin Hao truly got his hands on intelligence from the Linghu family, the consequences would be unthinkable.

When unable to land a blow on the opponent in the boxing ring, one can only pull back their fist and minimize losses as much as possible.

Jin Tianchen, who stood nearby, was even paler. He never expected that among the people of Tianji Star, such an extraordinary talent could exist!

This Lin Hao was clearly stronger than Lin Rui! Stronger in every aspect!

Lin Rui was merely a martial arts star at the fourth realm level, whereas since becoming the commander of the Assassination Bureau, Lin Hao had proven to be top-notch in both his political machinations and personal combat prowess.

Jin Tianchen felt an incredible pressure thinking about his future service under Lin Hao in the Assassination Bureau.

"Indeed, we cannot let our guard down! We underestimated him before," Jin Bolong said, massaging his temples to quell the throbbing pain in his head, "A contraction is definitely necessary, but the problem is we can't retract too quickly. Our friends can't possibly move at the same pace as us; their operations are too vast to pull back in a short time."

Lu Hanyuan understood what Jin Bolong meant.

The interests of the Jin family near Luojing were not significant, their total annual turnover barely amounted to a little over twenty billion; losing it wouldn't matter much.

The problem was that Linghu Mingde, that crazed old man, was forcing everyone to pick sides in the marketplace of the ninth base city: with him or against him! Complete antagonism towards the Jin family had put their business partners in a difficult position.

The Jin family might be able to forsake their Luojing business, but their business partners wouldn't give theirs up, nor did they have a reason to.

Why should they?

By then, Jin Bolong's business allies would definitely abandon them, and this would inevitably make the situation for the Jin family even tougher.

Linghu Mingde, though close to death, was fiercely relentless. By adopting a stance of reckless determination, he posed a challenge that the Jin family found difficult to counter.

"Defending is not the solution," Jin Bolong stated with his hands clasped behind his back and turning his head towards the direction of the Imperial City, his eyes cold and conceited, "We need to attack. Only by first taking down Zhao Yang and pulling out Linghu Mingde's teeth can we suppress the old man!"

Jin Bolong then hesitated slightly, "You may contact that Marshal. If he is unwilling to settle, perhaps our two families could join forces and try again."

Lu Hanyuan's eyebrows rose, aware that his chairman had become deeply wary of the commander of the Assassination Bureau, wary to the point of risking everything to eliminate Lin Hao physically.

However, Lu Hanyuan was not optimistic about Jin Bolong's decision, doubting its feasibility.

To plot an assassination that could threaten Lin Hao, they would need to organize a force no less than the one gathered today. But considering the current state of both families, how easy could that be?

At the moment, the Linghu family was engaging in a full-scale confrontation with the Jin Corporation, from commercial battles to political arenas, from base cities to the surface of Tianji Star, launching attacks on all fronts.

Just recently, they had two of their seventh-realm experts executed by the Great Song imperial courts!

The Jin family now had limited forces to dispatch.

The aforementioned four-star Marshal had also suffered severe losses; during the assault on the Luo family's estate base, he lost ten Dragon Transformation experts, including Zhu Tiantang.

Today's battle has even resulted in the loss of three 7A-grade special tactics squads, and 'Jade Fox' Xu Yu, a one-star implant marshal.

That four-star marshal is indeed a bigwig of the Longevity, with deep roots within the Federal army, and is an extremely powerful military warlord.

But even if he holds such great power, he must have been severely wounded now and will definitely need to lie low for a while, to lick his wounds and recover his vitality.

Meanwhile, at the residence of the Imperial Censor Zhao Yang.

Linghu Mingde and Fang Ranran were also standing on the highest attic of the mansion, watching the fierce battle in the eastern part of the city.

As the battle gradually subsided, Fang Ranran felt a huge relief.

Lin Hao, the commander of the espionage bureau, is very important to the Linghu family at present.

Although he is currently not considered an ally of the Zhao family, as long as he exists, he is like a sharp and unmatched treasured sword hanging over the Jin family and their allies, ready to strike a heavy blow at any time.

"Truly sharp!"

Linghu Mingde said with obvious admiration, "He must have the strength of a double-over emperor in the sixth realm, master and servant complement each other well. The key is that in such a situation, he chose not to retreat, but to counterattack decisively, and his tactics were quite appropriate.

If this Mr. Lin continues to grow in the future, who knows how terrifying he will become? I never thought I'd live to see such an outstanding young man."

Fang Ranran's eyes were complex, "He's indeed very capable! Xu Yu was cautious enough, using great power, yet still fell by his hand. However, the rise of this man is probably not a good thing for the Federation."

Linghu Mingde thought to himself that this might not necessarily be the case— from the information he now had to hand, Lin Hao was quite interesting.

At that moment, his mind suddenly stirred as he saw an email in his inbox.

This caused his white eyebrows to slightly raise, revealing a strange smile.

Fang Ranran noticed Linghu Mingde's expression, "What's up?"

Linghu Mingde had forwarded the email, "It's from the First Marshal of the Federal Security Bureau, who through the Exotic Management Bureau, has issued a directive to all extraterrestrial travelers above the seventh realm. He hopes that all such extraterrestrial travelers will temporarily withdraw from the vicinity of Luojing, and if it is necessary to enter Luojing, they must be extremely careful and monitor the movements of the espionage bureau commander, reducing public activities as much as possible."

"Hmm~ They've also adjusted the danger level of Mr. Lin, it's now SSS+."

Fang Ranran had already seen the email, first finding it somewhat unbelievable, but after pondering for a while, she wasn't surprised at all.

It was typical for the Security Bureau to behave in such a manner.

According to the Security Bureau, ever since this espionage bureau commander took office, he has solved major cases in a row, causing the Federation to lose a large number of reserve majors, lieutenant generals, generals, and even two reserve one-star marshals.

Although they were all criminals, the Federal Security Bureau must enhance their vigilance to avoid greater losses.

Fang Ranran figured that the First Marshal might be having a meeting at the Security Bureau's headquarters to discuss Mr. Lin, and there might even be a special countermeasures unit established.

Just as Fang Ranran was thinking about this, she received a message from her father.

One City Overwhelming (Fang Xianzheng): Ranran, are you in Luojing? Did you see the battle between the espionage bureau commander Lin Hao and Jade Fox Xu Yu in Tianji Star just now?

Rain Falls on Dusty Heart (Fang Ranran): I'm in Luojing, and I saw it.

One City Overwhelming (Fang Xianzheng): Hmm, collect some battle footage and write me a report on Lin Hao as soon as possible. I may need it for a meeting later.

Fang Ranran's lips twitched, her annoyance at her father reaching a peak, yet she promptly went back to her room, collecting data and editing footage while compiling the report.

In her heart, she fiercely thought, when I officially run for office and gain my own wings, that's when I can leave this father and soar on my own!
