China Town, the United States of America.
Jiang Lin, Jiang Feng’s father, was sitting at a newsstand and reading a newspaper.
At this time, his old-style mobile began to ring and a message was sent to his phone.
The message read, “Boss, they have entered the Animal Arena. When will we make a move?”
Jiang Lin then replied, “Whether we can stay in the United States or not will depend on this battle. This is extremely important. No need to rush through things. Wait for my signal!”
After sending the message, he then switched off his phone.
“Twenty years… I wonder if those old folks managed to crack it. As soon as they do, it will then be the time for me to find Xuanyuan Chenyan and take back everything. Soon, soon…” He mumbled to himself as he put down the newspaper in his hand. He did not close the newsstand but simply left and disappeared into the crowd.
The people walking by never would have expected that an old man so easily blending into the crowd would have control of a terrifying faction.
It could be said that those who had managed to reach this far, their ability to disguise themselves had become unthinkable. Those who did not know them would never recognize who they were. Even winners of the Oscars were not as professional as them.

In a hall within the Baili family.
A man approached Baili Yuanqin and said respectfully, “Patriarch. We’ve just received news that Jiang Feng has left the Animal Arena and is headed to the United States by plane!”
“I thought you would keep on hiding like a turtle. I will make sure that you won’t be able to return to China to kill my son!” As soon as Baili Yuanqin remembered how his son Baili Shenye died, he could no longer hide the murderous intent within his eyes as he said with a cold demeanor, “Have our people go to the States. Kill him the moment he touches down!”
***
Ling Yuntian, the director of Lingtian Group.
The moment he had received the news that Jiang Feng was headed to the United States, he became very frantic.
Bang! Bang!
He struck on his table twice as he sat in his office and said angrily, “That boy! He is too impulsive! Doesn’t he know that he is in a very precarious position? Is he that much of a fool! That child keeps on giving me problems! Old Hong, find someone to protect him!”
Li Ran smiled and said, “That boy is much more intelligent than you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to marry our daughter. If my guess is correct, he is going to take action in China. At that time, even the five great families would be overturned.”
Ling Yuntian then said, “Impossible. The five great families are as rock-solid as they can be. Otherwise, the Ling family would have become one of the five great families already.”
Li Ran smiled again and said, “If you don’t believe me, we’ll simply have to let things play out!”

Jiang Feng was sitting on the plane and did not realize that many other factions were all observing his actions.
Perhaps it was because he did not go offline, the moment he went on the plane, he fell asleep in his first-class cabin.
He only woke up until someone woke him up.
When he woke up, he noticed that the plane had already reached its destination. The person that woke him up was a very beautiful American air stewardess.
He muttered a thank-you and disembarked.
At this time, it was only around 5 o’clock and he headed out of the airport*.
T/L note: If only international travel were that easy. Don’t even have to worry about visa and immigration checks lol.
After disembarking from the plane, he then walked out of the airport with a backpack.
He did not know why but there were very few taxis. And the other transfer carriages were not here to pick him up so he was somewhat speechless.
Some of the apps could not be used here, so he stood and waited on the platform.
After about 5 minutes, a taxi finally came.
Many of those that were waiting for a taxi moved toward the taxi, but Jiang Feng managed to take the first step and reached for the door. He opened it and entered.
Jiang Feng was just about to tell the driver his destination when a tall woman opened the door. But when she saw that there was already someone in there and was going to give up, she noticed that it was Jiang Feng and said with a smile, “Hey, it’s you! Care to take me along?”
Jiang Feng gave her a glance and noticed that she was the air stewardess that woke him up on the plane.
“Come on, let’s go together,” He managed to reply in English.
He could not be so heartless as to leave her alone since she woke him up on the plane. It would be discourteous.
T/L Note: Bullshit.
When the middle-aged man heard Jiang Feng’s words, he then drove off and asked, “Where to?”
“Chinatown!” The two of them replied at the same time.
Jiang Feng and the air stewardess looked at each other and he then said with a faint smile, “What a coincidence.”
“Yeah, what a coincidence. My name’s Hesland,” The air stewardess said and then extended her hand.
“I’m Jiang Feng,” Jiang Feng also extended his hand and they shook hands. They were at least now acquainted.
Jiang Feng used his not-so-good English to converse with Hesland while they were on the way.
The driver did not say anything at all.
After half an hour, Hesland looked at the surroundings and realized that they were surrounded by abandoned factories and a dock. She then asked the driver curiously, “Hey, this is not the way to Chinatown. Did you take a wrong turn somewhere?”
The driver said in surprise, “No, I followed the GPS. It could be that the roads are under maintenance so they can’t be used.”
‘There’s trouble!’
When Jiang Feng was listening to their conversation, he looked at the GPS. He did not enter any address to the GPS, which meant that the driver was lying.
After giving it some thought, he suddenly remembered something and said to the driver coldly, “Stop the car!”
“We haven’t reached the place yet. Don’t worry, we’ll be there…”
Before the driver could even finish, Jiang Feng roared out angrily, “I told you to stop the car!”
That surprised Hesland who was next to him.
The driver suddenly took out a gun from under his seat and aimed it at Jiang Feng.
Crack!
Just as the driver took out the gun, Jiang Feng had already caught onto his wrist. With slight pressure, he directly shattered his wrist.
“Ah!”
Hesland had never seen something like this, and she screamed.
“Plan A has failed! Activate Plan B!”
Beep!
As the driver cried out in pain, he also roared out the next order. Next, Jiang Feng could hear something that was being activated very quickly from within the car thanks to the keen hearing that he had now.
He did not have to think twice to know what that was. He quickly caught Hesland’s hand and kicked open the door, and then jumped out of the car.
The moment he jumped out of the car, he carried Hesland in his arms and quickly escaped.
Boom!
Next, the taxi that they were in exploded. The powerful explosion threw both Jiang Feng and Hesland into the air and they landed near a shipment container.
“Are you alright?” Jiang Feng asked when he saw Hesland whose face was already pale as she trembled.
Hesland said, “I… I’m fine!”
As he was holding Hesland in his arms, she was not affected much by the impact, so she was mostly fine.
He turned around and looked at the taxi that had exploded, and finally understood why there were so few taxis outside of the airport. It was because of him.
If there were too many taxis around, he might get in the wrong car and not this one that was booby-trapped. If there was only one taxi, he had to take the ride whether he liked it or not.
Screech!
Just as he was trying to figure out who was the one who wanted to kill him, he could hear the sound of cars approaching.
He quickly held Hesland in his arms, hid in a container and closed the door. He then peeked out from the door’s gap and looked outside.
