This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome Chapter 49

Chapter 49

Square-faced Fatso did not become the Deputy Chief of the Agency of Special Affairs by chance, and he was certainly no fool. There were many clues that showed this was not a simple matter.

After all, there should not be any connection between the two parties, but as he considered it, all the strange aspects of Luo Kun’s murder began to pop into his head.

Even he could not stop himself from having these doubts.

Although he did not know what kind of grudge Lu Xuan might have against Luo Kun, he was easily killed despite being a cultivator.

Lu Xuan had the ability to do such a thing.

In addition, it would explain why Lu Xuan was so aggravated by Luo Ying’s visit to his family!

Square-faced Fatso sensed that this was no ordinary incident and reported to Chief Yun Sheng almost immediately.

“What are we going to do about this? If a conflict breaks out between Mister Lu and the Luo family, what are we going to do?” Square-faced Fatso reported the whole matter to Yun Sheng.

“Observe the situation for now. We need to see what is going on!”

Yun Sheng also felt extremely troubled.

If Square-faced Fatso’s assumption was correct, he feared that the Luo family would not let this murder go unpunished. Even if Luo Kun’s death were unrelated to Lu Xuan, judging by the way Lu Xuan prioritized his family’s safety, he also would not take this threat lying down.

When that happened, it was inevitable that conflict would break out between the two sides.

Then, placed between the Luo family and Lu Xuan, what would the Agency of Special Affairs do?

“If it comes to choosing between Lu Xuan and the Luo family, you just need to remember one thing,” Yun Sheng advised. “Lu Xuan is the Agency of Special Affairs’ Special Consultant. As for the Luo family, what are they to us?”

“But the Luo family won’t leave it at that, and then they will put pressure on us!” Square-faced Fatso said with a measure of concern.

Yun Sheng’s firm voice boomed over the telephone. “So what if they do? Our Agency of Special Affairs is an institution directly affiliated to the Inner Palace. If they want to apply pressure on us, let’s see if they are capable of doing it!”

“I understand. I will keep a close eye on this matter!” Square-faced Fatso hurriedly replied.

At the same time, while this was happening…

In Xia City, in an enormous standalone villa, a group of people was sitting around in the living room. Each one of these people had a valiant air about them, and all of them were cultivators.

Among them, there sat a woman who was in her twenties, with gorgeous features and an excellent figure.

For the time being, however, her beautiful face bore a frosty expression, which made the valiant cultivators around her tremble in fear, not daring to speak.

Although they were all men, they had clearly suffered under this woman in one way or another. When she was not talking, none of them dared to say a word.

“I didn’t expect my judgment to be wrong!” Luo Ying said through gritted teeth. In her hands, she held a piece of information she had just received.

In the fighting competition at Fu City, two martial arts legends had turned up, when even seeing one was rare.

And, one of the martial arts legends went by the name Lu Xuan.

This was the reason she was so incredibly angry. She had been sent by her family to investigate the cause of Luo Kun’s death.

For a member of the Luo family to die mysteriously while out and about was no small matter. Their previous investigation had gone on for a month with no results, and even putting pressure on the Agency of Special Affairs did not yield any useful information.

Even the surveillance cameras monitoring the villa compound did not record anyone, as the culprit had evaded all the cameras.

It was only then that they sent her to investigate the case personally. After she looked up all the possible suspects with some kind of connection or animosity to the victim, she found that one of them—a man called Lu Xuan—stood out.

There was ill will between Lu Xuan and Luo Kun.

To be precise, because Lu Xuan had a blind date with Lin Miaoyi, Luo Kun had targeted him, even sending his trusted henchman to deal with him.

However, his henchman had thereafter disappeared without a trace. This was not public knowledge, but she later found out that the henchman’s corpse had been fished out. Because of the unusual state of the body, it was sent to the Agency of Special Affairs.

Not long after that, Luo Kun was found dead, murdered inside his own villa.

Under these kinds of circumstances, Lu Xuan was extremely suspicious!

Yet, during her background checks on Lu Xuan, she did not find any anomalies. Since he was born, he has been a very ordinary person. His parents were also ordinary people, and everyone in his family tree was ordinary as well.

This caused Luo Ying to strike Lu Xuan off from her list of suspects, but she still deliberately came to Xia City to make her presence known by way of introducing herself to Lu Xuan’s parents.

It was because she had a suspicion that even if Lu Xuan was not personally involved, there might be a stronger power pulling strings behind him. While the probability was not very high, there was still a chance it could be true.

If her guess was on the mark and there was some kind of cultivator backing Lu Xuan or the Lu family, there should be an immediate reaction from them when they heard about her.

When that happened, she would be able to judge based on the reaction whether or not Lu Xuan was involved.

Still, even if Lu Xuan were not personally involved with Luo Kun’s death, she would not mind eliminating him.

Anyone who crossed the Luo family must die!

However, when she received the information that had just arrived, she was thrown for a loop.

The information finally confirmed that her estimations were completely wrong. Lu Xuan, who was just an ordinary man in her eyes, was, in fact, the most terrifying one.

A martial arts legend who had kept his identity a closely guarded secret!

There was no way she would believe that Lu Xuan spent the past month seriously cultivating himself to become a martial arts legend.

He must have trained hard from a tender age without revealing his strength, which allowed him to fool everyone.

When she found out that Lu Xuan was a martial arts legend, all the incongruities and things she could not explain started to fall neatly into place.

From the beginning to the end, this was a scam!

Lu Xuan used his own identity to shield himself, deflecting all the suspicion away from him, and misdirecting the Luo family’s investigations.

Even though the Luo family had kept a low profile, over the years, they had made a lot of powerful enemies, and many of these enemies were capable of perpetrating the murder.

Thus, from the start, Lu Xuan was never in the Luo family’s sights. She was the only one who felt something was amiss, but even she did not think that the master culprit was Lu Xuan himself.

Everything made perfect sense to her now. A martial arts legend was not to be trifled with, so when her younger brother Luo Kun sent someone to kill this martial arts legend, he was really just digging his own grave.

In the current world, a martial arts legend was, without a doubt, a distinguished individual. Even in the Inner Palace, they would be treated as a guest of honor, able to converse with various heads as equals.

That being said, the one who was killed as a son of the Luo family, and they would never take this lying down.

Perhaps if this happened to the Chen family, which was a local overlord, they might be able to swallow their pride. However, her family had the backing of the Taichu Group and was many times more powerful than the Chen family. There was no way they could just let this go.

Nobody could get away scot-free after killing a member of the Luo family.

“This is bad. We have to leave now!”

At that very moment, a horrifying thought came to Luo Ying.
