Chapter 66: Royal Hover, The Vulcan Manager

Luo Jia was seeing a special guest today . If Ling Jiu were here, he would have instantly recognized this guest, Ai Yuhe, whom he had met before .

“Nice to meet you, Miss Ai . ”

Luo Jia shook Ai Yuhe’s hand enthusiastically .

“Nice to meet you too, Miss Luo . ”

Ai Yuhe smiled .

“Mr . Ai has told me your purpose of visit . ”

Luo Jia ushered Ai Yuhe to sit down . “It’s a shame that the owner of the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent egg is still hunting Direbeasts in Qin Mountains . I’m afraid—”

“Qin Mountains? That place is near to Lantian Base City!” Ai Yuhe then asked as she smiled, “Could you tell me where he is? I can go to see him straightaway!”

“Sure!”

Luo Jia nodded . She took out a phone and made a call . Before long, she got Ling Jiu’s location . “They are heading to the Heihu Mountain Pass, Miss Ai!”

“The Heihu Mountain Pass? Thank you, Miss Luo!”

…

The Heihu Mountain Pass was a ravine in the majestic Qin Mountains, hugged by steep mountains and forest front and back .

As the maglev airship reached the Heihu Mountain Pass, Ling Jiu and others disembarked and were ready to continue wiping out the Direbeasts .

Just then, a four-meter-long maglev car arrived in a flash . As the door hissed open by itself, a strapping man stepping on a silver skateboard floated out, then hovered above them .

“The Royal Hover!”

“A Level-Five Arcanist!”

Everyone, including Ling Jiu, saw the man and their hearts missed a beat .

Level-1 and -2 arcanists were of lower level; Level-3 and -4 arcanists were of intermediate level, and Level-5 arcanists were of advanced realm .

Advanced Arcanists—the shorthand for strength!

A Level-5 arcanist could easily kill a lower-level arcanist . Even the strongest Level-4 arcanist could not hold a candle to the power of a Level-5 arcanist .

Because of their strength, there were few Level-5 arcanists in Lantian Base City . Only the general managers or those in the leadership in major organizations like Pangu and Vulcan were Level-5 arcanists .

“Isn’t he Jin Chao, the general manager of Vulcan?” Chen Feng looked at him and exclaimed quietly . “Why is he here?”

“It really is the general manager of Vulcan! What is he doing here instead of staying in the base city?” Huang Hailong was puzzled, too .

“Who knows?”

“Maybe he is just passing by!”

All team members shook their heads .

Just like Luo Jia, the general manager of Vulcan is a bigwig . They all recognized him . Just that he did not know who they were .

“Mr . Jin!”

Yang Gan and the Vulcan team were overjoyed at seeing him . They bowed to him in unison .

“Hey, Yang, which one of them is Ling Jiu?” Jin Chao looked at Yang Gan .

“It’s him, Mr . Jin!”

Yang Gan pointed at Ling Jiu and was almost gloating over it . “He took our stuff . He must be made to return it!”

“What is the situation?”

The Pangu team was puzzled . Same went to Xu Yuanhui and some other arcanists onboard the maglev airship .

‘What’s the matter? Looking for Ling Jiu?’

“Hand over the thing, kid!”

Jin Chao looked at Ling Jiu . “You know what I mean . There’s no point pretending!” he said faintly .

“Who do you think you are?” Ling Jiu hissed .

“A Level-Five arcanist!”

Jin Chao was nonchalant—haughty, in fact . He looked condescendingly at Ling Jiu, as if Ling Jiu was a nobody . “Is this reason… good enough?”

Ling Jiu laughed, but not aloud, his voice filled with disdain . “Are you intimidating me with you only being a Level-Five arcanist? Who do you think you are?”

His words caused a stir .

All eyes were on Ling Jiu with their jaws dropped, as if they were seeing a monster .

This is the general manager of Vulcan he was facing . How dared he talk to Jin Chao like that?

He must have a death wish .

“How dare you!”

Meanwhile, Yang Gan looked in anger, but deep down, he was quietly gloating over it . “Mr . Jin is the general manager of Vulcan . You have disrespected him by talking to him like that!”

“Mr . Jin? He is only the GM of Vulcan, not of Pangu . Why should I care about him?”

Ling Jiu looked annoyed . “Cut the cackle! I have no time for this . Just make you move now . I have got things to do!”

“Damn it . He is so arrogant!”

“Loudmouthed!”

“I have never seen anyone so arrogant!”

“Captain Ling, don’t be like this!”

Chen Feng and others were terrified . They tried to dissuade him quietly . “Just apologize . We will talk it over when we are back in the case city . He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day!”

“That’s right, Captain Ling . You have angered Mr . Jin—”

“It doesn’t concern you all . So don’t interfere!”

Ling Jiu held up his hand and sneered . “If someone tries to take things away from me, I will tell that person to perish the thought and go somewhere else!”

“You have a death wish, rascal!”

Jin Chao was furious . With his finger pointing into the air, a glinting silver blade shot out of the silver skateboard under his feet .

The blade faded into a light as it was targeting at Ling Jiu . It was so quick that it came within inches of him, aiming at his knee .

As furious as Jin Chao was, he would not kill Ling Jiu, as that would be akin to shooting himself in the foot if he killed the Level-4 arcanist of Pangu .

Unless there was no one around .

An earthen wall rose from under Ling Jiu’s feet to block the attack .

But the blade was more powerful than he had expected; it pierced through the wall and still shot at him .

Nevertheless, the wall had delayed the blade by a second, and that one second was all Ling Jiu needed .

He dodged the blade in a flash and launched his counterattack at the same time .

The Qin Mountains were rocky . Rocks were everywhere, and this environment favored Ling Jiu .

Once he stomped his feet to the ground, the rocks within a hundred yards around him rose and shot at Jin Chao in the air .

Hundreds of rocks screamed through the air like a symphony orchestra .
