Chapter 338: Chapter 299: The Progenitor Descends

The next day, in the morning.

Lu Li, who got up early, changed into the high-end clothes that Julia Giannini had prepared for him.

He tidied up his outfit in front of the fitting mirror, feeling satisfied before turning around.

Lu Li said, “You get some more sleep, I’ll come back to you after I’m done.”

A visibly tired Julia Giannini, half propped up, asked, “Darling, where are you going?”

Lu Li looked calmly and said, “To find someone, to ask some questions.”

Julia Giannini replied, “Okay, I’ll stop by the office in the morning and leave early in the afternoon to wait for you at home.”

Lu Li walked up, kissed her forehead, “Good girl, I’m off.”

With that, the window automatically opened.

His body floated up and shot out into the outside.

Seeing this, Julia Giannini appeared very excited, her eyes filled with even more infatuation.

Although she heard Lu Li admit last night that he was the progenitor, but as the saying goes, seeing is believing, witnessing it now made her heart thrill with excitement!

“My man is truly the progenitor! The most powerful person in the world!”

Julia Giannini was in an excellent mood.

At the same time, her heart filled with immense pride, just as she had said the night before.

…

Los Angeles is quite a distance from New York, just under four thousand kilometers.

If taking a passenger plane, it would take about six hours.

Now, Lu Li’s flight speed far exceeded that of a commercial aircraft, naturally requiring much less time.

After about thirty to forty minutes of flight, he descended grandly from the high skies above New York.

The biological force field can alter magnetic fields and force fields.

Even if he made a bold show, he didn’t need to worry about being detected by radar or satellites.

Last time he flew to Mexico, he didn’t do this, entirely because changing magnetic fields and force fields consumed too much energy.

Now that he had completed his fourth deep evolution, the energy within him was boundless, and he couldn’t care less about this consumption, naturally too lazy to fly low to avoid radar detection.

He arrived at a luxurious apartment building in Manhattan.

Lu Li flew directly into the building from the window in the hallway.

Immediately, he tried to release energy to probe, following the previously detected signal’s general direction.

Wanting to see if Matthew Simon had waited as instructed by him.

Or whether he indeed had the gall to leave this apartment.

The result of the energy release showed only a lifeless corpse lying quietly on the sofa.

Yes, he could be sure it was a corpse.

Because there were already livor mortis spots on the face of the person lying there.

Or rather, the color of the livor mortis had deepened.

Based on Lu Li’s understanding of livor mortis appearing post-death, he deduced that the person had been dead for over four hours.

Generally, livor mortis begins to appear two to four hours after death.

After twelve hours, it becomes most prominent.

Within twenty-four hours, the color of livor mortis gradually deepens.

After twenty-four hours, the color of livor mortis no longer changes.

Additionally, he could be quite certain that the corpse was Matthew Simon.

Because there was a driver’s license in the pocket of a coat hanging on a rack not far away.

And the photo and name on the driver’s license matched Matthew Simon.

“Hmm?” Lu Li squinted his eyes, “Matthew Simon was killed?”

His energy could sense that Matthew Simon died from poisoning.

Despite the nearby presence of a forged “fearful suicide note,” in handwriting seemingly similar to that in Matthew Simon’s study, the slight differences could not deceive Lu Li’s eyes, as he knew the note was a forgery.

“It seems the hidden mastermind knew I could track the phone signal, so they killed Matthew Simon, fearing I would track down the phone number and pursue them further.”

Lu Li sneered, “You think this way, I can’t find your exact hideout?”

He didn’t enter the room at all but directly activated his domain.

The next moment, some scattered particles within the room began to move, as if reenacting something.

After Lu Li activated the domain, although he couldn’t directly observe scenes of the future or past, he could use the trace of particles to simulate a series of events that happened in the future or a while ago.

Though this simulation might not be entirely accurate, at least it provided some clues.

Gradually, those particles formed into human-like shapes.

Of course, this was a vision only visible to Lu Li after the “Omniscient Zone” domain activation.

For ordinary people, even entering the room wouldn’t reveal anything.

When the particles assembled into the shapes of five or six people.

Lu Li immediately started the simulation.

Trying to deduce what exactly happened last night.

Soon, he simulated what these people were saying with their mouths moving, along with a series of actions.

For example, indeed, Matthew Simon had taken a bottle of poison himself.

But this poison was provided by a bald-headed old black man and several large black men following him.

The simulation undoubtedly had no sound, only images and scenes.

These didn’t stop Lu Li from deducing the conversation between the bald big boss and Matthew Simon from their “lip reading” through simulation.

After a moment, Lu Li closed the domain, still maintaining the biological force field.

He chuckled softly, squinting his eyes, “So the mastermind behind this is so afraid of me now? Actually willing to go to any lengths to sever all possible traces leading to him?”

Moreover…

No wonder our buddies displayed the terrifying deterrence of a mecha combat group, and the media dared to smear and slander them.

It all makes sense now, it’s the mastermind’s tricks.

The other side wants to “restrain” me in this way!

Lu Li found it somewhat ridiculous.

He’s no longer afraid of exposing his identity now.

Nor does he care about any reputation.

What’s the use of smearing and slandering?

“Since I know roughly what these big bosses look like, I’ll find them now and drag them out one by one for questioning, I refuse to believe I can’t get any useful information.”

As long as I get a hint of useful information, and using the domain’s “simulation” function, along with Julia Giannini’s knowledge of the Ugly Country’s tycoons, finding the mastermind should be practically effortless.

Lu Li knew there was a timed bomb in the room, so he simply didn’t go in.

Not because he was afraid of the bomb’s power.

That thing couldn’t harm him at all.

The reason he didn’t go in was that he didn’t want to alert the snake.

Otherwise, if those big bosses were killed later, it would be very troublesome to investigate further.

He ascended to ten thousand meters high above New York City.

Lu Li opened the domain, continuously searching for several big bosses.

The state of New York covers a vast area, but the main city area is not large, only about 945 square kilometers.

Lu Li’s domain can instantly scan 80 square kilometers.

It didn’t take long to search for those big bosses.

Soon, his gaze locked onto a place near Flushing.

Lu Li squinted his eyes, “Found it, it’s over there!”

The next moment, he turned into a stream of light, rushing towards that place at lightning speed.

…

On the other side.

The bald boss who killed Matthew Simon last night, along with his several subordinates, was packing luggage in an apartment, preparing to take a plane and hide somewhere in Africa.

Although they didn’t know if Matthew Simon’s death could cover everything up, their deep fear of the Forefathers made them willing to give up the good life in the Ugly Country and hide in some godforsaken place in Africa to save their lives.

The bald big boss was named Smith, one of the kingpins of an underground force in New York.

At this moment, he had just finished packing and looked at his watch, “The flight takes off in two hours, let’s head to the airport now.”

Another big boss said indifferently, “Boss, Matthew Simon is dead, do we really need to lay low?”

Smith squinted his eyes at him, “Don’t you know how scary the Forefathers are? According to the boss’s guess, the Forefathers may have the super ability to track phone signals. Imagine, if they can track phone signals, can you guarantee that they don’t have the ability to recreate the scenes from last night’s events? If you want to stay here and wait to die, I personally have no objection, but you might get me involved, so if any of you don’t want to go to Africa with me to lay low, I’ll execute you now!”

“Boss, I didn’t mean it that way.”

“We’re definitely going with you, how could we stay here and wait for the Forefathers to come kill us?”

Several big bosses quickly responded.

Afraid that Smith would start a killing spree and eliminate them too.

In fact, they also felt that Smith’s guess made some sense.

If the Forefathers can track phone signals.

Who can guarantee they lack the ability to trace past events?

Thus, this group felt it necessary to leave the Ugly Country swiftly.

Even though there was no news of any Forefathers arriving in the Ugly Country.

Yet Smith and his subordinates were already terrified out of their wits.

It goes to show the deterrence of the Forefathers.

Indeed.

The major countries across the globe are all daunted by the Forefathers.

To this day, no country’s leadership has stood up to say anything.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Smith and his subordinates are ruthless.

Yet they dare not truly confront that bloodthirsty Demon King!

The group picked up their luggage.

Ready to leave the apartment for the airport.

Suddenly, a lanky big boss stared at his phone screen gleefully, “The boss’s news smearing the Forefathers made it to the trending searches, do you guys want to take a look?”

Smith was very nervous at the moment, having no mood to look at any news, “Let’s check it out once we’re on the plane, it’s more important to hurry on the road to prevent any attack from the Forefathers.”

“Right.”

“Let’s hurry up.”

The group pushed open the apartment door and walked towards the elevator.

At this moment, although Smith and the big bosses were extremely nervous, they felt that since there was still no news of the Forefathers, fleeing should still be possible.

Unfortunately, what they didn’t know was that the Forefather they dreaded so much had already arrived in the Flushing area!
