Wei Jun looked at the young man in front of him occupied with the main villain of the story. Wei Jun knew he couldn’t face Li Fan Sho at the moment. Not to mention he had yet to take everything he had. He needed to increase his level as much as he could and he was ashamed to say that he hadn’t been able to take half of what Li Fan Sho had.

Wei Jun turned to look at Xing Xiaomei, who was now in top-notch condition and ready to go again, but Wei Jun held her back. The fight to come was between Li Fan Sho and his foster mother, the woman who took him in after his father died at the hands of an evil cultivator.

The leader of one of the strongest dark organizations, the evil cultivator who had actually killed his father but managed to hide the fact and help Li Fan Sho grow so she could turn him into an ultimate soldier.

The only mishap in that entire story was a girl who began to change Li Fan Sho’s feelings and it didn’t seem like he’d be able to become the ultimate soldier she sought.

The answer was as simple as ever. Get rid of the distraction. But then the cliche story of the novels came into play. Boy and girl ran, boy and girl became strong, boy and girl got caught, the boy survived, the girl died, the boy moved on to become immortal but never forgot about the girl, and then he returned to the point when the girl was about to die.

The girl was held captive by the old woman before Li Fan Sho but he was not strong enough yet to free her from her hold.

The story would soon take a drastic turn but Wei Jun wasn’t prepared for that. Besides, there was a great change from the usual story…

[Your intervention is what brought the advent of dungeons so fast]

Wei Jun agreed with the system’s words and said, ‘I think I need to think it through more.’

Wei Jun knew Li Fan Sho was not strong enough to face the woman yet. Li Fan Sho would resort to running away for now and Wei Jun was counting on that. As for the old woman, well, Wei Jun was sure he wouldn’t have to deal with her because she wouldn’t care about him. All she wanted was the star talent Li Fan Sho who could become immortal and rule the world.

“Let’s bounce.” Wei Jun said to Xing Xiaomei.

“Huh? Why? The two of us can take him.” Xing Xiaomei argued but Wei Jun simply shook his head as he replied, “No, we can’t. Not with her present.”

All things considered, the old woman couldn’t let Li Fan Sho die. She would kill anyone in her way to Li Fan Sho and that included Wei Jun as well if he were to annoy her too much.

“…” Xing Xiaomei remained silent and simply nodded after thinking about it for a few minutes.

Wei Jun and Xing Xiaomei left the scene. What Wei Jun wanted to accomplish had been done so there was no need to stall any longer. Li Fan Sho would soon be undergoing a breakthrough and Wei Jun could only hope it wasn’t a lucky stroke like the protagonist suddenly breaking through in the middle of a battle.

[Not when the realm is this high]

[You don’t have to worry about that]

Wei Jun sighed and nodded after the system’s confirmation.

“What do we do now?” Xing Xiaomei asked.

“You’re going to train.” Wei Jun replied.

“And what you?” Xing Xiaomei asked.

“I’m going to train too.” Wei Jun replied.

“How?” Xing Xiaomei asked.

“In a very~ special way.” Wei Jun replied.

[Level: 519]

Wei Jun smirked as he saw the level gain after he had severed many more strings of fate between Xing Xiaomei and Li Fan Sho, not to mention the number of people he killed and businesses he destroyed.

Li Fan Sho wasn’t getting back on his feet anytime soon but Wei Jun faced the same problem. He needed to increase his level to increase his cultivation realm. After all, even if the growth barrier on his Qi was now removed, there was still a great difference between the Qi control of a grandmaster and those of the higher realm.

‘It’s time to use it in full.’ Wei Jun thought as he looked at the reward he received for completing the Ice Orc quest.

But before that…

“Hey.” Wei Jun looked at the green-eyed beauty he hadn’t seen for quite a while.

“It’s been a while.” Wei Jun said with a warm smile only to be met by a warm smile of her own. Natasha, the green eyed woman, nodded and said, “It really has been.”

Wei Jun nodded in return and turned to the woman who stood next to Natasha, the blonde haired woman who had an annoyed expression on her face. Wei Jun erased the warm expression on his face and said with his usual stoic tone, “Melissa.”

“Wei Jun,” Melissa said in an annoyed tone.

Wei Jun simply ignored her further than that and said, “Come on in. We have a lot to talk about.”

“Sure.” Natasha replied and Melissa was about to follow when Wei Jun turned to Lao Chen and said, “Take the guest to the guest room.”

The guest here was referred to as none other than Melissa who was now even more annoyed and mana began to seep out of her. She hadn’t been idle so she was now a full-fledged fifth-circle mage, almost at the edge of advancing to the next circle.

Wei Jun looked at her and only sighed. He waved his hand and said, “Feel free to follow us if you want.”

“No thanks.” Melissa said with an offended tone, “I can see I’m not welcome.”

“Really? What gave you that impression? Was it my blatant disregard for your presence?” Wei Jun asked with the utmost serious expression that only annoyed Melissa more, but she remained silent.

To vent, however, she threw a vase on the nearby table on the ground when she followed Lao Chen to her designated room.

Wei Jun could only shake his head at the ridiculous childish manner.

“Go easy on her.” Natasha chided Wei Jun.

“I don’t like her. She doesn’t like me. End of story.” Wei Jun simply said before he pointed to the living room and said, “Come on. We have some catch-up to do.”

“Mhm.” Natasha followed Wei Jun. As they arrived in the living room, Mark Wilson was already sitting on a couch, savoring his tea.

When he saw Wei Jun enter with a Westerner woman, he couldn’t help but say, in Mandarin, of course, “Boss, gotta say. You got a perfect taste.”

Wei Jun awkwardly looked at her while Natasha said with a straight expression, “This taste can perfectly understand you.”

Mark Wilson was taken aback by the flawless Mandarin of Natasha and looked at Wei Jun for rescue who didn’t mind rescuing him because he was running out of time himself.

“Let’s take a seat. We need to discuss a few things.” Wei Jun said. Natasha decided to forego the awkward first encounter and nodded while Mark Wilson thankfully sat down in a hurry.

“As you know the world is going through a massive change. Only two types of people can survive in such a world. Those with power and those with wealth. I intend to be both of them. And you two are going to help me with that.” Wei Jun said.

It was a great speech or a sales pitch, but both of the individuals in the room weren’t impressed. To them, it was the blabbering of a young rich playboy who couldn’t get enough of what he already had.

Wei Jun could understand their thought process. It was well within the norms. Only rich playboys were eccentric enough to make such moves.

So, Wei Jun decided to let his actions talk, not his words.

He sat down in front of both of them and said, “I can see how you are having a hard time trying to believe my words or even understand them. So, to cut it short…”

Wei Jun waved his hand at the table in front of them and six mana crystals appeared on it. The mana exuding from them could be felt by both of the mages even when the mana crystals were perfectly stable.

“B-Boss… This is…” Mark Wilson couldn’t form proper words because he had never seen anything like the crystals on the table with such pure mana.

Wei Jun smiled and said, “Welcome to the future that only we will hold.”

Wei Jun looked at Natasha who was also looking at him seriously, ignoring how precious the mana crystals were. She could now perfectly understand what Wei Jun meant.

‘The academy…’ And now, she had a choice to make. It was clear what Wei Jun intended to do and she could tell what his thought process was. She remembered the conversation the professor’s table was having before they left and could only come to one conclusion.

‘Wei Jun or them…’
