The handsome young man raised an eyebrow. "You mean that Landon Lu who just broke through to sixth-level Warrior?"
"That's right, it's him," Lily Shen said bitterly.
The handsome young man sneered. "A guy who just broke through to sixth-level Warrior and hasn't learned any martial skills—do I really need to get involved? With the Shen family's influence, dealing with him would be a piece of cake."
Lily Shen snorted coldly. "Of course the Shen family could deal with him easily. But my second uncle plans to recruit him, and if I send Shen family people after him, I'd just be handing leverage to my uncle."
"I see," the handsome young man nodded.
"Shucheng, as long as you help me with this, I'll owe you a favor," Lily Shen said.
"To what extent? Just so you know, I don't do murder," Tang Shucheng replied with a smile.
Lily Shen gritted her teeth. "No need to kill him. Killing him would be letting him off easy! Just smash both his legs to comminuted fractures. As long as his legs are broken, even if they're healed, there'll be permanent aftereffects. His Body Arts cultivation will stagnate, and if he can't progress, no one will bother recruiting a cripple!"
"Alright, I'll help you with this. Just remember you owe me a favor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Shucheng got up and walked out.
After eating lunch at the school cafeteria, Ian Song headed toward the apartment.
But just as he reached the gate, he paused slightly—there were two unfamiliar presences in the courtyard. Judging by their breathing, both were seventh-level Warriors.
Ian's mind raced and finally settled on Lily Shen's image. Could she have sent these two to deal with him?
The next moment, Ian Song pushed open the door and entered, seeing two black-clad young men standing in the courtyard. Both looked about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, and their aura carried a hint of malice.
"Who are you?"
Ian asked, but his tone was a bit strange.
He was very interested in the theory of magnetic-field frequencies but had never found suitable test subjects—these two happened to show up, so he decided to use them for practice.
One of them showed no reaction to his words, but the other's eyes went blank for a moment before clearing up; he then said, "Young Master Tang sent us to break your legs!"
"Old Qi, are you crazy? How can you just blurt out Young Master Tang's name?" the other said angrily.
"Why can't you reveal it?" Ian changed his tone again, and instantly, the other's eyes also went blank for a moment.
"Who is Young Master Tang?" Ian asked again.
"Tang Shucheng!" they answered together.
Heh! This magnetic-field frequency hypnosis really works! Seeing their reaction, Ian Song couldn't help but feel pleased; he'd only used mental power at level 1, yet he'd easily hypnotized both men.
Ian then communicated with Landon Lu inside the Divine Temple and learned that Tang Shucheng was indeed the only Psychic Adept in the School of Business, but he and Landon had never interacted.
Ian's mood suddenly grew heavy; he asked the two, "Why does Tang Shucheng want to target me?"
"We don't know," they replied in unison.
After a while, the two men left the apartment, and when they reached the middle of the street, they suddenly threw away their interference devices and began attacking each other.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Their fists and feet collided repeatedly, producing a series of muffled thuds.
Without their interference devices, SkyGrid quickly detected the two and immediately relayed the information to the City Special Police.
The City Special Police, upon receiving the alert, quickly set out for the scene.
Plumridge City's City Special Police has five hundred members, with one hundred per battalion and ten per squad.
This time, the Third Battalion's Ninth Squad was dispatched, led by Captain Jason Jiang, whose Body Arts had reached the peak of seventh-level Warrior.
The armored anti-riot flyer sped over and hovered above the two fighting men.
Next, ten officers in combat uniforms leaped down from five or six meters above, landing impressively around the two fighters.
"Both of you, stop right now!"
Jason Jiang shouted in a deep voice.
But the two kept fighting fiercely, ignoring him completely. This made Jason Jiang very angry.
"Go, arrest them!"
Six City Special Police officers rushed forward, three against each fighter.
But unexpectedly, as the City Special Police rushed forward, the two men stopped fighting each other and simultaneously lunged at the six officers.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a brief fight, all six officers were knocked flying. Then, the two men fled in opposite directions.
"Damn it!"
Jason Jiang growled, drew his laser pistol, and fired two shots at their legs.
With two screams, both men fell to the ground. The officers swarmed in and arrested them.
"Let me go! Do you know who I am?"
"That's right, you'd better let me go—I'm Tang Shucheng's attendant!"
The two men struggled desperately and shouted arrogantly as they were arrested.
"Tang Shucheng!"
Jason Jiang felt that the name sounded familiar.
"Captain, Tang Shucheng is a student at the School of Business—and the only Psychic Adept there!" a squad member reminded him.
Becoming a Psychic Adept is like a carp leaping over the dragon gate. Before this, Tang Shucheng was just an ordinary student, but after his breakthrough, he was recruited by the Zhou Family—one of the Five Great Families—and assigned two seventh-level Warriors as attendants.
Hearing this, Jason Jiang frowned and waved his hand. "Take them back to headquarters first!"
Although he was only a squad captain in the City Special Police, his influence was far less than Tang Shucheng's—even though Tang was still just a student. After all, Tang was a rare Psychic Adept.
In a luxury villa, Tang Shucheng was cultivating his psychic power in the training room when the phone suddenly rang.
After answering the call, his face turned grim. He got into his flyer and headed straight to the Special Police Battalion.
Upon arrival, Tang Shucheng met with his two attendants.
He asked sharply, "What happened? Why were you fighting in the street?"
"Sorry, Young Master Tang—we don't know why we did it either!" the two said, heads bowed.
Hearing this, Tang Shucheng's expression changed abruptly. Sensitive as a Psychic Adept, he suspected his two attendants might have been hypnotized.
As for who hypnotized them, Tang Shucheng suddenly thought of someone.
But he found it unlikely; even if Landon Lu had become a Psychic Adept, he couldn't possibly hypnotize two seventh-level Warriors at once.
But this wasn't the place to talk. He decided to question them further once they were back.
Half an hour later, at the hospital.
Looking at the two men lying in hospital beds, Tang Shucheng asked in a deep voice, "You two, tell me exactly what happened."
