Chapter 48: The Young Lady of the Long Family

“Young lady, you’ve arrived!” It was a man in his early forties, with short hair and a square face covered in slight stubble. His eyes, tinged with red veins, revealed the fatigue he had endured these past days.
“Ao Uncle…” Long Yue nodded at him. “Ao Uncle still looks the same after all these years…”
“I can’t take it anymore. I’m getting old; I’ll be sixty in a couple of years…” Long Ao shook his head and smiled.
“Ao Uncle, I want to know about my brother. Can you tell me?” Long Yue asked bluntly.
“The young master…” Long Ao’s eyes were filled with sorrow. “I originally thought that two experts at the later stage of the Innate Realm would be enough to protect him…”
“Later stage of the Innate Realm? What exactly happened? Experts at that level should be able to handle many things—so why is my brother still…” As an expert at that level herself, Long Yue knew very well what kind of power and speed such a being possessed—hundreds of times greater than that of ordinary humans.
“They somehow brought in a vampire baron to hunt down Young Master Long Tian…” Li Qing replied coldly.
“A baron? A vampire who has received a title?” Long Yue clenched her fists. She knew well what it meant for a vampire to hold such a title—how powerful they must be. “So that thing killed my brother and then left?”
“No, he was killed!” Li Qing said calmly. “After learning about the vampire baron, I kept searching for Young Master Long Tian’s hiding place but found no clues. Until a couple of days ago, I sensed a powerful vampire aura near City H, so I rushed there. By the time I arrived, Young Master Long Tian had already been killed. Only Ye Feng and his two companions were left, and Ye Feng was unconscious. I asked his companions, and they said Ye Feng used a special weapon to kill the vampire, but the weapon disappeared after he lost consciousness. So I didn’t see what exactly he used.”
“Ye Feng killed a vampire baron with a special weapon?” Long Yue found it hard to believe.
“That’s what Ye Feng’s companions said. And by the time I arrived, the vampire was already gone. If he left, given his personality, he wouldn’t have left any survivors.” Li Qing nodded. “There was also a strange energy residue in the air. I called Mr. Long right away. You know what happened after that. I brought back Young Master Long Tian’s body and informed you, and you took it back to the Long family.”

“How much do you know about Ye Feng?” Long Yue suddenly asked, feeling a strong interest in this young man.
“He’s an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. Before going to college, aside from having a slightly higher IQ than average, he seemed nothing special. I investigated him the first time he came into contact with the young master, and there were no issues. But ever since Liu Hai left to open the Emperor Bar, Ye Feng seems to have acquired some special ability—though we still haven’t figured out what it is. Moreover, his growth rate is astonishing. Even at the early stage of displaying his abilities, his strength was already enough to rival mid-stagepostnatal warriors, and he wasn’t afraid of basic firearms.”
“Four months ago, the young master accidentally discovered the secret of his hidden strength and broke ties with him. After that, he was chosen by a group of skilled hunters as their teammate and went to New York, USA. In just four months, he single-handedly killed ten peakpostnatal warriors and several early-stageinnate warriors warriors, using extremely special firearms and ammunition. Among those who died at his hands were two vampires and a werewolf.” Long Ao shared all the information he had gathered during that time with Long Yue. “Until a few days ago when he returned to the country, he immediately went to find the severely injured young master, only to encounter that vampire baron.”
“However, for some reason, his two teammates went back to the United States, leaving him alone. In a short time, he disrupted Pearl’s business twice and killed several major drug lords,” Li Qing added.
“No wonder that woman, Pearl, kidnapped Ye Feng’s classmate, saying she wanted to talk to him.” Long Yue finally understood why Pearl suddenly started causing trouble for Ye Feng.
“We’re aware of that incident too, but we couldn’t spare anyone to help. Pearl sent two capable individuals—one with shapeshifting skills who could turn into anyone’s appearance and was also an early-stageinnate warriors warrior. The other was a peakpostnatal warrior with supernatural strength, a hundred times stronger than ordinary people. All our warriors here are currently occupied, so all we could do was send someone to inform Ye Feng about this,” Li Qing nodded.
“Who’s really behind that woman, Pearl? What’s her goal?” Long Yue frowned. Not only was Long Ao himself a peak-stageinnate warriors warrior, but he also had someone as strong as Li Qing under his command, yet they still weren’t at an advantage—proving that their opponent was indeed extremely powerful.

“It’s not clear yet. All I know is that they’re targeting me. You know I’m in the pharmaceutical business and almost dominate half of the domestic market, which has made me many enemies. Before Pearl arrived here, someone did attack several of my factories, but I had top experts stationed at each factory, so nothing serious happened.”
“Recently, they’ve been focusing entirely on my headquarters in City H. At the same time, that woman named Pearl has also been targeting the young master, probably to distract me,” Long Ao explained.
“I understand. If that’s the case, I’ll first take revenge on that woman, Pearl, and then ask my father to send some skilled members of our clan to help you resolve this crisis completely. I’ll also figure out who’s behind this and who planned it all to kill my brother. Whoever it is, they must pay with their blood!” A fierce look flashed in Long Yue’s eyes.
“Miss, no matter what, you need to be careful. That woman, Pearl, is very skilled. I think you should take Ye Feng with you. Since he knows how to kill vampire barons, he can provide extra protection for your safety,” Long Ao suggested.
“Do you know where Ye Feng is now?” Long Yue asked, looking at Long Ao expectantly.
“Radisson Dragonjing Manor, Room 203,” Long Ao nodded. “Actually, I’ve wanted to talk to him for a long time, so I’ve been keeping an eye on him, but I just haven’t had the time.”
“Good. Let’s see what kind of friend my brother has made,” Long Yue nodded, a mysterious smile appearing at the corners of her lips. “And maybe test his strength at the same time…”
