Bounty

Two days later, Luo Feng sought out Wang Cheng for guidance twice more. Then, he rejoined his teammates in the Fire Hammer Squad and headed back to the Wilderness Area.

Wang Cheng paid no mind to Luo Feng's departure. After Luo Feng left, he continued his training as usual.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Cheng had been steadily cultivating for nearly a month.

One morning, Wang Cheng was lounging on the sofa, watching the morning show. Suddenly, the program on the television switched to the news, reporting a rather unusual bounty.

"A bounty for the murderer of their son? One hundred billion?" Wang Cheng looked at the couple on the news. The husband appeared somewhat grim, while the wife exuded an air of wealth.

"The Li Yao couple!" Wang Cheng recognized them.

To ordinary people, the Li Yao couple were significant figures. Coupled with the astronomical bounty they offered, the entire Huaxia Country region would likely be abuzz for some time.

However, this had nothing to do with Wang Cheng. Even though he knew there was a ninety percent chance Luo Feng was responsible!

As Wang Cheng pondered, a cold laugh suddenly echoed from behind him.

"What? Do you have something to say?" Wang Cheng glanced curiously at Jiang Mingyue, who was mopping the floor behind him. Jiang Mingyue had clearly noticed the content of the news.

"I just find it rather absurd that a national broadcast is being used to report something like this. What do you think, Brother Cheng?" Jiang Mingyue asked.

"It is a bit absurd, but the Li Yao couple are influential and powerful, so it's not entirely surprising!" Wang Cheng replied lazily.

"."

Jiang Mingyue said nothing further. She simply continued mopping the floor.

"Do you have a grudge against them?" Wang Cheng asked, somewhat curiously.

"Not a major one, but if I had the chance, I wouldn't mind getting rid of them!" Jiang Mingyue stated frankly, and Wang Cheng believed she wasn't joking.

Jiang Mingyue was a ruthless person. Just look at Silvia's team. She had incited a beast horde to retaliate against them simply because they had taken a Shadow Wolf carcass from her.

One had to understand that inciting a beast horde was no easy feat. If things went wrong, she could easily have been caught in the crossfire.

Jiang Mingyue was ruthless towards others and equally ruthless towards herself. She was undoubtedly a formidable individual!

After a while, Jiang Mingyue finished tidying the house and then turned to serve Wang Cheng tea, massage his legs, and knead his shoulders, appearing quite practiced.

It had to be said, Jiang Mingyue's ideological awareness was truly high. In the past month, she had always followed Wang Cheng's instructions without question. Even though Wang Cheng had intended to be demanding of Jiang Mingyue, he couldn't find any fault with her now.

As Wang Cheng leisurely passed the time, the phone in his villa suddenly rang.

Wang Cheng didn't move. At this moment, Jiang Mingyue, acting with great initiative, handed him the phone.

"Hello?"

Wang Cheng took the phone with a hint of confusion. He had severed most of his social connections during this period, leaving only a handful. Who would be calling him now?

"Hello, War God Wang Cheng, it's me!"

A familiar voice came from the receiver. The way the word "War God" was emphasized made Wang Cheng immediately realize who was on the line.

Wang Cheng glanced at Jiang Mingyue, who had already gone to busy herself. He then smiled and said, "Silvia, it's been a while since I heard your voice!"

"You never contact me proactively, so how would you hear my voice?" Silvia asked.

"I was afraid of disturbing you! I know Warriors are very busy!" Wang Cheng smiled.

"..."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Silvia quickly revealed the true purpose of her call.

She was planning to visit China and wanted to meet Wang Cheng to repay his life-saving favor from last time.

Wang Cheng had no objections to such a request, but he still asked, "Why are you suddenly thinking of coming to China?"

"Do you know about the Li Yao couple in your country offering a hundred billion for the killer of their son? I'm planning to try my luck. If I can find any clues, it would be a huge windfall!" Silvia said. Wang Cheng was slightly surprised.

"The treasure I offered you last time was worth far more than a hundred billion, and you weren't tempted. Why are you interested this time?" Wang Cheng asked.

"That's different!" Silvia replied without hesitation, showing no regret for her past decision.

"Alright, then tell me where we should meet!" Wang Cheng didn't dwell on it.

"Where are you living now? I'll come find you!" Silvia said.

"Mm, I'm at..." Wang Cheng glanced at Jiang Mingyue and finally revealed his address.

Jiang Mingyue used to go by the alias Jiang Yueming, and her current appearance was vastly different from her true self. Silvia likely wouldn't recognize her.

"It sounds rather ordinary, not befitting your status!" Silvia said with some surprise. However, she quickly agreed and mentioned she would arrive by evening.

"Tsk!"

Wang Cheng shook his head. He then called Jiang Mingyue over and informed her about Silvia's impending visit. To Wang Cheng's surprise, Jiang Mingyue showed no particular reaction.

"Don't worry, Brother Cheng. The one who has a grudge against her is Jiang Yueming. I won't ruin your plans!" Jiang Mingyue said shrewdly.

"You're quite understanding!" Wang Cheng asked, somewhat surprised.

"Moderately so. I've seen a lot," Jiang Mingyue nodded. Then, she asked curiously, "By the way, is there a reproductive barrier between Alien Humans and Earthlings?"

"How would I know?" Wang Cheng said speechlessly. He continued, "Go prepare. Silvia is a guest from afar; we must host her properly tonight!"

"Okay!"

Jiang Mingyue nodded, then she ran into the kitchen to get busy.

Jiang Mingyue was a good cook. When Wang Cheng wanted something to eat before, he would call a big restaurant to deliver it. But now, it was basically all made by Jiang Mingyue. He didn't know where a High-level War General learned such good cooking skills.

Jiang Mingyue had been busy all day. By evening, Silvia arrived outside the Mingyue Community. After receiving her call, Wang Cheng immediately asked Jiang Mingyue to go out and lead her in.

Although Silvia felt Wang Cheng's place was ordinary, it was still a Warrior Community, and it was difficult for strangers to enter. Strangers needed a resident to vouch for them!

Of course, these were minor matters. What truly made Wang Cheng breathe a sigh of relief was that when Jiang Mingyue led Silvia in, the two were chatting and laughing. Silvia didn't notice at all that Jiang Mingyue was the enemy she was looking for, "Jiang Yueming"!

It had to be said that Jiang Mingyue's acting skills were good, and her psychological fortitude was strong.

Upon seeing Wang Cheng, Silvia first hugged him, then whispered in his ear, "The maid you found is really good. She has a great temperament, a good figure, and is beautiful. No wonder you haven't contacted me!"

"You misunderstood!" Wang Cheng smiled helplessly. He wasn't that kind of person.

"..."

Wang Cheng didn't know what Silvia was thinking, but she indeed didn't mention it again.

The slightly restless night passed quickly. The Second day, Silvia left the Mingyue Community alone as if nothing had happened.

Her trip to China this time was just a side visit to see Wang Cheng. Investigating the murderer of the Li Yao couple's son was Silvia's main objective, so she naturally wouldn't stay long.
