Swallowed Star: Inverse Heaven Comprehension, Join the Chat Group

Gao Feng and the others were filled with emotion.

The nerves stretched taut at the edge of life and death could only truly relax once they arrived at the base city.

"The base city, the last safe haven of human society!"

Luo Feng was also deeply moved: "Even if not for money, for the peace of human society behind us, as martial artists we really should step up. Every extra monster we kill brings one more measure of peace to the human base city!"

"Luo Feng, your awareness is really high!"

Chen Gu patted his shoulder with a smile and said: "All those privileges we martial artists get are so we can go out and hunt more monsters!"

"Behind us is home. Even if not for the privileges, for my wife and daughter, I'd go without hesitation!"

Zhang Ke spoke with a resolute expression, then opened his communicator and revealed a sincere, happy smile: "Yes, honey, I'm back. Mm, I'll be home by noon. In the afternoon, I'll go with you to pick up our daughter!"

"Mm, honey, yes, I'm back."

Jiang Li also called Ling Ling, saying with a smile: "Don't worry, there wasn't any danger at all. My team members are really strong..."

"Me?"

"Why would I need to do anything? I was just in charge of collecting materials in the back..."

Hearing Jiang Li's call with Ling Ling, the other six members of the Fire Hammer Squad were instantly dumbfounded, exchanging bewildered looks.

Did we hear that right?

We're really strong?

He just collected materials?

Bro, you can sweet-talk your wife all you want!

But saying that makes us feel ashamed!

"Come on, get in the car!"

Walking out through the martial artist passage, a row of dedicated vehicles was parked at the entrance.

Seeing Jiang Li's group come out, all the dedicated vehicle drivers immediately snapped to full alert.

"Let's go, first to the HR Alliance Mall..."

"Jiang Li, I can't repay the life-saving grace for now, but this meal is a must!"

Gao Feng called everyone to board the dedicated vehicle heading to the HR Alliance Mall.

"Bro Jiang, don't refuse. Letting the captain treat us to a meal will make him feel better."

Mentioning the HR Alliance Mall, Luo Feng rarely chimed in to support.

"Alright!"

Jiang Li shook his head with a smile: "Anyway, all three of us are heading back to Mingyue Residential Area anyway."

"Jiang Li, Luo Feng isn't trying to make the captain feel better—he wants to see that girl named what? Xu Xin? Right, Xu Xin's little sister!"

Chen Gu chuckled, looking at Luo Feng: "I could tell she's got a crush on you too. Build that connection, get to know each other deeper!"

"What crush!!!"

Luo Feng's eyes went wide.

"Haha, that wasn't me, that was your Bro Jiang."

Jiang Li: "..."

"Can't any of you be serious for once!"

Gao Feng scolded with a laugh, then warned: "Luo Feng, let me say this—that little girl Xu Xin, becoming a manager at the HR Alliance Mall at such a young age, her background must be something. You'd better be careful."

"Captain, that doesn't sound very serious either?"

Wei Tie couldn't help but say: "What do you mean by careful? Is Luo Feng the type to mess around and abandon someone?"

"Exactly!"

Wei Qing chimed in.

The group went back and forth, managing to turn a dignified Warrior General-level Psychic's face bright red.

"Are you talking about Miss Xu Xin?"

At that moment, the dedicated vehicle driver chimed in with surprise.

"You know Xu Xin?"

Luo Feng immediately grew curious.

"Of course I do!" The driver laughed. "We dedicated drivers run to the mall every day, and we often chat about things at the Alliance Mall. That young lady Xu Xin is no simple person!"

"Don't let her looks fool you—she's not drop-dead gorgeous, but I hear whoever marries her won't have to struggle for the rest of their life!"

"Meaning..."

Gao Feng's expression shifted slightly: "Is she from one of the HR Alliance's twelve great families in the Hanxia Kingdom? The Xu Family?"

"That's right, the Xu Family."

The driver nodded. "I heard from a buddy of mine that she holds a pretty high position in the Xu family too? Even that previous manager of the Xu family had to respectfully address her as 'Miss'!"

Luo Feng listened, his face showing surprise as well.

The HR Alliance, like the two major martial arts halls, spanned the globe.

Aside from the nine lofty families and conglomerates at the top, there were dozens of second-tier families and conglomerates.

But even those second-tier families and conglomerates possessed terrifying amounts of power and wealth.

"Holy shit!"

Zhang Ke let out a classic expletive. "That's some serious backing!"

"Looks like trying to win over this Xu Xin is going to be damn hard!" Chen Gu raised an eyebrow at Jiang Li. "Jiang Li, how about you share some tips with Luo Feng?"

"Me?"

Jiang Li was taken aback, forcing an awkward smile. "You guys might not believe this..."

"My meeting with Ling Ling was pure coincidence."

"How coincidental?"

In an instant, the members of the Fire Hammer Squad all craned their necks, crowding around Jiang Li.

"Pure coincidence, I swear!"

Seeing the gossip-hungry looks on their faces, Jiang Li said with exasperation, "We both ordered a cup of coffee. I just came back from the restroom, and she'd drunk mine!"

!!!

"Wait... for real?"

"God, who made up that story? That's insane!"

"I thought that only happened in idol dramas!"

"..."

The Fire Hammer Squad members all wore expressions of utter disbelief.

Just then.

Jiang Li's communicator rang. It was Wu Tong calling.

"Jiang Li, have you made it back to the base city?"

"Yeah, just got to the HR Alliance Mall!"

"Good, wait there. Special Envoy Yang Hui wants to see you!"

"Special Envoy?"

Hearing that title, the Fire Hammer Squad members all looked shocked.

Anyone who could be called a 'Special Envoy' was at least a War God-level figure.

What's more.

They all heard it clearly—it was 'the Special Envoy wants to see you!'

Not 'you need to go see the Special Envoy!'

"In the car, I was still thinking I could make three to five hundred million this year!"

"Looks like my dream of riding Big Bro Jiang's coattails is shattered!"

Wei Tie and Wei Qing immediately wore bitter expressions.

Before they could banter further, a roaring boom cut through the air, entering the HR Alliance Mall and instantly drawing everyone's attention.

"Holy crap, that's a Flying Fighter!"

Zhang Ke exclaimed. "Could that be the 'Special Envoy' himself?"

"Coming this fast—is he afraid Jiang Li might run off?!"

Other martial artists murmured among themselves as well.

"Is that a Military Region fighter?"

"Exactly, and it's a War God's exclusive fighter. You don't see those more than a few times a year!"

"Why would it come to the HR Alliance Mall? Is there some big shot here?"

"Wasn't there a Military Region train that just came back? Maybe someone else broke through to War God!"

"Could be!"

"..."

And then.

'Beep!'
