Buying a House

Jiangnan Base City. The sales office of the Emerald Mansion villa district.

Wang Ji sat in the reception lounge of the sales office with Wang Yan and Xia Ning.

Xia Ning took small, nervous sips of tea, and Wang Yan also felt somewhat uneasy. After all, this was Emerald Mansion, a luxury residential area in Jiangnan Base City that specialized in villas. Even though Wang Yan was currently living in a detached villa in the Bright Moon Residential Area, she hadn't bought it herself, so she felt a bit out of place here. Wang Yan's only source of confidence was the carefree Wang Ji sitting beside her.

Even in such a high-end establishment, Wang Ji's expression remained as if he didn't care at all, which made Wang Yan feel much more at ease.

"These two are nice! Let's go take a look in person!" Wang Ji said calmly. The exquisitely featured sales representative beside them maintained a dignified posture and nodded, saying, "Certainly! However, Mr. Wang, we need to verify your assets first. Would that be alright?"

Wang Ji reached into his pocket and casually tossed his Fighter ID onto the table. Wang Ji had already been certified as a War General! "How do you need to verify them?"

The young woman opened it and looked. "Fighter ID! War General level! Oh my god!" Her small hands trembled. Such a young War General-level fighter! How handsome! This was a truly significant figure! And a super-important person with limitless prospects! Her face flushed, and she respectfully handed the ID back to Wang Ji. "I am truly sorry, I was abrupt. You don't need to verify your assets. Your qualifications are beyond question!"

"Let's go!"

This villa complex was truly exquisite. The main roads were lined with lush, towering ancient trees, which must have been transplanted at a mature age. As they walked toward the rows of villas, they were surrounded by exotic flowers and plants, crafted with immense detail. The rustic solemnity and the delicate nature of the gardens were perfectly blended. The sales representative led Wang Ji to view villas on the east side, which were quieter and smaller.

The two villas were each about 300 square meters. They weren't very large, but the gardens were quite spacious, and the two properties were adjacent, offering a quiet and elegant atmosphere.

"How much?"

"The one on the left, No. 112, is 580 million, and the one on the right, No. 113, is 600 million. Both are fully furnished and ready for immediate move-in," the sales representative said with a bright smile.

"Swipe the card! Put Xia Ning's name on the left one and Wang Yan's name on the right one!" Wang Ji said, pointing at Xia Ning and Wang Yan.

"Huh?" Both Wang Yan and Xia Ning were stunned.

Eventually, after much coaxing from Wang Ji, the two villas were finally registered under the names of Wang Yan and Xia Ning.

"Wang Ji..." Xia Ning threw herself into Wang Ji's arms. Wang Ji looked at Xia Ning with amusement. "No need to worry anymore! This is the final security I can provide for you!"

"Wang Ji..." Xia Ning murmured with deep affection.

"If you're going to be like this, shouldn't we wait until we get home?" Wang Ji teased.

"Ugh... you... you're talking nonsense..."

Wang Yan glared at Wang Ji. Wang Ji laughed, "What, do you want a hug too?"

"Hmph! Go to hell! You stole my little Ning!" Wang Yan glared.

"Wang Ji, are you in the Wilderness Zone? Are you in County 0201?" Wu Tong suddenly called, asking anxiously.

"What's wrong? Uncle Wu?" Wang Ji asked curiously. He had just bought the villas and received Xia Ning's gratitude; Wang Ji was in a great mood.

"I heard from a friend that the Night Fire Squad is looking for someone in County 0201! Weren't you hunted by the Night Fire Squad last time? Are you in County 0201 right now?" Wu Tong asked urgently.

A cold sneer formed in Wang Ji's heart. He hadn't even gone to find Liu Zhendong yet, and the man was still haunting him like a ghost. He immediately replied, "I'm not there now, but I will be soon!"

"What?" Wu Tong was bewildered.

"Uncle Wu, let me ask you something. Do you think there could be a War God-level existence over there? Would the Night Fire Squad be able to hire a War God-level fighter to deal with me?" Wang Ji asked cautiously.

"What? War God-level? Do you think War God-level fighters are like cabbages? There are only three or four thousand of them in the entire world! In our country, there are fewer than 600! How many could there be in a single base city? The Night Fire Squad wants to hire a War God? How is that possible!" Wu Tong said.

"Then it's fine! Uncle Wu, I'm at the base city!" Wang Ji hung up the phone. "Sister, I have something to do, I'm heading to the military base outside the city!"

"Is it dangerous?" Wang Yan and Xia Ning asked nervously.

Wang Ji smiled to reassure them, "Not at all! Don't worry!"

Wang Ji quickly took the fighter-only passage and boarded the train to Military Base No. 8. It was more convenient to leave the city for the Wilderness Zone from there.

Two hours later, Wang Ji appeared in County 0201.

"Boss, he's not here," Liu Zhendong said.

Captain Gao Yang said nonchalantly, "If we can't find him, then so be it. This Wang Ji is considered a genius student of the Limit Martial Hall. He probably has connections, and his information might be quite sharp."

Liu Zhendong had bled heavily this time! Ever since he learned that Wang Ji had broken through to an entry-level War General, Liu Zhendong had been waking up from his dreams in a cold sweat night after night. Such a genius had to be eliminated quickly, or he would be the one waiting to be destroyed.

As for reconciliation? Ever since the days leading up to the prospective fighter exam, when Liu Zhendong hired people to cripple Wang Ji, there had been no room for reconciliation. Even if Liu Zhendong put himself in Wang Ji's shoes, he wouldn't let it go. Therefore, only one method remained: strike fast and kill with one blow!

To convince his captain and the others this time, Liu Zhendong had put up his entire net worth. A full 600 million! This was all his savings from the past few years.

200 million for the captain, and 100 million for each of the others. This was the reward Liu Zhendong promised. Otherwise, the others wouldn't risk offending the Limit Martial Hall to do this.

In the Wilderness Zone, unless there was concrete evidence, killings were usually left unresolved. This was an unspoken rule. This was also why the others dared to take the job.

"He's here! We found him!" Liu Zhendong said with pleasant surprise.

The moment Wang Ji stepped into County 0201, he was spotted by Liu Zhendong.

Liu Zhendong was ecstatic. "Wang Ji, you're dead!" In his estimation, Wang Ji should be at the peak of an entry-level War General, nearing the intermediate level. But since he had only become a fighter recently, he was likely the weakest of the intermediate War Generals. And Liu Zhendong's greatest source of confidence was that his captain, Gao Qiang, had already broken through to a high-level War General!

A high-level War General with rich combat experience and training in high-level secret manuals could exert double the combat power. Killing Wang Ji would be no different than killing a chicken. As long as Wang Ji was dead, even if all his savings from the past few years were spent, it would be worth it.

"Scorpion, snipe him from 300-500 meters! Everyone else, follow me!" Gao Qiang commanded calmly. Gao Qiang didn't have much animosity toward Wang Ji. Although he had been in a squad with Liu Zhendong for over two years, there was no deep affection. They weren't exactly brothers. However, the 200 million price tag was more than enough for Gao Qiang to take action. Business is business; making money is nothing to be ashamed of!

"Shoo..."

Wang Ji's spiritual force scan was fully activated, covering a radius of 200 meters, all under his mental surveillance.

The bullet, traveling far beyond the speed of sound, entered the range of Wang Ji's spiritual force perception.

"Here it comes!" Wang Ji revealed a faint smile.
