Chapter 80
You're a smart person, you know what to do!
Upon hearing this, the man with the slicked-back hair looked horrified, thinking he had misheard.
"What did you say?"
"I said Luo Chen is back. He looks to be in good condition and shows no signs of injury."
The voice came from the other end of the phone again, and the man with the slicked-back hair stopped.
For a moment I didn't know what to say, but I hung up the phone.
He tossed his phone on the table, a hint of disdain in his expression.
"Heh, I thought Luo Chen had some special skills."
"Looks like he's just a big talker; he probably only took a quick trip to White Crane Mountain and came right back!"
"Or rather... he never even went to Baihe Mountain!"
The slick-back-haired man was disdainful, thinking that Luo Chen had never even been to Baihe Mountain.
After all, he knew best what the situation was like on White Crane Mountain.
If Luo Chen really went there to investigate and even fought with them, he wouldn't be able to come back unharmed!
Therefore, it is very likely that Luo Chen never went there at all.
Zhang He didn't say anything, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Luo Chen had returned.
Goodness, he was so worried.
"Alright, whether he went or not, let's drop this matter!"
"We should discuss the matter of Baihe Mountain further later!"
Zhang He said that he was really worried about him that night.
He definitely doesn't want to go through that kind of worry again!
The man with the slicked-back hair scoffed, "Don't worry, with Luo Chen's guts, do you think he'd dare go?"
But he forgot why Luo Chen came to West Lake this time, and what he did there.
Just then, Zhang He's phone rang.
"It's Manager Bai!"
In the past, he would have answered the call immediately, but now, having just gone through something like this, he was a little unsure of himself!
He paused for a moment before answering the phone.
"Zhang He, I've seen what happened at Baihe Mountain, it's very good!"
"Excellent work! Not only did they kill Shanqi, but they also annihilated and destroyed a ghost realm!"
"There's also the Mountain Spirit Goddess, and all sorts of fierce and monstrous demons!"
"Well done!! I doubt there are any more fierce demons or monsters on White Crane Mountain now!"
Manager Bai's voice, tinged with amusement, silenced Zhang He and the slick-haired man.
The disdain on the slick-haired man's face gradually turned into doubt, then astonishment, and finally disbelief!
They suddenly realized something, and their expressions changed drastically!
Is it...
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
They might not know about other things, but they were very clear about the situation at Baihe Mountain.
A elusive mountain weeping creature, along with a fierce ghost whose strength is unknown, possesses the power of the Ghost Realm.
This combination, even if they all mobilize, would not be an easy task to wipe out or destroy.
Not to mention that there are other strange demons and monsters in Baihe Mountain.
Deep within, they knew there was an even more powerful figure, but they truly didn't know that it was actually a Mountain Spirit Goddess!
That lineup was completely wiped out in one night...
They might not believe what others say, but now it's the one speaking who's in charge.
Manager Bai would never joke around!
Before they could react, Steward Bai added, "But why is it that only Luo Chen submitted the mission?"
Zhang He wasn't stupid; he had managed to get to his current position. He immediately sensed the slight displeasure in Manager Bai's tone.
"Um...that...Captain Luo thinks we're too bad and doesn't want us to go!"
He didn't know how to explain it, so this was the only explanation he could come up with.
These were indeed words spoken by Luo Chen himself, so they weren't exactly lies.
Manager Bai paused for a moment: "That's more like his style!"
Then, Steward Bai added, "This time I'm letting Luo Chen stay at West Lake; you mustn't have any objections!"
"This kid's been getting too much attention lately, and he's offended a lot of people, both openly and secretly!"
"He must be kept under control. Once this storm passes, I'll transfer him back!"
"It's good to have this guy there to help you with some things. Putting everything else aside, this kid's a real fighter!"
Manager Bai paused for a moment as he spoke.
He then continued, "You're a smart person too, you should know what to do!"
"He may be a bit young, but our Supermarket Management Bureau doesn't consider age!"
The following words sounded more like a clear warning.
Is Manager Bai some kind of stupid person who doesn't know the intricacies behind this?
But that's all he could say. How much they actually listened to was up to them.
In short, the last person who tried to target Luo Chen met a terrible end.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang He quickly searched for tasks related to Baihe Mountain on the platform.
They saw the photos Luo Chen uploaded, and even submitted a report.
The report was very simple, just a few sentences. The gist of it was that he encountered Shanqi, died, encountered Guiyu and destroyed it, chased and killed Ligui, and then died!
I encountered another Mountain Spirit Goddess, and I died again!
Anyway, all that's left is to dry out and die!
After reading it, the two fell silent.
For a moment, I didn't know what else to say.
But they are only now realizing a problem.
Luo Chen didn't need their help at all.
So their talk about disobeying Luo Chen's orders is a complete joke.
They never intended to rely on them at all!
"I think we should pay Captain Luo a visit in person!"
The man with the slicked-back hair suddenly spoke.
He may be petty and narrow-minded, but he's not an idiot or a moron.
They already know how powerful Luo Chen is, so why would they still target him? Isn't that just courting death?
Besides, they're not even in the same league. It's a miracle Luo Chen didn't kill him.
Zhang He nodded in agreement.
That makes perfect sense!
The martial arts world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social dynamics!
Now, personally visiting Luo Chen is a matter of social etiquette!
They certainly didn't want this favor to turn into a disaster!
"Wait... I think we need to call everyone together and discuss this first!"
"Let's give them a heads-up, so that some unsuspecting guys don't accidentally offend Luo Chen later, that would be troublesome."
Suddenly, the slick-haired man realized it was really necessary!
Zhang He nodded: "That's true! Besides, Luo Chen just got back and should be resting. It wouldn't be good for us to disturb him now!"
After thinking for a moment, Zhang He called out again, "Xiao Li!"
The door opened!
A young man in a suit came in.
"Go to my house right now and bring me my thousand-year-old ginseng and deer blood wine!"
Xiao Li: "Wasn't that what you were going to give to your father?"
Zhang He said very seriously, "I'm going to take it and give it to my father!"
Although Xiao Li didn't understand, he expressed his understanding.
But how old is Luo Chen? How old is Zhang He?
Never mind, I don't understand...
Xiao Li said he really didn't understand, but he still quickly did as instructed...
