"Mm." Luo Hua's entire demeanor had changed completely. Before, he felt life was hopeless, a fate worse than death. But after seeing the miraculous effect of the 'Water of Life' and the massive deposit figure on Luo Feng's phone, Luo Hua was suddenly full of vitality! Pushing the wheelchair, Luo Feng took his younger brother downstairs.

Father Luo Hongguo and Mother Gong Xinlan were sitting silently on the sofa. In just one day, from yesterday to today, the blow to the couple had been too immense. Their youngest son had actually jumped into the river to commit suicide, and even now, his emotions were so low and unstable.

"What do we do?"

"What on earth should we do?" The couple was at a complete loss. Breakfast had long been ready in the kitchen, but no one had the appetite to eat.

Suddenly—"Dad, Mom!" Luo Feng pushed the wheelchair, bringing his brother downstairs, and called out with a smile, "Where's breakfast? Let's eat together."

"Breakfast?" Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan both stood up.

The younger brother, Luo Hua, also smiled: "Mom, Dad, I'm starving."

Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan stared at their youngest son, 'Luo Hua,' as if he were a monster. Then they suddenly snapped back to reality. Luo Hongguo even exclaimed, "Starving is good, starving is good! Quick, quick, serve breakfast!"

"Qin Ma," Gong Xinlan called out, rushing towards the kitchen.

Father Luo Hongguo also ran into the kitchen. The entire home was instantly filled with vitality, devoid of any previous gloom.

Luo Feng watched this scene and smiled: "He's passed this hurdle. Once my brother's legs grow back and he can stand, the family will surely be even happier." What was the point of him risking his life to steal the dragon egg? Wasn't it all to gather enough money as soon as possible to buy the Water of Life for his brother?

Heaven had also helped; when he stole the dragon egg, he happened to acquire a set of Wargod equipment, which instantly brought the massive sum of 300 million closer to being complete.

Jiangnan Base City, main urban area.

In the opulent mountaintop villa on 'Hua Yi Peak' in the Jiangnan Landscape Residential Area, the martial artist known as 'Viper,' the High-Tier Wargod 'Venina Polenas,' sat on the sofa with a cold expression. Beside her, the expressionless, bald Vulture Li Yao stood like a drawn knife.

"Any results?" Li Yao said coldly.

In the living room, the middle-aged butler in a black suit respectfully stated, "Sir, Madam. Among the previous list of investigative targets, after our investigation over these past few days, twelve individuals show a higher probability of involvement. However, even with one-on-one tracking over this period, we still lack sufficient evidence to confirm any specific person."

"Meaning, you still can't give me a target?" A murderous aura surged violently in Li Yao's eyes.

Hoo! The butler in the black suit felt as if he were being stared down by a massive beast, causing him to hold his breath respectfully: "Among the twelve, in terms of motive, some have suffered oppression from the HR Alliance and might have acted against the Young Master out of revenge. Some hold grudges against the Young Master's bodyguard, 'Karon.' Others have enmity with the team led by the Young Master's bodyguard, 'Panya,' the 'Tiger Tooth Squad'… In terms of motive, we can identify eight people who hold some reason. But these motives are very minor; unless their brains are completely broken, they wouldn't kill the Young Master."

"Useless!" Li Yao roared. "Someone who has a grudge against Awei’s bodyguards kills Awei? And that so-called Tiger Tooth Squad—what kind of damn squad is that? What level of enemy could they possibly incur!" He scolded, "Remember, the person who killed Awei is an expert capable of instantly killing two High-Tier War Generals and two Mid-Tier War Generals, preventing all four from sending back any message!"

"Yes," the butler replied respectfully.

"Remember, this killer is extremely strong, at most only concealing their achievements! Being able to instantly kill two High-Tier War Generals in the base city implies their age should be above twenty!" Li Yao instructed. "In this list of suspects, besides the deceased, many of the living individuals are quite young and weak, some having just passed the 'Martial Artist Practical Assessment.' Are you telling me those youngsters have the ability to instantly kill two High-Tier War Generals?"

"What Sir says is true," the butler responded deferentially.

Li Yao coldly commanded, "Carefully investigate their past deeds. Who is more likely to be a hidden expert? If you suspect anyone, investigate them thoroughly for me!"

"Understood!" The butler dared not say more.

"Hmm! Anyone who shows even a hint of potential strength at the 'Wargod' level, or anyone who might be a Psychic, focus your surveillance and investigation efforts on them!" Li Yao said coldly. "Of course, the priority targets must be investigated thoroughly, but those with lower probability, you must still monitor them. Record everything about them—bank deposits, wilderness combat achievements, their relatives and friends—document everything from every angle."

"Yes," the butler replied respectfully.

"You and I have been together for so many years. I do not wish to see the slightest slack on this matter, understand?" Li Yao’s voice was deep, carrying a hidden threat of death.

Beads of sweat broke out on the butler's forehead: "I understand." He certainly knew how formidable this master of the house was. Even 'Viper,' Venina Polenas, the eldest daughter born into the Polenas family, was a High-Tier Wargod! Yet, facing Li Yao, she usually maintained a slightly subordinate posture.

"Go!" Li Yao waved his hand.

The butler quickly departed.

After the butler left, only Li Yao and Venina Polenas remained in the grand hall.

"Yao, if the killer deliberately planned to kill our son, they likely wouldn't have carried their communication watches," Venina’s slightly accented Mandarin sounded. "This suggests that none of those suspects might be the killer."

"I know that possibility exists."

Li Yao said coldly, "But we absolutely cannot let go of a single opportunity. If it weren't for too many people involved... I'd rather mistakenly kill a thousand than let one slip by!" Cold light flashed in Li Yao's eyes. This time, over five hundred people were involved, drawing connections to the Limit Martial Arts Center, the Thunder Martial Arts Center, government troops, and so on.

Given that these people were near the base city, with some frequently entering the city, he didn't dare eliminate them all at once. If it were only a few dozen, he would still have taken action immediately.

"Yao, who do you think did this?" Venina frowned.

"Globally, there are no fewer than ten High-Tier Wargods who have grudges against me, Li Yao. Back when I helped you secure the position of Executive CEO for the HR Alliance's China region, we offended quite a few people. Fortunately, when I successfully emerged from that Ancient Civilization Ruins, those monsters and fiends all dared not act against us!" Li Yao said coldly. "Don't let me find out who plotted against me and caused Awei’s death." In reality, in the eyes of the two powerhouses, Venina and Li Yao, the most likely culprits were enemies from their past Wargod days.

However, Li Yao and Venina would not abandon investigating the 506 suspects.

Yangzhou City, Mingyue Residential Area.

Luo Feng was completely relaxed. He spent some time chatting with the martial artists at the 'Limit Martial Arts Center,' but mostly, he immersed himself alone in practicing the Nine-Layer Thunder Blade.

"Hey, Captain."

In the nerve reaction testing room at the Limit Martial Arts Center, Luo Feng walked over, picked up his phone, and answered. "Oh, you guys plan to go to the wilderness area after the New Year, on March 1st? Fine, I have no issue with that. I also want to stay home comfortably for a couple of months, ponder over my blade techniques, and yes, we'll head to the wilderness area after the New Year."

"You all know about my brother's situation? That spread fast."

"What can I do? When something like this happens, there’s nothing I can do, but thankfully, my brother is already—" "Yes, I'm cultivating my movement techniques. Okay, I’ll talk to you later."

Luo Feng hung up the phone and placed it near the corner of the wall, then walked back towards the nerve reaction testing machine.

Though it was called a testing machine, Luo Feng treated it entirely as a training device.

"Intermediate War General level test, duration one and a half minutes." Luo Feng adjusted the test time on the machine; this was already the maximum duration. Under the constant barrage of rubber bullets, it was indeed excellent for training one's dodging ability, and Luo Feng frequently came here to train.

Sweaty, Luo Feng stuffed his phone and other miscellaneous items into his pockets.

"After more than a month in the wilderness, I spent the vast majority of my time absorbing gene energy daily to strengthen my body. Now, I'm not far from the physical fitness standard for 'Novice War General.'"

"I need to work hard and see how much I can improve over these next two months."

The days passed. On New Year's Eve, the Luo Feng family happily watched the Spring Festival Gala together. During the Spring Festival days, Luo Feng and his family also went out to socialize with some friends. As for relatives? Luo Feng truly had few, as both his father and mother were orphans from the Great Nirvana Era. The Great Nirvana Era had shattered countless families, resulting in many orphans.

On the morning of February 26th.

Luo Feng, dressed in a white training suit, walked toward the Limit Martial Arts Center with a smile.

"Crazy Man, heading to the center so early in the morning?" a burly man with a big beard laughed.

"I'm heading to the wilderness area in a couple of days, so I need to cram a bit now and train hard," Luo Feng replied with a smile. The big-bearded man blinked: "Damn, Crazy Man, don't say things that make people jealous. 'Cramming' right before going out? I was there when you took your Provisional Martial Artist Assessment, and in the blink of an eye, you're stronger than me."

Luo Feng chuckled: "The younger generation always surpasses the old; each generation must be stronger than the last."

"Go, go, stop making me angry," the big-bearded man cursed jokingly.

Luo Feng also stepped into the Limit Martial Arts Center, heading to the sixth floor.

In the early morning, the Limit Martial Arts Center was usually nearly empty, and today was no exception. Luo Feng only came this early to test the results of his recent training. His scores from the last test on December 1st were: Speed 78.6 meters per second, Fist Force 6121g, with a burst capacity reaching nearly 13000g. Nerve reaction test: Novice War General level, Excellent. Luo Feng stretched his body slightly. "It's February 26th now; in nearly three months, I wonder what my current physical fitness level has reached!"
