Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 1142: Chapter 711: The Mysterious Jade Token

When Lei Ting appeared in front of him, Chu Mo noticed a slight seriousness in his expression, which could only mean that the visitor outside must hold an extraordinary identity.

Chu Mo just calmly glanced outside the door, then quietly continued to enjoy the tender delicacies in front of him.

Although Chu Mo appeared calm, Lu Siyue beside him became anxious. She was the one who had invited Chu Mo here today, and if Chu Mo were to suffer even the slightest harm, she felt it would be equivalent to a fate worse than death.

Thus, as the commotion outside the door grew and the dozens, if not hundreds, of bodyguards seemed increasingly unable to hold back the intruders, Lu Siyue finally spoke up with caution:

“Um… Mr. Chu, should we leave here first? It’s getting a bit unsafe!”

As Lu Siyue’s words fell, Chu Mo made no move; he continued to calmly enjoy the steak in front of him. Moments later, as the noise at the door gradually subsided, Chu Mo pointed to the food on his plate and said indifferently:

“It’s going to get cold if we don’t eat it now.”

Seeing Chu Mo’s composure, Lu Siyue seemed to be influenced by him and also began to calm down. At this moment, Chu Mo noticed that the fight outside had almost completely ceased. Looking through the window glass, he could see that his bodyguards, though knocked down, were able to stand up with each other’s support—evidently, the person who had struck hadn’t intended to kill, just incapacitating his guards temporarily.

Likewise, this indicated that the one forcing their way into the door probably didn’t harbor ill intentions, or they wouldn’t have shown such restraint.

Chu Mo then cast a brief glance to his side, where Hua Zhenyu, the Family Head of one of the four great families from the Northwest, had quietly arrived. This man, possessing the strength of a Grandmaster, had an unassuming presence, as if he were an old servant with no presence at all.

Besides Hua Zhenyu, Wei Zhengpin, the Family Head of the Wei family, had also appeared in the hall.

As for the other two from the four great families, the Xuanyuan Family Head and Lu Yuanming, were not present.

Chu Mo was not surprised by this. After all, the one the four great families had sworn loyalty to was Liu Liu, not himself. Hua Zhenyu showed up merely because Chu Mo had helped him break through the Heavenly Barrier; owing Chu Mo a debt of gratitude, naturally, he could not stand idly by. As for Wei Zhengpin, the current Wei family head!

Chu Mo had successively helped three generations of Wei family, including Wei Xinran, to advance past the semi-grandmaster realm, and then later helped Wei Ran, the second-generation successor of the Wei family, to break through to the Grandmaster Realm. Chu Mo had been a significant aid to the entire Wei family, and under such circumstances, it was natural that Wei Zhengpin would not look on without action.

As Qin Lan slowly emerged in her pajamas, the fight outside the dining area had completely vanished. Following that, the doors of the dining room were gently pushed open by a pair of delicate little hands, revealing a doll-like girl who appeared before everyone in an instant.

The girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, her delicate face beaming with an innocent and radiant smile. As she pushed the door open, she stepped through gracefully, and then, a breathtakingly beautiful figure with a veil over her face walked leisurely into the hall.

The veiled woman had a curvaceous figure. Although the thin veil concealed her face, just one glance at her eyes, which shimmered like stars and the moon, was enough to suggest her extraordinary identity.

With the arrival of the veiled woman, and after rising to his feet, two elderly white-haired old men, well into their fifties, followed closely behind.

Chu Mo, after putting the last piece of steak in his mouth and chewing gently, picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth and then slowly sipped from a tall glass. Only then did his gaze drift towards the door, directly passing the leading graceful woman and the doll-like girl next to her, and instead lightly landing on the two white-haired old men who bore a striking resemblance to one another.

The two white-haired elders were dressed in gray gowns, wearing caps on their heads that seemed to belong to the last century.

While Chu Mo was taking a brief look, another commotion broke at the door. Then, under the lead of head bodyguard Jiang Tao, with a dozen A-grade Martial Artists rushing along, blood at the corners of his mouth and even a shoeprint on him, Jiang Tao once again had his men surround the few intruders. Chu Mo couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.

Every time Chu Mo traveled, he would be accompanied by dozens of personal bodyguards, among which twenty to thirty were A-grade experts; the rest were all B-grade or above Martial Artists. Along with head bodyguard Jiang Tao leading, normally, if they encounter common folks or small forces, most would take a detour and definitely would not dare charge in recklessly.

However, these bodyguards could only deal with peripheral personnel at most. If they were to encounter a true top-notch expert, even Jiang Tao, who possessed near Grandmaster strength, would have no power to resist.

The dozen bodyguards who had burst in were all injured, but even though they knew they were no match, they still tried their best to fulfill their duties. Not a single one of them retreated; all the bodyguards stood in front of Chu Mo.

Of course, Chu Mo also knew that the reason Jiang Tao and his team of bodyguards could still move was not due to their strong will; in fact, it was because the few people in front of them had held back and not delivered fatal blows.
