Chapter 270

He had felt this kind of gaze on Lu Shu before.

Even Song Jun, the Soldier King, could not have given him such pressure with a single glance.

Lin Fan opened his mouth, but before he could speak,

the warrior in front had already turned and walked into the courtyard, leaving behind a hoarse voice.

"Let's go. Master Li is waiting for you."

Lin Fan slowly stepped into this small courtyard,

and saw an old man in a Zhongshan suit sitting sideways in the corner, holding a watering can and watering flowers.

The old man gave off no special aura.

He was somewhat thin, with completely white hair and a face covered in wrinkles,

looking just like a gentle, reserved old man in his twilight years.

Lin Fan took another deep breath and quietly walked to the old man's side.

Even though his heart was in utter turmoil over Lu Shu's bounty,

he could only wait quietly while the old man watered the flowers.

Only when the old man put down the watering can and picked up a towel to wipe his hands,

did Lin Fan suppress his voice and respectfully call out,

"Master Li."

The old man called Master Li turned around and looked at Lin Fan with a smile in his eyes.

"No need to rush. I already know about those matters."

"Sit down and have a cup of tea."

Master Li walked to the pavilion in the center of the courtyard, picked up the boiled teapot, and poured two cups of tea.

It was not top-grade tea leaves, just ordinary ones, but the taste was very strong.

"He is merely the Prime Minister of a salted H Island nation. If he can truly be killed, then kill him."

Lin Fan listened as Master Li spoke these words casually while drinking tea.

He almost choked on a mouthful of tea.

"But Master Li, this will surely cause a huge diplomatic crisis, and it might even..."

Master Li smiled and spoke.

"Might even what? Start a war?"

"Hehe, if we fight, then we fight."

"If a war truly breaks out, Dragon Country can sink that island beneath the sea surface in just one day."

"Diplomatic crisis? Hehe, it's all just talk. Let them argue when the time comes."

"Young man, you need to broaden your perspective."

Hearing these words out of the blue,

Lin Fan was completely stunned.

Wow...

So... it was my perspective... that was too small?

No, no, no!

It wasn't that my perspective was too small,

it was that Master Li's perspective was too huge...

Even other big shots in Dragon Country would definitely have a headache over this matter!

"But speaking of which, that guy is determined to extract An Jin-san's bone marrow; that is indeed a bit excessive."

"As for this matter... I'm afraid only he would dare to think and do such a thing."

Master Li thought of something and gave a strange smile on his face.

But as Lin Fan looked at the smile on the old man's face,

his heart trembled violently again.

Old Master, what is with that doting and appreciative smile on your face?

And Master Li slowly spoke again, but this time about a different question.

"Did he agree to that condition?"

Lin Fan suppressed the tension in his heart and answered slowly.

"Not yet."

"Because after seeing the bone marrow data of An Jin-san, he has decided to put this matter aside for now."

"He said he would deal with it after he returns from the Island Nation..."

"However, I can feel that he seems willing to accept this condition; there is just one thing I cannot figure out."

"Why did he simultaneously reject both the State Security and the Military? What does he plan to do?"

"If he continues on his current path, he will have many enemies from countries all over the world!"

This point,

was indeed something Lin Fan could not figure out.

Master Li's fingers tapped lightly on the table as he looked at Lin Fan with deep meaning in his gaze.

"If I tell you..."

"He has already sent his team members to the Pacific Ocean to find a suitable island?"

Hearing this sentence,

Lin Fan's mouth dropped wide open directly,

"This...."

"Li Lao, what you mean is..."

"He really intends to establish his own faction???"

Buy a small island?

It can't possibly be for retirement, right....

Then only one possibility remains!

That small island,

will be a base!

"Dragon Nation is now facing a contradiction."

"From the start, I knew he wouldn't join Dragon Nation and accept its constraints, but if he doesn't join, the big shots above Dragon Nation cannot rest easy."

"That is why I made that decision: if he can't join, then let's cooperate."

"Do you think why we give him a sky-high annual salary of five billion?"

"Actually... that is the startup capital I represent Dragon Nation in giving him to buy an island and build his faction in the early stages!"

"This is the sincerity Dragon Nation puts forth, and also an investment."

"Hehe, that guy is not only extremely strong, but also extremely smart."

"He must have known the meaning behind it the moment he saw that document."

Listening and listening,

Lin Fan's back slowly got soaked with cold sweat.

Five billion in startup capital...

Building a faction...

An investment...

Lin Fan felt a bit panicked in his heart now,

because he vaguely sensed that

this old man before him,

and Dragon Nation,

were playing a very large game of chess!

If this trend continues,

will Lu Shu eventually create a super-faction outside of Dragon Nation?
