Chapter 1379
"As expected of the second heir to Atlantis," Zeus said.
Ximen Wudi shook his head: "I don't need to use the word 'heir' to judge myself. Besides, who the head of Atlantis is doesn't have much to do with me."
He truly didn't care; otherwise, how could he have brought Zeus to this seaside villa?
"For a while now, I've been staying at that seaside bathhouse of yours in the East for several days," Zeus suddenly said.
"Hmm?" A look of confusion appeared in Ximen Wudi's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask: "How come I haven't heard of this?"
"That seaside bathhouse is your family's property." A complex light flashed in Zeus's eyes: "It's just that the scenery there is truly beautiful. You little brats grew up bathing and playing there, even singing and dancing. Unfortunately, I tore that house down."
However, in such a high-level battle, it was destined that Zeus could not exert his full strength; otherwise, Ximen Wudi might not have been his opponent.
"Hahaha, you are quite confident, unlike Apollo, who always lacks a bit of courage." Zeus sat up from the beach, patted the sand off his clothes, and said mockingly.
"No, it's just that I disdain to make a move against a cripple." Ximen Wudi finished speaking indifferently and walked toward his yacht.
"What did you say!" Zeus roared.
"I said... you are a disabled person." Ximen Wudi turned his head to glance at him, his eyes full of mockery: "There is no doubt about this."
After speaking, he boarded the ship.
Zeus looked at the bloodstains on the back of his hand and narrowed his eyes: "Just you wait. Once we reach Europe, I will kill you with my own hands. I mean what I say!"
…………
Ximen Wudi was taking a hot bath in the pool when he suddenly heard the sound of sirens outside.
He frowned and looked at the window, but didn't see any police.
He shook his head: "Sigh, I guess tonight's dinner is cold again."
Ximen Wudi's stomach had long been growling with hunger. He put on his swimming trunks, went barefoot to the door, and pushed it open.
He wanted to shout—the restaurant's chef is off today, so dinner is provided for free; no need to pay, thanks for your patronage.
However, when Ximen Wudi pulled the door open, he saw three men.
All three were wearing suits and sunglasses, looking quite like gangsters.
"What are you here for?" Ximen Wudi asked, puzzled.
"We are here to protect your safety," the leading bodyguard said.
Before his words had even faded, Ximen Wudi threw a punch.
These three bodyguards hadn't expected Ximen Wudi to strike suddenly at all. In a single exchange, they took several hits.
"I don't like strangers wandering around in my room." Ximen Wudi narrowed his eyes, his killing intent surging suddenly: "Especially, I hate others prying into my privacy."
"Apologies, respected Mr. Ximen Wudi." The bodyguard quickly lowered his head and explained: "Our mission is to protect your safety. Please understand."
"Oh, so that's it." Ximen Wudi smiled faintly: "However, I don't need bodyguards right now, and I believe there are very few people in this world who can threaten me."
As he spoke, he kicked out violently.
Bang!
That bodyguard was kicked five or six meters away!
The other two bodyguards saw this and immediately rushed forward to attack Ximen Wudi!
Their offensive was fierce and peerless, like a violent storm; ordinary experts would never dare to take it head-on! But Ximen Wudi didn't put these two bodyguards in his eyes at all.
He snorted coldly, turned his palms into claws, grabbed the two men's arms, and then pulled back with force!
Immediately following, a 'crack' sound rang out!
Those two arms had already been torn off by Ximen Wudi!
"Get lost!"
The two bodyguards screamed, fell far away, and lay on the ground rolling in pain!
Ximen Wudi stood at the edge of the pool and said coldly: "I only said I didn't need bodyguards, but I didn't say I didn't like to fight. Since you want to die, I will grant your wish!"
After speaking, he flew to the side of the two injured bodyguards and swept a whip kick, kicking them to the ground.
Bang bang!
The heads of these two men hit the pool wall heavily, and they fainted immediately.
Ximen Wudi turned his face to look at Zeus and sneered: "How about it? Do you think you still have a chance of winning?"
Zeus hadn't expected things to evolve into this state either, and his expression was gloomy to the extreme.
Just now, Ximen Wudi's move made Zeus feel terrified! Because the opponent had clearly held back; otherwise, with his current physical fitness, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand that strike at all!
"Damn guy, I know your background! You are Apollo's brother!" Zeus said through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, Ximen Wudi's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an evil, charming smile: "I really hate it when others use my brother's name to pressure me. You should be glad your life is tough enough; otherwise, I really wouldn't mind throwing you into the sea to feed the sharks!"
"Heh." Zeus stared at Ximen Wudi, intense hatred flickering in his eyes: "Do you think that just because you beat me, it means your brother can beat me? No, this time, I will make him pay a huge price!"
Although Zeus was angry, he also knew very well in his heart that the seemingly thin young man in front of him definitely possessed super-strong combat power!
Such an opponent, even Zeus was unwilling to provoke actively!
"You'd better pray not to meet him." Ximen Wudi's lips again outlined a cold arc: "Otherwise, I will make you lose all hope."
…………
At the same time, the speedboat Ximen Wudi was riding had already sailed out of the international waters and arrived at the small island closest to the Huaxia border.
The location of this small island was very remote; besides trees, there were basically no buildings around.
This made things even more convenient for Ximen Wudi.
"You two go into the water first and lurk nearby. I'm going to scout the path." Ximen Wudi said, dragging Nightingale down from the driver's seat: "Otherwise, what if a delicate girl like you gets eaten by a wild beast?"
Nightingale didn't answer. She just looked at Ximen Wudi deeply before leaping into the ocean.
This girl was always like this; no matter whether she was willing to admit it or not, she had to admire Ximen Wudi's insight.
Such keen judgment was something Nightingale did not possess.
"We should go into the water too." The Ye Pu disciple said.
Ximen Wudi nodded: "Alright, be careful."
With the Ye Pu sword in hand, Ximen Wudi took these two disciples and jumped into the seawater, moving rapidly toward the front.
In this season in South America, the seawater was still very cold.
Ximen Wudi's underwater swimming speed was very fast, and his physical toughness far exceeded that of ordinary special forces soldiers, so he didn't worry at all that water pressure would affect his speed.
As for the two disciples of Ye Pu Island, they relied entirely on their internal energy to barely keep up with Ximen Wudi's speed.
"We must try to move toward the southeast. After all, that is land, and we will have more advantages there." Ximen Wudi said: "Moreover, if there really is no treasure on this island, then these things must be in the hands of a certain force. Therefore, the further east we go, the less difficult it will be for us to obtain intelligence."
"I understand, Uncle Feng. Leave this matter to me." One disciple said: "I am familiar with the South American terrain. There are too many islands here. To find the destination marked on the treasure map, it might take a long time."
"Hmm." Ximen Wudi nodded and said: "Then you should prepare as soon as possible."
"Alright, we will leave footprints along the way. Uncle Feng, wait for our news." This disciple said, then followed the edge of the island, tracing the coastline all the way toward the northwest.
"Uncle Feng, you be careful too. We must be stealthy. If we are discovered, it will bring you a lot of trouble." The other disciple urged.
"Hmm, don't you worry." Ximen Wudi nodded.
He knew how large this tropical rainforest was and how far these two disciples could go. Moreover, they were elite-level figures from Ye Pu Mountain; if they encountered danger, the probability of escape was extremely high.
"I'll go first. Wish you success." Ximen Wudi waved his hand.
He was now going to search for the radium gold mine; hopefully, this mining area still existed.
"Uncle Feng, stay safe!" The other Ye Pu Mountain disciple shouted.
"Alright, don't worry."
Ximen Wudi said, then swam along the island toward the northwest.
In his view, the primary goal now was to collect data, figure out the reserves and location of the radium gold mine, and then consider the issues of mining or sales.
Unfortunately, because the output of radium gold material was far too scarce, the possibility of Ximen Wudi selling the radium gold mine through formal channels was basically zero.
Moreover, if he couldn't turn this radium gold mine into something useful, then Ximen Wudi would absolutely never sell it.
On this point, Ximen Wudi stood by his position.
