Chapter 892 - Phone

Thump! A tightly clenched fist wrapped in bandages delivered a powerful strike to Li Huowang's left rib, resulting in the sharp sound of bones cracking.

It wasn’t over. The bandages on the fist were quickly bitten open. Before they had fallen to the ground, they were pulled and wrapped firmly around Li Huowang’s neck.

Blood rushed to his head, and his face turned bright red, with veins bulging on his forehead. The lack of oxygen made his consciousness begin to blur.

He was about to be strangled to death, so he threw his head back and slammed it into his opponent’s face.

The bandages around his neck loosened slightly. Li Huowang gritted his teeth, planted both feet on the ground, and forcefully pushed.

Li Huowang shot upward and slammed hard on the enemy behind him.

When he landed and felt the enemy pinned beneath him, he rolled backward and stood up. He lifted his right foot and aimed a powerful kick at his opponent’s head.

The enemy quickly curled up and used their back as a shield to block Li Huowang’s kick.

She used the momentum and swept her leg forcefully at Li Huowang’s other leg, causing him to lose balance.

“Dinner’s ready.” A calm voice interrupted the deadly fight, prompting them to stop.

Li Huowang took three steps back and glared murderously at Ba Nanxu as she stood up.

He rubbed his sore neck, finding it more challenging to swallow. The force used against him had clearly had killing intent.

Ba Nanxu felt the spot where Li Huowang had kicked her and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Her lipstick-painted lips parted, revealing blood-stained gums.

Her forked tongue flicked quickly from the bloody water and then retracted. “Damn it, I’m starting to like you more and more.”

He clenched his teeth, pointed his middle finger at her, and then turned towards a takeout bag.

He opened the meal box, which contained Yangzhou fried rice, radish, and pork rib soup in a clay pot. Ignoring Ba Shengqing, who had brought the food, he grabbed a pair of disposable chopsticks and started eating heartily.

He glanced around as he ate. They were in an abandoned factory filled with rusty pipes and puddles of stagnant water.

He had been staying here for some time now. Zhao Shuangdian had said they would counterattack, but she had yet to appear since that day.

If not for the brother-sister duo interacting with him, Li Huowang might have thought they’d forgotten about him.

The sparring matches were Li Huowang’s idea. He wanted to become stronger, and the Ba siblings truly had some skills. His progress in combat had been swift during this period.

“Hey maniac, you’re on TV! That one-eyed look of yours is pretty photogenic,” Ba Nanxu said, waving her phone at Li Huowang as she ate.

Li Huowang didn’t even glance up and continued to wolf down his meal. “Any news from Zhao Shuangdian yet? I’m tired of just sparring with you every day. Weren’t we supposed to act next month? There are only a few days left.”

Ba Nanxu lit a cigarette with a click of her lighter. “Why the rush? She’s sorting out fake passports. It won’t be long.”

“Passports? What for?”

“What do you think? To leave the country, obviously.”

Li Huowang paused in surprise. He hadn’t expected Zhao Shuangdian’s plan to involve that.

“Will getting a passport allow us to reach another elephant?” Li Huowang said. He felt like things couldn’t be that simple.

He pressed further and said, “Where are we going?”

“Don’t ask. Once we get there, you just need to take care of them. You don’t really care, do you?”

Li Huowang slammed his chopsticks down, looking impatiently at the siblings. “Why shouldn’t I care? Don’t forget they tried to kill me before!”

“Call Zhao Shuangdian. I want to ask her what’s going on.”

Ba Nanxu rolled her eyes and tossed her phone at him. “Call her yourself.”

Li Huowang grabbed the phone and quickly found Zhao Shuangdian’s name in the contacts. After a few short rings, her composed voice came through,

—Hello, Li Huowang. What’s up?

“When are we leaving? Give me a clear answer. Stop stringing me along.”

—We’re leaving tonight. Don’t sleep.

“Fine. If we’re going to make a move now, you need to tell me more about this other elephant. We need to know our enemy to win.”

—There’s nothing more to say. I’ve already explained. They’re the same people who tried to kill you.

—I can’t explain what they appear like to me. Even if I could, you wouldn’t understand. You’re touching the trunk while I’m touching the tusks.

—I’ll take you to the location. Just see for yourself what they look like to you.

Her words reminded Li Huowang of the people who had once monitored him.

After a brief pause, Li Huowang said, “I need weapons.”

—Of course. I’ll arrange that. However, I need you to promise me one thing: once we’re there, follow my orders. No questions asked.

"Sure, sure, got it!" Li Huowang impatiently pulled the phone away from his ear, ready to hang up.

—Wait, this is important. I need you to confirm. If you display any doubts or disobedience once we’re there, I’ll consider it a betrayal of your own elephant.

“Any doubts or disobedience?” Li Huowang pondered her words. Something felt off. “What exactly is going on there?”

—I’ll explain when we arrive. It’s too complicated to explain now.

Zhao Shuangdian abruptly ended the call, leaving a lingering beep in Li Huowang's ear.

He tossed the phone back to Ba Nanxu, frowning as he mulled over Zhao Shuangdian’s words. There hadn’t been such strict rules before.

Over there, could I really betray my own elephant? And if I did, what would the consequences be?

It was hard to imagine how bizarre the world of god Yu’er might be.

As Li Huowang was thinking, two fingers painted in black nail polish snapped in front of him.

“Hey maniac, are you done eating? Ready for round two?” Ba Nanxu clicked her brass knuckles together, creating sparks.

Li Huowang looked at her and said, “Can I ask you something?”

Ba Nanxu shook her head immediately. “Don’t give me any of your crazy talk. I’m not arguing with a lunatic. You in or not? If not, I’m heading back to my shop.”

“I’m in!” Li Huowang gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and stood up again.
