Just after lunch, Lin Qianfan walked into the study as usual, sat on the sofa near the window, sipped a cup of fragrant tea, and sighed at the peaceful time.
His figure was reflected on the window glass. He was a very attractive middle-aged man. Although he was no longer young, the lines on his face still showed that he must have been a handsome man when he was young.
Now, there are some gray spots in his black hair, and his previously smooth chin is now covered with a beard.
He remembered that thirty years ago, when he was still a teenager, he had already come to the Scavenger City.
He had fled here, his hometown was in Central China, his family was originally well off, but his father had offended a powerful figure in that fortress, and not only did his family fall into decline, but the other party also wanted to kill them all.
Lin Qianfan was the only one in that family who escaped from the fortress. His parents died, as did his older brother and younger sister. The servant who had been with him since childhood was also murdered while escorting him out of the city.
With the help of his father's friends, he escaped from Central China and avoided being hunted down. He then came to the Waste-Gathering City.
Those were extremely dark times.
He had been a thief and a burglar in the scavenger city, had sold his life to others, and had also killed people.
Until one day, he went to another fortress with some gold diggers. In the reverse world of that fortress, he awakened and became an ascender. Then fate favored him again.
He climbed up to his current position step by step, from a small figure in Scavenger City to a member of the Thunder Council. Only he himself knows what he has been through.
Now, he no longer had to add blood to his wounds. He had two beautiful and sensible daughters, and he consolidated his position by marrying them to the sons of two congressmen.
Next, according to his plan, he would send his son to parliament to become a member of parliament.
In this life, Lin Qianfan has no regrets.
As for his enemies, he had killed them all, either openly or secretly, ten years ago.
Lin Qianfan now has no other pursuit except to take the next step and become the speaker.
But it is not easy to become the Speaker. The current Speaker Lei Fu is the founder of this parliament. Not only does he have a group of loyal subordinates, he is also a Thunder Apostle of Level 7.
"A Heavenly Rank expert!"
Lin Qianfan sighed softly. His progress in sublimation had already been fully completed, and the media materials had been collected. But he had not yet tried to be promoted. After all, Rank 7 was a watershed and an important node on the road to sublimation.
If you succeed, you will be able to join the ranks of the powerful heavenly masters and become a person who deserves to be respected anywhere.
But if you fail, not being able to get promoted is a small matter. The worst thing is to regress in rank, or even lose control of your energy and die.
Precisely because there is a huge risk in being promoted to Rank 7, every Heavenly Rank expert deserves respect.
but.
Lin Qianfan also knew another way to be promoted to rank 7 safely, but using that method would at best expand the number of star essences, but would not cause a qualitative change, let alone cultivate a strong aura that was unique to him.
Those who used "deception" to get promoted to the rank 7 are not qualified to be included in the ranks of heavenly strongmen, and will be ridiculed. Even stronger rank 6s with powerful material weapons or items can easily defeat those watered-down rank 7s.
Because of this, Lin Qianfan has never used this method to advance. It is meaningless.
It has been decided that after his son Lin Yuan becomes a councillor and is promoted to rank 6, Lin Qianfan will try to reach rank 7.
If you fail, you will die!
Dengdengdeng—
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside, and then someone knocked on the door and said anxiously, "Sir, something happened."
The medical center in the Waste Collection City was opened by the Yunshang Association. The nurses here basically came from that organization. No matter where you are, women are a vulnerable group.
Especially in the West Land, in the Scavenger City.
The emergence of Yunshang Society has given the women in Scavenger City a means of survival. Yunshang Society teaches them various survival skills, nursing knowledge being one of them.
And those beautiful women who are carefully selected from hundreds of thousands will be cultivated by the Yunshang Society and then sent to various places. By utilizing the various advantages of women, countless conditions will be created for the growth of the Yunshang Society.
When Lin Qianfan walked into the gate of the medical center, a female doctor trained by the Yunshang Society had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Lin Qianfan appeared, she took two steps forward and spoke in a neither arrogant nor humble manner.
"Mr. Lin, I am Lin Yuan's attending physician, Han Ya."
"Doctor Han, how is the child's condition?"
The two talked as they walked.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin. I originally hoped to save Mr. Lin's hand, but his arm was crushed to pieces. With our current means, it is basically impossible to repair it."
"So now, we can only clean the wound and stop the bleeding. If you agree, I will install a mechanical prosthesis for Master Lin."
Walking into the elevator, Lin Qianfan's face was extremely gloomy. Although mechanical prostheses can replace human limbs, this kind of thing can certainly meet the needs of daily life. But for the sublimators, especially the high-level strong ones, mechanical prostheses can never replace their own bodies.
The strong fight for a single glimmer.
Mechanical prosthetics often become a weakness in high-level confrontations and a key factor in the defeat.
Now that his son’s residual limbs cannot be repaired and he can only be fitted with mechanical prostheses, even if he is promoted to rank 6 or even rank 7 in the future, he will never be among the top ones.
Arriving at the ward, Lin Qianfan gestured to let the others stay outside the door. He pushed the door open and went in. He saw his son Lin Yuan lying on the bed with a blank look in his eyes, as if he had lost his soul.
He snorted, thinking that his youngest son had been too successful in the past twenty years. He had paved the way for himself, and he had been smooth sailing without any setbacks. Now that he had lost an arm, he was devastated.
If it were him, this would not be a big deal. As long as he was still alive, there was hope.
But he knew that he couldn't use his own experience to ask his son to do the same. He could only shake his head and sigh, "This is my fault. Blame me for not reminding you earlier that you should never provoke the strong."
"Especially those strong outsiders. They have no business in the Waste Gathering City and have no scruples. And because they have just arrived in the Waste Gathering City, they need to establish their authority. To provoke them at this time is to put your head on the knife edge and die in vain."
"Fortunately, I was able to restrain myself and only broke your arm. Otherwise, I would have to see you in the morgue."
Lin Yuan's eyes moved, and then he looked at his father: "An unknown person suddenly said that he completed the commission of 'Ashe Town', can't I be suspicious?"
"So what if he's strong? Can he do whatever he wants in the waste city? Can he just cripple the arm of a councillor's son? If so, then the Thunder Councillor
The members of the council are too worthless. "
Lin Qianfan raised his lips slightly and said, "You are right. It is indeed suspicious that an unknown person suddenly jumped out and said that he had completed the commission of 'Ashe Town'. But you should not interfere in this matter. The correct way is to let the person in charge of the building report and upload it, and let the people above deal with this matter."
"This is Scavenger City. Even a member of the Thunder Council can be killed at any time in this lawless place, let alone the son of a member of the council."
"The only thing that can protect you here is your own strength. Everything else is just for show. You don't understand this, so you lost an arm today."
"You are not strong enough. You want to use my name to suppress an outsider. If the opponent is a low-level Ascendant, it's okay. But if it's a high-level one, especially a Level 6 strongman, doing this will only have the opposite effect."
"They will use your identity to promote themselves. Believe me, organizations like Blue Vital and Fire Ant Gang must have received the news by now, and they will rush to win over this powerful outsider."
"You didn't first inquire about the opponent's background and obtain his information. You didn't know the opponent's strength before you acted rashly. This was your second mistake."
Lin Qianfan patted his son's shoulder gently: "Just think of this as a lesson. I hope you won't make the same mistake again in the future."
Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with anger: "So, let's just let this matter go?"
"right."
"That's it."
Lin Qianfan said calmly: "Because next, that person will be sought after by all parties, and two people can clean up the 'Ashe Town'. No one will want to miss such a talent."
"Even now, our parliament has already sent representatives to apologize to them. So at this critical juncture, we can't do anything."
"Because no matter what you want to do, you won't succeed. This matter needs to be considered carefully. Let's start by looking at what kind of person he is..."
Lin Yuan clenched his only remaining fist, snorted, and ultimately did not object.
... ... ..
After leaving the registration building, Tianyang called Xingluo out. The two had lunch at a restaurant near the hotel before returning to the 'Blue Hill' Hotel.
As soon as I entered the door, someone came up to me with a big laugh: "Mr. Tianyang, we finally got you back."
Tianyang looked up and saw a man in his thirties, with a tall figure, wearing a double-breasted black coat and dark red soft armor underneath, striding towards him.
Behind him were the hotel staff. They were very respectful to the man in black. It seemed that he was from the "Blue Fortress".
Sure enough, the man in black introduced himself: "I am Cui Yao, the leader of the Blue Feather Corps of the Blue Fortress. I heard that Mr. Tianyang crippled Lin Yuan's arm in the registration building."
"If you ask me, it's a good thing that this arm is broken. Lin Yuan, relying on his father Lin Qianfan being a member of the Thunder Council, has always been arrogant. Not to mention an outsider like Mr. Tianyang, even if it was us, that guy dared to take advantage of us."
"So it's really gratifying to hear that Mr. Tianyang has crippled his arm. However, Lin Yuan is still Lin Qianfan's son. I'm afraid the Thunder Council won't let this matter go so easily."
"But it doesn't matter. As long as Mr. Tianyang is willing to join our 'Blue Fortress', we will take care of this matter!"
