"Could it be my benefactor?" Tong Zhan’s face showed a hint of astonishment.
He knew Lin Xi was strong, but to say Lin Xi was much stronger than him wasn’t quite accurate.
Even the most powerful Peak Soldier King couldn’t be that far superior to him.
He was aware of what lay beyond King of Soldiers.
However, he didn’t believe someone as young as Lin Xi could possess such power.
"Could it be that now, my benefactor’s strength has reached that of the most powerful Peak Soldier Kings?"
A few years ago, Lin Xi saved his life.
Back then, Lin Xi was somewhat stronger than him but not by much.
With the passing years, improvement in strength was certain.
But how much could one improve?
After all, reaching the level of a King of Soldiers takes a lot of time to enhance even a little strength.
However, he reconsidered.
For someone as young as Lin Xi to achieve Peak Soldier King status was indeed unimaginable to others.
Could a major leap be truly no issue?
As he was pondering this, the entire Mercenary Home and several other websites exploded.
"Dark Dragon is dead?"
"This must be fake!"
"I recall, he previously assassinated two Peak Soldier Kings. Although those two were aging and losing strength, they were still of that level!"
"But can this be false?"
"..."
Everyone became baffled by this matter.
Someone posed another question, "Who is Shadow?"
"If Dark Dragon being killed is true, then this Shadow must be extremely fantastic!"
"Exactly, not only has the Shadow Club’s power not diminished but it has significantly increased. Wait a second, now it should be called the Shadow Club!"
"Has anyone ever heard of this Shadow?"
"There’s a feeling it’s an unexpectedly emerging person?"
"Or perhaps, this Shadow wasn’t initially named Shadow, just changed the name!"
"..."
Following this, several members of Dark Dragon Club publicly and loudly announced that Dark Dragon was already dead.
Additionally, Dark Dragon had remained silent.
Everyone consequently believed that Dark Dragon indeed was.
But no one relaxed, for with Dark Dragon gone, an even stronger figure had become the leader of Dark Dragon Club—no, Shadow Club.
Thus in the future, wouldn’t it be necessary to cautiously treat Shadow Club?
The impact of Dark Dragon’s death immediately reached the ears of several bigwigs.
They were still very concerned about this matter.
Moreover, they privately arranged for someone to inquire about the news.
The first question was, how did Dark Dragon get killed?
The second was, who is Shadow? What exactly is this person’s manner of working?
Meanwhile, Lin Xi and Ding Yueqiu, the principal figures behind this affair, sat in the VIP room as if nothing had happened.
After a while, Ding Yueqiu fell asleep on the sofa.
Lin Xi, Zhu Ying, and Yan Xia refrained from disturbing her.
Moreover, Lin Xi picked her up and placed her on the bed to sleep.
After all, all three of them already knew that Ding Yueqiu hadn’t slept for two or three days in order to evade capture.
She persevered through sheer willpower.
Otherwise, she would have long since been caught.
Without Lin Xi, she would be finished.
Therefore, over the past few days, she spent enormous energy both physically and mentally.
Once she relaxed, she couldn’t control her drowsiness; before she knew it, she dozed off.
As for Lin Xi, he didn’t feel a bit sleepy; on the contrary, he was infinitely energetic.
Thanks to proper rest for several hours, Zhu Ying and Yan Xia’s mental states had also recovered significantly.
