Across the phone, he could imagine how marvelous the expression on the other end of the line was.
Han Xu’s body was like it had been hit by the Body-Stabilizing Technique, standing there motionless with the phone in hand, his gaze fixed forward.
Li Ping single-handedly killed two Beast Kings and a million Fierce Beasts?
This, this is impossible, isn’t it?
Indeed, he thought highly of the other party, believing their strength to be extraordinary, their potential immense, and each time they came, it brought him amazing surprises.
He thought the other party shouldn’t be just B-Class, they were clearly an A-Class.
However, even an A-Class Awakener couldn’t achieve such a feat, right?
Not to mention the two Beast King-level Fierce Beasts, just killing that million Fierce Beasts wouldn’t be an easy task; does he have that much Spiritual Power at his disposal?
More than a minute passed before he gradually regained clarity, hurriedly asking, "What exactly happened? How did he do it?"
"Chairman, it’s like this..."
Qin Jin recounted everything he had seen and heard.
Including his reactions at that time.
Han Xu was incredibly shocked by what he heard.
"Chairman, that’s the gist of it. Every word I said is absolutely true. If you don’t believe me, you can ask others in our team."
Qin Jin said.
"No worries, I believe you."
Han Xu took a deep breath.
Qin Jin indeed had no reason to lie to him. After all, saying this wouldn’t bring him any benefit.
That means, this matter is true.
Li Ping, alone, can even effortlessly kill a High-level Beast King.
How terrifyingly strong is this person’s strength?
"I guess there was never some awakened team; all the spoils he brought back the last few times were his own gains. Yes, only this could explain everything that happened in Anshan City."
Realizing this, Han Xu felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
"Besides me, who else did you tell about this?" he asked.
"No one."
Qin Jin shook his head, "As soon as we got back from the city wall, I called you first. Oh no, I forgot to remind them."
They all had phones with signals on them, after all.
They could call others like he did, or post messages on social platforms.
But unlike ten years ago, those without background and resources struggled to post anything on social platforms, let alone log in and view things.
"That’s fine."
Han Xu shook his head, "It’s not a big deal. Are you all still in Anshan City? Find an opportunity and come back first."
According to what Qin Jin said, having Chairman Li alone in Anshan City would be enough.
The people he sent over, including Qin Jin, couldn’t really be much help, and it wouldn’t be meaningful for them to stay.
"Chairman, we’re not planning to come back just yet."
Qin Jin smiled.
"Not planning to come back yet?" Han Xu was a bit surprised and then said, "Aren’t you worried that Anshan City won’t hold up? To tell you the truth, Anshan City is now like an isolated island, surrounded by Fierce Beasts. Anshan City may have held up this time, but what about the next?"
"Chairman, I understand what you mean, but I think Chairman Li might not have used his full strength yet."
Qin Jin voiced his suspicion, "That High-level Beast King, facing Chairman Li, fled in panic after a short while. I think, even if a top-level Beast King comes, Chairman Li could also kill it. I want to stay and witness it."
"That would be too reckless."
Han Xu shook his head.
"Even if Chairman Li’s strength surpasses a top-level Beast King, what if it’s not a Beast King-level Fierce Beast that shows up, but a Beast Emperor-level one?"
Qin Jin fell silent.
He had considered this possibility.
But unconsciously, he had been captivated by Chairman Li’s charisma.
He felt that perhaps the other party could indeed create a miracle, even deterring a Beast Emperor-level Fierce Beast from breaking through Anshan City, though he didn’t quite dare to believe it himself.
"Come back tomorrow."
Han Xu’s tone left no room for doubt, "Better safe than sorry. If the city falls, it’ll be too late for you to leave then."
"Yes, Chairman."
After a moment of hesitation, Qin Jin agreed.
He knew that Han Xu had their best interests at heart.
Anshan City was now a prime target. The longer they stayed, the greater the danger.
"What about Chairman Li?"
"You’re worried that Chairman Li, staying here, will be in danger if a Beast Emperor-level Fierce Beast shows up, right?"
"Yes, Chairman."
Qin Jin nodded repeatedly, "Chairman Li is so powerful, if something were to happen to him here, it would be a great loss for our Awakened Association and our Yan Country."
"I understand your concern, but my relationship with him is just barely stronger than yours; we’re far from being close friends. Moreover, Chairman Li looks like someone with firm opinions. Once such a person makes a decision, no matter how others try to persuade him, he won’t change his mind."
Han Xu sighed.
"Indeed."
"Alright, you guys get ready. Tomorrow morning, say your goodbyes to Chairman Li and head back to Juque City. There are quite a few Fierce Beasts on the way; be careful. As for Chairman Li, I’ll figure something out."
"Yes, Chairman."
Qin Jin hung up the phone.
He let out a sigh.
After Han Xu hung up the phone, he didn’t put it down but found a contact number in his address book, surprisingly none other than Li Ping.
After hesitating for a moment, he still dialed the number.
Chen Fan, who was sitting and recovering his True Qi, felt the phone vibrate. Seeing the caller ID, he showed a hint of surprise, then seemed to realize something and answered the call.
"Chairman Li, it’s me."
Han Xu greeted warmly, his face full of smiles.
"I heard from Qin Jin that a Beast Tide broke out outside Anshan City just now, with over a million attacking Fierce Beasts, including two Beast King-level Fierce Beasts, right?"
"Yes."
Chen Fan replied, "It’s just a shame that the materials from those beasts weren’t preserved. Otherwise, I could have sold them to you, Chairman Han, for some points."
"Chairman Li, you jest."
Han Xu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "That was a battlefield. If you were fixated on preserving the spoils, who knows how many times you would have died? For you to single-handedly kill a million Fierce Beasts and protect a city is a great merit."
"You flatter me, Chairman Han. I only did what I could."
Chen Fan shook his head, "Chairman Han, if you have something to say, please just say it."
"Chairman Li is as forthright as ever."
Han Xu smiled awkwardly, "I’ll get straight to the point. I called you this time, firstly, to confirm what Qin Jin said. Secondly, to invite you to our Juque City. Please don’t rush to decline."
He hastened to add, "I know you have feelings for this city and its people, but those Fierce Beasts are not fools. Knowing that this siege failed, their next attack will be even harder to fend off, possibly involving Beast Emperor-level Fierce Beasts. At that time, protecting others in the city, let alone yourself, would be uncertain.
If you come to our Juque City, you’ll definitely be much safer. Your addition to Juque City will greatly enhance our security. Even if a Beast Emperor-level appears, we have three mega urban centers in the inner ring. Those three S-Class Awakened can quickly come to our aid."
