"Lin's strength is impressive, but compared to Miki War God..."

"Bang!"

Ward looked dejectedly, just as he was halfway through his sentence, he heard a massive explosion suddenly erupt.

"What, what happened?"

Ward lifted his head, Kro and Yina also widened their eyes, akin to copper bells, then showed expressions of disbelief.

Lan Bo and Adam Vite glared, their faces displaying shock.

Lin Mo's punch struck, and Miki seemed to have no chance to resist. His whole being was like a cannonball out of the muzzle, moving with the speed of a meteor. The high-pressure airflow wrapping his body shattered the stone pillars, tables, food, and drinks in the hall. Even the sturdy marble underfoot was pulled out into a long groove, with soil upheaved.

Miki's face carried a look of shock, confusion, and horror. His body flew backward for a hundred meters, from the inner hall to the outside lawn, leaving a trail of overturned turf. He collided with a small car by the roadside, and the car seemed struck by a meteorite, instantly turning into a heap of scrap metal.

"Pft!"

Miki spewed a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as woven linen, feeling both anger and shock; his whole body's power began to disorder, and he suffered severe trauma.

"Sir."

Two beams of light flashed from inside the hotel, instantly appearing beside Miki.

"No need to say more, let's go back."

Miki gritted his teeth, heart full of shock and anger, thinking this guy's strength might rank with the Second Councilman Hurricane, or even stronger, perhaps on par with the First Councilman. Where did this monster come from?

"Yes, sir."

The two bodyguards supported Miki, turning instantly into flowing light, rushing into the sky, disappearing from the scene.

Inside the hotel.

Adam Vite sensed Miki's aura vanish, frowned, and said, "That guy actually escaped?"

Can't blame Miki; Lin Mo's punch was dominant, fierce, and unbeatable. Who wouldn't escape rather than stay here and await death?

Adam Vite's gaze landed on Lin Mo, now with a trace of trepidation. Just now, even he himself probably couldn't easily take that punch.

"Who on earth is this guy? Such terrifying strength, comparable to the First Councilman." Adam Vite thought, secretly amazed.

"Master Lin, turns out you've been hiding your abilities all along." Lan Bo's mouth curled into a bitter smile. Now he finally understood why Yingzi chose Lin Mo, not him.

Ward, Kro, and Yina were more filled with an expression of terror. Miki, the Thunder God ranked seventh in the War God Temple, was beaten into retreat by Lin Mo's single punch, leaving without even a groan. Terrifying!

Inside the hotel, leaders from other mercenary groups or strong figures from Snow City were dumbstruck, unable to recover for a long time.

"Master Lin, Yingzi, today's banquet seems to be a bust, affecting your mood. How about we head back for a chat?" Lan Bo suggested, focusing on Lin Mo.

"Hmm, to be honest, I don't particularly enjoy these social gatherings." Lin Mo nodded and replied.

Lan Bo spoke a few words with Adam Vite, then left the hotel with Lin Mo and Yingzi, heading back to the Lan Bo family villa to rest.

"Some unpleasant things happened today; hopefully they don't spoil everyone's good mood. Please feel free." Adam Vite said with a smile, trying to ease the eerie atmosphere in the hotel.

In the corner of the hotel, Phil, the assistant, frowned, clenching his fists tightly. Even as his sharp nails dug into his flesh, he didn't feel the pain, and his back was already drenched in cold sweat...

"Damn it, damn it... How could he be so strong, knocking back Miki with one punch? Miki's explosive temper would never leave silently unless he genuinely felt his life was threatened."

Phil's heart was filled with surprise, and even more with fear.

"Adam War God, the guild has official business to attend to, so I must take my leave." Phil approached Adam Vite, said a sentence, and then quickly left with two subordinates.

"Hmm, this Phil was acting weird today?"

Adam Vite frowned, his eyes showing a questioning look, then shook his head.

"Ward, Leader, it's been a while."

Ward, Kro, and Yina stood there dazed for a long time, unable to respond. Suddenly, a woman in an elegant long dress approached them.

"Leader Alice of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps..." Ward blinked, stammering.

The woman in front, with her noble demeanor, was like a royal, yet she was actually a leader of a Level Mercenary Group, renowned in Snow City, and to the Snow Lion Mercenary Group, she was an existence high above.

"Hello, Leader Alice." Ward quickly snapped back to his senses.

Not only that, other famous mercenary groups started greeting them, showing friendly attitudes, leaving contact information.

Ward, Kro, and Yina understood very well that because of their connection with Lin, these ordinarily aloof mercenary groups became so enthusiastic.

…

Lan Bo Family's villa.

The first-floor living room was grandly decorated, with elaborate ornaments, and several Monet oil paintings hanging on the walls, adding a touch of the Renaissance art atmosphere.

"Master Lin, I'm really sorry for what happened today. I didn't know Miki would suddenly come for you." Lan Bo sat on the sofa, speaking with a touch of apology, not because Miki came to them, but because Adam Vite didn't stand up to defend his friend.

"This has nothing to do with Young Master Lan Bo." Lin Mo shook his head and said.

Lan Bo sighed and said, "Do you know why my father didn't stand up to speak for you? In fact, there's some difficulty involved. The Third Councilman is about to retire, and my father ranks fourth in the War God Temple's strength, making him the most hopeful candidate to compete for the Third Councilman position."

"Oh? The councilman's assistant who came today was persuading your father to abandon running for the Third Councilman position?"

Lin Mo asked with slight interest.

"Are you referring to Phil? Three years ago, he became the assistant to the Second Councilman Hurricane. His strength may not be high, but his position in the Mercenary Guild is extremely high, and even some War Gods are very courteous to him." Lan Bo said, shaking his head, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Yingzi blinked, curious, and asked, "Why does the Second Councilman want to stop your father from running? Isn't he already a Councilman? Why would he still want to compete for a Councilman position?"

Lan Bo put down the wine glass, lowered his head, and smiled bitterly, saying, "You're aware of the Mercenary Guild's power. It nearly controls the entire resource of the Siberian Ice Field. To become a mercenary group or an adventurer, one must pass the Mercenary Guild's audit, which holds vast profit prospects. The War God Temple is the high-level management of the Mercenary Guild, and they are both overtly and covertly contending for resources."

"The War God competing with my father is named Jins, ranked fifth on the War God ranking. His brother is the Second Councilman Hurricane, who wants his brother to secure a Councilman position to gain more benefits."

Lan Bo explained slowly.
