With a starting talent that's practically top-tier, even an old man can go against the heavens!

Hughes was stunned!

That's not what you just said!

Wasn't the research supposed to cover 108 ways not to eat beef?

Why does he refuse to eat beef when he's with the city lord, but suddenly change his mind when he's with the city lord?

So he's the one who has to suffer all the injustice?

Hey?

wrong!

He should be happy that the two of them get along so well!

You shouldn't complain...

But...why do I feel a little wronged?

"Then you two, Lord City Lord, continue your conversation. I'll take my leave now..."

Hughes took a deep breath, suppressed his aching heart, bowed, and took his leave.

Bang!

There were only two people left in the room.

Laki stared at Old Man Chen in silence for a long while before slowly speaking.

"The demon realm has opened a second front in the Winter Holy City, and they do need manpower there, but..."

He looked Chen Beixuan up and down, and sighed softly.

"...You're too old and lack the skills; they probably won't want you..."

Chen Beixuan: ......

Hmph, looking down on an old man like me again.

I'll find a streetlamp to hang it on for you morning and evening...

This so-called Winter Holy City is a level 2 main city, and you need to be level 50 to enter it.

He's still a bit short of the required level, so he obviously hasn't met the trigger conditions yet.

I have to swipe it again.

Suddenly, Raki changed the subject.

"But...with my letter of introduction, none of this will be a problem..."

Chen Beixuan narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

"What are the conditions?"

Hear his words.

Laki suddenly shook off his dejected look, and his gaze sharpened.

He said, enunciating each word clearly: "Destroy the Church of Light within the city!"

"Huh? You want me to wipe out the Church of Light all by myself? Are you kidding me!"

"you are not willing?"

"Then you've misunderstood. It's just that the Church of Light is exceptionally powerful and deeply entrenched..."

Chen Beixuan remained calm and composed, staring at him with a steady gaze.

"...One letter is far from enough."

Raki stared at him with his salty eyes for a while.

Gradually returning to negative mode, he sighed.

"Besides the letter of recommendation, I'll also give you the title of Crusader Hero, and..."

"As long as you can complete the mission, you can take as much of anything from the Church of Light as you want."

"Are you satisfied with this?"

[Ding! Raki Schwarz has issued you an A-rank hidden quest, "Cleanse the Church." Accept?]

[Cleanse the Church]: Rank A Hidden Quest

Quest Description: The Church of Light has strayed from its original mission and become a bloodsucker of the City of Radiance. Lord Raki is unable to take action himself, so he requests your assistance.

Mission objective: Kill 108 church members, including Archbishop Martin (0/108).

Task duration: 24 hours.

Mission Rewards: 15000 experience points, 100 gold coins, plus the Crusader honor title, a letter of recommendation, and priority in choosing loot.

------

He had seen the Crusader honor title before; it required 100 million merit points to exchange for in Sunset City.

He didn't choose to redeem it at the time, but now it has become a task reward.

Don't want it for nothing.

Chen Beixuan smiled with satisfaction.

"Happy cooperation!"

......

After leaving the city lord's mansion, Chen Beixuan did not immediately go to find Pedro.

Instead, she sent a message to Lu Ziming while thinking about it.

[Old Chen: Gather quickly, I'm taking you there! /Location...]

[I Want to Defy the Heavens: Heart/Heart/Coming, coming in 10 minutes!]

He turned off the panel and fell into deep thought.

Helping Lu Ziming level up was one thing, but on the other hand, he wanted to talk to Lu Ziming.

After all, it was Lu Ziming's biological father who first sent people to prepare to kidnap him.

What if Lu Ziming wants revenge if he accidentally gets his father caught on a street lamp later?

Of course, the worst solution would be to deal with both the father and son at the same time.

Never suffer from future troubles.

But since they had some connection, he decided to talk to them first.

If you can persuade his father to come to his senses in time, then you can also help him get rid of Chen Fan.

That would be perfect...

10 minute later.

Lu Ziming and the super dad rushed over, and couldn't help but grin even before they got close.

"Grandpa, you finally contacted me! I thought you weren't going to take care of me anymore..."

The super dad still doesn't talk much, but the smile on his face lingers.

Chen Beixuan smiled and nodded at him, then looked at Lu Ziming and said with a slightly serious expression.

"Come here yourself, I have something to tell you."

After saying that, he walked towards the shadows of a house on the side.

The two looked at each other blankly, and the new dad shrugged, indicating that he knew nothing.

Lu Ziming was a little confused, but he followed after him.

"What is it, sir?"

Once he had settled in, Lu Ziming couldn't wait to ask.

Chen Beixuan stared into his eyes and said meaningfully.

"If I have a conflict with your father, whose side will you take?"

"what???"

Lu Ziming was dumbfounded.

This question was no less difficult for him than deciding who to save first if his girlfriend and mother fell into the water.

He stroked his chin, deep in thought.

He spoke after half a minute.

"If this were a game, I would absolutely support you, sir. I would even wholeheartedly agree to my dad quitting the game."

"But if it's reality, then I can only support you secretly, after all, he's my father..."

Chen Beixuan was both amused and exasperated after hearing this, and asked in confusion.

"You're such a filial son. You're making your dad cancel his game account, which is a loss for your family. Don't you feel bad about it?"

"Oh, what's there to worry about? My dad is incredibly rich. Every investment he makes involves hundreds of millions or even billions. Don't think that just because the server has only been open for a few days and the investment isn't large, even if we lose hundreds of billions, it won't shake my family's business in the slightest."

Lu Ziming waved his hand dismissively.

Chen Beixuan couldn't help but purse his lips at this.

The evil capitalists...

There was no point in hiding anything now, so he went straight to the point.

“Your father has found my physical address and wants to kidnap me. I hope you can persuade him to stop, so that things don’t get out of hand.”

"What? Is there such a thing?"

Lu Ziming's expression changed slightly, clearly he was kept in the dark and knew nothing about it.

He nodded emphatically, his face serious and earnest.

"I understand. I'll go find my dad after I log off."

After he finished speaking, both of them fell silent.

Lu Ziming pondered for a while, and then suddenly realized what it meant.

The old man's tone sounded more like that of a strong person speaking to a weak person.

Isn't he afraid when faced with something like this?

Or does he have something to rely on?

Are you rich?

But no matter how rich someone is, they can't be as rich as his family.

Any background?

His family isn't bad either; most families don't have his family's background.

That's strange...

What is the old man's main asset...?

He knew that his father had found the address and was standing perfectly fine in front of him, without a scratch.

I don't understand...

"I'm about to do a quest, so five of you can help me level up."

Chen Beixuan patted him on the shoulder, breaking the silence with a smile.

Lu Ziming nodded, putting the matter out of his mind for the time being.

"Okay, I'll call someone right away."

Before long, the six-person team was ready.

Led by Chen Beixuan, they found Pedro in the tavern.

But as soon as they met...

Lu Ziming and the others were almost speechless with astonishment.

......
