Chapter 72: Thoughtful Care

What was even more astonishing was that behind Master Tuo and Liu Di, Black Mountain and Duan Hua, who were usually so imposing, followed with their heads bowed.

And at the very end was Old Master Yan.

The once mighty Yan Hongxin, the richest man in Haishi, now appeared the most insignificant!

As they approached the crowd,

Liu Di passed by Nan Ruoyi and said, "I have some ideas for improving your 'career.' I'll contact you later."

"Yes, sir."

Nan Ruoyi remained as respectful as before, nodding in agreement.

Then,

The old man and the youth slowly walked down the mountain under the watchful eyes of everyone.

No one dared to stop them.

General Black Mountain's face was inscrutable as he waved his hand. All the soldiers boarded their vehicles and prepared to leave.

On the mountain road,

Liu Di nodded to Master Tuo. "Master Tuo, thank you for helping me out."

"Ha ha, kid, do you think I didn't know your capabilities? Even if I hadn't come, they wouldn't have been able to trap you."

Master Tuo chuckled.

"Then, Master Tuo, why did you come?" Liu Di asked, puzzled.

"You have extraordinary talent, and you'll have a day to shine. But when acting outside, connections and relationships are indispensable!"

Master Tuo smiled meaningfully. "I came today to use the authority of my old bones to help you establish military connections while I still have some sway."

"Don't be fooled by how respectful Black Mountain is in front of me; that's because he's a man of integrity and gratitude!"

"His strength is far beyond what you can imagine!"

"Make good use of it in the future!"

Liu Di nodded earnestly. "Thank you, Master Tuo."

"However, Master Tuo, you're too modest."

At that moment,

The vehicles of Black Mountain and Duan Hua, along with several armored personnel carriers, slowly caught up with the two.

Black Mountain, sitting inside the car, rolled down the window and was about to say something.

Master Tuo waved impatiently. "Move along!"

Black Mountain, looking frustrated, had no choice but to instruct the driver to continue and pass by Liu Di and Master Tuo.

Watching the soldiers on the armored vehicles still maintaining their salute,

Master Tuo appeared kindly.

"Little Liu Di, I didn't expect you to defeat Black Mountain's elite troops so quickly!"

Master Tuo nodded in satisfaction. "Your progress has exceeded my expectations."

Liu Di really didn't know how to respond!

Three years ago,

After Master Tuo rescued Liu Di and he awakened,

This eccentric old man was filled with excitement!

He claimed Liu Di was the chosen one!

Later, after careful investigation,

It was found that Liu Di had a unique physique and his genes were vastly different from ordinary people!

If Liu Di's condition could continue to improve on its own,

Or receive corresponding external assistance,

He had the potential to become an extraordinary person, a so-called 'genius'!

In other words, Liu Di himself was the talent!

But in reality,

Over the past three years, Liu Di felt no different from others.

He even suffered from a lingering headache!

Liu Di's current strength

Was entirely due to the adjustments made by the Demon Child!

But in the end, Liu Di condensed it into a few words: "I'm just lucky."

Liu Di paused and casually asked, "Master Tuo, where did you get that fake eye you replaced for me?"

Master Tuo stroked his chin, thinking for a while. "I don't remember which hospital it came from, but it was disinfected."

"Uh... okay."

Master Tuo chuckled, then grew serious. "Little Liu Di, having such talent is your fortune and also the fortune of our country."

"When the country needs you, Master Tuo hopes you will step up and contribute to the nation. Don't waste my heartfelt efforts on you."

Master Tuo said this and looked ahead with his hands clasped behind his back.

But Liu Di could see the deep-seated passion hidden in his eyes.

Although Master Tuo had hidden his name, his patriotic fire had never dimmed!

"I will do my best!"

Liu Di said, also lifting his chest.

At this moment, on a higher part of the mountain,

Lü Ziming, Zhou Tiancheng, and Ouyang Fengyu were looking down at the old man and youth descending the winding mountain road.

Zhou Tiancheng's anger was palpable as he looked at Liu Di. "He ruined me, left me with no way out. If I die, he won't have an easy time either!"

Ouyang Fengyu's face was dark. "What can you do to him? Can't you see how powerful he is? The Nan family, the military—all treat him with utmost respect!"

"Hmph, power?"

Zhou Tiancheng was almost mad with rage!

"So what if he has power? Does his power guard him twenty-four-seven?"

"I won't do anything else from now on. I will mobilize all my connections to find desperate individuals and keep a close watch on Liu Di. Once he slips up, I'll take his life!"

"I want to see how long he can be arrogant!"

Hearing Zhou Tiancheng's words, Ouyang Fengyu and Lü Ziming did not object!

These two were even more calculating.

It was rare for someone like Zhou Tiancheng to act out!

It would be best to eliminate Liu Di!

Just in time to remove a stumbling block!

Boom!

Suddenly, an explosion was heard on the mountain road!

The sound did not come from Master Tuo and Liu Di's direction.

But from the Black Mountain convoy that had reached the mountain's midsection!

On one side of the winding road,

Grenades were being thrown from the woods!

Boom! Boom!

Grenades exploded frequently.

But they were not ordinary lethal grenades.

Instead, they were specially made smoke bombs!

In an instant, the Black Mountain convoy was engulfed in dense smoke!

The soldiers instantly went on high alert!

But due to the smoke, their visibility was completely lost!

No one expected that General Black Mountain would be attacked here!
