Dragon's Origin

## Chapter 86: Gaining a Foothold (Part 1)

The fire in the warehouse burned for the better part of the night, yet the surrounding people only dared to watch, not daring to put it out. At most, they pushed down houses not far from the warehouse to create an artificial isolation zone, and then could only watch the warehouse burn fiercely.

It wasn't that no one had tried to extinguish the fire with water, but whether it was the initial incendiary bombs burning, or the later burning cooking oil, pouring water on it only caused more brutal consequences. In the end, people could only stop, watching the burning flames in vain, helpless.

Many people had insomnia this night. Of course, even more people were scared out of their wits.

Wang Sheng casually threw out something the size of an egg, and it caused all of this, especially the flames that could burn in water, which gave almost everyone who saw that scene a psychological shadow.

Those who were responsible for monitoring Wang Sheng rapidly reported to their superiors and then seemed to never want to follow Wang Sheng again.

Flames that can burn in water? How could such a ridiculous thing happen? When the heads of the various families heard this report, their first reaction was whether this guy was joking with them.

But when the head of the family looked at the trembling and dazed expression of the subordinate reporting to him, he couldn't help but believe it a little. When they sent people to the fire scene again to ask around, they basically confirmed that their subordinates were not lying.

Early in the morning, the warehouse fire finally went out. It burned all night, leaving almost nothing. After even the last bit of embers inside had been extinguished, someone finally entered the warehouse to carefully examine it.

More than one person entered the warehouse remains, but everyone tacitly did not interfere with each other, and sometimes even cooperated. For example, when they found a large hammer that was almost melted beyond recognition.

A small part of the hammer was completely unaffected. It was a piece of profound iron, completely unafraid of the fire's ravages. But the mark made of this profound iron became an important feature in determining the hammer. This hammer belonged to Ling Ba.

Many people had seen Ling Ba's hammer. Ling Ba almost never let the hammer leave his hand. Now that the hammer was melted here, where was the person?

Next to it was a sharp hairpin, also unmelted. This thing was also recognized. It was Ling Ba's hairpin, usually used to restrain his hair, and used as a hidden weapon for assassination when necessary. It was also made of special materials and was not melted.

Basically, seeing these two things, everyone could be sure that Ling Ba was in the warehouse when the fire occurred. But as for the person, even a hammer made of steel was melted, so one could imagine where the person went.

A peak fourth-level expert disappeared silently without even making a sound of struggle. This scene was terrifying no matter how one thought about it.

How many unimaginable things did Wang Sheng have on him? It seemed that every time he took something out, it would frighten people for a long time. Now what he took out was only of this power. According to people's normal imagination, what would be the power of Wang Sheng's trump card?

No one dared to think, and no one wanted to think. Anyway, after last night's fire, the guys who were thinking about taking action in Worry-Free City immediately put away their unwanted thoughts. This barbarian was a prickly head. If you don't touch him, he won't explode. If you touch him, he will explode. No one wants to be the next chicken that Wang Sheng uses to warn the monkeys.

Early in the morning, someone discovered the package opened at the entrance of Wang Sheng's small courtyard. A few guys who didn't know whether they were passing by or did it on purpose lifted it up and were directly scared half to death.

Five heads, the blood had long since dried up, but the terrified expression on their faces remained. Their wide eyes and terrified expressions seemed to have seen something incredible, but before they could scream or express it in any other way, their heads had moved.

Who made the move so quickly? If these five people were ordinary people, no one in Worry-Free City would care. Maybe any small vendor could do a quick kill. The problem was that none of the five people were ordinary people.

People who had stayed in Worry-Free City for a while could recognize that at least three of the five people were level four killers, and the other two were level three and level two. Their common style was that they were silent and had no warning before taking action, but suddenly they would violently kill people. No less than dozens of people had died under the means of these five people.

But the heads of these five people were inexplicably sent to the entrance of Wang Sheng's small courtyard. What did this indicate?

"Someone is protecting Wang Sheng." In Yu Baozhai, drinking the hot porridge brought by Ling'er and listening to Ling'er's report, Lu Wenhou calmly commented, "That's good!"

"He has so many things that others want. Who can protect him?" Ling'er had been against Wang Sheng since the first time she met him, and she didn't forget to say something unpleasant at this time.

Lu Wenhou smiled. Ling'er was a genius, and she was indeed excellent, but she just couldn't stand ordinary people knowing more than she did. After talking business with Wang Sheng last time, Ling'er didn't know how many times she worked harder, how many books she read. Whenever she talked about Wang Sheng, she still gnashed her teeth.

"It's because he has too many good things that he can be protected!" Slowly taking a sip of the carefully cooked porridge by Ling'er, it was very sweet and very soft. Lu Wenhou was very satisfied. After drinking it, he slowly said.

"Hmph! Sneaky, not even knowing who took action. Aren't they afraid that someone will dislike it, kill Wang Sheng, and embarrass them?" Ling'er was still unconvinced.

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, what exactly does Wang Sheng have that is worth the risk of offending the entire Worry-Free City for those aristocratic families to kill Wang Sheng?" Lu Wenhou smiled and continued to drink the sweet porridge and asked.

"Doesn't he know the secret of how to turn an unremarkable ordinary person into a first-level master?" Ling'er understood that her young master was testing her and said proudly, "Just this is enough for people from various families to fight over each other."

"Think about it carefully, is that really the case?" Lu Wenhou finished the porridge, took the scented towel from Ling'er's hand and wiped his mouth, and asked with a smile, "If it were you, would you snatch it?"

"Yes!" Ling'er replied decisively, "If it weren't for the young master valuing him, I would have taught him a lesson long ago."

"Silly girl!" Lu Wenhou lovingly touched Ling'er's head before saying seriously, "At first, they must have thought so, but now they have realized it and will no longer do such stupid things."

"Why?" Ling'er still didn't understand the key and asked in confusion.

"Tell me, is a hundred first-level minor cultivators useful to the family, or is a fifth-level or sixth-level master useful to the family?" Lu Wenhou asked.

"Of course it's a master!" Ling'er replied without thinking, "Even a thousand first-level cultivators may not be a match for a fifth-level or sixth-level master!"
